Elder Dongmei knew he could not treat Han Cai as a child anymore; the kid had become more powerful than him, and if that was not enough, he had become an emotionless killer and thief too, but the kid never disrespected him or the sect master.

Elder Dongmei would brag in front of the core elders and shame them whenever he got the opportunity that the child he raised was more powerful than all of their disciples' strengths combined. No core elder was ready to believe that Han Cai was that strong until Han Cai beat up dark hall elders. After that, the core elders had sweat forming on their heads.

The dark hall elders that Han Cai beat up were all golden core, and the core elders of the sect were also golden core. This meant that Han Cai was not only stronger than their disciples, but he was stronger than them too.

Han Cai ignored the elder's warning about robbing his targets.

Han Cai tried to leave for the third time, and the elder tried to stop him again. He spoke with a teasing smile, "You will be gone for a long time. Do you have any Dao partners you want me to inform about your disappearance?"

Han Cai shook his head, and before the elder could say anything else, he disappeared from the spot he was on.

When Han Cai left, a shadow appeared behind the elder Dongmei and sect master; this was the third nascent soul elder of the Sky Soaring Sect.

Before Han Cai started cleaning golden core targets for the dark hall, such missions were this elder's responsibility. But he was out of a job now, as Han Cai had taken over all the difficult missions of Dark Hall and completed them better than this elder.

He asked, "Are you sure you want to send him on such a difficult mission? He is good, but he is still a kid."

Elder Dongmei shook his head, "His completion rate is 100% when he disappears. Even I can't track him, nor can you, if he decides to escape. No one can catch him."

Elder Continued, "Some setbacks will be good if he fails, but I know he will not. Even if he fails, I am sure he will be able to run away; space talent is nothing to laugh about. "

The Shadow behind elder Dongmei sighed.

Han Family Cloud Mountain City

The Han family, led by matriarch Lady Jin, shifted to Cloud Mountain City three years ago from Eagle Trail Town.

The Han family's commercial business had boomed over the last three years. They had invested in a variety of businesses, including real estate, trade, and manufacturing. They diversified their business into several different sectors, such as agriculture, mining, and real estate. They had also established a few shops and restaurants in the city, which were doing very well. Everyone in the city respected the Han family because of Han Cai, the jewel of the Sky Soaring Sect. This led to many merchants and traders seeking the Han family's favor in order to conduct business with them.

Their businesses had become so successful that they had become one of the most powerful and respected families in northern Yin. This was due to their association with Han Cai, who was considered the ace of the Sky Soaring Sect.

Because of their fame, they were given preferential treatment, and their stores were always crowded with customers. This further enhanced the reputation of the Han family. They were on track to become one of the wealthiest and most influential families in Yin country.

The Han family's mansion was located on a hilltop in the city, which provided a beautiful view of the city. It was a grand, five-story building with a large courtyard and a garden. The mansion was surrounded by tall walls and had a guardhouse at the entrance. The interior of the mansion was beautifully decorated with fine furniture, elegant artwork, and expensive silk tapestries. The decoration was elegant, with intricate carvings and paintings adorning the walls. The furniture was made of the finest materials, and the floors were made of marble. The family had also employed several servants to take care of the household chores. The matriarch, Lady Jin, lived on the top floor of the mansion, while the other family members lived on the lower floors.

In the last three years, Han Dai's life in cloud mountain city has undergone a significant change too. He was the father of the esteemed Han Cai, the protégé of the Sky Soaring Sect, and was treated with the utmost respect and admiration by the citizens of the city.

To family members, He was regarded as the Han family patriarch. Han Dai's authority and influence had grown exponentially. His word carried weight, and his opinions were highly valued by the members of the family, as well as by the other merchants and traders in the city. He was often sought after for advice and guidance, and his reputation as a wise and fair businessman had spread far and wide.

Besides his personal influence, his business interests had also grown significantly. The Han family's commercial ventures had flourished under his leadership, and their trading and manufacturing operations had expanded to cover a wide range of goods and services. The Han family's stores and shops were highly regarded by the citizens of the city and were considered to be some of the best places to buy quality goods at fair prices. This made Han Dai very happy. The more the business grew, the more grew the size of his belly.

But what really pleased Han Dai most were Han Cai's visits.

The first time he saw Han Cai, he hugged his son and cried for hours. How could he not? His son had become so charming and handsome that he looked like an immortal from heaven. He missed his son every day.

Han Cai knew about this, so Han Cai would visit him quietly every two to three months, and they would have meals together and chat for a while.

Han Cai had told him not to tell anyone about his meeting with Han Dai because it could be dangerous. So no one in the family knew that his son visited him frequently to check if his father was doing alright.

Every time Han Cai visited him, he would bring a large number of gold coins, spirit stones, and expensive treasures for Han Dai to use and invest in more markets. This was the real reason the Han family grew so fast and became one of the biggest merchants in the city. Han Cai had told Han Dai to take all the credit for it. Han Dai had started making business connections all over Yin country and even outside of Yin.

Today was a cold morning. Han Dai had just woken up, but he did not feel like leaving the warmth of bed. He wanted to sleep more peacefully, his chubby body rolling all over the large bed. He was thinking about what excuse he should give today so he could sleep more in case his mother sent servants to wake him up.

Ever since they left Eagle Trail town, Han Dai felt that the whole family had become too dependent on him. They would keep bothering him day and night, either because they wanted some approval for trading or opening a store or because they wanted to buy a house for themselves, or because they wanted their children to be accepted in the sect. They will keep coming and disturbing his peace, trying to make a request.

They kept trying to disturb him for one reason or another; their requests were always related to some kind of approval from the sect, as no business or new trading could be done in Cloud Mountain City unless it was approved by the sect, and the only connection to the sect was Han Dai, as he had disciples of the Sky Soaring Sect serving him. If Han Dai asked for something to be done, those disciples would not even go to the sect to get approval; they would just do it themselves. In Cloud Mountain City, Han Dai wielded more power than the mayor.

But Han Dai did not desire power. Just like his son, he wanted to make more gold coins and sleep more peacefully without being disturbed.

There were some hiccups; some merchant families did not take the growth of the Han household well. Some even tried to hamper their businesses, but they never did it openly.

Han Dai blamed his kind heart for this, as he was too kind, and people would take advantage of him. He was planning to complain about this to Han Cai when he met him because this time, the family creating trouble for the Han family was a respected inner sect elder's family. So the disciples serving Han Dai couldn't do anything.

Han Dai, lost in his thoughts on his bed, was thinking about his problems.

He felt itchy.

He sighed and decided that after waking up, he should go bathe first. Yesterday, when he came back from his long trip after making a successful trade deal, he did not bathe but instead crashed directly on the bed because he was too tired.

When Han Dai went to scratch the morning itch in his spirit nuts, he heard a "Cough!"

Han Dai froze. When he looked for the source of the sound, he saw Han Cai, dressed in all black, sitting in a chair in his room. Han Dai immediately pulled his hand away from his gonads and sat up. He felt awkward because, while he was happy to see his son, he was caught doing some private" things.

Han Cai, on the other hand, looked unfazed and simply said,

"You are a cultivator now."

"Do you really need this much sleep?"

"And scratching your balls like a mortal, that's very cultivator-like."
