His eyes swept over the symbol on Feng Yan’s sleeve, and he could not help but be even more astonished as he mumbled, “When has our Winter Moon Sect started to take in cripples? Furthermore, this cripple looks really powerful!”
He was straightforward in his speech, and when he said this “cripple”, he was only saying things as they were, so in truth, he did not have any intention to insult him. However, when Feng Yan heard this, this “cripple” sounded as if it was filled with malice.
“You are seeking death!” Feng Yan’s eyes sharpened, and he was just about to deliver another attack.
Ling Han turned around and said, “Do you have some kind of problem? You plan to jump into a battle right from the moment you see us; do you have no recognition for the rules of the sect?”
Feng Yan paused. When he saw Ling Han’s back, it was a hundred percent like his great enemy’s, but why was there such a huge difference the moment he turned around? This youth, or rather young man, did not have an outstanding apperance, and there was a great difference between his face and Ling Han’s.
But why… did his voice give him such a familiar feeling, and his back looked so much like Ling Han’s? Furthermore, this expression—the tone that he used to speak—was filled with the feeling that he detested.
“I was mistaken.” Multiple thoughts streaked through his head, yet in the end, he only said this.
“Crazy!” Yue Kai Yu glared angrily at him. He was the eldest grandson of the Yue Clan, yet for some unfathomable reason, he was attacked, which made him very displeased. But when he recalled the mission that he and Ling Han had, he did not currently have the time to call Feng Yan to accounts, so he said, “I have something to do now, and I will deal with you when I come back!”
As he spoke, he tugged Ling Han and planned to leave.
When he saw Ling Han’s back, killing intent once again appeared on Feng Yan’s face. He turned and looked at a disciple who was standing at the roadside and asked, “Who are these two?”
“Who are you, and why should I tell you?” that disciple asked with his head held high, very displeased with Feng Yan’s attitude.
Feng Yan’s eyes sharpened and a terrifying aura exuded from him, which immediately made that disciple shiver in fear. He hurriedly answered, “The slightly older one is Yue Kai Yu, Senior Brother Yue. He is Grand Elder Yue’s great-grandson, and the other one is called Han Lin. He has just entered the sect two days ago, but he is the kind to attract trouble. He has just arrived, and has already killed Attendant Ao’s beloved daughter, and now has been punished to enter the Dark Devil Forest to collect Fiery Sun Grass.”
Feng Yan’s right index finger suddenly flicked, and his killing intent spread. Han Lin, Ling Han, wasn’t that precisely the other way round? Furthermore, he was a newly entered disciple, yet was so outrageously bold that he dared to kill the daughter of an Attendant. This was very similar to Ling Han’s personality.
He immediately leaped up and left, heading towards the White Cloud Peak. This was where all the higher ranks of the Winter Moon Sect lived. If one wanted to enter here, one at least had to be in the Spiritual Pedestal Tier, or be the personal disciple of an elite of the Spiritual Infant Tier or the Flower Blossom Tier. Not even Yue Kai Yu was qualified to live here.
Feng Yan found the place where the information for the sect’s disciples were recorded, directly drew out the personal token of Grand Elder Shi, and made the request to look at Ling Han’s information.
Suspicions were still only suspicions, after all. He wanted solid proof.
“Han Lin, nineteen years old. He’s from Return Origin Mountain, and was at the first layer of the Spiritual Ocean Tier upon his entry into the sect.” As Feng Yan read, a sliver of a cold smirk appeared at his lips, and he said, “Send someone to the Return Origin Mountain to verify this person’s information.
“Young Master Yan, isn’t that a bit of making a big fuss over a small issue?”
“Do as I say, or do I need to ask my master to speak with you?”
“I wouldn’t dare!”
When Feng Yan left, his expression was dark. “Han Lin, if you are really Ling Han, I will definitely have you die in the Winter Moon Sect because you have sought your own death. Since you’ve concealed your identity, when I kill you, I would have only killed a minor character named Han Lin! Heng, heng!”
…
Ling Han and Yue Kai Yu set out, and headed towards Sea Breeze City. It was unknown how long they would spend on this trip to the Dark Devil Forest, so naturally, he had to go and get Liu Yu Tong and the others first. Anyways, Yue Kai Yu did not know anyone of their group.
To avoid being targeted by Ao Feng, Yue Zhen Shan even escorted them personally, and he only returned to the Winter Moon Sect after they had left the boundaries of the Yu Long Mountains without spotting any sign of Ao Feng. That was because even if Ao Feng’s daughter had died, it was no matter, since he still had a considerable number of children left. But in his case, he only had this one son.
The two of them arrived at the Sea Breeze City, an extremely large city. It was a dozen times larger than even the Imperial City of the Rain Country. The city walls that were over a hundred metres tall cast a long shadow on the ground, and the whole city seemed like a colossal beast crawling.
“I need to go and find a few friends first,” Ling Han said.
“All right,” Yue Kai Yu said without thinking too much about it, not worried that Ling Han could sell him off.

Chapter 354: Who’s Better at Picking Up Girls

Ling Han soon found the inn that Liu Yu Tong and the others were staying at. Coincidentally, Liu Yu Tong and Li Si Chan were coming down from upstairs together right at that moment. They looked like they were planning to have something to eat. It was almost noon, so the time was just right for lunch.
“Wa, two great beauties!” Yue Kai Yu instantly blew a whistle.
Ling Han rolled his eyes and said, “They have a silk veil over their faces, and you can still see that they are beauties?”
“Hehe, you should trust my eyes. Since I’ve said that they’re beauties, then they’re definitely beauties!” Yue Kai Yu patted Ling Han’s shoulder with a grin and said, “You just wait here, and let Big Brother Yu show you a few tricks to pick up a girl.”
Ling Han’s expression became a little strange, and he asked, “You want to pick the two of them up?”
“One would not be too few, and two would not be too many. Learn a bit… ai, you’re so tanned, and though you don’t look ugly, you’re still too far away from being handsome. Looks like you won’t be able to learn Big Brother Yu’s wisdom,” Yue Kai Yu said, shaking his head.
Ling Han laughed, and asked, “Aren’t you worried that you would pierce my fragile heart by saying that?”
“As a human being, the most important thing is to face up to reality. You indeed don’t look very appealing, and there is too much of a gap between the handsome, dashing looks that your Big Brother Yu has. Forget it, let’s not talk about this, you first observe the skill your Big Brother Yu has in picking up girls.” Then Yue Kai Yu took big strides towards Liu Yu Tong and the girls.
However, in a short while, he returned gloomily, looking downhearted.
“How was it? Were you rebuffed?” Ling Han glanced over and saw that Hu Niu was still waving her claws and baring her teeth at Yue Kai Yu, but when Ling Han caught her eye, the little girl couldn’t help but tilt her head and look him over.
This little girl really had terrifying instincts. After he had changed his appearance, even Liu Yu Tong and Li Si Chan had not noticed the slightest oddness about him, but Hu Niu seemed to have discovered something was strange about him but had yet to confirm her suspicions.
“Don’t remind me. Let’s drink, no one is going home without getting drunk!” Yue Kai Yu looked as if he had had his heart broken.
Ling Han smiled faintly and said, “W
hy don’t I show off a few of my tricks as well and let you see what is really the best trick to pick up a girl?”
“Ha, ha!” Yue Kai Yu naturally did not believe his words, and laughed sarcastically at him. “If you’re able to sit with them, then I’ll be convinced!”
“What’s so difficult about that?” Ling Han clapped a hand on his shoulder and said, “You go find us a table first, and wait while I go and bring them over.”
Pu!
Yue Kai Yu choked in laughter and said, “Junior Brother Han, ah, Junior Brother Han. I am very impressed with your battle prowess, but your ability at making boasts seems to be even more awesome! All right, if you can bring them over, I’ll call you Big Brother from now on!”
“That’s what you’ve said, so you better not regret it,” Ling Han said, shaking his head.
“Yes, that’s what I said. Go on then!” Yue Kai Yu looked like he was waving him off in a farewell.
Without another word, Ling Han walked towards the table that Liu Yu Tong and Li Si Chan were seated at, whereas Yue Kai Yu was watching from one side while looking for an empty table to sit at. Naturally, a waiter soon approached and asked for his order.
How big could the dining hall in an inn be? With a few steps, Ling Han had arrived in front of the table that Liu Yu Tong and Li Si Chan were sitting at.
“My two Misses, may I sit down?” Ling Han asked with a smile.
Liu Yu Tong and Li Si Chan simultaneously looked displeased at this. Even if they had veiled their faces, he could still see their slender brows were wrinkled in a frown. It was not that they had never seen skirt-chasers before, but it was the first time they had seen one that was brave enough to directly sit at their table with them.
“No,” Li Si Chan said coldly.
Meanwhile, Liu Yu Tong directly stretched out a slender, jade finger and pointed in the direction of the main door. Her meaning was obvious, and that was for him to “get lost”.
Yue Kai Yu laughed loudly. He was rebuffed previously, and so naturally did not believe that Ling Han, a guy who did not look in any way outstanding and additionally was so tanned, could succeed. Otherwise, wouldn’t that imply that his charms were too inferior and that he could not measure up to even Ling Han?
Ling Han was not discouraged, he turned to Hu Niu and asked, “Little beauty, may I sit beside you?”
Hu Niu did not say another word and directly moved her behind, eking out space on what had originally been a long bench that could only accommodate one person.
Pu!
This time, it was Liu Yu Tong and Li Si Chan’s turn to choke. They had originally thought that even if Hu Niu did not explode, she would still ignore this stranger. They had even prepared themselves to restrain Hu Niu together so as to ensure that the little girl did not hurt anyone.
Yet they had never imagined that the little girl would have this kind of reaction.
This, this, this… had Hu Niu been bewitched?
As the two girls looked dumbstruck, Ling Han had already sat down. He knew that Hu Niu had already recognized him. He laughed and teased Hu Niu. The little girl was very cooperative, and very soon, she squeezed into his arms and acted spoiled.
Pa , Yue Kai Yu could not help but drop the chopsticks he was holding and his face twitched uncontrollably.
Damn, he had taken everything into account, yet left out a little girl from his calculations.
Young beauties indeed would not like Ling Han’s type, tanned and with rather ordinary looks, but what would a little girl know about what a handsome man looked like! He never imagined that his Junior Brother Han was so good with kids.
Thankfully, he had only sat at the same table with the two young beauties, but it was practically impossible for him to bring them over.
There was no need for him to address Ling Han as Big Brother.
Phew, he almost met with an unexpected failure.
Liu Yu Tong and Li Si Chan were both very baffled. Hu Niu extremely rejected the approach of any strangers, and if it was not because for Ling Han, even they would not be able to get close to this little girl. Yet why was it that an unfamiliar man was able to make Hu Niu act so defenseless, and act so spoiled and warm as if the man was Ling Han?
Yi, could it be?
The eyes of the two girls lit up at the same time. They both knew that Ling Han had changed his appearance and went to the Winter Moon Sect, so did that mean that this young man in front of them was…
“Ling Han mean, left for so long, and not play with Niu!” It was at this moment that they heard Hu Niu say with much displeasure as she bit Ling Han’s hand to express her dissatisfaction.
Indeed!
The two girls finally understood, and secretly felt ashamed as well. They were both very deeply in love with Ling Han, yet they had not recognized their beloved when he was standing in front of them. On the other hand, Hu Niu was able to recognize him with a single look. How could they bear with that?
Ling Han smiled faintly, tousled Hu Niu’s hair, and said, “All right, I’ll play more often with Niu Niu in future.”
Hu Niu knew how to act spoiled, but would never throw an unreasonable tantrum. She immediately stopped frowning and gave Ling Han a very sweet smile.
F***, was this little girl transformed from some kind of vixen? That was really too cunning of her. Like that, Ling Han would definitely feel apologetic and dote even more on this little girl.
The two girls exchanged a look and could not help but feel alert in their minds. They definitely could not overlook Hu Niu just because she was little, because a little girl would very soon grow up to become a young girl. With Hu Niu’s possessiveness, by that time, the two of them might not even be able to get within ten metres of Ling Han.
Ling Han nodded at the two girls, and said, “My name now is Han Lin, and that guy over there is my cousin, but he does not know who I am. Come with me.”
Liu Yu Tong and Li Si Chan instantly looked shy, but they still stood up and followed Ling Han back to where Yue Kai Yu was sitting.
Pa , the chopsticks that Yue Kai Yu had just picked up not too long ago fell back onto the table. His face twitched, and it looked like his eyes were practically popping out of his head.
This, how, how was this possible!?
They were really conned over by this guy? Hiss, no matter how he looked at this Junior Brother Han, there wasn’t any particularly outstanding part to him, was there? Or did the women nowadays prefer the ordinary, tanned type?

Chapter 355: Information about Mother

Ling Han sat down, holding Hu Niu in his arms. The little girl was acting spoiled and clinging to him without any intention of coming down from his arms. Meanwhile, Liu Yu Tong and Li Si Chan sat on either side of him. The four of them coincidentally occupied all four sides of the table.
“Senior Brother Yue, looks like you will have to change how you address me in the future,” Ling Han said, laughing.
Yue Kai Yu felt like he was about to go crazy. He turned to Li Si Chan and said, “Has this guy promised you some benefits to make you sit here? Let me tell you, this guy is a liar; he’s both poor and ugly!”
To save his face as a senior brother, he did not care for anything else anymore and began to disparage Ling Han’s character.
Li Si Chan took off her face veil, and instantly, her delicate features were revealed. It was as if she herself was a deity, pleasing to anyone who saw her. She smiled faintly, and said, “I would have to disappoint Senior Brother Yue. I’m here of my own accord.”
Liu Yu Tong was not to be outdone, either, and she similarly removed her face veil and said, “So am I.”
The reason why they had worn face veils was simply because they had not wanted to attract unnecessary trouble with their outstanding beauty, but now that Ling Han had returned, there was naturally nothing for them to be afraid of.
Yue Kai Yu could not help but gape with his mouth wid
e open. He had long foreseen that these two girls were great beauties, but still had not expected that they would be beautiful to this level. They were not in the least bit inferior to Ao Zi Tai in terms of beauty. Thankfully, he was not the kind of man who would be completely unable to move upon seeing a beautiful girl. He very quickly returned to his senses, gave Ling Han a thumbs up, and said, “You’re awesome. I’m convinced!”
“Hehe, don’t you continue teasing Senior Brother Yue anymore,” Liu Yu Tong said to Ling Han.
Yue Kai Yu stared blankly for a moment before he immediately understood, and said, “So the two of them are your friends.”
Ling Han laughed loudly, and said, “Senior Brother Yue is finally clever for once!”
“F*, I was just thinking how could your charms be so powerful that you’re able to abduct two great beauties upon your first meeting; so it appears that you know each other!” Yue Kai Yu shook his head repeatedly, but also heaved out a breath of relief.
It was not that he was not as charming as Ling Han, but there was another reason for his defeat. Furthermore, since they had known each other early on, then the bet they had made should of course not be taken seriously.
Ling Han was also just joking around with Yue Kai Yu. He turned to look at Liu Yu Tong, and asked, “Where are Big Brother Guang, Can Ye, and Wu Jiu?”
“Wu Jiu and Can Ye have already eaten, but Big Brother Guang…” Li Si Chan paused slightly. “He seems to have suffered some kind of blow, and has looked dispirited for quite a few days already.”
Ling Han nodded and said, “I’ll go take a look at him later. However, the important thing now is to make Senior Brother Yue drunk.”
“Why do you want to make me drunk?” Yue Kai Yu asked very innocently.
“Is it not worth getting drunk for the sake of seeing two such beautiful girls?” Ling Han asked with a smile.
“Hehe, then let’s get drunk!” Yue Kai Yu was an unrestrained person in the first place, and those with straightforward personalities usually tended to like drinking. Thus, he immediately smacked the table, and called out, “Waiter, get us some good wine.”
