Chapter 85 - The Perpetrator (2/2)
“I do have that intention. But, I don’t know if those people in Profound Sky Sect would come up with any more crooked ideas.” The edges of Lin Xuanzhi’s lips curved up, then he said, “In fact, I might not even be able to find a master.”
When Bei Cangmo saw Lin Xuanzhi’s face that was devoid of gloom, he couldn’t help but be at ease as he said, “Don’t worry. If no one is willing to accept you, then I’ll reluctantly accept you as my disciple ba.”
Lin Xuanzhi couldn’t help but laugh and said, “Then I’ll have to bother Shixiong.”
Bei Cangmo looked at Lin Xuanzhi with an unfathomable expression, then said, “The path of a craftsman is filled with obstacles and danger. It’ll be better if Shidi doesn’t let too many people discover that you currently lack the ability to protect yourself.”
The Soul Bead within Lin Xuanzhi’s consciousness called out, and said in an old and comforting tone, “Rascal, looks like your affinity with people isn’t as bad as I thought. There are still those pitifully few people who truly care about you, and the one in front of you right now doesn’t seem too bad.”
The reason Lin Xuanzhi’s identity as a craftsman hasn’t been discovered by other cultivators so far isn’t because he had used some technique to conceal his Qi, but because Soul Bead had been helping him restrain the craftsman soulfire within his body.
As such, in the eyes of other cultivators, Lin Xuanzhi was merely an ordinary person.
Of course, when Lin Xuanzhi needed to let a select few people know about his actual condition now and then, he would allow Soul Bead to release a bit of his soulfire’s Qi.
Which is why Bei Cangmo could sense Lin Xuanzhi’s distinctive Qi the moment they met.
Lin Xuanzhi agreed with Bei Cangmo. He nodded and said, “I’m only letting Shixiong know, so that Shixiong won’t worry.”
As for the others, they didn’t have the right to know yet as of now.
After Bei Cangmo received a summons from his sect, he couldn’t stay for much longer. He casted a glance at the wreckage on the floor and said, “My duties at the sect have been quite heavy these few days, so I won’t be able to escort you back personally. Take extra care, and when you want to leave, let me know in advance so that I can send you out of Profound city myself.”
Lin Xuanzhi nodded and said gratefully, “Much thanks to Bei Shixiong.”
Bei Cangmo waved his hand and said, “You’re my Shidi, you don’t need to be so courteous.”

When he finished speaking, Bei Cangmo jumped out of the window and disappeared from sight within the blink of an eye.
Yan Tianhen looked at the window and said, “Dage, this Shixiong of yours must not have been very obedient when he was a kid.”
Lin Xuanzhi asked out of curiosity, “Why do you say that?”
Yan Tianhen said, “He’s so smooth and skilled at jumping out of a window; it must have been because his family didn’t allow him to go outside to play and locked him up in his room, so he had to hone his jumping-out-of-the-window skills in order to run out and have fun.”
Lin Xuanzhi, “…….”
Lin Xuanzhi looked at Yan Tianhen and said, “How do you know all that?”
“Cause I’m the same ah.” Yan Tianhen sighed.

Lin Xuanzhi smiled and knocked on Yan Tianhen’s head, then said, “Have you ever been caught?”
Yan Tianhen proudly said, “Not even once!”
Lin Xuanzhi said, “That’s just cause Dad turned a blind eye to it and didn’t want to scold you.”
With Lin Zhan’s cultivation level, he must have sensed his disappearance the moment Yan Tianhen jumped out of the window.
Yan Tianhen was stunned, then said in shock, “I thought Daddy never knew.”
“How could Daddy not have known? His cultivation level isn’t low after all.”
Lin Xuanzhi let out a faintly discernible sigh and thought that he didn’t even know if it was a good or bad thing for his dad to have spoiled Yan Tianhen this much.

However, after they came to Profound Sky Sect, Yan Tianhen’s happy days were about to be over.
When Duan Yuyang heard about how they had been ambushed and were almost poisoned to death after he returned, he was instantly enraged.
He immediately dragged Yan Tianhen downstairs to look for the inn’s boss and roared at him fiercely.
“Honourable me chose your shop precisely because this place promised to safeguard our safety. Now that someone actually tried to poison us under broad daylight, your inn must properly account for it!”
The inn’s boss wasn’t someone who had a good temper either. He saw how Duan Yuyang’s dressing and accessories seemed to scream that he was rich, coupled with the fact that he had never seen such a person in Profound city before, so a feeling of contempt arose in his heart.
“I’ve opened this Gentlemen’s Approach Inn in Profound city for god knows how many years. For you to have encountered such an incident is all thanks to your bad luck, you must have offended someone you weren’t supposed to.” The inn’s boss said haughtily.
Duan Yuyang was so angry his mouth almost turned crooked. He had a very unique characteristic — in that he cherishes life and absolutely fears death. If it wasn’t because he had seen the words “responsible for the safety of all guests in the room” written clearly on the contract for this Gentlemen’s Approach Inn’s Heaven One room, he definitely wouldn’t have spent so much money to stay here!
Duan Yuyang said, “Stop spouting your fucking nonsense. You either refund honourable me’s money, or dig that killer’s employer out of his burrow. Or else, honourable me won’t let you off easily!”
The boss laughed coldly, then said with disdain, “You won’t let me off? Why not you go inquire into the family business that backs our Gentlemen’s Approach Inn!”
“I really haven’t heard of your backer before.” Duan Yuyang narrowed his eyes and said, “And now I do want to know which family raised a rabid dog like you who would bite everyone in sight without knowing what’s good for you!”
“You little bastard, you actually dare to humiliate me?! Today, I, Yuan Dacheng, will let you have at taste of my strength!”
The inn’s boss revealed a ferocious look. He raised his hand and slammed his fist down on Duan Yuyang. Duan Yuyang was startled by his sudden attack, but immediately took out a talisman and threw it at the inn’s boss’ fist. After it exploded, Yuan Dacheng’s fist was injured. He cried out in anger and unsheathed the knife at his waist, then roared at the thugs in his inn, “Take him down!” Several people thus rushed towards Duan Yuyang with the intention of killing him.
Yan Tianhen then ran upstairs and shouted as he ran, “Dage, they wanna kill us! They wanna kill us!”
When two of the thugs saw this, they immediately rushed after him from behind.

Lin Xuanzhi had been meditating in the room and didn’t know that Yan Tianhen and Duan Yuyang actually went downstairs to cause trouble for the inn’s boss. And thus, when Yan Tianhen was kicked into the room, Lin Xuanzhi flew into a rage within an instant!
