Compared to those families whose descendants flourished, the Han Family, by their generation, had only her and Han Tianci.
Han Tianci bore the weight of the Han Family's rise and fall and its legacy; he could not afford even the slightest mishap.
Bringing him out this time took a great deal of courage from Yun Jinnian.
Although she knew her maternal grandfather would send people to protect them in secret, she never imagined how many. Now that Han Zhong had mentioned it, Yun Jinnian realized that there were at least more than a hundred, perhaps even many more.
Han Tianci didn't quite understand and looked towards Yun Jinnian.
Yun Jinnian gave him a slight smile, "Just listen to Uncle Zhong, and you'll be fine!"
"I'll listen to my sister!" said Han Tianci as he walked over to Yun Jinnian's side, staying close to her.
He liked Yun Jinnian.
Because Yun Jinnian embodied all his fantasies about a mother and a sister.
Towards his mother, Mrs. Han, he felt respect; he could act spoiled and throw tantrums with Yun Jinnian but wouldn't do the same with Mrs. Han.
Perhaps because he'd been neglected for so many years, he harbored some resentment towards Mrs. Han.
And because Yun Jinnian had suffered even more, he felt pity for her in his heart and wanted to treat her even better.
Yun Jinnian nodded in agreement.
She and Han Tianci went aside to read books, and she would occasionally explain some of the medical principles he didn't understand.
Yun Jinnian's voice was soft and gentle, like a spring breeze, warm and comforting.
Han Xuzi was very strict when teaching, and Han Tianci had some resistance to it, but when Yun Jinnian taught him, he always studied very diligently and willingly.
Azure Dragon Sect
Sun Wang found it hard to believe, "What did you say?"
"A fatal blow without a chance to strike back, Sect Master, we can't just sit and wait for death, we must fight back, otherwise...!"
Listening to his subordinate's report, Sun Wang's brows were tightly furrowed.
He had a feeling that this situation would not end well. Even if he were willing to stop, those unknown assailants might not, and since that was the case, no one could blame him for being ruthless.
After a moment of deep thought, Sun Wang said, "Get ready. Tonight, I will personally make the visit!"
"Yes!"
The subordinate responded respectfully and withdrew. After exiting the door, his expression was still respectful, but he let out a slight cold laugh.
That laugh came quickly and disappeared just as fast.
Prefecture Office
The Magistrate of Hongchou City was surnamed Liao, known as Magistrate Liao, a man extremely greedy, smooth, and ruthless.
Today, when six people suddenly died on the main street, Magistrate Liao pretended not to know and refused visitors at his door.
Because if it went public, the Sect Master of the Azure Dragon Sect would surely visit with generous gifts, and if it were kept private, there would be a rich reward afterwards. Either way, he wouldn't miss out on his share.
Thus, why bother with the trouble, he thought, let them make their fuss.
The carriage was moving quickly, but inside, it was steady and secure, showing no sign of bumpiness.
Chu Yu leaned on the couch, with a chess piece in his hand; he gently placed it down.
Then he took a sip from his wine cup, "Life is such, truly delightful!"
Hearing this, Prince Yanjun raised his eyebrows without saying a word, gently placing a piece on the board.
He was supposedly blinded, but after eating Chu Yu's Detoxification Pill, he could see things somewhat clearly; it was blurry, but enough for him to see hope.
And so, he found the interest to play a few games of chess with Chu Yu.
"Uncle, we'll soon arrive at Hongchou City. Shall we stay in the city for a night?" asked Yuwen Ya.
Chu Yu had intended to have a meal and then continue on the journey, but after glancing at Prince Yanjun said, "Let Luoyi book the best rooms at the inn for us. We'll stay for a night and then leave!"
Luoyi, outside the carriage, heard the order and responded, "Yes!"
He then hurried on his horse to do so.
Yuwen Ya said nothing, but he poured tea and handed it to Prince Yanjun, "Uncle, have some tea!"
Prince Yanjun took the teacup and had a sip; the fragrance of the tea was subtle, his favorite....
