Han knew that he needed to find out what Paladin is trying to do! It could be dangerous for everyone in the temple if I just let him go here.

Han started to float in another direction and Gretha became confused. Weren’t they going around the celestial plane? Han said he wanted to see the other dimensions, so what is he trying to do? Gretha didn’t know that Han was moving towards Paladin since she couldn’t feel his power and she didn’t know that Paladin, Tibet, and Yggrain were looking at them so she had no idea that Han was going towards Paladin. She looked in the direction that they were going and she realized that this is the house of the leader of the Xian! Was Han trying to meet Taurus’ father? Why? What could he be looking for with the leader of the Xian? Did he want to reveal himself!?

Gretha asked Han what they were going to do at the leader’s house and Han hummed. He didn’t even know that he was going toward the leader’s house. Han was just following Paladin’s power signature that he felt a long time ago! Han told Gretha that he was going to meet someone. They would continue their journey after Han meets this person. Gretha was still confused but Han assured her that they would be fine. He would just meet this person and talk for spoke time. It is important.

Gretha was reluctant, but she still agreed and nodded her assent. It was dangerous to go into the leader’s house since he is the only person that will surely know if Han didn’t behave exactly like Taurus. Tibet is Taurus’ father and it will be easy for Tibet to notice any difference in Taurus’ behaviour. But since Han was so sure they would be fine, she would trust him.

The both of them flew towards the peninsula where Paladin was having a meeting with Tibet and Yggrain. Han flew down slowly and he landed right outside the door of the mansion. Once he touched the ground, there was a feeling of calmness that surrounded him and his system brought up a new notification.

[The host has entered the Eternal Cultivation Array. Qi absorption rate has increased by fifty percent. Qi refinement rate has increased by thirty percent.]

Han moved past Paladin and Yggrain and he finally sat down on the right side of his father. Yggrain smiled once Han sat down. Yggrain was happy that Taurus was now here, at least his presence will reduce the tension in the room.

“Home hasn’t changed that much from when I left, father. I am happy about that. I saw some of the disciples training when I came in and they have improved quite a lot as well,”

Tibet smiled and nodded solemnly. He increased the training requirements for all the disciples and they all started to train harder to meet up to his expectations. But all that pales in comparison to his son’s improvement!

“You have grown to be a saint my son! Forget about the subjects and tell your father all about your travels! I am truly impressed. I thought you would be in that temple for a few more decades at least before you come back but you were able to return this quickly! Maybe I should start sending more of our best students to the temple so they can also train and become stronger!”

Tibet was already trying to think of ways to use this new development to his benefit but Paladin cleared his throat and drew their attention back to him. Tibet narrowed his eyes as he turned to Paladin and Paladin spoke.

“All of your plans will be pointless if we don’t deal with our collective problem first. I’m sure you know that someone is preventing us from entering the temple. I’m sure that even Taurus won’t be able to go back to the temple now that he has come to the celestial plane. We have to deal with this issue first,”

Tibet looked towards Paladin and he was about to speak, but Han beat him to it.

“A problem? What problem?”

Han showed an expression of genuine confusion to make them believe he was curious. Han wanted to know what the celestials really think of him.
