Chapter 2612 - Han Yan Walking Sky Path (1/2)

“Bao’er, why don’t you go with Little Auntie?” Han Sen asked Bao’er as they stood before the Sky Door.

“Sure.” Bao’er nodded and flew over to Han Yan. She took Han Yan’s hand and smiled. “Hey, Auntie. Bao’er is going to walk with you.”

But before they went onto Sky Door Island, one of the Sky guardsmen stopped their approach. He looked at Han Sen and said, “Brother Han, the leader issued a command that only Sister Han may traverse the Sky Path. Bao’er cannot cross it again.”

Han Sen was frustrated by that, but he couldn’t actively go against a decree issued by Sky Palace Leader himself. So, Bao’er returned to his side.

Sky Palace Leader was drinking tea at the time, and he murmured to himself. “If the gourds rumble again, it will reduce the amount of holy air in the vine. If this happens again, the holy vine will be killed.” Sky Palace Leader had good reason to be protective of the vine. That plant was the root of Sky Palace, and it was used to vet and grow the students that the Sky wished to train. If Bao’er was allowed to cross Sky Path every time Han Sen brought someone to Sky Palace, the holy gourd vine’s power would fall precipitously. If that happened repeatedly, the holy gourd vine would end up destroyed.

Last time Bao’er traversed Sky Path, she had received enough blessings for tens of thousands of average students. They had lost a lot that day, and Sky Palace couldn’t afford another hit like that.

That aside, the rules of Sky Palace only permitted one person to cross Sky Path at a time. Previously, Bao’er had only been allowed to go with Han Sen because she was so small. But that was why they lost as much as they did. Sky Palace Leader wouldn’t allow that to happen again.

Exquisite watched the Sky Path from afar. She wanted to know how talented Han Sen’s biological sister was. Perhaps she could learn more about Han Sen’s real gene talent level.

An eleven armor talent was too scary. It was difficult to believe that it was a genuine result.

“Brother, don’t worry. I won’t embarrass you.” Han Yan’s entire purpose in life was to catch up with Han Sen. She looked confident in this.

“Don’t exhaust yourself. Just cross it.” Han Sen didn’t want Han Yan to make a scene when she crossed the Sky Path. Making a name for yourself was never a good thing, he had discovered.

Traversing the Sky Path wasn’t that risky, though; when she ascended the stairs that led to Sky Palace, that was when the opportunity to impress the Sky would present itself. If Han Yan performed extremely well there, she could forget about having a quiet life.

Han Yan didn’t know what Han Sen meant. She thought he was saying that to alleviate the pressure she might have been feeling. “Sister Han, you can just stroll across. This is just a small crossing,” Yun Suyi said to comfort Han Yan. She didn’t want her to be nervous.

“Thank you, Sister Yun. I’m going now.” Han Yan walked through Sky Door Island. The people of Sky Palace watched her traverse the narrow Sky Path.

Han Yan already knew that going across Sky Path might trigger the holy air of the gourds. So, when she walked across the gourd vine, she stared down at the holy gourds.

The holy gourds were big and small. They were each cute in their own way, but they showed no sign of activity.

“I have heard Sister Yun say that when Big Brother walked across Sky Path, he didn’t receive the gift of holy air. But he made all the holy gourds shake and shiver. Why is nothing happening while I walk across it?” Han Yan frowned.

She continued to walk, and still, the holy gourds didn’t so much as twitch.

“Of course, without Bao’er there—that naughty kid—the crystallizer couldn’t have triggered the trembling of a thousand gourds.” Han Yan had already walked halfway, and not a single gourd moved. Sky Palace Leader merrily took another sip of his tea. He liked this.
