During these few days, Han Yan had only drunk a little bit of chicken soup. It could be said that she hadn't even eaten an inch of rice, and her stomach was already unbearable. She didn't care whether the owner of the Han Estate was her uncle, which she hadn't seen in a few years.
He quickly ordered Xiao Cui to bring some food, and quickly finished it. Then, with Xiao Cui leading the way, he went to see his extremely stingy uncle.
Arriving at the front of the hall, Han Yan did not see his Eldest Uncle. She learned from the servants that his Eldest Uncle had something to do and told him to wait here. Although Han Yan was puzzled, she didn't ask. Just like this, another two hours passed before Eldest Uncle finally returned to the palace with a glowing face.
Han Tianlong's current emotions were as good as they could possibly be. The matter had gone smoothly, and he'd settled the matter with just a bit of money.
Han Tianlong smiled when he saw Han Yan. He said, ”Nephew!” How is your body? ”
Although Han Yan had woken up, she did not have any strength left in her body. The reason she came this time was to find out what exactly had happened during the few days she had been unconscious.
Seeing his uncle sit down, Han Yan said very politely, ”Uncle, what happened after I fainted?”
He didn't waste any time and went straight to the point.
Han Tianlong was in a good mood and smiled, ”It's nothing much. Your father asked me to bring you here after you were injured.”
Han Yan didn't believe it was that simple, but he knew she wouldn't be able to get anything out of it, so she said, ”Uncle, then my condition …”
Han Tianlong laughed and said, ”I'm fine. It'll be fine in a few days. You don't have to be so polite with me. Just tell the servants what you want to eat.”
When he said this, the servants outside were all stunned, thinking in their hearts, ”Master is an iron rooster, when did he become so generous?”
Actually, Han Tianlong had only done so to calm his conscience. After all, he wanted to deceive his younger brother for so much money, and more importantly, he'd taken something even more valuable from his nephew.
These words not only caused the servants to be stunned, but even Han Yan felt that she had misheard. She said in a daze, ”Uncle …”
Han Tianlong had thought that this brat was going to say something to express his gratitude, but he waved his hand and said, ”You don't have to be courteous with me. After all, we're family. If there's nothing else, let's go eat in the kitchen!”
Han Yan nodded her head and turned around to leave the residence hall. Just as she turned the corner, she heard a youth's voice coming from the residence hall.
”Dad, when did you become so generous?”
”Fei'Er, why did you come back? Weren't you studying in the capital?”
”It's the holidays, so I came back with mother.”
Hearing this, Han Yan also knew who this youth was. He was the eldest uncle's son, her name was Han Fei.
Han Fei was only one year younger than Han Yan, and they met once when they were young. However, they hadn't met in years, so even if they did, they might not know each other.
However, according to his father, that boy was extremely intelligent. He could understand anything after just a single look. His eldest uncle had put in a lot of effort and even steeled his heart, spending a large amount of money to send him to the capital's best academy to study.
Han Fei's voice came from within the hall, ”Dad, why are you so good to him? This doesn't seem like your style!”
Han Tianlong looked around and cautiously dismissed the servants in front of the door. He then said to his son, ”I have great news for you.”
Han Yan was about to leave, but when she heard this, he halted her steps and hid in a corner, wanting to hear what the good news was.
”Actually, he came this time because he was injured. The doctor said that he won't be able to live for more than a month, and also, I've used silver, and the steward of the branch of the Orthodoxy has done something to it. The right to take the test of the Sect of Daylight belongs to you now, Fei'er, you're going to become an immortal in the future!”
Han Yan's body suddenly shook as if she was electrocuted, like a bolt of thunder striking on her head, and then she felt an intense pain all over her body, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
When Han Fei heard this, he was extremely excited. He hurriedly said, ”Thank you, Father. Once I become a disciple of the Orthodoxy, I will need the City Lord to personally pour wine for you.”
Han Tianlong also chuckled and said, ”That's true. When the time comes, not only will the city lord come, even the county governor will welcome you personally.”
Just as the two were imagining things, a figure suddenly ran in from the front of the hall. Before the person could stand still, they heard a voice, ”You … You... Why are you doing this to me! ”
Seeing the sudden appearance of Han Yan, the father and son were both stunned. Han Fei sneered and mocked, ”You won't be able to live much longer. What's the use of having this qualification? ”Why don't you give it to me? When I become an Immortal, I might be able to save you in passing.”
Although he hadn't known Han Yan for long, he had often heard his father talk about how Han Yan's family was, and how she wanted to curry favor with her family. After listening for a long time, his impression of Han Yan didn't seem to be any better.
