After the rain, the sky was especially clear. The gentle spring rain seemed to have the magic to wash away all the filth in the air, leaving only the most fresh air. The plants that had been sleeping for the entire winter seemed to be awakened by the drizzle, carefully spitting out tender branches and timidly looking at the outside world.

After throwing the water droplets off his clothes, Han Xiao took a deep breath of the fresh air. The corner of his mouth raised into a faint smile, and when he turned around and saw Little Lei Zi complaining about the sudden rain, his eyes flashed with amusement as he said: "Little Lei Zi, you haven't heard a word, there's a God in the sky above you, and you're complaining about not being heard by the gods in the sky. Another rain, and it's just above your head."

"Ah, Seventh Prince, don't joke with me. Moreover, there's a deity with a head of three feet. Where did a deity come from in the celestial realm?" Little Lei Zi said as he unhappily took off his slightly wet clothes.

Hearing Xiao Lei's words, Han Xiao was speechless for a moment, he had almost forgotten that the people of the Kuang Xiao Continent did not believe in the gods in the sky, this world was after all different from his original world, although he knew it in his heart, but Han Xiao still unconsciously recalled the past, as if remembering had already become a necessity in his life, and sometimes he even thought that he was still in the 21st century, or even that Ouyang Minghe.

"I was kindly advising you. Little Lei Zi, we still need to continue on our way after you change your clothes. It's only three months until the recruitment time at the Abyss Level Academy. I don't want to waste my time on the journey." With that said, Han Xiao raised his foot and walked forward.

"Ah, Seventh Prince, wait for me." Seeing that Han Xiao had really left, Little Lei Zi did not dare delay any longer and quickly fixed his clothes, chasing after Han Xiao.

Maybe it was because he was not bound by the rules of the palace, but when Little Lei Zi talked to Han Xiao, he was no longer as cautious as he was in the palace. Instead, he was more and more casual, causing Han Xiao to think that maybe he was being too nice to Little Lei Zi, causing Little Lei Zi to think that he was being a little too polite.

After walking for a while, Han Xiao heard the sounds of fighting coming from in front of him. With a frown, he turned around and walked in the opposite direction.

"Seventh Prince, why did you suddenly return?" Han Xiao, who was walking towards him, asked curiously.

"There's a fight ahead. Let's take another route." Han Xiao said indifferently, without any expression on his face.

When Little Lei Zi heard Han Xiao's words, he widened his eyes in disbelief as he looked at Han Xiao and said, "Seventh Prince, how can you leave like this? When did you become so cold-blooded?" As soon as the words left his mouth, Little Lei Zi realized he had said the wrong thing and hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look at Han Xiao as if he was worried Han Xiao would scold him.

However, after looking down for half a day, Little Lei Zi did not hear anything. He lifted his head to see Han Xiao looking at him with a calm expression, but a scarlet light flashed in the depths of his eyes.

"Let's go." Han Xiao turned around and quickly ran towards the direction of the fight, and Little Lei Zi momentarily blanked out before immediately following behind Han Xiao.

Following Han Xiao's Qi to the location of the fight, Little Lei Zi saw a dead body lying on the ground, Han Xiao was standing in front of a young couple, with a drop of blood on the Eagle Peak Sword in his hand. Behind the corpse stood a dozen or so men in coarse clothes, all of them looking at Han Xiao with eyes full of fear.

"However, you guys are already at the late stage of the Revolving Core realm, yet you want to learn how to rob others? I'll count to three if you guys still haven't left." After he finished speaking, he released the aura of the middle stage of the Soul Condensation from Han Xiao's body without any concealment.

Sensing the pressure coming from Han Xiao's body, the faces of the ten over people had already turned pale from fright. They looked at each other and shouted as they ran.

After seeing those people run away, Han Xiao turned his hand and kept the Eagle Peak Sword. When he kept the Eagle Peak Sword, he saw the undisguised greed in the young man's eyes, and a cold light flashed in his eyes as he turned and walked towards Little Lei Zi.

"He's already been rescued. Let's go." Han Xiao said indifferently.

Xiao Lei Zi froze for a second, feeling the cold aura on Han Xiao's body, his heart trembled and he quickly followed Han Xiao.

"Senior, please wait." The rescued man saw that Han Xiao was about to leave and anxiously shouted.

"What else is there?" Han Xiao asked with a faint smile on his face.

Although Han Xiao's voice was very gentle, the man still felt a wave of coldness attack him. Clenching his teeth, he said, "Senior, in the next week, this is my little sister, Zhou Yun'er. We originally wanted to go to the Abyss Ming Academy, but the robbers just now had our Soul Stones and the thousand year old Lanzhi Grass that we had unintentionally collected.

"For you? Just now when I took action to save you guys, it was already filled with compassion. I didn't even ask you guys for my money, but you actually let me help you take back what the robbers took away because you were useless? " Han Xiao coldly laughed as he spoke, his harsh words instantly filling Zhou Yun'er's eyes with tears.

"Junior also knows that junior's request is too excessive, but that Yun Zhi Grass is something that we took back to save the clan leader." Junior also knows that junior's request is too much, but that Yun Zhi Grass is something we brought back to save the clan leader. His furrowed eyebrows made it seem like he was truly worried for the family head.

"Seventh Prince, you're too kind to the end. Look at how pitiful they are. It wouldn't make sense if they didn't make a move, right?" Xiao Lei Zi's heart softened as he said that.

Hearing Xiao Lei's words, Han Xiao rolled his eyes helplessly. He really suspected that Xiao Lei Zi was a girl pretending. Such a large amount of sympathy made him look like a lady from a noble family that did not even step out of the house.

As he looked at Zhou Ming's sincere face, Han Xiao lowered his head, thought for a moment, then said with a bright smile on his face: "Alright, then I'll help you all out for the sake of Lil 'Lei-zi, but we agreed that the things in that bandit's nest can be considered as my reward."

"As long as senior is willing to help." Zhou Ming said sincerely as a hint of viciousness flashed across his eyes.

"Alright, I agree." Han Xiao nodded his head and said.

When Zhou Ming saw Han Xiao agree, his face revealed a hint of a relaxed smile.

Waiting for Zhou Ming and Zhou Yun'er to rest for a while, Han Xiao followed the two towards the bandit's base. Along the way, Han Xiao did not ask Zhou Ming and Zhou Yun'er how they knew where the bandit's base was, nor did he ask how many people there were.

When they arrived at a fork in the road, Zhou Ming looked at the dark sky and said, "Senior Han, it's getting late, I can't help but get some food to eat. Let's rest for a while before we continue walking."

He looked deeply at Zhou Ming, then said with a faint smile: "Okay."

Having obtained Han Xiao's consent, Zhou Ming turned around and quickly ran towards the east. Seeing that Zhou Ming had left, Han Xiao stood up and walked to Zhou Yun'er's side. He did not say a word to Zhou Yun'er, but perhaps it was because he had not yet walked out from the shadows of the afternoon.

After a while, Zhou Ming ran back with a newly killed Spiritual Beast in his hand. He quickly ripped off its skin and pulled out its bones, before starting a fire to roast. Meanwhile, Han Xiao had been watching on from the side, deep in thought.

After about an hour, the fragrant roasted meat finally recovered. After eating, Han Xiao and Little Lei Zi went to the side to find a place to sleep, until they were sure that Han Xiao and Little Lei Zi had really fallen asleep. The smile on Zhou Ming's face disappeared, and he directly pulled Zhou Yun'er who was sitting on the ground.

"Yun'er, if we finish this ticket, we'll definitely be able to make a fortune." Zhou Ming said.

"Big brother, if it wasn't for Senior Han helping us today, big brother's group would have chased us to our deaths. How could you want to harm them now?" Zhou Yun'er said with dissatisfaction.

Humph, don't pretend to be so arrogant. Actually, you only have your eyes on Senior Han's handsome appearance, otherwise, why didn't you tell them when I was looking for food. We planned to lure them to the mountain stronghold and use them to kill Big Brother and the others? Zhou Ming snorted and said.

Hearing Zhou Ming say that, Zhou Yun'er went silent for a moment. Before she could say anything, she heard a burst of applause. Then, she turned around and saw Han Xiao and Little Lei Zi, who should have been sleeping in the distance, appear behind them.

"Borrowing a knife to kill someone is such a good idea. Unfortunately, the thing that I hate the most is someone using me." With that, Han Xiao's figure flashed and directly appeared beside Zhou Ming. He brandished the Eagle Peak Sword in his hand and directly cut Zhou Ming's body into two halves.

"Ah!" Seeing the person who was alive just a moment ago die like this, Zhou Yun'er could no longer hold back the fear in her heart and shouted out. Her gaze towards Han Xiao was filled with fear.

"I'll spare your life on account of your kindness just now." With that, Han Xiao kept his Eagle Peak Sword and left with Little Lei Zi.

After walking for some distance, Little Lei Zi suddenly ran in front of Han Xiao, and under Han Xiao's astonished gaze, he kneeled down.

"Little Lei Zi has rebelled greatly today. Please punish him, Seventh Prince." Little Lei Zi lowered his head and said.

"Little Lei, do you know why I went to save them today?" Han Xiao indifferently said.

"Why?" Little Lei Zi looked up at Han Xiao and asked curiously.

Because you said I was cold-blooded, and the reason why I took action is to tell you that it's not because I'm cold-blooded, but because the people of this world are too cold-blooded. If you can adapt to this cold-blooded world, then follow me. With that, Han Xiao left without a trace of reluctance.

Looking at Han Xiao's back, Little Lei Zi stood up and chased after Han Xiao.
