Lying down next to his sister, he put his right arm behind his head, closed his eyes, and pondered the purple-haired girl's suggestion.
Meanwhile, more questions lingered in his mind:
"Why do my memories of that sword feel familiar?"
"Logically speaking, I shouldn't have any impression of them at all. And that purple-haired girl, she also gives me a strange sense of familiarity."
"She just looks much younger than the person I remember."
The next day, as dawn broke.
Han Feng woke up, did his and his sister's makeup, and then had breakfast.
Until now.
The stunningly beautiful woman with flowing black hair and a trailing purple dress walked leisurely to him and chatted with him.
"Young man, did you rest well last night?"
"It's very comfortable. Compared to living in the jungle, here we don't need to be constantly alert to our surroundings, nor do we have to worry about the cold and damp nights causing my little sister to catch a cold and get sick."

As they talked, Han Feng stretched and yawned.
As Yun Ji lay on the wooden couch, her round, rosy face revealed an innocent, childlike smile, as if she were secretly pleased with herself.
Upon hearing Han Feng's words, Zi Nu smiled faintly and asked first, "Young man, have you given this suggestion I made last night much thought?"
.... ....... .......
Getting to the point.
Han Feng's expression was solemn. He slightly raised his head and looked at the purple-clad beauty who was taller than him.
He silently prepared the words he was about to say, and then slowly said, "First of all, I am grateful for your hospitality."
"However, South Korea is still weak, and in my opinion, this matter seems inappropriate."
“I intend to take my younger sister to the State of Wei to test her abilities. If the land of Wei is not conducive to my younger sister’s growth, then I will take her back to the State of Han and seek your advice.”
"Oh dear, what a pity! I was overjoyed about it all night." Zi Nu feigned sorrow, her eyes sparkling with even more charm.
Although I did not get the answer I was most looking forward to,
But this answer secretly pleased her; at least she wasn't directly rejected and still had a chance to bring him under her wing.
248. The Swordsmen of Chu Attack
Han Feng pretended not to know what Zi Nu was saying.
Pretend to be clueless.
"Hey hey hey!"
Seeing this, Zi Nu stopped asking questions.
She simply responded with a gentle smile to Han Feng.
“If Wei finds itself in a precarious situation, young man, you may come and seek refuge with me at any time.”
"Then you must leave a definite contact method or address, sister. South Korea is a big country with many resources. Without specific directions, how am I supposed to find you?"
Han Feng smiled and quickly changed his address to "sister," revealing the excitement of an ordinary young man being courted.
He deeply concealed his mature wisdom and true personality.
A childlike demeanor is most likely to make people lower their guard.
He wanted to use this opportunity to see how sincere the woman in purple was, and how much she intended to use him.
At only thirteen years old, Zi Nu lacked the keen insight and deep cunning to grasp this. Upon hearing Han Feng's words, she immediately broke into a joyful smile.
"After I finish dealing with things here, I will go to Xinzheng, the capital of Korea, to open a building. The name has been decided: Ziyu Building."
"At that time, you may bring your sister to find me."
The subtle changes in her eyes did not escape Han Feng's keen observation.
This made Han Feng start to consider things.
“Alright, I have memorized the address.” Han Feng nodded and confirmed, “If the situation in Wei is not suitable for my younger sister, I will definitely return to Han and seek refuge with you, my elder sister.”
This address filled Zi Nu with joy, and her face lit up with a radiant smile.
She immediately and enthusiastically gave the order:
"Go quickly and prepare some dry food, water, and gold leaves for the young man's travel expenses. Once you arrive in Wei, exchange them for the cloth-headed coins that are in circulation there."
After a moment's thought,
Zi Nu added, "Also, bring some ant-nose coins from the Chu Kingdom. The young man might need them when he passes through Chu."
"In addition, the clothing of a Chu swordsman is included, after all, the young man is a Baiyue person."
Soon after,
Two young women approached, one of them carrying a package filled with dry food and water for their journey.
The other person was carrying a money bag and the clothes of the Chu swordsman.
Han Feng thanked him and accepted the gift.
He shed his Baiyue attire and disguised himself as a wandering Chu swordsman.
Food was stored in a bamboo box behind him, and money was hidden inside his clothes close to his body.
Holding the white horse by the hand with his left and gripping the hilt of the Devouring Prison Sword tightly with his right, Han Feng stepped out of the courtyard gate, turned around, and bowed to Zi Nu and her entourage who had come to see him off, offering their thanks.
"Dear sisters, I must take my leave now."
"The road ahead is long, there's no need to see me off. Perhaps we'll meet again soon and work together on great things."
"Be careful on the road. The Chu army has been making unusual moves recently. As a Baiyue person, you must not easily reveal your identity." Zi Nu stepped forward and earnestly advised Han Feng.
He feared that his promising subordinate might encounter misfortune on his way to the State of Wei.
"Don't worry, sister, I am now a swordsman of Chu," Han Feng replied fluently in the Chu language.
Zi Nu smiled and replied in the same Chu language, "That would be best. I will wait for your arrival here."
Han Feng mounted his horse.
He waved goodbye, then whipped his horse and galloped away.
It wasn't until Han 5.2 Feng's figure disappeared that a beautiful young woman beside Zi Nu suddenly realized what was happening and exclaimed in surprise.
"Sister, it seems you haven't told him your name yet?"
Upon hearing this, Zi Nu's pretty face showed a slight embarrassment.
I realized I had overlooked such important information.
"It's alright, I've already given him our future contact information; he'll definitely be able to find me."
249. The terrifying Crimson Flame Sword
“But…” the beautiful girl hesitated for a moment, then reminded her, “But right now, sister has not yet arrived in Xinzheng, Korea, and there is no Ziyu Tower there yet.”
"Moreover, if the journey from Wei to Han goes smoothly, it only takes a little over a month."
At this point, she found herself unable to continue.
Because she noticed that her sister in purple's face had turned slightly dark.
These details have clearly been overlooked.
The horse galloped away, kicking up dust behind it.
Han Feng reached into his robes, pulled out a bulging money pouch, and weighed it lightly. A cunning and wisdom beyond his years appeared on his youthful face.
"Disguising himself as a child is truly a brilliant move, making it hard for anyone to suspect anything."
10 “He even unexpectedly took advantage of that beauty in purple.”
"Tsk, tsk, tsk!"
Suddenly, Han Feng remembered something.
He couldn't help but frown slightly, lost in thought.
"By the way, what's her name again?"
Trying to recall for a moment,
He then realized that the other party had not given their name, whether they forgot to mention it or did so intentionally.
"Never mind. It doesn't matter."
"Anyway, I've already gotten the best deal, and the gains are already in my pocket."
On the way to the southern border of the Chu Kingdom,
Han Feng took out the money bag he had found from his pocket and examined it. Inside, there were not only several glittering gold leaves, but also a strange type of coin mixed in.
