Han Meng was sitting in the main pavilion of the Heaven-Containing Prefecture. Beside him were two other people, both of whom were peak middle true gods.
They weren't True Gods of the Heaven-Containing Prefecture, but leaders of the Han Family's branches.
The Han Family's branches had many branches and leaves. Although they weren't as powerful as the other clans on the floating islands, they were still a first-tier clan. Whether it was the strength of their true gods or the number of their members, they were far superior to other second-tier and third-tier clans.
There were currently twenty-seven branches in the Han Family, led by twenty-seven branch leaders. These two were the leader of the ninth branch, Han Chen, and the leader of the twelfth branch, Han Yu. Han Zhen, who had just entered the Heaven-Containing Prefecture, was Han Chen's son.
"The news from Mirror City has already been confirmed. This Luo Tianxing's background is indeed suspicious," Han Chen said with a frown.
Ever since Luo Zheng had made a name for himself in Hanyue Tower, many factions had tried to investigate Luo Zheng's background. However, Luo Zheng had provided too little information. Even after many investigations, Luo Zheng's background was still a blank sheet of paper. There were no clues at all, so he could only be replaced by "mysterious youth" on the list.
However, during the Heaven-Containing Prefecture's examination, Luo Zheng had introduced himself, saying that he was from Meng Village in the Vast Sky Domain.
At that time, Han Jia had sent people to investigate Luo Zheng's background.
Han Jia's efficiency wasn't low. In just a few days, they'd found the Divine Citizens of Meng Village.
At first, the answers given by the people of Mengshan Village were exactly the same as what Luo Zheng had said. He was indeed from Mengshan Village, but after a thorough investigation, they quickly uncovered some of the truth, including the conflict between Mengshan Village and Sunmoon Village, and even the return of the Evil Old Man.
At the same time, they also found out that Luo Zheng wasn't from Meng Village. He'd appeared in Meng Village less than half a year ago, and the Divine Citizens of Meng Village also didn't know about Luo Zheng's background.
Thus, Luo Zheng's identity became very suspicious. After all, Luo Zheng was deliberately hiding his identity.
"I think so too!" Han Yu also nodded. "This kid deliberately hid his identity and infiltrated our Han Family. I'm afraid he's up to no good."
The factions in Divine Dominion all developed according to the family model. They paid a lot of attention to the background of the people they nurtured. Although Han Jia wanted to recruit more geniuses, they would also nurture outsiders, but the background of these people had to be thoroughly investigated.
Except for Luo Zheng, of the sixty-seven people who were accepted into the Heaven-containing Mansion, the backgrounds of the others were quite clear. Their ancestors could be traced back to several generations.
Luo Zheng had such a terrifying talent, but his background was like a blank piece of paper, which was indeed very dazzling.
"How could there be so many conspiracies?" Han Meng smiled. "Perhaps Luo Tianxing is a prodigy from one of the Floating Island's wealthy families?"
Hanmeng also didn't believe that Luo Zheng had been born from an ordinary god. It was simply impossible for such a character to be born from a small and remote mountain village. The Realm of the Gods had developed for so many years, and all the resources had been monopolized. Talent was also constantly passed down through the bloodline. For a poor family to produce a noble son had already become a legend.
"Are there still any Floating Island's wealthy families willing to be unruly? Even if he really is unruly, would the main family be willing to accept him? "Han Yu asked again.
Han Meng looked straight at Han Yu and smiled faintly. "Since the two of you have such thoughts, how do you propose we deal with Luo Tianxing? Expel him from the Heaven-containing Mansion? As long as the two of you and 'Han Daozhi' agree, I will not hesitate in the slightest! "
At this point, Han Yu and Han Chen didn't utter a word again …
"To put it bluntly, the two of you just want me, Han Meng, to take on this responsibility. You want to recommend Luo Tianxing to the main family, but you're also afraid of his background. If something happens in the future, you don't want to be implicated." Han Meng's eyes flashed. "Since that's the case, I, Han Meng, will take on this responsibility!"
Han Meng's words had indeed exposed Han Yu and Han Chen's worries.
If the Han Family still couldn't find a suitable candidate, the main family would most likely make a move. When that time came, the ones to suffer would be the twenty-seven branches of the Han Family.
Through the Heaven-containing Mansion's examination, they had indeed seen Luo Zheng's talent. This kind of person could no longer be measured by the standards of ordinary geniuses. Even among the wealthy families of the floating islands, there had never been such a heaven-defying cultivator who had proven divinity!
In their eyes, proving divinity cultivators were like small sprouts that had just sprouted out of the ground. Luo Zheng was a little too strong. Once he condensed a godhood in the future, wouldn't it be natural for him to be chosen as a disciple of the Sage Emperor?
"Brother Han Meng, you're treating us as outsiders. Our Han Family branches have always advanced and retreated together. How could we let brother Han Meng take on the responsibility alone?"
"Yes, we'll ask Luo Tianxing in detail later. Perhaps things aren't as bad as we think?"
The two of them said somewhat awkwardly.
At this time, a voice came from outside the main pavilion. "Luo Tianxing has been brought here!"
Han Meng nodded. "Let him in."
Before long, Luo Zheng walked in.
Han Meng smiled at Luo Zheng and said politely, "Tianxing, please sit here."
Luo Zheng nodded and sat on a chair at the side. At the same time, he asked, "May I know why the Mansion Master has summoned me?"
In fact, Luo Zheng knew that since he had told them about his background, they would definitely investigate.
Although he had told them before leaving Meng Village, the Divine Citizens of Meng Village had never even entered the Divine City. He was afraid that he would not be able to hide from the people of the Heaven-containing Mansion.
Today, Han Meng had personally invited him over. He was afraid that they were going to investigate his background.
However, Luo Zheng had already made up his mind. He did not panic at all. Instead, he asked Han Meng.
When Han Meng was asked by Luo Zheng, an unnatural expression appeared on his face. That expression disappeared in a flash, and he laughed. "To tell you the truth, the disciples of the Heaven-containing Mansion are treated like family members. However, due to the rules passed down by our ancestors, there are some backgrounds that must be investigated."
Luo Zheng understood. Just as he had guessed, the Heaven-containing Mansion had really gone to Meng Village, and they had already found out that something was wrong …
"From what we have learned from Meng Village, it seems to be different from what you have said." Han Meng said again.
Han Yu and Han Chen also looked at Luo Zheng, as if they wanted to find some clues from his face.
"I am not from Meng Village." Unexpectedly, Luo Zheng smiled faintly and openly admitted it. The three True Gods were not used to Luo Zheng's honest answer. They were slightly stunned.
Han Meng continued to ask, "Then where are you from?"
It was not important where Luo Zheng came from. What was important was that they needed a real and trustworthy background.
Luo Zheng shook his head. "I can't tell you."
Of course, he would not admit that he came from the Great Yan Realm and that he was the son of Luo Xiao in order to enter the Heaven-containing Mansion. Furthermore, Luo Zheng could not fabricate an identity. With the Han family's ability, they would definitely verify his identity. It would be very easy for them to see through him, so he could only answer honestly.
Hearing this, Han Yu said coldly, "The Heaven-containing Mansion does not accept people of unknown origins."
Han Chen agreed. "That is indeed the case. I hope you can cherish this opportunity."
There was a hint of threat in their words. They were telling Luo Zheng that if he did not explain his origins, he would most likely be expelled from the Heaven-containing Mansion.
"If that is the case, then it is truly regrettable. I am afraid I will have to choose to leave the Heaven-containing Mansion." Luo Zheng's face was filled with regret. Joining the Heaven-containing Mansion was only a shortcut for Luo Zheng to reach the floating island. If this shortcut did not work, then Luo Zheng would choose another path.
But revealing his identity was too important. He could not reveal his identity for the sake of a mere Heaven-containing Mansion!
As soon as he said this, Han Chen and Han Yu choked. They wanted to threaten Luo Zheng with the Heaven-containing Mansion's qualifications, but they did not expect him to care at all.
Han Meng glanced at Han Chen and Han Yu. This Luo Tianxing was not an idiot. If he had such heaven-defying talent, which Divine Mansion would not want him? Would they care about the qualifications of the Heaven-containing Mansion?
Just as Han Meng was pondering what reason to use to convince Luo Zheng, a figure floated down from the sky above the Heaven-containing Province and slowly descended into the main pavilion of the Heaven-containing Province.
"This person can actually fly in the divine realm …"
