Han Xinghua looked at her father, who had suddenly stood up, frowning and pacing around the room, and asked in confusion.
“Father, what’s wrong with Han Da?”
Han Haiyan glanced at his two daughters, then fell silent again for a moment.
He felt it was time to let his two daughters experience the treachery of human hearts, lest they suffer losses when they went to the Immortal Sect.
“Xingzhi, Xinghua, Han Da’s matter began more than half a year ago.”
“At that time, Han Youyun made a mistake and had one of his legs broken by you, Xingzhi.
Since an enmity was formed, and Han Da had been in the manor for many years and knew too much, I originally intended to kill their entire family.
But due to some matters, I left the manor for a month.
Later, when I returned, I met a fortune-teller at the entrance.”
“I was about to enter when I heard him muttering about a Dragon emerging from the Abyss, and then sighing, ‘What a pity, what a pity.’ Out of curiosity, I stopped him and questioned him in detail.”
“Initially, that person refused to speak, saying it was forbidden to reveal heavenly secrets as it would shorten his lifespan.
Only after I offered him a large sum of money did he reveal some things to me.
He said that a person of great Luck had emerged from my manor, but this person would also face many disasters and a destined fatal calamity in the future, which might even bring disaster upon the entire family.
All of this was due to the too many unjustly deceased people in my Han family over the past hundred years, resulting in a pervasive resentment.
This was Karma.”
“I asked him how to resolve this calamity, and he gave me several suggestions, saying that if I followed them, it could be resolved.
One of them was that no more people should die unjustly in the manor within half a year, otherwise, the resentment would soar to the heavens, and even immortals would be unable to save us in the future.
And today is exactly half a year since I met that fortune-teller.”
“So, I originally thought that if Han Da’s family of three did not leave the manor, then I would deal with them upon my return.
If they left the manor, then I would have them killed on the road.
I had already arranged for Lu Yuanba and 8 others to wait for Han Da on the unavoidable path.”
“Now that I think about it, I’m afraid this Fortune-Teller was hired by Han Da, otherwise, Han Da’s family would have died half a year ago and Han Da probably already discerned my murderous intent and the matter of the Immortal Sect.
In fact, Han Da is following us not far behind right now!”
“Once Han Youfu and Han Youyun are chosen, it will be difficult for our family to have a peaceful resolution with them.”
Han Xinghua and Han Xingzhi both gasped.
They truly hadn’t imagined that human hearts could be so complex.
Even more, they hadn’t expected that merely because Han Youyun had a leg broken, their father would want to kill Han Da’s entire family, speaking of it so lightly, as if killing chickens.
The two of them then thought of some servants who had been doing well in the manor but mysteriously disappeared; they were probably killed by their father for doing something wrong.
Their father’s ruthlessness and Han Da’s wisdom deeply shocked these two naïve girls.
Han Haiyan had also calmed down by now.
He then called over another guard leader who was accompanying him.
“Wu Changzhou, take all the remaining guards and go ambush them on the winding mountain road ahead.
If you encounter Han Da’s family of three, do not hold back.”
“I’m just trying to make a desperate attempt.
Since Han Da has already left the manor, I’m afraid he’s like a Fierce Tiger released from a cage; it will be difficult to kill him again.”
Han Xinghua and Han Xingzhi exchanged glances upon hearing this.
They truly hadn’t known about these schemes in the manor before, but it seemed there were indeed quite a few servants who had died unjustly in the Han family otherwise, their father wouldn’t have believed in such talk about excessive resentment.
After his eyes flickered for a moment, Han Haiyan looked at Xiao Hei, who was perched on a distant rooftop, watching them.
“Xinghua, go call Xiao Hei back, then write a letter to Han Yang, telling him to meet up with us.
I have something to tell him.”
Han Xinghua looked at Xiao Hei not far away, then at her father, thinking, what if Xiao Hei was called over and crushed to death by her father?
She truly didn’t trust her father now.
Her father definitely wouldn’t harm them, but how could she let Han Yang be in danger?
Han Yang was so clever.
Since he could leave the manor and follow them, he could naturally follow all the way to their destination.
Why go to such extra trouble?
Thinking of this, Han Xinghua said somewhat hesitantly.
“Father, why don’t we just let Xiao Hei follow?
Lest Xiao Hei fly around randomly and lose track of us, then Han Yang won’t be able to find us.”
Han Haiyan was stunned upon hearing this.
After a brief thought, he knew his daughter didn’t trust him, but he wasn’t angry; instead, he said happily.
“Good!”
“Xinghua, it’s good that you have this sense of vigilance.
Especially if you truly go to the Immortal Sect in the future, you must be even more vigilant of everyone around you!
Although the Immortal Sect has its own laws, the filth within it is far greater than that in my Han family.
One careless mistake can easily cost you your life.”
“How about this, after I leave, you find an opportunity to leave a note for Han Yang.”
“Tell him to go to Blossoming Garden Restaurant in the East City of Yuyue City within half a month to meet us.
Don’t worry, fighting is not allowed in Yuyue City.
As long as he enters Yuyue City, no one can kill Han Yang.”
“When Han Yang arrives, he can also inquire for himself to confirm that everything I’ve said is true.”
“Are you finally at ease now?”
Han Xinghua’s lips curved into a smile again upon hearing this.
“Father, is that Yuyue City where the Immortal Sect test takes place?”
Han Haiyan smiled bitterly and nodded.
“Don’t worry, if both you and Han Yang have a Spiritual Root, then it’s actually a good thing.
You can interact however you want in the future, and I won’t say another word.
Perhaps in the future, he will even be your reliance.
Now, I actually hope he has a Spiritual Root.”
“As for Han Da and his son,”
Han Haiyan sighed when he reached this point and continued,
“I hope they don’t have a Spiritual Root.
If they really do, then it’s truly troublesome.”
Both girls breathed a sigh of relief as their father departed.
“Sister, don’t you want to write a letter to Han Yang now?
There are no Young Misses and servants in this Immortal Sect.
If those two servants, Han Youfu and Han Youyun, are really chosen, they will surely seek revenge on us!”
Han Xinghua glanced at her somewhat nervous sister, then at Xiao Hei on the rooftop.
After some deliberation, she felt that Han Yang was indeed clever, nothing could stump him.
Perhaps he had already thought about the Immortal Sect when he bought Xiao Hei three years ago.
She also sighed, realizing that she and Han Yang had indeed grown somewhat distant.
Moreover, she lacked the courage to defy her father.
But Han Yang shouldn’t blame her, right?
After all, she was under her parents’ watchful eyes every day, and even had maids keeping an eye on her.
What could she do?
“Xingzhi, I won’t write today.
Let’s wait until we reach Yuyue City to write.”
“Han Yang definitely has his own arrangements.”
“I believe he will definitely appear when he should!”
With the major matter off her mind, Han Xinghua was no longer sad.
Drowsiness overcame her, and she quickly fell into a dream.
However, the dreams of the two sisters were completely different.
Han Xinghua had a series of pleasant dreams.
In her dreams, she and Han Yang both achieved success in Cultivation and were intimately close, just like when they were children and as long as Han Yang was by her side, she feared no storm.
She believed that nothing could stump her Brother Yang.
Meanwhile, Han Xingzhi had a nightmare.
In her dream, Han Youyun had achieved success in Cultivation and cackled strangely at her, even holding a stick to break her leg.
Terrified, Han Xingzhi huddled in her quilt, trembling and drenched in cold sweat.
