“It’s better to hide it for one more day than to incite his anger now. He’s going to fight against the Purple Emperor’s Heavenly Capital soon,” Lin Zhan said sadly, “It’s only been a few days since we had a good life, and we’re going to start something again. God damn it, the Fiend’s affair hasn’t even been solved yet. I don’t really want to start a civil war.”
Yan Tianhen sighed and scratched his hair. “I’m annoyed, too. I’m going to be annoyed to death.”
Lin Zhan glanced at Yan Tianhen and said, “What’s bothering you, child? At your age, it’s a time to be innocent and carefree.”
Yan Tianhen rubbed his head. “I like someone, and he is also very good to me. I clearly feel that he likes me, but when I confessed to him, he just had to push me away. Do you think he has any concerns he can’t talk about?”
Lin Zhan was suddenly interested and he pinched Yan Tianhen’s small face. “What kind of person has Ah Hen taken a fancy to? He has no eyes if he actually turned you down. However, it is possible to have concerns. Who made our family’s Ah Hen so excellent that most people may feel ashamed of themselves?”
Yan Tianhen blinked. “It’s really impossible for him to be ashamed of himself in front of me. The person I have a crush on has a very good reputation, and his appearance, cultivation, and personality are all great. It is reasonable for him to not like me.”
Lin Zhan asked, “How can there be such a perfect person in this world? Why don’t we do this? Wait until I get to Myriad Dao Academy and see you. If he’s not that good, I’ll introduce you to a reliable one. I think you will definitely like him.”
Yan Tianhen stuck out his tongue and said, “Forget it. Liking that man is like a pit. I can’t get out once I’ve fallen in.”
Lin Zhan smiled. “I will go to Myriad Dao Academy in the future. At this time, you have stayed in my dream for too long. Now that your cultivation is in a stable state, you should leave.”
Having said that, with a wave of Lin Zhan’s sleeve, Yan Tianhen was sucked back by a strong force.
A feeling of weightlessness came to him. When Yan Tianhen opened his eyes again, he found that he was still in the training room, and his Dantian was perfect and smooth. He had even broken through all the obstacles of blocking him before.
At this moment, he seemed to have a better understanding and feeling of the Dao, after his cultivation improved, and his state of mind was more peaceful.
He glanced up and looked around. To the naked eye, a spider was netting in the corner. The silk thread of its net was sticky and unconnected, as thin as strands of hair. He could even hear a voice outside like the sound of a butterfly breaking a sword....
The Profound Realm was indeed quite remarkable. Yan Tianhen laughed, feeling happy.
He took back the furnace that was still in front of him, cleaned up the residue with a wave of his hand, and walked outside. As soon as he opened the door, he found several people waiting outside.
There was Qi Feiqing, Gu Ruyu, and some people he didn’t know.
As soon as Gu Ruyu saw Yan Tianhen coming out, he took the lead to stride over. “Do you know how long you’ve been in closed-door cultivation?”
Yan Tianhen counted with his fingers and said, “It’s been more than three months.”
Gu Ruyu’s face was black. “You really scared me to death. I thought...”
“Thought I couldn’t get out?” Yan Tianhen laughed, and he was actually very surprised. He just had a dream all night, and the outside world went by for more than three months.
Gu Ruyu wanted to punch someone but just said, “You’re still laughing?”
Yan Tianhen replied, “I managed to break through the bottleneck after much difficulty, and now I’m among the Profound Realm cultivators. How many people can say they’ve achieved this at my age? If I don’t laugh, can I cry hypocritically, and then cry bitterly that I couldn’t break through the Earth Realm all at once?”
Gu Ruyu, “...”
Haha, I really want to strangle him.
Qi Feiqing looked up and down at Yan Tianhen and waved his fan. “Oh, it’s different to be at the Profound Realm. You even dare to talk back to Young Master Gu. You’ve sure gained a lot of courage.”
Yan Tianhen denied, “No, no.”
Gu Ruyu glanced at Yan Tianhen. “It’s good to make a smooth breakthrough. I don’t need to say anything else. How about the pill you refined?”
Yan Tianhen said excitedly, “It’s been refined properly, just waiting for Elder Martial Brother Shi Yi to come and test the medicine. Did you catch that Fiend?”
Gu Ruyu’s face turned slightly dark. “Let’s talk about it later.”
Yan Tianhen had a bad feeling.
A few people returned to Yan Tianhen’s dormitory and closed the door before they began talking about the Fiends.
Gu Ruyu said, “The sect’s city patrol team had almost turned over the whole Ethereal City but they haven’t found a trace of the Fiend. However, the prophet family used magic weapons to conclude that the Fiend is still in Ethereal City at this time. After three months with no traces of it found, there were disciples in the sect who objected that patrolling the city was a waste of their cultivation time. Without any results, they had to quit.”
“What’s worse is that some fool said that Huarong Sword Immortal was an alarmist.” Qi Feiqing sneered disdainfully. “I think they are the ones whose brains have been kicked by donkeys. They’re acting as if they’ve been patrolling for a thousand days and fighting for a while; It’s only been a short period of three months, who knows where those Fiends are hiding, waiting to make their big move and catch us by surprise? I think it’s more important to be energetic in this exhausting period.”
Yan Tianhen was rather thoughtful, saying, “Is Huarong Sword Immortal in a state of great anxiety during this time? I have reached the Profound Realm and can share some of his worries.”
Gu Ruyu narrowed his eyes at Yan Tianhen coldly. “Don’t forget that you have just been rejected. Moreover, during the days when you were in closed-door cultivation, he didn’t even care whether you lived or died.”
Yan Tianhen said, “Don’t say that. I know that he cares about me in his heart, but he is too embarrassed to show it.”
Qi Feiqing looked at Yan Tianhen with emotion and shook his head. “I used to think you were shy, but now I find that you actually ate some bravery-inducing heart.”
Yan Tianhen was able to shrug with indifference. “To be a human, the most important thing is to follow one’s inclinations. My pursuit of Huarong Sword Immortal does not hinder others, nor does it violate the morality of the world, so what’s wrong with it?”
Qi Feiqing gave Yan Tianhen a thumbs up.
A tiger cub jumped up, wagged his tail slowly, and opened his mouth. “Master, master, I want to be with Great Master. The spiritual Qi here is not strong and the food is not delicious. Why did you bring me here just because you are lovelorn?”
This voice that sounded like a milk baby made Yan Tianhen look towards the ground in horror. He saw a white face with crystal, grape-like purple eyes fixed on him.
Yan Tianhen could swear that he saw the grievance and depression on Ah Bai’s face. Yan Tianhen frightfully asked, “Did it speak?”
Ah Bai said, “Yeah, yeah.”
Gu Ruyu, however, was not surprised. “He is a spiritual demonic beast. He has the blood of the white tiger family. Naturally, he’ll be able to talk when he is old enough. Moreover, he should have a contract with you. If your cultivation is high, his cultivation will naturally be affected. This is the so-called ‘if one person attains the Dao, then even their chickens and dogs will ascend’, and the same is true for contracted beasts.”
Ah Bai yawned, jumped on Yan Tianhen’s shoulder, and urged him, “Master, master, let’s go back to Little Penglai quickly. You’ve been here for three months, and I haven’t seen our family’s Hu Po for three months already.”
Yan Tianhen rubbed Ah Bai’s head and said with a Tsk, “So you dare to order me now.”
Ah Bai arched against Yan Tianhen’s face with his furry head and coquettishly said, “It’s not an order, it’s a plea.”
Yan Tianhen, “...”
You’re a demonic beast. Are you a real man now that you can speak?
Yan Tianhen smoothed the tiger’s fur. He smiled at Gu Ruyu and Qi Feiqing. “Our family’s cub insists on going there. A good master like me naturally has to respect my cub’s ideas.”
Gu Ruyu rolled his eyes at Yan Tianhen. “When you want to see Huarong Sword Immortal, you still have to find a high-sounding reason for yourself. I really admire you.”
Yan Tianhen said with a smile, “Huarong Sword Immortal must have been exhausted for a while. I always have to pay attention and care for him. Otherwise, he might think I simply gave up.”
Gu Ruyu, “...”
Qi Feiqing released a saddened sigh.
It was in this sigh that Yan Tianhen swaggered back towards Little Penglai with a tiger cub on his shoulder.
As for going on leave and visiting the master or sending out pills, none of that was as important as Lin Xuanzhi. Little Penglai was still as quiet as ever.
The soul plate’s space seemed to have no obstacle to Yan Tianhen. Every time he came, he would not be cut off from the outside and this time, too. Yan Tianhen knew that Lin Xuanzhi was not such a stingy person, that he wouldn’t shut him out just because Yan Tianhen took advantage of him once. Yan Tianhen couldn’t help but wonder if he could take advantage of him again.
Thinking of this, Yan Tianhen touched his face, feeling that his skin had grown even thicker since last time.
Lin Xuanzhi was originally practicing swordsmanship, but when he felt the fluctuation of the barrier and Yan Tianhen breaking into Little Penglai, he was surprised for a moment. He stopped practicing and walked out of the bamboo forest to see him.
When Ah Bai, who was in Yan Tianhen’s arms, saw Lin Xuanzhi, he was like a dog who saw a bone. He shook his tail and stuck out his tongue, running towards him. “Great Master!”
Ah Bai whined and rushed to leap into Lin Xuanzhi’s arms.
However, a devious hand snuck out and caught his nape easily in the air.
Yan Tianhen smiled warmly. “This young cub is too excited and presumptuous. Huarong Gege should never take it to heart.”
Ah Bai, “...”
You put Laozi down!
As Ah Bai’s feet kicked wildly in the air, Hu Po strode over portentously, and then sneered. Ah Bai suddenly stopped being annoying and jumped to the ground to chase Hu Po. Hu Po was very disgusted and said, “Don’t press against me, don’t behave in such a way!”
Ah Bai seemed to have been shot full of chicken blood. He suddenly threw Hu Po on the ground and licked his face.
Hu Po, “...”
Lin Xuanzhi looked at Yan Tianhen with a smile. “The improvement of cultivation is fast. This is a big breakthrough.”
Yan Tianhen smiled and scratched his head. “Yes, I broke through without knowing it. However, my feeling of this breakthrough is different from that of before. I actually entered a dream.”
Lin Xuanzhi asked, “A dream? Whose dream, and what did they dream of?”
Yan Tianhen touched his chin. “It’s a very important person’s dream. I saw a banquet from a long time ago, but now I can’t remember exactly what it was. After all, it’s a dream, and it gets blurry when you wake up.”
Lin Xuanzhi nodded and stopped asking questions. “How is your swordsmanship?”
Yan Tianhen made an Ah sound. “I have found a secret manual suitable for my cultivation, but I haven’t started practicing it yet. I’m going to solve the problems of Elder Martial Brother Shi Yi first, and then concentrate on cultivation. By the way, we should be able to attend classes together with Dao Division disciples, right?”
Lin Xuanzhi said, “All knowledge is available. In Myriad Dao Academy, you are welcome to learn all kinds of Dao at any time. With your current alchemy attainments, your alchemy teachers will turn a blind eye to you. What’s the name of the secret script you chose?”
“It’s called ?Decline and Prosperity?. When I was in the alchemy room, I read it in advance because I couldn’t resist. This secret book is actually in line with the mental skills my dad gave me. It is like a special technique that was made for me.” Yan Tianhen was a little excited when he talked about the cultivation method.
Lin Xuanzhi thought that he had never heard of this book, but since it was personally selected by Tianshu, it was naturally based on Yan Tianhen’s situation.
What was more reassuring to Lin Xuanzhi was that Sword Saint Tianshu was an old friend of You Ming and Yan Zhonghua. He was also entrusted by those two to look after Yan Tianhen, so he must surely do his best.
