79: Upon arriving in Central Plains, I unexpectedly encountered students from Canaan Academy!

Stepping into Tianbei City, prosperity and clamor rushed forward: towering buildings, endless streams of people, and continuous cries of street vendors, all highlighting the flourishing state of this major town in the Northern Region of Central State.

The dense Spiritual Qi in the air threaded its way into everyone's pores. Zi Yan's small face was flushed with excitement. She tugged on Jiang Luo's sleeve and clamored, "Big Brother Jiang Luo, this place is much more interesting than the Black-Corner Region!"

A faint smile played on Jiang Luo's lips. Just as he was planning to find a place to settle down, a familiar and slightly surprised cry suddenly came from behind him: "Jiang Luo? Is that really you?"

He paused his steps and looked back, only to see a woman wearing a moon-white robe, her silver hair cascading down her back like a waterfall. Her features held a familiar coolness—it was none other than Han Yue, a student of the Inner Academy of Jia Nan Academy.

They had met once before when he went to Jia Nan Academy to subdue the Strange Flame.

Grand Elder Su Qian also said that if he went to Central State, the Han Family might be a good place to stay.

He hadn't expected to run into Han Yue immediately after arriving.

However, the latter now lacked some of the composure she had at the Academy; her brow was slightly furrowed, and her expression carried an undisguised weariness.

"Han Yue?" Jiang Luo was also surprised. "It's been a long time. I didn't expect to run into you here in Central State. Judging by your appearance, have you run into some trouble?"

Han Yue quickly walked closer, a trace of relief flashing in her eyes: "It really is you! I thought I had mistaken you for someone else. I really have run into big trouble. My Han Family here in Tianbei City is being relentlessly pressured by the Hong Family. My father is anxious and worried about this, and many of our Family assets have been seized by them."

As she spoke, Han Yue's eyes reddened slightly, and her tone was filled with resentment and helplessness.

Jiang Luo nodded slightly, contemplating inwardly that encountering such a matter upon arriving in Central State could actually be an opportunity.

Before he could speak, Zi Yan bounced out and said indignantly, "This Hong Family is going too far! Big Brother Jiang Luo, we can't just ignore this!"

After all, Han Yue was from the same sect/school as her. As the former Big Sister of the Inner Academy, she absolutely would not allow anyone to bully them!

Jiang Luo raised his hand and rubbed Zi Yan's head. He looked at Han Yue and said earnestly, "Since we've run into this, I naturally won't stand by if I can help. However, I also have a request. Since I'm new to Central State and not well-informed about information here, I need you to help me look out for clues regarding rare medicinal herbs and Strange Flames, especially Materials that can reshape the Physical Body."

Han Yue's eyes lit up, and she quickly nodded: "No problem! The Han Family has been rooted in Tianbei City for many years; we have extensive connections and many information channels. I will certainly handle this small matter! As long as we can help the Family overcome this difficulty, I'll do anything!"

Upon hearing this, Zi Yan grabbed Jiang Luo's hand and shook it vigorously: "Big Brother Jiang Luo, let's hurry! I can't wait to go teach those bad guys a lesson!"

Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin also cast affirmative glances, silently expressing their support.

Jiang Luo smiled and said to Han Yue, "Then please lead the way, Miss Han Yue."

Han Yue led the group toward the Han Residence. Along the way, she detailed how the Hong Family relied on its massive Family power, colluded with external experts, and continuously suppressed the Han Family.

Jiang Luo and the others listened quietly, gaining a preliminary understanding of this Family dispute, and each began making their own calculations.

Before long, Jiang Luo and his group followed Han Yue through several bustling streets, finally stopping in front of a magnificent manor radiating a grand Aura.

A gilded plaque hung above the vermilion red gate of the manor, inscribed with the words "Han Residence," conveying a sense of deep heritage associated with long-term authority.

"This is my home," Han Yue said softly, but there was no joy of returning home on her face; instead, she carried a trace of subtle worry.

Jiang Luo's gaze swept over the front of the residence, and his brow furrowed slightly. Several luxuriously decorated black carriages were parked there. Carved onto the carriages were ferocious Crimson Wolf Head Emblems, emitting an overbearing Qi.

"This is... the Hong Family's convoy." Han Yue's face instantly turned pale, and an ominous premonition rose in her heart. "What are they doing at my house?"
