the next day.
Han Zhao opened his eyes, and the sky outside the window was bright and bright.
Waking up early every day has become his habit and he doesn't need anyone to remind him.
Only this time, he woke up from Han Lin's bed.
His own bed was given to Yu Niang.
He sat cross-legged on the bed, preparing to practice health-preserving techniques.
Suddenly, he stopped moving his energy.
Because on the bed separated by a curtain, the voice of Yu Niang murmuring in her sleep could be heard.
It's a bit weird to suddenly have someone around me.
But it doesn’t feel bad.
In this way, Han Zhao kept practicing the health-preserving skills. After a while, he heard the sound of the curtain being gently opened.
Han Zhao opened his eyes and saw Yu Niang lifting a corner of the curtain and looking at him curiously.
"Yes... I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." Yu Niang shrank her neck like a frightened little rabbit and quickly lowered the curtain.
"It's okay." Han Zhao smiled.
After a while, there was the sound of dressing on the other side of the curtain.
"I'm going to make breakfast." Yu Niang got out of bed.
"No, I'll take you out to eat later and get familiar with the surrounding living environment." Han Zhao reminded.
"Yes, Brother Han..." Yuniang said softly.
"Yeah." Han Zhao responded and closed his eyes again.
When the practice was over, Han Zhao put on his coat and found Yu Niang sitting in front of the wooden table in a daze.
"Let's go." Han Zhao waved to her.
"Uh-huh!"
"In the future, you can't let anyone know that you can turn into a bird without my permission, especially not in the city! You don't want to be turned into a dish and eaten, right?" Han Zhao told Yu with a serious expression before going out. mother.
Yuniang turned pale with fright at Han Zhao's words, nodded heavily and said, "I...I will definitely be obedient!"
"Let's go, I'll take you to familiarize yourself with the environment." Seeing her such a big reaction, Han Zhao felt like he was lying to a child and couldn't help but chuckle inwardly.
After leaving the door, the two of them soon arrived at the market in Xinqiaofang.
Yuniang is like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, curiously looking at the dazzling shops on both sides of the street.
Seeing this situation, Han Zhao warned: "By the way, when I am not at home, you should try not to go out alone. If you need to go out to buy something, if you encounter trouble, just report my name. If you dare to mess with me in Xinqiaofang, There are not many people."
"I remember, Brother Han!" Yu Niang looked at Han Zhao with admiration.
"I will take you to get familiar with Xinqiaofang first. If there is something that cannot be solved and I am not here, you can go to the Shanshan Boxing Academy in Yijiangfang, where I practice martial arts." Han Zhao continued: "Also, Don’t go to Heilinfang.”
"Yeah." Yu Niang nodded obediently.
...
After eating, Han Zhao took Yu Niang around again to get familiar with the surrounding environment, and then sent her home.
He himself took the money to find Xu Ling.
But when he arrived at the martial arts hall, he discovered that Xu Ling was not there.
Han Zhao went to Xu Ling's house in the inner city again. When he learned that Xu Ling was entertaining guests at the house, he asked the concierge to announce it and stood waiting at the door.
After a while, the concierge came out and said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Han, my young lady has invited you."
Han Zhao nodded and followed the concierge into the house.
The concierge led Han Zhao to the backyard.
Xu Ling was sitting at the stone table in the middle of the yard drinking tea, and Su Yun was also there.
The stone table was filled with various nuts and exquisite snacks, and two maids stood behind the two women to serve them.
Xu Ling wore a green dress, which perfectly outlined her graceful figure, and her whole body was full of the youthful atmosphere of a girl.
Su Yun was wearing a long purple skirt with the waist lifted to her chest and a short plain silk jacket. She looked rich and noble.
As expected of a rich lady, her living standard is not generally high.
"Miss, Mr. Han is here." The concierge came outside the courtyard and bowed respectfully to Xu Ling.
When Xu Ling saw Han Zhao, his face lit up, he stood up and waved to him, "Junior Brother Han."
Han Zhao stepped forward and said, "Senior Sister Xu."
After saying that, he said hello to Su Yun who was standing aside, "Senior Sister Su."
Su Yun nodded and responded.
"Junior Brother Han, you don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything." Xu Ling looked at Han Zhao teasingly.
She sat down again and patted the stone bench next to her, "What do you want to see me for today? Sit down and tell me!"
"Senior Sister Xu is joking, but I really have something to come to you for." Han Zhao smiled awkwardly.
As he spoke, he glanced at the maid behind the two women.
Su Yundai frowned. Seeing this, Han Zhao wanted to borrow money from Xu Ling again.
Asking for Qingfeng Powder before was already too much, but now it’s time to do it again.
Two hundred taels of silver is enough to name a master of the blood training realm.
It's really too much.
Just as she was about to speak out, Xu Ling beside her had already spoken first.
"Chun Tao, Qiu Ju, you go down first." Xu Ling motioned to the maid behind him to leave.
"Yes, miss." The two maids bowed and then walked out of the courtyard.
At this time, Xu Ling looked at Su Yun.
Seeing this, Su Yun snorted dissatisfiedly and waved her hands at the two maids behind her.
However, there was no movement behind him.
Su Yun turned around and saw her two maids staring directly at Han Zhao.
It’s so embarrassing that you have never seen the world!
"Go down!" Su Yun's face darkened.
"Yes!" The two little maids came to their senses and quickly retreated.
"Junior Brother Han, can we talk now?" Xu Ling said with a smile.
Han Zhao nodded, took out a bulging cloth bag from his arms, and placed it on the stone table.
He opened the cloth bag and found twenty ingots of snowflake silver inside. Each ingot of silver was ten taels, totaling two hundred taels.
"Junior Brother Han, is this?!" Looking at the silver in front of him, Xu Ling raised his head in surprise.
"This is the money I owe you, Senior Sister Xu. According to the market price of Qingfeng Powder and the dosage you gave me, the value should be around two hundred taels." Han Zhao smiled.
"Junior Brother Han, are you really..." Xu Ling looked shocked and quickly realized. No wonder Junior Brother Han wanted the maids to leave.
"Yes, Senior Song successfully killed the evil master of blood training. Thanks to your help this time, Senior Song also gave me a lot of hard work." Han Zhao looked solemn and said seriously: "As for the debt owed Senior sister, you can only repay your favor in the future."
Xu Ling's eyes widened and he was speechless for a moment.
Su Yun couldn't help but look sideways. Although the world was very chaotic and all parties were constantly fighting for their own interests, they were basically limited to Blood Training Realm warriors and below. It was rare to hear of Blood Training Realm warriors fighting to the death.
From what Han Zhao meant, it was clear that the Senior Song he was talking about had single-handedly killed the evil blood-training warrior.
After a warrior reaches the blood training realm, there is a qualitative change, his vitality is greatly enhanced, and he is not so easy to kill.
Although the evil blood warrior was injured, he was good at using poison and would definitely be difficult to deal with.
"Junior Brother Han, I hear what you mean. That Senior Song does not belong to any force. You have a good relationship with him, right?" Su Yun changed the topic. A blood training realm warrior who can kill the same level, if he can Joining the Su family will definitely make Su's business bigger, and her father will have a higher say in the main line in the future.
Just considering that Han Zhao has a better relationship with Xu Ling, even if Senior Song wants to choose a force to serve, the probability of joining the Xu family will be higher.
However, in Su Yun's view, this is not bad, as it can help Xu Ling gain a huge advantage in the fight for the family business.
The Su's Trading Company's business in Black Rock City can't be absorbed by the whole family. If Xu Ling can become the head of the family, with the relationship between the two families, they can become bigger and stronger together.
As soon as Su Yun finished speaking, Xu Ling reacted and looked at Han Zhao expectantly.
Her relationship with her second brother Xu Jin has become extremely bad, and Xu Jin is now targeting her unabashedly.
Unless she can break through to the blood training realm in the next few years, she will definitely end up miserable if she fails to compete for the head of the family.
"Senior Song does not belong to any force, but he currently has no plans to join any force." Han Zhao shook his head.
Unless he exposes himself, Song Que can only do it alone. After all, Song Que and he cannot appear at the same time.
Otherwise, he would be willing to help Xu Ling.
When his Duanyue Sword Technique breaks through to the level of blood training, he will be able to officially help Xu Ling, which won't take long.
"I hope Senior Sister Xu and Senior Sister Su can help me keep this secret. Senior Song doesn't want to be disturbed."
Han Zhao added.
Of course, it doesn't matter even if he is exposed.
But it would be best to expose it later.
Although Xu Ling was a little disappointed, seeing Han Zhao's serious expression, he said sternly: "Don't worry, I will keep the secret."
As she said that, she glanced at Su Yun.
"Don't worry, I'm not a big talker." Su Yun rolled her eyes.
"Thank you." Han Zhao cupped his fists and saluted, and then said, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
"Junior Brother Han..." Xu Ling's pink lips opened slightly.
She also wanted to ask Han Zhao to sit down and have a cup of tea, but Han Zhao had already left the yard quickly.
After Han Zhao left, Su Yun picked up a piece of silver on the table and brought it to her eyes. Looking at the official seal at the bottom of the silver, she couldn't help shaking her head and laughing.
"How is it?" Xu Ling had a smile on his face.
"It seems that I was looking through the cracks in the door and looking down on Junior Brother Han." Su Yun did not speak harshly and admitted it generously.
"Let me just say that Junior Brother Han is a man of his word!" Xu Ling raised his face with a proud look on his face.
"Okay, okay, it's me who has no vision." Su Yun teased and said, "Your junior brother Han is the best!"
"What are you talking about?! What about me..." Xu Ling's cheeks turned red.
"correct."
Su Yun seemed to have thought of something. She called the maid in, and then whispered instructions in the maid's ear.
"Su Yun, what do you want to do? You won't tell Junior Brother Han's secret, right?" Xu Ling blinked.
"Wow you! This is the kind of person I am in your eyes, right?"
"No, I'm just a little worried, so..."
"You still say no? Let's see if I don't punish you!" Su Yun stood up and touched Xu Ling's chest, then put her hand into her dirty clothes.
"Oh, what are you doing - itchy~ I was wrong, I was wrong!" Xu Lingjiao begged for mercy.
The two quarreled for a while, and the maid returned to the yard. Seeing Xu Ling's disheveled clothes and red face, she couldn't help but look sideways.
Su Yun sat upright on the stone bench and said calmly: "How is it?"
"Miss, this is indeed the case."
The maid bowed and presented a piece of paper with both hands.
Su Yun opened it, looked at it, and then handed the note to Xu Ling.
Xu Ling took the note. On it was Song Que's portrait, and there was a line of small words next to it.
Song Que: A registered sword catcher, an outsider who practices blood realm martial arts. He is in his early thirties. He is good at swordsmanship and swordsmanship. The chief arrester Wu Feiyi commented that his strength is unfathomable, and he is suspected of having a second Qi and blood breakthrough!
"Junior Brother Han is not simple!" Su Yun couldn't help but sigh.
This Song Que has an extraordinary bearing just by looking at his appearance. It is indeed extraordinary for Han Zhao to have a good relationship with such a master.
If Han Zhao breaks through to the blood training realm one day, or if Song Que joins the Xu family, then Xu Ling's act of "giving help in times of need" will really be regarded as a huge gain.
Of course, that hasn't happened yet.
No one can predict the future events in advance.
It was just Han Zhao's behavior of keeping his promise today that made her doubt her vision for the first time.
