Chapter 1653: Ling Tian?

Although Han Xue Nai was the Eldest Miss of Greenwave Han Mansion, she was currently under surveillance from a group of people under the Supreme Elder of Greenwave Han Mansion, Han Xin's command.

The news that someone had appeared in Han Xue Nai mansion and did not leave for a month quickly spread to Han Xin's ears.

"Even if that girl's not worried about damaging her reputation, is she not worried about angering the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion if news of this spread out?" Han Xin's expression was extremely grave.

He had intentionally let the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion see Han Xue Nai because she had refused to cooperate with him to find out who killed his grandson.

Previously, he was indeed very kind to Han Xue Nai. However, after he discovered his grandson's death had something to do with Duan Ling Tian to a certain extent, he had long thrown their relationship to the back of his mind.

Since Han Xue Nai refused to cooperate with him, he would destroy her! Naturally, he only wanted to destroy her, not the Greenwave Han Mansion.

No matter what, the Greenwave Han Mansion was a force that had nurtured him. It was all thanks to Greenwave Han Mansion that he managed to achieve his current cultivation base. Without the Greenwave Han Mansion, there would be no Han Xin.

Moreover, he owed his current position to the Greenwave Han Mansion as well. Without it, he was no different from an abandoned dog.

Due to this reason, he did not think of destroying the Greenwave Han Mansion. He only wanted to destroy Han Xue Nai for refusing to disclose the identity of his grandson's killer.

The moment Han Xin heard a stranger had come to Han Xue Nai's mansion and that it was a young man who had been staying for a month now, he wanted to go to Han Xue Nai's mansion and grab that young man and kill him to prevent him from destroying Han Xue Nai's reputation.

Naturally, he was not really concerned about Han Xue Nai's reputation. He was concerned about the safety of Greenwave Han Mansion. If this news spread to the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion, it might infuriate him, and he might vent his anger on the Greenwave Han Mansion.

At that time, it would be dangerous since the Greenwave Han Mansion might fall out with the Rising Sky Mansion.

If something happened to the Greenwave Han Mansion, he would not be able to escape as well since he was the Supreme Elder.

"Go! Go warn that girl and tell her to ask the man to leave... If the news spread to the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion, she won't be the only one who's implicated. The entire Greenwave Han Mansion would be implicated as well!" He ordered as he looked at a green-clad old man standing on his right.

The green-clad old man was an inner mansion elder, and he was usually at Han Xin's beck and call. He worshiped Han Xian as though he was a god.

He responded when he heard Han Xin's words before he turned to leave and look for Han Xue Nai.

"Eldest Miss, you must know that you're not only the Eldest Miss of Greenwave Han Mansion. Currently, you're also the fiancée of the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion... If people find out that you allowed an unfamiliar young man to stay at your residence, they would definitely talk about it. If this news is heard by the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion, I'm afraid he won't let the matter go," the green-clad old man said bluntly when he saw Han Xue Nai.

"The reason you came here is to tell me this?" Faced with the lackey who was always by Han Xin's side, Han Xue Nai snorted coldly. "If that's the case, Elder Ke, please return."

This inner mansion elder of Greenwave Han Mansion was called Han Ke.

When the green-clad old man heard Han Xue Nai's words, a hint of anger flashed across his eyes. However, he did not dare to show too much of his anger due to Han Xue Nai's identity. Instead, he merely said in a low voice, "Eldest Miss, I know you won't listen to me. Even if you don't want him to leave the Greenwave Han Mansion, you should at least make him leave your mansion to avoid arousing suspicion. You should know what consequences it would bring if news of this spread out. Don't tell me you intend to let the Rising Sky Mansion vent their anger on the Greenwave Han Mansion, Eldest Miss?" Han Ke used his trump card.

It was not only him, but Han Xian and the other high-ranking officials on his side knew how Han Xue Nai cared about the safety of Greenwave Han Mansion. Otherwise, she would have long fled from the Greenwave Han Mansion with the help of the Mansion Master. They would not have been able to stop her if she really wanted to leave.

Put everyone else aside, just the strength of the Mansion Master alone was not inferior to Han Xin. Coupled with the Beast Tamer Mu Yi by the side of the Mansion Master of Greenwave Han Mansion, nobody would be able to stop her at all.

In regards to the situation Han Xue Nai was in, the Mansion Master of Greenwave Han Mansion would have taught a lesson to those who dared to defy him if it did not concern the survival of the Greenwave Han Mansion.

"Scram!" Han Xue Nai snarled as she furrowed her delicate brows.

Han Ke's expression turned grave immediately when he saw how impolite she was. He did not speak anymore and left with a wave of his sleeves.

After Han Ke left, Qing Nu appeared and sighed. "Young Miss, he has a point... Maybe we can arrange for him to stay in another place?"

"I won't let Brother Ling Tian leave." Usually, Han Xue Nai would consider Qing Nu's suggestion. However, she rejected it at this moment without considering it at all.

Even if he was not her Brother Ling Tian, since Han Ke had interfered, she would not let him go. Let alone the fact that he was her Brother Ling Tian, how could she bear to ask him to leave.

She knew very well whose side Han Ke was on. She also knew he came under whose instruction.

"You're finally feeling anxious, huh? You're worried this news would spread out, and it would infuriate the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion, causing them to vent their anger on Greenwave Han Mansion?" A cold sneer appeared on Han Xue Nai's face.

There was a cold light gleaming brilliantly in the depth of her eyes. The person who caused the look in her eyes was none other than the Supreme Elder of Greenwave Han Mansion, Han Xin.

Meanwhile, Han Xin was furious after he listened to Han Ke's report about Han Xue Nai.

"Don't tell me that girl's trying to rebel now?" Han Xin's expression was extremely grave. His eyes gleamed coldly as he exuded a terrifying and piercing aura that felt as sharp as knives. It felt as though it could cut through anything.

"Supreme Elder, what should we do now? We can't let her act so unrestrained. If this continues, even if she doesn't run away from the marriage, she would drag the Greenwave Han Mansion down," Han Ke said anxiously.

"Go and investigate the identity of the man and how he came to the Greenwave Han Mansion," he ordered.

Han Ke responded before he left.

As Han Xin's man and an inner mansion elder of the Greenwave Han Mansion, he, naturally, had his ways to investigate Duan Ling Tian's background. However, the information he obtained was only limited to after Duan Ling Tian had arrived in Greenwave City.

Prior to this, everything was blank according to his investigation. It was as though Duan Ling Tian had appeared out of nowhere in Greenwave City before he appeared at the City Governor's estate in Greenwave City.

"Ling Tian?" Through Han Ke's report, Han Xin learned Duan Ling Tian's name. Naturally, it was not his real name. It was a name he began using when he arrived in Greenwave City.

"Outsider? That girl's friend?" Han Xin's eyes brightened. "As far as I know, apart from following Qing Nu to the Mortal Continent a few years ago, she mostly stays in the mansion and rarely goes out. Even when she went out, it was only for a short while, and she did not make any friends! Since that young man is staying at her place, it means they're quite close. Don't tell me this young man is a friend she made when she went to the Mortal Continent?" Han Xin speculated.

Unfortunately, no matter how much he speculated, he would never be able to guess that the young man, Ling Tian, was the fiancé of the woman his grandson had wanted to lay his hands on. Moreover, the person who killed his grandson was this young man's father's subordinate.

He would feel restless if he was aware of this.

"That should be the case." Han Ke agreed with Han Xin.

"No matter what, we have to make him leave! At the very least, he needs to leave her mansion! Apart from that, make sure to send some men to keep an eye on the maids in that girl's mansion. Don't let them talk about this. Whoever dares to speak about this has to die!" Han Xin looked at Han Ke.

"Yes, Supreme Elder," Han Ke replied respectfully, "I guarantee that those maids won't dare to spread this news out."

"Other than that, contact all the other elders and ask them to gather so we can pressure the Mansion Master. The fact that the girl is keeping a strange man in her mansion puts the Greenwave Han Mansion in a precarious situation. Naturally, don't pressure him too much. We're not asking the strange man to leave the Greenwave Han Mansion, we just want him to leave the girl's mansion," Han Xin continued to tell Han Ke, "At this moment, that girl hates us to the core, who knows if she'll run away. That's not something you and I want to see happening."

"Don't worry, Supreme Elder. I'll contact the other elders immediately to pressure the Mansion Master... I believe the Mansion Master will prioritize the safety of Greenwave Han Mansion since this is an important matter," Han Ke said.

"Prioritizing the safety of our Greenwave Han Mansion?" Han Xin smiled disdainfully. "If he really cares about the safety of our Greenwave Han Mansion, he would not have thought of sending that girl away. In his heart, the Greenwave Han Mansion may not be as important as her."

"In Eldest Miss' heart, her father is also the most important to her, more than her own happiness." Han Ke smiled. "Due to this reason, we don't have to worry about her rejecting the marriage. All we have to do is wait for the Young Mansion Master to marry her, and our Greenwave Han Mansion will be related to the Rising Sky Mansion in the future. Although the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion is a rich man's playboy son, he's a giant among men. Who knows if he'll become the Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion in the future."

When Han Ke reached the end of his sentence, his eyes lit up as though he could see the infinitely bright future of Greenwave Han Mansion.
