While Han Rui was shocked, Han Mo calmly withdrew his gaze. "The formula I promised you in the tomb, I will naturally keep my word."
Hearing this, Han Rui finally snapped out of his shock. He felt lingering fear, but still feigned composure, saying, "Oh, yes, I don't think you're someone who breaks their promises."
Why did he feel the Han Mo in front of him was so terrifying? Was it an illusion? Or... because he understood mind-reading, he felt an unknown fear towards those whose inner thoughts he couldn't see?
Han Mo said indifferently, "Is there anything else?"
Han Rui immediately nodded. "You are so benevolent, how can I be unrighteous? Since you've agreed to give me your exclusive secret formula, I don't mind teaching you a couple of tricks to help you win back Xiao Xi'er."
Han Mo frowned. "Teach me a couple of tricks?"
Having lived for nearly four hundred years, apart from his childhood when his father hired famous teachers for him, no one else had dared to try and teach him anything.
Seeing his disdainful expression and glancing at Bai Xi standing not far away, Han Rui directly started editing on his phone and showed it to Han Mo. "Dr. Han, perhaps you haven't had much experience with girls before. Seeing how benevolent you are, I'll teach you how to appease Xiao Xi'er, what do you say?"
Han Mo was originally quite dismissive, but looking at Bai Xi who had her back to him, he fell silent.
After a few seconds of hesitation, he also took out his phone and typed a few words: "How should I do it?"
Seeing this, Han Rui's face lit up with a radiant smile, like a blooming flower, enchanting and ostentatious. He then began typing on his phone, "Let me tell you, although my medical skills are not as good as yours, with this handsome face of mine, I'm quite popular with girls. So, there are always many girls around me..."
Han Mo, seeing the ever-increasing nonsense he was typing, directly snatched Han Rui's phone and typed three words and a punctuation mark: "Get to the point!"
Han Rui shot Han Mo an unhappy glance before starting to type furiously on his own phone.
Xuan Feng glanced sideways at the two of them, his brow furrowing slightly.
Bai Xi also felt the oppressive atmosphere from Xuan Feng's side and looked in the direction of his gaze.
It was not others, but Han Rui and Han Mo.
The two were sitting very close, fiddling with Han Rui's phone together, so close that they seemed... to be getting along well.
Why did this harmony give her a sense of displeasure?
Shangyang City, the Han family.
Han Cai, the patriarch of the Han family, sat in the living room, gripping his walking cane, his brows tightly furrowed, looking uneasy.
Uncle Zhang walked over with a teacup, saw Han Cai's expression, and smiled, "Master, are you perhaps a bit anxious? Would you like me to take you to the restroom?"
Hearing this, Han Cai immediately knew Uncle Zhang was teasing him. "Old Zhang, you're becoming more and more impudent lately, teasing me like this. Do you believe me, do you believe me, I'll tell you to sweep the backyard tomorrow and not let you hang around me."
Uncle Zhang smiled and said, "I know, Master cherishes me and is reluctant to."
Han Cai forcefully tapped his cane on the ground twice. "It's good that you know I cherish you, but don't be spoiled and proud with me!"
Uncle Zhang chuckled as he poured the tea for Han Cai and placed it on the coffee table beside him. "Yes, I know. But Master, you really don't need to worry. Didn't the eldest daughter of the Bai family promise you? That eldest daughter of the Bai family is very capable. She promised to bring the young master back, and she will definitely bring the young master back."
Han Cai sighed, "I know, but I can't help but worry."
After all, his son had also said he would return, but he never did.
Just then, hurried footsteps were heard from outside the door: "Patriarch, the young master, the young master has returned."
Han Cai, who was about to reach for his teacup, immediately retracted his hand the moment he heard this. Leaning on his cane, he walked out with an anxious expression. The door opened, and he saw Bai Xi and the other three.
For a moment, he felt his eyes well up with warmth.
He suppressed this emotion, raised his cane, and strode towards Han Rui. "You brat, you're finally willing to come back, aren't you?"
Han Rui was talking to Xuan Feng when he saw his grandfather personally come to greet him and immediately stepped forward. However, just as he was about to go forward, he was met with his grandfather's black wooden cane, which landed on his shoulder. "Grandpa, I finally came back, and this is how you welcome me."
Han Cai said indignantly, "You're the one who wanted to leave, and now you're back. What, now that you're back, I have to welcome you? Do I need to throw a banquet to welcome you?"
Han Rui was initially a bit resentful, but upon seeing his grandfather's slightly red eyes and shaky posture, he suddenly felt his own nose sting.
Yes, he had only been after the so-called Han family treasure, without considering his grandfather's worries. Now, his grandfather could only rely on him in the Han family.
Fortunately, there was Xuan Feng, Bai Xi, and Han Mo... He had returned alive, and had avenged his father.
From now on, he would take on the responsibility of the Han family and the responsibility of being the Han family patriarch.
But now, nothing was more important than appeasing his grandfather. He plastered a smile on his face, affectionately hooked his arm through Han Cai's, and as they walked towards the villa, said, "You know me best, Grandpa. A banquet would be great, it would be even better if you could invite a few noble ladies to liven things up for me."
Hearing this, Han Cai momentarily forgot his previous anxiety and unease, and said angrily, "You brat, you're causing trouble for me as soon as you get back. Noble ladies? Do you want me to find you some apes? You're really going to make me, this old man, angry to death!"
Back at the Han family, Bai Xi briefly recounted what had happened at the tomb. Han Cai listened with great shock. "That was a tomb, and the treasure... was gold?"
Bai Xi said lightly, "I apologize, but due to some unforeseen circumstances, we were ultimately unable to retrieve the treasures belonging to the Han family."
Han Cai immediately raised his hand, signaling Bai Xi to not speak like that. "Miss Bai, you are too kind. I am already very happy that you were able to bring Rui'er back alive. Money is an external possession. It's good to have it, but if not... as long as the person is alive, there will always be a chance to obtain it."
Bai Xi nodded. "Thank you, Mr. Han, for your understanding. Your magnanimity and clarity will surely lead to a long and healthy life."
Han Cai smiled. "Then thank you for your kind words, Miss Bai."
He didn't know how Han Rui had become attached to this young lady before him.
But he knew she was their Han family's benefactor, their savior. Without her... the Han family would likely be in a lot of trouble right now.
After making a few casual remarks, Han Cai suddenly spoke again. "By the way, Miss Bai, did you happen to see my son's remains in that tomb..."
This matter had been weighing on his mind for a long time.
In fact, he had wanted to ask as soon as he learned they had entered the tomb, but he was afraid he wouldn't be able to bear it.
He had spent a long time adjusting his emotions before speaking, and even so, his voice trembled slightly.
Upon hearing this, Bai Xi hesitated for a moment before looking directly at Han Rui.
She knew that Xue Yi had killed Han Rui's father, but how exactly should she explain it... this was the Han family's internal affair, and she, an outsider, could not make a decision casually.
