Chapter 230: The Lan Family Arrives
BOOM!
Suddenly, a terrifying chill erupted from within Han Xue’s body, instantly dropping the surrounding temperature again. The ice that had just receded from her body now covered her once more, even blocking the Li Fire Pill’s dicinal power from entering.
’The cold poison is fighting back!’ Shen Haoran’s brows furrowed. He imdiately ford a seal technique. The Fire Spirit Black Obsidian churned and surged directly into the basin, enveloping Han Xue’s body.
HISSSSSS...
Plus of mist rose as the terrifying heat of the Fire Spirit Black Obsidian suppressed the cold poison once more.
Seeing the cold poison suppressed, Shen Haoran quickly increased the flow of the Li Fire Pill’s dicinal power. The crimson dicinal power instantly grew much thicker, pouring continuously into Han Xue’s body.
As the Li Fire Pill’s dicinal power was infused, the cold poison was slowly forced out of her body, only to be swiftly incinerated by the Fire Spirit Black Obsidian.
As ti passed, the Li Fire Pill grew smaller and smaller. Han Xue’s pale complexion gradually beca rosy, and it looked as if the cold qi was about to be completely expelled!
However, while Han Xue’s complexion improved, Shen Haoran’s grew sowhat pale. After all, using the Fire Spirit Black Obsidian for so long while also dividing his Heart Spirit was taxing. Even with Shen Haoran’s constitution, it was a bit too much to bear.
After the ti it takes for an incense stick to burn, the Li Fire Pill was finally completely refined, and the cold poison within Han Xue’s body was thoroughly forced out.
Phew...
Shen Haoran withdrew the Fire Spirit Black Obsidian. He staggered, nearly fainting, and looked quite weak.
"Brother Shen?" Seeing Shen Haoran’s pale face, Han Xu quickly stepped forward to support him.
"I’m fine. Go check on your sister," Shen Haoran said, waving his hand dismissively. He then took an elixir from his Storage Ring, tossed it into his mouth, and sat cross-legged to begin recovering.
Han Xu hurriedly lifted Han Xue out of the cold water. She looked much more vibrant now. Her once perpetually pale face was now as rosy as a ripe apple, and her body was no longer cold to the touch. The Han Xue of today had finally bid farewell to the cold poison and returned to normal!
He carefully placed Han Xue on the bed and covered her with a blanket. ’The cold poison in her body has just been expelled. She’s still a bit weak and needs to rest well.’
"Brother Shen, thank you so much!" Han Xu said, clasping his fists toward Shen Haoran.
"I’m glad I didn’t fail the mission," Shen Haoran nodded. After taking the elixir, so of the pallor left his face.
"Th-this is bad, Young Master!"
Just then, a shout ca from outside. A guard then burst into Han Xue’s chambers, flustered.
"Shh... Quiet down. Xiaoxue is resting. What happened? Why are you in such a panic? Have you no decorum?" Han Xu said, putting a finger to his lips before frowning.
"Young Master, people from the Lan Family are here! They’re demanding we hand over Young Master Shen!" the guard said, too panicked to care about anything else.
"What!" Upon hearing this, Han Xu’s expression changed drastically, his face turning grim.
’I didn’t expect the Lan Family to get here so fast!’ "Brother Shen, perhaps you should hide for now?" Han Xu said in a low voice, looking at Shen Haoran.
"Hide? No need. It’s just the insignificant Lan Family. Pay them no mind. Co, let’s go et them," Shen Haoran said nonchalantly, shaking his head.
"Alright then. Lead the way!" Seeing Shen Haoran’s confident expression, Han Xu shouted to the guard.
And so, the two of them followed the guard toward the entrance of the Han Family estate.
...
Outside the Han Family estate, Lan Fang and Lan Yansheng, the two Shen Haoran had injured previously, were standing behind Manager Lan Sha of the Lan Family.
"Han Ding, hand over the brat who injured my Lan Family’s Elder and Young Master. Otherwise, don’t bla the Lan Family for being rciless!" Lan Sha said coldly, glaring at Han Ding.
"Steward Lan, I’ve already sent soone to fetch him. Please, calm yourself and wait just a mont!" Han Ding said obsequiously.
"Hmph. Han Ding, you’d better not try any tricks, or I will certainly not spare you," Lan Sha said disdainfully, giving Han Ding a sidelong glance.
"Of course, of course!" Han Ding said, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead. He then shouted to a Han Family Elder beside him, "Where is that brat surnad Shen? Why isn’t he here yet?"
"Well... Patriarch, soone has already been sent to invite him!" the Han Family Elder said, clasping his fists.
"Invite? I told you to take n and drag him here, not invite him!" Han Ding roared.
"Patriarch, he is the Young Master’s friend, after all. Dragging him here... wouldn’t that be inappropriate?" the Elder said, looking troubled.
"Inappropriate? I am the Patriarch of the Han Family now. My word is law! Now hurry up and go!" Han Ding’s face darkened as he barked the cold command.
"There’s no need!" Just then, a clear voice rang out from within the Han Family courtyard. Imdiately after, Shen Haoran and Han Xu appeared in everyone’s line of sight.
"Manager Lan, the man you were looking for is here!" Seeing Shen Haoran, Han Ding imdiately said to Lan Sha with a fawning smile.
Shen Haoran looked at the servile Han Ding and said with contempt, "The head of a family, bowing and scraping before a re steward. You’ve brought complete disgrace to the Han Family!"
Hearing Shen Haoran’s mockery, Han Ding’s expression soured. He glared and said, "This is a Han Family matter. What right does an outsider like you have to speak? Now just you wait for the Lan Family’s retribution!"
"The Lan Family’s retribution?" Shen Haoran snorted coldly, his gaze shifting to the group from the Lan Family at the main gate.
"You’re the one who injured our Young Master and Elder?" Lan Sha’s eyes narrowed as he stared at Shen Haoran, a cold glint flashing within them.
"That’s right, I did," Shen Haoran said calmly, completely unfazed by the killing intent radiating from Lan Sha.
"Good, brat. In that case, you’ll be coming with us," Lan Sha said coldly.
"Co with you? Why? Who do you think you are? You tell to go with you, and I’m supposed to just obey?" Shen Haoran shot Lan Sha a contemptuous glance and sneered.
"Brat, you’ve offended the Lan Family and you still dare to run your mouth? My Lan Family will definitely not let you off today! Uncle Sha, take him down! I’m going to pull out all the teeth in his mouth and see what else he has to say then!" Lan Yansheng shouted, pointing at Shen Haoran.
"Oh? You still dare to point at ? It seems you’ve forgotten what I said a few days ago," Shen Haoran said, glancing coolly at Lan Yansheng. He then raised his palm and blew on it gently.
Seeing Shen Haoran raise his palm, Lan Yansheng’s face began to burn. The slap Shen Haoran had given him that day still stung. He couldn’t help but take a few steps back, hiding behind Lan Sha.
"Don’t you get cocky, brat!" Lan Sha’s eyes turned vicious. His body shot forward as he threw a punch at Shen Haoran, his aura erupting completely!
"A Spirit Aspect Powerhouse!"
