Chapter 276: Chapter 276: SSS Artifact Spirit, Soul Summoning Yin Yang Incense
"Stop it."
Just as Xiaocui was about to continue with the fifth slap, Han Dingxiang’s voice finally rang out.
Xiaocui, as if granted a great pardon, said, "Thank you, Miss."
"If you dare speak ill of Xiao Yu again, I will cut off your tongue."
"Yes, Miss."
Xiaocui dared not contradict; she had already forgotten that Xiao Yu had become taboo for the young miss since his death.
Now that Xiao Yu was alive again, others should be even more careful with their words.
Han Dingxiang snorted coldly, sparing Xiaocui.
She continued to choose her clothes, but her mind couldn’t help but bring up the image of Xiao Yu using his life to protect her.
At that time, she was also his everything.
...
Time quickly moved to the afternoon.
Han Dingxiang had chosen her clothes, a white lace dress adorned with lilacs.
Not only had she changed her clothes, but she also applied a delicate makeup, elegant and ethereal, enhancing her already fairy-like demeanor.
However, the little fairy had turned melancholic at this moment.
"Xiaocui, why hasn’t he come to see me yet?"
Han Dingxiang sat in front of the window, one hand weakly supporting her chin, the other tracing the lilac’s pistils with her fair, jade-like fingers.
Xiaocui was brewing tea beside her, and at these words, her hand involuntarily trembled.
The morning’s events had left a shadow on her, and even though Han Dingxiang had treated her wounds with good medicine afterward, she now dared not casually comment on matters related to Xiao Yu.
So, after a moment’s thought, she said, "Maybe he was delayed by something. After all, he has just returned and the family surely has a lot to discuss with him."
This seemed to improve Han Dingxiang’s mood quite a bit.
"That’s true, he hasn’t been home for such a long time, his parents must miss him even more than I do. I’ll give him one more day. If he doesn’t come to see me tonight, I’ll punish him by not letting him see me."
"Xiaocui, go check on the dinosaur fish soup I made, make sure my dad doesn’t sneak any of it, I want to save it for him tonight."
"Alright, Miss."
...
Meanwhile, Xiao Zhan didn’t know that taking on the identity of Xiao Yu had implicated him in such emotionally charged debts.
He was still getting familiar with the situation of the Federation’s four major families with Ye Youlong.
Time continued to pass.
In the boring, anxious wait, evening arrived.
Han Family’s courtyard.
The pot of dinosaur fish soup had been heated and stewed again and again, and even though it was known for its robust flavor, it had completely lost its taste by this time.
Han Dingxiang sat by the window, watching the moon rise in the sky, her expression, like the pot of dinosaur fish soup, had turned from passionate by day to spoiled by night.
"Miss..."
Just then, a voice suddenly sounded at the door. frёeωebɳovel.com
Hearing Xiaocui’s voice, Han Dingxiang immediately stood up like a little rabbit, "Did Xiao Yu come? Let him in, wait... tell him I’m angry now, I don’t want to see him!"
"Miss..." Xiao Cui’s voice was somewhat listless.
"Forget it, I knew you’d plead for him, just let him in," Han Dingxiang said with an exuberant expression, not giving Xiao Cui a chance to finish.
Xiao Cui waited until Han Dingxiang’s emotions had subsided a bit, then said, "Miss, Master Xiao Yu hasn’t come; it’s the Family Head who wants you to go discuss the matters of the martial arts competition."
Upon hearing this, the joy on Han Dingxiang’s face disappeared instantly, faster than flipping a book.
"I’m not going."
"Miss, besides the Family Head, Guest Elder Chen is also there."
"Guest Elder Chen? Is it Chen Dongshan?" A look of doubt appeared on Han Dingxiang’s face.
"Yes, his son Chen Kun is also here."
Hearing the two words ’Chen Kun’, Han Dingxiang immediately understood something, a look of disgust flashed across her face, "I’m not going."
Then she turned around and went back into her room, closing the door.
"I’m tired, I need to rest."
"Miss, but the Family Head..."
"Get out!"
Xiao Cui’s expression chilled, remembering the pain on her face, she dared not hesitate and left the courtyard.
In the Han Family main hall.
At this moment, five people were sitting sporadically.
The couple, Han Family Head Han Jinhui and his wife, Chen Dongshan and his wife, and Chen Kun alone.
They were discussing matters about the martial arts competition; Han Jinhui and Chen Dongshan were conversing very amiably, but Chen Kun beside them seemed listless, his gaze drifting towards the entrance from time to time.
"This martial arts competition is more intense than in previous years. The Li family’s last champion, Li Tianshan, who has just turned thirty, hasn’t lost eligibility yet, and another, Li Tianxiu, has appeared, whose strength is said to have reached Fourth Grade, just like Li Tianshan. It’s likely that the Li family will monopolize the top three this time," said Han Jinhui.
The Li Group grows stronger with each passing event; initially, the four major families could still share the glory.
But now, the Li Group dominates alone, making the other three families merely a backdrop.
The martial arts competition, though called a contest, is more like a personal performance show for the Li family.
Chen Dongshan, a Guest Elder of the Han Estate, with a strength that has reached the Fifth Grade Realm, is one of the top experts in the Han Estate.
Faced with the current situation, he could only sigh helplessly and said, "The Li Group is indeed too strong; this year’s first place will undoubtedly be theirs again; our three families are merely going as spectators."
"Indeed, the rise of the Li Group is simply explosive, as if they have some cheats," Han Jinhui sighed.
There was a hint of envy in his tone; why couldn’t such good fortune befall the Han family?
"Family Head, don’t sigh. Even though we can’t secure the first place, we still have a chance for the second," Chen Dongshan said.
He continued, "Apart from the Li Group, the strengths of the other three major families are quite similar, and the individual competition scores shouldn’t differ too much either."
"To widen the gap, we can only do it in the team competition. With Miss Han’s SSS Artifact Spirit True Body, Soul Summoning Yin Yang Incense, although only a Support Type Artifact Spirit, it greatly enhances the team’s capabilities."
"Combined with my son Chen Kun’s Talent Skill, it would allow the Han family to unleash powerful strength in the team competition, leaving the other two major families behind."
Han Jinhui’s mood slightly brightened upon hearing this.
In the competition between the four major families, it’s not only the first place that benefits; resources are also allocated based on the rankings of the remaining positions.
Thus, although the Li family has always been the top, the other three families still strive hard and compete fiercely.
However, he frowned slightly afterward because he understood Chen Dongshan’s intention; he wanted his son and his daughter, Han Dingxiang, to form a Contract.
If this were before, he would definitely support it.
But now, with the situation having changed slightly, he found it difficult to decide.
