Hearing this, Han Yue's face flushed slightly, perhaps recalling something.
Seeing Han Yue like this, Han Xue was certain that Han Yue and Xiao Tian had gone out to do something 'bad' last night.
She heard it makes people happy and refreshed, and even improves their skin.
The more Han Xue thought, the more she got lost in her own imagination, and as she thought, her face turned red like a ripe apple.
"Xue'er, snap out of it," Han Yue shook Han Xue a few times before Han Xue escaped from her own world.
"Xue'er, what are you thinking?" Han Yue asked, looking at Han Xue teasingly.
Han Xue came back to her senses and said evasively, "Nothing, I just got a bit too much sun earlier."
Then she pulled Han Yue's hand and hurried outside.
Han Yue glanced around; the weather was indeed clear, but the sun was not particularly strong.
Considering all the circumstances, and having been influenced by Xiao Tian's various 'cultural' teachings, she was not a naive girl, and instantly understood what Han Xue was thinking.
"Little girl, are you thinking something unhealthy?"
"I am not, I did not, you are talking nonsense!!!" Han Xue immediately denied it three times, shaking her head frantically.
"Then why is your face red?"
"I am sunburned, it is just sunburned, never mind…"
The two sisters walked outside, bickering all the way.
Xiao Tian walked slowly and arrived at the Han Family's deliberation hall, where Han Chi was already seated.
"Uncle Han!" Xiao Tian slightly cupped his hands to Han Chi.
"Son-in-law, still calling me uncle?" Han Chi said with a chuckle, stroking his beard.
"Father-in-law!!" Xiao Tian addressed him directly.
"Hahaha, good, good, good!" Han Chi laughed heartily.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two began to get to the main topic.
Xiao Tian looked at Han Chi and said, "I presume Yue'er has already told you about what we need to discuss today?"
Han Chi nodded. "Yes, after the Hong Family was destroyed, Yue'er told me."
"How do you view this matter?" Xiao Tian asked with a smile, looking at him.
"Our Han Family is willing to merge into your Eternal Heaven Divine Palace, and it will be an unconditional merger." An aged voice came from outside.
"Grandfather!!" Han Chi quickly stood up and went to the door to greet the speaker.
An old man in a blue robe walked in, who was none other than Han Fei, the former Great-grandfather of the Han Family and now its Old Ancestor, who had also appeared at last night's banquet.
"Great-grandfather." Xiao Tian, having grown up under the red flag, naturally respected elders and loved the young, so he stood up and cupped his hands.
"Good. I will take full charge of today's discussion. The Han Family will unconditionally merge into your Eternal Heaven Divine Palace and become a part of it."
After Han Fei entered, he sat directly in Han Chi's previous seat, and even repeated his previous words, his voice strong and clear.
Xiao Tian was slightly startled by this, but quickly recovered, thinking to himself with surprise: In the original work, Han Fei rarely appeared, and did not dare to do much even against the Wind Lightning Northern Pavilion. I did not expect him to be so resolute.
"What? Did you not expect our Han Family to do this?" Although Xiao Tian's surprise was fleeting, Han Fei still caught it.
"Indeed, Great-grandfather has great courage!" Xiao Tian smiled slightly, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes, then said seriously, "It is just that the Han Family's decision might be a bit hasty."
Han Fei laughed heartily, patting the rosewood chair beside him. "Although I am old, my mind is not muddled. Not to mention the strength of the Eternal Heaven Divine Palace, just your strength alone is enough for our Han Family to follow."
He looked at Xiao Tian with burning eyes. "After all, the strength of our Han Family is merely that of a slightly larger ant in this vast Central Plains. If it were not for your help, who knows—our Han Family might have been swallowed by the Hong Family, who relied on the Wind Lightning Northern Pavilion."
"Only by relying on a strong enough expert can one survive in this world, and you are that opportunity. Even if you had not brought it up, we would have proposed it ourselves."
Han Fei was very clear that his Han Family could not accommodate a great Buddha like Xiao Tian. He had already had this idea when he first heard that Xiao Tian was a Dou Zun.
Instead of attaching themselves to other forces, choosing Xiao Tian was a more appropriate course of action.
Xiao Tian sighed, thinking that the ancients were right about old people becoming shrewd; this was it—knowing how to seize every opportunity.
"Alright, do not resist in a moment; I will take you to a place."
Xiao Tian waved his hand, and with the two, he disappeared from their original spot, entering the Eternal Heaven Realm.
Neither Han Fei nor Han Chi resisted. It was not about trust or distrust; they simply knew that if Xiao Tian wanted to kill them, he would not need any tricks; he could make them disappear from this world with a flick of his hand.
After entering the Eternal Heaven Realm, both of them widened their eyes, constantly looking at the pavilion-like structures below, which resembled a fairyland, and the several massive cities in the distance.
"Great-grandson-in-law, oh no, Hall Master Xiao, is this a Small World?" Han Fei asked, guessing. After entering here, he felt his Dou Qi slowly flowing within his body, and the energy of heaven and earth here was several times denser than in his cultivation retreat.
He had lived for a long time and had read many ancient books that recorded such things.
Legends said that high-level Dou Sages could create Small Worlds, and it was even rumored that on the Dou Qi Continent, many ancient families lived within Small Worlds.
"That is right!" Xiao Tian then introduced them to this Small World.
The two were stunned for a long time, unable to recover.
Just then, a figure in a blue robe quickly approached Xiao Tian from afar.
"Elder Hai, you have come," Xiao Tian greeted the newcomer.
The newcomer was Hai Bodong, who no longer appeared as an old man but as a middle-aged man, looking very amiable, with the aura of a high-ranking individual.
His cultivation, thanks to the Marrow Cleansing Pill provided by Xiao Tian to change his aptitude, various other pills from Xiao Tian, and the resources of the Eternal Heaven Divine Palace, had already reached the Five-star Dou Zong realm. He seemed to be experiencing a second spring.
His Five-star Dou Zong cultivation was achieved despite him mostly handling affairs and not specifically focusing on cultivation.
"Palace Master!" Hai Bodong came before Xiao Tian and bowed respectfully.
This was Hai Bodong's usual practice; when alone, they interacted like friends, but when outsiders were present, Hai Bodong insisted on using formal titles.
He said it was to maintain the Palace Master's prestige.
"Elder Hai, let me introduce you. This is Yue'er's father, Han Chi, and her Great-grandfather, Han Fei." Xiao Tian nodded to Elder Hai, introducing Han Chi and Han Fei.
Then he patted Hai Bodong's shoulder. "And this is Elder Hai Bodong, our Eternal Heaven Divine Palace's Great-grandfather, and also an elder from the very beginning of the Eternal Heaven Divine Palace's establishment."
"The Eternal Heaven Divine Palace's current development is entirely thanks to Elder Hai; Elder Hai is the pillar of our Eternal Heaven Divine Palace."
