Two days later, Su Jin arrived in Tianyang City.

Han Qing was on a mission to the capital to receive his title, which was an unparalleled honor for the entire Tianyang City.

When the people of Tianyang City received the news that Han Qing was returning today, they crowded both sides of the road to give him a warm welcome.

It took us a long time to walk down that short street before we finally got into the government office.

Han Qing's residence was very simple, which was in line with his reputation for integrity.

Su Jin and others were properly resettled.

During dinner, Mai Zizi poked at the food on the table absentmindedly.

What are we doing in Tianyang City?

Su Jinxia explained calmly, "Han Qing has helped us a lot, and now he has something he wants me to help with, so it wouldn't be right to refuse."

Mai Zizi nodded, but still asked curiously, "What is it? Can I help?"

"Well... it's his private matter, not something to publicize, so you don't need to worry about it. It's not a big deal," Su Jinxia reassured him softly.

The dishes on the table were simple, and Su Jin noticed that Mai Zizi had little appetite.

She hasn't had a proper meal in days of traveling, so she must be exhausted.

"I've heard that Tianyang City is quite prosperous. Shall I take you out for a stroll?" Su Jin suggested.

Mai Zizi's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this, and she stood up right away, exclaiming, "Great! Great!"

Ever since Su Jin said she would send Mai Zizi back, Mai Zizi has been very well-behaved and hasn't dared to be willful at all.

Now I don't even dare to make my own decisions about going out.

Su Jin was both amused and exasperated.

The two went out, and the street was bustling with activity. Every corner was filled with people praising Han Qing for his love for the people and his brilliant judgment in solving cases.

The stability and prosperity of Tianyang City can be attributed to him alone.

Su Jinxia and Mai Zizi wandered through the streets and alleys, finding many delicious foods and seeing many novel things.

That night, the people spontaneously organized a celebration because of Han Qing's return.

Red lanterns were hung in every household, illuminating the entire city. A bonfire was lit in the East Street Square, attracting a large crowd who danced and sang, creating a lively atmosphere.

One after another, Kongming lanterns filled with hope adorned the night sky, making it even more magnificent.

In a flash, it felt like a golden age.

The next morning.

Han Qing led Su Jin through the streets and alleys to the residence of Han's parents.

From the outside, the mansion covers a large area, but the walls and red gate are simple and inconspicuous.

Su Jinxia stood in front of the gate, turning slightly to look to the left across the courtyard, where there was an inn.

The inn's door is at the front, but you can see the courtyard from the windows on the second floor.

"Miss Su?"

Han Qing called out, looking at Su Jin, who was standing there in a daze.

Su Jin blinked gently, her expression unchanged, and followed Han Qing into the courtyard and into the inner hall.

Han's father, named Han Feng, and Han's mother, named Nie Ping, were already seated at the head of the table, waiting for Su Jin to descend.

Han Qing gave a brief introduction of both parties, and Su Jin, following the rules of the martial arts world, bowed slightly and clasped her hands in greeting.

Han's father looked Su Jin up and down and felt that apart from being pretty and a bit rich, this girl had nothing special about her.

"Han Qing has already told me about your situation. You're quite lucky to have received Han Chuan's inheritance. But I'm very curious about your identity. Why were you in the Phoenix Pavilion's protective array, and how were you able to get out so easily?"

Mr. Han seemed to be a straightforward person, not beating around the bush at all, and asked all the questions he wanted to know right away.

Su Jin smiled faintly, "I'm sorry, I can't answer any of the questions you asked."

Han's father's face instantly darkened, and his tone became stern, "What do you mean? You won't even tell us your identity, so we cannot recognize you as our young master. Please return the young master's token!"

Han's mother added softly, "Girl, you and we cultivate the Lone Shadow Heart Method together, we are all in the same boat, we should trust each other more."

Su Jin glanced at Han Qing indifferently, her beautiful eyes sparkling with a half-smile.

Back then, Su Jin was willing to return the Young Master's Token, but Han Qing refused to accept it.

Han Qing guiltily avoided Su Jinxia's gaze. Back then was back then, and now is now.

Although Su Jinxia was not keen on becoming the young master, it didn't mean the Han family had to beg Su Jinxia; everyone needed to be honest with each other.

Su Jin turned around gently and sensed her surroundings. There were quite a few people in the house, and they were all quite powerful.

She couldn't just hand over the young master's order again like that. Since she had come all this way, she couldn't leave empty-handed; she had to gain something from it.

It's understandable that Han's parents don't approve of Su Jinxia, ​​and Su Jinxia can understand that.

Actually, there are many ways to gain their approval; status is the least important thing.

"What does Senior Han intend to do about the eyes outside the courtyard?" Su Jinxia asked calmly, her back to them as she looked out the door.

"What eyes outside the courtyard?" Han's father slowly stood up, walked to the door and looked outside, completely bewildered.

Su Jin looked at Han's father in surprise, "With so many experts in the courtyard, didn't anyone realize that you were being watched?"

Han Feng's expression turned serious, his eyes filled with suspicion. "Little girl, are you trying to fool me?"

The Han family has always acted cautiously, so how could they have been targeted?

If the Han family is targeted, it means that the Lone Shadow Society may be exposed, which is no laughing matter.

Su Jin shrugged, a confident smile on her face, "Whether I lied to you or not, you'll know once you go and see for yourself."

As soon as Su Jin finished speaking, she went out first, climbed over the other side of the courtyard wall, went around to the side of the inn outside the courtyard, went up to the roof, and then gently flew to the top of a room.

Inside the room, two people sat by the window drinking tea.
