Chapter #75. Am I That Popular?In a matter of days, with the tactics and strategies led by General Guan Feng and the pills created by Tian Fan, most of the undead that could be saved were successfully healed. The rest were incinerated by General Guan Feng's Red Dragon Corps and the cultivators of the Moon Sect and Star Sect under the leadership of Sect Master Shaosheng.Tian Fan's modified explosive pills made it easier for the Red Dragon Corps and the disciples of the Moon and Star Sects to destroy the unrecoverable undead.The operation was an absolute success, achieving a 100 percent success rate with a 0 percent fatality rate."Master Fan, this is a blessing for the Han Kingdom and all its people, thanks to your significant contribution. I have reported our military operation's great achievements to King Han Fu," General Guan Feng said."Elder Yelu and all the others, King Han Fu has given me the order to escort you back to the capital today. Please prepare to return," General Gu
Chapter #76. Emotional ReunionGuan Yu and Guan Wei realized that a young man from the Sun Sect had been discreetly glancing in their direction since he arrived."Big brother, that kid has been staring at us the whole time," Guan Wei whispered to his older brother, Guan Yu."I know. A disciple from the Sun Sect must be from an upper-class family. Maybe he's related to someone we've crossed paths with before," Guan Yu replied softly to his younger brother."The problem is, the kid who has been watching us is Master Fan, a Gold-level alchemist. We might end up in hot water with Father when we return," Guan Wei said, contemplating the situation."Enough, don't overthink it! There's no use worrying about something that hasn't happened yet. Whatever comes our way, we'll face it without fear," Guan Yu said firmly.They both knew that their previous troublesome behavior, like their constant sparring to hone their skills and their rebellious attitudes, was their way of showing resistance beca
Chapter #77. The Guan FamilyAfter reuniting with his two mentors and realizing they had become a free spectacle for everyone, Tian Fan finally rose from his seat."Please wait, Masters," he said to his two mentors. Tian Fan then stood up and walked towards King Han and the queen.Tian Fan extended his hand toward King Han and began to speak."Your Majesty, this junior apologizes if earlier I was unaware of the proper etiquette and failed to show the respect that Your Majesty deserved.""This junior apologizes and is ready to accept any punishment from Your Majesty," Tian Fan spoke candidly and firmly.Hearing this, Guan Yu and Guan Wei hurriedly stood beside Tian Fan, facing King Han Fu."No, Your Majesty, it was our fault. Please, punish us," Guan Wei said quickly.King Han Fu smiled broadly, appreciating the attitude of the student and teacher. He was very pleased and respected those who took responsibility, especially those who apologized."Why should I punish all of you? While, i
Chapter #78. OriginsGuan Yu and Guan Wei stood guard at the entrance to the Guan family's room. They were there following the orders of the family matriarch, Lady Yang. They reluctantly obeyed her orders to prevent more embarrassing punishments.Meanwhile, Tian Fan, along with Lady Yang and his mentor aunts, engaged in lively conversation inside the room. They discussed many aspects of Tian Fan's experiences.Tian Fan felt the warmth of the family from his elder teacher and mentor aunts. He was delighted by their open-mindedness, especially their disregard for his status as an herbalist and alchemist. They focused more on listening to Tian Fan's tales of his life journey over the past twelve years, his experiences, and the people he had encountered. Laughter filled the room when they heard the humorous moments Tian Fan had experienced, and sadness when they heard about the hardships he had faced.While Tian Fan told his story, Lady Yang gazed intently at Tian Fan. His face seemed fam
Chapter #79. Bring Your Brain Along!Tian Fan left the room with a grim expression. Something he had hidden for a long time about the handprint scar was now disturbing his heart and mind.(Who injured mother so severely that she had to endure this pain for so long?)(Where is father, really? Why didn't he look for both of us for years?)(Where do they come from? Why did they both come to this eastern continent?)Various questions and perceptions swirled in his head, and all the possibilities led to negative assumptions.Unconsciously, Tian Fan passed by his teachers and aunties, Guan Yu and Guan Wei, who looked slightly puzzled by his behavior.Tian Fan took steps towards the back garden of the Guan family, a place filled with various colorful flowers, and lush greenery. However, the serene atmosphere couldn't ease the turmoil in his heart. Suddenly, an ambush from behind struck hard at Tian Fan's back.Bam... Thud...A single punch and a kick sent Tian Fan tumbling to the ground."Hm
Chapter #80. The Cobra SnakeThe sun rose from the eastern horizon, signaling the approach of morning. With his eyes still closed, Tian Fan stretched his body, relaxing all his stiff muscles from the battle with his two masters.While cultivators didn't need sleep, it was different for Tian Fan. Sleep was important to him because it benefited his mental and physical health. Sleep made him more productive and enhanced his physical capacity. Moreover, sleeping after taking purification pills could accelerate the healing process and tissue repair in his body.As Tian Fan stretched, he found both of his hands blocked by something on his right and left sides.Tian Fan glanced to his right and left to discover that his two masters were also asleep, lying beside him."Why are the masters here?" he muttered to himself."Oh, right! I forgot. The masters were kicked out of Aunt Xiu Zhu's and Aunt Xiu Ran's rooms," he continued."Stupid! We weren't kicked out. We wanted to keep you company and h
Chapter #81: AntsTian Fan, Ma Xue, Mrs. Yang, and Mrs. Ma sat in one of the rooms. Tian Fan reexamined Ma Xue's pulse to reconfirm his earlier diagnosis. Afterward, he took a deep breath."Mrs. Ma, did Miss Xue experience this illness when she was under 5 years old?""Yes, that's correct. I remember the illness occurred when Xue was two years old.""Did Miss Xue complain of any pain or fever at that time?""At that time, Xue's parents found her lying in the backyard of our residence. According to the doctor who examined her back then, Xue was suffering from acute fatigue and high fever, which led to her losing consciousness. We also found no visible injuries on her body," explained Mrs. Ma."That's indeed peculiar. This junior believes that might not be the cause. It seems like there's something Mrs. Ma and Miss Xue's parents overlooked earlier.""Based on my examination, there's a possibility that Miss Xue was poisoned by a beast, more precisely, a type of ant, probably the bullet a
Chapter #82. The Truth "Dear! Before you open that box, you must know who I am. What you've heard is the Xiao, Sima, Tian, and Zhao family's secret, only disclosed to direct descendants or family heirs. Pay attention to what I'm about to tell you and keep it to yourself." "My name is Sima, my full name is Sima Yang, and I am a direct descendant of the Sima family, the ninetieth generation." "The Sima and Xiao families are ancient families and the first to descend to this continent, followed by the Tian and Zhao families." Tian Fan furrowed his brow, showing his confusion at Lady Yang's words. "You'll know the details when you meet your extended family. For now, I'll give you a brief overview of our ancient family lineage." "Let's continue, shall we? Since ancient times, there has been conflict among these four ancient families, and even now, such conflicts still arise. To balance power, the first ancient families to arrive on this continent, the Xiao and Sima families, who were i
