"A disaster at the Boundless Sea?" Han Mengxiao froze slightly, his memory seemingly fading, then suddenly returning, startling him so much that his face flushed red and then darkened. "Could it be... could it be that they killed the Demon Lord and saved our Immortal Lord?"

Han Wuxie smiled slyly, the amusement in his eyes confirming that Han Mengxiao had guessed correctly.

Han Mengxiao blushed with embarrassment. He remembered that he had knelt down to her back then. No wonder this dignified immortal lord looked terrified, as if he couldn't accept his worship. In the end, it turned out that he, the grandfather, had knelt down to his granddaughter!

"You little brat, you've been lying to us since back then! You've been playing your grandpa for fools, is that fun? I even knelt down before you, you brat! Really! Really! I'm so angry! I've lost all face! You little rascal, I'm going to teach you a lesson today!"

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Han Mengxiao suddenly stepped forward and punished Han Wuxie by grabbing his ear.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch! Grandpa, I can't just reveal my identity, can I? My spirit won't let me say that the ring is an ancient artifact, afraid that others will plot against me. I couldn't just not save you, so I had to impersonate a celestial lord to save you! I wanted to leave after saving you, but you insisted on stopping me, thanking me and kneeling before me! I had no choice!"

Han Wuxie felt like crying but had no tears. Although he was now an Immortal Emperor and should not be afraid of his grandfather's small threats, he actually enjoyed this punishment. It was as if he felt that no matter what level of cultivation he had, in the old man's eyes, he was just his granddaughter, that simple, a granddaughter who could be taught a lesson whenever he wanted.

What I feared most at first was that after my identity was exposed, my family would treat me with utmost respect and gradually become distant. But it seemed that such a thing would never happen in front of this old man Han, who was considered somewhat domineering and tyrannical even by people in the immortal realm.

Seeing that Han Wuxie's ears were red from being pulled, and noticing her pained expression, Han Mengxiao couldn't bear to be so harsh. She angrily withdrew her hand, glared at Han Wuxie resentfully, and said sternly, "I'll let it go this time, considering you saved us last time! But don't lie to the family again! If I find out you dare lie to me again, you don't consider me your grandfather! I'll kick you out of the Han family! No matter how powerful you are outside, I'm still the head of the Han family, and I'm still your grandfather, understand?"

Han Xingyu and Han Tianci both rolled their eyes at Old Man Han helplessly. If it were the two of them, Old Man Han would have made them kneel down, but he wouldn't have let them off so easily. He would have definitely torn their ears until they bled before he was satisfied.

The two looked at each other, shook their heads simultaneously, and sighed inwardly: What a bias!

Han Wuxie grinned at Han Mengxiao, then stepped forward and took his arm ingratiatingly, "Grandpa is the best, the most generous! Don't worry, Grandpa, Wuxie would never dare to lie to you again!"

"You little brat!" Han Mengxiao's face, which had been puffed up with anger, became beaming with joy at the sweet "Grandpa is the best, the most generous!" Who could really blame such an obedient child? She wasn't trying to deceive him on purpose; she was just helpless. Besides, this child had been lovable since she was little, so he wouldn't really be angry with her.

The atmosphere seemed to become harmonious again, but deep in everyone's eyes, there was still a trace of sadness and pity. How could they really forget about Green Demon? She was clearly a witch, yet she had such a sincere heart. She was so devoted to Han Yu. How many immortals could do the same?

The people surrounding Hanjiashan Mountain wanted to witness the magnificence of the Immortal Emperor, but they were also afraid because of the messenger's words. Angry an Immortal Emperor was no joke.

Even though some of them were sect leaders or immortal lords who had concealed their cultivation, they knew that offending an immortal emperor would mean the complete annihilation of their sect. Immortal lords were also far inferior to immortal emperors; a single breath could mean their annihilation.

Those people dared not surround Han Family Mountain any longer. Upon learning that the Han family patriarch had become an Immortal Emperor, they dispersed and gathered in inns, restaurants, and other places to discuss the matter.

"Does the Han family have an ancestor? Besides Han Mengxiao, is there anyone older?"

"Who knows, the Han family claims it's their ancestor. Are we supposed to go in and investigate? Isn't that courting death? Offending a Celestial Emperor is no joke!"

"Could it be Han Mengxiao?"

"How is that possible! Isn't that arrogant old man Han a Grand Luo Golden Immortal? He's a long way from becoming an Immortal Emperor!"

"Who else is in the Han family?"

"The most powerful member of the Han family should be Wanlicang. It seems he's about to become a Celestial Lord, but he's still far from becoming a Celestial Emperor. Everyone knows there's a huge gap between a Celestial Lord and a Celestial Emperor, unlike the simple transformation from a Celestial Immortal to a Celestial Lord!"

"It's not Han Mengxiao, not Wanlicang, and there aren't any other old guys either. Could it be someone from the younger generation?"

"The generation of Han Yu?"

Someone laughed mockingly: "How is that possible! That guy Han Yu has been shouting and yelling on the Boundless Sea every day since twelve years ago, always looking for the witch Lü Mei. I think he's completely infatuated with Lü Mei. How could someone like that become an Immortal Emperor!"

"Exactly!" someone laughed loudly. "Every member of the Han family is a hopeless romantic! I heard that Han Shi has been devoted to a woman who is unconscious, neglecting his cultivation. He could never be an Immortal Emperor! As for the third son of the Han family, everyone knows that he is Han Rou, a woman divorced by the imperial family. She will never achieve anything great, nor will she be an Immortal Emperor! The youngest, Han Yun, that kid is just a spoiled brat, and he could never be an Immortal Emperor!"

"It's neither this nor that! Tell me, is it true or false that the Han family produced a Celestial Emperor?"

"The celestial phenomenon of a Celestial Emperor has appeared in the Han family; how could that be false! Countless people on Han Family Mountain have personally witnessed the celestial phenomenon of a Celestial Emperor's birth within the Han family! It's absolutely undeniable that the Han family has produced a Celestial Emperor. As for whether this Celestial Emperor is actually a member of the Han family, no one knows!"

Someone raised their cup and lamented, "Alas, it's rare for a Celestial Emperor to be born, yet we don't even know who he is!"

Some people wondered, "If it's not someone from Han Mengxiao's generation, nor from Han Yu's generation, could it be a genius from a younger generation?"

"Hahahaha!" Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this.

The person who asked the question was puzzled for a moment, then asked, "What are you laughing at?"

"Are you stupid? The third generation of the Han family has no geniuses, not even a normal one! They're all good-for-nothings!"

"That's right! You've heard about the two children who were kicked out of the Tian family, haven't you? They don't even have spiritual roots!"

"I heard that Hanyu has adopted quite a few children."

"What can those children accomplish? If they had any immortal potential, they would have been taken in by major sects long ago. Why would they wait for Han Yu to adopt them?"

The news of the Han family producing an Immortal Emperor has been circulating throughout the Immortal Realm for a long time, but no one knows who this Immortal Emperor is, and no one dares to ask the Han family members, let alone offend them. Just kidding, the Han family is no longer a small family without an Immortal Lord, but the number one family in the Immortal Realm with an Immortal Emperor!

……

Inside Yunrou Manor, Han Wuxie leaned lazily against the soft couch. When Han Xingyu and Han Tianci arrived, she simply gestured for them to sit down.

"Sister Wuxie seems to have something on her mind."

"yes."

Han Xingyu and Han Tianci began to communicate telepathically.

Han Wuxie narrowed his eyes. These two little guys were actually using telepathy in front of him. Didn't they know that Hua Qianye could hear telepathy and had already relayed their words to him?

Han Xingyu noticed that Han Wuxie's gaze had become somewhat dangerous, and only then did she realize that she had almost forgotten that Hua Qianye could spy on the contents of the sound transmission technique.

With a somewhat ingratiating smile, Han Xingyu said awkwardly, "Sister Wuxie, we're a little worried about you. Shouldn't you be happy to have reached the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm? Why do you seem more troubled than before?"

Han Wuxie sighed, knowing his two younger brothers were also concerned about him, and said with a wry smile, "Only after becoming an Immortal Emperor will you know just how far the barrier between immortals and gods truly is!"

"Sister, you're at the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm now, can't you even touch the slightest sense of divinity?" Han Tianci frowned slightly, his expression becoming more serious.

Han Wuxie nodded with a wry smile and said, "At the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm, one should be able to sense how long it will take to break through to godhood, but I can't sense anything at all."

"Sigh." Han Tianci sighed, his gaze becoming distant, and said softly, "I wonder how long Feng Wu will have to wait for me. I can't even sense any signs of breaking through to the Immortal Emperor realm."

Han Wuxie got up and walked to his side, patted him on the shoulder reassuringly, and asked, "Is there absolutely no movement from your Divine Root?"

"No." Han Tianci shook his head.

Han Wuxie nodded. If his own divine root could create a new world, then Tianci and Xingyu's should also be able to, and there should be such strange little furballs existing in the seed world, right?

Han Wuxie said, "When it's time to break through, you should be able to gain a lot by inserting your consciousness into the seed." Han Wuxie did not specify what the gains would be. She did not tell her two younger brothers about the little fur ball. She hoped that they would experience it for themselves and discover it for themselves.

Han Xingyu and Han Tianci exchanged a glance. They were puzzled as to why Han Wuxie, who had clearly broken through to the Immortal Emperor realm, suddenly emerged from seclusion at the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm instead of the early stage. They suspected that there was something mysterious about the seed.

The two were also clever enough to understand that Han Wuxie was not explaining things clearly because he wanted them to experience it for themselves, so they did not press him further.

Han Wuxie changed the subject, asking, "Tianci, how are things going with the Tian family and the Cheng family?"

"It's been stuck like this for a while," Han Tianci said with a mischievous grin. "Now that you've reached the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm, shouldn't you go out and have some fun?"

Han Wuxie frowned, not answering, but instead asking Han Xingyu, "Has Shui Tianfan made any moves?"

Han Tianci asked in confusion, "Shui Tianfan? Why are you paying attention to that person?"

Han Wuxie smiled slightly and no longer hid it, "He has a problem."

"A problem?" Han Tianci frowned. He knew his sister wouldn't jump to conclusions without concrete evidence. He asked in a low voice, "Is there a problem with 'The Moon in the Water'?"

"No, it's just Shui Tianfan alone." Han Wuxie shook his head.

Han Tianci nodded, not pressing for details about Shui Tianfan's problem. As long as Shui Zhongyue was alright, he wouldn't concern himself with the matter. Shui Tianfan was now Han Xingyu's man, and his life and death were in Han Xingyu's hands. However…

Han Tianci sighed softly, "Han Xingyu, if you can spare her, then don't kill her. Shui Zhongyue is very sentimental, and it will put me in a difficult position."

Han Xingyu pursed her lips and said, "It's because I was afraid of putting you in a difficult position that Sister Wuxie didn't tell you. When she took them in, Sister Wuxie already noticed something was wrong with him. Now that she has evidence, she's telling you." As she spoke, Han Xingyu handed the letter that Shui Tianfan had once written to Han Tianci.

Han Tianci's brows furrowed as he read the letter, and he said in a low voice, "Who exactly is behind this?"

Han Xingyu shook her head and said, "Shui Tianfan is a very good actor. Because he hadn't replied to the letter, Shui Tianfan thought it had been intercepted. Seeing that I didn't seem to be acting strangely, he assumed it wasn't me, so he's been pretending."

Han Wuxie fiddled with the ring for a moment, then chuckled, "Never mind, he can't do anything fancy inside the ring anyway. Let's just keep watching. Shall we go pay a visit to the Tian family head?"

"To the Tian family?" Han Tianci narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze filled with a deep and dangerous intensity, and asked, "With the identity of the Heavenly Star Evil Palace, or...?"

"Naturally, it's because of the Han family!" Han Wuxie raised an eyebrow and smiled. "I am Han Wuxie, you are Han Tianci, and he is Han Xingyu. We have no other identities!"

Han Tianci smiled knowingly, nodded mischievously, and instantly concealed all his cultivation.

"The Root of God ignores me and cannot transform." Han Tianci smiled bitterly.

Han Wuxie waved his hand and said, "There's no need for illusions. If we go, the Tian family patriarch won't even give us a second glance. He won't even try to see our dantian, and he won't even bother to hide our cultivation levels."

Upon hearing this, Han Tianci immediately released his hidden cultivation level again.

……

In front of the imperial palace.

The guard was slightly taken aback; he had never seen such a beautiful girl before. He glanced at her a few more times until she gave him a sidelong look, at which point he snapped out of his daze and awkwardly asked, "May I ask who you three are, and what brings you to the imperial court?"

Han Wuxie smiled politely, a smile that once again stunned the guard.

Han Wuxie coughed lightly and said in a low voice, "I am Han Wuxie, also known as Tianxie in the past. I haven't been to the Tian family for many years and have come to pay my respects to my grandfather."

"What? Miss Tianxie?" The guard was stunned. Miss Tianxie had been gone for twelve years and had never returned. He never expected her to come back now, and he never expected her to be so beautiful. In the immortal realm, no one could compare to her beauty.

"I'll go in and report right away!" The guard was clearly captivated by Han Wuxie's beauty and rushed in without asking any questions.

At the entrance of Tianba Gate, a guard announced loudly, "Master, Miss Tianxie has returned and wishes to pay you a visit."

"Miss Tianxie?" Tianba was slightly taken aback, as if he had already forgotten about this person. After a long while, he came back to his senses and said in a low voice, "The current Han Wuxie?"

"He now calls himself Han Wuxie," the guard replied.

Tianba sneered, his gaze chillingly gloomy, and said coldly, "Heh, since she's already called Han Wuxie and no longer bears the surname Tian, ​​she's no longer a member of our Tian family. Let her go back; I, the patriarch, have no time to see her."

The guard was somewhat embarrassed, but dared not say anything more. He quickly returned to the Tian family's gate and looked at Han Wuxie. He was reluctant to tell this beautiful woman that her grandfather did not acknowledge her, but he could only tell Han Wuxie what Tian Ba ​​had said.

Han Wuxie narrowed his eyes slightly, a warm smile playing on his lips. "So, because it's Han Wuxie, you won't see me?"

The guard looked at Han Wuxie with pity. He had been in the Tian family for many years and had seen this little girl before. Back when she was still Tianxie, she was just a little girl who was very cute. It was just a pity that she was a good-for-nothing, and no one dared to get too close to her for fear of offending the other members of the Tian family.

Han Wuxie looked at Han Tianci and smiled, "Tianci, in your name, pay another visit."

Han Tianci was taken aback. He was extremely reluctant to mention the name the Tian family had given him, but he still had no choice but to step forward and say in a low voice, "Tell your family head that I, Han Tianci, formerly Tian Miao, have come to visit him."

"Tianmiao? Miss Tianxie's younger brother? That child who left when he was just a month old, he's grown up now!" The guard was somewhat surprised, but quickly realized he had lost his composure. He scratched his head awkwardly, and seeing that they didn't answer, he wisely left to report.

Outside Tianba's room, a guard came to report again: "Master, Young Master Tianmiao requests an audience."

"Tian Miao?" Tian Ba ​​sneered, "Whether it's Tian Xie or Tian Miao, they're no longer members of the Tian family. They are now Han Wuxie and Han Tianci. I don't see any members of the Han family! Tell them to get as far away as possible!"

Tianba's wife happened to arrive. Upon hearing Tianba's words, she paused slightly, stopped the departing guard, and asked, "Are Tianxie and Tianmiao outside?"

The guard nodded hesitantly and said in a low voice, "The patriarch refuses to see him."

"Tell them to go to the back garden; I'll wait for them there," Tianba's wife said with a slight smile.

The guard nodded hurriedly and left quickly.

Hearing the noise outside the door, Tianba opened the door and looked at his wife with some reproach.

Tianba's wife, Xu, smiled somewhat awkwardly. "You can't stop me from seeing him. I really want to see what Tianxie looks like now, and what that child who was taken away at one month old looks like."

"Just curious?" Tianba frowned.

Madam Xu sighed softly and said, "Tianba is, after all, our grandson."

"Stop talking!" Tianba stubbornly waved his arm and said in a low voice, "It's your business if you see it, just don't bother me." After saying that, he went back into the house and slammed the door shut.

Looking at the firmly closed door, Xu sighed bitterly, hesitated to speak, and ultimately said nothing before walking towards the backyard.

Han Wuxie was slightly taken aback when he heard the guard's words.

"You mean the mistress wants to see us, but the head of the household still refuses to see us. If the mistress hadn't passed by, we would still have been turned away?"

The guard gave a simple, honest smile; he couldn't comment too much on his master's affairs.

Han Wuxie nodded knowingly and said to the guard, "Although I have been away from the Tian family for a long time, I still know the way. You don't need to lead the way; we'll go by ourselves."

The guard nodded.

Han Wuxie led Han Xingyu and Han Tianci into the Tian family.

Han Xingyu had no recollection of the month she spent at the Tian family; this was her first time entering this place.

Han Xingyu was also visiting for the first time. Looking around, she said with some disdain, "Not as good as the Han family."

Han Wuxie smiled slightly but didn't say anything.

A mocking voice rang out, "Where did this brat come from?"

Han Wuxie and the others looked over when they heard the sound. Not far away, several people were looking at them with mockery. Although those people had changed a lot, Han Wuxie could still recognize them.

Recalling twelve years ago in the Immortal Realm, when he had just entered the back mountain, a chubby boy pointed at him and burst into laughter, saying, "Haha, I never thought a good-for-nothing like you would dare to enter the back mountain. Aren't you afraid you won't be able to get out?"

This is my cousin. Although he has grown up now, he is still chubby. He has just grown from a little fat boy to a big fat boy, and he is still very annoying.

Back then, that sharp-faced girl sneered at me, saying, "Exactly! She doesn't even know her place! She's got some nerve! What a loser!"

The sharp-faced girl who scolded Han Wuxie still has a sharp face and looks like a woman. Although she is an unmarried girl, she exudes an annoying slutty aura and looks mean and acerbic. This is Wuxie's cousin.

Back then, a big-eyed girl of about six years old pouted and said to the girl with the pointed face, "Cousin, you don't know how ridiculous she is. She actually said in front of the patriarch that she was going into the mountains to find a treasure passed down through generations, and she even dared to ask the patriarch what the treasure looked like."

The six-year-old girl from back then is now an eighteen-year-old young woman. She is petite and cute with adorable big eyes, but those eyes also carry a haughty disdain for others.

Back then, the boy holding the folding fan glanced sideways at Han Wuxie and sneered, "Exactly! She's stupid to death. It's one thing to have a physique like an ordinary person, but her brain is as stupid as a pig's! No one has been able to find the heirloom treasure for thousands of years. Even the patriarch doesn't know what it looks like, and she actually dares to suggest finding the heirloom treasure!"

Now he has grown up, like a refined and elegant young gentleman, still holding that magical folding fan in his hand.

Back then, the eight- or nine-year-old square-faced boy sneered, "This good-for-nothing is only fit to pick up trash on the outer edge. He probably can't even get past the first barrier, yet he wants to find a treasured heirloom. It's like a toad trying to eat swan meat—what a joke!"

This man is now imposing and extraordinary. His square face looks upright and incorruptible, but a mocking sneer hangs on the corner of his mouth, ready to look down on others at any moment.

Back then, the four- or five-year-old boy was very handsome, but his laughter was shrill: "Haha, isn't that a perfect match of a loser and a good-for-nothing!"

The man was still very handsome, but his voice remained shrill and unpleasant. He chuckled wickedly, "Look at that woman, she's quite pretty!"

The imposing, square-faced man's eyes flickered with a hint of amazement. "Truly impressive!"

The man waving a fan looked at Han Wuxie, a hint of greed flashing in his eyes. He slowly approached Han Wuxie, Han Tianci, and Han Xingyu, and said politely, "Miss, may we ask who you are and why you are here in our Tian family? We have never seen you before."

The sharp-faced woman sneered, "That Tian Shanru gets a lecherous streak whenever he sees a pretty woman!"

Tian Shanru glanced coldly at the sharp-faced woman and retorted, "I can't compare to my third cousin, who gets all horny at the sight of a handsome man!"

"What did you say!" The pointy-faced woman glared at him angrily, while the big-eyed, cute woman pulled her back and laughed, "Cousin, don't argue with these stinky men! Look at that boy, he may only look thirteen or fourteen, but judging from his appearance, he'll definitely be a great guy when he grows up!"

Following her gaze, the woman with the pointed face looked closely at Han Tianci and was immediately drawn to his refined and scholarly demeanor. She nodded in agreement, stepped forward, and greeted him with a warm smile, "Young Master, what brings you to the Tian family?"

Han Xingyu glanced at these people and asked telepathically, "Sister Wuxie, who are they?"

Han Wuxie's lips curled into a mocking sneer as he transmitted his voice in a low voice, "My 'dear' cousins."

Han Xingyu was taken aback. Han Wuxie's telepathic message was sent to both him and Han Tianci at the same time. A hint of disdain flashed in Han Tianci's eyes. Asking him to call these people "cousin" was worse than killing him.

Han Xingyu snapped out of her daze and burst into laughter.

The woman with the pointed face noticed Han Xingyu, her gaze pausing for a moment. She then said to the woman with the large eyes, "This is the kind of girl I like. That one is too refined, this one is devilishly handsome. I like this kind of wicked and mischievous charm!"

Upon hearing this, Han Xingyu couldn't help but shudder, because the sharp-faced woman had subconsciously moved closer to him and even tried to rub her buttocks against him. Fortunately, he dodged quickly.

Han Xingyu felt a wave of disgust and leaned weakly against Han Tianci's back. Pretending to be shocked by the greatest fright in the world, she mischievously transmitted her voice weakly, "Han Tianci, your cousin is really giving me a hard time. Although I, Han Xingyu, once said that I would marry many women, I'm not someone who's blind and will take any woman. You didn't inherit this kind of bloodline, did you?"

"Pah!" Han Tianci angrily transmitted his voice, "You say someone like this is my cousin? I don't believe it!" He forcefully pushed away Han Xingyu, who was pretending to be weak, and coldly transmitted his voice, "Don't pretend with me, do you think this kind of thing can scare you?"

Han Xingyu patted her chest and said with a wry smile, "I was really scared! What a terrifying woman! Look, she's at it again!"

Because Han Tianci pushed him away, the sharp-faced woman intentionally or unintentionally moved closer to Han Xingyu, wearing a forcedly friendly smile, and said, "Little brother, where are you from, and why have you come to our Tian family?"

Han Wuxie wasn't in much better shape. The square-faced man, the man with the fan, and the good-looking man all gathered around. Finally, the fat man also came over. In their eyes, it seemed as if they were saying, "This woman is offered to us, let's split her up among ourselves."

Han Wuxie's face darkened, and when they were still a step away from him, he suddenly put on a very handsome smile and said, "Cousin, older brother, younger brother, how could you forget me? I am Tianxie, and my current name is Han Wuxie!"

The square-faced man's hand, which was about to reach out and touch the object, froze in mid-air.

The man with the fan remained stunned for a long time.

The good-looking man was the first to react, exclaiming in disbelief, "Tianxie? Han Wuxie? You're that good-for-nothing!"

Han Wuxie frowned unhappily. She thought she had forgotten that she was a good-for-nothing, but hearing the word "good-for-nothing" again still made her very unhappy.

Her gaze suddenly swept over us coldly, like a dark, bottomless ancient well.

This glance startled the man with the fan, who nearly dropped it.

The square-faced man was clearly more composed and wasn't intimidated by the gaze, but he was somewhat puzzled. Was this really the same Tianxie, that good-for-nothing, who had become arrogant and haughty under the protection of the Han family? Why did her gaze carry the coldness and hostility of someone in a superior position?

"She's Tianxie?" Both the woman with the pointed face and the woman with the big eyes were stunned.

The woman with the pointed face looked at Han Xingyu and Han Tianci, frowning as she asked, "And who are you two?"

Han Xingyu pouted and said, "I'm not a member of your Tian family, I'm just here to watch the show."

Han Tianci said coldly, "In your Tian family, I seem to have been given a name like this: Tianmiao."

"What the hell? What the hell! Why is that good-for-nothing from back then back now?!" The big-eyed woman looked at the sharp-faced woman with some confusion.

The woman with the pointed face was also bewildered, her expression darkening as she coldly and dangerously stared at Han Wuxie. "What are you doing here? All the troubles our Tian family has faced these past years are thanks to your father. How dare you come back?"

Han Tianci and Han Xingyu wanted to make a move, but Han Wuxie shook his head slightly and said with a smile, "I didn't come back to see you."

"Grandpa won't pay any attention to you!" the sharp-faced woman shouted.

Han Wuxie fiddled with the ring, while the sharp-faced woman sneered, "You're still keeping this piece of trash?"

Han Wuxie said playfully, "I'm going to see the mistress, don't block my way." Her voice suddenly turned gloomy, and she said in a low, dangerous tone, "A good dog doesn't block the way."

"What! You dare call me a dog!" The sharp-faced woman was furious and tried to pounce on him, but suddenly she couldn't move. She looked at Han Wuxie in horror. She felt a powerful divine sense locking onto her, and this powerful divine sense actually came from the other party.

Han Wuxie squinted and smiled, "What's wrong with you, cousin? Can't you even move? Since you won't give way, I'll take a detour." After saying that, she waved to Tianci and Xingyu and left in another direction.

The woman with the pointed face stood still, which puzzled the woman with the big eyes and the others.

After a long, long time, the woman with the pointed face finally let out a long sigh of relief.

"What's wrong, cousin?" the big-eyed woman asked, puzzled.

"That's not Tianxie!" The sharp-faced woman's face turned pale, and she hurriedly said, "Go see Grandpa! This woman isn't Tianxie; she's a master who infiltrated the area!" After saying that, she flew towards Tianba's residence, and the others looked at each other blankly before following her.

At this moment, Han Wuxie, Han Xingyu, and Han Tianci had already arrived in the backyard.

In the pavilion in the backyard, Xu sat alone.

Han Wuxie stepped into the pavilion and said with a slight smile, "Mistress, I am Han Wuxie."

"It's Tianxie!" Madam Xu's eyes widened in surprise. She hadn't expected that the little girl from back then would grow up to be so stunningly beautiful. Such a beauty had never been seen in the celestial realm.

Han Wuxie smiled and said, "Now I'm called Han Wuxie."

"Innocent?" Madam Xu rejected the word, sighed after a long while, looked deeply at Han Wuxie, and smiled somewhat awkwardly, "Innocent is better!"

Han Wuxie pushed Han Tianci forward a step and said, "This is my younger brother, now called Han Tianci."

"Absurd!" Madam Xu quickly shook her head, forcing a wry smile. "A gift from heaven is good, a gift from heaven is truly good!"

Han Wuxie looked at Han Xingyu and said, "This is my uncle's son, who came with us. His name is Han Xingyu."

"Is he Hanyu's son?" Madam Xu asked, somewhat puzzled. "Was he adopted?"

"No, he's my uncle's biological son." Han Wuxie smiled calmly, took a seat, and Han Xingyu and Han Tianci followed her to their seats.

Xu looked deeply at Han Wuxie and Han Tianci, and after a long while, she sighed, as if lamenting or regretting.

Han Wuxie still remembered when he placed his divine sense into the Heavenly Family and heard the matriarch say that she missed him. To be honest, he was a little surprised because in the past, she would never even look at him.

Is it because her descendants are all disappointing and disobey her that she thinks of herself and Tianci?

This is what they call "eating from one's own bowl without knowing how delicious it is elsewhere." When I was around, you were incredibly annoying, but after I left, you realized how well-behaved I was? Unfortunately, I'm not the same Tianxie I used to be. Back then, I treated you like a grandmother, which is why I tried to please you, but you never treated me like a granddaughter. Now that I have no connection with the Tian family, you've suddenly remembered me, your granddaughter!

Han Wuxie smiled and said, "We know that the Tian family and the Cheng family have been at odds these days, so we wanted to come and see the family head, but unfortunately the family head will not see us."

Madam Xu frowned slightly and said with a wry smile, "He's very busy with the Cheng family's affairs; he didn't intentionally avoid me."

A cold smile flashed in Han Wuxie's eyes. Busy? Her divine sense had already been focused on Tianba's room. Her cousin and the others were in his room right now. If she could see them, why couldn't she see me?

Seeing that Han Wuxie didn't answer, and realizing that she and her grandsons had nothing to say to each other and could only sit there in silence, she tried to make conversation by asking, "How is your mother?"

Han Wuxie nodded and said with a faint smile, "Very good."

"Hmm, the head of the Han family, is that alright too?" she asked.

Han Wuxie nodded and said calmly, "Thank you for your concern, Madam Tian. My grandfather is also doing well."

Hearing her address the head of the Han family as "maternal grandfather" while calling herself the mistress of the Tian family, Xu felt a sense of distance in her words. Her smile was somewhat forced as she said, "I've heard that the Han family has produced a Celestial Emperor. Is that true?"

Han Wuxie narrowed his eyes and smiled coldly. So, seeing him wasn't because he missed him, but just to get information out of him.

Han Wuxie shook his head and said, "Grandpa didn't say, and I didn't ask either."

Madam Xu nodded, somewhat understanding. Indeed, she was just a good-for-nothing. How could the head of the Han family tell her a secret? She had been overthinking things and even wanted to get information out of her. That was wishful thinking.

"Besides seeing the head of the family, is there anything else you've come for this time?" Madam Xu asked.

Han Wuxie smiled and said, "We've come here only to see the patriarch. After all, we also have the blood of the imperial family. I wanted to ask him if he needs our help."

"You'll help?" Madam Xu was slightly taken aback, then asked hopefully, "Did the Han family head send you here to inquire whether you'd like to help us?"

Han Wuxie and Han Tianci exchanged a glance. Han Wuxie smiled slightly and said, "It wasn't our grandfather who sent us. He's a member of the Han family, and whether he helps the Tian family or not is none of our business. We have the blood of the Tian family flowing through our veins. What I'm saying is that Tianci and I are simply asking if you need our help?"

"What a joke! What can you possibly help us with!" a mocking, low voice rang out.

Han Wuxie looked over upon hearing the voice and saw Tian Ba, the head of the Tian family, followed by a woman with a pointed face and others.

It was obvious that the woman with the pointed face suspected that he was not Han Wuxie. Because of the pressure he exerted on her consciousness, she felt that she was not Han Wuxie. Therefore, Tianba was worried that he, who might not be Han Wuxie, would harm his wife, which is why he came here.

On the way here, Tianba deliberately spied on him from a distance with his divine sense. Fortunately, his divine root was still obedient and he remained hidden. He also concealed all his cultivation. In Tianba's eyes, the sharp-faced woman was being suspicious. He was indeed Han Wuxie, indeed the good-for-nothing from back then. The good-for-nothing's offer to help him was indeed a joke.

Madam Xu frowned and said, "Patriarch, you—"

With a wave of his hand, Tianba silenced Madam Xu. He sat down beside her, coldly watching the woman and the two boys before him.

Han Wuxie was indeed very handsome, which surprised him a little, but he quickly came to terms with it. His son attracted so many women, so how could his daughter be ugly? Besides, Han Rou was a well-known beauty in the immortal realm.

Han Wuxie remained calm and nodded to Tianba, saying, "Patriarch."

"Heh." Tianba sneered.

Han Tianci clenched his fists tightly. Was this the attitude his sister had been living with until she was five years old?

Han Wuxie glanced at Han Tianci, signaling him to calm down.

Han Wuxie chuckled and said, "My brother and I haven't been back to the Tian family for twelve years. If it weren't for the Tian family's current predicament, we wouldn't have come back. We're back this time because we have the blood of the Tian family in our veins and don't want to see the Tian family perish. We must first help the family head protect the Tian family."

"Heh!" Tianba sneered, looking at Han Wuxie with disdain, and mocked, "Saying such things without considering your own abilities? Under Old Man Han's protection, have you become a fool?"

This direct mockery drew laughter from the woman with the pointed face and the others.

Han Wuxie's expression remained calm as he smiled indifferently, "Under my maternal grandfather's protection, I did indeed live better than I did in the Tian family. I shouldn't have come; I know it's pointless. But having grown up in the Tian family and having their blood, I felt I should ask. I did come today and asked you, but you, the family head, refused. You don't need my help. Remember that!"

After saying that, Han Wuxie stood up, bowed politely to Madam Xu, and said with a smile, "Since the patriarch does not need my help, then I will take my brothers back."

Tianba scoffed, "You overestimating fool! Get lost!"

Upon hearing this, Xu thought Han Wuxie's expression would be somewhat unpleasant, but she saw that the child was still smiling calmly, his eyes seemed to be mocking. Why was the child not angry when he was said that, and there was still mockery in his eyes? What kind of confidence gave rise to such mockery?

Han Tianci said softly, "Sister, are we just going back like this?"

Upon hearing this, Tianba sneered before Han Wuxie could speak, "Get out! The Tian family doesn't welcome you. Since you've already taken the Han surname, you're no longer members of the Tian family. From now on, anyone who dares to bring you in without my permission will be severely punished!" He coldly glanced at Xu Shi, who lowered her head but transmitted her voice, "The Han family has produced a Celestial Emperor. Won't driving them away like this anger Old Man Han? If they help us, Old Man Han should ask a Celestial Emperor for help!"

Tianba glared at Xu Shi fiercely, then spoke directly without using telepathy: "Whether the Han family has an Immortal Emperor or not is none of our business. If they have one and are hiding him, it means there's something fishy going on, and it's probably fake! They're not from the Tian family, yet they trespass on our property. If I don't drive them away, how can I be the head of the Tian family? We have the Heavenly Star Evil Palace to help us; we don't need to win over the Han family!"

Upon hearing this, Han Xingyu chuckled to herself: "Patriarch of the Tian family, just wait and see what happens!"

Han Tianci's lips curled into a mocking smile as he coldly glanced at Tianba: "You said yourself today that you didn't need our help! Sister Wuxie should retract her order to have the Heavenly Star Evil Palace help you!"

Han Wuxie narrowed her icy, piercing eyes. Her purpose in coming here today was to give the Tian family patriarch one last chance, but he gave up! Very well, he doesn't need her help now, so the Tianxing Evil Palace no longer needs to help him!

---Aside---

P.S.: The Tian family head knows that Han Wuxie's real purpose in coming today is to ask whether the Tianxing Evil Palace will continue to help him. Surely he wouldn't refuse so outright, right? He keeps saying that with the Tianxing Evil Palace's help, there's no need to win over the Han family! Just wait and see!
