However, regarding that passage about the wise men's words, I believe it should be understood as follows..." Clearly, this was the voice of the eldest son, fully engaged in conversation with the guest. Upon hearing this, the elder's expression grew slightly somber, and his eyes flickered with a sense of unease. Yet after a moment, he firmly resolved himself, and without hesitation, entered the hall. Han Li also stood up from his seat at that moment. Hearing the question, he could not help but smile. Without speaking, he reached into his sleeve with one hand and produced a half-section of jade pendant glowing with a bright white light, then offered it to Gan Chi. At the very moment he saw the jade pendant, Gan Chi's expression became deeply moved. He took it seriously, examined it carefully, and only then said with a look of sudden clarity, "So you are indeed the descendant of Mr. Han! Come with me to my study—I would like to ask you in detail about some matters concerning my late mother-in-law!" The elder firmly grasped Han Li's wrist, visibly excited, and immediately led him away from the hall toward his study. "Mother-in-law! Does the Gan family have a distant relative of this nature?" Gan Yu stood motionless in the hall, pondering, now somewhat confused. "Please join me, Mr. Han," as soon as they entered the study and carefully closed the door, Gan Chi suddenly changed his expression, bowing to Han Li with great courtesy. "Please rise." "You need not ask me in detail about my background. As long as you know that from today on, I am specifically assigned to be your point of contact, that will suffice," Han Li said calmly. Then, with a simple sweep of his sleeve, a wave of emerald light surged out, gently lifting the elder's body. "Yes, indeed! The former representative who handled communications between our family and the Gan household vanished ten years ago, and I had been worried something might have happened to him. Now with your arrival, this is truly the best possible development," Gan Chi said, his last lingering doubts completely dispelled, and spoke with even greater respect. "This visit to your family is merely incidental. In truth, I still have other matters to attend to. For that, your status and standing in the secular world will be of great assistance," Han Li nodded satisfactorily, speaking with an tone that left no room for refusal.
