The safety of his unborn child and wife was far important to Han anything else.
It was also why he had this old men help him.
Even though he was pretending to be calm, he kept pacing back and forth.
Only after about half an hour, before the sounds of movement in the house stopped being obvious, but he could hear sounds.
When seven hours had passed, he was still pacing back and forth and the sounds from the room intensified.
It was also at the moment when he was just about to walk into the room, that sound of a baby cry was heard.
After a few minutes.
"Clan Master! Madam has given birth to a girl!" The midwife run out but the voice was not loud as though afraid of embarrassing him.
"Hahaha! Our family has a princess now!" It was just that she was shocked seeing him so happy that he burst out laughing.
"Huh!"
She wasn't the only one, as most of the people observing thought he would be disappointed.
Even though this world was a place with Qi cultivators, mortals still retained their bias between men and women.
The case was even more so, seeing that Hong Jun was the Hong Clan Master.
It was a shame, he didn't care about their little thoughts at all.
He walked into the room with a hearty laugh and saw his wife holding their newborn daughter.
She didn't seem as exhausted as one might expect. He wasn't shocked, rather he was happy.
"It seems that as long as my wife becomes stronger, it would not be dangerous to give birth!" He thought silently.
"Wife! You have worked hard!" He moved closer and whispered this while the old woman and two young apprentices looked at the family of three with some envy.
"Okay! You three should go to butler Zhou and collect your reward. The Hong clan will not let you down for your contribution. Make sure to work hard and help the clan have a safe delivery and your names will not be buried in the sand." He turned back and encouraged them.
Hearing this, the three women bowed before leaving. He didn't bother with them anymore, but returned his focus on his wife.
On the outside, Butler Zhou was already waiting and upon seeing them lead them away to recieve the rewards.
She could already tell that the clan master was happy and knew this group were to be rewarded well.
Inside the room, Hong Jun took initiative to carry his wife out and change back to their residence.
Walking out, he could see the group that had gathered dispersing, with only a few left behind after offering their congratulations.
Watching all this, Hong Jun didn't care. He was just excited today.
"Husband! Why did you let the only Grandmaster's in the village come? Is there any problem?" She couldn't help but to ask.
"Well! I thought it was best to be safe than sorry. I always have this uneasy feeling!" He looked at Su Qingqin and his newborn daughter with a strong light of determination flashing in them.
"What is it husband?" She noticed this and asked.
"I want to enter the ruins with the old men to seek an opportunity to not only speed up my practice, but also inspiration on the path ahead. We are very weak and if this doesn't change fast, our entire Clan might be wiped out sooner or later." His expression became solemn when saying this.
"Let's not mention that mother of mine. I'm sure she is definitely going to come for our lives some day, and at that moment even running away is impossible. Let's not mention the actual situation in the outside world." He said seriously.
"Outside world?" Hearing this words, Su Qingqin's expression became serious.
Clearly she didn't think much of Hong Jun's mother. He noticed she didn't react, but had a reaction when he spoke about the outside world.
He was not wrong, as she didn't care about that woman in the slighest. Only she was far more interested in the situation of this world.
"Information that has been obtained from the only person in the Hong clan to go out and explore before escaping back shows that the outside is not very favourable for those without spiritual roots." He spoke about some of the experiences that Gu Tian's granddaughter had been through.
"So you think she was being hunted down just because she gave birth to a child for some Qi cultivator and they wanted to capture the child for evil purposes?"she couldn't help but throw the question about the outside world aside for the moment.
"It was obvious. The way they treated her was more like prey, and I'm very certain that mother of mine is not some good thing. She probably also had the same plan, and one day she might probably show up to make her move. It is just that based on the current situation, we can't tell when it will be and even if we could deal with her, we should be prepared for the consequences." He said after some thought.
After exploring the ruins, Hong Jun plans to send the rest of the time training more mortals while at the same time improving himself.
He plans to let Su Qingqin take care of other aspects and this would give them both time to practice.
The other minor responsibilities he was already planning on dropping them on the other grandmasters and those that had decent strength and character.
"I'm also sure that the fact we can deal with Qi cultivators as mortals without spiritual roots can't be hidden for long. When this news spreads, the entire world will definitely became our enemies." She could naturally understand what he meant.
The structure and order of the world was clear, mortals without spiritual roots having means to rival the originally superior Qi cultivators is something they would never allow.
Even stronger cultivators might be mobilized to deal with them.
"The origin trees where not planted just to deprive spiritual power from our territory and reduce chances of those with spiritual roots from appearing. You set it up to create an illusion of danger that was beyond useless mortals." She couldn't help but admire him as she said this.
"Wife is smart! But this level of tricks might not work on the strong. When we got the chance, it's best to do all we can to go further. The ruins can be said to be said to be our Clan's biggest reliance." Hong Jun concluded.
She just looked over with a strange expression that was saying, "So you know the Origin Trees can't really stop the strong!"
"What is with your expression?"he seemed offended by her eyes.
