In Zhao Han's memory, it had been just over a month.

He couldn't have remembered it wrong.

After all, it was he who had Lü Zhouyi help Wang Ye, allowing Wang Ye's strength to advance to the level of a Fourth Grade Martial Warrior.

But... even with such clear memories, Zhao Han was beginning to doubt whether there was something wrong with his memory, for how else could Wang Ye be preparing to advance towards the level of a Third Grade Martial Warrior so soon?

"That's right," Wang Ye nodded, and in order to prevent Zhao Han from questioning him due to incredulity in the future, Wang Ye simply said:

"It took me just over half a month to reach the peak of the Fourth Grade Martial Warrior, and next, I am going to strive towards becoming a Third Grade Martial Warrior."

Wang Ye's words let Zhao Han know that his memory had not made a mistake.

But his heart was still filled with immense shock.

Just a month and a half...

Just a mere month and a half...

And then Wang Ye would be advancing to the realm of a Third Grade Martial Warrior...

Then… just how prodigiously talented was this nephew of his?

"A genius! A true genius!"

A smile quickly covered Zhao Han's face, and on that usually impassive countenance, a hard-to-suppress joy now emerged. As he smiled, Zhao Han continued to repeat the words "true genius", and finally, he came to Wang Ye's side and gave him a firm pat on the shoulder, saying:

"Wang Ye, you truly are a genius!"

Zhao Han was very proud in his heart.

After all, this was his nephew.

Seeing such an excited and joyful expression on Zhao Han's face, Wang Ye also felt somewhat moved.

After all, at this point in time, Zhao Han was the only relative left with whom he could share the joy of his successes.

And before, he had even misunderstood Zhao Han, thinking of him as an enemy.

After a burst of joy, Zhao Han said to Wang Ye, "To advance to a Third Grade Martial Warrior, what plans do you have? I've heard that, to advance to a Third Grade Martial Warrior, one needs 'intent'."

"And 'intent' is a great difficulty that plagues Martial Warriors, many of whom are unable to grasp it throughout their entire lives."

Intent is very hard to comprehend!

Zhao Han, being one of the heads of the major families in Xijiang Province, and having access to the level of a Martial Warrior, was well aware of how difficult it was to comprehend 'intent'.

"I came here to ask you whether you have any plans recently."

"If you have plans or a strategy, then we can first work together on your plans concerning the other families. If you don't have any plans, then I'm afraid I will need to go out for at least a month, and during this time, I plan to comprehend 'intent'."

Wang Ye planned to do as his master had advised, to see the sea, climb a mountain, and fight with wild beasts in the primeval forest, to comprehend 'intent' from nature.

Moreover, for Wang Ye, doing so was indeed a new milestone in life and a special experience.

In the midst of tension, it was also a way to relax.

"Plan... I don't have much of a plan yet," Zhao Han pondered and eventually said to Wang Ye, "but if you feel that the pressure isn't enough, then in the coming time, I should be able to prepare some pressure for you."

"Pressure?"

Hearing Zhao Han's words, Wang Ye was momentarily taken aback, looking at Zhao Han with some confusion.

Zhao Han could bring pressure on him?

Unlikely, right?

What kind of pressure could Zhao Han bring on him?

After all, although Zhao Han was indeed the head of one of the five great families within the Xijiang Provincial Government, the crux of the issue was that Zhao Han wasn't particularly powerful.

"A few days ago, your skills with the sniper rifle were quite impressive," Zhao Han complimented, patting Wang Ye on the shoulder again.

Zhao Han's words made Wang Ye's figure stiffen.

He knew about the incident a few days ago!

Zhao Han knew!

That meant...

Naturally, Wang Ye didn't suspect Zhao Han; after all, if it really was Zhao Han who had arranged for the hit, then it would be foolish for Zhao Han to mention it now, at this moment.

So, Wang Ye quickly figured out what was going on.

He asked Zhao Han, "At that time, was it the other four major families of the Xijiang Provincial Government who made a move?"

"Yes," Zhao Han nodded. "At that time, the five of us family heads were discussing, and they intended to deploy five Fourth Grade Martial Warriors. Initially, I kept disagreeing and planned to find an excuse to refuse them, to stop them from carrying out the plan."

As Zhao Han spoke about this, there was a hint of lingering fear on his face, for, in his view, dispatching five Fourth Grade Martial Warriors at once was akin to sending Wang Ye to his doom.

"But no matter how I refused, they wouldn't listen. In the end, I didn't send anyone, but they pulled in an extra person. On my side, I also spent a hefty sum to hire a few people to protect you."

When Zhao Han reached this point, recalling the well-paid individuals who reported back to him, he slapped Wang Ye's shoulder and burst into laughter:

"However, the people I hired came back and told me that they were dumbfounded. Just when they were about to protect you, you grabbed a Barrett sniper rifle and took them out one by one, not even giving them a chance to provide support."

"They insisted on returning all the money, only hoping that you would teach them how to use a sniper rifle, but I refused."

Looking at the expressions on Zhao Han's face, up until now, Zhao Han remembered the events of that day, his expression still showed a bit of worry, but more than that, it was the joy in his heart from witnessing Wang Ye's formidable strength.

"No wonder..."

Wang Ye murmured, finally understanding who had sent those five Fourth Grade Martial Warriors to attack him.

So, it was the people from the other four major families of the Xijiang Province.

Considering the wealth of those other four major families in Xijiang Province, it was normal for them to be able to hire Fourth Grade Martial Warriors to risk their lives for them, in Wang Ye's view.

After all, in the eyes of those five Fourth Grade Martial Warriors, taking down one Fourth Grade Martial Warrior would not pose any problem at all.
