As soon as he stepped into the Huang Mansion, Lin Han felt that the world before his eyes had changed drastically.

The courtyard of the Huang Mansion is no longer visible, and all that is left before our eyes is a field of flowers, which looks so beautiful that it makes us want to linger.

Maze array.

As a hermit who is a master of formations, it would be strange if he did not set up a formation to protect his own house.

But the illusion array had no effect on Lin Han.

Lin Han ignored the illusion in front of him, walked straight forward and knocked on the copper lock on the gate.

When the copper lock rang, the illusion array completely disappeared.

An old housekeeper came out of the house and was extremely surprised to see Lin Han and Dian Wei.

"What brings you here, two brave men?" asked the old butler.

"Please inform them that Lin Han is here to visit." Lin Han said calmly.

"Please wait a moment."

The old housekeeper hurried into the courtyard and came out a short while later to welcome Lin Han in and lead him to the backyard. Under a tree in the backyard, two old men were playing chess.

Familiar scene.

It was the same scene when Mo Qi brought him here that year. The people playing chess were Huang Chengyan and Pang Degong.

“Isn’t it a joy to have friends coming from afar?”

Huang Chengyan smiled happily when he saw Lin Han. Pang Degong next to him also looked at Lin Han and nodded with a smile.

"You two, I'm sorry to bother you with coming here."

"Don't bother me. The presence of a real dragon in our home naturally brings honor to our humble abode." Huang Chengyan smiled and pointed to the stone bench next to him: "Please sit down."

Lin Han sat down without hesitation and watched the game.

"But is it Emperor Xia Lin Han? The Xiao Hange who once dominated the world?" Huang Chengyan asked calmly.

"That's right." Lin Han nodded without hesitation: "I came here to invite you to come out of retirement."

"Leaving the mountains?" Huang Chengyan and Pang Degong laughed at each other, then shook their heads. "We are hermits, free and easy, with no desire to enter officialdom. I'm afraid Emperor Xia's trip will be in vain."

"The Imperial Astronomical Observatory said that the world will undergo great changes in two years, and foreign domains will descend. By then, the world may be in chaos. You two are talented, and for the sake of the people of the world, why can't you come out once?" Lin Han said.

"Emperor Xia, you're joking. Emperor Xia possesses the power of an immortal. Whether or not ordinary mortals like us intervene when an alien land descends upon us is a matter of insignificance." Huang Chengyan drank the tea and said, "Emperor Xia, why are you being so polite? I'm afraid you have another purpose for coming here."

"Yes, I do." Lin Han said without pretense, "Now that the world is at peace, talents are scarce, and there is also the threat of foreign invasion. This time, I went on a secret trip to seek out heroes from all over the world. Xiangyang is a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery, so naturally I came here to look for some. Since you two are not going out, do you have anyone to recommend to me?"

The two were stunned.

Suddenly, Pang Degong laughed and said, "Chengyan, why not let Emperor Xia break Achou's formation? If he can break the formation, I can introduce a great talent to Emperor Xia."

"this……"

Huang Chengyan's face twitched, and he glanced at Pang Degong, and he knew what his old friend was thinking.

"What's the matter, Brother Chengyan, are you afraid that Achou's formation will be broken?" Pang Degong asked jokingly.

"It's not impossible, but it depends on Emperor Xia's intention."

Huang Chengyan looked at Lin Han, waiting for his decision.

After all, Lin Han's identity is there. Although Emperor Xia ordered the abolition of the kneeling ceremony between the emperor and his subjects, the etiquette in his heart cannot be abolished. It still depends on Lin Han's decision.

"I wonder which talented person you would like to recommend to me? If there is one, I might as well give it a try."

"Pang Tong, the Phoenix Cub, in my opinion, his talent is not inferior to Zhuge Liang. It's a pity that Zhuge Liang died in the battle with Emperor Xia." Pang Degong felt sorry for Zhuge Liang while speaking.

"Pang Tong?" Lin Han's eyes lit up and he nodded slightly. "I've heard a little bit about it. I'll take on the task of breaking Miss Huang's formation."

"No problem."

Pang Degong laughed heartily and looked at Huang Chengyan.

Huang Chengyan called a maid and asked her to take Lin Han to Huang Yueying's boudoir.

On the way, the maid peeked at Lin Han from time to time, and seemed to be extremely satisfied with Lin Han's appearance. She introduced: "Sir, there is a rule to break our young lady's formation. You cannot use force or spiritual power. As long as you enter the young lady's boudoir, it will be considered successful."

"Okay." Lin Han nodded slightly.

When he arrived outside Huang Yueying's boudoir, Lin Han stopped and looked a little surprised.

In this small courtyard, array patterns are drawn based on stones, flowers and plants, and three layers of arrays are set up, which are linked together and are quite magical.

The Bagua Formation, the Maze Formation and the Soul-Blocking Formation prevent ordinary people from getting close to Huang Yueying's boudoir.

"Was the formation in the courtyard set up by your lady herself?" Lin Han asked.

"Of course, the young lady has been proficient in Qimen Dunjia since she was a child. She has top talent in formation and refining. The formation in the courtyard is just a small formation. The young lady's talent in formation and refining is not inferior to the master's." The maid said proudly.

"Then I'll give it a try."

Lin Han carefully looked at the formation in the courtyard, and was about to take the first step when he was stopped by the maid.

"Sir, our young lady has set a rule that if you can break the formation in the courtyard, you must marry her home. Our young lady is a famous ugly girl in the surrounding area. Have you thought about it? Once you break it, you must marry my young lady." The maid turned her eyes and reminded.

Lin Han was stunned. Thinking of Huang Chengyan and Pang Degong's strange appearance, he seemed to guess something. Those two old men were trying to trick him into breaking the formation.

But high-end hunters often appear as prey, don't they?

"Ugly? How ugly?" Lin Han asked with a smile.

"When I was little, I was very dark-skinned. The matchmaker told everyone I met that I was ugly and would never get married." The maid said seriously, "Sir, do you want to reconsider?"

"I'm curious now, how ugly you are, miss."

Lin Han thought back to the dark-skinned little girl he had met at the beginning, and wondered how she would change when she grew up.
