Chapter 325 (1/2)

Duan Yuyang raised his eyes and smiled at Yuan Tianwen. “That’s right, Laozi is now the head of the Duan family. I’m afraid no one in my generation is better than me, right?”
Right now, the young masters in the same generation as him, like Lin Xuanzhi and Yuan Tianwen, were only young masters at most. They had the family head and elders on top of them, yet this Duan Yuyang now held the t.i.tle of master of a first-cla.s.s family. If word got out, who knows how many people would admire and envy him.
The so-called “every cloud has a silver lining” was just like this.
Yan Tianhen’s eyes brightened, “Congratulations to Yuyang Gege! Now that you’re in charge of the Duan family, you won’t be bullied anymore!”
“Naturally.” Yuan Tianwen declared with extreme confidence, “There’s never been any possibility of my Yuan family’s wife being bullied by others. The entire Duan family is merely a first-time meeting gift from my two fathers. In the future, everything in the Yuan family will be yours.”
Duan Yuyang was stuffed with a mouthful of sugar and almost choked. He pushed Yuan Tianwen and deliberately put on a straight face, “Get lost, get lost. What nonsense are you talking about?”
Yuan Tianwen smiled.
Yan Tianhen looked at them being so sweet and couldn’t help admiring them. He didn’t know when he and his Dage would be able to get the blessing of their dad together.
Lin Xuanzhi noted Yan Tianhen’s envious expression in his heart, secretly took his hand, and gave a rea.s.suring squeeze, “When we go to the Nine Lands, the first thing we’ll do is to look for Dad.”
Yan Tianhen asked with surprise, “Dage, you can tell that I’m thinking about Daddy?”
Lin Xuanzhi smiled slightly, “Whatever you think is written on your face, how can I not see it?”
Yan Tianhen rubbed his face.
Duan Yuyang saw this and joked, “I’m afraid that even if Uncle Lin knows about the matter with you two and wants to beat someone, the one he’ll beat is still Lin Xuanzhi, not you.”
Lin Xuanzhi nodded, “Very likely.”
Yuan Tianwen frowned slightly, “If I may be so presumptuous as to ask, your dad, he…”
Lin Xuanzhi answered, “He’s still alive, and he should be in the Nine Lands at this time. This matter involves the reclusive families in the Five Continents. We might as well talk about it in the room.”
“True.” Yuan Tianwen agreed, “Yuyang’s body is not suited to standing for a long time either. let’s go in first.”
A line of people walked towards the grand and majestic private residence of Young Peak Master Yuan, which was full of beautiful glazed tiles.
Lin Xuanzhi simply and comprehensively spoke about his experiences these few days. To him, both Duan Yuyang and Yuan Tianwen were trustworthy people. Nothing more needed to be said for Duan Yuyang. Lin Xuanzhi knew that in the last life, Duan Yuyang never betrayed Yan Tianhen, even till the end, and Yuan Tianwen was an honest-to-G.o.ds henpecked husband.
Although Yan Tianhen had already told Duan Yuyang some matters when Lin Xuanzhi was in secluded cultivation before, it was not comprehensive.
“The Liu and Jian families — I knew that it wouldn’t be anything good when they suddenly came out of isolation and entered Profound Sky Sect.” Yuan Tianwen narrowed his eyes.
“If it didn’t involve important matters, then how could the only two reclusive families we currently know about simultaneously come out of isolation?” Duan Yuyang knocked on the tabletop thoughtfully. “It’s unclear whether their purpose is the barrier around the Five Continents or Uncle Lin and Ah Hen.”
“Perhaps both.” Lin Xuanzhi looked at Yan Tianhen, “However, I won’t give them the chance to approach Ah Hen.”
Yan Tianhen blinked, “I really don’t care. They act as though they don’t see me every time I meet them. And I always feel that there is only each other in Liu Zhaoyue and Jian Yunxi’s eyes.”
Lin Xuanzhi thought for a moment. It was indeed like this. “True.”
Duan Yuyang was slightly curious, “I heard that you asked those two reclusive family disciples to clean the courtyard for you? They really didn’t give you any trouble?”
“A portion of my Catching Star Pavilion will be destroyed every day. The two of them probably treat my residence as a training ground.” Lin Xuanzhi replied calmly, “However, I have already made preliminary agreements with them. Both of them will provide double the compensation for whatever they destroy and find a way to restore it to the original state.”
Duan Yuyang’s eyes turned and he was immediately delighted. He patted his thigh, “You are really good. You simply let them keep themselves busy, so you don’t even have to painstakingly arrange any tasks for them. They can find a lot of trouble for themselves.”
Lin Xuan smiled without saying a word.
Yuan Tianwen was originally lost in thought, but he then looked up at Lin Xuanzhi. “Even the reclusive families’ elders couldn’t break through the Five Continents’ barrier. It seems that the Five Continents have indeed been sealed off.”
Lin Xuanzhi nonchalantly stated, “There are always solutions, it’s just that the time isn’t right.”
In his previous life, the Five Continents’ barrier indeed loosened, and Lin Xuanzhi also found a way to break it, but he was already in a soul state at that time, plus he was downhearted and filled with the desire to repair the Revert World Mirror. Naturally, he was too lazy to bother with that.
Everything was different in this life.
Not only did he want to break the Five Continents’ barrier, but he also wanted to take Yan Tianhen with him and slaughter their way back to the Nine Lands to retake everything that used to belong to Yan Tianhen.
Duan Yuyang asked, “Brother Tianwen, is there any elder in the Yuan family about to reach the highest cultivation that the Five Continents can bear?”
Yuan Tianwen shook his head, “The Yuan family’s most powerful elder is still in secluded cultivation. His cultivation before he entered closed-door cultivation was peak Unified Spirit Stage of Profound Realm. In reality, even I don’t know what his realm currently is.”
He glanced at Lin Xuanzhi. “Doesn’t your Lin family also have a First Elder in secluded cultivation right now?”
A dark color flashed through Lin Xuanzhi’s eyes, “I now suspect that First Elder has already fallen.”
His guess was also justified. After all, in his last life, he never saw First Elder leave secluded cultivation, even when the Lin family collapsed.
In this world, only one thing was more important than the collapse of the entire family, which was the critical moment when one made a breakthrough and ascended. However, at that time, there was no sign of anomalies appearing in heaven and earth. Obviously, the First Elder had not yet reached the point where he had to sacrifice the family to fulfill himself. As a result, there was no other excuse except that he had already fallen.
Duan Yuyang sucked in a cold breath of air, “If First Elder really died, then the Lin family will be in turmoil.”
“Yes.” Lin Xuanzhi nodded with slight seriousness, “So none of us need to mention this matter anymore.”
The other people in the room also nodded. With profound meaning, Yuan Tianwen reminded, “You should also plan ahead.”
Lin Xuanzhi sighed, “Naturally.”
The four of them got together again and complained about the Liu and Jian families’ lack of integrity from beginning to end. Most of the time, Yan Tianhen expressed his anger and displeasure.
