Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After the elders of Greenwave Han Mansion on Han Xin’s side gathered, they went to see the Mansion Master of Greenwave Han Mansion after half an hour.
The Mansion Master of Greenwave Han Mansion was a well-built middle-aged man. His face was jade-like, and he wore a silver robe. His dignified aura as he stood there emitted a tremendous pressure.
Even the elders like Han Ke felt his eminence when they stood in front of him. For a moment, none of them dared to breathe too heavily.
The Mansion Master of Greenwave Han Mansion, Han Zheng Tian, glanced at Han Ke and the others coldly before he asked, “Elders, what brought all of you here?”
At this moment, Han Ke and the others finally regained their senses.
Han Ke was the first to step forward and said, “Lord Mansion Master, since the Young Mansion Master has proposed marriage to the Eldest Miss…”
“Why? Did all of you come to persuade me to agree to the marriage?” Han Zheng Tian sneered.
“Lord Mansion Master, this is not the reason we’re here this time,” Han Ke said. His heart was filled with disdain.
This marriage was no longer a matter that Han Zheng Tian could decide on alone even if Han Xue Nai was his daughter. The Rising Sky Mansion had already confirmed the marriage. Moreover, they had also set the date and sent out invitations to many honorable guests.
The Rising Sky Mansion did not think the Greenwave Han Mansion would reject this proposal nor did they think the Greenwave Han Mansion would dare to reject it.
Han Ke thought the same.
This marriage was not something Han Zheng Tian could change. Unless the people from Rising Sky Mansion broke their promise, the Eldest Miss of Greenwave Han Mansion would have to marry the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion.
“This is not the reason you’re here?” Han Zheng Tian was curious.
“Lord Mansion Master, there’s a stranger staying in the Eldest Miss’ mansion recently. The young man has been staying there for a month… We’re afraid this matter will affect Eldest Miss’ reputation, that’s why we came here today to ask Lord Mansion Master to persuade Young Miss to ask the young man to leave her mansion and arrange another place for him to stay in,” Han Ke said without beating around the bush.
“Hm?” When Han Ke finished speaking, Han Zheng Tian was stunned. He was not aware there was a strange young man living in his daughter’s mansion.
However, after hearing Han Ke’s words, he sneered. “I know my daughter very well. As for her reputation, I believe in my daughter. The truth will speak for itself!”
“All of you want me to persuade her to ask her friend to leave because you’re worried the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion will feel displeased, right?” Han Zheng Tian said as his sneer widened.
If it was before, he would have slapped Han Ke and the others for speaking about his daughter in such a way.
However, currently, the Greenwave Han Mansion was in a precarious situation, he did not dare to act recklessly even though he was the Mansion Master.
Han Ke and the others did not say anything, but their expressions spoke for them.
“I’ll repeat it again… Although the Young Mansion Master of the Rising Sky Mansion came to Greenwave Han Mansion to propose marriage, I haven’t promised him anything. As a father, I have the right to choose my son-in-law!” Han Zheng Tian glared at them like an angry guardian. As his eyes swept past Han Ke and the others, they all felt the pressure increasing.
“Scram!” Han Zheng Tian shouted as the air stirred and became distorted.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
…
At the same time, a rolling energy came out from Han Zheng Tian’s mouth and shrouded Han Ke and the others in just a blink of an eye, causing them to stagger a few steps backward.
Han Ke and the others’ expressions changed multiple times. However, in the end, they left without saying a word.
They had completed what they came to do. As for Han Zheng Tian’s next course of action, it was not something they could control.
“Han Xin!” Han Zheng Tian’s eyes gleamed coldly as though he wanted to devour someone.
Previously, Han Xin was the one who received the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion when he came to propose. Moreover, Han Xin was the one who had agreed to their request.
After learning about the matter, he went to look for Han Xin immediately. He managed to injure Han Xin during the battle because he was slightly stronger than him.
At that time, almost 80% of the high-ranking officials in Greenwave Han Mansion had sided with Han Xin and supported his decision. Due to this reason, he could not attack Han Xin again.
He was angry at Han Xin for acting on his own accord since he knew his daughter’s fate was connected to the fate of the Greenwave Han Mansion. If his daughter refused to get married, it would probably bring disaster to the Greenwave Han Mansion. However, if his daughter chose to get married, her life would be destroyed. As her father, he would live the rest of his life in regret for not being able to protect his own daughter.
Due to Han Xin’s action and the behavior of nearly 80% of the high-ranking officials of Greenwave Han Mansion, he made a decision then. He would not allow his daughter’s happiness to be ruined. He wanted his daughter to run away!
As for the disaster that Greenwave Han Mansion would face, he would take responsibility for it as the Mansion Master. He did not think he would survive once his daughter had left. Nevertheless, he would still forfeit his life for his daughter’s sake!
However, it did not cross his mind that his precious daughter would refuse to leave. For his sake, his daughter could also give up everything, including her happiness.
Ever since then, he had been worried, trying to think of a countermeasure. No matter what, he would not let his daughter live a life in h.e.l.l.
He had long heard about the character of the Young Mansion Master of the Rising Sky Mansion. If his daughter married him, her life would be ruined.
‘It seems like that’s the only way…’ Han Zheng Tian thought to himself. He meant to kill the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion. He believed it would be easy considering his strength.
‘If he dies, the Rising Sky Mansion will, naturally, cancel the marriage. However, there’s a lot I need to prepare for if I’m going to kill him without leaving a trace that leads back to the Greenwave Han Mansion,’ Han Zheng Tian thought to himself.
“A strange young man is living in Xue Nai’s mansion? Not everyone is allowed to enter her mansion, let alone stay there… Who’s that young man?” Driven by his curiosity, Han Zheng Tian went over to Xue Nai’s mansion.
“Father.”
Han Xue Nai did not seem surprised by Han Zheng Tian’s presence. “Han Ke and the others went to see you?”
“Girl, you’re really smart. It seems like before they came to see me, they’ve already come to you.” Affection could be seen in Han Zheng Tian’s eyes when he looked at his daughter. He figured out Han Ke and the others must have been rejected by his daughter.
“Father, you didn’t come here to persuade me on this matter, right?” Han Xue Nai chided. However, she regretted her words as soon as she was done speaking.
It was impossible for her father to do that. He was even willing to sacrifice his life for her, how could he come here to persuade her to ask Brother Ling Tian to leave just because of Han Ke’s words?
“You…” Han Zheng Tian shook his head. Naturally, he knew that his daughter often spoke rashly so he did not mind it.
“Father, I’m sorry.” Han Xue Nai took the initiative and apologized.
“We’re father and daughter, you don’t have to apologize… However, I’m still curious. Who’s staying in my precious daughter’s mansion? As far as I know, this is the first young man who has ever stayed in your mansion. Moreover, he has even stayed for a month now,” Han Zheng Tian said as his eyes gleamed with curiosity.
“Father, he’s the Brother Ling Tian I’ve mentioned before,” Han Xue Nai said with a smile.
“Brother Ling Tian? The one you mentioned previously… The young talent from the Mortal Continent, Duan Ling Tian?” Han Zheng Tian said. He was slightly taken aback.
“Yes, it’s him.” Han Xue Nai nodded.
“But didn’t he disappear after leaving the Moon Illumination Sect? How did he appear here?” Han Zheng Tian knew a little about Duan Ling Tian. He knew he was a talented person who rose to the top in the Mortal Continent before he decided to venture out. He made his way to the Dao Martial Saint Land after leaving the Mortal Continent. In fact, he was very interested in Duan Ling Tian. He had even thought about asking him to join the Greenwave Han Mansion. Unfortunately, his daughter did not bring him back the last time she went out.
“Father, promise me, no matter what happens, you won’t make things difficult for Brother Ling Tian,” Han Xue Nai said to Han Zheng Tian as her expression turned solemn.
“Girl, why are you being so serious?” Han Zheng Tian shook his head and smiled.
“Father, I won’t tell you if you don’t promise me,” Han Xue Nai said solemnly.
It was the first time Han Zheng Tian had seen his daughter so serious. His smile faded as he nodded. “Alright, I promise you. No matter what happens, I won’t make things difficult for your Brother Ling Tian.”
“You can’t take away any of his possession as well!” Han Xue Nai added.
“Girl, you are showing less and less respect for your elders… What would someone from the Mortal Continent have that I, the Mansion Master of Greenwave Han Mansion, would want?” Han Zheng Tian shook his head helplessly.
“You must promise me!” Han Xue Nai remained as solemn as ever.
“Alright, I promise you that I won’t take away any of your Brother Ling Tian’s possession… Okay?” Although Han Zheng Tian’s voice contained a hint of helplessness, his gaze toward Han Xue Nai was filled with love.
Han Xue Nai sighed in relief when Han Zheng Tian gave his promise. Then, she told him about Duan Ling Tian and the Devilseal Tablet.
“The Devilseal Tablet?!” Han Zheng Tian’s eyes widened immediately.
Although Han Zheng Tian was surprised by the other things mentioned by his daughter, it was all overshadowed by the Devilseal Tablet.
