The news that Lord Han Mutian's family son was attacked by three masked adventurers quickly spread throughout Xishui City as if he had grown wings.

The nobles in the city were very sensitive to this kind of thing, and together they put pressure on the lord of Egmont, and the Baron of Egmont immediately ordered an investigation and issued a wanted notice.

At the same time, the bounty task released by Han Mutian through the Adventurer's Guild also caused a small sensation among the adventurers in Xishui City, and many adventurers took action to secretly chase and kill, hoping to win the bounty of one hundred and fifty gold coins.

And Han Fei, who caused this turmoil, stayed comfortably at home for a day, with several servants waiting by his side, and he enjoyed the happy life of a noble child - the Han family has a strict family education, and Han Fei definitely does not have such treatment in normal times.

But at night, he was called to the study by Han Mutian.

What surprised Han Fei a little was that in addition to Han Mutian, his two aunts, Carol and the old housekeeper Fili were all there, and the atmosphere in the study was a little solemn.

After Han Fei sat down, Han Mutian spoke: "Fei'er, you don't have to worry about what happened this morning, I will let Carol escort you when you go to the workshop in the future, and the wanted bounty will also be issued, then even if they can't be caught, they won't dare to appear in Xishui City again." ”

"I won't be afraid, father, you can rest assured!" Han Fei replied.

Han Fei really didn't care much about the three guys who attacked him in the morning, he had already decided to hurry up his practice and break through to the second heaven realm of the Xuanmen Life and Death Technique as soon as possible, and it would naturally be easy to deal with a few ordinary adventurers when the time came.

Seeing Han Fei's calm performance, Han Mutian nodded with satisfaction: "That's good, Fei'er, last time you failed to fight your pulse, it can be said that it was a big blow to you, but seeing that you still work hard and don't give up, this makes me very happy!"

"You're still years away from adulthood, but I think there's something you should know. ”

"What's the matter?" Han Fei asked curiously.

Han Mutian pondered for a moment and said, "What I want to tell you is about our Han family, and it also has a great relationship with your future. ”

Among the human races in the Nine Heavens Continent, the famous nobles and wealthy families of the Donghua clan are Su, Yu, Lei, Yun, Lan, Xia, Han, Ji, Teng, Ye, Duanmu and Dongfang.

These twelve wealthy families have all been inherited for thousands of years, among which the Su clan is the royal family of the Glowlight Empire, the Dongfang clan is the royal family of the Hanhai Empire, and the Lei clan, the Ji clan and the Ye clan also have royal status.

And no matter which wealthy family it is, all of them are huge and deep-rooted, and there are countless side branches.

The royal family of the Minglan Kingdom to which Xishui City belonged was the Su clan, and Yun, Han, and Xia were the other three major families in the kingdom.

"We are the collateral children of the Han family, and among the thousands of children in the family, we can only be regarded as slightly higher than the lowest level. Han Mutian said with emotion: "Even if it is such a status, it has been obtained by me with countless efforts and costs!"

"Then is Han Linhai the lowest level?" Han Fei immediately reacted and asked.

"Rude, your cousin's uncle's name is also what you can call?" Han Mutian glared at him and said.

"Then he also has to look like an elder, so that Fei'er can use the honorific title!" Kalena on the side was upset for Han Fei: "This Han Linhai can't wait for Fei'er to die, maybe those adventurers in the morning were sent by him!"

Being hit in public by his wife, Han Mutian couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, he coughed and said, "Don't speculate, you will be laughed at if you spread it!"

Although Kalena was not convinced, she kept her mouth shut, after all, Han Mutian was the head of the family, and no matter how strong she was, she had to take care of Han Mutian's face in front of others.

"Your cousin uncle is indeed the lowest level, that is, a son of the Han family without any title. Han Mutian continued: "But this doesn't mean that I will always be above him, because the title of lord I have now is given by the family, not only is it not hereditary, but it may be lost after a certain period of time." ”

The title that Han Mutian has is the family lord, which is very different from the hereditary kingdom title or imperial title, this title is only temporarily owned by him, and there are competitors.

This competitor is none other than Han Linhai, who is also in Xishui City.

The family title is resided, and it is assessed every ten years, depending on the strength and contribution to the family of both the owner and the competitor, and the person in charge of the assessment is selected by drawing lots from the family deacon elders, ensuring a fair surname in the assessment.

This once-in-a-decade assessment is definitely the most important top priority for a child of a low-level family like Han Mutian, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a matter of life and death.

Han Mutian has won this title in the competition with Han Linhai for more than ten years, and he doesn't know how much effort and effort he has put in to keep this title.

Of course, the family also gave corresponding feedback and support, the three hundred acres of fertile land and manor outside the city of the Han family were assigned to Han Mutian by the family, and without this title, Han Mutian would not have a place in the council of Xishui City.

This kind of assessment is not unique to the Han family, and all the Donghua Twelve Families and the Taixi Great Family almost all use the same method to assign middle and low-level family titles.

"In another three years, the once-in-a-decade assessment is coming again!" Han Mutian said: "Since losing to me again seven years ago, your cousin has been working hard, and so far as far as I know, his contribution to the family over the years is no less than mine. ”

"That's why I put my hope on you, if our family can produce a warrior and advance to the martial artist level, we will be able to enter the family martial arts hall to learn advanced fighting qi martial arts, and greatly increase the weight of our family in the assessment!"

After listening to Han Mutian's words, Han Fei finally understood why Han Mutian had told him before that becoming a warrior was very important to himself and his family, and the reason was here!

After thinking about it carefully, Han Fei admired the person who came up with this assessment system, no wonder the twelve families could be passed down for thousands of years, and this system was absolutely indispensable.

This is very similar to the competitive incentive system of modern enterprises, which weeds out the incompetent by relatively fair means, and maintains a vigorous vitality by absorbing the dedication and talent of a large number of collateral families.

If the Han family is a big tree that stands up to the sky, then the side descendants like Han Mutian are the branches and leaves and roots, which continuously provide nutrients for the trunk, and in turn, the trunk also provides a living space for the branches and leaves, and they depend on each other.

"I'm not telling you this to put pressure on you..."Han Mutian said: "I just hope that from now on you can shoulder the responsibility of being the eldest son and become a real man!"

"I will definitely live up to your expectations!" replied Han Fei without hesitation.

Hearing his answer, everyone in the study smiled knowingly, because they were all part of this family, sharing honor and disgrace!
