Chapter 66

"Th-this..."

The guard, under Su Yunlie's gaze, showed a troubled expression.

He originally did not want to mention Su Han's affairs, as it would certainly dampen the Su family's mood, but since Su Yunlie had asked, he dared not remain silent.

"Since the head of the family has asked, you might as well speak up," Su Yunchen said impatiently.

"Yes."

Seeing that Su Yunchen had spoken, the guard finally said, "There is news that Su Han has opened twenty-two dragon veins and has already become a pill master, refining ten high-grade pills in just half a minute."

"What!!!"

Su Yunchen and Su Yunpeng's faces changed, almost jumping up.

"Say that again?" Su Yunchen glared.

"Su Han has opened twenty-two dragon veins and has already become a high-grade pill master," the guard repeated.

"Nonsense!"

Su Yunchen smashed the teacup in his hand to pieces, furious. "This is impossible! The limit on the Dragon Martial Continent is ten dragon veins. How could he open twenty-two? And that little brat, he's just at the Dragon Vein Realm. To become a pill master, one must have mental strength and cultivation at the Dragon Spirit Realm or above. How could he become a pill master, let alone a high-grade one?"

"This news must be fake!" Su Yunpeng also didn't believe it.

"Alas..."

Su Yunlie, seeing the attitudes of the two, sighed deeply.

From the moment he expelled Su Han from the family, Su Yunlie had been questioning himself whether this decision was a mistake.

Now, Su Han, with his formidable talent, had told Su Yunlie that this decision was indeed a mistake.

A grave mistake!

"But..."

The guard paused slightly and continued, "There is also news that the head of the Han Yun Sect tried twice to take Su Han as a personal disciple, but Su Han refused both times. He seems unwilling to join the Han Yun Sect and even claims he wants to establish his own sect."

"Hmm?"

Su Yunchen's furrowed brows immediately relaxed, and he laughed heartily. "Ha ha ha ha, see? A fool remains a fool. He was so arrogant when he was in the Su family, and now that he's left, he's still arrogant! He doesn't even put the head of the Han Yun Sect in his eyes? I think no one in this world can control him!"

...

Xiao Family.

"Reporting to the head of the family, this time, nine members of the Xiao family have entered the Han Yun Sect, but most are registered disciples, with only two becoming inner disciples." A guard reported immediately.

"Um."

Xiao Hengshan nodded; he had expected as much. After all, becoming an outer or inner disciple is closely tied to the number of dragon veins opened.

"What about Han?"

Su Yunming, of course, was most concerned about Su Han.

"Master Han, with his outstanding talent, outperformed thousands of others and ultimately topped the rankings, becoming the first in this assessment," the guard said with a smile.

"Phew..."

Su Yunming sighed in relief. Although he had expected it, he only felt at ease after the results were out.

In their view, after all, Su Han had opened twenty dragon veins. Who could compare?

"During this assessment, there was a dark horse, Chen Feng from the Chen family."

The guard continued, "Chen Feng's talent is extremely formidable, having opened twenty-one dragon veins and already become a low-grade pill master."

"What?"

Everyone was stunned, and Xiao Hengshan immediately asked, "Chen Feng opened twenty-one dragon veins? How did Su Han become the first? Didn't he only open twenty?"

"Master Han opened twenty-two dragon veins."

The guard explained, "It's quite an interesting story. On the first attempt, Chen Feng only displayed eleven dragon veins, seemingly trying to hide his strength, while Master Han displayed twelve. Chen Feng was不服 and then displayed fifteen dragon veins, and Master Han immediately burst out with sixteen."

"Ultimately, Chen Feng reached his limit, displaying all twenty-one of his dragon veins, but Master Han opened twenty-two. It seems they have some past, and Master Han always outperformed Chen Feng by one."

"That brat." Su Yunming smiled bitterly and shook his head.

The others also showed understanding expressions. Of course, they had some past, as Su Han had almost killed Chen Feng's younger brother before.

But they could imagine Chen Feng's face and anger at the time; Su Han was clearly deliberately outperforming him.

"After Master Han displayed twenty-two dragon veins, Chen Feng, still不服, finally revealed his pill master identity and refined a low-grade Dragon Qi Pill in half an hour," the guard added.

Hearing this, Xiao Hengshan and the others nodded.

"Chen Feng not only opened twenty-one dragon veins but also became a pill master at the Dragon Vein Realm. Such a situation is rare on the entire Dragon Martial Continent, and his talent is indeed extremely strong."

"Unfortunately, he met Master Han."

The guard then laughed, "After Chen Feng finished refining the pill, everyone thought Master Han would lose, but who would have thought that Master Han also started refining pills and, in just half a minute, refined ten high-grade pills!"

Upon hearing this, the entire hall fell silent.

They knew Su Han could refine pills, but to refine ten high-grade pills in half a minute... that was... too freakish.

"Was that pill really refined by Su Han?" Xiao Hengshan couldn't believe it.

The guard immediately laughed, "It's said that everyone had the same thought, but after the Han Yun Sect's pill master experts verified it, it was indeed refined by Master Han. Otherwise, Chen Feng wouldn't have given up."

"Yunming, you have a good son!" Xiao Hengshan looked at Su Yunming enviously.

Su Yunming was so happy that he didn't know what to say.

"Little Su Han is so amazing, he won't want me anymore..." At this moment, a weak voice suddenly sounded.

Everyone followed the voice and saw Xiao Yuran, her beautiful face showing a look of委屈, which indeed made any man's heart stir.

"He dares!"

Su Yunming immediately glared, "Su Han is my son. Even if he becomes a Dragon Venerable, he still has to listen to his father!"

"Hehe, you're the best."

Xiao Yuran immediately ran over, her face showing a mischievous smile.

This mischief was not hidden; everyone saw it and shook their heads, thinking this girl was clever and mischievous.

"Su Han should return in a few days. I said before that no matter the result, we must welcome him back with a grand banquet!"

Xiao Hengshan laughed heartily, "Order it! Prepare a grand feast, and all members of the Xiao family will receive three months' extra salary!"

"Yes."

The guard was clearly very happy. After all, such a reward from Xiao Hengshan was only given when Xiao Yuhui entered the Han Yun Sect.
