Chapter 331 (1/2)

Lin Xuanzhi glanced at Feng Jingyu, “What is the Azure Flame Order?”

Feng Jingyu explained, “The Scarlet Kill Order is a kill order. One has to return with the target’s soul or head back to complete it. The Azure Flame Order is just the opposite: it only wants the target’s whereabouts but not their life, and it even has some protective intentions. If you find the whereabouts, but the target is dead, then not only will there be no money, but perhaps the employer might also take your life in a fit of anger.”

Lin Xuanzhi pondered on this, “I see.”

Feng Jingyu leaned over, “Why did you suddenly ask about the 《Teal Lotus Nine Styles》? Don’t tell me that your dad really stole this secret manual?”

Lin Xuanzhi’s heart was startled but he told Feng Jingyu expressionlessly, “Could it be that you’ve already suspected that my father had stolen it earlier?”

Feng Jingyu blurted out, “This isn’t a question of whether I suspect him or not. Everyone in the Nine Lands knows that Lin Zhan put a giant green hat on that one’s head in the Xuan clan and stole the secret manual, running away with someone else. However, that person has never come forward to clarify, so no one is sure of the truth.”

Lin Xuanzhi’s eyes flashed a dark light, “My biological father is a member of the Xuan clan in the East Kingdom?”

Feng Jingyu was suddenly shocked and he jumped around while scolding, “Your mother! You actually set up Laozi’s words! Too shameless! When you go out, don’t tell others I said this, or else you’ll never see the last of me!”

After roaring that, Feng Jingyu flapped his wings and immediately flew out.

Although there had been rumors in the Nine Lands that Lin Zhan had put a green hat on Xuan Wushe’s head, one glance at Lin Xuanzhi’s face would prove that he was Xuan Wushe’s biological son.

Lin Xuanzhi clenched his fist, his expression a bit ugly.

The 《Teal Lotus Nine Styles》, the lotus flower imprint in Lin Zhan’s body, and Feng Jingyu’s words just now all implied the ident.i.ty of his other father.

Xuan clan.

Lin Xuanzhi never imagined that his father would be a member of the Xuan clan, the clan that formerly ruled the Nine Lands’ Royal Heavenly Capital.

Moreover, Feng Jingyu dared not even call his name directly, only calling him “that person”, which was enough to show the status of “that person.” He was so supreme that even his name was taboo.

Lin Xuanzhi felt a mix of joy and sorrow.

He was happy because if he really was the Sovereign of the East Kingdom, maybe Lin Zhan wouldn’t have any worries about his life and wouldn’t be bullied over there.

What worried him was — what the h.e.l.l was the deal with Lin Zhan putting a green hat on that one and then eloping with another person? No ruler, or in other words, no man could tolerate being seen as a cuckold husband by others. It was a great shame! He was certain that Lin Zhan had indeed ran away and stolen the 《Teal Lotus Nine Styles》, but being unfaithful to him…it was hard to say.

Lin Xuanzhi felt a headache coming. He imagined what he would do with Ah Hen after catching him back if Yan Tianhen was unfaithful to him and eloped with someone else. Lin Xuanzhi became slightly relieved when he finally figured it out.

Just keep him in captivity.

If you hit him, you’ll feel distressed. If you kill him, that’s just impossible. So it would be best to just lock him up for a few years so that he had no temper left. And while you’re at it, kill the adulterer too.

Hence, even though Lin Xuanzhi had never seen his biological father before, he was unexpectedly synchronized with his own father’s thoughts.

…………

Lin Xuanzhi was actually very rich, though he had never said anything about it to Yan Tianhen. Since he returned from Sky Peak City, the business of crafting magic treasures had never stopped. Most of the disciples of those aristocratic families were also rich and were willing to sell Lin Xuanzhi a favor. Therefore, no one asked to cut down Lin Xuanzhi’s price nor would they back off on sending the remaining money.

However, Lin Xuanzhi’s cash flow had been moving at a fast rate. Both his earnings and expenditure were on par, causing him to not be able to save any money.

Yan Tianhen originally had a lot of money, which had all been stored in the treasure card given to him by Lin Xuanzhi’s third Elder Martial Sister. However, after sc.r.a.ping together all of the things that Esteemed Huai Yu wanted, Yan Tianhen had yet again become a poor man.

Coming out of the bank, Yan Tianhen looked morosely at Lin Xuanzhi, “Dage, I have only 300 pieces of gold left.”

Lin Xuanzhi patted Yan Tianhen’s head, “Don’t be sad. At least you still have 300 pieces of gold. I only have one-tenth of yours.”

“…”

Yan Tianhen asked, “How did this happen?”

Lin Xuanzhi explained, “When your expenses exceed your earnings, no matter how much money you have, it wouldn’t be able to handle your expenditures.”

Yan Tianhen sniffed, “Can there be any worse news?”

“Yes.” Lin Xuanzhi nodded, “I still owe the bank ten million gold.”

Yan Tianhen was completely shocked. He suspected that he was dreaming now. However, Lin Xuanzhi’s following words completely woke him up from his dreams–

“The interest is 10,000 gold a day.” Lin Xuanzhi continued, “Furthermore, this interest is the preferential interest that Uncle Su helped me attain. Without Uncle Su, the interest would be 50,000 pieces of gold each day.”

With a cry of grief, Yan Tianhen nearly fainted and he said bitterly, “Oh my G.o.d, what a huge sum of money, just kill me.”

Lin Xuanzhi spoke soothingly, “It’s alright. We’ll slowly pay it back.”

The businesses under his name had a large daily income, which was enough to support the repayment of debts and basic operations. On top of that, Lin Xuanzhi’s most profitable businesses were not those displayed on the surface.

Yan Tianhen, who had tears streaming down his face, looked at Lin Xuanzhi, “Dage, are there any profitable tasks within the sect at the moment? Let’s go find a quest to do quickly.”

Lin Xuanzhi chuckled, “How much will you be able to earn like that? I’m not saying this to make you feel burdened and stressed. Sooner or later, we’ll be able to earn the money. I was just afraid that you’d be paranoid and accuse me of not letting you know of the situation and excluding you from it. ”

Yan Tianhen trembled, “No, Dage, I now think that my heart may not be able to bear it well. It is better for you to exclude me from such things in the future. Please don’t tell me.”

Lin Xuanzhi, “….”
