The opportunity lay before Zhao Jun; it would be foolish to let it slip away. He nodded repeatedly, expressing his gratitude to Hanno. Hanno informed the two of Zhu Wenrui's phone number and company name, directing them to approach Zhu Wenrui directly. Zhu Wenrui, with a background in Special Forces, could easily manage individuals like Zhao Jun who had dabbled in the underworld, ensuring they would become the company's most loyal employees.
After Zhao Jun and his companion concluded their business, Hanno returned to his seat to wait. The Labor Order Stone had been knocked away by Hanno, and since his vehicle was primarily for transporting clients, accompanying Hanno at the hospital would hinder business. At this point, Hanno had regained his composure because Yang Yun was no longer in danger. When he first arrived at the hospital, Hanno sensed through his Divine Sense that Yang Yun was in critical condition, on the verge of losing consciousness. He discreetly channeled two streams of Spiritual Energy into Yang Yun's body—one to protect her heart and the other to safeguard the child within her. The doctors' timely intervention further ensured that both mother and child were out of immediate danger.
After more than half an hour, the operating room door swung open, and a nurse emerged with a smile, calling out, "Yang Yun's family members, are you here?"
Zhao Jun rushed over, anxiously asking, "Nurse, I—I am Yang Yun's family. How is my sister-in-law?"
Startled by Zhao Jun's sudden approach, the nurse rolled her eyes but understood the anxiety of family members and replied directly, "Yang Yun is out of danger and has given birth to a boy weighing six pounds and eight ounces. Congratulations! You are now an uncle."
Zhao Jun was overjoyed and grasped the nurse's hand vigorously. "Thank you! Thank you so much, Nurse!"
The nurse winced from his grip and struggled to free herself. However, Zhao Jun's strength was like a vice; she couldn't pull away and exclaimed in annoyance, "Hey! You're hurting my hand! Let go!"
"Oh? I'm so sorry!" Zhao Jun quickly released her hand. Watching her rub her sore fingers, he felt guilty and said, "I really apologize for that. I was just too excited. To make it up to you, how about I take you out for a meal?"
The nurse shot him a glare. "No need for that; just keep your distance."
Zhao Jun stammered in response.
Hanno stroked his chin thoughtfully; it was late spring now, but still springtime—no wonder…
Yang Yun was moved to a regular ward while the baby was taken to the Nursery. Mom Han and Dad Han brought chicken soup to the hospital, and Hanno entrusted Yang Yun's care to them. Yang Yun's parents had been taken by her elder brother to live in another province and could not return in time; Yu Shu's biological mother had passed away years ago. Without any elders to care for them, Yang Yun had no choice but to call Hanno in her moment of crisis.
"How did you discover Yu Shu was missing?" With Yang Yun safe now, the next priority was finding Yu Shu.
Zhao Jun explained, "A couple of days ago, Brother Yu celebrated becoming a father with us over dinner. He got drunk and decided to walk home to clear his head and avoid bothering my sister-in-law with the smell of alcohol. In the middle of the night, I received a call from my sister-in-law asking if Brother Yu was with us. I sensed something was off and didn't want her to worry, so I lied and said he was with us all night long while telling her to get some rest. Then I gathered our brothers together to look for Brother Yu but couldn't find him. I feared that our former rivals might have targeted him and sent someone to investigate; however, those people showed no signs of activity regarding Brother Yu's disappearance. Later on, my sister-in-law called again demanding to know if something had happened to Brother Yu; unable to hide it any longer, I told her everything."
"Are you sure it's not those people from the underworld?" Hanno asked rhythmically tapping on the table.
Tie He responded, "No. I've carefully assessed the information we've gathered; they never considered going after Brother Yu. It's likely that Brother Yu has withdrawn from that world entirely; they feel there's no need to waste their efforts on him."
Hanno twitched his lips. Retiring from the martial world? Hmph, if this person were thrown into a real martial world, who knows how they would react.
"Bring me a personal item of Yu Shu."
"Huh? What do you need that for?"
Hanno smiled slightly. "I want to use it to find your Brother Yu. Do you believe me?"
Of course, they didn't believe him, but when the two saw Hanno casually fold a Crane and then make a gesture, the Crane actually flew up on its own. They immediately believed. What the hell, isn't this world supposed to be materialistic? How could such a fantastical scene occur? Their worldview shattered! Time to sweep it up and reassemble!
Hanno stood up. "Follow the Crane."
Tie He asked worriedly, "Isn't it bad if someone sees the Crane?"
Hanno replied, "Don't worry, apart from the three of us, no one else can see the Crane, not even surveillance cameras or electronic eyes."
Tie He and Zhao Jun were astonished: Wow, that's impressive.
"Rest assured, we absolutely won't let what we see today get out," Tie He assured quickly.
Zhao Jun also came to his senses. "I swear, I will never tell a fourth person about what happened today; otherwise, let me be struck by lightning."
In the past, oaths were as casual as drinking water, but now they took their vows seriously. With Hanno's existence defying science, surely any oath would hold weight.
Hanno looked at the two with a half-smile. "Even if you don't swear and don't go out, try it now and see if you can speak."
Curious, Zhao Jun thought that since there were only the three of them present, he might as well ask Hanno about his magical abilities. However, he found himself unable to voice his thoughts despite them swirling in his mind. Shocked, he turned to Tie He. Tie He was in the same situation; they exchanged glances and shared a bitter smile.
"H-Han, is this some kind of magical restriction?" Tie He asked, not even daring to call Hanno by name anymore.
Hanno nodded, "That's right, it's a restriction. With my restriction in place, you won't be able to leave no matter what."
Tie He and Zhao Jun obediently replied, "We would never challenge your authority, Boss Han."
Hanno chuckled. Boss Han? If someone else heard that title, would they think of him as the big boss of a criminal organization?
"Let's go. Crane is about to take off," Hanno reminded the two, and Zhao Jun and Tie He hurriedly followed Crane out.
"The distance should be a bit far. Tie He, you drive," Hanno said, glancing at Crane.
"Understood." Whatever Hanno said now, Tie He would comply without question.
Crane's speed went from slow to fast as the three drove, but they noticed that Crane was actually outpacing the car. If it weren't for Hanno controlling the speed to stabilize it around thirty kilometers per hour, Crane would have already disappeared from sight. This made Zhao Jun and Tie He admire Hanno even more.
"Boss Han, do you belong to the realm of cultivation, urban abilities, or perhaps the field of metaphysical tomb raiding?" Tie He asked excitedly, unable to contain his curiosity about such extraordinary matters.
"Guess," Hanno replied without directly answering.
Tie He (づ﹏ど): "Can I become your disciple and learn your skills?"
Hanno carefully examined Tie He from head to toe and found his potential decent but lacking a Spiritual Root. "No need for formal apprenticeship. I can teach you a set of Inner Power techniques along with corresponding lightness skills and external martial arts. How far you can cultivate depends entirely on yourself."
Tie He was overjoyed and quickly expressed his gratitude.
Zhao Jun looked on enviously; every man has a dream of being a martial hero!
Zhao Jun hesitantly spoke up, "Han, Boss Han, can I learn alongside you?"
Hanno nodded, "Sure."
She would also prepare corresponding cultivation techniques for Zhu Wenrui and Shen Chuiyang. With the drastic changes in the rules of the world and the emergence of hidden cultivators, if ancient martial arts did not showcase their original charm, wouldn’t that be too dull? Hanno thought about offering a few techniques to the military through Shen Chuiyang, believing that the strength of the Huaxia army would grow. He was confident that the Foundation's backing would become increasingly solid.
As Hanno pondered, he smiled and asked Tie He, "Do you also read online fantasy? Which website do you use? Do you check out Qd Girls Network? I write there; occasionally support me a bit!"
Tie He nodded repeatedly. "Of course, of course. Boss Han, what’s your pen name? What’s your name?"
"Ah, my pen name is A Promise is Worth a Thousand Gold. I've written several books, including Crossing the Chronicles of Yi Ji Xiaofu, Hong Kong Entertainment Dream, Dragon's Revival, and a recently completed one titled The Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty: The Struggle for Supremacy."
Tie He silently noted down Hanno's pen name and the titles of several books. Zhao Jun did the same. They decided that once they rescued Yu Shu, they would register an account on Qd Network to vote for Hanno and show their support.
Crane flew all the way to Feng Yi Mountain. The final stretch was inaccessible by car, so the three had to get out and trek through the dense mountains. This area was rarely visited; there wasn’t even a mountain path. After walking for about an hour, Crane finally stopped flying and landed on a pile of stones.
"Move the stones," Hanno instructed.
Tie He and Zhao Jun immediately sprang into action. Their movements were incredibly swift; they knew Yu Shu must be behind the pile of stones and might have already encountered danger. The eyes of the two men turned red with worry.
Seeing their expressions, Hanno comforted them, "Don’t worry; she’s not dead. Otherwise, my Crane would have turned blood-red by now."
Hanno picked up Crane and summoned a burst of red flames from his palm, instantly turning Crane to ashes.
Zhao Jun and Tie He sighed in relief upon hearing that Yu Shu was alive but moved even faster to clear away the stones. Before long, they had removed half of them, revealing a cave only half a person tall.
"Someone’s inside; it should be Brother Yu," Tie He exclaimed as he suddenly pushed aside the remaining stones with all his might. The stones tumbled down in a clatter. Zhao Jun hurried to help, and soon they cleared away all the stones before crawling into the cave.
