Just as Xiao Tian and Han Yue were busy with their affairs, Han Chi sat in the patriarch's exclusive courtyard, with several jade boxes given by Xiao Tian placed in front of him.
Han Chi opened all the jade boxes and was immediately stunned. After a while, he slowly picked up a special piece of paper from one of the jade boxes. On it were written the grades and effects of various elixirs.
As he read on, Han Chi felt his throat becoming drier and drier. He swallowed hard, then put the paper back into the box and quickly closed it.
After closing it, he clearly felt his hands trembling slightly, startled by the pleasant surprise.
He could not quite believe what he had just seen inside the jade boxes.
A pile of Grade Six elixirs and several Grade Seven elixirs.
Grade Six was fine; he had seen quite a few himself. But Grade Seven? He had not seen many, let alone possessed any. To get a single Grade Seven elixir, he would have to beg and plead, relying on others' kindness.
He hurriedly put away the jade boxes, scanned his surroundings with his senses, and, finding no one, relaxed.
He quickly headed towards the Han Family's ancestral grounds, even using a movement technique.
Arriving in front of a stone chamber in the Han Family's ancestral grounds, he knocked on the heavy stone door.
This was where Han Fei, the Han Family's Old Ancestor, was in seclusion. For ordinary matters, Han Chi would not dare to disturb him casually. Although Han Fei had already emerged from seclusion tonight, Han Chi still felt a little nervous every time he came here.
"Enter!" A hoarse voice came from inside, and the stone door opened in response.
Han Chi walked in quickly. After he entered, the stone door closed with a boom.
About three breaths later, a gasping sound echoed in the secret chamber. Han Fei's aged hands trembled with excitement as he held the jade box.
Learning that it was refined by his great-grandson-in-law, he became even more excited, muttering, "This is a blessing that even our ancestors' graves smoking green would not achieve."

**Late at night, all was quiet.**
A purple figure quietly sneaked from the adjacent courtyard towards Han Yue's courtyard.
Under the moonlight, the face of the newcomer was revealed to be Han Xue.
At this moment, Han Xue just wanted to see her elder sister and brother-in-law, who had not seen each other for so long, and eavesdrop on what they would talk about.
She had read in storybooks that after a long separation, when they meet, it would be like dry wood meeting a fierce fire, igniting at a touch.
Han Xue arrived at Han Yue's courtyard and found that the lights inside were all extinguished. Her heart also beat rapidly. "Could it be…"
She thought about going back, but her feet honestly continued to walk quietly, even forgetting to breathe.
Only when she arrived outside Han Yue's room did she find that there was no sound inside. She quietly pressed her ear to the wall, but still heard nothing.
She suddenly boldly decided to use her soul sense and found that there was no one inside.
"Strange, there is no one. Did my sister and the others go out?" Han Xue seemed to suddenly think of something, covering her mouth, and thought to herself, *I remember a storybook saying that some people like to go to places where no one frequents. They would not be…*
The more Han Xue thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case; otherwise, how could both of them be gone?
Han Xue hammered her right hand on her left, looking like a brilliant person.

In the early morning, Xiao Tian took Han Yue for a morning exercise before they both walked out of the Eternal Heaven Realm.
Today, both had their own plans.
Han Yue was going to find Han Xue for shopping and girl talk.
She had not been back for several years, so she had to scout out places with Han Xue first. Otherwise, when she brought her other sisters to play later, she would not even know where to go.
Additionally, it was also to test Han Xue's intentions. Although Xiao Tian did not agree last night, at least he did not refuse.
She was truly worried for her younger sister.
As for Xiao Tian, he was discussing future matters with Han Chi. Han Yue had already revealed some things to Han Chi earlier.
She also hoped that the Han Family, like the Mittel Family and the Snake-People Tribe, would directly merge into the Eternal Heaven Divine Palace and become a part of it.
What was the use of being a hegemon of Tianbei City? It was better to merge into the Eternal Heaven Divine Palace. Once the Eternal Heaven Divine Palace was established, they could at least be an elder-level figure.
After a farewell kiss at the courtyard gate, Han Yue sent Xiao Tian a soul transmission. "Are you really not considering it? Double the pleasure, and Xue'er and I look six or seven parts alike~"
Xiao Tian was almost caught off guard by Han Yue's sudden question. He quickly recovered and replied via transmission. "I am the most upright gentleman under heaven. How could I have such thoughts!!"
After speaking, he imperceptibly glanced at a large rock not far away.
The highest realm of a playboy: he only cast the net and bait, then let the fish swim in, and finally, the fish themselves reeled in the net.
"Alright, alright, you go. Important matters first." Han Yue stopped teasing Xiao Tian. What if he pulled her back in for 'military training' later? She helped Xiao Tian straighten his clothes.
Xiao Tian ruffled Han Yue's hair, then headed towards where Han Chi was.
Watching Xiao Tian's receding figure, Han Yue's eyes flickered, wondering what she was thinking. Then she withdrew her gaze, walked to a large rock not far away, and spoke to the back of the rock in an annoyed tone.
"Xue'er, stop hiding. Come out quickly. Is it fun peeking here?"
When she and Xiao Tian were kissing goodbye, Han Xue had already quietly hidden there, peeking.
"Hehe, Sis, what are you talking about? I do not understand. I just happened to be passing by," Han Xue walked out, her hands behind her back, looking unnatural.
"Is that so?"
"Of course!!" Han Xue mentally added to herself, *If we are talking about peeking, I only had that thought last night, and I even acted on it.*
"I was planning to come find you anyway. We agreed yesterday to go out and have fun. What is Xiao Tian going to do?" Han Xue asked Han Yue.
After Han Xue learned Xiao Tian's identity yesterday, when she came out again, it was as if she had made some decision. She no longer called Xiao Tian 'brother-in-law,' but used his given name.
Before knowing his identity, she had always referred to Han Yue's beloved as 'brother-in-law.'
Her behavior, in front of Han Yue, was an open secret—like Sima Zhao's ambition, known to all.
"My junior brother has something to discuss with Father!" Han Yue patted Han Xue's head and walked outside.
"Oh, alright then."
"What? Do you feel wronged going shopping with me?" Han Yue saw Han Xue suddenly pout and said, feigning anger.
She could tell that Han Xue had put on some makeup today, and even her entire outfit and accessories were carefully chosen.
"Of course not! I love shopping with you the most. It is super fun!" Han Xue hugged Han Yue, rubbing her face against hers.
"Sis, why does your skin feel even better? So smooth and tender. Did you secretly eat something?"
