Chapter 003: Changes

The leader, dressed in splendid attire, did not respond to Han Tianjun's question, but instead asked indifferently: "Who is Han Jianfeng"

Additionally, during the gatherings, the members of the Han family must report to the clan leader about the development of business outside the Han family for that month. With several hundred people in the Han residence, a substantial amount of money is required to maintain daily life, along with various other expenses, leading to significant monthly expenditures for the Han family. Therefore, it is essential for the Han family to have profitable ventures outside. In Fengcheng, the Han family owns several large shops, which are managed by the five brothers of Han Jianfeng (the five brothers are: the eldest Han Jianyu, the second Han Jiantao, the third Han Jianfeng, the fourth Han Jianyuan, and the fifth Han Jianlong). As the clan leader, Han Tianjun has a multitude of matters to manage, and it is impossible for him to be aware of all the circumstances of the Han family, making the monthly gatherings necessary.

Passing through the corridors, I arrived at the Han residence courtyard. Looking at the open vermilion gate ahead, Han Jianfeng spoke: "There is no need for everyone to see me off; you may all return."

"Very well, then. Tonight, the five of you brothers come to my place for a gathering, to see your mother, and by the way, Jianfeng should also bid farewell to your mother," Han Tianjun instructed.

After each of them reported on the situation in the middle of the month, Han Tianjun nodded in satisfaction. He then said, "You have all worked hard, and everyone must be hungry. If there are no other matters, let us begin the meal."

The crowd silently followed behind, and the atmosphere felt somewhat oppressive. At this moment, the cold mansion was filled with the sadness of parting

Although taking into account the strength of the other party, Lord Hantian still stepped forward and said coldly: "You and your companions have intruded into my Han residence in such a manner, is this not a breach of decorum"

He patted Han Jianfeng on the shoulder, and Han Tianjun turned to walk outside, saying in a lonely voice, "Let’s set off"

"Jianfeng, if you have something to say, just say it. Being overly verbose is not your usual style," Han Tianjun said

In an instant, most of the members of the Han family found themselves retreating repeatedly under the pressure of this overwhelming aura, with even Han Tianjun, a master at the Nine Star Technique Sect level, retreating five or six steps before he could steady himself. It is worth noting that Han Tianjun is a formidable expert, and to have retreated five or six steps merely under the pressure of an aura illustrates the strength of the newcomer. Only Han Jianfeng remained proudly standing in the arena, his long robe billowing without wind.

After finishing lunch and the library meal, Han Yanyun and Han Jianfeng's uncle's son, Han Meng, insisted on taking Han Jianfeng and the two of them out to play. Among the many brothers and sisters in the family, perhaps only this younger brother and sister truly regard Han Jianfeng as family. Han Meng is one year younger than Han Yanyun, and the three chatted for a long time before reluctantly parting ways

Father, I have some matters I would like to discuss with everyone said Han Jianfeng, speaking hesitantly

Seeing his father, who seemed quite spirited yesterday, now appear somewhat aged at this moment, Han Jianfeng felt a deep sense of sorrow. "Father, don't worry, I will return early," Han Jianfeng reassured him

Upon hearing Han Jianfeng's words, the middle-aged man in the splendid attire did not show any anger. However, the five individuals behind him simultaneously stepped forward and declared loudly: "How bold! How dare you speak to an elder in such a manner." As they spoke, their imposing aura was unleashed without reservation.

Thank you, Father; I will definitely return home early. Although he said this, Han Jianfeng felt a twinge of sadness in his heart, wondering how long it would take before he could return to the family. The thought of not being able to care for his father in the future left Han Jianfeng feeling uneasy.

The expressions on the faces of the members of the Han family turned exceptionally grim, and their hearts were filled with shock. It is important to note that, under normal circumstances, each master at the King of Skills level is a figure of great stature, rarely seen in person. Yet today, there were six individuals present, all of whom possessed skills above the King of Skills level. Moreover, these five individuals referred to the middle-aged man in the elegant attire as 'senior,' raising questions about the extent of his strength. Throughout the encounter, he merely stood there calmly, exuding an air of profound mystery.

In the blink of an eye, six individuals had arrived before the Han family. Regarding the impolite act of directly intruding into the residence, had it not been for the speed of the newcomers, it is likely that someone would have already taken action.

Everyone bid farewell to Han Jianfeng. His presence made the Han family’s influence in Feng City surpass that of the other three major families, both in terms of power and impact. The role of Han Jianfeng within the family is beyond doubt. Although the younger generation of the Han family may look down on Han Fengxue, they hold genuine respect for Han Jianfeng.

Seeing the approaching figure rushing directly towards the Han residence, it was evident that they were an enemy, not a friend. A hint of confusion and concern appeared in the eyes of the members of the Han family

Early the next morning, as the first rays of red light from the east touched the earth, dew still hung on the trees and grass. The Han family had already packed their belongings and were ready to set off. Most of the Han family members had come to see them off.

"We will set off early tomorrow morning," replied Tu Shanjianfeng.

"Yes, Father," the five replied

Father, esteemed uncles, brothers and sisters, take care of yourselves. And you young ones, make sure to practice diligently. The tone of Han Jianfeng was filled with deep affection. Parting from family members with whom he had lived for so many years filled his heart with great reluctance. However, for the sake of his son, he had no choice but to do so

As Han Jianfeng and the other two turned to walk towards the main gate, they suddenly saw several figures darting towards the Han residence like lightning. Observing the speed of the approaching individuals, Han Jianfeng's expression tightened. Six figures, moving no slower than the others, and the leader had his hands clasped behind his back, clearly not exerting himself. All six were at least masters of the King of Skills level.

Father, I would like to move out with Qing'er and Fengxue

When do you plan to set off?" Han Tianjun asked

At noon, the descendants of the Han family gathered in the main hall of the Han residence. The monthly family gathering primarily aims to strengthen the bonds among the clan members, as most of them are usually busy with their cultivation. Given the vastness of the Han residence, without these gatherings, many might go months without seeing each other.

Han Tianjun nodded at Han Jianfeng, his tall figure appearing slightly hunched at that moment. The imposing man seemed to have aged over a decade overnight, his face marked by the ravages of time. From the conversation he had with Han Jianfeng the previous night, he vaguely sensed that perhaps it would be a long time before Han Jianfeng could return to the family.

Han Tianjun clearly did not believe his words. Did he really need to move the entire family out when faced with a bottleneck? It was evident that Han Jianfeng was not being truthful. After pondering for a moment, Han Tianjun agreed, "Alright, but come back early after the breakthrough." He certainly did not wish for his favorite son to be away from him, but out of trust in Han Jianfeng, he chose not to investigate further. Perhaps Jianfeng had something he had to attend to, Han Tianjun thought to himself.

Upon hearing Han Jianfeng's words, the hall fell into silence. Everyone looked at Han Jianfeng with confusion.

"No, Father. It's just that I've encountered a bottleneck in my recent training, and I want to try a different environment to see if I can make a breakthrough." Han Jianfeng fabricated a reason, feeling somewhat guilty in his heart

With a slight frown, Han Jianfeng stepped forward and stood side by side with Han Tianjun, saying: "You have yet to answer my father's question. Who exactly are you, and what business do you have with me? I do not deal with vermin.

"Why do you want to move out? Is living at home not good? If there are any issues, can't you just tell me so we can resolve them?" Han Tianjun asked, puzzled. Although he understood that Han Jianfeng must have his own reasons for acting this way.
