Chapter 305: Shock

Volume Three and Volume Four of *A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality*: The Winds Rise Overseas

The Mengshan Five were greatly surprised by Han Li's decision but felt his reasoning was sound, so they didn't object.

However, the middle-aged woman seemed curious and asked about the true identities of the two Blackfiend Sect members. Han Li, however, subtly deflected her question. He merely smiled faintly and said they would naturally find out when the operation began that night.

This made the middle-aged woman unable to press further, and she showed an indifferent expression.

Shortly after, Qin Ping returned with Qin Yan's message and led the Mengshan Five to another nearby courtyard to settle them.

As Han Li watched them depart, a peculiar look appeared in his eyes. He suddenly mumbled something, but no one could hear what he said clearly.

After dinner that evening, the Mengshan Five gathered in the living room of Qingyin Courtyard, preparing to act when the late hour Han Li mentioned arrived.

"Strange! Why can't I remember it?" The thirty-something-year-old fourth brother paced back and forth in the hall, shaking his head, a bewildered look on his face.

"Fourth Brother! Still haven't remembered?"

The youngest sister, a young woman, sat idly in a chair, a half-smile playing on her lips.

"Fourth Brother, you keep saying Senior Han looks familiar, that you must have met him before somewhere. But then you can't remember when or where, which makes it hard for me to believe. Could it be that you just want to associate with Senior Han and it's a delusion?"

Evidently, the young woman's words were full of teasing.

"Hmm, that's very possible. After all, this senior's appearance is quite ordinary. It's perfectly normal for Fourth Brother to find him familiar!" The tall, thin second brother also remarked jokingly while sipping fragrant tea.

However, his eyes never left the middle-aged woman beside him for a moment. He kept glancing back and forth between her still-attractive face and what appeared to be her normal abdomen, a look of bliss on his face.

But the third-ranked middle-aged woman was annoyed by his gaze and couldn't help but glare at him several times. All she got in return was his silly "hehe" grin; his usual shrewd and composed demeanor had long since vanished.

"Hmph, say whatever you want. I'm certain I've seen him; it's just not a recent event. It must have been some years ago, otherwise, I wouldn't have forgotten so completely," the young man said with a hint of resentment, glaring at the young woman and the tall, thin man.

"Some years ago? Fourth Brother, we've been cultivating in seclusion on Mengshan for years and never left the mountain. So how could you have met Senior Han? Could it be when you were still in split pants?" The middle-aged woman also laughed as she teased the young man.

"Third Sister, you..." The young man's face turned red with embarrassment from the middle-aged woman's words.

"A few years ago, Fourth Brother wasn't always cultivating in the mountains. Have you forgotten that before we met Fifth Sister, we participated in an event..."
