The Royal Palace of Yunlan.
At this moment, the ruler of Yunlan stood before the great hall, gazing in the direction of the summer resort.
Just then, terrifying lightning flickered above the summer resort.
"What's going on? Could the Old Ancestor be in danger?"
As the ruler of Yunlan worried, Qin Hanchu suddenly appeared behind him.
"He is dead."
Qin Hanchu's voice startled the ruler of Yunlan.
"You... you killed the Old Ancestor?"
Seeing Qin Hanchu standing unharmed behind him, the ruler of Yunlan's eyes were filled with despair.
Even the Old Ancestor was no match for Qin Hanchu. Who in Yunlan could possibly oppose him?
At this moment, Qin Hanchu had reached his side, and with Qin Hanchu's strength, he could easily kill him.
"From now on, I am your Yunlan's Old Ancestor!"
"What do you think?"
Qin Hanchu stared coldly at the ruler of Yunlan.
The ruler of Yunlan was stunned for a moment, then he quickly knelt on the ground: "From today onwards, Yunlan is willing to pledge allegiance to you as its master."
"Choose a few loyal individuals and send them to Fengcheng. I will help you rebuild the Xuntian Division."
Before the ruler of Yunlan could speak, Qin Hanchu had vanished from his spot.
Witnessing such terrifying skill, the ruler of Yunlan's mind went blank.
How many secrets in this world did he not know?
Even though he was the ruler of a nation, his life was like an ant's in front of Qin Hanchu.
...
Baihan Palace was the premier entertainment venue in the capital.
Since he had already arrived in the imperial city, Qin Hanchu naturally wouldn't return immediately.
After dinner, he went to Baihan Palace.
Under the neon lights, men and women of all sorts were indulging themselves to the music.
Qin Hanchu approached the bar and ordered a cocktail.
As he savored his drink, a surprised voice called out, "It's you, what a coincidence."
Qin Hanchu turned his head and saw that it was the flight attendant he had met before.
She had changed into casual clothes and looked more fashionable.
Besides her, there were three other beautiful women accompanying her.
From their demeanor, they all appeared to be flight attendants as well.
Like other nightlife venues, Baihan Palace charged an entrance fee only for men.
Beautiful women like flight attendants could enter for free.
Besides the wealthy beauties, most beautiful women hoped to find a rich husband here.
These four flight attendants likely had similar intentions.
"It is indeed a coincidence," Qin Hanchu said with a smile.
"Are you alright?" the flight attendant continued to ask.
Qin Hanchu spread his hands: "Do I look like I'm not alright?"
The flight attendant took a look, then smiled and extended her hand to Qin Hanchu: "My name is Xu Dongdong."
Qin Hanchu shook her hand: "Qin Hanchu."
"Dongdong, aren't you going to introduce him?" one of Xu Dongdong's colleagues asked, sizing up Qin Hanchu.
Xu Dongdong then said, "He's the passenger who helped me out earlier today."
"He's not only righteous but also handsome."
"Handsome guy, do you have a girlfriend? Our Dongdong is still single."
Xu Dongdong's colleague teased Qin Hanchu.
"Stop joking about me, you guys go do what you need to do," Xu Dongdong said, her cheeks slightly flushed.
"Alright, we won't bother you."
"We're going to have fun, hurry up and join us."
Xu Dongdong's colleagues waved goodbye to Qin Hanchu and headed towards a booth.
"You should go have fun too," Qin Hanchu said.
"Let me treat you to a drink, as a thank you," Xu Dongdong replied.
"No need, I'm leaving after I finish this drink," Qin Hanchu said, raising his cocktail.
Just as Xu Dongdong was about to speak, she suddenly saw her companions getting into an argument with two men.
Without time to talk to Qin Hanchu, Xu Dongdong hurried over.
Qin Hanchu watched the enraged parties with amusement.
"What are you pretending to be so pure for? Just tell me how much you want for a night!"
The young man speaking was reeking of alcohol. Dressed in designer brands, he was clearly a rich second-generation heir.
"We're not prostitutes, you've got the wrong people."
The young man, with blurry eyes, scoffed: "I understand, you don't like the word 'prostitute,' right? How about this, let's not talk about money but about feelings, can we?"
"Don't argue with them, let's go somewhere else to have fun."
Seeing her colleagues still wanting to argue with the young man, Xu Dongdong quickly stopped them.
Those who could afford to patronize Baihan Palace were all wealthy young masters. How could they possibly contend with these people?
If they couldn't win, they could only retreat for now.
Xu Dongdong's colleagues also knew they couldn't afford to offend these rich second-generation heirs, so they could only suppress their anger and try to leave.
But the other party wouldn't let them leave so easily. The two young men directly blocked Xu Dongdong and the others' path.
"What? Leaving already?"
"If we don't let you leave, you're not leaving."
As the two youths finished speaking, a tall and handsome young man emerged from the crowd.
He stood in front of Xu Dongdong and her companions, glaring at the two youths before him and saying, "They are my friends, scram!"
"Young Master Zheng!"
"Our apologies, we didn't know they were your friends, Young Master Zheng."
"Forgive us, we'll leave now."
"We ask for your forgiveness, Young Master Zheng."
Seeing this tall and handsome young man, the previous two youths quickly apologized.
"So handsome!"
The young man's actions made Xu Dongdong's colleagues' eyes light up.
The young man before them was not only tall and handsome, but he also seemed to have an impressive background.
Wasn't this exactly the rich husband they were looking for?
"Thank you for helping us out," one of Xu Dongdong's colleagues said gratefully, her eyes sparkling.
"Let us treat you to a drink," another flight attendant added.
The handsome young man smiled: "How can I let such beautiful ladies treat me? Let me treat you to a drink instead."
"Okay."
Xu Dongdong's colleagues nodded with smiles and followed the handsome young man towards a booth.
Seeing her colleagues leave with the young man, Xu Dongdong walked back to Qin Hanchu alone.
"Why aren't you going with them?" Qin Hanchu asked.
"They dragged me here. Honestly, I don't really like places like this."
Hearing Xu Dongdong say this, Qin Hanchu replied, "Since you don't want to come, don't come. If you truly encounter danger, you won't be able to escape."
"That's true. If it weren't for this Young Master Zheng stepping in for us, those two wouldn't have backed down so easily."
Qin Hanchu chuckled: "Do you really think he was helping you?"
Xu Dongdong blinked in confusion: "What do you mean?"
"The three of them were together from the start. What you just saw was merely a show of 'hero saving the damsel.'"
Although Qin Hanchu had been sitting at the bar the entire time, he could see everything happening in the bar.
Xu Dongdong's eyes widened in shock. She hadn't expected it to be like this.
"Are you sure?"
Qin Hanchu took a sip of his drink and smiled: "Your colleagues probably saw through it long ago. Perhaps only you are still in the dark."
"What did you say? My colleagues know the three of them are together?" Xu Dongdong was astonished again.
