Wu Shattered Star River

Walking in the Si family's backyard, Jiang Han was still recalling the meeting he just had with Si Wujian and several elders from Sword Demon Mountain. He felt a slight excitement in his heart.

Did Si Wujian seem to really approve of him? And the elders seemed to like him a lot too? Could this mean… Si Li also liked him?

Thinking of this, Jiang Han's breathing started to quicken. He had known Si Li for so long, but he couldn't quite figure out what she was thinking.

To say Si Li liked him, it didn't quite feel like it. But if she didn't like him, then why did Si Li protect him so many times, even risking her life to take three elders from Sword Demon Mountain to Divine Bird Island to save him?

Back then, outside Shark Island, she had also gone alone to save him…

Jiang Han was a complete idiot when it came to matters of the heart. He couldn't see through it, couldn't figure it out, so he was a bit anxious and uncertain.

Now that he was about to see Si Li, his heart naturally became exceptionally nervous.

"Whoosh!"

As he passed a courtyard, a figure suddenly darted out, blocking Jiang Han and Si Wang's path.

Si Wang glanced at the person and glared, saying, "Yu girl, what are you doing? So rash. Young Master Jiang is our honored guest. Aren't you going to apologize?"

The person was a beautiful woman in a red dress. Upon hearing Si Wang's words, she grinned and looked at Jiang Han, saying, "Jiang Han, do you still remember me?"

Jiang Han naturally remembered this fiery and unruly young lady. He cupped his fist and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Miss Yu."

Si Yu nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Jiang Han with a smile and said, "I heard you're here to propose marriage? Do you want to marry my sister?"

"Ah?"

Jiang Han's face immediately turned awkward, and his face turned red. He stammered, "No, no… I'm just here to thank Miss Li."

"Hehe!"

Si Yu widened her eyes and looked at Jiang Han a few times, saying, "Look at how red your ears are. You're feeling guilty, aren't you?"

Seeing Jiang Han's embarrassed appearance, Si Wang quickly smoothed things over, saying, "Alright, Yu girl, stop teasing him."

"Hehe!"

Si Yu suddenly held out a jade-like hand, saying, "If you want to see my sister, you have to pay a toll first. If you don't give me a satisfactory gift, you can forget about passing today."

Si Wang's expression darkened, and he scolded, "Yu girl, if you keep making trouble, I'll go get the Mountain Lord!"

"Don't, don't!"

Jiang Han quickly patted Si Wang on the shoulder. He was different now than before; he was a big tycoon. Having killed so many people, he had quite a few good treasures in his spatial ring.

Si Yu wanting a gift was no problem at all.

He pondered for a moment, and a light flashed in his spatial ring. A fruit appeared, and he handed it to Si Yu, saying, "Miss Yu, this is a small gift, a token of my respect."

"What kind of fruit is this?"

Si Yu frowned and took a look, muttering, "You're just giving me a fruit? That's too stingy. What kind of spiritual fruits don't we have in Sword Demon Mountain?"

"Hiss, hiss…"

Si Yu didn't know the value of the goods, but Si Wang next to her was frightened. He quickly waved his hand, saying, "This won't do, this won't do! Jiang Han, Yu girl is just messing around. How can you give such an expensive gift? This fruit is worth several million Xuan stones."

"Several hundred million?"

Si Yu was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted. She grabbed the fruit with her jade hand and asked with wide eyes, "Jiang Han, is this a Youth Preservation Fruit?"

"Mm!"

Jiang Han smiled faintly and said to Si Wang, "I picked this fruit in Undying Valley. I didn't buy it with Xuan stones, so it's fine."

"Wow!"

Si Yu jumped up, her face beaming with joy. Although she was also Si Wujian's granddaughter, her talent wasn't great.

She was only in the Reincarnation Realm right now, and she was still young, so she wasn't qualified to be allocated a rare treasure of the Youth Preservation Fruit level.

"Jiang Han, generous!"

Si Li hugged the Youth Preservation Fruit and ran off in a puff of smoke. Outside the courtyard gate, she looked back at Jiang Han and gave him an encouraging look.

She said, "Jiang Han, my sister's heart isn't easily captured. You have to work harder, be a little thicker-skinned, and you'll definitely succeed if you keep pestering her."

Jiang Han didn't know whether to laugh or cry, while Si Wang clicked his tongue secretly. Jiang Han was too generous, wasn't he? He gave away five hundred million so casually, without even a hint of heartache. How rich was this man?

"Mm… he is indeed very rich!"

Si Wang thought about how Jiang Han had killed so many people some time ago, and he didn't know how many Void Realm experts he had killed. Killing people and seizing their goods was the easiest way to make a fortune. The spatial rings of those Void Realm experts must have contained a lot of heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

Soon, the two arrived at Si Li's courtyard. Jiang Han took a look and nodded slightly.

Si Li's courtyard was similar to the courtyard she lived in on Heavenly Chaos Island. It didn't look luxurious at all; in fact, it felt a bit old.

This courtyard was in a corner, very quiet, and felt very elegant.

Si Wang knocked on the door and said, "Si Li, Young Master Jiang Han has come to pay a visit."

No sound came from inside. It took a full ten breaths of time before a clear, cold voice came: "Let Jiang Han in. Older Brother, you can go busy yourself."

Si Wang opened the courtyard door and made a gesture of invitation. He didn't go in himself. Jiang Han cupped his fist at him and walked into the courtyard.

Sure enough, the courtyard was similar to the previous one. The overall feeling was clean and tidy. Si Li wasn't in the front yard, and the hall door was open, but she wasn't there.

"Come to the backyard!"

Si Li's voice rang out, and Jiang Han could only pass through the hall and enter the backyard through the corridor next to it.

There was a large tree in the backyard, along with some flowers and plants. It was very quiet and elegant here.

Si Li was sitting on a futon under the tree. In front of her was a small square table, on which incense was burning, and a pot of tea had been brewed. There was also a chessboard and a scroll.

Si Li was still wearing white linen clothes, without any makeup on her face. Her hair was tied up with only a red string. Her eyes, like clear springs, looked at Jiang Han, neither happy nor sad.

Seeing Si Li, Jiang Han's breathing unworthily became rapid, his heart beat faster, and his face became slightly red.

He walked over and was about to perform a salute in front of Si Li when Si Li said faintly, "Why have you become so worldly? Bowing every day, aren't you annoyed? Sit down."

"Alright!"

Jiang Han scratched his head somewhat awkwardly, then sat down cross-legged. Si Li stretched out a slender jade hand and poured a cup of tea for Jiang Han, saying, "This tea is grown by myself, and the taste is a bit bitter. If you're not used to it, don't force yourself."

"I'll try it!"

Jiang Han held it up and took a sip. It was indeed very bitter at first, but slowly it had a sweet aftertaste, and it felt sweeter and sweeter, with a long aftertaste.

He tasted it for a moment, took another sip, closed his eyes, savored it for a moment, and nodded, saying, "Bitter at first, then sweet, with a long aftertaste. This tea is good."

Si Li looked at Jiang Han with clear eyes. Seeing that he wasn't lying, her expression softened a bit. She asked, "Jiang Han, what's the matter with you coming to see me?"

Jiang Han said sincerely, "I came here this time specifically to thank you and the seniors from Sword Demon Mountain. You risked your lives to save me on Divine Bird Island. Jiang Han is extremely grateful."

"Friendship is about sincerity, it's in the heart, not in the form!"

Si Li said faintly, "Shouldn't friends help each other when something happens? If I were to get into danger one day, you would also come to save me, wouldn't you?"

Jiang Han nodded quickly, saying, "Of course, I would spare no effort."

"So there's no need to thank me repeatedly. It seems very worldly." Si Li said faintly, "After you finish this cup of tea, you can go down the mountain."

"This…"

Jiang Han was a bit dumbfounded. He came here this time not only to express his gratitude, but more importantly, he wanted to… confess his feelings to Si Li.

He hadn't even said two sentences, and he hadn't had a chance to open his mouth, but Si Li was already issuing an eviction order?
