Han Xue Nai left feeling at ease when she saw Han Zheng Tian understood what she had meant and promised to not break his promise.
Although she was curious why her father wanted to speak to her Brother Ling Tian privately, it was obvious from her father’s attitude that he did not want her to know about it.
After Han Xue Nai left the room, Han Zheng Tian looked at Duan Ling Tian with a solemn expression on his face.

Uncle Han.
Duan Ling Tian looked at Han Zheng Tian in confusion. He did not know why Han Zheng Tian wanted to speak to him alone.

Little Tian, I realized that your disguising technique is extremely impressive… It should be a very unique Disguising Technique, right?
Han Zhen Tian asked as he looked at Duan Ling Tian.



Yes.
Duan Ling Tian nodded. He had thought Han Zheng Tian had wanted to speak to him alone because of the Devilseal Tablet, but as it turned out, it had nothing to do with it at all. He could tell Han Zheng Tian was interested in his Disguising Secret Tactic.

I wonder if you’re willing to teach me your Disguising Secret Tactic?
Han Zheng Tian asked as he looked at Duan Ling Tian eagerly.
Han Zheng Tian saw Duan Ling Tian was stunned for a moment, and he continued to say,
Naturally, it won’t be for free. In exchange, I’ll give you something else. You definitely won’t suffer a loss.

Duan Ling Tian shook his head as he said solemnly,
Uncle Han, there’s no need for you to give me something in return. You’re Xue Nai’s father. Naturally, you’re also my elder. This is my first time visiting, and yet, I didn’t bring any gift. It’s not a big issue for me to teach you the Disguising Secret Tactic. However, I hope you can keep the Disguising Secret Tactic a secret. This means you’re not allowed to pass this on. As for Xue Nai, I’ll personally teach it to her.

Previously, when Elder Huo taught him the Disguising Secret Tactic, he had told him the Secret Tactic was extremely powerful even in the Devata Realm. It was something he had obtained by chance.
The Disguising Secret Tactic could fool everyone in terms of appearance. Naturally, it did not grant one the memories or mannerism of the person they were disguised as. One would be easily found out if one had used the Secret Tactic in front of someone who had a close relationship with the person one was disguised as.

You don’t have to worry in this regard. I’m willing to swear an oath.
When Han Zheng Tian heard Duan Ling Tian was willing to teach him the Disguising Secret Tactic, his eyes brightened. As he spoke, he was prepared to prick his finger and swear on the lightning penalty oath with the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation as a witness.

Wait a minute!
At this moment, Duan Ling Tian stopped Han Zheng Tian.

Hm?
Han Zheng Tian could not help but frown. He thought Duan Ling Tian was going to go back on his words.

Uncle Han, may I ask why you’re so keen on learning my Disguising Secret Tactic? What are you planning to do with it?
Duan Ling Tian asked Han Zheng Tian with a solemn expression.


Han Zheng Tian fell silent when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s question.

You’re not thinking of killing the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion, are you?
Duan Ling Tian asked again.
When Han Zheng Tian heard Duan Ling Tian’s question, although his expression remained calm, his eyebrows twitched a little. Duan Ling Tian did not fail to notice this. He realized his suspicion was not wrong. He had stopped Han Zheng Tian earlier because he had thought of this.
Han Zheng Tian knew he was exposed as soon as he saw the changes in Duan Ling Tian’s eyes.

I don’t want Xue Nai to marry that playboy… Based on the current situation, that’s the only solution,
Han Zheng Tian said solemnly.
Based on Han Zheng Tian’s words, it was obvious he was admitting that he planned to disguise himself and kill the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion.

Uncle Han, I really admire you for the lengths you’ll go to for Xue Nai,
Duan Ling Tian said somberly,
However, there’s something I would like to ask you. Even if you disguise yourself flawlessly and manage to kill the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion, are you certain the Rising Sky wouldn’t suspect the Greenwave Han Mansion and retaliate?


If you’re 100% certain it won’t bring danger to you and the Greenwave Han Mansion, I’m more than willing to teach you the Disguising Secret Tactic. However, if you’re not 100% certain, I’m afraid I can’t teach you the Secret Tactic,
Duan Ling Tian continued to say.
He did not mind teaching the Disguising Secret Tactic to Han Zheng Tian. Han Zheng Tian was Xue Nai’s father after all. As the saying went, ‘When you love someone, you’ll love their dog as well.’ It was only natural that Duan Ling Tian did not treat Han Zheng Tian like an outsider.
Hang Zheng Tian could not help but frown when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words.


100% confident? He was certainly not 100% confident.
Even if he disguised himself as someone that did not have any link with the Greenwave Han Mansion to kill the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion, he could not guarantee the Rising Sky Mansion would let the Greenwave Han Mansion go. They would rather kill the wrong person and err on the side of caution.
To the Rising Sky Mansion, the Greenwave Han Mansion was just a fifth-rate force. They were nothing. It was a small issue if they had wanted to annihilate the Greenwave Han Mansion.

No.
Han Zheng Tian shook his head with a bitter smile on his face in response to Duan Ling Tian’s question. He did not bother to lie because he knew he would not be able to fool the young man in front of him. The young man might not be old, but his wise eyes seemed capable of seeing his inner thoughts.

Then you’ll have to forgive me. I can’t teach you the Disguising Secret Tactic, Uncle Han,
Duan Ling Tian said apologetically.

Little Tian, I know you’re being considerate… However, there’s no room for discussion in regards to this matter!
Han Zheng Tian said solemnly,
Han Xin had taken the initiative to represent the Greenwave Han Mansion and accepted the proposal from the Rising Sky Mansion. Apart from the that, the Rising Sky Mansion had even set a date and sent out invitations to guests from afar… There’s only one way to stop this wedding and that’s to kill the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion!


Originally, this could be solved if Xue Nai agrees to leave. However, that girl is too sensible. She’s unwilling to abandon me and watch as calamity falls on the Greenwave Han Mansion. I can’t even persuade her to leave now that she has decided to stay,
Han Zheng Tian said with a bitter smile.

I’ve even thought of another method. I thought about using a special method to render her unconscious before bringing her away. However, that girl is very smart. She seemed to know I would do that. She swore on the lightning penalty oath that if I did that, she wouldn’t live even if she manages to escape,
Han Zheng Tian said. There was an odd mixture of helplessness and happiness in his eyes.
He felt helpless because his daughter refused to listen to him and cooperate with him. On the other hand, he was happy because his daughter had matured and had a sense of responsibility although it was not her responsibility to begin with.
Duan Ling Tian was moved when he heard Han Zheng Tian’s words. Although he had known Xue Nai for many years, in his memory, Xue Nai had always been a child. He did not know when she became so responsible. Due to this reason, he felt even more sorry for Han Xue Nai.



Rising Sky Mansion…
Anger burned hot in Duan Ling Tian’s eyes as though it was able to burn anything.

I’ve given this some thought,
Han Zheng Tian looked at Duan Ling Tian and said,
After I kill the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion, Xue Nai still has a chance of surviving even if the Rising Sky Mansion insists on blaming the Greenwave Han Mansion. At that time, if you bring her away, she won’t be considered as breaking her oath. That’s why I hope you’ll teach me the Disguising Secret Tactic..


No way!
Duan Ling Tian rejected him directly.
Was he joking?
Han Zheng Tian was planning to give up the Greenwave Han Mansion and sacrifice himself. There was no way he would agree to Han Zheng Tian’s plan. Otherwise, how would he be able to face Han Xue Nai in the future?

Little Tian, you should know the Disguising Secret Tactic is just like the icing on the cake in my plan… Even without the Disguising Secret Tactic, I would still do it,
Han Zheng Tian said as he shook his head. He looked determined as though he had already made up his mind.

Uncle Han, this matter isn’t that simple. Please don’t make rash decisions.
Duan Ling Tian smile bitterly.
Actually, a month ago, he had also thought of killing the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion to spare Han Xue Nai from a life no different from hell. However, while he was in closed-door cultivation, he had thought about it carefully and felt it was not the right thing to do.
The news of Xue Nai’s father falling out with the Supreme Elder of Greenwave Han Mansion due to the marriage must have already spread to the Rising Sky Mansion. The Rising Sky Mansion might let the matter go if the wedding was not affected. However, if the wedding was affected, the Rising Sky Mansion would not let go of Han Zheng Tian.
If the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion was killed during this period of time, the people from Rising Sky Mansion would definitely suspect Han Zheng Tian. At that time, not only Han Zheng Tian, but the entire Greenwave Han Mansion would suffer the wrath of Rising Sky Mansion.


Duan Ling Tian knew it would not be difficult to kill the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion, but the consequences were not something the Greenwave Han Mansion would be able to bear.

If it’s possible, I don’t want to do this either. However, this is the only option,
Han Zheng Tian said.

There’s really no other way around it?
Duan Ling Tian frowned.
Is there any other way to kill the Young Master of Rising Sky Mansion without implicating the Greenwave Han Mansion?


There is only one way to kill the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion without the Greenwave Han Mansion incurring the wrath of Rising Sky Mansion… However, it’s still not possible.
Han Zheng Tian sighed while shaking his head.

What’s it?
Duan Ling Tian asked curiously.

In a year’s time, in the Rising Sky Mansion’s district, there’ll be a Rising Sky Ranking battle that’s held once every fifty years… As far as I know, the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion will also be joining the battle since he’s aiming for the first place. The wedding date is set a month after the end of the Rising Sky Ranking battle.
Han Zheng Tian’s eyes flashed coldly when he spoke as though he wanted to devour the others.

The Rising Sky Ranking that’s held once every fifty years?
This was the first time Duan Ling Tian had heard of the Rising Sky Ranking, he had a skeptical expression on his face.
