Even, could it be that Zhang Kaitao actually had nothing to do with Master Han, and was just an unlucky scapegoat?
The more they thought about it, the more terrifying it became.
Su Yun, seeing their expressions, felt that it was about time for them to have finished their mental speculations and that it was time to get down to business.
"Patriarch Xiao."
"I'm here, what's the matter, Master Han?"
Xiao Zhan snapped back to his senses and quickly responded.
"Earlier, didn't you mention that you have two sons in the Tallgor Great Desert?"
Su Yun asked Xiao Zhan.
"That's right, I have two children making their way in the Tallgor Great Desert.
They've established a mercenary group called Iron Sand Mercenary Group, and they've made a name for themselves."
Xiao Zhan nodded, recalling that he had mentioned this in passing when Master Han visited the Xiao Family.
Su Yun smiled inwardly.
He had stayed in Wu Tan City long enough; it was time to venture out and see the world.
In at most half a year, he would break through to the Spirit Fighter stage, and with such strength, he would be more than capable of obtaining the Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire.
It was also time to reel in the pieces he had set up within the Xiao Family.
"I received a message from my sect.
In half a year, a Heavenly Pride from the sect will be heading to the Tallgor Great Desert for training.
Since your two children are there as well, it might be beneficial for them to keep an eye out and form a relationship with him."
Su Yun pretended to ponder for a moment, putting on a facade of genuine concern, and said to Xiao Zhan.
Hmm!
Xiao Zhan was taken aback; Master Han actually belonged to a powerful force!
This was something they had never imagined.
They had even entertained the idea of keeping Master Han in the Xiao Family as a guest elder, but it seemed that this was no longer possible.
Xiao Zhan sighed inwardly, then thought about what Su Yun had just said and asked, "Your sect's Heavenly Pride? May I ask if he is your disciple?"
"My disciple?"
Su Yun pretended to be surprised and laughed bitterly.
"I wish! I don't have the qualifications to teach him."
Upon hearing this, the four Xiao Family members present widened their eyes.
Not qualified to teach him?
This simple statement carried a wealth of information.
For them, Master Han, a 4th Rank Alchemist, was already an unattainable existence.
Now, he was saying that he couldn't teach a young man?
The identity and talent of this person were truly terrifying!
Su Yun seemed to notice their shock and smiled bitterly.
"Ha ha, I don't mind you laughing at me. In the sect, I'm just an Outer Sect Executor, a lowly position.
If it weren't for the support of the elders, I wouldn't even be qualified to join the sect."
The four present felt a wave of dizziness, as if their entire worldview had been shattered.
A 4th Rank Alchemist, who would be treated as a distinguished guest anywhere in the Gama Empire, was now saying that he was just an Outer Sect Executor… and that he wouldn't even be qualified to join the sect without the help of an elder?
What kind of terrifying force was this?
"Enough, no need to dwell on the past. I'm not telling you this to make you laugh at me."
Xiao Zhan and the others quickly said they wouldn't dare.
Su Yun waved his hand, indicating that he didn't mind, and continued with the previous topic.
"This Heavenly Pride is quite famous within the sect.
His talent is extremely high, far beyond someone like me. Even a small favor from him would be enough to benefit them for life."
Xiao Zhan had a premonition that this might be a great opportunity for his two children!
"Master Han, could you please share some information about this Heavenly Pride?"
Thinking this, Xiao Zhan hurriedly asked.
"Of course, that's what I intended."
Su Yun smiled knowingly.
The fish had taken the bait.
"This person is named Zhang Xiaofan, extremely young, not even sixteen years old yet.
He wields a black short staff, has an ordinary but clear-cut appearance, and is highly recognizable.
As for his cultivation level…
Well, Heavenly Prides' levels change daily. After so many years, he's definitely at least one major level higher than you."
Su Yun thought carefully before concluding.
The four exchanged glances, each seeing the shock in the other's eyes.
Under sixteen years old, yet one major level higher than them?!
A Spirit Fighter!
A fifteen-year-old Spirit Fighter!
"Alright, put away that naive expression. This is just the normal standard for Heavenly Prides in the sect, and it's quite low, actually."
Su Yun's face showed a look of disdain, as if he were looking at country bumpkins.
The four looked embarrassed and quickly composed their expressions.
"That's all I have to say. Whether your two children can seize this opportunity and form a connection with him is up to them.
I've already broken the rules by telling you this much."
Xiao Zhan quickly expressed his gratitude, feeling somewhat ashamed.
Master Han's kindness to the Xiao Family was too great, and they didn't even know how to repay it.
"Speaking of which, if Xiao Yan hadn't run into that issue, I could have even recommended him to join the sect. What a pity."
As he spoke, a hint of regret flashed across Su Yun's face.
Xiao Zhan's expression also darkened; Xiao Yan's situation was a constant source of pain for him.
"Have you decided what kind of pills you want me to refine?
I will be leaving Wu Tan City in a month, so decide quickly."
Su Yun said to the four.
The four were somewhat taken aback; Master Han was leaving?
Su Yun glanced at them and continued.
"The sect has its rules. I've been out for quite a while, and it's time for me to return.
If it weren't for Xiao Yan, I would have left long ago."
"Because of Yaner?"
Xiao Zhan was puzzled.
"The sect has a rule that anyone who reaches the Martial Practitioner stage before the age of twelve can directly enter the Inner Sect.
Xiao Yan broke through to the Martial Practitioner stage at the age of eleven, and I had already reported this to the sect, intending to lead him in. However, within two months, his combat qi began to dissipate.
I pleaded with the sect, and they instructed me to wait another year. If his talent recovered, he could still enter the Outer Sect for cultivation.
But a year has passed…
I had only taken a one-year leave from the sect, which was extended due to Xiao Yan. Now that his talent hasn't recovered, I must leave.
As an Outer Sect Executor, one of my duties is to travel the continent, find promising talents, and bring fresh blood into the sect.
If I could have brought Xiao Yan into the sect, I would have received a reward from the sect as well."
Su Yun shook his head and explained the whole situation.
So that's how it is.
The four's eyes flashed with understanding.
No wonder Master Han had gone to such lengths to help the Xiao Family and Xiao Yan. Besides gratitude, there was another layer of reason.
At this point, the Grand Elder couldn't help but speak up.
"Master Han, may I ask if my granddaughter, Xiao Yu, can enter the Outer Sect?"
The conditions for entering the Inner Sect were strict, but perhaps the Outer Sect was more lenient?
Su Yun pretended to frown.
"Your granddaughter?"
"That's the girl who served you tea and water earlier."
Xiao Zhan added.
"Oh, her."
Su Yun seemed to understand.
A glimmer of hope appeared on the Grand Elder's face.
"Impossible."
Su Yun said coolly.
The Grand Elder's face froze.
"Even the Outer Sect, though more lenient, is still impossible to enter.
Outer Sect disciples need to reach the Martial Practitioner stage before the age of fifteen. Your granddaughter, though fifteen or sixteen, is only at the Eighth Rank Fighting Qi, which is far too low."
