Chapter Ch288 - Will Not Recognize Him
Esteed Huai Yu pursed his lips, “Nonsense! The prophet family’s actions basically deprived Yan Zhonghua of his chance at ever touching the throne, which used to be readily available for him. Of course he wouldn’t let those scumbags off so easily. However, his reasons have nothing to do with
and my precious son.”
Esteed Lan Yue didn’t give him any face and even poured cold water with his words, “I didn’t say it had anything to do with you either.”
Esteed Huai Yu glared at Esteed Lan Yue, his face full of unhappiness.
Esteed Huai Yu sighed and imdiately uttered longingly, “The Demon Realm lacks spiritual Qi and is not suitable for cultivation. It would be nice if the Demon Realm could build its royal palace on a place rich in spiritual Qi, like the Purple Emperor’s Heavenly Capital.”
Esteed Lan Yue looked at him and nodded. “You can try, but Yan Zhonghua had wantonly put up a huge bounty for you within the Nine Lands. Do you dare return to the Royal Heavenly Capital to try it?”
“I don’t dare, he’ll definitely cut
apart, piece by piece. Besides, I don’t think I can beat him at all now.”
Esteed Huai Yu suddenly wilted again, slumping dispiritedly in his chair and pouting, “Yan Zhonghua really isn’t anything good. I’ve been gone for so many years, but he still won’t let
off the hook. Moreover, when he said he wanted children back then, I also told him that it was risky to have children; he might not be able to safely raise them. But Yan Zhonghua was still determined to have children, and he even said sothing about however many I give birth to is however many he’ll raise... Sure enough, the sweet promises n utter in bed are complete rubbish!”
“And whose damn fault was that? If I was Yan Zhonghua and you played
like this, I would have cut you down long ago.” Esteed Lan Yue kicked at Esteed Huai Yu, who imdiately jumped onto the chair, his image as a wise sage completely gone.
“Aiya, Senior Martial Brother, why don’t you and I get together? In any case, you’re also a ten-thousand-year-old bachelor. I reckon that with this temper of yours, no sweet little Gege will take a fancy to you.”
“Speak properly to , I don’t care at all about your ssy relationship situation.”
Esteed Huai Yu jumped down from the chair. “Say, Senior Martial Brother, he offered so much money to capture
alive. If I voluntarily tied myself up and appeared in front of him, would he give
that money?”
Dark lines appeared on Esteed Lan Yue’s face, and he spoke with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes, “I don’t know, but why don’t you try it yourself? Who knows? Maybe if you act coquettishly in front of him again, he’ll beco softhearted and think of all the sweet mories you guys had in the past. Then he will give up on dismbering you into eight pieces and leave you with an intact corpse.”
Esteed Huai Yu coldly looked at Esteed Lan Yue, whose words didn’t leave him with any face at all.
If this wasn’t his direct Senior Martial Brother, he definitely would have sewn this person’s mouth shut.
Yan Zhonghua hated him to death. Over the years, it wasn’t like he didn’t take the initiative to find Yan Zhonghua, but all of his attempts were rejected without exception. Yan Zhonghua avoided him and didn’t even want to look at him.
Later when, with much difficulty, he finally endured and stopped provoking Yan Zhonghua, this guy actually put a bounty on him.
What Esteed Huai Yu hated the most now was to have people bring up his and Yan Zhonghua’s past.
Esteed Lan Yue allowed Huai Yu to sulk in a corner by himself. “When do you plan to tell Yan Tianhen that you’re his dad?”
“Don’t plan to.” Sowhat jittery, Esteed Huai Yu, grabbed a spiritual fruit from the fruit bowl, took a few bites, and threw it back to its original place. “I won’t acknowledge him as my son. Ever since I threw him to soone else to raise, I never planned to recognize him as my son again. His dad is Lin Zhan. Even after he goes to the Nine Lands in the future, his dad will still be Lin Zhan.”
Looking at his Junior Martial Brother’s reddened eyes, Esteed Lan Yue couldn’t help but feel his heart hurting for Huai Yu. He sighed and walked over to him, rubbing his head, “You Ming, don’t be afraid. That child is not that kind of coldhearted person. He will understand you one day.”
“Senior Martial Brother.” Esteed Huai Yu sniffled and looked at him, “I dare not let him know that I’m his dad. I’m afraid he’ll hate
and despise , and he’ll even ask why I threw him to be raised by others, or why I gave birth to him knowing full well I was a Divine Devil, bringing him so much suffering&#k2026; If such a day ever cos, I truly will go crazy.”
Esteed Lan Yue knew that he really ant it when he said that he’d go crazy; it wasn’t just an exaggerated description.
His ntal state was very unstable, which was precisely why Esteed Lan Yue wracked his brains to bring You Ming from the Nine Lands to the Five Continents so that he could stay with Yan Tianhen. He hoped to stabilize You Ming using this kind of thod so that he wouldn’t sink into hallucinations and irritable mood swings from ti to ti.
Esteed Lan Yue frowned. He ca over and pressed Esteed Huai Yu’s wrist. “Do you feel unwell these days?”
Huai Yu shook his head, “Not yet. It’s just that I ate so at a few days ago and felt a little uncomfortable.”
Esteed Lan Yue loosened his hand. “Continue taking the dicine I found for you. Even if you feel gluttonous, don’t touch at and the like. If you want to eat sothing delicious, you may as well co here. Ah Tong has always been a good cook; I’ll have him cook for you.”
“Ay...” Esteed Huai Yu sighed, feeling very miserable. Not allowing him to eat at was much crueler than killing him. However, he understood his own problems — it was better to not court death due to his desire for good food.
To be honest, when he goes crazy, even he himself is afraid!
Esteed Huai Yu looked up at the Esteed Lan Yue, “Elder Martial Brother, I think the Five Continents are also quite good, so it doesn’t matter if we don’t ever return to the Nine Lands.”
“I ca to the Five Continents for the sake of the prophet family, and you... you ca here for the sake of the Demon Realm and your son.” Esteed Lan Yue flatly refuted, “Don’t say childish words; you know what you have to do.”
Esteed Huai Yu froze for a mont, then smiled. “Senior Martial Brother is right. Ah Hen must follow
back to the Nine Lands. Otherwise, I will not rest assured no matter who he stays with.”
“Sooner or later, he’ll know that you are his dad.”
Esteed Huai Yu tilted his head. “He won’t; he’ll only know that Huai Yu is his Master and that You Ming is his dad, but he won’t know that Huai Yu and You Ming were the sa person to begin with.”
At the very least, even if Yan Tianhen didn’t acknowledge him as his dad, he could still continue to enjoy Yan Tianhen’s “filial piety” as Huai Yu.
Esteed Lan Yue cast him a sidelong glance. “As long as you don’t spill the beans.”
Just then, the wind chi in the corner of the room rang, and both looked towards the wind chi at the sa ti.
“Soone is coming.” Esteed Huai Yu curled his lips, “Why don’t you guess — is it that little disciple of yours?”
Without waiting for a reply from Esteed Lan Yue, a tall young man dressed in a pale blue Taoist robe appeared at the open door.
The person was like jade, his face like the rainbow.
Lin Xuanzhi gave a simple half-salute, “Greeting Master and Martial Uncle.”
Esteed Huai Yu sized up Lin Xuanzhi with narrowed eyes, full of criticisms left and right. No matter how he looked, he always felt that this brat didn’t look very pleasing to the eye. He had never seen Lin Xuanzhi before this but had always heard people ntion him. Now that he’d seen him, his first impression was that this lad looked like he was carved from the sa mold as that oh-so-incredible father of his.
Tsk, tsk, tsk!
Esteed Huai Yu cracked his knuckles, suddenly getting the urge to beat soone up.
Esteed Huai Yu resisted the amazent in his heart. “You’re Lin Xuanzhi?”
Esteed Lan Yue quickly gave Esteed Huai Yu a look that said “shut up and don’t talk”.
A peculiar expression flashed through Lin Xuanzhi’s eyes but instantly went away. He looked up at Esteed Huai Yu. “Yes.”
Knowing that he’d made a big mistake, Esteed Huai Yu imdiately made up for his blunder with a smile, “I haven’t seen you for so many days, yet you’re still so handso and charming.”
Lin Xuanzhi, “...”
Esteed Lan Yue felt that he couldn’t continue watching this ongoing trainwreck. Although he had brought a subordinate to the Five Continents with him to play the role of Esteed Huai Yu for many years and had that subordinate deliberately behave in an eccentric and unpredictable manner, not even that poor subordinate of his would flirt with his disciple as soon as he opened his mouth.
You Ming’s temperant hadn’t changed, even after so many years. Whenever he saw a good-looking person, he just had to go up and playfully flirt with them for a bit.
Seeing that Lin Xuanzhi’s expression was a little dark, Esteed Huai Yu hurriedly redied “I spoke wrongly just now. It should be ‘more handso and charming than before’.”
Lin Xuanzhi imdiately blushed with sha. How was he supposed to respond to this?
This was his elder and also his Martial Uncle. He couldn’t just reply “You flatter ” or return the praise to the other party, could he?
Now that it had co to this, not even Esteed Lan Yue could look on any further. He coughed softly, “What can I do for Xuanzhi?”
Lin Xuanzhi ca to himself and responded, “I haven’t seen my Didi for many days. When I heard that Martial Uncle Huai Yu ca, I specially made a turn here to ask if Ah Hen has caused any trouble for Martial Uncle.”
“Your Didi, ah–” Esteed Huai Yu stretched out his tone and touched his chin. “This lad is a little disobedient; he couldn’t even control the tiger cubs that he brought. They scared my chickens and ducks so much that they can no longer lay eggs. I’ve been pondering these couple of days whether the two cubs would taste better braised or fried. Otherwise, why don’t Martial Nephew Xuanzhi give
an idea?”
Lin Xuanzhi, “...”
He thought that neither was good.
Lin Xuanzhi smiled faintly, “Martial Uncle is joking.”
“Actually, if you didn’t find
today, I would have looked for you.”
Lin Xuanzhi looked at the malicious smile on the corner of his mouth and imdiately had a bad feeling. “What’s the matter?”
“It’s definitely sothing related to your younger brother. Let
ask you, is your brother’s matter your matter? If he gets into trouble, will you take responsibility for him? “
All right, so it seed like Yan Tianhen had caused a disaster.
Lin Xuanzhi composed himself, “Naturally. No matter what Ah Hen did, I ask Martial Uncle to please not make things difficult for him on the basis of his young age. You can tell
about it instead.”
Esteed Huai Yu narrowed his eyes, “Oh, it’s not a big deal either. He just owes this Venerable a great sum of money is all.”
Lin Xuanzhi was shocked. “How much does he owe?”
Esteed Huai Yu took out a gold abacus from sowhere, his fingers flying over it as he calculated at light speed. One could tell from a glance that he often did this kind of work.
After calculating, Esteed Huai Yu sumd up, “He destroyed a lot of my spiritual plant fields in the past few days, totaling 368 plants, including 200 Second Level high-grade spiritual plants, 100 Third Level high-grade spiritual plants, and also so Fourth Level spiritual plants...but these are not important. The important thing is that there are three Fifth Level spiritual plants included in this number, which are specially grown for the sect. The people on Hundred Refinent Peak should be coming to find
in a few days to ask for these plants. If I can’t take them out, I will lose all my face. Those spiritual plants are not worth any money, but it’s hard to buy my face, even with thousands of gold. If I lose face, how will you compensate?”
Lin Xuanzhi once again felt that his worldview had been severely challenged.
When he saw Esteed Huai Yu in the past, although he felt that this person was wild and unruly, not very easy to talk to, and that his behavior was sowhat different from that of ordinary people, Lin Xuanzhi still didn’t think that he was as... shaless... as he was now.
Fine, he shouldn’t use such slanderous words to describe Yan Tianhen’s Master, but he truly had never seen a second person who could say such words.
Lin Xuanzhi couldn’t help worrying about Yan Tianhen’s future.
But worrying was worrying; the imdiate matter still needed to be resolved.
Lin Xuanzhi asked, “How much does Martial Uncle Huai Yu think is enough to compensate?”
Esteed Huai Yu clapped his hands joyfully, “Oh! Lad, you’re really considerate, I like it. I will calculate it according to the cost and age of those spiritual plants. Then I’ll even down the total and sell it to you at a lower price. The total amount is 40,000 gold. However, I reckon that Yan Tianhen will destroy more spiritual plants in the future; it’ll be difficult to calculate that amount ah.”
