Qin Han immediately sat down on the sofa, picked up the teapot in front of him, poured a cup, and then brought it to his lips, forcing himself to remain calm and said, "Actually, the situation back then was really very special. I didn't lie to you."

"If I had recklessly revealed my identity to you, it could have brought disaster to the entire Holy Medicine Sect."

"Because the Eternal Life Hall Master doesn't believe I'm dead, so over the years, like Gong Yubo, he has been secretly searching for any traces of whether I still exist in this world."

"Moreover, in this reincarnated life, I'm burdened with even more responsibilities and duties."

"What I'm shouldering is not only the future of the brothers and sisters of the Holy Medicine Sect but also my own small family."

Upon hearing this, Hong Luan slightly frowned, as if a surge of anger rose in her heart.

Clearly, the words Qin Han spoke left her feeling unsatisfied.

Yet she felt that she couldn't take action against him with this submissive attitude of his.

Hong Luan's emotionally unstable nature is well-known among all the members of the Holy Medicine Sect.

So now, with no one else present, she was able to express the deepest words from her heart.

"Am I just a burden to you?" Hong Luan's icy voice sounded once more, "You know, for you, I am willing to perish together with the Eternal Life Hall Master."

Hearing this, Qin Han's heart skipped a beat, silently sighing that things were not going well.

During the previous time they spent together, when Song Yuwei was present, he was able to hide the surging emotions in his heart well.

Every time Hong Luan had doubts, he could effectively cover up the similarities between himself and the Sect Leader in her presence.

But now, facing an old acquaintance with his original identity, it was inevitably difficult to suppress those deeply engraved memories.

After all, Hong Luan's thoughts were different from other members of the Holy Medicine Sect, how could he not perceive her intentions?

"You're not a burden. I just don't want the Holy Medicine Sect to face this unknown powerful enemy before I have full confidence." Qin Han said with a calm expression.

"Is it because of Sister Song Yuwei?"

At this moment, Hong Luan looked exactly like an abandoned little wife, showing extremely aggrieved eyes, with tears swirling in her eyes.

The dissatisfaction, anger, and grievances within her heart were all exposed before the righteousness of the Holy Medicine Sect, like a deflated balloon unable to muster the strength to question further.

This time, Qin Han didn't speak, just sipped the slightly cool tea in silence.

Perhaps this way, his inner agitation would calm down.

Humans are not made of grass and trees, and when a woman is willing to wait for a supposedly deceased person for years, even remaining resolute and unyielding.

Any normal person would likely be softened and willing to accept and trust this karmic bond.

Even though Qin Han had deceived Hong Luan for a long time without revealing himself.

Yet she was still willing to go through hell and high water for him and fight to the death with the invincible Eternal Life Hall Master!

Of course, he was fully aware of Hong Luan's strength, and yet it still wouldn't be possible for her to challenge above her level, unless she detonated her Dantian at the cost of her life!

"You've kept me in the dark and suffered together with me!"

Hong Luan's words, though laced with a sense of powerlessness, still conveyed her inner complexity and unwillingness.

Qin Han was a bit at a loss, as he was now a famous figure in the world of medicine and martial arts.

He'd also regained the status of the Sect Leader of the Holy Medicine Sect.

He should have been proud and ambitious, conquering all directions.

But in matters of emotion, he seemed to be a novice with no solutions.

Mostly because Song Yuwei had accompanied him for many years, and the journey hadn't been easy.

Moreover, the actions of his previous body had brought terrifying impacts on Song Yuwei!

Originally, these misfortunes were completely left behind, but now can he act like this heartless man?

Qin Han awkwardly smiled and said, "Hong Luan, I've always considered you like a sister."

"So regardless of Song Yuwei's presence, you're actually part of my family, aren't you?"

"Furthermore, Diudiu likes you very much too, so you're now Diudiu's aunt as well."

"I know, whether in the past or now, your help and contribution to the Holy Medicine Sect have been enormous. It's something I've always kept in mind."

"Because of that, I actually thought through your future arrangements when revealing my identity this time. Including acknowledging your efforts over the years, you deserve a reward and a satisfactory answer."

Upon hearing this, Hong Luan did not show any joy but walked to Qin Han, a slight blush appeared on her cold face.

Especially after crying like a pear blossom in the rain, she appeared a touch more seductive.

Qin Han could smell a fragrance, just like that afternoon when he first met her.

He silently sighed that things weren't good and immediately started utilizing his mystical skills.

After experiencing the profoundness of techniques like Ten Thousand Swords Returning to Sect, One Sword Beauty, and Spirit Rhinoceros Finger, a power resonated in his Dantian suppressing the erosion of time marks.

Hong Luan suddenly said softly, "Reward? Do you know how many years have passed since you left the Holy Medicine Sect?"

"Do you know how much I've contributed to the entire sect? How many big and small matters I've resolved for you, how many rebellions I've suppressed."

"Moreover, I'm now a mid-stage Heavenly Realm expert, just a step away from reaching the late stage."

"So, my Qin Han Sect Leader, what kind of reward do you think can compensate for what I've lost over these years?"

"I've devoted most of my life to the Holy Medicine Sect, carrying your will to maintain and survive."

"So after hearing this, do you think your so-called reward is an irresponsible compensation or a way to sever ties with me?"

Hong Luan's words were indeed impactful, and the way she lowered herself to look straight into Qin Han's eyes, raised the atmosphere considerably.

"..." Qin Han didn't respond.

He suddenly recalled some words his mother Jiang Qing said after encountering Nangong Jirou.

As his influence and contacts increase, the people and things he faces would far exceed the current life.

Particularly, the allure of various temptations is self-evident.

This is why when Jiang Qing noticed Song Yuwei's emotional fluctuations, she would invite her for private conversations.

Qin Han was well-aware that Song Yuwei's position in his heart was irreplaceable.

If he couldn't fight against fate, he wouldn't be able to preserve the current mundane happiness.

Moreover, the mother and daughter lack martial power, compelling him sometimes to pause and defend this sense of security.

"There is no reward the Holy Medicine Sect can offer that resonates with me now. I don't need anything." Hong Luan looked directly into Qin Han's eyes and slowly expressed her thoughts, "But..."
