"Those who disobey orders will be killed!"
"Slave, you obey!"
Upon hearing her master's command, the maid immediately bowed respectfully, then turned and left to relay the order to the steward.
Inside the pavilion,
Holding his sleeping little sister in his arms, Han Feng carefully reached out a hand and took out a piece of silk from his bosom. He began to focus on studying and memorizing the secrets of the Xuanbing Technique recorded on it.
Late at night.
Han Feng personally fed his infant sister a bowl of carefully prepared warm rice porridge. After she fell asleep peacefully in his bedroom, he then began to eat his dinner alone...
At the large dining table, he was the only one there.
Despite the abundance and aroma of the delicious dishes on the table.
But as he chewed, it was like chewing sawdust; the deep loneliness and sorrow in his heart never dissipated.
The painful experience from a few days ago is still vivid in my mind, as if it were happening again yesterday.
He hurriedly ate a few mouthfuls of food.
He waved for the maids to clear away the leftovers, then sat alone on the edge of the bed, gazing at the bright, clear moon outside the window, lost in deep thought. His gaze lingered there for a long time, until his vision became blurry.
In a trance,
He seemed to see his parents' figures and faces appearing and disappearing in the bright moonlight.

"Father, mother!"
Before I knew it, my eyes were getting wet.
A faint tear slid down his cheek, but he quickly wiped it away. Turning his head, he saw his young sister sleeping peacefully in her cradle.
That round, adorable baby face radiated an aura of pure innocence.
"Still young, yet already facing abandonment by fate."
Han Feng moved his fingers swiftly, gently stroking his sister's soft cheek skin.
224. Wei Wuzu's unusual movements
Everywhere your fingertips touch is delicate, warm, and full of elasticity.
This subtle touch made Xiaoyunji unconsciously pout her pink lips in her sleep.
She subconsciously reached out her slender, soft hand, her fingers slightly curled, and tightly grasped the fingers that were gently stroking her cheek before sweetly drifting off to sleep again.
"Father, Mother, rest assured, I will raise Yunji to adulthood and protect her safety."
I could feel the warmth and strength emanating from my sister's tightly gripped index finger.
A faint smile flickered across Han Feng's resolute and cold face, and the depression and sorrow in his heart dissipated in an instant.
"Sometimes, ignorance and lack of knowledge can be a blessing in disguise."
Quickly calm yourself down.
Han Feng began to deeply consider his future plans. The trend of Qin unifying the Central Plains was becoming increasingly evident.
Other vassal states were no longer able to stop its advance.
"If I remember the course of history correctly, there are at least twenty more years from now until the Qin Dynasty unifies the world."
"There's no need to worry about this too much for now."
"The most important thing right now is the turmoil within the Baiyue region and our arch-enemy, the State of Chu, which borders us."
After careful consideration,
Han Feng decided to take his younger sister and leave the Baiyue region, away from the threat of the Chu Kingdom.
Although staying here would still allow him to enjoy the many privileges that come with his status as a nobleman of the Yue Kingdom, it also meant that he and his sister could be drawn into the vortex of war at any time.
The risks are numerous and far outweigh the potential gains.
"Why does the name of that deposed Baiyue prince, Tianze, sound so familiar?" Han Feng sat beside his sister, frowning in deep thought.
More than eight years have passed since I was reincarnated.
Memories of past lives gradually fade in the mind, becoming difficult to recall clearly.
"Perhaps it's because the name of the deposed crown prince of Baiyue, Tianze, is quite prominent in history?" He scratched his head, not having a deep understanding of the history of the Warring States period.
But he still has an impression of the general trend of history.
"If we want to leave Baiyue and Chu, the neighboring states we can choose from are Qin, Qi, Han, and Wei." Han Feng closed his eyes and pondered, analyzing them one by one.
Based on a rough map of the seven kingdoms in his memory, he carefully considered suitable locations to settle down.
"The Qin state implemented a strict system of identity verification and personal household registration. I could not live out my life in the deep mountains and forests with my one-year-old sister."
"This option can be removed."
"South Korea is currently the weakest of the seven countries, and its domestic instability is not conducive to my sister's growth, so it is also ruled out."
"As for the State of Qi, Confucianism has taken deep root in the local people and has had a profound influence."
“But let’s forget about Confucianism.” Han Feng recalled the problems with Confucianism and resolutely ruled it out: “I don’t want my sister to be bound by Confucianism when she grows up and become a Confucian scholar who spouts clichés.”
"On the surface, there seem to be many choices, but in reality, the circumstances force me to have no other choice."
He had already set his sights on his next destination—the State of Wei.
Historical memories of the State of Wei slowly surfaced in his mind.
"The once mighty Wei Wu soldiers, though not as glorious as they once were, still exist."
"With the Wei Wuzu, the most elite troops in the land, Wei's social order was relatively stable and safe. Moreover, Wei's identity verification was much more lenient than Qin's."
Despite deciding to seek refuge in the State of Wei, escaping the conflict between the Baiyue and the State of Chu,
But Han Feng will not set off immediately.
225. The Art of Forging Life-Generating Weapons?
The primary reason is that her younger sister, Yunji, is still very young, only one year old, and the variety of food she can eat is extremely limited.
If a one-year-old infant ingests unsuitable food, it could very likely lead to illness.
Illness, on the other hand, can lead to the risk of premature death.
"Unnecessary life-or-death risks should be avoided as much as possible unless absolutely necessary." Han Feng temporarily put aside his idea of leaving Baiyue, intending to wait until his younger sister was a little older.
Once she's old enough to eat grilled meat normally, he won't have to worry about her diet during the trip.
I pondered this over and over again for a long time.
As night fell, Han Feng took off his coat and went to sleep beside Yun Ji.
One night three months later,
In the back garden of the mansion.
Han Feng tried to support his younger sister Yun Ji's petite body with his hands so that she could chase after the butterflies fluttering in the air.
The little girl stretched out her two delicate, white hands and waved them happily, her face full of innocent and carefree smiles.
After these three months of being together day and night,
The little girl Yunji has completely accepted Han Feng and no longer cries and fusses for her mother's embrace all day long.
She was unusually dependent on her older brother.
"The situation in Baiyue has become increasingly unpredictable in recent months." Han Feng thought to himself as he played with his sister: "I have recently heard some rumors that a large number of Chu and Han troops have been spotted on the Baiyue border."
"I don't know if these rumors are true or false."
"If that's true, then I must prepare the supplies needed for my escape in advance. The Baiyue are no match for the Chu army now, let alone the presence of the Han army."
“Once war breaks out, the Baiyue will surely be defeated.”
Thinking of this,
Han Feng immediately summoned the butler and whispered the instructions in his ear, making meticulous arrangements.
The next morning, after Han Feng had finished feeding his sister breakfast, he handed her over to his personal maid for care.
Then, he took out the Furnace of Life and Death, placed it steadily between his palms, closed his eyes, and used his inner energy to communicate with the Furnace of Life and Death, carefully comprehending and exploring it in depth.
It is unknown whether the [Life Weapon Smelting Technique] within this Yang Furnace can autonomously determine the type of life weapon produced after smelting.
If I were to melt down any material, the resulting weapon might not be what I need.
Just like the Fire Spirit Thorn forged in its first attempt, it was not only unsuitable for my use, but also wasted a large amount of core energy.
Han Feng calmed his mind and focused his thoughts on the Furnace of Life and Death, exploring step by step and gradually entering a better state.
After years of dedicated study, he has gradually come to understand...
The driving force of the Furnace of Life and Death was not, as he initially speculated, based on the depletion of luck, but rather on a more profound and unpredictable force.
