Chapter 668 - Late Night Pillow Talk Edited by Ea
Yan Tianhen also fantasized about inadvertently letting Chang Sheng discover that he was actually not that bad, and that he too, had suffered a lot of grievances and injuries, and maybe because of this, Chang Sheng’s view of him would change, and he might even treat him better because of the heartache. But later, his dreams were destroyed by a landslide.
Even if he was a demon, he still had a heart. After suffering too much injustice, too many injuries, too much burden, and too many curses, Lingyu was no longer the good child who used to laugh carelessly and held good intentions to the world even after being cursed at. Initially, he killed people because he had no other choice.
Later it beca a cathartic indulgence.
Dao Zu was dead, and no one in the world knew and understood him, so he would be like this for his entire life. He hated his past self, so he didn’t want to let Chang Sheng know all about his past, and he didn’t want Lin Xuanzhi to suffer from a heart demon because of his past life that shouldn’t be ntioned. He wanted to watch Lin Xuanzhi walk to the pinnacle of the orthodox Dao.
He wanted to repay everything he owed Chang Sheng.
“Cang Rong, just forget all this,” Yan Tianhen said.
“You will regret this.” Cang Rong looked at the stubborn and strong young man with a bit of pity.
“Indeed, I have done a lot of things that I regret.” Yan Tianhen smiled softly, as if laughing at himself. “But this matter is definitely not included.”
Since it had co to this point, Cang Rong naturally had nothing more to say.
His last will slowly dissipated, and the body of the man with long hair gradually beca transparent, and finally beca a faint gleam of flashing light, scattering in the wind like dandelion seeds as he gradually disappeared.
The light dimd, and when Yan Tianhen’s consciousness returned, he was still in the cave.
Rong Zhishui’s eyes were full of shock. “When you put your hand on it just now, this scroll lit up!”
It took Yan Tianhen a long ti before he recovered. He turned his stiff eyeballs and looked towards Rong Zhishui. “How long did it light up for?”
Rong Zhishui said, “It’s fleeting. It dimd again as soon as you took your hand away.”
Yan Tianhen paused, then asked, “How long was my hand on it?”
Rong Zhishui’s eyes revealed a little inexplicable color. “Didn’t you pull your hand away as soon as you touched it? Don’t tell
you... lost your mories?”
The illusions Yan Tianhen saw for a few monts in the scroll were just an instant in reality. Yan Tianhen put away the scroll casually, as if nothing happened. “It seems that this scroll is really sothing from your Rong family’s ancestors. Even if outsiders touch it, they won’t see anything. Why don’t you put it away first and secretly ponder what’s written on it later?”
Rong Zhishui nodded, not thinking about it anymore as he put the scroll in his storage bag. “Thank you this ti. If you want my help in the future, just ask.”
Yan Tianhen showed an enigmatic smile.
If there were no accidents, all the characters recorded on this scroll should be erased completely, and those past events would never be ntioned again.
The people of the Rong family searched for their young master everywhere, stirring up a fuss so that the entire Nine Lands knew about it. If it wasn’t for the fact that Rong Zhishui’s life tablet showed that he was still alive, the Rong family would definitely bla Myriad Dao Academy for everything and indiscriminately slaughter their way to the sect gates .
Although Rong Zhishui himself knew that there was a big disturbance, he did not care about it and he continued to follow Yan Tianhen to complete the mission. He completely regarded himself as Yin Changge who ca out of the backwaters, and didn’t care how worried the Rong family was.
In Rong Zhishui’s words, “Anyhow, it’s not the first ti that I suddenly disappeared. They’re simply going through the motions — I know there are many people in the clan who hope that I never return.”
Yan Tianhen said that he could understand it very well.
The mission the two of them accepted this ti was very simple and could be completed by only two people. However, the spiritual plant that was required for the mission was grown alone in a deep mountain valley in the Northeast Land, located on a cliff. It took so effort to get it. For Yan Tianhen and Rong Zhishui, picking the spiritual plant was naturally not a difficult task. The two spent half a day completing the sect mission, and then they prepared to return to the sect.
When they arrived at the border town of the Northeast Land and the East Land, it was getting late, and the two of them were not in a hurry, so they looked for the most expensive and most magnificent inn in the town.
Originally, Yan Tianhen wanted to choose two rooms, but Rong Zhishui insisted that it was only safe to be together when going out, and finally they booked only one room.
Yan Tianhen took off his shoes and crawled to the bed with only his inner clothes on. He was quite worried and said, “After we return, you absolutely must forget about
sleeping on the sa bed as you. If my Dage finds out, I won’t be able to explain myself.”
“If I wasn’t worried about my family coming after
and if I wasn’t such a heavy sleeper who needs soone to wake
up, I would never sleep with you.” Rong Zhishui thought that Yan Tianhen was climbing too slowly, so he kicked his ass and pushed him to the inner part of the bed. He then kicked off his boots, threw his clothes to the ground, and rolled onto the bed.
Yan Tianhen: “....”
Having known each other for so long, he didn’t even notice that Rong Zhishui was so formidable and wild in private. As expected, you can’t judge a book by its cover. The two laid down side by side on the bed.
In this atmosphere, it would be too incomprehensible to not have a late night pillow talk. So Rong Zhishui said, “This can be considered experiencing trials and tribulations together, right?”
Yan Tianhen said, “Don’t be so lodramatic, we are simply allying because of useful talents, villains colluding together, and a snake and rat living in the sa nest.”
Rong Zhishui was amused. “Can’t you use sothing good to describe yourself?”
Yan Tianhen side-eyed Rong Zhishui. “I mainly want you to recognize the mistakes in your behavior.”
“So you’ll even drag yourself into the water?”
Rong Zhishui turned over and laid down on the pillow, with a pair of raised eyes looking at Yan Tianhen. He chuckled twice, “Ah Hen, how in the world did you and Huarong Sword Immortal hook up? I don’t think he looked like the kind of person who has emotions, but he was willing to follow you, even when you’re ssing around. No matter how you look at it, this is true love.”
Yan Tianhen said, “No, wait. I approve of the ‘true love’ part, but what do you an he follows
even when I’m ssing around?”
“He went to the Tomb of Youshan without regard for his life just to find you the blood cypress sap. Isn’t this ssing around?”
Yan Tianhen felt happy in his heart, but on the surface, he said, “Since my Dage was willing to go, he must have a plan already.”
“A plan that involves your Dantian shattering and your ridians breaking?” Rong Zhishui’s eyeballs turned slightly and continued, “Speaking of which, I didn’t expect that when I saw you again, not only did your cultivation completely recover, but it even increased instead of declined. What thod did you use to repair your Dantian so quickly?”
Yan Tianhen sat up. “The dicinal pill you gave
is very effective.” When Rong Zhishui ntioned this matter, he suddenly rembered that he had never told Lin Xuanzhi about Lian Hua shattering his Dantian with a single finger.
When they were in the Tomb of Youshan, Lin Xuanzhi didn’t know and definitely did not suspect anything. But since they ca out and Yin Chongyue and other insiders were around, Lin Xuanzhi would discover what he had concealed sooner or later.
“That dicinal pill can only heal your wound at best, but it can’t completely repair your Dantian.” Rong Zhishui said suspiciously, “You should’ve had other help?”
A shattered Dantian, broken ridians, and the Celestial Prison, which had accumulated tens of thousands of years of resentnt, were the most suitable conditions for cultivating evil Qi. Naturally, Yan Tianhen couldn’t tell the truth, so he threw all the bla to Lian Hua, who was dead and therefore couldn’t expose his lies, “Your ancestor’s Dao companion is a pretty good person, and his skills are even better.”
Although he didn’t say how he recovered, he left enough space for imagination. Rong Zhishui let out a sudden realization.
Yan Tianhen let out a sigh of relief. If Lin Xuanzhi asked him in the future, he wouldn’t be afraid of exposing his identity.
“Ah Hen.” Rong Zhishui thought of sothing. He looked at Yan Tianhen and asked, “Have you ever done sothing that you regret, but nevertheless still had to do?”
Yan Tianhen paused and asked back, “What about you?”
Rong Zhishui turned over and laid on his back on the bed. He looked at the ceiling and said, “I have. I regret that when I was ten years old, I was tricked into entering the Tomb of Youshan by a disciple of the clan.”
At that ti, the Tomb of Youshan was still a forbidden place. Rong Zhishui was just a son of a concubine in the main branch, so he beca the object of insults and humiliation by the main wife and other concubines.
Rong Zhishui did not dare to resist. His mother, after he was bullied, could only hold him in her arms and weep in silence. She never stood up for him. As a result, the weak were always weak, and gradually the bullying from the main branch disciples beca more and more excessive.
Until he was tricked into entering the Tomb of Youshan.
The Tomb of Youshan was a terrible place. Even Yan Tianhen and Lin Xuanzhi must be cautious when they entered, for fear that they would die there if they made a mistake.
Rong Zhishui was just a ten-year-old kid, so how could he not be afraid? But he was lucky because Lian Hua happened to be too bored at that ti. Maybe it was because Lian Hua discovered that the intruder had the blood of the Rong family, so he saved Rong Zhishui in passing, who was about to be gnawed into bones by monsters.
“Most of my Daoist techniques were taught by Ancestor Lian Hua. He took
in for many years and only allowed
to leave when my cultivation reached the Profound Realm.”
Rong Zhishui’s voice was long and quiet, but his words were full of tears and blood. “Only after I ca out did I realize that so many years had passed. I went back to the Rong family to find my mother. Thinking that now I have a lot of strength, I am no longer the child who was humiliated but could not resist. I planned to take my mother out of the Rong residence, but I didn’t expect that... They said that my mother, as early as a year ago, when I had just left for half a year, had already entered the Tomb of Youshan to look for . She still hasn’t co out yet.”
At this point, Rong Zhishui’s eyes dimd a little.
“But the Tomb of Youshan has been quiet for a long ti. Ancestor Lian Hua can control everything in the Tomb of Youshan. Since he said there was no one in the tomb, there must be no one in the tomb.”
“The Rong family lied to , but the Patriarch of the family who had been in secluded cultivation for a long ti suddenly left closed-door cultivation. Just when I was about to demand justice for the cri, he personally appointed
as the successor of the Rong family. I really...... didn’t know what to do.”
“I accepted the position given to
by the Patriarch of the Rong family. I never let off a single one of those disciples who had humiliated and bullied
before, but I never killed them. When I accepted this position, it ant that I accepted their lie saying that my mother got lost in the Tomb of Youshan trying to find .”
Rong Zhishui said: “I know my mother didn’t die like that, but I can’t continue to investigate it further, otherwise my current status may not be preserved.”
