Lin Xuanzhi’s heart surged with uncontrollable excitement while Yan Tianhen’s eyes instantly turned bloodshot and seemed to be on the verge of crying.

“If Daddy was still alive, then that would really be great.” Yan Tianhen said as he wiped his eyes, “I miss Daddy so much…”

Lin Xuanzhi hugged Yan Tianhen and said to Su Mo, “Many thanks to Senior for telling us about this.”

Even though it was just a guess, at least they had something to look forward to now.

Also, whenever Su Mo spoke, it always seemed like he was concealing half the truth. There was a chance that he knewof some secret art that could help Lin Zhan escape or feign his death, but due to certain reasons, he could not speak of it right now.

Lin Xuanzhi’s heart was full of joy. This trip of his was really worth it, it was extremely worth it!

At this moment, Yuan Tianwen knocked the door and walked in.

His face was a white as a sheet as he said to Su Mo, “Dad, someone just sent us a message: Yuan Dacheng was killed on the road.”

“How did he die?” Su Mo’s expression changed slightly as he asked.

Yuan Tianwen moved out of the way. One of his subordinates said ashamedly, “Someone directly went head to head with us and hit him with one stream of Qi which took his life.”

“With just one stream of Qi?!” Su Mo’s face was filled with astonishment.

He need not ask if they had caught the murderer anymore. Someone who could kill with just one stream of Qi is definitely at least an earth-level realm expert. Looks like he had let his guard down too much.

Su Mo looked at Lin Xuanzhi, narrowed his eyes, and said, “Nephew Xuanzhi, looks like you have indeed offended a very strong person.”

Lin Xuanzhi was also shocked. He had thought that this incident was at most linked to Du Qiying, but to be able to kill someone who was in the hands of Su Mo’s men so easily … this was definitely not something that someone of Du Qiying’s level could do.

Lin Xuanzhi said, “Looks like we can’t stay in Profound city any longer.”

Su Mo nodded, “What about this, I’ll immediately dispatch some men to escort you guys back.”

Lin Xuanzhi looked at Su Mo, “Then I’ll have to trouble Senior Su.”

Su Mo said to Yuan Tianwen, “Escort them back personally.”

Han Yuran pulled on Yuan Tianwen’s hand and said, “Tianwen Ge will be bringing me up the mountains in the next few days to find a master.”

Su Mo’s brows immediately furrowed slightly, then said, “Everything has its own order of urgency. I can take you up the mountains to find a master. People will definitely need to give me more face than Yuan Tianwen.”

Yuan Tianwen comforted him, “Don’t worry Yuran, I’ll be back soon.”

Han Yuran could only nod, but when he looked at Duan Yuyang he whispered, “Stay away from him, he has other intentions towards you.” Duan Yuyang only casted a brief glance at him then turned away expressionlessly.

Yuan Tianwen felt awkward and frowned without replying Han Yuran.

In order to speed up their return journey, Lin Xuanzhi and Yan Tianhen both rode one horse each, while Yuan Tianwen and Duan Yuyang shared a ride on the penta-coloured crane.

On the road, Yuan Tianwen said, “Yuyang, it was my fault for not treating the matter of you and Duan second elder paying our family a visit seriously. I hope you can forgive me for that.”

Duan Yuyang’s heart was filled with sorrow. He had always liked this little Gege who had never been impatient with him ever since he was a kid. When he had grown up, he had wanted to become a Dao couple with him and accompany him by his side for as long as he lived.

He had plucked up the courage to visit the Yuan family by himself, and like an innocent fool, he told the smiling Su Mo and Yuan Zheng that he was willing to marry Tianwen Gege and become his wife.

But Yuan Tianwen rejected him without a second thought.

Su Mo was also extremely embarrassed as he personally escorted the downcast Duan Yuyang back to the Duan family.

Afterwards, he had given up on his feelings for a long time; but when he coincidentally bumped into Yuan Tianwen who was suffering from a Qi deviation and a loss of sight in both his eyes, his expectations were rekindled once again…

“I’ve gotten over it now.” Duan Yuyang squinted his eyes and touched the feathers of the penta-coloured crane, then said, “The fact that I adore you has nothing to do with you. All you’ve done is like someone other than me, it’s not like you did anything wrong. In any case, feelings aren’t something we can control.”

When he heard Duan Yuyang’s words, for some reason, Yuan Tianwen felt like his heart was being crushed by a rock that was as heavy as a thousand gold.

Yuan Tianwen looked at Duan Yuyang’s face that overlapped with the one in his memories. He couldn’t help but think: actually, the feelings that Duan Yuyang had given him during this period were similar to what he had felt during the time he spent with his saviour — comfortable, unrestrained, he could do whatever he wanted, and with just one blink of his eyes, the other party would know what he was thinking.

As for Han Yuran…it’s not that Yuan Tianwen didn’t have any doubts about him, but he had no way of questioning him openly.

Yuan Tianwen had escorted Lin Xuanzhi and gang out of Profound city, and when they were nearing Qing city’s boundary, he had completed his mission and could return through the path where they had come from.

“Dage, I thought that Yuan young peak master would escort us all the way back home.” After Yuan Tianwen left, Lin Xuanzhi and Yan Tianhen naturally shared one horse. It was similar to their arrangement when they were on their way to Profound city. Yan Tianhen was sitting in front of Lin Xuanzhi and blinked his eyes as he asked.

Lin Xuanzhi said, “It wasn’t easy for him to have sent us this far . Also, it’s not like Yuan young peak master owes us anything.”

Yan Tianhen rubbed his nose, looked at Duan Yuyang, and said, “Dage, why do I keep feeling like Yuyang Ge has turned into a completely different person.”

“How?”

“Shrivelled up figure, soulless eyes, despondent look, better dead than alive.”

“Those who are brokenhearted are all like that.” Lin Xuanzhi said.

“Wei wei wei, both of you, that’s enough.” Duan Yuyang rolled his eyes exaggeratedly at these siblings who were bad mouthing him then said, “I’m not brokenhearted, honourable me is–”

He hadn’t finished speaking when Duan Yuyang suddenly narrowed his eyes and threw out three talismans in succession. An explosion rang out and a few masked sword cultivators surrounded the three of them.

Lin Xuanzhi shot them a cold look and said, “Who sent you?”

The man in black who was in the lead let out a strange laugh, then said, “Lin Xuanzhi, you can only blame yourself for hindering others so someone doesn’t want you to return to the Lin family alive!”
