Bab 245: Five Years

Eventually, Yan Rui decided to be honest and revealed the truth about the conditions set by Han Cai's elder in the sect. Their options were for their daughter to wait until Han Cai became a grandmaster alchemist or to revert the engagement back to Yan Pengfei and Xu Qiaolian. This made Xu Patraich frown, but he could not do anything. 

The last to visit was the Pei Clan. The Pei patriarch had given a lot of thought and decided that he wanted Han Cai to be engaged to their clan's daughter instead of Xu Qiaolian, as the engagement during the banquet was not confirmed.

The Yan Clan had to give the Pei family the same response they gave to the Xu Clan. The Pei family patriarch was surprised to hear this, but he resolved that if Han Cai became a grandmaster alchemist, he would do everything in his power to build a relationship with the Yan Clan.
