On the peak of the mountain …

"Elder sister, did you see that childhood sweetheart of yours?" Shuang'er's eyes narrowed as she asked with a mischievous expression.

After hearing Shuang'er's words, Lin Meng Han's face reddened. She ignored her and looked down with a worried expression.

"Sister, Father is looking this way!" Shuang'er saw that her sister was ignoring her, so she snorted and immediately looked down the mountain. Coincidentally, she saw Jin Buyi's gaze, so she said this with a nervous expression.

After hearing Shuang'er's words, Lin Meng Han's face was also filled with panic, "Where?"

"I've already seen it." Shuang'er pouted, looking unhappy as she spoke to Lin Meng Han.

"It's over, it's all over!" "Now that I've been killed by you, my lord father will definitely punish us again!" Lin Meng Han looked at Shuang'er with worry.

"Then what should we do? Go back? "Big sister …" Shuang'er had a bitter expression as she asked Lin Meng Han.

"Since you're already here, just wait a bit!" At this time, Lin Meng Han calmed down, looked down at the cave and said.

When Shuang'er saw Lin Meng Han like this, she stared at her with a strange expression on her face, her large eyes blinking incessantly.

Seeing Shuang'er staring at him, a red cloud quietly rose up on Lin Meng Han's white face.

"Stupid girl, what are you looking at me for? Help me keep an eye on the ground!" Lin Meng Han couldn't stand Shuang'er's pair of large eyes. She knocked on her forehead as she spoke to her.

"Oh!" Shuang'er rubbed her forehead, then narrowed her eyes and smiled as she looked down. It was impossible to tell what she was thinking.

"..."

"Third Grandpa, you stay here and take care of Father and Mother. I'll go out and take a look." Lin Han saw that Lin Yuan's face was a little redder after taking the pill, so he told San Ye who was at the side.

"Go, and be careful. I am enough here." Third Grandpa sat cross-legged on the floor, recovering from his injuries. He spoke to Lin Han without raising his head.

Upon seeing his third grandfather's actions, Lin Han slightly nodded his head before walking out.

"Looks like I have to cultivate Little Han more in the future. I can't let him waste the opportunity to go to the Ivy Pavilion." Sensing the sound of Lin Han's footsteps, San Ye opened his eyes and said in a low voice.

With that, he closed his eyes and started to absorb the surrounding spiritual energy to catalyze the pills in his body.

Looking at the searching army outside, Lin Han was surprised to find that the people with the lowest cultivation level were all Fourth Layer Body Disciples.

Tightening the grip on his Purple Gold Token, Lin Han felt his own strength being insignificant, and a thirst for power welled up in his heart.

Lin Han came to the side of the cave and used the "Reverse Mechanism Technique" according to the method that his third grandfather taught him.

With a "kacha" sound, a sound suddenly came from the floor of the cave. Following that, a stone staircase was revealed.

Lin Han looked down and slowly walked down the stone steps. After walking for about a hundred meters, he heard a ruckus coming from below.

"How long are we going to stay underground?!" The sound of a child crying came out.

"I wonder if the Village Chief and the others managed to repel the demons?" An old voice said shakily.

"With how powerful the Village Head is, and how powerful Lin Han's cousin is, he will definitely be able to defeat them!" At this time, a tender voice loudly said.

"..."

Upon hearing the voice below, even in the dark and damp underground, Lin Han felt a surge of warmth.

"Who is it?" Just as Lin Han took two steps forward, he heard a cautious voice.

"I am Lin Han!" Lin Han suddenly shouted in the direction of the voice.

Just as Lin Han finished his sentence, a silhouette emerged from the shadows.

He glanced at Lin Han's face, and walked towards him with a look of pleasant surprise on his face.

Looking at the approaching man, Lin Han recognized him. His name was Lin Dazhuang, and he was a member of the village's hunting team. He was in his twenties, and was already at the sixth layer of Body Fusion, just one step away from the seventh layer.

"Big bro Dazhuang is you!" Lin Han greeted him.

"Xiao Han, why are you here? Could it be that the Village Chief and the rest have already defeated the demons?" Lin Dazhuang walked in front of Lin Han in a few steps, and asked him with a look of pleasant surprise.

"Yes!" The demon race has already been chased away, so I came here to pick you up. " Lin Han looked at Lin Dazhuang and said with a smile.

Hearing Lin Han's words, Lin Dazhuang ran down excitedly, shouting, "The demons have been chased away!"

Looking at Lin Dazhuang running down the stairs, Lin Han could not help but feel delighted.

With Lin Dazhuang's announcement, the Lin Family villagers quickly packed their belongings and headed out of the cave.

Lin Han saw that everyone was about to leave the cave, so he chose to leave first and headed outside.

"..."

"Sister! You saw through it, do you think it's him? " Shuang'er saw someone walk out from the cave, and she excitedly called out to Lin Meng Han.

After Lin Meng Han heard Shuang'er's words, she looked towards the cave. The first person she saw was Lin Han, who had walked out of the cave.

"It's him!" It's really him! " Upon seeing Lin Han, the corners of Lin Meng Han's mouth twitched as she silently muttered to herself.

When Shuang'er saw that Lin Menghan had been talking about him, she thought it was because of her childhood sweetheart; she was too excited.

Thinking of this, Shuang'er's eyes narrowed as a sinister smile crept up her face, and she shouted towards Lin Han's direction: "Hey!"

Lin Meng Han had been muttering to herself about him. She didn't know what Shuang'er was planning, so after Shuang'er called out, she came back to her senses. Her expression immediately changed, and she unexpectedly walked to the side.

However, just as she was about to leave, she saw Lin Han staring at her.

Lin Meng Han's gaze followed the direction of her gaze, and all she saw was a pair of suspicious eyes that slowly turned into a look of pleasant surprise. At this time, Lin Meng Han realized that she had forgotten her surroundings, and she couldn't feel the cool breeze that blew past her, or the chirping of birds, or even Shuang'er's voice.

The only thing he could feel were those eyes. Those eyes were still burning hot, those eyes were still pure, and those eyes were still filled with memories.

The moment Shuang'er turned around, the first thing she saw were two streams of tears, followed by a look of grievance and helplessness.

Why was my sister crying? Shouldn't I be happy to see my childhood sweetheart? Or what happened to it? Could it be that that man was a heartless person, and had let down his sister?

If that's the case, then this man is really a bastard. I can't let my sister shed tears for such a person.

Thinking of this, Shuang'er immediately grabbed Lin Meng Han's hand and pulled her to the back. "Elder sister, don't cry for such a heartless man. There are many good men who can line up from the City Lord's Mansion to his Lin Family Village's entrance."

Shuang'er pulled Lin Meng Han's hands as she consoled her.

However, just as she finished her sentence, she saw Lin Menghan crying even more sorrowfully. She felt a bit puzzled, so she quickly shut her mouth.

Just as Lin Han emerged from the hole, he heard someone shouting and subconsciously looked in his direction. However, he saw someone he absolutely did not expect.

A person that had always been buried deep within his heart. He had always wanted to find her. He wanted to rush up to her and ask her why she had left.

Then he saw her walking toward the back, and he wanted to catch up, to figure it all out.

"Big brother Lin Han!" Just at this moment, a tearful voice reached his ears, and a pair of arms came from behind to hug him.

The idea that was just ignited in his mind was instantly destroyed by the voice. The figure in his mind was slowly replaced by the voice behind him.

Lin Han abruptly turned around and looked at Lin Qingya who was crying, gently wiping away her tears, gently patting her back.

"I've always been here. I've always been protecting little sister Xiao Ya." Lin Han softly said to Lin Qingya in front of him.

"..."

On top of the mountain, two fire cloud colored mounts were fidgeting with their hooves. Lin Meng Han was riding on them, as well as her own Shuang'er.

"Still saying that he is not a heartless person? It's already been half a day. If he wasn't so heartless, why didn't he chase after us? Shuang'er muttered softly by his side.

Perhaps it was because she had heard Shuang'er's mutterings that Lin Meng Han was stunned.

"Is he blaming me? "He should be blaming me," Lin Meng Han mumbled, her voice was filled with endless grief and grievance.

After a while, Lin Meng Han wiped the tears from her face, and the grievance and sadness in her eyes quietly disappeared.

"Lin Han, don't tell me you didn't even give me a chance to explain before becoming so heartless!" Lin Meng Han looked down. Even though there was a mountain rock between them, her mournful eyes seemed to be able to pierce through the mountain and see someone's heart.

With that, he changed his direction and left the area on his mount.

Seeing Lin Meng Han's reaction, Shuang'er was at a loss for words!

How could this woman change her mind faster than flipping a book? Am I not a woman? Am I going to become like this in the future?

Shaking her head, Shuang'er tossed aside this terrifying thought and urged her mount, chasing after Lin Meng Han.

Dusk slowly approached. The two figures on the mountain took advantage of the afterglow of the setting sun to advance into the distance. At the foot of the mountain, he gently wiped away her tears and stroked her back. The two figures slowly lengthened in the dusk before finally merging into one.
