"Ah, what father said was 'Mo'er is the hope of our Han family and the savior of the future'."
"Not bad." Han Lin stroked his beard and nodded, "I had high hopes for Mo'er, and look at what you have done."
"Father, aren't you exaggerating a bit? Although our Han family is in a difficult situation now, it is not a crisis. How can we talk about a savior?
Besides, I asked Moer to do this to protect him and the Han family at the same time."
This is also what Han Feiyu has never understood. In fact, although the old marquis did not give Han Mo a good look just now, he did not dislike Han Mo. On the contrary, he regarded him very seriously.
It was normal for a grandfather to take a fancy to his grandson, but Han Feiyu always felt that Han Lin's regard for Han Mo was not the kind of regard between relatives.
Han Mo naturally did not dare to interrupt the conversation between the two elders, and just listened quietly at the side.
Hearing Han Feiyu say this, he couldn't help but frown.
Just at this moment, a hearty laugh suddenly sounded outside the hall.
"Hahahaha, I heard that the old marquis returned today, so I brought my family to visit him!"
After hearing this voice, the father and son stopped chatting.
Han Feiyu frowned, and immediately sent a message to Han Lin with some doubt:
"Father, why is this old man Jun Tianya here?"
"I guess he has also received the news of the special envoy's arrival and wants to come over to test the envoy's attitude."
"It is indeed possible. After all, in Yifeng City, besides you, my father, there is only one Yuanying cultivator, Jun Tianya. It is not impossible for him to know the news of the special envoy's arrival."
After the father and son had such a brief exchange, Han Lin sat in the main seat motionless, while Han Feiyu put on a warm smile and stood up to greet him in person.
"Oh, Master Jun, why did you come without telling me so that I could personally prepare a car to welcome you?"
"Oh, I am old and I dare not trouble my nephew Feiyu, haha!"
The person who came was an old man with white hair and beard and a kind face. Behind him followed a middle-aged couple and a young woman.
As soon as they stepped into the main hall, Han Mo was stunned. He didn't know the old man, but the middle-aged man and woman looked a little familiar to him, but he couldn't remember who they were.
However, the beautiful young woman behind the middle-aged man and woman is an old acquaintance.
It turned out to be Jun Ruohan!
"Old Marquis, I am here to show my respect."
As soon as Laozi entered the hall, he bowed to Han Lin who was sitting in the main seat. The middle-aged men and women and the young woman behind him respectfully performed the salute of juniors.
"Jun Tianya, you and I are old acquaintances. There's no need to be so formal. Please take a seat."
Although he said they were old acquaintances, Han Lin did not stand up to return the greeting, but just nodded slightly.
Obviously, the relationship between the two is not as close as they say.
The old man didn't care about this. After all, Han Lin, Marquis of Yifeng, was the number one Nascent Soul in Tianhai Continent, and he was just an early Nascent Soul. Naturally, he didn't dare to expect the other party to stand up and return the greeting.
After getting Han Lin's approval, the old man with white hair and beard took his family to sit down. When he passed by Han Mo, he glanced at him and immediately smiled and said:
"Oh, Mo'er has grown up so much. The last time we met, he was still a little kid asking me for candy!"
"Mo'er, this is the old man of the Jun family in Yifeng City, and also the old patriarch of the Jun family, Jun Tianya."
Han Feiyu also introduced it to Han Mo at the right time.
"Meet Old Master Jun!"
After hearing this name, Han immediately understood.
Jun Tianya, the old patriarch of the Jun family in Tianhaizhou, is also a cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage.
The Jun family runs all the large and small cultivation markets in Tianhai Prefecture. They are financially strong and have a good background.
It is said that the Jun family was originally a branch of a powerful merchant alliance in Linyuan Prefecture, east of Tianhai Prefecture, close to the Endless Sea. Due to internal conflicts and disagreements in the merchant alliance, they fled to Linyuan Prefecture and eventually settled in Tianhai Prefecture, where they created a huge foundation.
Because the cultivation method of the Jun family is closely related to human desires, the members of the family are full of desires for material things such as spirit stones, and the family also started out as a business.
Of course, if you want to do business in this world of cultivating immortals, it is unlikely to work without some background and strength.
Fortunately, the Jun family is the only family among the cultivation families in Tianhai Prefecture, except for the Han family, that has a Nascent Soul master.
Also, because he focused on business and remained neutral to the outside world, he had almost no conflicts of interest with the six sects or the Yifeng Marquis Mansion.
Therefore, over the years, the six sects and the Han family have tacitly accepted the existence of the Jun family.
Han Mo was naturally very clear about the background information in the game.
However, the Jun family, which has always maintained neutrality towards the outside world, specially visited the Marquis' Mansion at this moment, saying that they wanted to pay a visit to the old Marquis. This surprised Han Mo and he couldn't help but guess the purpose of the Jun family's visit.
However, he did not notice that while greeting Jun Tianya, the young and beautiful woman behind him kept staring at him.
Jun Ruohan subconsciously revealed an obsessed smile at the corner of her mouth, but her heart was very excited:
"Han Mo, you damned evil young man, I finally see you. After today, I, Jun Ruohan, will be your prisoner, hehehe~!"

"Old Marquis, you are not often in Yifeng City, and we haven't seen each other for several years. Today, I heard that you have returned, so I came here to reminisce with my old friend."
After the Jun family members sat down, Jun Tianya quickly bowed to Han Lin, who was sitting in the main seat, and said politely.
"Old friend, I'm afraid you came here not just to reminisce about the past!"
Jun Tianya seemed to be planning to say a few polite words, but Han Lin didn't give him the chance and went straight to the point.
"Ahahahaha, the old marquis is still quick to speak. Yes, I came here this time to ask for a favor."
"What's the matter?"
"Old Marquis, this is Jun's granddaughter - Jun Ruohan. You also saw her when she was a child. Han'er, why don't you come and pay your respects to the old marquis."
Jun Tianya did not directly state his purpose, but pushed Jun Ruohan, who was standing behind him, to the front.
Naturally, the Han family members had no idea what the old man from the Jun family was planning.
"Hello, Grandpa Han. Grandpa Han, do you still remember Han'er? You taught me the Qi Refining Method when I was a child!"
"Oh? It's you. I remember now. You have an older sister, right? The little girl back then has grown up so big!"
He glanced at the graceful girl in front of him, and listened to her call in a neither humble nor arrogant, but very cordial manner.
Even Han Lin, who usually had a stern face, couldn't help but smile, obviously remembering something from the past.
"The old marquis also thinks it's good, right? Speaking of which, Han'er was able to win the first place in the Ascension Conference this time, thanks to the old marquis' teaching her the Qi Refining Method since she was a child, which brought her into the door."
Jun Tianya seemed to be complimenting Han Lin, but in fact he revealed an important piece of information, which was information that Han Lin had just returned and had not had time to learn.
"First place in the Ascension Conference?"
"Father, at this Six Sects Ascension Conference, Jun Ruohan defeated all the heroes with his foundation building skills and won the first place, becoming the leader of the younger generation in our Tianhai Province."
As expected, Han Lin was indeed not aware of the news, and Han Feiyu explained on the side.
It would have been fine if Han Feiyu hadn't explained. Once he did, Han Lin immediately raised his eyebrows. Even someone like him couldn't hide a hint of surprise:
"Oh? If I remember correctly, this girl should be one year younger than Mo'er. She has successfully established her foundation at such a young age.
This girl is really amazing!"
It is indeed as Han Lin said. At the age of 19, he was able to successfully build a foundation. Not to mention Tianhaizhou, even in the imperial capital or the five major holy places, he is considered a genius.
"My old Lord, you are too kind. Han'er is actually a stubborn girl. She is completely focused on cultivation and is not interested in anything else.
Sometimes we, as elders, really worry about her future.”
"Hey, as a cultivator, if we don't put cultivation first, what else can we put first? Han'er is a good girl. She is young and promising, and her future is limitless!"
Jun Tianya said so, but was quickly refuted by Han Lin, who did not hesitate to praise him.
You know, there are not many people in the entire Tianhai Continent who can get praise from Han Lin, and Jun Ruohan obviously got his recognition.
As the saying goes, the real purpose will be revealed when the truth is revealed. Seeing that Han Lin did not show much disgust, Jun Tianya felt that the time was almost right, so he coughed lightly and slowly told his real intention:
"Since the old marquis also thinks this girl is good, and the old marquis and I are old acquaintances, why don't we form a Qin-Jin friendship? It will be a good story if it gets out."
When these words were spoken, many people in the Han family looked surprised.
Obviously, they did not expect that the purpose of the old man from the Jun family's visit this time was to form an alliance with their Han family through marriage.
"what?"
Han Mo was also surprised. Obviously, this was beyond his expectations.
Wait, isn't Jun Ruohan Yan Xiao's fiancée? Even though she broke off the engagement long ago.
But if I remember correctly, according to the plot in the game, after Yan Xiao severely slapped Jun Ruohan in the face at the Ascension Conference, he gradually became successful and became the most dazzling genius cultivator in the entire Tianhai Province and even the entire Da Zhou.
Jun Ruohan was also ridiculed for being blind, and ended up never marrying and living alone until her death.
What about the promise of never getting married?
Although Han Mo knew that it was Jun Ruohan who defeated Yan Xiao at the Ascension Conference and the plot had long been changed, he still didn't expect why the Jun family would come to the Han family for marriage.
Han Lin and Han Feiyu, however, frowned. Even though Jun Tianya made his request readily, they had to wonder if this old man was up to some other trick.
After all, with Han Mo's notoriety and the fact that the Jun family had maintained a neutral position for many years, they had no reason to propose a marriage to the Marquis's Mansion.
"Fei Yu, what do you think about this matter..."
"Father, this matter may be suspicious, so we need to be careful. However, if the Jun family really wants to form an alliance, it would not be a bad thing!
After all, the current situation of my Han family is not optimistic. If we can get help from a family like the Jun family that has a Nascent Soul cultivator, it may be able to alleviate our predicament. "
Just as the two heads of the Han family were discussing, Han Cheng's voice suddenly came from outside the hall:
"My Lord, Patriarch, City Lord Yan is here."
As soon as Han Cheng finished speaking, a burst of strong laughter came from outside the door:
"Hahaha, I learned that the old marquis returned today, so I came to visit him today. I didn't expect to see the Jun family proposing marriage!"
Along with this loud and powerful laugh, a burly middle-aged man with red hair soon strode into the main hall, followed by a red-haired boy of ordinary appearance.
"Yan pays respects to the old marquis. This is your son Yan Yucheng. Yucheng, why don't you pay respects to the old marquis?"
The person who came was none other than Yan Sihai, the lord of Yifeng City who was appointed by the new emperor of the Great Zhou two years ago.
