Ji Wenzheng was not particularly bright, but he had a strong belief in ghosts and deities, especially after several "Miracles" occurred in the capital. His faith in the existence of spirits grew, and he often visited temples to pray for divine assistance to escape his awkward situation at home. Therefore, when he saw the copy of "Dream of the Red Chamber" and fan fiction that Elder Brother Li had placed beside his pillow, Ji Wenzheng believed that his sincerity had moved the gods, bringing down a Miracle to help him.
After reading "Dream of the Red Chamber," Ji Wenzheng empathized deeply with Jia She’s plight. When he saw Jia She’s family being confiscated and exiled, with his title taken by the Second Wife, Ji Wenzheng nearly grabbed a knife to stab everyone related to his own Second Wife. However, upon reading the fan fiction, he immediately regarded it as a classic and decided to follow Jia She’s actions as depicted in it. Unlike Jia She, who had to gather evidence against his Second Wife, Elder Brother Li had already prepared everything for him. With the Second Wife now in trouble, the entire Duke's residence returned to his control, and Lady Ji no longer dared to point fingers at him. Ji Wenzheng was overjoyed; he treated the fan fiction as a winning talisman and followed its guidance in all subsequent actions.
The Season Family owed money to the national treasury and needed to quickly repay it; the plaque of the Duke of Su State's Residence could no longer hang there and should be replaced with that of a First-Class General's residence; any corrupt servants in the household must be dismissed...
One dramatic scene after another unfolded, leaving the people of the capital dumbfounded, while Hanno and her companions watched with great interest. Hanno specifically returned to have a pure gold statue made, which Elder Brother Li placed by Ji Wenzheng's pillow at night, allowing Ji Wenzheng to view it as a divine reward and treat it as a family heirloom.
Although the incident at the Duke of Su State's Residence caused quite a stir, most people in the capital merely saw it as a joke. After all, the Duke's residence was already in decline. Even Huang Zhitang did not think deeply about it; he merely believed that Ji Wenzheng was rebelling due to excessive oppression and was unaware that his schemes against Elder Brother Li had been exposed. He thought he was being very discreet.
...
Hanno signaled to the receptionist with her invitation and walked into the auction venue. She increasingly found this auction held by Denglin Pavilion interesting; all the receptionists were cultivators at the fourth or fifth level of Qi Refinement. No wonder Denglin Pavilion was so extravagant in hosting this auction; they had powerful backing from their mountain. Hanno smiled lightly and walked into the hall without concern.
This auction was more upscale than the previous one in Harbor City, attracting individuals of higher status than those at last time's event. Hanno spotted several people she recognized from news broadcasts among them. Master Yuan must have been busy and did not have time to greet her; Hanno found a seat for herself while several young Qi Refinement Stage cultivators sat down beside her. Unable to contain her laughter, she thought that if she couldn’t see that this auction was tailored for her, she would be foolish. It seemed that even Elder Brother Li at Nascent Soul Stage could not deter people's greed; some wanted to use her to threaten him. Well, she might as well play along with these people for some time.
As the auction began, every item sold was exquisite. The three-colored jade ornament Hanno put up for auction ranked only in the middle tier among all items, while Yu Shinan’s calligraphy made it into the top three, bringing Hanno nearly two hundred million in revenue from just those two items.
When the auction concluded and others began to leave, Hanno remained leisurely seated. Her calm demeanor left those who came to capture her exchanging glances.
“Does she realize our intentions?” one young man asked.
“What if she does? Can an ordinary person escape from us?” another proud young woman replied disdainfully, believing cultivators were superior and looked down on ordinary people.
“Her attitude is so composed; she must feel invulnerable,” said a shorter woman.
A taller man added, “Li Wei Feng is likely a master at Nascent Soul Stage; with him backing her up, Hanno naturally isn’t afraid of us.”
The Arrogant Woman snorted coldly and said, “But Li Wei Feng isn’t here. Does she really think we wouldn’t dare act against her?”
"We really can't make a move on her," said the first young man. "The Master told us to be polite to Hanno before we capture Li Wei Feng. We mustn't offend her."
The Arrogant Woman huffed in dissatisfaction again. "Relying on others for power. But she won't be proud for long; Grandmaster has set up the Ten Yuan Confinement Killing Formation to deal with Li Wei Feng. The power of the Ten Yuan Confinement Killing Formation can even trap and kill those at the Nascent Soul Stage. Unless Li Wei Feng is at the Transcendence Stage, there's no way she could escape from it."
Ten Yuan Confinement Killing Formation? Hanno perked up her ears. These young Cultivators thought she was just an ordinary person, speaking without needing to shield their words with True Essence, allowing Hanno to hear everything clearly—though even if they had shielded their words, it wouldn't have mattered; Hanno was far stronger than them. These Cultivators, who looked down on ordinary people, could never imagine that the person sitting beside them was not ordinary at all, but a master of the Transcendence Stage, a figure they believed had vanished.
As she listened to their conversation without anyone approaching, Hanno grew impatient and stood up. The group immediately stopped talking and gathered around her.
"Ms. Han, someone wants to see you. Please come with us," said the Tall Man.
Hanno chuckled lightly. "You sound just like the cannon fodder sidekicks in a TV show who kidnap the main character."
This remark angered the proud woman; her brows furrowed, and she was about to make a move against Hanno. The Short Woman quickly grabbed her hand to stop her. The Arrogant Woman huffed in frustration but had no choice but to endure.
The tall man remained unfazed by Hanno's mockery. "Ms. Han, you might think we're joking, but I can seriously tell you this is no joke. You have no choice but to come with us."
"So, this is a kidnapping?" Hanno's calm demeanor surprised several of them.
The tall man replied, "If that's how you see it, then yes!"
Hanno nodded. "Then let's go."
"What?" The group was taken aback; they hadn't expected Hanno to comply so readily.
"Aren't you kidnapping me? Of course, I'm going with you," Hanno said with a smile.
The arrogant woman could not stand Hanno's calm demeanor and sneered, "You really are fearless, thinking your man is invincible?"
Hanno smiled at the Arrogant Woman. "You're right; Wei Feng is indeed invincible when it comes to you all."
"Such arrogance!" the Arrogant Woman retorted. "Just wait and see how our elders defeat Li Wei Feng."
Hanno chuckled, "I look forward to witnessing that."
Without revealing any of her cultivation abilities, Hanno pretended to be an ordinary person and left with a few others. To avoid exposing their identities as cultivators in front of regular people, they did not fly on swords but instead got into a seven-seater van provided by Denglin Pavilion. The license plate began with red letters, indicating that her foundation was still considered inferior to that of cultivators in the eyes of some.
Once the vehicle reached the outskirts, they pulled Hanno out and let the driver leave. The Arrogant Woman huffed at Hanno and summoned her Flying Sword. Hanno feigned surprise, putting on an astonished expression.
The Arrogant Woman proudly leaped onto her Flying Sword and flew around Hanno's head. "I've always found it strange that since Li Wei Feng became a cultivator, he would still be with you. A normal person's lifespan is just a few decades, while Li Wei Feng has at least a thousand years. When you grow old, won't he abandon you?"
Hanno shrugged. "How would I know? If you're curious, ask Li Wei Feng yourself."
"Don't you think you're unworthy of Li Wei Feng?" the Arrogant Woman pressed.
Hanno replied confidently, "Not at all. My Wei Feng doesn't think so either. He believes meeting me is the luckiest thing in his life; he's the one who has climbed high to be with me."
"Hmph! You're only young now. Wait until you grow old and see if Li Wei Feng still wants you."
"Regardless, Wei Feng will never want you."
"You—" The Arrogant Woman was furious and wanted to teach Hanno a lesson but was held back by a Short Woman. In frustration, she threw down a final remark, "Once the Grandmasters deal with Li Wei Feng, I'll settle the score with you."
Hanno smiled back, "I'll be waiting."
...
Li Wei Feng returned home from the Great Zhou, feeling a sense of unease. It was unusual for no one to be at home; Hanno would typically be waiting for her, and even if he had something to attend to, he would return before she did. What could have happened today?
Elder Brother Li recalled that Hanno was attending the auction at Denglin Pavilion. Could there have been an unexpected delay at the auction? Suddenly, he sensed a disturbance in his soul space and quickly opened it, retrieving a message from Hanno. Upon reading it, Elder Brother Li's anger flared. How dare these cultivators target him and Hanno! Were they trying to extract the method for advancing to the Nascent Soul Stage? Unfortunately for them, none of them had a wife like Hanno, who was incredibly lucky and had her own advantages.
Elder Brother Li chuckled again; Nono must be bored to play along with these cultivators' "kidnapping game." The Ten Yuan Confinement Killing Formation? Did they really think they could trap someone as powerful as a Nascent Soul Stage expert? What a grand gesture! However, he felt sorry for those people; he wasn't at the Nascent Soul Stage but rather at the Transcendence Stage, just capable enough to break through the Ten Yuan Confinement Killing Formation.
Following Hanno's instructions, Elder Brother Li pretended to know nothing as he approached Denglin Pavilion, where he encountered the cultivator who had been waiting for him.
"Mr. Li, my ancestor has feelings," the cultivator greeted Elder Brother Li politely. However, to Elder Brother Li's eyes, the expression seemed insincere—clearly plotting while feigning innocence.
"Did you capture Nono?" Elder Brother Li asked coldly.
The cultivator smiled. "We merely invited Ms. Han to visit our mountain gate."
"If you harm Nono in any way, I will not let you off easily!" Elder Brother Li feigned an angry expression.
In the end, Elder Brother Li pretended to be threatened by the cultivator and followed him as they flew towards Mount Luofu on their swords.
