Battle Through the Heavens: I Am the Righteous Path

Chapter 725: Xiao Yan, who doesn't put on airs

Tianbei City, Han family, a group of Han family caravans that were ready to set off at any time stopped at the gate and waited, led by Han family's second daughter Han Xue and Han family's ancestor Han Chi.

Soon, Han Chi and Han Xue saw Han Yue returning from the front, and were stunned when they saw Xiao Yan and Gu Qinghan standing up and following them. Han Xue raised her hand and greeted them with joy on her face.

"Xiao Yan! Long time no see!"

"Xue'er, don't be rude!" Han Chi immediately scolded her upon seeing this, and then came to Xiao Yan and bowed his hands to greet him, "Master Xiao Yan, I hope you won't blame me for my granddaughter being so rude."

Han Chi is not as careless as Han Xue. Who is Xiao Yan now? The only executor recognized by all forces of Tianhe League. Even everyone knows very well that on the surface, Yun Ying of the Yun family is the leader of the league, but in fact, Xiao Yan is the real leader of Tianhe League.

And what about his Han family? It was just a small family that didn’t even have the qualifications to enter the Tianhe Conference. Although it was considered a big family in Tianbei City, it was nothing in front of Xiao Yan.

At the same time, Han Chi was secretly sighing in his heart. In just a few years, the young man he had protected before has grown into a big man whom he can only look up to. It is really unpredictable.

Seeing Han Chi bowing to him to apologize, Xiao Yan quickly reached out his hand to help him up and said softly.

“Master Han, please don’t be so respectful. I, Xiao Yan, am not such a noble person. I was fortunate enough to obtain such an identity thanks to the kindness of everyone in the Tianhe League. Your attitude is really embarrassing for me.” Xiao Yan looked at Han Xue behind Han Chi and chuckled, “When I first came to Zhongzhou, if it weren’t for Miss Han Xue’s help, I’m afraid Xiao Yan would have been lost in the wilderness for a long time. Xiao Yan has always remembered this.”

"Alright, your pretentious attitude hasn't changed at all." Han Yue crossed her arms helplessly, and then looked at Han Chi, "Grandpa, you should relax a little. Xiao Yan is not the kind of person who likes red tape. Just treat it normally like before."

Hearing what his eldest granddaughter said, Han Chi said nothing but smiled helplessly in his heart. His two granddaughters really had no taboos. This was only the case with Xiao Yan. If it were someone else of such a high status, seeing that the other party had such a casual attitude, even if they didn't say anything on the surface, they might try to trip you up behind your back.

Han Chi has been in the business for so many years and has seen too many people like this.

But Han Chi could also clearly feel that Xiao Yan was completely different from those hypocritical people before. He really didn't think of himself as noble, otherwise he wouldn't have said what he just said.

This kind of mentality is really rare in the world. Ordinary people who reach Xiao Yan's position are basically arrogant, at least they will not take small families like theirs seriously.

"Ahem~ Since Xiao Yan said so, I won't be so reserved." Han Chi said this after coughing twice. Seeing that Xiao Yan didn't look unhappy, he really relaxed. "Then Xiao Yan, you and Han Yue came here this time. Is there something important?"

"You can say whatever you want. As long as it is something that my Han family can do, we will definitely help."

Han Chi had just finished speaking and Xiao Yan was about to speak when Han Xue came up from behind Han Chi, glanced at Xiao Yan and Han Yue with shining eyes, and said excitedly.

"I saw that you and my sister have a very good relationship before. Are you here to propose marriage?!"

Han Xue's face was full of excitement. This idea was not groundless. Xiao Yan and Han Yue had known each other for a long time and they seemed to have a good impression of each other. With Xiao Yan's current transcendent status, there was nothing he could ask for from the Han family. After much thought, Han Xue thought that the only thing she could think of was proposing marriage.

When these words were spoken, everyone present was stunned. Han Chi was even more nervous, staring at Xiao Yan and Han Yue closely.

Although he knew at first glance that this was definitely not the case, what if it was?
Han Chi had a good impression of Xiao Yan since they first met. After Xiao Yan said goodbye, he secretly sighed that he already had a wife, otherwise he might have hoped for further development between Han Yue and Xiao Yan.

However, Han Chi has received news in recent years that Xiao Yan seems to have more than one wife? In this case, doesn't his granddaughter still have a chance?
Where can you find such a perfect grandson-in-law with strong ability, good background and good personality?

Just as Han Chi was daydreaming, Han Yue was the first to react. Her face was full of shame and anger. She came to Han Xue with clenched fists and smashed them on her head in front of Han Xue's horrified gaze.

Boom!
"What are you thinking about every day, girl? I'm just following us to the Black Horn Region!"

Han Yue roared at Han Xue who was wailing with her hands covering her head, and then looked at Xiao Yan somewhat embarrassedly.

"Sorry, Xiao Yan, this girl just likes to talk nonsense."

"It's okay, don't worry about it, I didn't take it seriously."

Xiao Yan smiled and waved his hands, indicating that he really didn't take it to heart. Han Yue couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he saw this scene, and his eyes dimmed a little, but she recovered in just a moment.

Han Yue would be lying if she said she wasn't attracted to such an outstanding man. However, Xiao Yan's attitude towards her was 100% just that of a senior student, and at most a good friend of Xiao Yu. Apart from that, the two of them really didn't have any more interactions, and there probably wouldn't be any more after this time.

Speaking of Xiao Yu
Han Yue frowned, no longer thinking about what had just happened, and looked at Xiao Yan and asked in a deep voice.

"Is there any news about Xiao Yu now?"

“To be honest, my trip to the Black Horn Region this time is related to Sister Xiao Yu’s matter.” Xiao Yan’s words made Han Yue’s expression stagnate. Before she could ask Xiao Yan, she raised her hand to stop him. “We’ll talk about the details later. Let’s set off first.”

"it is good."

Han Yue nodded, and then began to ask the Han family servants to pack up and head to the Black Horn Region.

At the entrance of Tianbei City's space passage, Han Yue and Han Xue were standing there with the Han family caravan, while Han Chi came in front of Xiao Yan, raised his hands, clasped his fists, and spoke softly.

"Friend Xiao Yan, I'm leaving these Han family officials and these two granddaughters in your care."

"Please rest assured, Master Han. Since I am following you, I should protect the Han family caravan."

Xiao Yan bowed in response, then turned around and followed the Han family caravan into the entrance of the space passage. Gu Qinghan glanced at Han Chi, then followed them in.

Looking at the closed space channel, Han Chi put his hands behind his back and sighed softly.

If something could happen between Xiao Yan and his granddaughter on this trip, then his Han family would truly be able to rise to great heights.

Han Chi seemed to be amused by his own ridiculous idea. He didn't know who Xiao Yan's other wife was, but Cai Lin saw her with her own eyes at that time. Whether in appearance, temperament or strength, they were incomparable to Han Yue. Xiao Yan's other wives must be no worse. If Xiao Yan really had something with Han Yue, it would only be an accident.

But how could there be so many accidents in this world?

Han Chi shook his head helplessly, put his hands behind his back and slowly walked back to the Han family.

Today's space channel is indeed very fast. It takes less than half a day to reach the Black Horn Region in the northwest continent from Tianbei City in Zhongzhou, which is a little shorter than Xiao Yan expected.

Arriving at the Black Horn Region, Xiao Yan walked out of the space channel and looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar Black Seal City in front of him. Looking at the crowded people coming and going, Xiao Yan couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Yao Ye and Ya Fei had obviously put in a lot of effort in the years when he was away, and the city was several times more prosperous than when he left.

Gu Qinghan, who followed Xiao Yan, also looked around with some curiosity in his eyes, feeling surprised. Although the Black Horn Region was only a place in the northwest continent, its reputation was quite loud in the entire continent. Even the ancient clan of the eight ancient clans knew what a cruel and dark place it was.

Although Gu Qinghan knew that Xiao Yan had once changed the Black Horn Region during the years he had followed Xiao Yan, he never expected it to be changed to this extent. If he hadn't been told, who would have guessed that this was the rumored lawless place?
"Xiao Yan, we are going to the Black Seal City Auction House now, what about you?"

Han Yue looked at Xiao Yan and asked. Xiao Yan retracted his gaze and smiled softly.

"I'll go with you too."

What Xiao Yan wanted to do was closely related to Sect Master Yuan Yi. They would meet sooner or later anyway, so it was just right for him to go there.

Afterwards, Xiao Yan and Gu Qinghan followed the Han family's caravan towards the Black Seal City Auction House. Looking at the people coming and going on the street, the shops on both sides of the street happily hawking their wares, and especially the children on the street who took the initiative to ask strangers if they needed a guide, Xiao Yan felt very gratified.

Once upon a time, when I first came to the Black Horn Region, I wanted to see a scene like this.
Soon, the group arrived at the Black Seal City Auction House. Because the Han family was also a regular customer of the Eight Doors, the receptionist at the door did not go in to report and directly guided the Han family caravan in through the path next to the auction house.

After the Han family entered, the receptionist looked at Xiaoyan who entered with the Han family, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he was thinking about something. At this time, his companion beside him patted him on the shoulder and asked in confusion.

"Hey, what are you looking at? Are you obsessed with the Han sisters?"

"No, I feel like I've seen the man who just followed the Han family in somewhere before."

"Hey~ The Han family has been here a few times, how come their subordinates are all familiar with you? What's so strange about that?"

"But I don't think I've seen him in the Han family's queue before."

"Alright, alright! You just have the habit of overthinking. Just stand guard obediently."

As the two receptionists were talking, Xiao Yan and Gu Qinghan followed the Han family's caravan into the warehouse of the Black Seal City Auction House. The warehouse itself was not very big, but there were several salesmen standing at various special locations. There were also many storage rings with labels on the tables of those salesmen. Obviously, the goods traded with Black Seal City were stored in these storage rings.

After all, the Black Horn Region is now a big commercial city, especially the Black Seal City Auction. The amount of goods piled up every day is unimaginable. If all of them were displayed in ten warehouses, they might not be enough. Using storage rings for storage is a bit expensive, but it does save a lot of space.

Afterwards, they arrived at the Han family's designated location as usual. Han Yue began to direct the Han family's servants to move the goods from the car, and the salesmen from the Black Seal City Auction House also began to count them one by one.

At this time, Han Yue turned her head and saw Xiao Yan also helping to move the goods. He had not yet used the power of space, but was just carrying them down in the most primitive way like the servants. Han Yue was suddenly startled and hurried forward to dissuade him.

"Xiao Yan, please don't move. You are not a servant of our Han family. How can you do these things?"

Just kidding, although Han Yue spoke to Xiao Yan casually, that was only on the surface. Given Xiao Yan's current status in Zhongzhou, how could Han Yue really treat Xiao Yan with a normal attitude?
What's more, this time Han Yue treated Xiao Yan as a guest. Since her family was running a business, how could she ask a guest to help move goods?

"Senior Han Yue, don't worry about it. My business is not urgent anyway. Besides, your Han family is kind enough to give me a ride. It's normal for me to help move things, right?" Xiao Yan smiled, and then turned around to move the goods again. "Besides, what's wrong with these things? It's not something to be ashamed of. I'm quite happy to do it."

Han Yue looked at his back in astonishment, and the Han family's servants who were moving goods also looked at Xiao Yan in disbelief.

How to say it? Although they had never seen Xiao Yan before, they also heard about Xiao Yan's identity from their young lady along the way. This identity is completely different from theirs, and now he is doing the same job as them?

To be honest, the Han family treated their servants quite well, but these servants also deeply understood that they were just servants, and their status was different from that of the superiors. They had no complaints about this. Firstly, they were used to it, and secondly, the Han family did not want to treat their servants as non-human beings like some other families did. From this point of view, they already felt very lucky.

And now seeing Xiao Yan's actions, everyone couldn't help but feel a warm current flowing through their hearts. How should they put it? It was that they suddenly had a feeling that their work was respected.

Speaking of which, the executors of Rentian and Meng are all helping with the work, so why do we feel that we are inferior to them?
Unconsciously, the Han family servants worked harder, and Gu Qinghan also joined Xiao Yan's team.

Seeing Xiao Yan and Gu Qinghan helping to move things, Han Yue and Han Xue couldn't stand it anymore after watching for a while, so they started to move things too.

Xiao Yan and Gu Qinghan, the two accompanying guests, started to help move things. As the host, how could they just stand by and watch?
The three years of close interaction made her understand clearly that Xiao Yan was that kind of person. No matter how high his status was, he would never put himself above others. He would just do what he was supposed to do, and his status had nothing to do with it.

To put it simply, Xiao Yan would never put on airs in front of anyone.

Seeing Xiao Yan moving the goods sincerely, Gu Qinghan was not surprised at all, because she had long been accustomed to it, and she knew clearly that Xiao Yan was such a person.

Gu Qinghan had never seen such a person, not only in the Gu Clan, but even in the past few years he had been in Zhongzhou. Gu Qinghan also deeply understood why so many forces were willing to support Xiao Yan.

Gu Qinghan also understood more and more why Xun'er liked him so much.

Looking at Xiao Yan's back, Gu Qinghan narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes.

And why I have a good impression of him (End of this chapter)
