Chapter 1651: Intentionally Seeking Revenge

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Upon hearing Han Xue Nai’s words, Duan Ling Tian frowned. “So he’s intentionally seeking revenge?” He said this because of Han Xin’s identity.

Apart from being the Supreme Elder of Greenwave Han Mansion, Han Xin was also Han Jin Nian’s grandfather. Han Jin Nian was killed by a mysterious powerhouse that was connected to Han Xue Nai’s friend.

“Yes.” Han Xue Nai nodded before she said with a grave expression, “When his grandson, Han Jin Nian, was still alive, Han Xin treated me quite well. It was as though I was his granddaughter. However, since Han Jin Nian died, his attitude toward me has changed. At that time, he had asked me who had brought Sister Fei’er away, but I said I don’t know. Put aside the fact that I really didn’t know, even if I knew, I wouldn’t have told him! Ever since then, he had been cold toward me until that time when he asked me over to his place, and I met the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion.” Han Xue Nai’s expression turned even graver when she reached the end of his sentence.

“I really don’t get it! It’s obvious that Han Jin Nian was seeking death. How dare he plot to lay his hands on Sister Fei’er! He deserves to die. However, Han Xin acts as though Han Jin Nian is innocent. He keeps trying to find the mysterious powerhouse who rescued Sister Fei’er away to seek revenge.” Until now, Han Xue Nai could not wrap her head around this.

“Xue Nai, you’re too naive,” Duan Ling Tian shook his head before he said, “No matter what, Han Jin Nian was his biological grandson, someone of utmost importance to him. It doesn’t matter what Han Jin Nian had done, it doesn’t change the fact that Han Xin is his grandfather. That’s why no matter what evil deeds Han Jin Nian had done, he wouldn’t think Han Jin Nian deserves to die. As the saying goes, ‘Prioritizing righteousness over blood ties is easier said than done,'” Duan Ling Tian said.

“Even if he hates me, he can’t do this! How’s he so sure I’ll agree to marry the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion? What if I’d rather die than submit? That would infuriate the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion and the Rising Sky Mansion. At that time, the Rising Sky Mansion wouldn’t have let the Greenwave Han Mansion go. Don’t tell me the Greenwave Han Mansion is not as important as his grandson?!” Han Xue Nai was indignant.

She could understand Han Xin’s feelings after listening to Duan Ling Tian’s explanation. However, the moment she thought of Han Xin’s disregard of the Greenwave Han Mansion, she became furious.

“Xue Nai, the fact that you’re able to think like this shows that you’ve matured,” Duan Ling Tian nodded before he said, “Naturally, he has thought about all this. However, since things have already developed to this stage, it means Han Jin Nian’s importance has long surpassed the Greenwave Han Mansion in his heart! Moreover, I’m certain he knows you won’t selfishly abandon the Greenwave Han Mansion. You’re the Eldest Young Miss after all. Moreover, your father is the Mansion Master of Greenwave Han Mansion! Although he’s the Supreme Elder, the authority still lies in your father’s hands. The person who’s placed in the most difficult position in the matter of the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion proposing to you is your father. On one hand, he’s the Mansion Master of Greenwave Han Mansion. He needs to consider the overall well-being of the Greenwave Han Mansion. On the other hand, he’s your father. He obviously cares about your happiness. Asking you to marry the notorious Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion is no different from pushing you into a fire pit. From what I can see, he’s a good father. He chose to stand on your side and not submit to the Rising Sky Mansion. For your happiness, he’s willing to fall out with the Rising Sky Mansion!” Duan Ling Tian’s voice was filled with admiration when he spoke.

Perhaps, Han Xue Nai’s father might not be a good leader, but he was definitely a good father.

When Han Xue Nai heard Duan Ling Tian’s words, her eyes brimmed with tears. “F-Father…”

Although she knew about the burden her father had to carry before this, she could feel the difficulties her father faced even more after Duan Ling Tian explained things to her in detail. Remorse immediately filled her heart, and she secretly made up her mind. Duan Ling Tian was, naturally, unaware of it.

“Brother Ling Tian, Little Black, Little White, and Little Gold are in the midst of closed-door cultivation. I’m sure they’ll come out of closed-door cultivation if they know you’re here. Do you want me to speak to them?” Han Xue Nai used her True Energy to dry her tears and forced a smile on her face.

“No, it’s alright.” Duan Ling Tian shook his head. “I’ll meet them eventually. It doesn’t have to be now.”

At this moment, all his thoughts were on Han Xue Nai.

As for Li Fei and his son who had just been born, he was certain they were safe since they were brought away by his cheapskate father’s man. Li Fei and his son were probably reunited with his parents now.

Currently, he was focused on solving the crisis that Han Xue Nai and the Greenwave Han Mansion faced. It would be easy if he only had to help Han Xue Nai since he could just bring her away.

Duan Ling Tian believed the Mansion Master of Greenwave Han Mansion had already proposed this idea to Han Xue Nai but was rejected. The Xue Nai he knew was not someone who would abandon her family and the people of Greenwave Han Mansion for her own sake.

“Brother Ling Tian, previously, Little Gold, the others, and I returned to the Half Moon Island and Cloud Continent, but we couldn’t find you at all… Based on the clues you left on Cloud Continent, we returned to the Dao Martial Saint Land and went to the Moon Illumination Sect. However, the sect has ceased to exist except in name. Where did you go after you left the Moon Illumination Sect?” Han Xue Nai asked.

“The Moon Illumination Sect has ceased to exist except in name?” Duan Ling Tian frowned. He remembered when he left the Moon Illumination Sect, he had only killed a Saint Stage Supreme Elder.

How did the few other Saint Stage powerhouses in Moon Illumination Sect end up this way?

“Yes.” Han Xue Nai nodded. “It’s said that the few Saint Stage powerhouses in the Moon Illumination Sect had disappeared. When news of this spread out, it brought disaster upon the sect.”

Duan Ling Tian finally understood. It was only natural for that to happen if this was the case.

The reason the Moon Illumination Sect could stand in the Nine Sect Alliances’ district and become a seventh-rate sect was mainly due to the few Saint Stage powerhouses.

If the news of the disappearances of all the Saint Stage powerhouses spread out, even those forces who had a close relationship with the Moon Illumination Sect would turn against them to benefit from them, let alone those forces who were not on good terms with the sect.

Although the Saint Stage powerhouses in the Moon Illumination Sect were gone, the huge amount of cultivation resources still existed. This would, naturally, cause greed to rise in the others.

“I wonder why the Saint Stage powerhouses in Moon Illumination Sect would disappear.” Duan Ling Tian was puzzled.

“I wonder how they’re doing now.” After learning that the Moon Illumination Sect had ceased to exist except in name only, he could not help remember the few acquaintances he had made in the sect. He was worried about them.

He responded to Han Xue Nai’s question and told her about how he had gone to Windfall Nation and what had happened there. This included how he had entered the Situ Clan, the conflict with the Dark Nether Sect, how King Qian had invited Lin Dong from the Lin Clan in the Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion to kill him so that he could snatch the Devilseal Tablet away from him.

Xue Nai knew the Devilseal Tablet was in his possession. However, even if Xue Nai did not know, he did not plan to hide it from her any longer.

This was because news of the Devilseal Tablet being in his possession would reach the Greenwave Han Mansion soon enough. Xue Nai would find out about it one way or another.

“The Devilseal Tablet?” Han Xue Nai furrowed her delicate brows when she discovered this had something to do with the Devilseal Tablet.

In fact, the reason she went to Cloud Continent with Qing Nu previously was to search for the Devilseal Tablet. However, Qing Nu could not find it even after searching for it for so many years.

In the end, Han Xue Nai finally learned that the Devilseal Tablet was in her Brother Ling Tian’s possession.

Although she knew about this, she did not reveal it to her father or Qing Nu since she could not guarantee her father and Qing Nu would be able to resist the temptation of the Devilseal Tablet and snatch the tablet from her Brother Ling Tian! If that happened, she would be placed in a difficult position.

One was her Brother Ling Tian, the other was her family.

In order to prevent conflict between her family and her Brother Ling Tian, she decided to hide this information.

“This means news of the Devilseal Tablet being in your possession will soon spread to Greenwave Han Mansion…” Han Xue Nai was worried.

Let alone the powerhouses outside, even their own Greenwave Han Mansion’s people might become greedy if they found out Duan Ling Tian had the Devilseal Tablet with him.

“Don’t worry, Xue Nai. I’ve disguised my appearance and changed my name when I came to the Greenwave Han Mansion.” Duan Ling Tian smiled when he heard Han Xue Nai’s words of concern.

At the same time, he activated the Disguising Secret Tactic, and in just an instant, the muscles on his face began to twitch. A few moments later, it changed into a completely different face. It was the face of an aloof young man.

“Right now, I’m Ling Tian, not Duan Ling Tian,” Duan Ling Tian said.

“Brother Ling Tian, y-you… you…” Han Xue Nai was stunned when she saw the cold and unfamiliar face.

She was not unfamiliar to disguising oneself using props. However, it could be seen through by Spiritual Energy. Duan Ling Tian’s disguise did not look like that kind of low-grade disguise.

She witnessed for herself the changes on her Brother Ling Tian’s face. Her Brother Ling Tian’s face changed in just a blink of an eye to a different and aloof face.

Han Xue Nai curiously reached out and touched Duan Ling Tian’s face, and she could not find any flaws. She did not notice any flaws even when she used her Spiritual Energy.

“T-this is remarkable!” Han Xue Nai exclaimed.
