At this moment, the Han family was in an uproar, shock evident on every face. They weren’t fools; they had all witnessed the scenes moments ago, and to them, it was simply too outrageous.
Controlling heaven and earth, making it snow at will.
Plucking snowflakes to create life.
To them, this was beyond imagination, something they had never heard of.
“Why is everyone so quiet now? Didn’t you all want to meet this Emperor? Now that I’m here, you’ve gone silent.”
Lin Fan didn’t really intend to do anything drastic to the Han family. After all, Zhu You had chosen them of his own accord. With Zhu You’s cultivation at the early stage of Great Heaven, leaving the Han family wouldn’t have been a problem, but Zhu You had chosen to stay voluntarily. One willing to strike, the other willing to bear it—nothing more could be said.
But regardless, Lin Fan had to save some face for his disciple; otherwise, those years of bullying would have been endured in vain.
Han Clan Leader’s expression shifted between gloom and light, before finally breaking into a smile. “Senior, it’s a misunderstanding, truly a misunderstanding.”
He immediately stood up and hurried to Lin Fan’s side.
Inwardly, Han Clan Leader felt a pang of regret. “Zhu Di, your teacher is so powerful—why didn’t you ever try to prove yourself before?”
Although it was hard to believe, if only you had taken things seriously, we might have believed you too.
Back then, the reason Han Clan Leader had agreed to marry his daughter to Zhu Di was partly because of the existence of Zhu Di’s master.
His daughter had once told him that Zhu Di’s teacher was an extremely formidable figure.
Thus, Han Clan Leader had harbored a small hope—if that were truly the case, wouldn’t the Han family gain a powerful protector?
Moreover, his daughter’s relationship with Zhu Di had already gone quite far, so Han Clan Leader had decisively arranged the marriage.
But as events unfolded, Han Clan Leader began to sense something wrong. Where exactly was Zhu Di’s teacher? Not even showing up on the wedding day—this made Han Clan Leader feel uneasy.
Eventually, he grew furious, feeling deeply deceived.
If Zhu Di truly had such a powerful master, how could that master not even attend his disciple’s wedding?
The more Han Clan Leader thought about it, the angrier he became. He felt he had lost both his daughter and his dignity, and thus never again showed Zhu Di a kind face.
“Oh, a misunderstanding?” Lin Fan raised his eyebrows, speaking with deep implication.
“Senior, it really was a misunderstanding. Although Zhu Di is my son-in-law, he’s like my own son. It’s precisely because I valued Zhu Di that I married my daughter to him.”
Han Clan Leader explained, his heart pounding.
He had never expected Zhu Di’s words to be true—that he really had a powerful teacher.
At this moment, the entire Han family was in shock. They weren’t foolish; they had witnessed everything that had just unfolded before their eyes, and to them, it was utterly astonishing.
To command the heavens and earth, to make it snow at will.
To pluck snow and create life.
Such things were unheard of in their eyes.
“Why is everyone silent? Didn’t you want to see me? Now that I’m here, you have nothing to say?”
As for the Han family, Lin Fan hadn’t intended to do anything drastic. After all, this family was chosen by his disciple himself.
With his early-stage Great Heaven Realm cultivation, leaving the Han family would have been no issue. But Zhu You had chosen to stay willingly—a case of one willing to hit and the other willing to be hit, so there was nothing more to say.
However, no matter what, Lin Fan had to save face for his disciple. Otherwise, all the bullying over the years would have been for nothing.
The head of the Han family’s expression shifted between dark and light before he finally forced a smile. “Senior, this is all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!”
The Han family head immediately stood up and hurried to Lin Fan’s side.
At the same time, he felt a pang of regret. Zhu Di, if you had such a powerful master, why didn’t you prove it earlier?
Although it was hard for us to believe, if you had been more serious, we might have come around.
Back then, the Han family head had agreed to marry his daughter to Zhu Di, largely because Zhu Di had a master.
His daughter had once told him that Zhu Di’s master was incredibly powerful, someone truly extraordinary.
Thus, the Han family head had harbored a small hope. If this were true, wouldn’t the Han family have an even greater backer?
Moreover, his daughter’s relationship with Zhu Di had already gone too far, so the Han family head decided to marry her off without further ado.
But as events unfolded, the Han family head began to feel something was amiss. Where was Zhu Di’s master? He didn’t even show up on the wedding day, which made the Han family head feel uneasy.
Eventually, he became furious, feeling as though he had been deceived.
If Zhu Di truly had a powerful master, why wouldn’t he attend his disciple’s wedding?
The more the Han family head thought about it, the angrier he became. He had lost his daughter and gained nothing in return, so he never showed Zhu Di any kindness again.
“Oh? A misunderstanding?” Lin Fan raised an eyebrow, his tone laden with implication.
“Senior, it really is a misunderstanding. Although Zhu Di is my son-in-law, he is like a son to me. It was because I valued him that I married my daughter to him.”
The Han family head explained, his heart pounding.
He hadn’t expected Zhu Di’s claims to be true—that he really did have a powerful master.
If he had known earlier, he wouldn’t have dared to act so recklessly, even with ten times the courage. He would have treated Zhu Di like a treasure.
He wouldn’t have let him suffer so much.
“Married down?” Lin Fan frowned, feigning displeasure.
The Han family head froze, his face turning pale as he realized his slip of the tongue.
“No, no, it was an honor, an honor!”
At this moment, the members of the Han family all lowered their heads. They had previously mocked Zhu Di, but now they were all silent.
At the same time, they felt a chill in their hearts. The Han family head had his daughter, so he might be safe, but if Zhu Di complained to his master about the suffering he had endured over the years, they might face dire consequences.
Han Lei watched her father being frightened like this, feeling both amused and exasperated.
Why was her father like this?
“My dear son-in-law, your father-in-law has a bad temper. I hope you won’t take it to heart,” the Han family head said as he approached Zhu Di, patting the back of his hand with a heartfelt tone.
“I only have one daughter, so naturally, I hope she married the right person. I may have been strict with you, but it was all for your own good. It’s just that your father-in-law’s way of expressing it was a bit off. You won’t hold it against me, will you?”
The Han family head now seemed like a completely different person, his tone and expression instantly becoming gentle and kind.
Zhu Di was momentarily taken aback by the Han family head’s sudden change.
“I wouldn’t dare,” Zhu Di replied. After all, the Han family head was his father-in-law, and Zhu Di naturally wanted to save face for him.
“Good, good. As long as you don’t hold it against me. After I pass away, the Han family will be entrusted to you…”
…
Han Lei, seeing the look in her father’s eyes, felt a softness in her heart. She then turned to Zhu Di, who, upon meeting her gaze, understood immediately.
“Master, my father-in-law has treated Lei’er and me well. Let’s let this matter rest.”
Zhu Di knew his master’s temperament—he was extremely protective. If this were to escalate, the Han family would undoubtedly suffer.
He was merely pleading for leniency.
“Since you’ve spoken, we’ll let it go,” Lin Fan said.
This was Zhu Di’s family matter. Whether the Han family head treated Zhu Di well or not, Lin Fan didn’t care. With his presence, they would have to treat him well unless they had a death wish.
Hearing this, the Han family head breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Fan’s earlier display had completely shaken him. If they had angered him, it would have been a true tragedy.
“Alright, Zhu Di, come with me to find your other fellow disciples.” Now that the matter was resolved, even if Zhu Di remained with the Han family, he would no longer face any hardships.
“Yes,” Zhu Di replied.
After exchanging a few words with Han Lei, Zhu Di followed Lin Fan and left.
The moment Lin Fan departed, the Han family head could no longer bear the immense pressure and collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.
“I never expected Zhu Di’s master to be so powerful,” the Han family head said with relief.
“Father, I told you long ago that my husband’s master is truly formidable. The reason he hasn’t appeared in the past five years is because he ascended to the upper realm,” Han Lei said, a weight lifted from her heart.
“Ascended…”
Hearing this, the Han family head felt a pang of regret. If only he had believed it back then, none of this would have happened.
If they had established a good relationship with their son-in-law from the start, the outcome would have been entirely different.
But the Han family head thought it wasn’t too late to mend things now.
Han Lei was his daughter, and Zhu Di was his son-in-law—a relationship that even heaven and earth couldn’t sever.
“Good, from now on, we’ll develop boldly. If we encounter any problems we can’t solve, surely our son-in-law won’t stand idly by? And even if he can’t handle it, his master surely won’t ignore it, right?”
“Father, don’t overthink it. Zhu Di’s master dislikes trouble and doesn’t condone wrongdoing,” Han Lei said.
“Daughter, how am I overthinking? Alright, I won’t say more. I need to spend some time with my granddaughter.”
Han Lei watched the scene before her. Although she knew it was all due to Zhu Di’s master, she felt content.
…
“Zhu You, I’m not blaming you, but for a man to end up in such a state, it’s quite something,” Lin Fan said within the cave.
Zhu Di scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed.
“Master, there was no other way.”
“Alright, go spend some time with Tian Jiao. That kid has gone through a lot and has become withdrawn. Help him overcome his inner struggles,” Lin Fan said.
