Although Wan Li Cang was grateful, he still asked suspiciously, "Thank you for saving my life, senior. However, there are some things I don't understand and would like to ask you. I hope you won't mind if I say too much; I'm just curious. You mentioned earlier that you've seen Xiao Xie'er before? Is it because of Xiao Xie'er that you came to save us? How do you know Xiao Xie'er, and how did you know we were being attacked here?"

Han Wuxie lowered her eyes uncomfortably. To the other person, it looked like a memory, but only Han Wuxie knew that it was too difficult to lie through one's teeth, so she lowered her eyelids.

Hana Chiba, Hana Chiba, why did you say that?! How am I supposed to cover this up now?!

She felt like crying but had no tears left. Her mother had always taught her not to lie, but after Hua Qianye appeared, she felt like she was living in lies every day and was almost becoming a liar herself.

Her little head spun rapidly, and suddenly a brilliant idea struck her. A wicked smile curled at the corner of her lips as she feigned nonchalance, saying, "Well, it was quite by chance. I was strolling down the street when I saw a little girl being falsely accused of stealing, so I stepped in to help. That girl is Xiao Xie'er. She has no spiritual roots, no immortal roots, and is from a family like the Tian family, which is quite pitiful. So, I would occasionally sneak into the Tian family to check on her. But a few days ago, I learned that she had come to the Han family, so I came to see her. However, I didn't expect to see this despicable person trying to steal her brother's treasure. After learning about this despicable person's entire plan, I came to rescue you."

"His plan?" A trace of pain flashed in Han Mengxiao's eyes. He had actually guessed that this matter might be related to Ji Yi, but he never expected that it was all his plan.

Wan Li Cang coldly looked at Ji Yi, whose face was deathly pale. He now thought that the old man with the aura of an immortal lord was actually an immortal venerable, and dared not speak at all.

He knew he couldn't escape this calamity today. The blame lay with that annoying little girl and those two good-for-nothing siblings. The brother actually got the Hongbao he wanted, while the sister was the real culprit behind the failure of this plan!

Han Mengxiao's voice was slightly hoarse and trembling as he asked, "Yi'er, is what Senior said true? It's not that I don't believe Senior, but Father believes you more than Senior. As long as you say it's not true, I will never wrong you!"

"Hehehe..." Ji Yi laughed instead of answering, "Han Mengxiao, you old thing, how long are you going to keep up this act?"

With a "smack," Ji Yi's already swollen face received another slap.

Han Wuxie, now in the form of an old man, possessed the same strength as his burly physique. His calloused hands struck Ji Yi's delicate face, leaving an immediate handprint.

"I despise such despicable and insolent people the most. He is, after all, your godfather, and you still don't know how to repent, yet you still dare to speak so arrogantly here!"

Seeing the old man's anger, Wan Licang couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake his head, saying, "Senior, you don't know this, but his father was once my brother's brother, and he even risked his life to save my brother back then. My brother has always spoiled this child since he was a child, and even if he knew he was wrong, he couldn't bear to punish him. In fact, we have always known that this child has bad intentions, including the murder of Han Shi. We all know that it was related to him, but my brother has never wanted to expose this."

"What? You know..." Ji Yi's body stiffened slightly.

Han Shi stepped forward, his gaze icy and cold, and said calmly, "You should know very well why I mistakenly entered the Ice Demon Manor ten years ago, was poisoned by a strange poison, and have been plagued by illness ever since. You couldn't stand that I was better than you in every way, so you kidnapped her and took her to the Ice Demon Manor. I know you deliberately wanted to frame me, but even knowing it was a deception, I still went ahead with it without any regrets. The mistake was that you shouldn't have put her on the ice bed in the Ice Demon Manor, which is why I still can't wake her up."

"I know everything you've done, and I've told Father about it. Father knows too, but he's been pretending not to know anything because he thinks your father saved him. I also want to find a way to save her, so I don't want to take revenge before she wakes up. Even if I kill you, she won't wake up, and it will only make Father sad. So I've been pretending not to know that you're the one who harmed me."

"Haha, so you all knew all along! I thought I had fooled everyone, but it turns out I was the one who was truly fooled!" Ji Yi laughed wildly.

Han Mengxiao looked at him with pity and said in a bitter voice, "Yi'er, turn back now. Don't do anything wrong again. If your father knew how many mistakes you've made, he would be heartbroken! As long as you tell us where Yun'er is, I promise I won't let them kill you. I will spare your life as repayment for the life your father saved me back then."

"Heh!" Ji Yi's gaze suddenly turned sinister as she retreated step by step, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "My father saved you back then. Everything you have is thanks to him risking his life to save you, yet you treat me so unfairly! You gave me the Cold Jade Gale Blade, the Cold Stone Life-Saving Talisman, and what you gave Han Yun—I don't know, but his rapid advancement proves that what you gave him must have been a treasure as well. Now, Hong Bao has been given to that good-for-nothing grandson! And what have you given me?"

Han Mengxiao was about to say something when Wan Licang stepped forward and preemptively said, "If you want to blame someone, blame me! The Gale Blade is mine. I wanted to give it to Yu'er because only he can wield it. The blade recognizes its master, and only a man of strong character and righteous spirit is worthy of it. You are a hypocrite and do not deserve it at all!"

"I also crafted the life-saving talisman because I knew that Shi'er's trip to Ice Demon Manor was a trap. That's why I gave him the talisman. If you hadn't set this trap, how could so many things have happened? As for Han Yun, my elder brother and I can swear that we haven't given him anything. I can't speak openly about the Hongbao, but I can tell you one thing: Tianci is more qualified than anyone else to receive the Hongbao. He's not the good-for-nothing you make him out to be."

"Excuses! All excuses! I don't believe them!" Ji Yi shook her head violently and shouted angrily, "Even if you won't give them anything, you should at least give me the best cultivation treasures and medicinal herbs!"

"Do you think your cultivation pills, techniques, or weapons are inferior to others? Go ask anyone, at your age, to reach the Golden Immortal level, based on your immortal root grade, is it really all thanks to your own efforts?" Wan Li Cang mocked.

"No, I don't care, I'm not wrong! Even if I am wrong, I will go all the way and never turn back! I will never tell you where Han Yun is. If you can't find him in three days, he will die without a burial place! Hahahaha..." With his loud laughter, he retreated step by step to the edge of the island, and suddenly leaped into the Boundless Sea.

Wanlicang wanted to give chase, but Han Mengxiao stopped him, saying, "Forget it, don't chase him. I raised that child; I know his habits better than anyone. Even if he dies, he won't admit his mistake. Forcing him will only lead to a fight to the death. Before he left, he said Yun'er had three days left, which means he's telling us Yun'er isn't dead, and he won't harm her within those three days, but he won't tell us where she is. The most important thing now is to find Yun'er, and... Yu'er. Let him live today; consider it repaying his father's life. If we meet again, we'll be strangers. If he harms the Han family again, I will kill him with my own hands!"

"Senior, would you be willing to help us find Han Yun and Han Yu? Once we find them, we can go back to the Han family together and see Xiao Xie'er, shall we?" Wan Li Cang knew that the other party liked Xiao Xie'er, so he naturally used Xiao Xie'er as a way to ask for a favor, but he put it more tactfully.

Han Wuxie frowned in thought. Although she was very worried about her eldest and youngest uncles, if they went back together without her and her younger brother, wouldn't that cause a huge mess?

Han Wuxie waved his hand and said, "Although we have wiped out the Demon Lord and the others, I have just been injured and it is inconvenient for me to continue the search with you. I will find time to look for Xiaoxie'er later. Farewell."

Han Wuxie turned and left, with two blue leaves given to her by Hua Qianye stuck to the soles of her feet. To everyone else, it looked like she had flown away using magic, but in reality, she had left using the talisman that Hua Qianye had left on the leaves.
