The two people who had landed on the ground let out a sigh of relief. Although the trouble they had gone through was caused by Hanno, they still had to thank him.
Hanno replied calmly, "No need to thank me. From now on, take care of yourselves. After ten days, the restrictions will be lifted."
With that, he flickered and disappeared before them. In the next moment, he was back in Shen Chuiyang's office.
He wiped his face with his hand, restoring his original appearance.
Hanno walked back to the sofa and leisurely picked up his phone to browse. He hadn't looked at two pages when Shen Chuiyang entered.
After carefully closing the door, Shen Chuiyang walked over to Hanno and asked seriously, "Was it you who ensured the plane landed safely?"
Hanno looked up and smiled lightly, "You could say that."
Shen Chuiyang reminded him, "This matter is too strange; the government will definitely send someone to investigate."
Hanno replied, "Don't worry, they won't find anything."
Shen Chuiyang said, "I've heard that some Cultivators have contacted the government. They have reached a cooperation agreement where the government provides free forests for them to reside in, and in return, the Cultivators help the government handle tasks even more challenging than those faced by special forces."
Hanno was surprised by Shen Chuiyang's well-informed news and even more astonished by how quickly the Cultivators were adapting: "The current Cultivators are keeping up with the times!"
"Those Cultivators won't expose you or affect you in any way, right?" Shen Chuiyang asked with concern.
"Don't worry," Hanno reassured him. "Even the most powerful Cultivators among them won't discover my identity."
Hanno speculated that most of the Cultivators sent to cooperate with the government were likely at the Qi Refinement Stage, with maybe a few at the Foundation Establishment Period. Those at the Golden Core Stage would definitely not be involved. Their cultivation levels were far beneath hers; how could they possibly recognize her uniqueness?
Shen Chuiyang sighed in relief.
[Breaking news: A divine being has manifested! Cloud supported the falling plane, allowing it to land safely on the ground.]
Title: As the Topic Suggests: What the Original Poster Witnessed
Original Poster: I saw it with my own eyes. If you don’t believe me, check out the video I recorded. Thankfully, I reacted quickly.
First Floor: Wow! It’s real! Those clouds are flying towards the plane in clusters, as if the plane is summoning them.
Second Floor: This must be fake. There are so many fake news stories online, most of them are fabricated.
Third Floor: No, it’s true! I was there at the scene and saw the plane being gently lowered by the clouds.
Fourth Floor: The person above is just a shill for the original poster. Case closed.
Fifth Floor: Clouds are made of water vapor; they can’t hold anything up! Come on, have some common sense!
Sixth Floor: Clouds are summoned by deities, so of course they can lift a plane.
Seventh Floor: The person above, there are no deities in this world.
Eighth Floor: Maybe it’s a cultivator.
Ninth Floor: The truth is revealed above. Let me introduce myself; I am a cultivator who just joined a sect and am currently working hard on my training.
Tenth Floor: Someone up there needs to take their medication.
Eleventh Floor: It’s real! I was also in the county town and saw it with my own eyes.
Twelfth Floor: Top floor, reporting from the scene.
Thirteenth Floor: I just asked an expert, and there are no signs of editing in the video.
Fourteenth Floor: So this is a real event?
Fifteenth Floor: I don't believe it, I don't believe it. In this world, science reigns supreme, defeating all the monsters and demons.
Sixteenth Floor: I am from the Ninth Floor. It's unbelievable that no one believes the truth.
...
The Airplane Crash Incident has caused quite a stir, and the government has not intervened to eliminate these posts. Since the public is discussing this matter, any action taken by the government would only draw more attention to it. Instead, they allow open discussion, which leads most people to doubt its authenticity. However, the government has also commissioned Cultivators to investigate the incident. Thus, Ming Zhen and Wen Kong, who have been forced to become mortals, were found by their Sect. Having lost their powers and unable to access their storage bags or afford train tickets back to their mountain gate, the two have become wanderers, sleeping under bridges alongside beggars, calling out for help in vain. Fortunately, they have learned to fast for short periods; going ten days without food does not harm them. Otherwise, they would have had to resort to begging on the streets.
From the two of them, the Cultivators learned of a rumor about a highly skilled rogue practitioner, which piqued the interest of the Ten Great Caves' Cultivators. They were curious about where this powerful Cultivator had come from since cultivation was previously forbidden on Earth. The Ten Great Caves dispatched disciples to search for this master and instructed them to treat him with respect and not offend him. They hoped to learn from him how he achieved such high cultivation on Earth, which might help their Elders at the peak of the Golden Core stage break through to the Nascent Soul stage.
Hanno naturally sensed the actions of the Cultivators, viewing them as mere entertainment since they would never find him. He stealthily infiltrated their sects and discovered their hidden secrets: caves.
The ten major sects correspond to the Ten Great Caves: Wangwu Mountain Cave, Weiyu Cave, West City Cave, Western Mysterious Cave, Qingcheng Mountain Cave, Red Castle Cave, Mount Lu Cave, Juqu Cave, Linwu Cave, and Kua Cang Mountain Cave. These caves form their own worlds and do not belong to Earth. After sneaking around for a while, Hanno realized that the Spiritual Energy inside was comparable to that of Pure Yuan Great Land; however, he also noticed that this energy was diminishing. No wonder these Cultivators were so quick to enter the mortal realm; it turned out that their caves were on the verge of collapse. By this calculation, the entire cultivation world owed him a debt of Causality.
Having resolved matters in the modern world, Hanno returned to the Great Zhou Dynasty to accompany his elder brother, Elder Brother Li. With both Han Dad and Mom Han away from D City, Hanno could stay in Great Zhou for as long as he wished, setting aside time each week for video calls with his parents. They were doing quite well in Jiangnan; Su Anyang had arranged comfortable accommodations for them in a guest room within a Taoist temple—a three-story wooden building with a living room and bathroom. The room contained two beds with comfortable mattresses, a television, and air conditioning—though they rarely needed it. The temple was situated on a mountain where temperatures were several degrees cooler than at ground level. Surrounded by dense forests, it was especially refreshing in summer; there was no need for air conditioning as temperatures remained pleasant. Besides good living conditions, their meals were also excellent. Although most residents ate vegetarian food, some did not avoid meat entirely. The temple had two kitchens: one for vegetarian dishes and another for meat dishes—both light and tasty enough for elderly people and health-conscious individuals.
The environment around the temple was pristine and serene—lush greenery filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers—far removed from urban chaos. It was even better than the environment at Wuji Temple, where Mom Han and Han Dad vacationed every summer. The couple had already decided that they would come here every summer for their holidays. Su Anyang welcomed their decision wholeheartedly as it meant that Han Dad could help him bring back students for summer vacation.
"Here! Here! The cabinet goes here!" Hanno cheerfully directed the servants arranging furniture. Meanwhile, news arrived that Li Yishu and others had set off; they would reach the capital in half a month. Eagerly, Hanno began preparing rooms for them with servants from the Li Residence. The couple of Li Zhoule and Wen Zixia would share one courtyard while the three boys—Li Yishu, Wen Zixue, and another—would share another courtyard where they could study and practice martial arts together; although it seemed unlikely they would use it much. Hearing that his younger brother had also been accepted as a scholar made Elder Brother Li very happy; he had already arranged connections with the best academy in the capital for his brother and the brothers from the Wen family. Once they adapted to life in the capital, he planned to send them off to study there. As a member of the Changping Bo family, he held an exemption quota allowing his brother entry into Guozijian without examination but feared that giving this quota to his brother might affect relationships with the Wen family brothers; thus he decided to keep it so that all three could take exams themselves.
"Is everything arranged?" asked Elder Brother Li, entering from outside while handing over his horse to a stableman.
"The furniture is set up, beds are made; we just need some antique decorations," replied Hanno, walking over cheerfully. Without hesitation, Elder Brother Li wrapped his arms around her waist. Slightly annoyed, she pushed him away saying, "You smell like sweat; go wash up quickly."
"Come wash with me!" insisted Elder Brother Li, holding onto her tightly.
"You're impossible," she rolled her eyes but did not refuse as he pulled her into the bathroom.
What pleased Hanno most was this bathroom—it resembled something out of a television show—a large bathing pool carved into one room lined with white jade stones filled with hot water sprinkled with flower petals above; it was both romantic and comfortable—especially when they took a bath together...
"You're back quite early this time?" Hanno asked, leaning against Elder Brother Li's chest and drawing circles with her finger.
Elder Brother Li replied, "I went to see the Emperor today and then came back."
"What trouble is the Emperor causing now?" Although Li Xuan Zong was a wise ruler, Hanno just didn't like him.
Elder Brother Li enjoyed the fact that his wife was annoyed with the Emperor on his behalf. He chuckled and said, "It's nothing major. He just had some questions about establishing the Royal Charity Foundation and called me in to ask a few things."
"The Royal Charity Foundation?" Hanno scoffed. "He hasn't even given you any consulting fees or royalties. Isn't it run by Consort X?"
Elder Brother Li nodded. "The Queen is gravely ill and probably won't last much longer. With Consort X elevated this morning, the Emperor naturally entrusted her with the Foundation's affairs."
Hanno asked, "Isn't there also Consort Jiang? I've heard she's been favored by the Emperor and is even pregnant."
Elder Brother Li said, "Consort Jiang comes from a low background. She can be a favored concubine, but she will never become Queen."
Hanno clicked her tongue. "The women in the harem are truly pitiful."
Elder Brother Li replied, "They seek what they desire and get it; they wouldn't feel pitiful."
"That's true; many women would do anything to enter the harem," Hanno straightened up. "The water has cooled down; let's get up."
Elder Brother Li raised his right hand toward Hanno. She shot him a sideways glance but resignedly placed her hand in his palm, pulling him up with all her strength.
