Han Wuxie took Han Tianci in her arms. The little boy became much more well-behaved once he was in his sister's arms. He pouted his pink lips, his drool glistening, and tears still clung to his face, looking both pitiful and adorable.

Wu Xie gently wiped away her younger brother's tears, took a strand of her own hair and placed it in his hand. The little guy loved to tug at his own hair, as if he would run away if she let go. So when he tugged at his own hair, it was when he felt most secure, and naturally he stopped crying.

While Wu Xie was comforting his younger brother, Elder Zuo had already transmitted a detailed account to Elder You of how Wu Xie had broken through his divine sense by making strange movements, and how Wu Xie had discovered his identity.

The Right Elder frowned slightly and transmitted his voice, "Now that she knows you are a secret guard and has already made such a big mistake, she must not reveal that I am another secret guard."

Elder Zuo nodded. He was deeply frustrated. He had successfully concealed his identity for over a hundred years, facing countless cunning old foxes without ever revealing it. Yet today, he had been caught off guard, his identity exposed by a five-year-old child, using the excuse of not having money to buy new shoes—an excuse he wished he could disappear into the ground.

Seeing that the little guy had stopped crying, the Right Elder breathed a sigh of relief and joked, "I am the Right Elder of the Han family. The patriarch sent me to protect Young Master Tianci, but I didn't expect him to dislike me so much. He cries as soon as he sees me. Fortunately, Miss Wuxie has a solution, otherwise I would have a real headache."

Hua Qianye didn't emerge from the ring, but he observed everything. Just as he was about to tell Wu Xie that this Right Elder was another secret guard, Han Wu Xie spoke first: "Right Elder, I know you were the secret guard from that day!"

Hua Qianye narrowed her eyes slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in them. How did this little girl know?

"Secret Guards?" The Right Elder's smile remained gentle, but a glint of light flashed deep within his eyes. He shook his head and said, "I don't understand why Miss Wuxie says that?"

"You don't want to admit it?" Wu Xie blinked her big eyes and tilted her head. Little Tianci in her arms also tilted his head. The two children looked like innocent little cuties.

Elder Zuo dared not treat Wu Xie as an ignorant little cutie at all. He was secretly worried for his elder brother. It was one thing for him to have made a mistake, but he really didn't know where his elder brother had made a mistake that this little girl had noticed.

"Miss Wuxie, I am Elder You. I don't understand what you mean by 'secret guards'." Elder You's expression remained calm, without any ripples. He would never admit it without a definite suspicion; even the slightest possibility that this little girl was just guessing was not something he wanted to believe.

"It seems Elder Right won't admit it unless I make it clear." Wu Xie smiled slyly, narrowing his eyes. "That day, when Grandfather summoned you and gave you instructions, one of you answered, 'Yes, Patriarch!' Although it was only three words, I'm certain it was you! Although my aptitude is poor, my ears are exceptionally sharp. I can clearly distinguish any sound; nothing escapes my ears. Once I've heard it, I won't forget it, and I definitely won't mistake it!"

The right elder slightly curled the corners of his mouth, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.

As a bodyguard, he had never made a sound in front of others before, but on that day, under the orders of the patriarch, he had no choice but to obey and answer.

Unexpectedly, the child recognized her when she revealed her voice to outsiders for the first time in many years. She had already felt that the child might recognize her because of her voice, but she still held a glimmer of hope. After all, it was only three words, and she was only five years old. How could she possibly remember the difference in her voice? But the child still recognized her.

Hua Qianye, inside the ring, narrowed her enchanting eyes slightly, thinking to herself: Voice? With such a keen sensitivity to sound, could her talent be related to voice?

Hua Qianye had previously thought that since Han Tianci possessed talent, how could his older sister Han Wuxie, who also lacked spiritual and immortal roots, not have talent? It's just that talent is always revealed unintentionally, and deliberately searching for it is a difficult task. Now, she has finally discovered a trace of her talent.

"Miss Wuxie is indeed exceptionally intelligent. No wonder Brother Zuo praised you like a little genius when he transmitted his voice just now." Elder Right showed no embarrassment or awkwardness at having his identity exposed. He remained calm and smiled, "Brother Zuo described Miss Wuxie's training movements to me earlier. If I'm not mistaken, it should be the horse stance of the mortal martial arts world, right?"

"How did you know?" Han Wuxie frowned. Hua Qianye had clearly said that very few people in the Immortal Realm would know this, unless they were ascensions. Could this person have ascended from the mortal realm?

"To be honest, Miss Wuxie, I am not a native of the Immortal Realm. I ascended from the mortal realm. Later, I learned that the ancestors of the Han family were also ascendants, so I went to the Han family."

"So you ascended here. Do you know what the mortal realm is like?" Wu Xie's eyes widened, looking like a curious child.

Seeing the little girl suddenly transform from a wise person who had just discovered his identity into an innocent and curious child, even Elder You, who was known for his strong tolerance, was momentarily stunned.

"It's been...too long, probably over 130 years. I was so glorious in the mortal realm, but I never knew that I would be so insignificant after ascending to immortality." The Right Elder's gaze turned deep as he looked into the distance, reminiscing about the distant past.

"The mortal realm is divided into three continents. First, mortals with spiritual roots are discovered by cultivators and brought to the cultivation continent, which is full of spiritual energy. They are chosen by heaven and have the opportunity to enter the immortal realm. Second, there are mortals without spiritual roots who are content with being ordinary. They form a kingdom order, with commoners, royalty, and so on. Third, there are those without spiritual roots who are unwilling to be ordinary. Even if heaven has not chosen them or given them spiritual roots, they still want to defy the heavens and ascend to the immortal realm to obtain eternal life. That is the martial arts world, where they have some martial arts they have comprehended on their own. Because they have no spiritual roots, they can only improve through their own comprehension. It is said that some have even reached the Martial Venerable level, but no one has ever stepped beyond the Martial Venerable level, nor has anyone truly succeeded in defying the heavens and cultivating into an immortal with a mortal body without spiritual roots."

Wu Xie nodded knowingly; this was not much different from what Hua Qianye had told him.

"However, I have already ascended to the Immortal Realm for 130 years. For the Immortal Realm, more than 100 years will not bring any major changes, but for the mortal realm, there may be significant changes. It is said that one year in the Immortal Realm is equivalent to ten years in the mortal realm, or even longer. No one knows the exact time difference, since the path to the mortal realm has been destroyed, and immortals cannot descend, so naturally, no one can be certain how long this time difference is. Regardless of whether it is a ten-year difference, if it is ten years, in the 130 years I have been in the Immortal Realm, more than 1,300 years have passed in the mortal realm. There must have been earth-shattering changes in between."

The Right Elder sighed, "In the past, I reigned supreme in the mortal realm, and my name, Xie Potian, struck fear into the hearts of all. But now, in the Immortal Realm, I am merely an elder of your Han family. The gap between the mortal and immortal realms must be more than ten years, alas!" His gaze gradually became unfocused. He had spent one hundred and thirty years in the Immortal Realm, and if this child hadn't asked about the mortal realm today, he would have almost forgotten who he was and had no recollection of those glorious days.

At the same time, a transparent shadow slipped through the sight of the servants and maids and entered the courtyard where the Han family patriarch lived in Han Family Mountain.

Upon entering the Han family patriarch's room, a transparent figure appeared, dressed in flowing white robes, exuding extraordinary temperament, with a refined and scholarly appearance, resembling a humble gentleman. In his hand, he held a green bead.

This person seemed to have known all along that the Han family head was not present. Instead of hiding, he entered the room openly and started rummaging through things. The green bead in his hand emitted a faint green light from time to time, as if it were sensing something.

He searched the entire room, his gaze growing increasingly cold and sharp. Clearly, he hadn't found what he was looking for. He muttered to himself in a low voice, "Strange. He clearly didn't have it on him. According to the bead's indication, Hongbao should be at Han Family Mountain. Why isn't it here?"
