“Hasn’t this little fellow run away?”

Han Li was somewhat surprised, but he still had someone lead the scoundrel to the side hall to wait.

Back when he had participated in the loose cultivators’ meeting, he sold a Pihai Pill to this person. Since the scoundrel’s spirit stones were insufficient, he had to do him a favor.

The scoundrel had planned to sneak away, but after searching for a long time, he could never find the marker Han Li had mentioned and could only sulkily make his way to Lingjun City.

He had always been cautious, for fear of what Han Li might do to him, only to find out he had been overthinking, and Han Li really just wanted him to do one thing.

After completing that task, the scoundrel had fled, never contacting Han Li again. More than a year had gone by, and Han Li never expected to see him again.

After saying a word to his concubines, Han Li left the backyard, moving swiftly as a shooting star, arriving at the side hall. He sat in the high seat, looking down on the scoundrel from above.

Feeling the evaluating gaze of Han Li, the old ancestor who had taken in concubines, the scoundrel felt uncomfortable all over. He would never have come to seek Han Li’s help if he had any other choice.

“Yi Wu, right? You only have a quarter of an hour,” said Han Li.

The last time they met, the scoundrel had called himself Yi Wu, and Han Li hadn’t cared. Even if he was merely at Innate Realm, and had now broken throuqh to the Pihai Realm, he still didn’t matter to him.

Yi Wu pressed his lips together, his hands involuntarily clenched into fists, and then limply fell. With a hint of pleading, he said, “Please, elder, save my younger sister’s life.”

In his life, he had never begged anyone, but at this moment, he had no choice but to beg; otherwise, his sister would truly be finished. A glint flashed in Han Li’s eyes, and he remained silent.

Was he, Han the Ancestor, lacking in dignity?

To ask him to help someone unrelated was absurd; he was far too busy being a diligent old farmer who toiled every day, planting and sowing seeds.

“I am willing to join the Han Mansion and attend to your orders for a hundred years,” Yi Wu spoke for a second time.

Looking at the figure in the cloak in the hall, Han Li let out a snort of derision and said indifferently, “What use do I have for a Pihai Realm cultivator?” Yi Wu was stunned.

It was with great hesitation that he had made this decision, thinking for sure that Han Li would agree.

After all, he was a Pihai Realm cultivator and not too old, with excellent talent. Though he could only serve the Han Family for a hundred years, he would certainly bring substantial help to them.

As far as he knew, the Han Family didn’t have a single Pihai Realm cultivator at the moment, only Han Li, the concealed sixth elder, a Great Master.

Little did he know, Han Li truly didn’t care about his Pihai Realm status; even if he could break through to the Gangyuan Realm in the next hundred years, what use would that be to him?

In a few years, when he revealed his Gangyuan Realm cultivation level, he could easily recruit some Pihai Realm cultivators as Guest Elders. In several decades, by the time he reached the God Refining Realm, he would be able to recruit Great Masters at the Gangyuan Realm as Guest Elders too.

Yi Wu stood there, at a loss.

What he considered as confident bargaining chips were dismissed as insignificant by Han Li, unable to persuade Han Li to move to rescue his sister.

What was he to do?

Perhaps, there was only that one option left…

Time passed by each second, and the quarter of an hour was quickly coming to an end.

Yi Wu was still hesitating, standing there like a block of wood, in the throes of an inner struggle.

At that moment, Han Li stood up, not saying a word, ready to leave.

“Wait!” Yi Wu suddenly spoke out, her tone resolute.

Han Li stopped in his tracks and turned his head to look at the figure below the stage but did not speak.

Yi Wu paused before taking off her wide-brimmed hat and carelessly throwing it to the ground, revealing an aged face full of wrinkles and a head of white hair.

Then, she slowly reached her right hand beneath her left ear and gently tore away something, as a layer of human skin fell off, uncovering a new face that seemed to brighten the side hall by threefold.

Han Li’s throat moved slightly.

“If the elder is willing to lend a hand, this junior is willing to marry the elder as a concubine and serve you for life,” Yi Wu said softly, yet unbeknownst to her, two streams of clear tears had traced their path down her beautiful face.

Han Li looked at that breathtakingly beautiful face that could make fish sink and geese plummet straight from the sky, then slowly shook his head.

Lin Yiwu’s pupils contracted sharply, and her cold, stunning face was full of shock and despair.

She had been sensible from a young age and knew well the dangers of the world. After certain events, she had prepared two human skin masks for herself and her sister to conceal their true appearances and cultivate in low

profile.

Many cultivators had lusted after the beauty of her and her sister along the way, wanting to forcefully take them as concubines, but she had managed to elude them all.

But now, she had offered herself to be a concubine willingly and was rejected; and the one who rejected her was the notorious ‘Old Ancestor of Taking Concubines,” Han Li. What infuriated her the most was that Han Li had just taken twelve concubines not long ago…

It wasn’t that she was arrogant, but none of those twelve concubines could compare to her in either beauty or figure. They were not even in the same league.

After the shock, only despair was left in Lin Yiwu’s heart.

Without the assistance of Han Li, the Great Master of the Gangyuan Realm, how could she possibly rescue her sister?

With her own strength, it was simply impossible; attempting to do so would be suicide, and it would cost her own life as well.

Among those Lin Yiwu knew, Han Li was the most powerful cultivator. Although he was known for his romantic ways, his reputation was good, and he hadn’t made things difficult for her the last time they had finished a task together; otherwise, Lin Yiwu wouldn’t have come to seek his help.

Seeing Lin Yiwu’s expression, Han Li knew she had misunderstood, but he offered no explanation and merely said, “First, tell me the whole story, and then honestly inform me of the cultivation level of your enemy.”

In fact, Han Li had seen through Lin Yiwu’s disguise at their first meeting. A human skin mask could only be effective below the Gangyuan Realm. A Great Master of the Gangyuan Realm, with a progressively strong Divine Spirit, could easily see through it.

Although Lin Yiwu was very beautiful, exceptionally so, more beautiful than all his concubines and all the women he had ever seen, so what?

Han Li had his own principles and would not casually take a stunning beauty as a concubine, nor would he be unable to walk after seeing a ravishing beauty, turning into a foolish ogler.

Unless that stunning beauty possessed supremely high talent, enough to warrant Han Li’s exception. For the sake of his development and increasing his strength, Han Li did not mind forcefully taking a beautiful woman with high potential as a concubine, for he was not a stickler for convention.

Lin Yiwu, who had been intending to leave, lifted her head to look at the figure on the high platform, her heart filled with indescribable emotions. Suppressing various feelings, Lin Yiwu then began to recount her story.

It went roughly like this: At the Loose Cultivator’s gathering, she had obtained a Pihai Pill and found her sister, Lin Yiyin, after completing a task given by Han Li, and the two planned to head to Luzhou.

On their way, they arrived near Zhenyi Manor in Qingzhou and temporarily settled in Zhenyi City to recuperate. Lin Yiwu went out to replenish their cultivation materials and instructed her sister not to leave, but Lin Yiyin sneaked out to wander through the city and ended up being discovered by a Pihai Realm Great Master.

A city-toppling beauty would not normally incite such desires in a cultivator of the Gangyuan Realm, but Lin Yiyin was one of those rare devastating beauties. The Pihai Realm Great Master took her away, intending to make her his concubine.

When Lin Yiwu returned and received the news, she was dumbstruck, but she dared not barge into the Pihai Great Master’s residence to take her sister back that would be like delivering herself into his hands.

Upon making inquiries in Zhenyi City, she learned that the Great Master had an ugly visage and cultivated a certain Collection and Supplement Method, having harmed countless women.

Although the Pihai Realm cultivator wanted to formally take Lin Yiyin as a concubine, it was inevitable he would use her for his cultivation technique. Lin Yiyin would not be able to withstand it for long, and with her temperament, she would likely choose to end her own life in advance.

Thus, Lin Yiwu thought to find a savior and hurried to Lingjun City to ask Han

Li for help..
