Ch581 – A Petty Person

Yan Tianhen frowned and said, “How can it be okay? Dage should have been the eldest son of the Xuan Clan. If adoptive father does not know of your existence, he would think that the child in Daddy’s stomach is his eldest son. That unborn child will take away everything that originally belongs to you.”

Lin Xuanzhi looked at Yan Tianhen’s appearance of righteousness, and his heart felt indescribably warm. “I’ve never cared about these things.”

“But I care about it.” Yan Tianhen pouted. “Not to mention the position that should’ve belonged to you, just all the love and affection Daddy and adoptive father should’ve given you will be snatched by the shapeless little boy instead. Why do you have no father or mother, but that boy has everything? I feel bad when I think about it.”

Lin Xuanzhi rubbed Yan Tianhen’s head and said softly, “Why would I hold a grudge against an unborn child? As long as I have Ah Hen, that’s enough for me.”

“It’s not enough at all.” Yan Tianhen’s mouth was pouting so hard that it could almost hang an oil bottle. “Even if he is your Didi and Daddy’s son, I can’t like him. I’m precisely such a petty person. Even if you are angry with me, I’ll still tell the truth.”

In Yan Tianhen’s heart, Lin Xuanzhi deserved the love and affection of all the people in the world. After seeing all the past events in Lin Xuanzhi’s memory, Yan Tianhen was more than distressed for him and hated the Dao of Heaven to the extreme and also hated himself to the extreme.

He hated that he could not be by Lin Xuanzhi’s side when he needed it most, and he spent eight years happily without any worries. Eight whole years ah.

The eight years of the outside world, was equivalent to 80 years in the soul plate.

Lin Xuanzhi spent most of his time in his soul plate. He practiced swords by himself, alone in the inseparable space between day and night, moving forward with heavy burdens.

Yan Tianhen once pulled Lin Xuanzhi’s long hair and asked him why he dyed Demonic Spectre Venerable’s hair white. Lin Xuanzhi just laughed and said that it was because he didn’t want people to see through Demonic Spectre Venerable’s identity.

However, when Lin Xuanzhi’s memory was presented to him without reservation, Yan Tianhen suddenly discovered that his snow-white hair was the real color of Lin Xuanzhi’s long hair. After Lin Xuanzhi saved him in the forest that day, he returned to the soul plate and vomited a mouthful of blood, turning his hair white overnight.

At that time, Yan Tianhen was so angry that he was crying and was so unstable that he was almost ejected from Lin Xuanzhi’s sea of knowledge.

Perhaps dreams could be faked, but the memories contained in the sea of knowledge could never be faked. Yan Tianhen felt that he was practically born to be Lin Xuanzhi’s enemy.

He even saw that in the past life, Lin Xuanzhi had cultivated for a thousand years in the soul plate in order to allow him to be reborn.

Yan Tianhen did not want to remember anymore, he didn’t want to torture and abuse his heart like this anymore.

Therefore, he wanted all the kindness and affection of the world to be piled up for Lin Xuanzhi, and he wanted everything belonging to Lin Xuanzhi to be returned to him. But if Lin Zhan gave birth to a second child, wouldn’t everything that should have belonged to Lin Xuanzhi be transferred to another person? Of course, Yan Tianhen couldn’t accept that.

When Lin Xuanzhi saw this, he knew that Yan Tianhen was very concerned about it, but for himself, it really didn’t matter.

Lin Xuanzhi said, “Ah Hen, you might as well think about it the other way around. I am away all year round and cannot serve my father. If Daddy has another child, he will be able to accompany him by his side for me. It will be a blessing”

Yan Tianhen said, “You don’t have to convince me like this, anyway, as long as I think of you, I feel pain in my heart.”

Lin Xuanzhi said, “It will get better over time, don’t be sad.”

Towards the child in Lin Zhan’s belly, although Yan Tianhen felt depressed whenever he thought about it, what’s done is done. He couldn’t just ask Lin Zhan not to want this child because of his own selfish interests, which was unfair to Lin Zhan.

Yan Tianhen clenched his fist and said, “I want to fight for everything that belongs to you.”

Lin Xuanzhi shook his head and said, “You don’t have to waste this effort.”

Yan Tianhen asked, “Why? Speaking of it, did Daddy never tell adoptive father about your existence? And my father and them, since you have known them for a long time, even if they forget you, why can’t you remind them?”

This was something that Yan Tianhen had never understood.

If they had forgotten, wouldn’t they meet again if he just mentioned the past again?

“I have tried it before.” Lin Xuanzhi said lightly, “However, as soon as I mention some things related to my past, they will automatically ignore them, or they will remember them at that time, and soon they will forget them again. Daddy once mentioned me to my father, but he would also forget what Daddy said in a blink of an eye. Daddy tried several times and gave up.”

Yan Tianhen frowned, “It’s actually that serious.”

Lin Xuanzhi said, “I don’t know if you have noticed, that in fact, my appearance is actually like my father’s. In other words, the people of the Xuan family, especially the main branch descendants, can be easily identified from their appearance alone.”

Yan Tianhen was stunned. He stared at Lin Xuanzhi’s face for a moment, then said, “I don’t think so. You two are very far apart in temperament, and your looks are also not very similar…”

“That’s right.” Lin Xuanzhi said with a faint smile, “In your opinion, I don’t even look like him. I’m afraid the world in my eyes is different from the world in your eyes.”

Yan Tianhen’s heart was full of mixed feelings, and his anger rose. He cursed, “Why did the damned Dao of Heaven treat you like this? Could it be he retaliated because he was jealous of your talent and beauty!?”

Lin Xuanzhi couldn’t help laughing, and said, “Well, maybe that’s the case.”

Yan Tianhen sighed, but he didn’t have the heart to make a joke. “Is it possible that in this world, I am the only one who can truly recognize you?”

Lin Xuanzhi shook his head and said, “Actually, according to reason, even you should have not recognized me anymore. I am always worried that when you wake up one day, you won’t remember me anymore. If that’s the case…”

Lin Xuanzhi didn’t continue; he couldn’t imagine that scene.

Yan Tianhen immediately expressed his loyalty, “Even if one day, I really don’t remember you, but as long as I see you, I will fall in love with you immediately, and I will only love you in my life. Dage, it’s always been you who didn’t want me; there’s never been a time where I didn’t want you.”

Lin Xuanzhi found that he really couldn’t refute this, so he said with a smile, “If you think about it this way, then the Dao of Heaven is actually pretty good to me, it was not thoroughly ruthless.”

At this time, an inner hall disciple of Sword God Hall flew over on his sword. As soon as he stood on the ground, he hurriedly ran towards Lin Xuanzhi. His behavior was restless and frightened.

Without waiting for Lin Xuanzhi to speak, the disciple said, “Hall Master! The Grand Hall Master asked you to go out of the sect and go directly to Chang’an Street for emergency assistance. On Chang’an Street and Yong’an Street in Ethereal City, we have found the whereabouts of the Fiends and three disciples have already been killed!”

Lin Xuanzhi listened and asked, “Who is there now?”

The disciple said, “It’s the Grand Hall Master. The Grand Hall Master is now on Yong’an Street. However, I’m afraid that Chang’an Street won’t be able to hold on any longer!”

Lin Xuanzhi’s expression was slightly solemn. “Send someone to sound the drums immediately.”

The disciple said, “Already notified.”

Lin Xuanzhi nodded, and said to Yan Tianhen, “Don’t casually run around inside the sect; I will be back.”

Yan Tianhen was anxious and wanted to go with Lin Xuanzhi. However, he knew that he would just be a hindrance, so he could only say, “Be careful, I’ll wait for your return.”

Lin Xuanzhi nodded slightly and disappeared in a flash.

The elder martial brother was still immersed in the news of the appearance of the Fiends, unable to extricate himself.

He heard him muttering, “Earlier, weren’t they still saying that there was only one Fiend?”

Yan Tianhen heard the words and explained, “Once the Fiend has absorbed enough spiritual Qi, but the cultivation base is not high enough, the body will not be able to bear it. It can only split off half of its cultivation by splitting into two. The newly-created Fiend will become a new independent individual, and it will become stronger gradually. In the end, it will split again because its body cannot handle too much spiritual Qi. This is one of the major reasons why the Fiends cannot be burned and eliminated by wildfire; it is also the main way for them to multiply their population and produce offspring.”

The senior took a deep breath, took a few steps back, took a deep look at Yan Tianhen, and said, “I’m afraid that Ethereal City will no longer be peaceful in the future.”

Yan Tianhen nodded and said, “Yes.”

Seeing that Yan Tianhen was so calm, the elder disciple asked, “Don’t you feel scared?”

Yan Tianhen answered, “Even if you are afraid, it is useless. Instead of being afraid, it’s better to seize the time to improve your cultivation. When you encounter the Fiends, you can chop them down with your sword.”

The senior martial brother’s eyes were dazzled, and he softened a bit. “It turns out that the reason Junior Martial Brother is suddenly so keen on sword practice is because of this. I have practiced swords for decades, but my understanding is not as thorough as Junior Martial Brother’s understanding of the sword path. I feel guilty.”

Yan Tianhen, “???”

The Elder martial brother’s impression of Yan Tianhen suddenly improved a lot. He also asked with concern, “A few days ago, I heard that Younger Martial Brother’s sword practice had gone wrong, and he almost had a Qi deviation. Are you better now?”

Yan Tianhen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He knew that the elder brother had misunderstood something, but naturally he didn’t intend to explain. “It’s completely healed, I thank Elder Martial Brother for the concern.”

The elder martial brother nodded, breathing a bit hurriedly, and said, “I suddenly gained some enlightenment, I’m afraid I’m going to closed-door cultivation and break through. Today’s great kindness will be rewarded in the future.”

Yan Tianhen watched the elder martial brother who came, and went in a hurry, leaving like this. He couldn’t help commenting, “This Prince is really a genius. Just a casual word from me can enlighten people, break through the mental barrier in their heart, and improve their cultivation realm.” With two sly smiles, he touched his chin and said without blushing, “I really am a perfect match for Huarong Sword Immortal!”

…………

The drums began to sound, and the rhythm was very fast. With the force of penetrating the clouds, they spread to every corner of the whole Ethereal City. In the blink of an eye, Lin Xuanzhi came to Chang’an Street with the drum beating.

On Chang’an Street, the patrolling disciples of Sword God Hall were arranging sword formations, fighting valiantly against dozens of Fiends that had a rancid smell on their bodies and were possessing the demonic beasts.
