The room fell silent again after Zhang Wei’s confession.Wang Ying still covered her mouth, her eyes wide as if she didn’t know whether to believe it or not. After a few moments, she finally lowered her hand slowly.“But… Manager Zhang,” she said in a trembling voice, “didn’t you just say that Han Nian is a good person?”She shook her head faintly, clearly struggling to accept the reality.“A good person wouldn’t kill that many people… that’s not normal. And… I also heard a rumor… that all of their heads were shattered…” her voice grew quieter, her face turning pale. “That’s truly cruel…”Even Su Mei, who was usually calm, looked stunned. She stared at the table in front of her, as if trying to imagine the scene being described.“It’s hard to believe…” she murmured softly. “That ordinary-looking person… could kill three hundred people in a single day…”She recalled Han Nian’s face again—handsome, relaxed, even a little lazy. There wasn’t a single expression that suggested he was someo

Su Mei was the first to fully open her eyes, feeling the energy within her body now flowing steadily and far stronger than before.She turned her head and looked at Han Nian.For a few seconds, she remained silent, as if making sure what had just happened was truly real. Then, in a soft voice, she said,“Thank you.”A faint smile appeared on her lips.It wasn’t a formal or polite smile—it was a sincere one, born from relief and gratitude.Han Nian was slightly taken aback.Even Wang Ying, who sat beside Su Mei, stared at her friend with wide eyes.Su Mei… smiled?Since they had known each other, Wang Ying had almost never seen the girl smile at any man. Su Mei had always kept her distance—cold and rarely showing emotion.Yet now, she was smiling at Han Nian—and that made Wang Ying feel as if the world had suddenly become a little unreasonable.Han Nian cleared his throat softly and looked away.“There’s no need to go that far,” he said casually, though he was clearly still a little su

Han Nian walked a few steps behind Su Mei and Wang Ying, as usual letting them walk ahead without saying much.His eyes briefly fell on the two figures in front of him. Their slightly tight clothing made the curves of their full chests sway naturally and beautifully.He quickly looked away so his thoughts wouldn’t become distracted, then cleared his throat softly.After a moment, he finally asked,“So… what will you two do next?”Su Mei stopped walking. Wang Ying stopped as well.Su Mei turned her head slightly and answered in her usual calm tone,“We will return to the sect.”There was no hesitation in her voice. Their purpose in coming to the city had been fulfilled, and their cultivation breakthrough had succeeded. There was no longer any reason to stay.Han Nian nodded slowly.“I see…”He raised his hand slightly in farewell.“In that case, it seems better for us to part here. Goodbye.”Without waiting for a reply, he immediately turned around and walked away with quick steps, as

Dawn arrived as usual, illuminating the earth faithfully as if it had never grown tired of repeating the same duty every single day.Sunlight slipped through the window and fell across Han Nian’s face, who had already been awake for some time.He didn’t linger.Today… he was going home.Han Nian stood up, straightened his clothes, and stepped out of his room toward Zhang Wei’s quarters.Zhang Wei, who was in the middle of checking the account books, immediately rose to his feet when he saw him.“Young Master Han, you’re already awake,” he said with a respectful smile.“I’ll be leaving today,” Han Nian replied briefly. “I just came to say goodbye.”Zhang Wei paused for a moment, then nodded.“The road outside the city is not always safe. Please be careful on your journey,” he said sincerely. “I will also manage this restaurant as best as I can. With the reputation it has now, the income will surely increase.”Han Nian nodded lightly.Suddenly, he took out two Blood Pearl Milk Pills fro

“Argh—!”The man whom Han Nian had been choking screamed in pain, his hands clawing at the air, his face turning a purplish red.Seeing his condition, Lin Yue immediately ran over.“Han Nian, let him go! If this continues, he’ll die!” she cried out in panic.Han Nian stared at the man with cold eyes for a few seconds before slowly loosening his grip.The man’s body fell to the ground with a heavy thud.He coughed violently, trying to gulp down as much air as possible as if he had just surfaced from the bottom of the sea. His neck was red, with clear finger marks imprinted on it.Han Nian’s sharp gaze made him tremble.“I-I… I’ll tell you everything I know…” he stammered.“Quickly,” Han Nian replied curtly.The man swallowed hard.“Around two months ago… the Han Clan was almost wiped out,” he said, still gasping for breath. “We only heard rumors… but many people said the attack was sudden and extremely brutal.”Han Nian said nothing more.He turned around and walked away with Lin Yue.
