I Am Overlord Chapter 722: Han Chenfei's Comfort

Chapter 722: Han Chenfei's Comfort

The Han Clan sisters returned to 2 Phoenix Villa, but they had no idea how they had returned. They were in a complete daze, their appearances pitiful. Han Chenfei was waiting for them in the courtyard. When she saw them, she stepped forth and sighed, "Girls, you must have suffered a great blow."
The sisters directly jumped into her embrace and sobbed with great sorrow. It was obvious their feelings for Xiang Shaoyun were quite deep. Han Chenfei patted their shoulders, allowing them to cry all they wanted.
After a long while, they finally stopped crying. She said, "Alright. You've cried enough. Tell me, what do you plan to do next?"
"We will stay by your side forever, expanding the Glacier Palace alongside you!" Han Qianwei was the first to answer.
Han Xuewei also nodded. "Um. We are willing to follow you, big sister. Wherever you go, we won't leave you. We only hope that you won't refuse us."
Xiang Shaoyun's rejection had broken their hearts, while Han Chenfei had always taken care of them well. The three had even become sworn sisters during their time at the iceberg. Hence, the relationship between them had advanced to the next level. Thus, this declaration the sisters made was merely for the sake of severing their past relationship with Xiang Shaoyun.
Han Chenfei understood how they were feeling and said, "You don't have to say all those words out of anger. Since we became sworn sisters, I have stopped looking at you two as subordinates. We are sisters. I don't mind you following me, but you also need to think of your future happiness. Xiang Shaoyun might reject you now, but he might not reject you forever. You don't need to be so disheartened."
Han Xuewei raised her head and said, "Big sister, do you think there is still hope? He has rejected us cleanly. He has no feelings for us."
"Silly girl, he has only rejected you two because you have yet to display your brilliance. You have always talked about him saving you multiple times, right? That can only prove that he still views you favorably. Otherwise, why bother? But that is also why the two of you seem too weak. Regular women are not worthy of an outstanding man like him. Have you not noticed that he doesn't give a hoot about me either?" Han Chenfei said.
"Is that so?" Han Qianwei asked.
"Of course. See, Xiang Shaoyun's goal is Yu Caidie. You should be well aware of that. Furthermore, Yu Caidie seems to harbor some feelings for him as well. An outstanding man like him will find someone worthy of him as a lover. How big do you think the gap between you two and Yu Caidie is?"
Their expressions dimmed at the question. Yu Caidie was the goddess of all the men in the academy. She was flawless, someone few people were worthy of, a lover all men dreamed of having. Comparing the sisters to her was akin to comparing ugly ducklings to a swan. One was on the ground, the other was up in the sky. They were as different as the sky and earth.
Only a man like Xiang Shaoyun was worthy of a woman like Yu Caidie. How were they supposed to compete with her?
"There is no need to be disheartened. Your Icefrost Physiques have formed. You just need to work hard in cultivation. Even if you can't surpass them, you can catch up to them. At that time, Xiang Shaoyun will definitely look at you two in a new light," said Han Chenfei.
"Big sister is right. We need to work hard!" said Han Xuewei, her hope reignited.
Han Qianwei sighed, "Big sister, you are so kind to us. We will do all we can for your cause in the future."
"Alright, don't talk about that anymore. Inform the others to gather here and prepare for the trip to the Gleamstar Blessed Land," said Han Chenfei.
"Yes, big sister," the two answered.
...
A powerful aura surged out from the residence of a certain previous generation elder. The phantom of a roaring dragon appeared, looking incredibly lifelike. This was a draconic aura that had condensed by 55 percent. Thus, its owner was evidently a mid fifth-stage Dragon Ascension Realm expert.
Of course, within the Dragon Phoenix Academy, an aura like this was not anything special, but the person stepping out of the cultivation room was actually a young man. He was the person leaking the draconic aura. His age made this inconceivable.
The young man was none other than Di Lin, the leader of the Di Alliance. Who would have expected that he would charge straight to fifth-stage Dragon Ascension Realm from ninth-stage King Realm in only two years? It was a speed that could shock many people.
A gorgeously dressed beauty appeared beside him and smiled. "Junior brother, your improvement is really rapid. Worthy of being the holder of a high-grade eight-star physique."
"Senior sister, you jest. Just this much is probably not enough to make my master happy," said Di Lin with a smile.
He might be speaking humbly, but the joyful smile on his face betrayed his true feelings. Back at the Ziling Sect, he was known as the number one genius. However, even then, his speed of advancement wasn't this fast.
His growth was all thanks to his master's effort at nurturing him. The beauty before him was his master's granddaughter, Situ Yan. She was a mid fourth-stage Dragon Ascension Realm cultivator.
"Junior brother, you're still so young, yet you have surpassed me. What is there for grandfather to be unhappy about?" said Situ Yan tenderly. "Oh, right, I have something important to tell you. Your...your elder brother Di Shang...he...he was killed by Xiang Shaoyun!"
Di Lin's expression shifted greatly as he asked, "Is that true?"
Situ Yan nodded solemnly. "Yes. Back then, Sister Yunxi was by your elder brother's side, but she failed to avenge him and had instead retreated from the volcano controlled by the Di Alliance with the other members. As a result, the Overlord Legion was able to occupy the volcano. Looks like Sister Yunxi still can't forget her feelings for him."
Since Situ Yan liked Di Lin, she naturally wouldn't mind speaking ill of Xia Yunxi before him.
"Xiang Shaoyun's audacity, I won't rest until I kill him!" Di Lin declared furiously.
"Don't worry, junior brother. I will help you with your revenge," said Situ Yan as she gave Di Lin a hug. "A good opportunity to kill Xiang Shaoyun has presented itself. I have a way to ensure he will never appear in the academy ever again."
"What plan do you have, senior sister? So long as I can kill Xiang Shaoyun, I will agree to any request!" promised Di Lin, agitated.
"In three days, the disciples will head out for the Gleamstar Blessed Land. There, only Emperors can enter. According to my investigation, the Overlord Legion will be participating as well. At that time, we can ensure that Xiang Shaoyun stays there forever!" said Situ Yan.
