Esteemed Huai Yu's voice was so loud that the two birds that had been perching on the tree were so scared they fluttered their wings and flew away.
When Esteemed Lan Yue heard this, he had a headache."Alright, Shidi. You've already been shouting for two hours. Since when did you become so cautious?"
"You actually think I'm noisy?" Esteemed Huai Yu couldn't accept this."They were clearly the ones who caused so much trouble!"
"It's probably because the lower beams will be crooked if the upper beam isn't straight. Compared to the trouble that you stirred up in the past, the trouble they've caused is nothing at all." Esteemed Lan Yue defended them especially calmly.
Esteemed Huai Yu was ruthlessly choked.
He looked at Esteemed Lan Yue in shock."Senior Martial Brother, how come you're speaking up for them? Could it be that you let them down before?"
Esteemed Lan Yue, "... Nonsense."
Lin Xuanzhi interjected casually, "Martial Uncle, do you know who Divine Dreamwalker Yin Xinghan is?"
Upon hearing this name, Esteemed Huai Yu exploded in anger, his face full of rage. He gnashed his teeth as he answered, "Nothing more than a brain-dead dumb fuck, Laozi's number one enemy. He's even worse than the one surnamed Yan! Back then, if it wasn't for him... if it wasn't for him... Damn it!"
"Hm." When Lin Xuanzhi saw Esteemed Huai Yu's reaction, he knew that there was deep hatred between the two."On our way to the Liu family's villa, we saw Yin Xinghan. He fought with Master."
"Ah, you guys saw Yin Xinghan..." Esteemed Huai Yu paused. He suddenly turned around and grabbed Esteemed Lan Yue's collar with his hand."Yin Xinghan came to the Five Continents? You all saw him? How come you didn't mention anything just now? Did you still want to protect him? Shixiong, he has wrenched apart my family, separating wife and child. If you want to protect him, I will never acknowledge you as a senior martial brother again!"
The more Esteemed Huai Yu talked, the redder the rims of his eyes became, which, nine times out of ten, was due to anger.
"Calm down first." There was some helplessness in Esteemed Lan Yue's tone as he replied, "Yin Xinghan did indeed come to the Five Continents. The previous rumors about the Twin Lotus Lamp were spread by him. I just haven't figured out whether he came to target Ah Hen or Xuanzhi this time."
"Fuck! It's definitely Ah Hen ah!" Esteemed Huai Yu uttered angrily, "Why would he target Lin Xuanzhi for no reason? It's not like he can divine Xuanzhi's life star-"
When he spoke here, Esteemed Huai Yu was stunned for a moment and said suspiciously, "No way. Don't tell me he already knows that the Star of Salvation is Lin Xuanzhi's fate."
Esteemed Lan Yue was also a little doubtful. He hesitantly answered, "I've been in contact with him for too short a time to be certain. However, I can tell that Yin Xinghan is very interested in Xuanzhi."
Yan Tianhen was upset."Why is he interested in my Dage? Shouldn't he be interested in me?"
With a Pa, Esteemed Huai Yu slapped Yan Tianhen on the forehead."Why are you fighting about that right now?"
Yan Tianhen rubbed his head and spoke like he was wronged, "I've already grown up, yet you still slapped my forehead."
Esteemed Huai Yu studied Yan Tianhen through narrowed eyes."Indeed, you grew up. How come you grew uglier?"
Yan Tianhen, "&#k2026;"
Esteemed Lan Yue was a little speechless."If you don't intend to continue discussing Yin Xinghan's matter, then we will change the topic."
With a wave of his hand, Esteemed Huai Yu said with indifference, "A little bastard like Yin Xinghan, Laozi can just secretly go and kill him in a couple of days, which will end all our troubles. Let's go with this first."
Esteemed Lan Yue side-eyed him."Don't talk big."
Esteemed Huai Yu curled his lips."It'll happen sooner or later. At worst, I'll be stuck with him in this Five Continents, and no one will be able to leave here. I don't believe that he can stir something up right under my nose."
"He has already stirred something up. Now everyone thinks that the Twin Lotus Lamp is on Xuanzhi."
Esteemed Huai Yu's expression darkened."That nuisance, Yin Chongyue, is too deceptive. He ran away with the Twin Lotus Lamp and left all the blame for Xuanzhi and Ah Hen. Can he be any more shameless?"
"The most urgent task..." Esteemed Lan Yue decided, "is to convince everyone that the Twin Lotus Lamp is not on Xuanzhi."
Otherwise, Lin Xuanzhi would be a moving target as soon as he left the Liu family's villa.
"Unless you find Yin Chongyue and divert everyone's attention away from Lin Xuanzhi, " Esteemed Huai Yu expressionlessly proposed."But where is Yin Chongyue?"
Esteemed Lan Yue, "..."
After a little thought, Lin Xuanzhi looked at the two elders who were equally depressed and spoke, "However, I feel that the most urgent matter right now is to improve our cultivations."
Esteemed Lan Yue nodded."How is your understanding of the《Teal Lotus Nine Styles》?"
Lin Xuanzhi was a little puzzled as he replied, "In the three days when I broke through Primary Realm, a secret manual suddenly appeared in my sea of consciousness, and the name was《Teal Lotus Nine Styles》. However, the few sword styles and meditation techniques that I can see right now are quite different from those my dad taught me before. Firstly, I don't know where this 《Teal Lotus Nine Styles》came from, and secondly, I don't know which parts of the《Teal Lotus Nine Styles》is correct, so I didn't cultivate the meditation techniques for the time being. I wonder if Master and Martial Uncle can enlighten me on this bewildering matter."
When Esteemed Huai Yu heard this, he immediately became energetic."Boy, why didn't you say this earlier? First, how much of the《Teal Lotus Nine Styles》can you see?"
Lin Xuanzhi entered his sea of knowledge and took a look."There are still only three styles, nine moves, and twenty-seven changes."
Esteemed Huai Yu smiled happily."Three styles are enough."
"Why do you say this?"
"The 《Teal Lotus Nine Styles》only has nine styles in total, which constantly emerge according to your talent and blood inheritance ability. Right now, you're no more than a Primary Realm Condensed Pulse Stage cultivator, but you can already sense the first three styles. Even if you were placed in the Xuan clan's main branch, you would still be considered a rare genius. As far as I know, even your father, Xuan Wushe, only sensed two styles when he was your age. After practicing them to the point of perfection, he was able to beat everyone in his generation and was invincible among his peers."
Esteemed Huai Yu only cared about feeling happy and accidentally revealed some secrets that shouldn't have been said.
Lin Xuanzhi narrowed his eyes dangerously."My other father truly is the Xuan clan's Xuan Wushe?"
Esteemed Huai Yu, "... Cough cough cough cough!"
Looking at Esteemed Huai Yu, Esteemed Lan Yue showed a rather helpless expression.
Huai Yu really knew how to ruin things.
Esteemed Huai Yu nodded and rubbed his nose."To be honest, your father is Xuan Wushe. However, I'm guessing that he still doesn't know he has a son like you yet. Otherwise, he would've found his way here a long time ago. I only learned about your identity from my Shixiong after I came to the Five Continents. The number of people in this world who know this matter can be counted on two hands. Your identity can be said to be more troublesome than Ah Hen's. Your identity must be well-concealed, or else the consequences will be unimaginable."
Lin Xuanzhi looked slightly unhappy."What about my identity must be hidden? At most, Xuan Wushe and I are only related by blood. I don't acknowledge that I am a member of the Xuan family."
Lin Zhan never mentioned his "mother" in Lin Xuanzhi's last life, even till the end. Over the years, Lin Zhan had always fallen silent whenever this topic came up. How could Lin Xuanzhi not have guessed the reason?
That someone as free as Lin Zhan who also valued emotions so much could ruthlessly leave Xuan Wushe when Lin Zhan was still pregnant — this must be because Xuan Wushe did something that Lin Zhan couldn't accept.
For Lin Xuanzhi, Xuan Wushe was an unfamiliar existence, and Lin Xuanzhi also had nothing to do with the Xuan clan.
Esteemed Huai Yu looked at Lin Xuanzhi and rubbed his nose."You can't say that. Back then, although East Sovereign Xuan was going to marry a wife and have children behind your dad's back, that's only because he had no choice."
When Lin Xuanzhi heard this, he said with a smile that didn't reach his eyes, "Oh, it turns out that he even wanted to marry a wife and have children. No wonder my dad ran away."
The corners of Esteemed Lan Yue's mouth twitched as he looked at Esteemed Huai Yu, who was growing more and more flustered."Can you shut up?"
Esteemed Huai Yu pinched his mouth."Yes."
Lin Xuanzhi took a deep breath and asked, "So, the secret manual my dad gave me is a fake?"
Esteemed Lan Yue sighed."I'm afraid there is something wrong with the meditation techniques. After all, the inheritance in your sea of consciousness can't be wrong."
Esteemed Huai Yu nodded."If I were you, I wouldn't say that I'm not a member of the Xuan clan. I would cultivate the 《Teal Lotus Nine Styles》handed down by the Xuan clan's ancestors and slaughter my way back to the Xuan clan, then ruthlessly kick all of Xuan Wushe's family down from the top and have them kneel down and call me 'Father'."
Lin Xuanzhi's expression looked normal as he lightly said, "I don't have such an irresponsible son."
Esteemed Huai Yu, "..."
So you really want Xuan Wushe to call you Father ah?
Esteemed Huai Yu was afraid this topic couldn't continue on, so he changed the subject."Since Yin Xinghan has already come, the day that Xuan Wushe's people hear about this place won't be far now."
Lin Xuanzhi narrowed his eyes."Why is that so?"
Esteemed Lan Yue answered, "Xuan Wushe has a prophet by his side who is Yin Xinghan's twin brother, named Yin Xingli. He has a technique with Yin Xinghan that connects their hearts. When Yin Xinghan found out about this place, Yin Xingli would definitely become suspicious in his heart and send someone to follow him here."
Yan Tianhen asked, "So... will Emperor Xuan come?"
Esteemed Lan Yue replied, "Emperor Xuan will not leave the Eastern Lands so easily."
Lin Xuanzhi asked, "Who exactly is Yin Xinghan's master?"
Esteemed Lan Yue answered, "The ruler of Purple Emperor's Heavenly Capital."
Lin Xuanzhi then asked again, "Whose people are you?"
Esteemed Lan Yue looked at Lin Xuanzhi and didn't speak.
He knew that Lin Xuanzhi would ask this question eventually.
However, he just had to ask in front of You Ming, which was very awkward.
Therefore, Esteemed Lan Yue replied impassively, "Me? I am no one's person, and I help no one. If you are truly curious about why I've tried my best to help you, you should treat me as a noble character who hopes that these 3, 000 realms will become peaceful."
The corners of Esteemed Huai Yu's lips couldn't help but twitch as he looked sideways."Senior Martial Brother, I haven't heard you say such shameless things in a long time."
Esteemed Lan Yue, "..."
Lin Xuanzhi and Yan Tianhen entered Qing Zhu's courtyard.
Qing Zhu was currently sulking in a courtyard full of bamboo.
"Zhuzi Gege, I heard that Master Liu returned your spiritual core to you the other day. Is this true ah?" Yan Tianhen asked eagerly as soon as he entered.
They had lived here for some time. Although they didn't know where Qing Zhu usually went, they often heard people in the Liu family's villa mention Liu Mengchen's wife.
Today, Yan Tianhen heard the most outrageous news — that is, Qing Zhu's spiritual core had been returned to him.
If that was the case, wouldn't Xiao Linfeng die?
