Return of the Phoenix Lady

It's a new day again, the sun is shining, it's a good day for traveling.

This time, Han Xing got up without waiting for them to bring him breakfast. He went to the private room and began to eat slowly.

The atmosphere was a bit depressing. Even Jin Haoyu, who usually talked a lot when he saw Han Xing, ate with a heavy heart.

Han Xing glanced at the silent crowd, finally fixing his gaze on Jin Haoyu, and said, "Brother Jin, the auction is over now. Thank you for your hospitality. It's time for us to leave."

Jin Haoyu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly raised his head and said, "Brother Han, don't you want to join our Spirit Refining Guild? You don't have much strength, and it would be very dangerous to survive on this continent. Why not join us! This way you can have a safety guarantee, and it will also relieve some pressure on your brother. He is alone, no matter how talented he is, it is impossible for him to protect you well in many unknown dangers! So, Brother Han, Brother Ying, join us!" Just like five years ago, Jin Haoyu extended an invitation again.

Han Xing glanced at Jin Haoyu with a complicated look before smiling and saying, "Brother Jin, what are you talking about? What do you mean I don't have any strength? I've also learned fighting spirit! Don't underestimate me!"

"Haha! With that little fighting spirit of yours, who can you beat?" Jin Haoyu couldn't help but laugh at Han Xing's confidence.

Shui Luochen, standing by, couldn't help but put his arm around Han Xing's shoulders and interrupted, "Stop talking! Han'er won't join you! He wants to go to school with me! Don't delay him!"

Yingchen and Jin Haoyu both looked at the arm draped over Han Xing's shoulder with displeasure, their eyes looking as if they wanted to cut that arm into pieces. Han Xi deliberately turned her face away, her brows slightly furrowed.

Han Xing saw everything and felt helpless. He pulled Shui Luochen's hand away without leaving a trace, but ignored the sadness in his eyes.

"Going to school? Going to the Five Nations Academy?" Jin Haoyu asked.

"Hmm! Is Brother Jin a student there?"

"Uh... no, because I've been refining weapons with my master since I was a child, so I didn't go there to study." Jin Haoyu felt a little regretful. Why didn't he go to school with his brother? Wouldn't that mean he wouldn't have to leave his brother?

"If Brother Haoyu wants to go, the Five Nations Academy will accept him unconditionally! It's just that Brother Haoyu wants to be self-reliant and wants to improve his strength through his own efforts." Ouyang Qianrong looked at Han Xing with a proud face, as if she was talking about herself.

"By the way, brother Han'er, why didn't you go to school five years ago? Wasn't that the best age to go to school? Why did you run to such a dangerous Holy Land of Purgatory at that time? You only want to go to school now." Even if Shangguan Lan'er was slow-witted, she could see that Jin Haoyu was acting abnormally towards Han Xing, and she said in a sarcastic tone.

"It's not that your strength is too weak and you're afraid that the school won't accept you, so you want to come here to gain some experience and improve your strength before going?" Ouyang Qianrong glanced at Han Xing with a sweet smile.

"Don't talk nonsense! Han'er and the others don't go to school because they don't have money! I think you don't go because your abilities are too weak and the school won't accept you!" Shui Luochen was unhappy that Han Xing was being made fun of by them, and immediately retorted.

Ouyang Qianrong was hit on the head and her face immediately turned red. She said angrily: "Hmph~ I'm weak? Even if I'm weaker, I'm still better than someone who can only use her beauty to seduce men to help her!" After saying that, she looked at Han Xing provocatively.

"Sister Rong, are you talking about Brother Han'er?" Shangguan Lan'er said with a "confused" look on her face.

"I didn't say it was him! But, it turns out you also think he is that kind of person!" Ouyang Qianrong smiled proudly.

"Sister Rong, how can you say that about Brother Han'er? Although what you said is all true, he is just good-looking. Didn't he get those men by himself? It's not his fault!" The implication is that he is a poor and powerless person, and he always uses his beauty to seduce men.

"Stop playing the good cop and the bad cop and insulting Han'er! Hypocritical! Pretentious! What I, Shui Luochen, despise the most is women like you who look down on others!" Shui Luochen has disliked them for a long time, but he just couldn't get angry. Now that he saw them bullying the lovely Han'er, he immediately got angry and swore at them.

"Hey! Brat! How dare you talk like that? Do you even know how to speak? How dare you scold Rong'er! If it weren't for Brother Jin, I would definitely teach you a lesson today!" Xu Bowu got angry when he saw Ouyang Qianrong being insulted by a brat, and he deliberately raised his fist and said viciously.

"Mr. Shui, Lan'er has always been very nice to Brother Xinghan. Why do you say that to her? She was obviously helping Brother Xinghan just now, and you still scolded her like that? Isn't that a bit too much!" Xu Bowen's good temper disappeared instantly when he saw Shangguan Lan'er's tears. He looked at Shui Luochen with a gloomy face.

"They know who is using their looks to seduce men into working for them! But please don't think everyone is so vicious, okay? Not everyone has their venomous scorpion heart! Also, what if they don't have money? What if they don't have strength? What does it have to do with you? What right do you have to blame Han'er?" Han Qingyu couldn't bear it any longer. These two women were clearly insulting the young master, and one was pretending to be a scoundrel and the other was pretending to be innocent. What's even more hateful is the men around them. Are they even watching? They actually helped them without knowing right from wrong. It's really too much!

"You!..." Looking at the woman whose cultivation was obviously much higher than his, he could only choose to remain silent unwillingly, thinking bitterly in his heart that if he met them again next time, he must find a master in the union to support him.

"Wuuuu... Did I... Did I say something wrong? Wuuuu... Why are you all so rude! Brother Haoyu, you have to stand up for Lan'er! Wuuuu..." Shangguan Lan'er had no way to deal with the woman who looked so shrewd, so she could only find Jin Haoyu.

"All of you, be quiet!" Jin Haoyu growled angrily. This was the first time he had lost his temper in so many years. Seeing their beloved angry, the two women could only quiet down obediently.

"Brother Han, I apologize to you on their behalf. I'm sorry!" After saying that, he even bent down and bowed to Han Xing.

"Brother Haoyu!" The two girls shouted in unison, trying to stop Jin Haoyu's behavior.

"Shut up!" Jin Haoyu looked at the two women coldly, and the two women had to keep silent.

"It's okay! It's getting late, so we won't bother you anymore. Brother Jin, see you again if we have the chance!" Han Xing said goodbye to Jin Haoyu with a smile.

After saying that, he walked towards the door. When he passed the two women, he paused for a moment and left. Yingchen and others followed closely behind him.

Yingchen looked at Han Xing's smiling face, and the more he looked at it, the weirder it became. Finally, he couldn't help but ask, "Master, you... aren't you angry?"

Han Xing gave Ying Chen a strange look and pouted, "Why are you angry?"

"They scolded you!"

"Who?"

"..."

"Yingchen, didn't I teach you? The greatest contempt for a person is to ignore him!" Han Xing said softly with his eyes slightly narrowed, a cold look flashing in his eyes.

five days later

"Ah! We're finally in the Holy City! Let's go buy some necessities! The entrance exam for freshmen will be in a few days." Shui Luochen looked at Han Xing excitedly.

Han's mother and daughter also said goodbye to them here. Finally, Han Xi looked at Shui Luochen with complicated eyes, and resolutely followed her mother.

"Entrance exam? There is an exam...how do I take it?" Han Xing frowned slightly.

Shui Luochen thought that he was unhappy because he was too weak and afraid of failing the exam, so he immediately patted his chest and vowed: "Don't worry! It shouldn't be too difficult! I will definitely help you pass the entrance exam!" Little did he know that Han Xing was just afraid of trouble and was too lazy to take those unnecessary exams.
