Chapter 1324: Chapter 1323: Setting Out for Tuo Shi
Ye Qingtian hesitated slightly upon hearing this. Tuo Shi isn’t a place where common people can easily go. Even if Shen Hanxue knows Tuo Shi’s exact location and manages to find it, she might not necessarily be able to meet Su Changfeng. There may be unforeseen dangers.
"Han Xue, why do you suddenly want to go to Tuo Shi?" Ye Qingtian suddenly asked.
Shen Hanxue smiled and said, "Niannian wants to see dad, so I’m taking her to have a look."
"What, you’re taking Niannian with you?" Ye Qingtian asked nervously. It’s known that Shen Nianhai is now Shen family’s little treasure; Ye Qingtian cherishes him dearly and naturally doesn’t want Shen Hanxue to take Ye Nianhai on such a dangerous endeavor.
"That’s right." Shen Hanxue spoke earnestly. Now she has enough strength to protect Ye Nianhai, so she has no need to worry about his safety.
"Han Xue, have you really thought this through? Even if you go to Tuo Shi, the chances of meeting Chang Feng are very low." Huo Tian couldn’t help but remind.
"Grandpa Huo, rest assured. I know what I’m doing." Shen Hanxue said.
Huo Tian had already noticed Shen Hanxue’s difference, not just from her personal charisma but also from her behavior.
Previously, Huo Tian had personally witnessed Shen Hanxue defeating a few thugs who intended harm towards her. That skill left Huo Tian in awe.
Though he didn’t know exactly what happened to Shen Hanxue, he was aware she was completely different from before.
"Han Xue, what exactly happened?" Huo Tian asked with a puzzled look.
"Grandpa Huo, when there’s a chance later, I’ll definitely explain to you all, though for now, I really can’t say." Shen Hanxue said.
Ye Qingtian couldn’t help but sigh; Huo Tian had previously told him that even he might not be able to confront Shen Hanxue; plus, he knew her nature. Once she’s set her mind, it’s hard to change it.
Besides, to some extent, checking out Tuo Shi isn’t bad, at least they can understand Su Changfeng’s current situation. Being completely in the dark was unsettling.
"Have you talked to your dad about this?" Ye Qingtian asked.
"Not yet, but he’ll definitely agree." Shen Hanxue said firmly.
"If that’s the case, then Grandpa won’t stop you, but you must be very careful. If anything happens to you, Grandpa won’t be able to face Chang Feng." Ye Qingtian said.
Shen Hanxue nodded and turned to leave.
"Is she really going to be okay alone?" Ye Qingtian asked seriously to Huo Tian.
"She’s fine. Her skills have far exceeded my expectations, likely left by Changfeng for her, hoping she’d have the ability to protect herself, though he didn’t expect Shen Hanxue to be so gifted." Huo Tian said.
"That’s great. Honestly, I also want to know Chang Feng’s current situation. With no news from Tuo Shi, letting Han Xue take a look is no harm." Ye Qingtian said.
After Shen Hanxue discussed her decision with Shen Zhenhua, he indeed didn’t stop her, only advised her to be extremely careful.
That day, Ye Qingtian, Huo Tian, Ji Hong, and others watched as Shen Hanxue and her daughter left the Mountain Villa.
On the way to Tuo Shi, Shen Hanxue and they encountered several attacks, the attackers came aggressively, clearly intending to kill them, but Shen Hanxue, after absorbing the bead left by Yang Ling, her strength far surpassed normal imagination, so these attacks were nothing to her.
But Shen Hanxue was soft-hearted and didn’t retaliate fiercely against them. Although she didn’t understand why they attacked her and her daughter, she shared Su Changfeng’s views on life and only did what was necessary to defend.
"Mom, so many bad guys, why are they doing bad things?" Ye Nianhai asked Shen Hanxue confusedly.
Holding the little one, Shen Hanxue spoke gently, "Because behind them is a very, very bad villain making them do bad deeds, wait till mom finds that big villain, then everything will be fine."
Ye Nianhai nodded innocently and asked, "Mom, why haven’t we seen dad yet?"
Shen Hanxue’s gaze grew tenderer, she explained, "Very soon."
Ye Nianhai was filled with joy, appearing very excited.
Near Tuo Shi, Shen Hanxue faced several more attacks, but the attackers didn’t seem intent on killing them, merely stopping her from entering Tuo Shi.
After handling these minor troubles, Shen Hanxue finally reached the Yellow Level range.
Though she had never been here before, strangely, she felt a fleeting familiarity.
Amid her surprise, a woman appeared before her.
The woman showed no courtesy, with an arrogant demeanor: "Get out now, people from the secular world don’t belong in Tuo Shi, if you know what’s good for you, leave now, or I won’t show mercy!"
This person was Yin Lulu; since being banished to the Yellow Level, she constantly sought ways to return, but without Yin Zhengyuan’s consent and her own lack of strength, she hadn’t succeeded.
Following this incident, her resentment towards Su Changfeng grew, transferring blame to Shen Hanxue and Ye Nianhai. In fact, the ambush Shen Hanxue experienced was orchestrated by Yin Lulu.
What puzzled Yin Lulu was, despite her careful preparations, how did Shen Hanxue still manage to evade her?
Could it be that Shen Hanxue has a hidden expert protecting her?
"I want to see Su Changfeng, please help me get in touch with him." Shen Hanxue spoke gently, maintaining decorum.
Yet Yin Lulu was indifferent to Shen Hanxue’s manners. Her hatred for Su Changfeng was profound, leading to dislike for Shen Hanxue and Ye Nianhai. She always sought a legitimate reason to kill them, why would she be willing to help them contact Su Changfeng?
"I don’t know any Su Changfeng, but people like you aren’t fit to be here. Last warning, leave now, otherwise, the consequences will be beyond your capacity to handle!" Yin Lulu said.
Shen Hanxue couldn’t help but frown; she could sense unwarranted hostility from the woman. If ordinary people mistakenly came here, would she respond with such anger?
Perhaps there’s a conflict between her and Su Changfeng, thus venting it on her?
Indeed, Shen Hanxue hit the mark.
