Master's Request

Upon hearing this, Han Li looked up and saw that the person who had come was Li Yunfan, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Senior brother, what are you doing here? Are you here to pay your respects to Master as well?"

"My master summoned me; it seems he has something for me to do," Li Yunfan explained with a smile.

At this moment, Song Meng also came over and said to Han Li with a smile, "Junior Brother Han, Master is entertaining some guests. Please wait outside for a while!"

Han Li nodded, then stood with Li Yunfan and Song Meng. With Han Li's addition, Song Meng became even more talkative.

After the three chatted for a while, the tightly closed door of Li Huayuan's house suddenly opened, and several male and female cultivators walked out.

Upon seeing this, the three quickly split up to the left and right, standing timidly on either side!

Li Huayuan spotted Han Li at a glance, but didn't pay much attention to him. After all, this disciple would come to pay his respects almost every time. The other Core Formation cultivators merely glanced at the extra Foundation Establishment mid-stage cultivator.

However, one of the tall, veiled female cultivators suddenly stopped in her tracks upon seeing Han Li, a strange look flashing in her eyes.

"Has Fairy Nangong ever seen my little disciple?"

Upon noticing the woman's unusual behavior, Li Huayuan couldn't help but ask in surprise. The other cultivators also noticed the woman's unusual behavior and looked at her with similar expressions of surprise.

Upon hearing Li Huayuan's words, Li Yunfan couldn't help but secretly glance up. Because the other party was wearing a veil, he couldn't see her true face, but even so, her perfect figure and aloof temperament still made him admire her and feel somewhat envious of Han Li's good luck.

Glancing at Han Li beside him, he saw that Han Li's expression remained calm and couldn't help but marvel at his composure.

"No, it's just that your disciple looks somewhat similar to an old friend of mine." The strange light in Nangong Wan's eyes quickly disappeared, and she spoke with her eyes regaining their coldness.

"That's quite a coincidence!"

Li Huayuan simply smiled and said something, then stopped dwelling on it and continued to see the Core Formation cultivators off.

After the seven people left, the smile on Li Huayuan's face gradually faded. He glanced at Han Li and said with a slight frown.

"Come in with me, I have something to ask you. Yun Fan, come in too!"

Upon hearing this, Han Li inwardly groaned, while Li Yunfan secretly chuckled to himself.

After the two entered the house, Li Huayuan sat down and began to question Han Li, who then told him the story he had just prepared.

Although he didn't know whether Han Li was telling the truth or not, seeing that Han Li was clear-headed and spoke clearly, and did not seem to be bewitched, Li Huayuan felt slightly relieved.

After reminding Han Li, he turned to Li Yunfan and said, "Yunfan, the task I asked you to do is not dangerous. It's just to protect my family's safety temporarily."

Li Yunfan naturally knew what it was about, but he still had to pretend he didn't understand.

"Whom are you protecting?"

"He is the descendant of one of my former senior brothers. He saved my life, but his descendants are mortals without spiritual roots and can only live in the secular world. I made a vow after my senior brother passed away to ensure the safety and prosperity of his descendants. Therefore, for more than a hundred years, I have been secretly supporting and helping them."

Li Huayuan paused after speaking, and then continued.

"I received news recently that the six sects of the Demonic Path might send some low-level disciples to infiltrate the mortal world of this country, preparing to purge the mortals secretly supported by our seven sects, in order to cut off the mortal world's supply of common raw materials to the seven sects. And the relationship between this family and me is likely to become a target of the Demonic Path, which is why I wanted to send you to protect them. Of course, it would be even better if no one from the Demonic Path caused trouble."

After listening, Li Yunfan frowned at first, then cupped his hands and said solemnly.

"Master, it would be better to entrust this matter to Junior Brother Han. Master is currently on the battlefield, and this disciple truly does not wish to abandon you. Please grant my request!"

Upon hearing this, Li Huayuan felt a surge of warmth in his heart, but he still shook his head and said...

"I appreciate your kindness. However, you have been in Jingu Plain for a year now, and you have accumulated quite a few merits during this time. Even if you leave, no one will say anything about you. Moreover, you are my personal disciple, and I can feel more at ease entrusting the task of protecting my senior brother's descendants to you."

"As Master's personal disciple, it is even more impossible for me to abandon Master and leave alone! Junior Brother Han is always reliable in his work, so please leave this matter to Junior Brother Han!" Li Yunfan said again upon hearing this.

He naturally couldn't agree so easily, and the reason he refused several times was actually quite simple: he wanted Li Huayuan to agree to go together.

Han Li stood silently by, watching his elder brother's performance.

Although he didn't know why Li Yunfan did this, he believed that the other party must have his own reasons!

Li Huayuan frowned. His disciple would never refuse him like this on ordinary days. Why was he being so disrespectful to him today?

Suddenly, he glanced at Han Li beside him, a look of realization flashing in his eyes, and he couldn't help but curse Li Yunfan for being shameless.

"Alright, all you've said is to get Han Li to go with you, right?"

Li Yunfan chuckled, a sheepish expression on his face.

Li Yunfan shook his head and sighed, then asked Han Li if he was willing to go with him. Han Li was naturally willing, after all, who would be foolish enough to refuse a chance to leave the battlefield?

"Well, although your departure at the same time will cause dissatisfaction among some people, fortunately, Han Li's military achievements are also quite good, so it can be explained."

After Li Huayuan finished speaking, he took out a letter and a jade slip from his body, handed them to Li Yunfan, and then said again.

"This letter is addressed to the current head of this family. It explains your identity and is the only person who knows about me and my ancestors. The jade slip contains the family's address and other detailed information. Take these with you and set off first thing tomorrow morning!"

"Yes, sir!" Li Huayuan and Han Li bowed simultaneously and replied in unison.

Early the next morning, Li Yunfan and Han Li left Jingu Plain and flew towards Yue Capital, the capital of Yue Kingdom.

However, on the way, at Han Li's suggestion, the two changed their route and headed to Yuanwu Kingdom. After Han Li arrived at Jingu Plain and saw Li Yunfan, he told him about discovering the damaged ancient teleportation array.

The two have become sworn brothers, and their friendship is very deep. Except for the little green bottle, which Han Li does not intend to tell the other party, he can share almost everything else with him.

This is also because Li Yunfan helped Han Li several times, and his sincerity was rewarded with sincerity.

Although friendship is unreliable in the cultivation world when faced with self-interest, this does not mean that everyone is like that. In the vast cultivation world, there are still some people who have pure hearts and treat their friends sincerely.

At least in Han Li's eyes, Li Yunfan was such a person, and he thoroughly enjoyed this feeling of mutual trust. He didn't know what the future held for the two of them, but at least for now, there were no barriers or secrets between them.

Besides the little green bottle!

However, everyone has a little secret they keep to themselves, and Li Yunfan also concealed the fact that he was reborn!
