220. A Betting Battle Between Two Companies
"Oh?" Han Lin's generosity also piqued Little Fairy Doctor's interest.
Han Lin quickly chimed in, "My Han family is a family that can be called the law in Tianbei City. Please feel free to ask if you have any requests, young lady."
"You also have the medicinal materials needed to refine seventh-grade pills?"
"A... seventh grade? What do you need a seventh grade pill for, young lady?" Han Lin was also taken aback by Little Fairy Doctor's question, after all, a seventh grade pill was of extraordinary significance even to the Han family.
"Sister, don't mind him. I'll take you to the Han family first. We can talk about the medicinal herbs later."
Little Fairy Doctor simply nodded and stopped asking questions. Spurred on by Little Fairy Doctor's words, Han Lin was too embarrassed to speak any further along the way. The group arrived directly at a magnificent manor in Tianbei City.
The Han family is located in the south of Tianbei City, while the Hong family occupies the north.
These two families are like the two rulers of this city, dividing it into two distinct halves. Of course, there are other small forces in the city, but compared with the Han and Hong families, they are insignificant and can only survive in the cracks, like floating creatures, looking up at the two behemoths in the city.
However, when Xiao Yan and his group arrived at the Han family's gate, they noticed that the guards looked rather grim.
In front of the Han family's gate, there was another group of people, all wearing red badges on their chests.
People from the Hong family!
Han Xue and Han Lin's expressions both changed. While directing the moving of the convoy's goods, Han Xue asked the guards at the gate and learned that the Hong family had come directly to the Han family to provoke them. The leader was Hong Chen, the genius of the Hong family who had been accepted as a disciple by the Fenglei Pavilion!
Having learned the details, Han Xue unconsciously turned her gaze to Xiao Yan, Little Fairy Doctor, and Lin Yan.
Xiao Yan naturally understood Han Xue's meaning and nodded, saying, "Lead the way, let's go take a look!"
When Xiao Yan and his group arrived at the Han family's reception room, they found that the room was divided into two distinct groups of people. All the members of the Hong family wore red badges on their chests, representing their identities.
"Hong Chen, do you think that joining the Fenglei Pavilion means you can act with impunity?" A middle-aged man in a brocade robe said in a deep voice in the hall.
The middle-aged man's features resembled Han Xue's, and he was Han Chi, the current head of the Han family!
"Uncle Han, you flatter me. I've only come to visit my fiancée."
Standing before the Hong family members was Hong Chen, the young master of the Hong family, dressed in a blue robe. As soon as Xiao Yan entered the hall, he sensed that Hong Chen's aura likely possessed the strength of a seven-star Dou Huang. Even in the entire Northwest Region, someone of his age was no weaker than Yang Lingyan, belonging to the top tier of the younger generation. However, in the Central State, he was merely the young master of a family. Xiao Yan couldn't help but marvel once again at the power of the Central State!
Han Chi also snorted coldly: "I have said many times that Xue'er and Yue'er are not willing to marry you. Moreover, there has never been a case in my Han family where two women share one husband."
"What about inner disciples of the Wind and Thunder Northern Pavilion? Do they have that opportunity?"
As soon as Hong Chen finished speaking, the expressions of the many Han family members in the hall turned abnormal, especially Han Chi's, which looked extremely ugly. In recent years, the Hong family had established a connection with the Fenglei Pavilion through Hong Chen's influence, and their development speed was unmatched by the Han family.
Hong Chen became an inner disciple of the Fenglei Beige, which changed his status significantly. Once he became an inner disciple, it meant that the Fenglei Beige would become a force that the Hong family could rely on to some extent!
That's not someone the Han family can afford to offend!
Hong Chen looked at the Han family members who were now silent and showed a satisfied expression. The reason he came to the Han family in person was to use this bombshell news to put pressure on them!
"Or perhaps..." Hong Chen's expression remained nonchalant, "should I ask the Northern Pavilion Master to personally propose marriage?"
The more indifferent Hong Chen appeared, the greater the pressure felt by the Han family. Although they knew the Pavilion Master of Fenglei Beige wouldn't intervene because of Hong Chen, it also meant that Hong Chen could influence some of Fenglei Beige's power to a certain extent. This power might not be significant to Fenglei Beige, but it was something the Han family simply couldn't withstand!
"Three days from now, at the Heavenly Stone Platform in the city, as long as your Han family can find someone among your peers who can defeat me, regardless of whether that person is from your Han family or not, my Hong family will not cause you any trouble for the next ten years. Of course, if you fail, Han Xue and Han Yue will be mine! How about it?" Seeing the Han family members' faces change drastically, Hong Chen laughed loudly and then said.
"Alright, my Han family accepts. However, if I lose, I will marry you, but my sister cannot!" Finally, when everyone in the Han family was speechless, a clear and cold voice replied.
The person who answered looked to be no more than twenty-four or twenty-five years old, with a beautiful face, her silver hair casually tied up, and her temperament as elegant as the moon!
"It's alright, marrying Miss Han Yue first is the same. So it's settled then. See you in three days!" With that, Hong Chen left with the rest of the Hong family, satisfied.
After the Hong family left, Han Chi looked troubled and asked Han Yue, "Yue'er, are you confident?"
Han Yue gritted her teeth, shook her head, and said, "Hong Chen probably already has the strength of a seven-star Dou Huang. With the addition of the fighting techniques from the Fenglei Beige, I'm afraid I'm no match for him."
"Then why are you doing this to yourself?"
"Let's not worry about anything else for now. We can't let this guy affect Xue'er. Hong Chen is basically pushing us to the brink of destruction. We need to catch our breath in these few days."
Han Chi nodded, but his daughter's excessive maturity made him, as a father, feel particularly guilty.
"In the next few days, I will use the full strength of the clan to recruit young geniuses, and we must not let Hong Chen have his way."
Han Yue nodded in agreement upon seeing her father's expression, but both of them understood that Hong Chen was already a Seven-Star Dou Huang, with few rivals among the younger generation. Even if there were, given the immense influence of the Hong family, they might not be willing to act on behalf of the Han family.
"No need to look anymore, I've brought the most suitable candidate." A clear and melodious voice came from outside the hall. Everyone looked up and was delighted to see Han Xue running in.
"You silly girl, you're finally back. But you don't need to meddle in things here." Han Chi looked at Han Xue with a doting smile. Han Chi was most proud of his two daughters, who were both exceptionally beautiful and talented.
"Father, sister, I've found someone who can defeat Hong Chen!"
