Han Family.
The old master of the Han Family went to the clan to discuss the selection of the competition candidates with the elders.
Han Ye was left in the room to heal his injuries.
Han Ye sat in the chair, his face looking extremely ugly.
Qu Xuan pushed the door open and said to the servants, "You all go out."
The servants sighed with relief.
Qu Xuan sat down beside him, glanced at him, and said, "I hear it starts tomorrow."
Both men were well aware of what was starting.
Han Ye’s hands rested on the armrest, clenched tightly into fists, his eyes red with unshed tears and dark circles betraying his exhaustion.
Qu Xuan sighed with pity, "I understand you’re hurting inside."
Han Ye aflame with rage, his eyes burning, "No, master, you don’t understand. Do you know how it feels to be called useless by others? Do you know the pain of falling from the clouds to the dust? And you don’t know the shame of having Hei Fengqi snatched from my grasp!"
Qu Xuan opened his mouth but did not counter his words.
Han Ye asked coldly, "Who exactly leaked the news?"
Qu Xuan replied, "The Han Family kept tight-lipped about your injury; it wouldn’t have come from them. it must’ve been Xiao Liulang and Changsun."
Han Ye frowned, "Speaking of which, I’m furious. Changsun turned out to be legitimate!"
Having been verified by Wang Xu himself, there left no doubt.
But how did he get mixed up with Xiao Liulang?
Qu Xuan had no answer to that.
However, one thing was certain: Changsun had caused them no small amount of trouble and might continue to do so in the future.
Han Ye clenched his teeth, "If I lose Hei Fengqi under my watch, then I will truly become the sinner of the Han Family!"
Qu Xuan reassured him, "That won’t happen."
Han Ye looked skeptically at Qu Xuan, "How can you be so sure?"
Qu Xuan smiled faintly, "Hei Fengqi won’t be taken by any other family."
Han Ye snorted coldly, "Does master have such confidence in those young members of the Han Family?"
Qu Xuan said, "Your fifth uncle has returned."
Han Ye was startled, "Uncle Five..."
Qu Xuan nodded, "He has returned with a new king of Hei Fengqi, one that is more powerful, younger, and swifter than the one you rode before."
Han Ye was almost in disbelief, "More powerful than my Hei Fengqi... How is that possible?"
