When Han Xing heard Zhao Xiyao’s words, he couldn’t help but laugh, “I know Uncle doesn’t have any bad intentions. He’s just a little addicted to this game. It’s okay. 1 can understand.”

In his previous life, he had encountered too many similar situations. However, he did not expect that the head of a large family like the Zhao family was actually a gaming enthusiast. It was really beyond his expectations.

“Actually, my family doesn’t have much of an opinion. I’m basically in charge of the Zhao family’s affairs. My thoughts are actually very simple. It would be best if they could join the Mad Dragon Guild.”

“To be able to form an alliance with the Mad Dragon Guild, at least the other families won’t dare to act rashly. However, that would be too selfish. I don’t want you to become a chess piece in our family’s struggle, Guild Master.”

Han Xing naturally understood Zhao Xiyao’s thoughts. In the end, Zhao Xiyao felt that he, an outsider, should not be involved in the Zhao family’s family struggle. If Han Xing was involved, it would be a bit of a use, but Han Xing didn’t mind.

He comforted Zhao Xiyao, “1 understand your thoughts, but in my eyes, this is not a big deal. To be able to cooperate with a big family like the Zhao family is also of great benefit to my Han family. This is not necessarily a relationship of using or not using each other. Perhaps it’s just the two families making progress together.”

Zhao Xiyao didn’t expect Han Xing to say that. She knew that the guild master was a good person, but she did not expect him to be willing to make plans for the Zhao family.

“Guild Master, thank you for this matter. If there’s anything that you need the Zhao family for, please feel free to ask.”

“It’s fine. These are all small problems. However, soon after these families unite, we will have to open a large-scale dungeon. Leveling is the most important thing. When the time comes, your father…”

Han Xing was indeed worried about Zhao Xiyao’s father. With Zhao Qingshan’s behavior earlier, it was impossible to stop him from participating in the guild dungeon battle.

However, Han Xing didn’t know if his strength was enough. After Fourteen Continents trains Zhao Qingshan, if he could be of use, Han Xing would let him go up and give it a try.

He knew the thoughts of these addicted players all too well. Everyone wanted to unleash their strength in the Second World and become a hero that others envied.

“I’ll talk to my father. If he’s really not strong enough, 1 won’t let him drag our guild down.”

Zhao Xiyao felt a headache when she thought of her father’s behavior.

If her father knew that his words had ruined the possibility of him playing, he would probably be anxious when he went home.

“Alright, you can do as you see fit. Just inform me when the time comes.”

Han Xing actually had many things to do. After all, there were too many things waiting for him to do at this time. He still had to improve his alchemy skills.

If he could inherit the skill of alchemy after the integration of reality with the Second World, he would be able to specially refine pills for his sister according to her condition. That way, he would not have to run to Mr. Mo all the time.

He scanned the members of the Mad Dragon Guild and checked his friend list, but he still did not see White Jade Snow Orchid.

“Where’s Xuelan?” he asked curiously.

Zhao Xiyao explained, “She should have returned to the Shangguan family. She hasn’t been online for the past few days.”

Han Xing nodded, “Okay. If she has time, remember to let me know. I have something important to talk to her about.”

“No problem, Guild Master. I will contact her privately.”

The two of them did not know that Shangguan Xuelan had already returned to the Shangguan family.

She did not want to go back, but the Shangguan family insisted that all the family members must be present. Even her father, Shangguan Feiyun, was called.

When Shangguan Xuelan arrived, she found out that her grandfather was seriously ill and had been admitted to the hospital.

The doctor didn’t find any special reason for his condition, so he could only let him recuperate in the hospital. Fortunately, he was still conscious, otherwise…

Shangguan Xuelan didn’t dare to think about the rest. If she really couldn’t see her grandfather, she would regret it for the rest of her life.

When the Shangguan family saw her return, none of them looked at her in the eye.

At present, Shangguan Hai and the others hold the power in the Shangguan family. After all, other than them, no one could shake the status of the Shangguan family.

Shangguan Jin looked at Shangguan Xuelan with disdain. The expression on his face was very ugly. He hadn’t settled the score with her for the last time, but now that he had a favor to ask of her, so he could only endure it for the time being.

This time, Shangguan Hai was leading the family meeting to discuss the next situation.

“Feiyun, it’s been hard on you to come back this time.” Shangguan Hai pretended to be polite, but he was very disdainful inwardly.

With Shangguan Feiyun’s talent, it was already his limit to be able to raise someone like Shangguan Xuelan.

Shangguan Jin was also feeling uncomfortable in his heart. However, Shangguan Xuelan was much stronger than his own son, which made him really resentful.

He smiled and said, “I’ll just point out one thing and won’t say much about anything else, lest you think that I’m targeting Feiyun’s family. The golden toad that Shangguan Yulan took last time is our Shangguan family’s heirloom, have you brought it back now?”

Shangguan Xuelan knew that they were waiting for her here. She was prepared for this, so she took out a small wooden box from her hand.

“Uncle, what are you saying? This is the treasure of our Shangguan family, how can one person keep it for themselves?”

Shangguan Jin chuckled, “My niece always speaks with a knife in her mouth. Of course, Uncle doesn’t mean that. You don’t want to keep this item for yourself, but that doesn’t mean that outsiders won’t, right?”

“Alright, Uncle, don’t talk about this anymore. Why did you specially call me and my father over?”

Seeing Shangguan Xuelan like this, Shangguan Feiyun couldn’t help but berate her, “When did you start talking to your elders like this? Is this how I teach you at home?”

Shangguan Xuelan pursed her lips and stopped talking. The expression on Shangguan Jin’s face was somewhat smug.

No matter how talented Shangguan Xuelan was, she was still a branch family descendant who wouldn’t be able to stand in the limelight.

The other uncles did not say much. In their eyes, Shangguan Feiyun was not even qualified to sit here. It was all thanks to his daughter that he could sit here today.

Unfortunately, Shangguan Feiyun did not realize this and thought that he still had some influence in the Shangguan family.

“Alright, don’t you think it’s inappropriate to be so noisy? Those who don’t know would think that the Shangguan family is ostracizing brothers for power struggles.”

Shangguan Hai said slowly at this moment. As soon as he said this, all his brothers shut up.

After Old Master Shangguan fell ill, Shangguan Hai took over his job. Recently, he handled the cooperation with various families perfectly. In addition, he was the eldest in the Shangguan family, so naturally, his brothers and sisters were very convinced by him.

“Xuelan, I called you back this time because I want you to do me a favor.. You would probably agree to such a small matter, right?”
