“Dad, is what you said true?” Shan Wei was dumbfounded. He couldn’t believe his ears. His heart was beating uncontrollably. He was so excited that he couldn’t breathe properly.
“Of course. Would Dad lie to you?”
Shan Qingyuan glanced at his good-for-nothing son and could not help but sigh in his heart. In order to prevent the Shan family’s huge business from falling into the hands of others, he had to live for more than a hundred years.
In the past, Shan Qingyuan did not dare to hope for immortality. However, now that he had the Second World, which was completely simulated in reality, he did not plan to hand over the power to his son.
How could Shan Wei understand what Shan Qingyuan meant? At this moment, his entire body was filled with excitement and anticipation.
He had already begun to imagine himself obtaining the most powerful skills in the game and being successful in reality.
“Dad, other than this news, is there any other information?” Shan Wei asked impatiently, wishing that time could jump to a year later.
“Do you really think your dad is so resourceful? I’ve naturally heard them mention this before. As for how far the fusion will go, we will have to wait for the follow-up.”
Shan Wei took a deep breath and nodded. “Okay, Dad. If there’s anything you need me to do, just tell me.”
Han Xing? All of them are bullsh*t! He was filled with contempt. Once he came into contact with Star Rebel, he would definitely be the first to finish off Han Xing.
He had never suffered such grievances in his life. Han Xing dared to hit him on his first visit and did not show him any respect at all.
When he thought about how he would torture Han Xing with his skills, the resentment in his heart slowly dissipated. With Han Xing’s small Han family, how could the Han family fight him?
The next morning, the Shan family had finished packing. They were all dressed solemnly. Shan Ling, who was standing in the corner, waved at Han Xing. Han Xing immediately understood and walked over.
“This ritual is especially boring. I’ll sneak out to play with you when the time comes,” whispered Shan Ling whispered.
Han Xing laughed, “That’s enough. If your family finds out, they’ll scold you again.”
Shan Ling pursed her lips and replied, “Anyway, they’re always unhappy with me, so it doesn’t matter if it happens again today.”
When the group arrived at the venue, Han Xing glanced at the bronze stone lion that was as tall as two people. The stone lion was carved vividly and looked majestic.
As soon as he entered, he was almost blinded by the decorations of the event venue. All kinds of expensive flowers were placed in the center of the altar, and even medicinal herbs which were extremely hard to find were all there.
As expected of the biggest event in the Northern Province, it was truly grand. Han Xing sighed inwardly.
“All of you bodyguards, wait outside. It’s fine as long as you can see the center of the altar from afar.”
Before Han Xing could enter, he was stopped by the security guards at the event venue. They pointed at the spot where many bodyguards were behind and gestured for Han Xing to stand over there.
Han Xing did not say anything. When he arrived, he found that the bodyguards were standing in a good position. Other than being a little further away from the center of the altar, there was nothing wrong with it.
Shan Ling had already reached the center of the crowd. She glanced at Han Xing and waved at him from afar.
This kind of worship event had a lot of cumbersome etiquette and actions to begin with. At this moment, all kinds of rules had been set. Han Xing was really bored. The venue was really noisy. In such an open-air place, the only place he could go was the bathroom.
Han Xing didn’t expect that he would have to hide in such a place. He looked amused and helpless. He could hear the noisy music outside, so it was probably even more deafening.
Han Xing sat there for a while and took out his phone to search for information about the Wang family. Just as he was about to leave, he heard light footsteps coming from outside.
Two bodyguards were smoking at the door of the bathroom. One of them looked at the grand ceremony and said in frustration, “It’s so boring to do this every year.”
“Forget it, pal.”
Another bodyguard patted his shoulder with a cigarette in his mouth and said, “We’re paid to do things for others. We’re just here to maintain order.”
“However, this year is strange. There are far more descendants of the aristocratic families than last year.”
Hearing this, the bodyguard with a cigarette in his mouth said confidently, “Of course. Let me tell you in secret, and I also heard it in secret. So many families seem to have joined forces for that game in the Second World.”
Han Xing, who was about to push the door open, was stunned. He stopped what he was doing and listened from the corner.
“Really?” One of the bodyguards was also a little surprised. He asked, “It’s just a crappy game. How could it be so amazing that so many people join forces?”
The bodyguard with a cigarette in his mouth shook his head and replied, “I’m not sure either. Anyway, that’s what I heard. In short, it doesn’t feel too simple.”
The two of them chatted for a while longer before leaving. Han Xing did not expect these people to be so bold. The few words from these bodyguards allowed him to quickly piece together the purpose of these families.
They wanted to join forces and annex most of the resources in the Second World. It seemed that they had set their sights on the Second World. He had to make preparations.
Fortunately, he was in the Northern Province. If he found anything that was off, he would be able to inform North Star and the others in time. North Star had the most tricks up his sleeve and could take charge of the situation when he was not around.
As soon as Han Xing left the washroom, he returned to see all the young masters kneeling down at the center of the altar. They all looked extremely devout as if they were asking the heavens to bless them.
Only Shan Ling’s expression was really frustrated. She was at the end of the line and no one noticed her at all.
The smell of sandalwood wafted from the surroundings. All kinds of exquisitely carved objects were burning at the moment. The entire venue was engulfed by heat waves. The white pigeons carved on special paper were all blown into the sky by them using special methods.
This scene looked sacred and solemn, but one’s greed was always endless. Whether they were praying to the heavens or praying for their own desires, Han Xing had an inkling about it.
An hour later.
The bodyguards’ clothes were all drenched in sweat, and the people in the center were in an even worse state. Sweat kept dripping down their faces. The noble ladies who were usually dressed up exquisitely had completely shredded their image at this moment.
“D*mn it! These scions are really torturing people!”
One of the bodyguards beside him secretly spat, but Han Xing’s face remained expressionless. He did not know what these descendants were thinking. Why did they have to choose a sunny day for such worship? It was so hot that it was about to explode.
When it was finally over, these aristocratic children ran faster than anyone else and went to the back to change their clothes. Only Shan Ling jogged to Han Xing..
