The Han family's mansion is not just an ordinary mansion. As the place where a family was founded, the area of its mansion was quite large.

The whole mansion is composed of three parts: the front yard, the back yard, and the inner courtyard, and the front yard is generally a place for receiving guests and domestic servants and maids to eat, drink and live. The backyard is where the clansmen live.

As for the inner courtyard, it is the place where the elders and patriarchs of the family live, and it is also an important place in the entire family.

The account room, the herb storehouse, the armory, and the foundation of the family, the Sword Pavilion, are all built here, which can be said to be the most important thing, and there are clan guards patrolling the courtyard all day long, even if the side disciples of the clan cannot enter at all without permission.

At this time, Han Chen and the others had already walked through the backyard and entered the inner courtyard.

Walking in the meantime, Han Chen couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this inner courtyard was like a city within a city. Once again, a small mansion was built in the middle of the family, and its footprint was no smaller than the total area of the front and back yards. From time to time, you can see groups of five clan guards patrolling back and forth.

After a while, a huge attic appeared in the eyes of the two, looking at this huge and somewhat old attic, Han Chen exhaled lightly, and then walked forward with a slight increase in pace.

As he walked, Han Chen looked at it with a little curiosity. Although the attic is next to the surrounding houses, it seems to be very independent, covering a very large area, but the height is not high, and it is a little short compared to the surrounding buildings. If you look at it from the outside of the family, you can't see such a building here.

After getting closer, the image of the building becomes clearer, with stone-gray beams and columns, blue-brown roof tiles, and tall cornices. It's heart-wrenching.

The overall color of the building is pale gray, which is not at all conspicuous compared to the surrounding houses. There is an iron plaque on the door, and there are two words of 'Sword Pavilion' in the book, and the iron painting silver hook, and the pen walks the dragon and snake. Although it is only two words, the domineering and arrogance in it are fully revealed.

There are four family disciples guarding the door, standing on both sides, beware of some family disciples from taking out the scrolls that record swordsmanship, combat skills, and exercises out of the Sword Pavilion without permission.

On the surface, it seemed that the guards were not very strict, but Han Chen, who had been reminded by Guiguzi, knew that there were four martial artists who had reached the sword master level hidden in the shadows around and guarding this place at the same time.

With such a strict guard, even if the strong of the sword rank want to break through, it is not so easy, and as long as it drags on for a while, the strong people in the clan will gather over, and at that time, the strong of the sword rank will also have to avoid the edge for the time being. It is not for nothing that the family is guarded here. Although the level of sword skills, combat skills, and exercises hidden in the Sword Pavilion is not high, there are quite a few of them, which is suitable for the family disciples below the sword guard level in the family to lay the foundation for cultivation. Therefore, the Sword Pavilion that contains these low-level sword skills, combat skills, and exercises is also particularly important.

What's more, it is rumored that there are a large number of Yellow Rank top-level exercises, and even the Sword Pavilion Cabinet of the Xuan Rank Scroll also contains them, so there is no reason for the family to be careless.

The guards at the door had already noticed Han Chen and the others when they were far away, and it wasn't until the two of them approached that they all set their eyes on the two of them, and of course they were very familiar with Han Ling'er and the four of them who walked in front and often entered and exited the Sword Pavilion.

It's just that when they saw Han Chen behind them, everyone seemed very unfamiliar.

A middle-aged man in his thirties, who was very stocky, seemed to be the captain of the four guards, and his brow was furrowed.

"The family is important, and idlers are not allowed to enter. When the two of them came to the Sword Pavilion and were about to enter it, the middle-aged man stepped forward and stopped Han Chen, who was about to step into the Sword Pavilion, and said in a deep voice.

"Waiting, waiting?" Hearing the middle-aged man's cold and hard words, Han Chen frowned, then looked at the middle-aged man and said slowly.

At this time, Han Chen's heart was also a little annoyed, he couldn't imagine that he, the second young master of the Han family, would be said to be an idle person by a clan guard.

The middle-aged man didn't pay attention to Han Chen's words at all, pressed his sword with his palm, and looked at Han Chen tightly with an expressionless face. It means that if you take a step further, you will immediately draw your sword.

"Brother Han Zhong, you have misunderstood, he is not an outsider! He is the second young master Han Chen!" Han Ling'er, who was walking in front, noticed that Han Chen had not followed, and when she turned around, she saw that Han Chen was stopped by Han Zhong who was guarding the door, and couldn't help but chuckle.

Even Han Ling'er almost didn't recognize Han Chen who had changed so much before, let alone Han Zhong, who might not have seen Han Chen once in several years.

"Second Young Master?" Han Zhong, who heard Han Linger's explanation, couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, he had also seen the son of the head of the family a few years ago, and the thin young man in his memory was completely different from the young man in white in front of him. I was about to ask again, but a voice came from my ear.

"Let him in!"

Hearing this voice, Han Zhong's heart sank.

Since those people in the Sword Pavilion had spoken, Han Zhong naturally wouldn't stop it, and immediately hugged his fists and apologized to Han Chen.

"Han Zhong has seen the second young master. Where the responsibilities of the subordinates are, I hope that the second son will not be strange!"

Han Zhong and his guards are all orphans, and they have been adopted by Han Tian since they were children and taught them cultivation techniques, so the Han family occupies a very large proportion in their hearts, and they are even more grateful to Han Tian. So although Han Chen can't cultivate, he is a waste. But Han Zhong and the others would not discriminate against them like other clansmen, but respected them very much, not only because Han Chen was Han Tian's son, but also because Han Chen did not have the bad habits of those young masters and young ladies.

"It is also your duty to protect the safety of the Sword Pavilion, and Brother Han Zhong doesn't have to mind. Han Chen, who was still slightly unhappy in his heart, was so able to afford to put it down before he met, right and wrong. A burst of good feelings suddenly appeared in his heart, this is a real man. I couldn't help but shake my head and said with a smile.

Hearing Han Chen say this, the eyes of Han Zhong and the other four guards fluctuated slightly, and there was a slight softness in the eyes that looked at Han Chen, just because Han Chen did not look above the top like the other young masters and young ladies in the family, treating them as watchdogs, but instead gave them something they had never felt - understanding and respect.

Ignoring Han Zhong, who had returned to guarding, Han Chen stepped into the Sword Pavilion.

"Hey, the little son of the head of the family doesn't seem to be so unbearable!" After Han Chen and the others entered the Sword Pavilion, a voice sounded from the depths of the Sword Pavilion.

"Well, listening to the people below, it seems that I haven't seen him much in more than two months, and there are indeed some doorways!" another voice said lightly.

"There's a good show to watch this time!" the voice from earlier rang out again.

Then there was silence

Entering it, what appeared in front of Han Chen's eyes was a huge space, the space was divided into three parts, and in the middle was a ring made of marble, on which the family disciples could learn from each other and confirm what they had learned.

On the left side of the ring, there are some seats, and there are fruits, cakes, tea, etc. on the table for people to rest.

The space on the right occupies half of the space of the entire Sword Pavilion, and rows of bookshelves are arranged vertically and horizontally, and the bookshelves are full of books and some scrolls, presumably those are the things that record sword skills, combat skills, and exercises.

At this time, there were two family disciples in the ring in the open space sparring with each other, and the battle between you and me was very fierce, but the strength of the two seemed to be about the same, and it was estimated that it would be difficult to distinguish the winner in a short period of time.

However, at this moment, one of them glanced at Han Chen and saw Han Chen and the others standing at the door, and was stunned for a moment, and the movements in his hands were also half a beat slower, and they were directly knocked out of the ring by another person with a punch.

The crowd watching the battle next to the ring also noticed the strange appearance of the man, and they all turned their eyes to the gate and landed on the two of them. But most people focused their eyes on Han Chen, who had just come in.

There is schadenfreude, sympathy, contempt, and irony in the eyes, which can be said to be all kinds of mentality.

Noticing everyone's strange gazes, Han Chen's heart sank, and his brows furrowed slightly. Remain silent and watch the situation change.

At the same time, a group of teenagers who were sitting on chairs in the left area, drinking tea and eating pastries, chatting in a low voice, also looked at the girl, and when they saw the girl in the sky blue dress, their eyes were full of heat.

At will, everyone's eyes shifted and landed on the white-clothed young man behind the girl, and everyone's eyes couldn't help but turn cold. Get up and walk slowly towards the door.

Han Hu and Han Ning were among them, but they were not in front, the two of them and the other teenagers walked behind, looking at Han Chen's figure full of schadenfreude.

Among the teenagers who walked over from the left area, a handsome young man who was also wearing a white robe like Han Chen was surrounded by everyone in front.

He said loudly to Han Ling'er, who was standing quietly beside Han Chen, "I didn't expect to be able to meet Cousin Ling'er here today, it's really gratifying." I heard that Cousin Ling'er recently broke through to the Nine-Star Sword Servant, and it really deserves to be the first day of my Han family, what a gratifying congratulations!"
