However, Ren Yao directly explained it to them. "You guys don't need to worry, Han Shuo is Old Tian's brother, so he will never harm Little Qilian."
"Han Shuo?" Tian Qilian and He Shiyun didn't recognize him, for Xia Tian had never told them about him.
Han Shuo turned to the three women but raised his eyebrows upon seeing Tian Qilian and He Shiyun. "I didn't expect to have a Lightning Qilin as my sister-in-law and that Cloud Swallowing Crane is the same."
Even so, they weren't surprised to hear that Han Shuo could recognize their identities, especially after hearing that he was Xia Tian's old friend.
Han Shuo then took out a purple whip and threw it at Tian Qilian, which she immediately caught, and he then explained it to her. "Sister-in-law, since you are a Lightning Qilin, that whip is of great use to you, for it can amplify your lightning several times, and I named it the Purple Lightning God Whip. If you whip Old Yao with it now, he will surely be in great pain from your attacks."
"Fuck!" Ren Yao cursed after hearing that. "Hey, Old Han! Why are you being so mean to me?"
"Haha." Han Shuo laughed at that. "Since she is our sister-in-law, let her try her new weapon on you."
On the other hand, Tian Qilian stared pensively at the purple whip. Yet, she could feel a connection with it and channeled her purple lightning into the whip.
*Zap... Zap...*
Seeing Tian Qilian's purple lightning continuously flashing around, Ren Yao instantly disappeared from their sight, for he knew that the effect of Han Shuo's weapon was too terrifying, and he was afraid that she would whip him with it.
Those women were stunned for a moment and laughed out loud afterward. They didn't expect Ren Yao to run away like a frightened rabbit after seeing Tian Qilian's purple lightning.
Tian Qilian smiled with satisfaction at the whip and retracted her purple lightning. She then bit her finger and dripped her blood on it, and the whip instantly disappeared into her body. "Thank-"
"No need to thank me." Han Shuo immediately interrupted Tian Qilian with a shake of his head.
"Master!" Qin Qing suddenly called out and hugged Han Shuo's arm, then she grunted with a pout of her lips. "You gave Little Qilian a bracelet and Tian Qilian a whip, but you didn't give me anything."
*Flick*
"Ouch!" Qin Qing screamed and rubbed her forhead.
Han Shuo then pointed at Qin Qing's forhead and scolded her. "I've given you a lot of valuable knowledge about blacksmithing, but you can't put all of it to good use, and you're still having trouble forging even a Heaven Grade Weapon."
"But-"
"No buts," Han Shuo shook his head at her. "I never gave any equipment to my other disciples, and they forged their own equipment, so I'll also treat you like them. If you want the best equipment, you have to forge everything yourself, understood?"
"Pft." Feng Xian'er couldn't help but laugh seeing Qin Qing scolded by her Master, especially since not many men dared to do that to her, except for Han Shuo and Xia Tian.
Qin Qing lowered her face and replied quietly. "I understand, Master."
Han Shuo couldn't help but shake his head at his youngest disciple, for she was too spoiled and didn't put enough effort into learning blacksmithing.
Han Shuo then asked the women. "So, which of you doesn't have a weapon yet?"
Zhu Yuhe and Zhou Xuan shook their heads at him, for Xia Tian and Qiao Xiao had already given them a sword and a pair of claws.
Zhu Yuhe then asked him. "Do you want to give us all a weapon?"
"Hahaha." Han Shuo laughed at that. "Sister-in-law, I am a blacksmith, and my best skill is forging weapons. Since all of you are my sister-in-law, I will provide weapons that suit each of you. That way, you can fight by my brother's side in the future, especially since a great responsibility awaits him in the Five Holy Lands."
Zhu Yuhe nodded in understanding but was also amazed to see Han Shuo, especially since he was so loyal to Xia Tian. "If I remember correctly, Tian has not given Xian'er, Yunzhi, and Shiyun a weapon."
"I see." Han Shuo nodded in understanding and asked Feng Xian'er. "What fields have you studied during this time?"
"I studied about formation arrays." Feng Xian'er answered awkwardly.
Han Shuo thought for some time before taking out a box and handing it to Feng Xian'er. "There are many things related to array formations inside, and a weapon that is extremely precious for a formation master, so you can learn everything yourself."
"Thank you." Feng Xian'er replied as she received the box.
Han Shuo then touched Feng Xian'er's forehead and transferred a few things. "Using them, you should be able to understand the immortal language easily, so it will be easier for you to master everything."
After that, Han Shuo looked at Yu Yunzhi. "You are also a swordsman, right?"
"Yes." Yu Yunzhi nodded.
"Unfortunately, your element doesn't mix well with swordsmanship, so I'll give you something else." After that, Han Shuo took out a golden staff and a book and gave them to Yu Yunzhi. "Although you have to start everything from scratch, that weapon and technique are more suitable for you, and you can fight more optimally by using them."
Yu Yunzhi received the two and nodded. "No problem. As long as I can become strong to accompany Tian, then it's fine for me to start over."
"That's good." Han Shuo smiled in satisfaction at Yu Yunzhi's answer, and he was delighted that Xia Tian had so many women who were genuinely loyal to him. He then threw a pair of shoes with wings on both sides at He Shiyun. "You might think those shoes are useless. However, since you are a Cloud Swallowing Crane, they will be handy to increase your speed; not even all immortals can chase you if you use them."
"Thank you." He Shiyun answered excitedly, and she immediately put on the shoes. "Huh? These shoes are light; I even feel like I'm not wearing anything."
"Haha." Han Shuo then said to her. "Go on, you can test the shoes' ability, but you must control your speed."
"Yes." He Shiyun then took a deep breath and moved forward, but she lost control of her speed, causing her to crash into the wall.
*Bam*
"Argh!" Shiyun instantly groaned in pain as she hit the wall so hard.
"Hahaha!" Han Shuo and the others burst out laughing, seeing He Shiyun like that; even Xia Qilian also continued to giggle. "I told you to control your speed, but you used almost all of your speed instead."
"Ugh!" He Shiyun grunted and patted her body to clean off the adhering dirt. "I've been trying to control my speed, but these shoes actually increase my speed."
Han Shuo laughed wryly at that. "Well, that's how those shoes work. So for now, you should learn to control your speed first, and you can only learn to move after you can fully control it."
"Yes." Shiyun nodded with a resigned sigh.
Suddenly, Han Shuo raised his eyebrows when he saw three women walking towards them; he then moved swiftly and stood before one of them. "Are you also one of my sisters-in-law?"
"Huh?" Bai Zhixian glanced at Han Shuo in confusion, she then glanced at the other women, and they only nodded at her. "Although I have not given myself to him, Tian is my husband."
"I see." Han Shuo nodded in understanding. "Do you want to be strong?"
"Eh?" Bai Zhixian was taken aback by his question, but she immediately nodded at him. "Yes, I naturally want to be strong; only then can I be useful to Tian."
"In that case, are you capable of experiencing extreme pain?" Han Shuo asked seriously, for Bai Zhixian was one of the weakest among Xia Tian's women, and the other was Xia Ning.
Suddenly, Bai Zhongying asked him. "What do you mean by that, Senior? What kind of pain did my second sister have to go through?"
"Oh?" Han Shuo turned to Bai Zhongying. "So you are my sister-in-law's eldest sister?"
"Yes." Bai Zhongying nodded to him. Although she didn't recognize Han Shuo, she knew that he was referring to Bai Yinyue.
"I see." Han Shuo nodded in understanding. "Your sword energy is excellent, but you haven't fully comprehended the sword dao, right?"
Bai Zhongying sighed heavily and helplessly nodded; she had shut herself in the room for several days but still couldn't understand Jian Wuqing's words.
"Don't worry; as long as you don't give up and get desperate, you will definitely be able to understand it one day. Back then, Old Tian was much weaker than you in swordsmanship, but his persistence made him the best swordsman, and Jian Wuqing was second. " Han Shuo then turned to Bai Zhixian again. "I have something to upgrade your spiritual roots grade, but the process will be excruciating. Can you bear it?"
Bai Zhixian was stunned when she heard that; even Bai Zhongying and Xiao Chen also reacted the same way, especially since this was the first time they heard that someone could upgrade other people's spiritual roots grade.
"Can you really do that for me?" Bai Zhixian expectantly asked, for she was the weakest among her sisters and didn't want to keep falling behind them.
