Ch126 – Secret Hint

Duan Yuyang scoffed and smiled as he said to Duan Yufei, “Since your mother doesn’t allow me to take you out, then I can’t help it. I don’t want my ears to suffer later, so just play by yourself at home ba. I have other things to do, so I’ll leave first.”

Duan Yuyang pinched Duan Yufei’s cheek before he left.

Duan Yufei looked at Duan Yuyang’s receding figure, who didn’t bother persisting for very long, and instantly felt like he had been abandoned by everyone.

He cried again, and whipped the cultivator while crying and shouted sadly, “It’s all your fault, your fault! I’ll beat you to death, I’ll beat you to death! Wuwuwu……you baddie, baddie!”

The cultivator’s face turned green because of getting beaten though he was just doing his job. But, when he thought of how Madam Duan would have treated him if he had allowed Duan Yuyang to take Duan Yufei out of the Duan residence, the cultivator felt a lot more comforted.

The Lin residence.

Lin Xuanzhi came out of the cultivation room and went straight back to his courtyard.

In the courtyard, Lin Xuanzhi saw Duan Yuyang, who was about to leave, and Yan Tianhen, who had come out to send him off.

“Dage, Yuyang Gege gave me an introductory manual to the alchemist path.” Yan Tianhen blinked, “And it’s a profound-level high grade cultivation method!”

Lin Xuanzhi’s eyebrows raised slightly and he couldn’t help but feel surprised, “Profound-level high grade? Did you get it from the auction house or the Duan family?”

Duan Yuyang waved his hand and said, “Neither. This is part of the dowry that my mother left behind. Although my mother didn’t have much of a background, but she was at least a disciple of a celestial-level sect, so it’s not impossible to get a profound-level high grade cultivation method.”

Lin Xuanzhi nodded, “Since we’re so familiar with each other now, let’s spare ourselves words of grat.i.tude. In the future, if you have any needs for crafting equipment, feel free to look for me.”

Duan Yuyang grinned, “As long as I need your help, I definitely won’t think twice about making a request.”

Lin Xuanzhi smiled and thought to himself, if she didn’t have much of a background, then it wouldn’t be a simple matter to have gotten this kind of profound-level high grade cultivation method… Whether or not that was a profound-level high grade method was one thing, but don’t just look at Duan Yuyang’s usual carefree demeanour. In actuality, as the Young Master of the Duan family, he definitely wouldn’t be so simple a person.

But, Lin Xuanzi didn’t make any inquiries.

Duan Yuyang stared at Lin Xuanzhi with a scorching gaze, “What kind of treasure did you craft this time?”

Lin Xuanzhi’s powerhouse aura seemed even stronger than the last time he saw him, and clearly belonged to that of a Hardened Body cultivator. That was definitely not Lin Xuanzhi’s own aura, which meant that there was only one possibility left — he now had a magic treasure on him that could disguise his cultivation level!

Lin Xuanzhi took out a magic treasure with the shape of a copper coin. With one flick of his thumb, the magic treasure landed in Duan Yuyang’s hand.

“I’ve only ever heard of such a thing and have never seen it with my own eyes before. It should be quite difficult to craft ba?” Duan Yuyang fiddled around with the Cultivation Level Ring and thought that this item should be something that could save his life in the future, so he was immediately very fond of it.

Duan Yuyang uttered two tsks and said meaningfully, “Xuanzhi, I realise that the magic treasures that you craft don’t travel through routes that ordinary people can see.”

Lin Xuanzhi had no mentor, nor had anyone ever seen him develop a good relations.h.i.+p with any craftsman before. But now, aside from the Blasting Bamboo and wine cups, all the magic treasures that Lin Xuanzhi crafted were treasures that Duan Yuyang had never seen or heard of.

So that required some special attention.

Yet Lin Xuanzhi just smiled lightly and said, unconcerned, “I just had some chance encounters where I managed to obtain a few special recipes and cultivation methods.”

Duan Yuyang nodded and didn’t inquire any further, “That was what I had guessed. But, you could be considered to have received the Heavens’ pity.”

Yan Tianhen stroked his chin and said pensively, “Why do I feel like my Dage can practically be called the darling of the Heavens? Although he fell once, he managed to get back up again very quickly, and would always chance upon even better encounters! It’s so amazing!”

Duan Yuyang felt the same way and said, “Don’t talk about it anymore, or else I’m going to be jealous of him.”

After he said this, the three of them laughed.

However, Lin Xuanzhi felt extremely rueful.

He had always been pitied by the Tao of Heaven, but likewise, some of the favours bestowed upon him by the Tao of Heaven will have to be returned eventually. Just like how he had completely lost Yan Tianhen in his past life, which is now an indelible scar in his heart.

But in this lifetime, he must grasp the gift of the Heavens firmly and let Yan Tianhen and him have a good ending this time.

Duan Yuyang said, “The Hundred Families Gathering is about to begin. The three major families of Qing city — the Duan family, Lin family and Han family — all attach great importance to it. Our family will be going to the mountains and forests for intensive training in a few days, and I need to follow along too. I’m afraid that you won’t be able to see me around during this period.”

Lin Xuanzhi nodded, “Likewise. The Lin family will be entering seclusion in the cultivation room.”

Duan Yuyang clicked his tongue and said with great admiration, “Now that you mention the cultivation room, only your Lin family was built on the dragon head of the leyline. I really envy you to death.”

Lin Xuanzhi said lightly, “If you want to go in there to cultivate, I can help you pay the family points required.”

Duan Yuyang waved his hand, “Never mind. The relations.h.i.+ps in your Lin family are even more complicated than in our Duan family, I can’t be bothered to be involved in that.”

Lin Xuanzhi thought of the pill poison in Duan Yuyang’s body, so he said furtively, “I’m afraid the internal section of your Duan family isn’t as peaceful as it seems.”

Duan Yuyang didn’t miss Lin Xuanzhi’s gaze. He couldn’t help but laugh, “What kind of rumours did you catch wind of this time?”

Lin Xuanzhi said lightly, “Speaking of rumours, I really did hear one recently.”

“What is it?” Duan Yuyang’s interest was piqued.
