Chapter 76 - It’s a Phoenix (2/2)
Yan Tianhen quickly stuffed this ugly and cute bird back into his clothes and was about to return to the horse he shared with Duan Yuyang when Lin Xuanzhi stopped him.
“Sit in front of me.” Lin Xuanzhi said.
Yan Tianhen stiffened, and only hesitated for a short moment before he obediently turned around and grabbed Lin Xuanzhi’s outstretched hand. Then, he sat back on his old seat.
He moved about a bit uneasily, so Lin Xuanzhi wrapped his arms around him from behind.
Yan Tianhen immediately settled down.
Lin Xuanzhi said to Yang Dongmian, “I want you to swear that you won’t tell anyone that the deaths of those two people are related to the three of us.”
Although Yang Dongmian had just rolled about on the floor talking about how he was better off dead, but evidently, when he had the chance to live he would choose to try his best to stay alive.

Thus, Yang Dongmian immediately straightened three of his fingers and swore to the heavens, “I, Yang Dongmian, swear that I will never tell anyone else about what had happened today! If I were to reveal anything about the three people in front of me, I’ll be struck by lightning and doomed to suffer in hell forever!”
The oath had been made and the contract had been formed; the heavens had mysteriously taken note of this oath.
Lin Xuanzhi nodded, then said, “Yang Dongmian, I have some business I want to do with you, but it won’t be easy. Are you interested?”
“Of course!” Yang Dongmian’s eyes lit up. He got up from the ground, patted away the dust from his clothes and said, “The bigger the deal the better. What does Huarong Sword Immortal want?”
Lin Xuanzhi said, “I want the Thousand Year Winter Silkworm’s frozen soul.”
Yang Dongmian was stunned, then said, “I can get that item, but if Huarong Sword Immortal wants it, it should be easier for you to obtain the Thousand Year Winter Silkworm’s frozen soul directly without using me as a middleman right?”
Lin Xuanzhi narrowed his eyes and looked at Yang Dongmian with an obscure look, then said, “Looks like you do know quite a bit about me.” Yang Dongmian shuddered, then awkwardly chuckled and said, “Actually, I don’t really know much. This isn’t because I’m always staring at Huarong Sword Immortal, but because Huarong Sword immortal is naturally an eye-catching existence so even if I closed my eyes and covered my years, someone would mention you bei~”

Duan Yuyang sighed ruefully, “You’re so good at boot-licking.”
Yang Dongmian broke out into a huge smile and said, “I’m genuinely sincere.”
Duan Yuyang nodded and said, “Boot-licking at its finest.”
Yang Dongmian, “…….”
Where did this person come from? Must he expose him like this?
Yang Dongmian turned around and continued talking to Lin Xuanzhi.
“But of course, if Huarong Sword Immortal has this request, I’m ready to go all out to fulfill Huarong Sword Immortal’s wish as soon as possible.” Yang Dongmian said.

“I want to obtain the Thousand Year Winter Silkworm’s frozen soul within the next seven days.” Lin Xuanzhi held up one finger and said, “I’ll give you this price.”
Yang Dongmian’s face suddenly brightened. His smile was so wide that his eyes had turned into slits as he said, “Don’t worry Sword Immortal, I’ll definitely be able to get you a Thousand Year Winter Silkworm’s frozen soul of the highest quality! But, where do I pass the good to you?”
Lin Xuanzhi said, “I’ll wait for you at Gentlemen’s Approach Inn. When you find it, just head there straight to find me.”
“That’s great.” Yang Dongmian nodded his head.
Gentlemen’s Approach Inn was located right below Profound Sky Sect on the liveliest street in Profound City, so it was pretty convenient for him.
“One more thing.” Lin Xuanzhi said, “You can just call me by my name.”
Huarong Sword Immortal has already become a fragment of the past. Although Lin Xuanzhi was slightly reluctant to part with this alias, but ever since he decided to cultivate the path of the craftsman, he had been destined to never be Huarong Sword Immortal again in this life.
Yang Dongmian took out a Penetrating Clouds Shuttle out from his storage bag, then clasped his hands and said, “Then I’ll take my leave first. Also, Xuanzhi Shixiong, even though there were some people in our sect who let you down, there is still a fraction of us who have always looked forward to your return.”
Lin Xuanzhi’s expression turned stern, then he clasped his hands and said to Yang Dongmian, “Thank you.”
Yang Dongmian was already about 25 metres away.
“Thank you Xuanzhi Shixiong for not killing me!”
After Yang Dongmian left, Duan Yuyang touched his chin and said, “That rascal actually didn’t need to beg us to spare him. He has quite a lot of good stuff on him that’s more than enough to help him escape.”
Lin Xuanzhi, “He probably wanted this bird.”
Duan Yuyang’s line of sight immediately fell onto the bulge in Yan Tianhen’s clothes and said, “Exactly what species is this bird? It had swallowed an earth-level medicinal pill, yet it didn’t exhibit the slightest abnormal reaction to it. I’m afraid it’s not just any ordinary bird.”

“It’s not ordinary, but it’s not a good bird either.” Lin Xuanzhi stretched his hand out and encircled Yan Tianhen from behind, then he grabbed the bird that was moving about in Yan Tianhen’s embrace.
Bald bird, “Ao ao ao chirp!”
Lin Xuanzhi ignored the bald bird’s protest, then said, “There’s a chance that this bird hasn’t digested that earth-level medicinal pill. Why not Ah Hen cut its stomach open to look for that earth-level pill, then you can leave it for yourself to consume next time.”
Yan Tianhen froze for a moment. He looked at the bald bird that had instantly exploded and was crying out shrilly. His heart couldn’t help but soften and said, “Dage, don’t scare it, it’s still very young — it’s only an infant!”
Lin Xuanzhi thought, it’s definitely an infant, but it may not be very young.
Lin Xuanzhi placed this bird on Yan Tianhen’s shoulder.
Bald bird glared at Lin Xuanzhi with its pair of golden red eyes, then angrily spat out a puff of smoke at him.

Duan Yuyang coincidentally saw what had happened and his eyes almost fell out of its sockets, “I saw smoke come out from its mouth!”
“Un, it probably wants to cook itself ba.” Lin Xuanzhi said.
Duan Yuyang, “…….”
Little phoenix, “…….”
Chirp chirp chirp this person is so detestable!
