Chapter 63: The Tolerance of the Strong
"...A few days ago, my father was suddenly captured by a mysterious strong man. I am not doubting you, senior. I just want to ask you, do you have any news about my father?"

Han Cheng's expression remained unchanged, but he smiled coldly in his heart. "I don't doubt you, why are you emphasizing it? Isn't it just doubt?"
But... this is in the academy, as a senior, he should be more tolerant of his junior. When you leave the academy, haha, an eighth-grade grandmaster is not someone you, a great fighting master, can question.

"Well, actually, my original intention of going out this time was to hunt a seventh-level monster. But on the way back, I happened to encounter two Soul Palace guardians who were besieging Yunlan Sect."

"If you were to ask who is most likely to do something to your father during this period, it would probably be them."

As he spoke, Han Cheng took out the two jade bottles and released two somewhat illusory souls. The green illusory flames turned into chains and entangled them.

The protectors Wu and Tie, who had not yet figured out the situation, began begging for mercy the moment they saw Han Cheng.

"Don't do it, I'm telling you everything I know!"

"My Lord, if you have any questions, I will tell you everything I know."

Well, the feeling of being on the verge of death during this period has made even the guardian Wu scared.

He was not afraid of Han Cheng's direct attack on him, but he was afraid of this kind of torture that happened every now and then, and the fact that there were accomplices who were not being tortured. This was the most difficult thing to endure.

"Who among you did this to the Xiao family's head in Wutan City?"

"It's him!"

"It's me, it's me!" Guardian Wu nodded quickly, "It was me who did it."

"The mission assigned by the elder asked me to go to the Xiao family to find a piece of jade. I didn't find it, so I took Xiao Yan's father away. This was all the elder's order, and I just did it..."

"Okay, junior brother Xiao Yan, you can ask him any questions you have." As he said that, Han Cheng sent the Wu Protector to Xiao Yan and took the Iron Protector back again.

Looking at Xiao Yan's red eyes, Han Cheng took a sip of tea, made up an excuse, and turned away.

He doesn't bother to care about other people's affairs, unless... he pays more!
A few minutes later, Han Cheng suddenly felt the Green Lotus Core Fire being triggered, and he flashed back to the pavilion.

Looking at Xiao Yan's slightly red and swollen palms, Han Cheng shook his head helplessly and put away the guardian Wu.

After all, it is a soul body at the Dou Zong level and cannot be discarded casually.

"Xiao Yan, why are you doing this?"

"Senior Han Cheng, can I ask you to help me save her?"

“Hey, stop, stop, Junior Brother Xiao Yan. I can’t afford to provoke the behemoth Soul Palace right now, but there is…” Han Cheng glanced at Xiao Xun’er’s eyes and did not utter the word Douluo Saint.

Xiao Xun'er also advised: "Brother Xiao Yan, please don't make things difficult for Senior Han Cheng. The Soul Palace cannot be fought by one person."

"Junior brother Xiao Yan, you don't have to worry about your father's safety. Their target should be the jade. Before they get the jade, they will not do anything to your father. What you need to do most now is to get stronger..." Han Cheng glanced at Xiao Yan and decided to fulfill his responsibility as a senior and enlighten this younger brother.

What? He is not even older than Xiao Yan?
Haha, the one who achieves success comes first, do you understand?
"Yes, Brother Xiao Yan, what the senior said is right. Uncle Xiao will not be in danger until they get the jade." Xiao Xun'er nodded on the side. She knew very well the purpose of the Soul Palace, which was to get the jade. Otherwise, why would they capture a Great Fighting Master?

As a rare animal, should it be exhibited among the Soul Clan? Let them know what a great fighting master looks like?
The blood power of the Xiao family is gone, not even a bit left. What deeper purpose could you have in letting a Dou Zong strongman capture a great Dou Shi? Isn't it just to use him as a bargaining chip?
However, as a person involved in the situation, Xiao Yan was very confused at this moment and could not see things as clearly as a bystander.

That's true. After all, Xiao Zhan is a real father to Xiao Yan and is very important to him. Even though he was in depression for three years, he never gave up on his son. Instead, he loved him even more.

Thinking of this, Han Cheng could not help but think of himself in his previous life who was suffering from a terminal illness. From a rational point of view, he should be abandoned immediately, and let his parents have another child, which is the most correct choice. But from an emotional point of view, the moment he was really abandoned, he could not accept it calmly...

"Xun'er, are you here for that piece of jade as well?" Xiao Yan's sudden question disrupted the thoughts of both people.

Xiao Xun'er was a little overwhelmed, but still shook her head: "Brother Xiao Yan, I..."

"Xun'er, please stop lying to me and tell me the truth, okay?"

"Junior brother Xiao Yan, if you two have anything to say, just go back and talk slowly. I'm not interested in listening to gossip." Han Cheng smiled and waved his hand, interrupting the two people.

When they reached the door, the two stopped.

Xiao Yan smiled bitterly and lowered his head to apologize to Han Cheng: "I'm sorry, senior, Xiao Yan was impulsive today. If I have offended you, please forgive me."

"It's a small matter. Get out of here now. I still need to take a bath." Han Cheng scolded with a smile.

Xiao Yan smiled embarrassedly, took Xiao Xun'er's hand and turned to leave. Xiao Xun'er turned to look at Han Cheng and gave him a grateful look.

Han Cheng shook his head slightly, closed the door, took off his clothes, heated the bath water, and took a bath safely.

"Yeah, it feels good..."

Closing his eyes, Han Cheng slowed down his breathing and slowly sank himself into the bath water.

Half an hour later, Han Cheng stood up, wiped his eyes, then walked out of the bathtub, circulated his fighting spirit to evaporate the excess water.

Wearing a loose fur coat, Han Cheng lay in the rocking chair in the yard, enjoying the sunset.

……

"Brother Xiao Yan, although Xun'er has this mission, don't you know what Xun'er means?"

After returning to her residence, Xiao Xun'er explained sincerely to Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan nodded to Xun'er embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, Xun'er, it's my fault, I was too impulsive!"

"It doesn't matter. As long as Brother Xiao Yan can understand Xun'er, that's enough." Xiao Xun'er smiled happily.

"Xun'er, can you tell me what kind of force the Soul Palace is? Why do you and senior Han Cheng hide it?" Xiao Yan changed the subject and asked Xiao Xun'er curiously.

The smile on Xiao Xun'er's face paused for a moment, but she still shook her head and said, "Brother Xiao Yan, you have to believe that Xun'er is doing this for your own good. The power of the Soul Palace is very strong, and it is not as simple as it seems. Knowing too much now will not be good for you, Brother Xiao Yan. When you break through to the Dou Huang realm, Xun'er will tell you, okay?"

Xiao Yan wanted to ask more, but Yao Lao's voice rang in his mind, so he didn't ask any more.

After saying a few sweet words, the two of them were back to normal again.

Xiao Yan came to the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower to practice, and he asked Yao Lao.

"Teacher, do you know anything about the Soul Palace?"

"Well, because they are the reason why I am like this now."
