Han Yuran looked like he was finally at ease, then hurriedly covered Yuan Tianwen’s mouth as he pretended to be angry and said, “Don’t utter such scary words so easily.”
Yuan Tianwen hugged Han Yuran and lifted him off his feet, then happily twirled him around a few times. He was so happy he looked like a fool.
Inside the room, Su Mo stood in front of the window with his eyebrows slightly furrowed. He looked at the Han Yuran and Yuan Tianwen who had the audacity to hug so openly in the middle of his yard.
A tall and handsome man stood behind him. He wrapped his arms around him and placed his chin on Su Mo’s shoulder, then rolled his eyes and said with dissatisfaction, “Why is it that the more I look at that rascal, the more I think that there’s some problem with him?”

Su Mo casted a glance at him with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes, then said, “I don’t know if he has a problem, but I know that you definitely have a problem.”
Yuan Zheng stared at Su Mo and said, “What’s wrong with me?”
“Aren’t you unhappy because you’re thinking that the cabbage you had raised with your blood, sweat and tears had been ruined by a pig?” Su Mo said buoyantly.
Yuan Zheng rolled his eyes, then hugged Su Mo and shook him from side to side unhappily.
“Yeah, the darling son that I painstakingly raised while cleaning up his shit and pee has never even been bullied before. Yet he’s ruined by this kind of pig now…the Duan family’s kid is so much more interesting, why doesn’t that bastard son of mine want him?” Yuan Zheng complained.
“Oh come on, it’s not like you’re the one getting married. Our son is the one getting married. Don’t meddle too much.” Su Mo lightly tapped on Yuan Zheng’s forehead, then said, “If you don’t want to see him then don’t see him ba. In any case, I’ve already met him on your behalf. If the old Yuan family had relied solely on you for support, it would have probably fallen a long time ago.”
“That’s why I’m relying on you ma~” Yuan Zheng was a big man who wasn’t afraid of being made fun of by others. He was actually acting like a spoiled child to Su Mo.

Su Mo sighed, then said, “What sin have I committed…for me to fall into such a huge pit.”
“The moment you fell in, you can’t ever get out~”
“Forget it, I’ll just treat it as accumulating virtue and doing a good deed ba.”
The spiritual Qi in Gentleman’s Approach Inn’s Sky Room One was indeed rich; in the span of one night, both Yan Tianhen and Duan Yuyang had reaped quite a lot of benefits.
The next morning, Lin Xuanzhi and gang had just finished breakfast. Duan Yuyang then swaggered out of the room to go shopping on the streets.
On the other hand, Lin Xuanzhi and Yan Tianhen chatted in the room as they waited for Yang Dongmian.
Not long after, a visitor came to their door.
At the sight of Lin Xuanzhi, Yang Dongmian smiled and said, “Lin Shixiong, I’ve gotten you what you wanted.”
Lin Xuanzhi’s eyes lit up, then said, “Hurry and take a seat.”
Yang Dongmian took out a turquoise bottle and placed it on the table, then said, “Shixiong, check it and see if it’s the item you requested for.”
Lin Xuanzhi picked up the bottle and opened its lid. A completely pure white Thousand-Year-Old Winter Silkworm’s frozen soul the size of his thumb was lying quietly at the bottom of the bottle. Lin Xuanzhi could even feel its coldness on his hands through the walls of the bottle.
This truly is a good item. It was authentic through and through.
Lin Xuanzhi gripped the bottle tightly, then closed it and said to Yang Dongmian, “Thank you very much. What does the cultivator who’s selling this Winter Silkworm’s frozen soul want in exchange?”
Lin Xuanzhi had a good understanding of how Yang Dongmian does business. The first type of transaction was where both parties would reach an agreement beforehand and pass their items to Yang Dongmian at the same time, then complete the transaction at his place.

We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
While the other type was where one party would receive the item they requested for first, then offer an item in exchange according to the other party’s request.
The second type of situation usually occurs when the party who first offers the item doesn’t want the other party to know who they are.
Yang Dongmian said awkwardly, “Lin Shixiong, the other side only has one request, and that is to meet you.”
Lin Xuanzhi was slightly surprised. He said, “They want to see the buyer, or me?”
Yang Dongmian laughed bitterly and said, “That Shixiong said that the only other person who knows that he has this in his hands other than his younger brother, is you.”
Lin Xuanzhi nodded and said, “I see.”
Yan Tianhen looked at Lin Xuanzhi, then tugged on his sleeve and said, “Dage, do you have any feud with him?”

“I don’t, it’s just that…” Lin Xuanzhi felt a bit conflicted.
“Dage, if you don’t want to see him, then don’t ba. Let’s not take this item.” Yan Tianhen said.
“Nonsense.” Lin Xuanzhi casted a glance at Yan Tianhen and lightly tapped on his nose, then said to Yang Dongmian, “When do we meet?”
Yang Dongmian quickly said, “In awhile ba. After I send him a message, he’ll come down here.”
Lin Xuanzhi nodded and said, “Then I’ll have to trouble you.”
He had intended to bring Yan Tianhen out to shop, but since an old friend was coming, Lin Xuanzhi could only wait in the room.
After Yang Dongmian sent the message, he pulled a stool over and sat down. He felt puzzled as he asked Lin Xuanzhi, “There’s a question that I’ve always been wondering about. The two of you are fellow sect disciples, and your relationship with him isn’t bad, so why didn’t you approach him yourself and instead asked me to be the middleman?”
Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.
Lin Xuanzhi smiled but didn’t answer, and instead asked another question, “Have you thought of your explanation for the whereabouts of the earth-level Return Yuan Sky pill to your buyer?”
Yang Dongmian suddenly broke down. He placed his hand on his chest and wailed in agony, “Ahhhhh fuck that, I’m not even worth as much as that pill if I were to sell myself. Why not you give me the bird and I’ll use it to account for the pill?”
“The bird?” Yan Tianhen held his cheek and took out the bald bird from his chest and said regretfully, “I think it’s dead.”
The bald bird’s eyes were shut tight. Both its legs were as straight as a rod and its whole body looked stiff, its wings were tightly clamped shut as well. One look at it and you’d think that it was dead.
Yang Dongmian was so startled he almost jumped. He patted his chest, then wailed, “Lin Shixiong, do you think our Profound Sky Sect’s mountain protection array is reliable and sturdy enough?”
“Well, it is reliable, and sturdy. But I do want to ask, the alchemist that you said used ten years to refine that earth-level medicinal pill wouldn’t happen to be Zhong Lishen ba?”
When Yang Dongmian heard that name, he almost fell off his stool. He looked around in horror and nervously said, “Lin Shixiong, you can’t say that name so easily, it’s very spooky!”
Yan Tianhen asked, “How is it spooky?”
Yang Dongmian said seriously, “When I was a kid, as long as I said that name while I cursed someone he would definitely appear behind me.”
