Starting with the Immortal Cultivation System, what can you use to fight me?
Chapter 403: News of the Birth of Hanba
Just when Lin Han thought it was just Jasmine's angry words, subtle noises suddenly came from both sides of the alley. Then, two figures walked out one after the other. The former was an elderly man with white hair and beard, his eyes revealing the wisdom and majesty of time; the latter was a middle-aged man with a handsome face and a subtle smile on his lips.
"Consultant Lin, I'm sorry." Wu Hao smiled awkwardly and continued, "Don't pay attention to Jasmine. She's been spoiled by her family since she was a child. She has a straightforward personality and speaks without thinking."
"Brother Hao, why are you so ungrateful? This Lin guy dared to take off my mask, so he must be responsible for me!"
Jasmine pouted and glared at Wu Hao with dissatisfaction, her bright eyes flashing with grievance and stubbornness.
"Nonsense!" the old man scolded in a deep voice. "Lily, it was you who wanted to test Consultant Lin's depth, and you took it upon yourself to set such a ridiculous rule. Marriage is a serious matter, how can it be treated as a joke? As the future heir of the family, you should know your limits."
Jasmine's eyes reddened upon hearing this, but she stubbornly refused to cry. She lowered her head and muttered softly, "But Grandpa, didn't you always say that women should remain chaste? Beneath this mask lies all my secrets..."
The old man sighed, his eyes filled with both reproach and affection. "Chastity isn't about form, it's about the heart. Consultant Lin isn't a frivolous person. Since he can control you with his strength, he's your mentor and friend. As for marriage, it requires mutual love. How can you force it on someone based on just a single encounter?"
"Hmph..." Jasmine glared at Lin Han and had to shut her mouth and stop talking.
"I thought she was a cold and aloof young lady, but I didn't expect her to be such a willful and capricious little girl. Alas... If I had known this was the case, I shouldn't have taken off her mask. I'm so naughty!" Lin Han secretly complained.
"Advisor Lin, let me introduce you. This is the head of the Yan family in the imperial capital, Yan Xuelin, also known as Old Yan. He is also a veteran of the Public Opinion Bureau. And that naive Jasmine girl is called Yan Lili, and she is a member of my Tiger Group. 'Jasmine' is her code name in the Tiger Group."
Wu Hao added on the side, with a tone of helplessness and doting, and it was obvious that he was already accustomed to Miss "Jasmine"'s personality.
"Oh... I see." Lin Han nodded, glanced at Yan Lili who was sulking, and a barely perceptible sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. Then he turned his gaze to Old Yan.
"Mr. Yan, I've long heard of your great name. Meeting you today, I can see you're truly worthy of your reputation." Lin Han bowed, his manner respectful yet graceful. "Regarding Miss Jasmine's misunderstanding, I mean no offense. I hope Mr. Yan will forgive me."
Yan Xuelin nodded slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of approval. "There's no need to be so polite, Consultant Lin. Lily is young and impulsive, so I hope Consultant Lin won't take offense."
"Mr. Yan, you're too kind. It's a good thing for young people to be motivated, but they need proper guidance." Lin Han responded with a smile, then changed the subject, "However, Mr. Yan sent Miss Jasmine here late at night to test the waters. Does he have any special intentions?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Xuelin's expression grew serious. He glanced around, making sure no one was around, then whispered, "Advisor Lin, to be honest, I asked Lily to test you a little earlier just now. I just wanted to see how strong you are, but I didn't expect you to be so unfathomable! Now, I'm confident I can handle that tough situation."
"Master Yan, Brother Wu Hao, what's the thorny matter that requires you to come all the way to see me?" Lin Han frowned slightly, thinking to himself. He knew that something that made this elder of the Public Opinion Bureau treat it so seriously must be of great significance.
Elder Yan and Wu Hao exchanged a glance. Wu Hao sighed softly and spoke slowly, "Advisor Lin, there's a Taoist master in the Public Opinion Bureau. He's sensed through astronomical phenomena that a drought demon is quietly awakening deep in the mountains of Yunxia Village, southeast of Feizhou City.
"Hanba, the ancient ancestor of zombies, will inevitably bring endless disaster and death upon its appearance. Our extensive investigation has confirmed the source of that ominous aura: an ancient ruin deep within the mountains. Recently, that aura has intensified, possibly signaling that Hanba is about to break free and wreak havoc on the world."
"Hanba?" Lin Han frowned when he heard this. He knew very well that once Hanba was born, not only would Feizhou City be devastated, but it would also affect the entire Xia Country and even the world.
"Advisor Lin, Mr. Yan knows that the Public Opinion Bureau is incapable of dealing with this drought demon, so he's seeking support from our Tiger Team. However, as the leader of the Tiger Team, I'm also deeply overwhelmed. I can only ask for your assistance in resolving this issue!"
Having said that, Wu Hao's expression became more solemn, and his eyes were full of expectation and pleading.
Without a second thought, Lin Han nodded and agreed, "Brother Wu Hao, don't worry, I'll take this job! It's just a drought demon. As long as it poses a risk of endangering the entire country, I will strangle it in the cradle and never give it the chance to wreak havoc on the world."
"Hmph, Mr. Lin, I admit that you are very powerful, but don't underestimate this Hanba. It is an ancient evil creature, how can it be so easy to deal with?" Yan Lili couldn't help but interrupt. Although she was still a little dissatisfied, her words could not hide her fear of Hanba's strength.
"Lily, children shouldn't interrupt when adults are talking." Yan Xuelin glared at his granddaughter sternly, then turned to Lin Han, his tone apologetic, "Advisor Lin, I'm sorry, Lily didn't speak without thinking, please forgive me!"
"It's okay." Lin Han waved his hand, a playful smile on his face as he said, "Miss Jasmine, let me tell you, I just killed a hairy zombie a while ago. Although this drought demon is strong, in my eyes, it's just a slightly bigger trouble. I have my own way to deal with it."
Yan Lili opened her mouth slightly when she heard this, obviously shocked by Lin Han's confidence, but she still refused to admit defeat: "Humph, everyone can brag, but don't cry and ask Grandpa for help when the time comes."
"Lily, if you continue to act recklessly, you will have to go back and reflect on your mistakes." Yan Xuelin warned again in a deep voice, his eyes full of severity.
Although Jasmine was unwilling, she had no choice but to shut her mouth in dissatisfaction and said no more. However, her bright eyes still flashed with dissatisfaction and curiosity.
"Hey, Mr. Yan, don't be so harsh. It's a good thing for children to have a little curiosity and fighting spirit." Lin Han chuckled, "Miss Jasmine, let's make a bet. If I can deal with this drought demon, then your previous statement of marrying you after I remove your mask will be just a joke and we'll just call it a day!
If I fail to deal with this drought demon, then I can only accept my fate and marry you! What do you think? Do you dare to bet? Miss Jasmine.
