Seeing that Little Lei Zi had nodded, Han Xiao waved his hand and had Little Lei Zi and Xiao Jianfeng follow him out of the crowd.

When Han Xiao and the other two had completely disappeared, Prince Ma spat on the ground and glared at the surrounding people. He coldly said, "Go, send someone to follow them! I want to see who that kid is! He even dares to offend the Third Prince!" With that, Prince Ma turned and left, while the sturdy man beside him had a bitter expression on his face as he chased after Han Xiao and the rest.

On the other side, Han Xiao who was far away from the crowd retracted his arrogant look. He looked behind him with the corner of his mouth raised in a mocking smile and said, "That Prince Ma really doesn't want to give up."

After walking for another hour or so, Lu Chen finally arrived at the Duke of Xiao's mansion under Xiao Jianfeng's lead. He lifted his head and saw the bold four words written on the plaque of the Duke of Xiao's mansion.

"Hiss." Sensing the change in his emotions, Han Xiao quickly regained his senses. He turned around to see Little Lei Zi's infatuated look, his fists clenched tightly as if he wanted to fight in the battlefield right now.

"These four words were personally written by the late emperor. Because the late emperor was famous for his war prowess, these four words were filled with a strong will to fight. Normally, the first time you see them during the Soul Transformation stage, you would be affected." Xiao Jianfeng said from the side, his tone full of pride.

"Grandfather originally fought alone against five hundred enemy soldiers. I'm afraid the fighting spirit in this area is more because Grandfather's aura is still intact." Han Xiao said with a smile.

"Hahaha, good, you are indeed Yun'er's child." A hearty laughter came from the courtyard as a white-haired old man dressed in a dark purple forest suddenly walked out of the Xiao Mansion with big steps. His beard was trembling because of his excitement, and although he was not young anymore, he had been through a lot and had given off a strong killing intent.

"Old Shoushan." Xiao Jianfeng said with a smile on his face as he bowed.

"Grandfather." Han Xiao smiled lightly as he walked in front of Xiao Ba Ya, carefully took out the spiritual herbs he bought and said, "Grandfather, Xiao'er doesn't know what Grandfather likes. You should take these spiritual herbs first, it can be considered Xiao'er's little kindness."

"Alright, alright. Xiao'er is indeed the most filial. Come, don't just stand outside. Steward, housekeeper, quickly prepare some pastries. Kids like to eat sweet things. They need dessert." Xiao Ba Ya excitedly said as he tightly held onto Han Xiao, as if he was afraid that Han Xiao would lose himself in the process.

Han Xiao also had a smile on his face, as if he was very happy to see his grandfather, but his heart was cold. Han Xiao was also smiling, as if he was very happy to see his grandfather, but his heart was very cold.

Entering the main hall, Han Xiao saw the butler bring a few plates of exquisite pastries and place them on the table. Han Xiao casually picked up a piece, and was instantly choked by the sweetness of the pastries.

"Haha, what you're doing is exactly the same as how your mother was when she was young. Seeing you like this … Yun'er's hard work in the past hasn't been in vain." After saying that, Xiao Ba Ya sighed.

"With Imperial Mother's painstaking efforts, grandpa Xiao'er has always been very strange. Back then, Imperial Mother Ming was the strongest expert of the Yun Ming Dynasty. How could a Spiritual Transformation Stage Supreme Elder die from childbirth?" Han Xiao curiously asked, as this was one of the reasons why he had come.

"Empress, sigh, your mother didn't die from childbirth. She died when her soul dissipated due to the use of an ancient forbidden technique." Xiao Ba Ya sighed as he spoke.

Hearing Xiao Ba Ya say this, Han Xiao's interest was immediately piqued, his eyes staring wide open, filled with curiosity.

Looking at the nearly similar face of Han Xiao and Xiao Yun'er, Xiao Ba Ya recalled the scene of Xiao Yun'er kneeling in front of him and sighed, "When your mother was pregnant with you, she was almost framed by Imperial Concubine Ming. Although you managed to preserve you later on, you were still injured, so it is unknown whether you can successfully give birth to her. At that time, I was completely shocked by Yun'er's decisiveness, and in the end, I could only promise Yun'er that I would help her use the Soul Transformation technique. "

"So the Queen Mother really died because of me?" He had never thought that his birth would be exchanged with Xiao Yun'er's life. Unfortunately, Xiao Yun'er had used her own life to protect his child, and now he had used her own body to rebirth.

"Xiao'er, I did not tell you to bear a burden in your heart, but to know that you are the continuation of Yun'er's life. Your birth was accompanied by your mother's deep love. Although Yun'er is no longer here, she loves you more than anyone else." Xiao Ba Ya said.

"Mm. Xiao'er understands grandfather's words. By the way, can grandfather do me a favor?" Han Xiao's eyes flashed with cunning as he asked.

"There is no need to be so polite between grandfather and grandson. What does Xiao'er want grandfather to do?" Xiao Ba Ya asked.

"That's right, I saved this child from third brother's hands on the way here today. Although third brother won't do anything to me, I'm worried that his men won't be able to hold back and think about what they shouldn't do. If this matter caused a disagreement between us, then it would be unnecessary." Han Xiao hesitated and said.

"You want me to send people to kill the person who fought you today?" A trace of killing intent flashed across Xiao Ba Ya's eyes as he asked.

"No, I just want Grandfather to send someone to follow us. After we capture those people, Grandfather will send your servants to Father. I think that the Third Emperor knows what's important and what's not." Han Xiao said indifferently.

Although Han Xiao didn't explain himself, Xiao Ba Ya instantly understood what Han Xiao meant. He looked deeply at Han Xiao and cupped his hands, "This old man will handle this matter well, and won't let Seventh Prince worry about it."

"Grandfather's words are too foreign. You and I don't need to be so offended. That's right, Xiao'er is very curious about grandfather's battle on the battlefield. I wonder if grandfather can tell Xiao'er about it." Han Xiao blinked his eyes and said coquettishly.

"Alright, alright. Whatever Xiao'er wants to hear, Grandfather will tell you." Xiao Ba Ya said with a smile.

Perhaps because he knew that there was fear in Han Xiao's identity, Little Lei Zi was extremely quiet along the way, completely unlike a sixteen year old child. Furthermore, Han Xiao did not have the time to care about all this, he could feel the people behind him looking at Xiao Jianfeng, before turning around and walking down a corridor.

The people following closely behind also hurriedly followed, as if they were afraid of losing the three of them.

After walking for a while and seeing that there was no one around, Han Xiao stopped his steps and turned around. He said with a faint smile, "I wonder how bold Prince Ma is. Looks like he really is just a bug."

"Hmph. Brat, just be proud of yourself. Today, I will let you know that there are some people that you cannot afford to offend." Prince Ma walked out from the darkness, followed by ten or so figures. The strongest was probably at the early Soul Ning stage, just like Han Xiao.

Seeing Prince Ma and his men appear, Han Xiao's eyes flashed with amusement. He looked at the sky and said, "Some people will never know the immensity of heaven and earth. I don't think there's a need to spare their lives." With that, Han Xiao rushed in front of Prince Ma, and before Prince Ma could react, he used his strength to twist Prince Ma's head off. With that, Han Xiao rushed in front of Prince Ma, and before Prince Ma could react, he used his strength to twist Prince Ma's head off.

Seeing that Prince Ma had been killed so easily, the following person was taken aback at first, but then he thought of the reason for coming this time, so he unhesitatingly raised his weapon and charged forward to kill Han Xiao. Right at this moment, neat footsteps sounded out, and a group of thirty people appeared in front of everyone, right in front of them was Han Xiao's grandfather, Xiao Ba Ya.

As the order was given, the troops began to move forward. Those who wanted to resist saw the sudden appearance of so many people, and those who wanted to defend Xiao Ba Cliff slowly retreated. It didn't take long before they were caught.
