Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 1045: Chapter 1044 Meeting Yun Qianqian Again

Yun Family, Guest Reception Hall.

Su Han sat in the first seat below, and above him was the main seat, the seat of the Family Head, indicating that the Yun family’s attitude towards him was quite good.

There were nearly ten people sitting around, chatting and laughing with Su Han, obviously there to accompany him as guests.

Su Han didn’t speak much but was courteous, offering smiles to everyone and nodding occasionally.

However, all of this was nothing but surface-level.

To Su Han, ever since everything that happened that day on the plaza, the actions of the Yun family had completely disheartened him. Now, these polite courtesies seemed somewhat hypocritical.

”Su Zun, having survived a great disaster, must have gained considerable fortunes in that Holy Domain of the Demon Immortal, right?”

A middle-aged man said tentatively, as if casually inquiring. This person was a Guest Elder of the Yun family, without Yun family bloodline, employed by the Yun family, at the peak of the Dragon God Realm, considered a strong practitioner.

”Gains, yes; fortunes, not really,” Su Han replied casually.

”It is said that after Su Zun’s return, he established the Three Great Legions. Judging by the names alone, these legions must be exceptionally powerful!”

Another elder spoke, his aura emanating as he talked, also at the peak of the Dragon God Realm.

Their auras were not deliberately restrained, but it was not to show off their strength; rather, it was to tell Su Han that we are all in the Dragon God Realm, and the Family Head valued you enough to have us accompany you.

Su Han understood naturally but he didn’t care.

Even if these people in front of him were in the Dragon Emperor Realm, he wouldn’t care.

”Indeed, the Phoenix Sect’s Five Divine Guard Corps were already extremely formidable, each corp enough to match a sect. Now that the Three Great Legions have been established, the strength of the Phoenix Sect will surely surge!”

”We should congratulate Su Zun in advance. It may not take long before the Phoenix Sect can firmly sit as a First-Class Sect, and perhaps even glimpse the status of a Super Sect.”

Another person spoke, with a hint of flattery in their words.

However, he was not truly flattering, just raising Su Han up.

Both the estrangement between the Yun family and Su Han, and the meetings the Yun family held to figure out how to mend fences with Su Han, were well known to people of their caliber.

They spoke thus to naturally try to close the gap between them and Su Han.

”You all overestimate it.”

Su Han shook his head and smiled, ”In terms of the number of disciples, the Phoenix Sect lags far behind a First-Class Sect. I never considered the Phoenix Sect to be a First-Class Sect, just as it is rumored outside, the title of a First-Class Sect for the Phoenix Sect was only conferred by the One Slash Palace; from any aspect, the Phoenix Sect cannot meet the threshold of a First-Class Sect.”

”That’s not how it should be said.”

The Guest Elder said, ”Everyone understands the power of the Phoenix Sect. Although the number of disciples is small, the quality is extremely high. Su Zun should not underestimate himself.”

Hearing this, Su Han smiled and didn’t reply.

In the ensuing time, everyone was looking for things to talk about, with every word revealing flattery and adulation towards Su Han. It almost came to explicitly saying to Su Han, our Yun family wants to cultivate good relations with you.

”Hahaha, Su Zun’s arrival without notifying, and we have not welcomed you in advance, I hope Su Zun won’t feel neglected!”

At this moment, a loud laugh suddenly came from outside the Guest Reception Hall, and everyone turned their heads to see two figures approaching from outside.

A man and a woman, the man was an old man, and the words just now came from his mouth.

As for the woman...

From the moment she saw Su Han, her gaze never left him.

Su Han’s gaze met hers, and seeing the shimmer of tears in her beautiful eyes, he sighed inwardly and nodded gently.

This woman was naturally Yun Qianqian!

Between Yun Qianqian and Su Han, they seemed like friends, but during the sect competition, Yun Qianqian was framed by Yun Congcong and Song Mingshu and almost died, being saved by Su Han. Upon waking, Yun Qianqian’s view of Su Han seemed to have developed from friendship into something else.

Su Han was unaware of this.

This was the first meeting between the two since Yun Qianqian woke up.

”Sect Master Su, have you been well lately?”

Seeing Su Han’s eyes fixed on Yun Qianqian, the old man’s eyes lit up, and he laughed loudly.

This person, Su Han remembered, was Yun Chengyu, a Dragon Emperor Realm practitioner who had led the Yun Family disciples during the sect competition!

”As expected.”

When looking at Yun Chengyu, Su Han’s smile faded, and he nodded slightly.

His attitude made everyone around him momentarily dazed, but Yun Chengyu seemed to see nothing, laughing loudly once more: ”Judging by Sect Master Su’s complexion, you must be doing well. Since Sect Master Su’s return, the news about you and the Phoenix Sect has been one after another, and your influence on the Dragon Martial Continent today is truly extraordinary!”

”Just being commended.” Su Han said blandly.

As he spoke, Yun Chengyu and Yun Qianqian had already entered the Guest Reception Hall.

Yun Chengyu sat opposite Su Han, while Yun Qianqian stood at the doorway, looking rather restrained, unsure of what to do.

”Come, sit by my side.” Su Han beckoned to Yun Qianqian, showing a smile.

Yun Qianqian was taken aback, bit her lip then lightly stepped over to sit beside Su Han.

”Are your injuries healed?” Su Han asked with a smile.

”Healed.”

Yun Qianqian dared not meet Su Han’s eyes; her white slender hands gently wrung together, seemingly a little nervous.

”You’ve changed.”

Su Han laughed, ”The Yun Qianqian I know was quite willful and domineering, not at all like this bashful, delicate girl who doesn’t dare speak.”

Upon hearing this, Yun Qianqian was stunned, then suddenly lifted her head, and the tears in her eyes finally couldn’t be held back any longer and flowed down.

”Su Han, I’m sorry, I’m sorry...” She sobbed, uttering words she’s long wished to say.

”Enough.”

Su Han smiled, stretched out his hand, and gently wiped away the tears on Yun Qianqian’s pretty face, saying, ”Why cry, what’s there to cry about? If you keep this up, I wouldn’t dare to sit here.”

”Don’t!”

Yun Qianqian hastily grabbed Su Han’s hand, as if afraid he would leave at that moment.

The soft warmth from her hand conveyed to him, and Su Han sighed again, not speaking further.

Su Han naturally understood what Yun Qianqian’s ’sorry’ meant.

She did not wrong Su Han; the true betrayal to Su Han came from the Yun family.

Yun Qianqian was apologizing on behalf of the Yun family to Su Han.

Ever since learning of the matter, Yun Qianqian had not slept by day or night. She was someone who remembered kindness and knew how much Su Han had helped the Yun family, yet in the end, the grand Yun family...

Could be deemed ungrateful!
