Chapter 929
A fifth-tier clan couldn't be underestimated .
Being included in the nine tiers of clans in the Imperial Capital meant that they were influential, possessing an esteemed status in society that would make other people look up to them .
The ancestor of the Shui Clan was an elite whose cultivation had reached the middle levels of the Sun Moon Tier . He was said to have reached the late stage of the middle levels, and was expected to go towards the peak . However, it ought to be impossible for him to reach the higher levels; after all, time and tide waited for no man—he didn't have that long to live .
The present patriarch of the Shui Clan was a sixth-ranked official of the Majestic Empire, and also the biological father of Shui Yanyu . His cultivation had also reached the minor levels of the Sun Moon Tier . In the future, it would be likely that he would take over the responsibility of guarding the Shui Clan from their ancestor .
Eight guards had lined up at the main doors, all of whom were at the level of the Shattering Void Tier .
Within the entire Imperial Capital, probably aside from the empress, other forces wouldn't be qualified to have cultivators of the Mountain River Tier serve as guards, as it would be a huge waste of financial resources . Secondly, it would also be too conspicuous—how would the empress view such a person?
With Shui Yanyu leading the way, they naturally entered the Shui Clan's manor with ease . They walked towards the study where the patriarch of the Shui Clan would be found .
"You mustn't let the cat out of the bag!" Shui Yanyu whispered to him before entering .
Ling Han smiled slightly, and said, "Rest assured . "
"I will be by your side to help!" Shui Yanyu stressed again .
"That would really be a huge help for me," Ling Han replied with a smile .
Shui Yanyu took a deep breath . Then, she pushed open the door and walked in first .
"Father!" she called out softly . Inside the study, there was only a middle-aged man sitting upright and reading a book . Hearing her, he looked up, and swept his gaze over both Shui Yanyu and Ling Han . He then nodded .
"You may leave first," he said to Shui Yanyu .
Shui Yanyu was stunned for a moment . She was about to open her mouth to speak when the man glared at her . At that moment, she could only take her leave obediently .
Ling Han caught her eyes momentarily, with an expression that meant: "you just said a while ago that you would stay by my side and support me . How could you abandon me in the blink of an eye?"
Shui Yanyu glanced at him . He could still make cutting remarks (send her accusatory stares) at a time like this…? Just what was his heart made of? It was really too tough .
She walked out of the entrance and closed the door behind her .
The patriarch of the Shui Clan—he was called Zige—did not speak or even bother to look at Ling Han . Instead, he picked up his book and continued reading .
At this moment, Ling Han was observing the other party . This middle-aged man was really too handsome for words . At the very least, Ling Han knew that he was no match for the man in terms of appearance . Moreover, for a full-grown man to be born with a pair of peach blossom eyes, it would really cause others—whether male or female—to be attracted to him .
It seemed that Shui Yanyu had taken more after her father as she not only inherited her father's exceptional beauty, but also the temperament . However, when these characteristics appeared on a man, it would make him appear effeminate . Yet, if they were found in a woman, her exquisiteness and allure would be bone-deep .
Shui Zige had no intention to speak at all, but the aura of an elite of the Sun Moon Tier had been set in motion . In such a situation, even an elite of the Mountain River Tier would be trembling all over, and not even have the strength to stand, let alone a cultivator of the Shattering Void Tier .
The suppression of every level in the Immortal Realm was really tremendous, especially at the stage of the major cultivation tiers . It was said that even the legendary five-star geniuses could not cross such a domain .
… For example, a cultivator at the peak level of perfection of the Mountain River Tier would not be able to directly confront another at the minor levels of the Sun Moon Tier—not even if you were a five-star genius . The so-called how-many-stars genius could only cross over the minor cultivation levels .
Ling Han couldn't endure it anymore; no matter how tenacious his spirit was, it wouldn't change the fact that he was still at the level of the Shattering Void Tier .
But what did it matter?
Ling Han directly sat down . 'Since you won't talk, then fine, I'll cultivate and we shall see who will surrender first . '
Seeing that Ling Han closed his eyes and began to calmly cultivate, Shui Zige had an urge to smash the book in his hands into Ling Han's face .
He had intended to intimidate Ling Han by displaying his strength, but it turned out that he had been bested by Ling Han .
"You are Ling Han?" he finally spoke up .
'Is this a joke? You've asked your daughter to bring me here, so how could you not know who I am now?'
