Chapter 154: Are you Han Li, Junior Brother Han?
Taking me as your master?
Gongsun Yun opened his mouth but didn't say anything.
His daughter's aptitude is very high, even among the fourth-grade aptitudes, she is considered good. She has been cultivating in Tianxuan Mountain and has indeed been buried there.
Gongsun Yun had always wanted Gongsun Yue to go to Taixuan Sect for further studies. Tianxuan Mountain is a branch of Taixuan Sect and has three ancestors. Gongsun Yue has good aptitude and with good cultivation, she might be able to reach the True Martial Realm in this lifetime.
Unfortunately, Gongsun Yue refused. She has always been stubborn. Even if Tianxuan Mountain encountered a major crisis, she insisted on staying. She once said, "My mother has long passed away. If my father is also gone, what meaning is there for me to live alone in this world?"
Gongsun Yun didn't try to persuade her at that time. He knew it was futile. Now that his daughter finally has this idea, it couldn't be better.
This senior severely injured a mid-stage True Martial Realm cultivator with just a few swords. In the True Martial Realm, he is considered a strong cultivator. If his daughter becomes his disciple and receives his guidance, she may have a chance to advance to the True Martial Realm in the future.
Moreover, this also establishes a relationship with this senior. If Tianxuan Mountain encounters difficulties in the future, this senior cannot ignore it.
Although he thought this way, Gongsun Yun still felt a bit reluctant. His daughter has been with him for decades, and now she is going to be taken away by someone else. He had many emotions about it.
The three ancestors exchanged glances but didn't say anything. This was Gongsun Yun and Gongsun Yue's matter, and they couldn't interfere. However, they also wanted this senior to accept Gongsun Yue as his disciple, which would provide an additional strong guarantee for Tianxuan Mountain.
"Take me as your master?" Han Li's eyes flashed with surprise. This senior sister is quite decisive.
With the strength he has shown, anyone from Tianxuan Mountain would consider it a great opportunity to become his disciple.
Although Gongsun Yue has high aptitude, it is difficult to say whether she can advance to the True Martial Realm in the future, even with good guidance. She might fall halfway.
And this Han Li, at least in the mid-stage of the True Martial Realm, has shown unfathomable strength and is at the top level in the entire Xuan Domain.
Gongsun Yue was able to seize this opportunity and bravely speak up. Her character is indeed extraordinary. The relationship between the two sides is still harmonious, making it the best time for her to become a disciple.
It would be very difficult for Gongsun Yue to try to become his disciple after Han Li leaves. Even if she enters Taixuan Sect for cultivation, it would be difficult for her to be accepted as a direct disciple by a True Martial Realm expert. After all, she only has a fourth-grade aptitude.
Gongsun Yue nodded earnestly and said again, "Please accept me as your disciple."
She knew this was a very good opportunity. Although Tianxuan Mountain is now far away from the chaos of the Great Qian, it has just landed within the range of the Qitian Sect and is still not stable enough.
If she becomes this person's disciple, Tianxuan Mountain will have an additional connection with him, and they can ask for his help when needed.
Moreover, Gongsun Yue also wants to go out and see the world. She has almost always stayed in Tianxuan Mountain and has some longing for the outside world. She hopes to travel through the Primordial Spirit Province with this senior.
Although the Primordial Spirit Province is vast, it would only take a few months for a True Martial Realm expert to cross it. Protecting her, a small Vital Spirit Realm cultivator, would be effortless.
Looking at the stunning woman with purple hair and a purple dress in front of him, Han Li sighed in his heart. If he wasn't Gongsun Yun's disciple, he really wanted to accept Gongsun Yue as his disciple and try a master-disciple romance.
Unfortunately, Gongsun Yue is his senior sister, and it would eventually be exposed.
Han Li shook his head and sighed, "I stopped accepting disciples five hundred years ago."
Gongsun Yue pursed her lips, her pretty face filled with disappointment. Gongsun Yun and the three ancestors sighed inwardly. It seems that this senior has no intention of getting involved with Tianxuan Mountain anymore.
"But..." Han Li paused.
Gongsun Yu's bright eyes lit up as she eagerly looked at this refined middle-aged man. Gongsun Yun and the three ancestors also became alert, could there be a turning point?
Han Li continued, "I still lack a maid by my side. If you're willing, you can come with me."
In fact, Han Li wanted to say that he still lacked a warm bed companion, but that statement didn't match his current demeanor. Saying it out loud would affect the tall image he held in the hearts of the others.
Gongsun Yun slightly shook his head at Gongsun Yu, signaling for her not to agree. Although this senior was a powerful True Martial Realm Martial King, he didn't want his precious daughter to be mistreated.
Gongsun Yu hesitated for a moment and then agreed, "I'm willing."
This person seemed quite upright, so there shouldn't be any mistakes if she became a maid.
If this person truly coveted her beauty, with his strength, even if he forced himself on her now, Tianxuan Mountain wouldn't be able to resist. So Gongsun Yu didn't think there was anything to worry about.
Gongsun Yun sighed inwardly, feeling a sense of unease. It seemed that something might go wrong with his beloved daughter's journey, but he couldn't figure out what it was.
His thoughts were the same as Gongsun Yu's. This senior had come after a thousand years to repay a debt, indicating a strong sense of gratitude and righteousness. If he had any ill intentions, with his strength, Tianxuan Mountain wouldn't be able to resist.
Gongsun Yun felt that he was being overly protective of his daughter and was too suspicious of this senior.
Little did he know, this was exactly Han Li's true intention.
If he took Gongsun Yu as his disciple and married her, it would definitely be difficult to explain to Gongsun Yun in the end.
But if he didn't take her as a disciple and still did this, then there wouldn't be any problems. He believed that Gongsun Yun would be happy about it, after all, he was Gongsun Yun's closed-door disciple and successor.
However, it wasn't appropriate for him to reveal his identity now. He would inform Gongsun Yun later when his strength was even stronger.
As for Senior Sister, he could only treat her with respect for now.
"Alright."
Han Li glanced at Gongsun Yun, a mysterious smile hidden in the depths of his eyes.
After waiting for another quarter of an hour, Han Li patiently watched Gongsun Yu and Gongsun Yun communicate. Gongsun Yun had been giving instructions all along, making Han Li really want to say:
"Please rest assured, Father-in-law. Your son-in-law will take good care of Senior Sister."
When the two finished their conversation, Han Li flicked his sleeve and whisked Gongsun Yu away, disappearing from sight.
It had been almost an hour since they left Chengsheng Mountain. Han Li was starting to miss home and his beautiful wives. He hadn't been away from the Han Mansion for such a long time in a while.
He flew at the fastest speed along the way, covering a distance of 390,000 miles in a single breath. His speed was extremely fast.
Gongsun Yu was only at the peak of the Vital Spirit Realm, and her body was too delicate to withstand such intense flight. Han Li had been protecting her with his true essence all along, so as to prevent her from accidentally dying on the way.
Gongsun Yu had originally wanted to communicate with this senior and inquire about his name, background, and so on. She also wanted to ask where they were going and how to address him. However, this senior never gave her a chance to speak.
She could only feel the scenery outside changing rapidly, crossing a very long distance in the blink of an eye. If it weren't for the true essence barrier protecting her, Gongsun Yu felt that she would be torn apart by the gusts of wind in an instant.
Gongsun Yu could tell that this senior seemed to be in a hurry, fully focused on rushing forward, and had no intention of talking to her. So she patiently waited, planning to ask slowly after they arrived at their destination.
She also wanted to know the true identity of this senior, and she believed that everything would become clear once they reached their destination.
Not long after, the two arrived at a majestic and steep mountain peak with a unique and beautiful scenery. Gong Sunyue looked at the scenery in the mountains and the bustling crowd, feeling a bit confused.
Where exactly is this?
Gong Sunyue secretly glanced at the expert in front of her, cautiously releasing her spiritual awareness, wanting to listen to the conversations of the people below to determine where they were.
After listening for a while, her expression suddenly became strange. Gradually, she became more and more shocked, her clear eyes filled with disbelief. She had a bold guess in her heart.
Could this senior in front of her be Han Li?
Her spiritual awareness saw the stone tablet at the gate of the Han Family and heard the conversations of the Han Family members. From their words, she learned that the strongest person in the Han Family was Han Laozu, but no one mentioned his specific name.
She also heard some familiar names in a certain area of the Chengdao Peak, although only a few, such as Yue Yao, Ming Meng, and Yue Xin.
She had seen those names before. She had collected information about Han Li before and knew that Han Li had many concubines, including Liu Yue Xin, Li Ming Meng, and Qiu Yue Yao.
Moreover, the title of Han Laozu seemed to be recorded in the intelligence as the respectful title given to Han Li by the Lingjun City.
Gulong~
Gong Sunyue swallowed her saliva. She felt that her guess was likely true.
It couldn't be that this senior also surnamed Han, being respected as Han Laozu, and having the same names for some of his concubines, right?
Such a coincidence is impossible in the world.
Although this senior looked different from Han Li and was of a different age, Gong Sunyue knew that these could all be disguised.
If he was Han Li, then it would explain why he came to help Tianxuan Mountain, escorting them to Qitian Sect, but refused to accept her as his disciple.
However, if he was Han Li, why would he take her as a maid and bring her back to the Han Family?
Gong Sunyue felt a little panicked. Various speculations flooded her mind. She forced herself to calm down, pursing her lips several times before cautiously asking:
"Are you Han Li, Junior Brother Han?"
Gong Sunyue stared at the figure in front of her, her heart pounding. She didn't know what she was expecting.
"Sister, it's been a while."
Just as Gong Sunyue's heart reached her throat, Han Li smiled and said, turning around to look at this stunning senior sister with purple hair and a purple dress.
Gong Sunyue's pupils contracted, her beautiful face filled with shock, and her clear eyes were full of disbelief, leaving her in a daze.
Although she had already guessed it, Han Li's confirmation of his identity still shocked Gong Sunyue greatly, giving her a big scare.
She couldn't help but think of the only time she had met Han Li. She had gone to find him several times before Han Li reluctantly agreed to see her.
She also remembered the words her father, Gong Sunyun, had said to her. She had to admit that Gong Sunyun had a very good eye. Han Li was indeed the best candidate to inherit Tianxuan Mountain.
In just a short ten years or so, Han Li had cultivated from the peak of the Vital Spirit Realm to the True Martial Realm, crossing several major realms such as the Soul Refining Realm, Empty Void Realm, and Myriad Manifestations Realm.
Han Li's strength was still extremely strong in the True Martial Realm, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to severely injure the True Martial Realm Martial King of the Yin Yang Sect with just a few swords, making him flee in embarrassment.
After just over ten years, he reached the peak of the Profound Domain and became one of the top ten super powerhouses in the Profound Domain. How did Junior Brother Han cultivate to achieve this?
Wasn't he the Old Ancestor who took concubines frequently and neglected his cultivation?
Even though Han Li neglected his cultivation, his cultivation speed is still terrifying. If he had put in serious effort, wouldn't he have broken through to the Divine Origin Realm by now, or even a higher realm?
Gongsun Yue took a deep breath and exhaled. Her red lips opened and closed several times, but she didn't know what to say.
Thinking back to when she used to think that Han Li's cultivation was too low and unsuitable to inherit Tianxuan Mountain, and that he didn't qualify to be her father's closed-door disciple, Gongsun Yue felt very embarrassed, her beautiful face blushing.
Thinking back to her previous evaluation of Han Li and her opinion of him, she wished she could find a hole to hide in.
Han Li is not an ordinary person. He is an outstanding genius who has shocked the Profound Domain. His cultivation speed has broken the fastest record in the Profound Domain and even the Primordial Spirit Region, increasing by many times.
After a long time, Gongsun Yue's emotions finally calmed down a bit, and she asked, "Junior Brother Han, why didn't you tell Father the truth?"
With Han Li's current strength, there is no need to hide anymore. He could directly reveal his true identity, but he has always concealed his identity and hasn't revealed a single bit to Gongsun Yun.
Looking at this somewhat naive senior sister, Han Li shook his head slightly and said, "It's not that I don't want to, but I can't."
He has many enemies, both overt and covert, and he is still unable to deal with each one with his current strength. Naturally, he cannot expose his identity.
Otherwise, it would bring great trouble to the Han Family and Tianxuan Mountain, and it would become his weakness.
As long as the enemy doesn't know his true identity, they won't know his weaknesses and won't be able to use them against him.
Han Li still prefers to be cautious. He can act under a pseudonym, but his identity must never be exposed.
"Then why did you tell me?" After hesitating, Gongsun Yue still asked, her eyes filled with anticipation. Why did Han Li tell her all this? Could it be what she had thought?
Han Li saw all the thoughts on her pure and innocent face and said seriously, "It's just as you guessed."
Two blushes appeared on Gongsun Yue's beautiful face. She lowered her head, feeling a bit at a loss.
She had previously speculated why Han Li wanted her to follow him as a maid, and she didn't expect to have guessed it correctly.
Before, she naturally looked down on Han Li. She didn't like someone like him who was flirtatious and lustful. Especially when her father took him as a closed-door disciple and had high hopes for him, but he didn't strive for improvement and indulged in women. Gongsun Yue was extremely disappointed.
But now, Han Li made Gongsun Yue's heart beat faster.
Han Li's strength is profound. He is a True Martial King standing at the peak of the Profound Domain. He also saved Tianxuan Mountain and seems to have feelings for her.
Moreover, Han Li is handsome and has the type of appearance she likes, which is an additional bonus.
As the renowned Old Ancestor who takes concubines, Han Li knows that now is a good opportunity to capture her heart. Gongsun Yue, who is pure and innocent, has experienced these ups and downs, and her heart is already open to him.
"Sister, do you remember what I said to you before?"
PS: I'm speechless. When I was writing this chapter, a friend messaged me saying that my novel had been copied and pasted onto another platform, with the chapter titles and content being exactly the same.
This is too damn shameless!
