Chapter 4: Han Family's Fool Duo & Secrets~
Soon, they arrived near the last row of seats and made a small run towards Han Yu.
"Eldest Cousin! We have made it to the first batch, so you must promise that you won't call us fool duo anymore!" Han Bing'er said to Han Yu as she rushed towards him and said while placing her left hand on her hip.
"Greetings, Eldest Cousin... Greetings Senior Feng." Han Lei greeted Han Yu and Feng Fu politely.
Unlike his sister, who has only eldest cousin Han Yu in her mind, Han Lei has much more the bearing of a big family.
Han Yu and Feng Fu nodded in response, as Feng Fu even praised Han Lei while disparaging Han Bing'er; "Brother Yu, see Han Lei is young but he's so careful with his etiquette. On the other hand, our tomboy lady has no manner of greeting their seniors...humph!"
"What do you mean oldie Feng Fu! I'm here to see the Elder Cousin, not you, so why would I greet you? Let alone if I greet you, wouldn't people think that I have lost my senses and are greeting a monkey clown?"
In response to Feng Fu's taunt, Han Bing'er fiercely counterattacked.
"Uggh..!" Whereas Feng Fu felt as if he had eaten something unpalatable, his whole face became blue and white.
The other older youths who were sitting around could not help but chuckle as well. In their heart, they only had a word to say to this fierce young lady 'Served him right!'
Han Yu and Han Lei, who were watching this drama from the sidelines, didn't want to continue to listen to their bickering.
In the end, Han Yu had to end their curse war; "Bing'er stop it now, Feng Fu is your senior, don't be rude, and Feng Fu you are a full-fledged man, why are you bickering with this young lass."
"We are not!"
"We are not!"
Both of them denied the very next second Han Yu spoke, even though their words were the same.
In truth, it's not something new, every time Feng Fu visits Han Yu, coincidentally most of the time he visits Han Yu whenever Han Bing'er and Han Lei are around him, so in the end Feng Fu forcefully pulls Han Yu leaving both of them no one to play with.
Thus, as time progressed, Han Bing'er began to dislike the so-called Senior Feng Fu and from that time their bickering started.
Although both of them denied that they were causing a ruckus, after sweeping their gaze around, they found out that many people were looking towards them in intrigue.
Thus, both of them gave each other a last glare and shifted their gaze.
"Eldest Cousin, you have promised me if I get good results in awakening trial and able to awaken during my first trial, you'll prepare a gift for me...now that I can even use the awakening potion, there is almost a guarantee I'll be able to awaken, so make sure to prepare my gift!" Han Bing'er held Han Yu's hand and began to shake his hand left and right as she was speaking excitedly.
"Eldest Cousin, me too! Don't forget me, like you always do!" Han Lei, who was quiet for some time, also hastily added a line.
It was rare for him to speak in such a rushed tone, but it couldn't be helped, after all in the entire Han Family other than the older generation, there is only Han Yu who has the most say in the family.
Thus, when last year Han Yu promised them that he'd prepare a gift for them if they were able to awaken on their first trial, they started to work hard day and night.
As for why they care so much about gifts from Han Yu, first of all, every younger generation in the Han Family thinks of Han Yu as their primary goal for their future and respects him as the Eldest Young Master.
Many outsiders think that Han Yu is unable to awaken, so he is not a great genius anymore, but the truth is the opposite, at least in the Han Family, Han Yu has a dominant position.
As for why, it's only because, even if Han Yu is not a talent in terms of being awakened, but his talent in family management, Imperial Spirit's scientific research, and his comprehension of martial arts is still at the top board in the Han Family, no it would be better to say in entire Yangwu.
So, for the younger generation of the Han Family, it's a great deal to get something from Han Yu.
Another reason is that the older generation of the Han Family has strict standards for younger generations and they won't allow them to squander money and the Han Family's name as they please, rather they make sure that their younger generation's pocket money should only be as much as that of an ordinary civilian's child.
As for using the Han Family's name to cause trouble in Yangwu, then sorry you'll be beaten to half death and even receive severe punishment.
The Han family has a strict routine check for the cultural and moral character of their younger generation.
Thus the Han Family, which is a newly developed big family of Yangwu, is called the elite of Yangwu.
Han Bing'er and Han Lei have been eager for the reward Han Yu promised them for a whole year, although it's said that the awakening depends on the luck of a person, and for many Han Yu is a living example, but it couldn't be the complete truth.
The thing is, if a person has a standard apprentice warrior physique and his mental spirit is also strong enough, then it would increase the chance of awakening by at least 30%, while if that person on top of that able to use an awakening potion, their rough chances of awakening increases by at least 70% in total and it's a big deal.
Generally, if the awakening chances are above 60% then in most cases even if a person won't awaken as an Imperial Spirit Master, he still has a very high chance to become a Spirit Warrior.
Meanwhile, a standard apprentice warrior physique is a must if you want to awaken, there are also divisions in apprentice warrior physiques, from lowest apprentice warrior physique initial stage, intermediate stage, late stage, and peak of apprentice warrior physique.
With the careful upbringing of the Han Family and even with special training from Han Yu, their physique is almost equivalent to the late-stage apprentice warrior physique.
This was the reason why Han Bing'er and Han Lei were sure that their awakening process would go smoothly.
If they can interfere with these details, no wonder Han Yu can think in this way as well.
Actually, what they don't know is, that Han Yu has been paying special attention to them for almost a year.
After all, in the Han Family, there are not many young ones who are at the age of awakening, and in recent years only Han Bing'er and Han Lei who reached this step.
In order to make sure that they would be able to awaken without accident, Han Yu had secretly added Spirit Embryonic Jade Dew to their medicinal soup.
Spirit Embryonic Jade Dew is something he refined using many precious herbs and alchemical materials.
Consuming this special dew can not only strengthen the body and spirit of a person, but it can even wash out impurities and increase the innate talent of a person.
As for how many benefits a person can get, it depends on their luck and how much they can absorb the medicinal properties of this refined dew.
Not only them, but even Han Yu has been using this for himself and occasionally mixes these jade dews into medical soup and gives it to Feng Fu to drink as well.
The only drawback is, that these jade dews work with time and you need to take them on a long run to get the best effect.
As Han Bing'er, Han Lei, Feng Fu and he himself take these Jade Dews, their effect is already saturated. So all they have to do is to wait until awakening and it would automatically take effect and they'll reap benefits.
But because these are his secrets, he never told anyone and even tried to hide them from his family.
It would be bad to say that he is hiding intentionally, rather he is waiting for the right moment to put a light on his secrets.
He would never let anyone know his core secret, but if he and the Han family want to develop in the future, he would need to put some cards from his hand on the table.
And the best card to play now is that he is willing to reveal his talent in Alchemy.
But to lay this card open, he needed a catalyst, which would be the awakening trial, and especially a unique one.
While having his thoughts run wild, Han Yu smiled slightly and said to the brother and sister duo; "I've already prepared a gift for you, no matter what result you'll get, accept it with confidence, even if it's a bad one. Anyways your gift won't run away but your heart must be stable, understood?"
"Thank you Elder Cousin! Don't worry we'll do our best!" Han Lei and Han Bing'er looked at each other and said with a brilliant smile.
From their face no worries or hesitation could be seen, they seemed to be confident, yet there was no hint of arrogance reflected from their youthful faces.
The Han family is indeed built differently, and it's indeed thanks to Han Yu because the clansmen of the Han Family know that, you might be ordinary but you are never a waste.
