Chapter 653 - Sharing Surnames

Edited by Ea

Yin Chongyue said, “After listening to you, it seems that Ah Hen has suffered a lot in it. But it’s also true that when the green-eyed fucker abducted you, he gave a finger to Ah Hen and cut off all his Dantian Qi Sea and meridians. Poor Ah Hen…”

“What did you say?” Lin Xuanzhi was stunned for a moment. He stopped walking along the corridor, his eyes were full of suspicion and ice. “When he was separated from you, his Dantian Qi Sea was destroyed and his meridians were broken!?”

“You don’t know?” Yin Chongyue was a little stunned. He quickly told the whole story and did not dare to hide anything.

“……I don’t know why he insisted that we leave, but after thinking about it, maybe he and that guy had some deal we didn’t know about. But looking at you now, Ah Hen should be okay now, which is also his fortune.”

Yin Chongyue said that, sighed slightly, and then continued, “I am a little curious. How did he survive with such serious injuries alone in the dark night where danger is everywhere, and how did he also repair his Dantian Qi Sea and meridians? Don’t tell me that Bai Yanqiu’s pill really worked so well?”

Lin Xuanzhi’s face was full of dark clouds, and his dark eyes were obviously angry.

Whenever Yan Tianhen mentioned those one hundred years, although he always said how much he suffered and how scared he was, he never really told him about his suffering. Lin Xuanzhi only felt cold from the soles of his feet to his forehead. His brain was blank for a long time before he recovered, and he was almost out of breath.

During this one-hundred years, how did his Ah Hen walk alone and drag his body full of broken bones through the darkness?

He always acted spoiled by bringing up irrelevant wounds and experiences, but never let him see a bit of really visible bone scars. Lin Xuanzhi took a deep breath, and his nails were digging into his palm.

He thought that the punishment for Lian Hua was already heavy enough, but if he’d known that Ah Hen had experienced these things, he would have…

“Are you all right?” Yin Chongyue looked at Lin Xuanzhi, who was emitting cold energy. He felt that the pressure was heavy, which made him almost have the urge to retreat.

Lin Xuanzhi came to his senses and slowly let go of his clenched fists. “I’m okay. You can tell me later what happened to the outside world in the past two years. I still have something to do, so I will take a step first. If there is any matter to discuss, let’s talk about it later.”

Yin Chongyue knew that he was going to look for Yan Tianhen to ask for the truth, so he said very kindly, “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of everything for you, and it doesn’t matter if I can’t take care of things. It won’t matter even if it’s late by three to five days. However, if Ah Hen doesn’t want to say something, don’t push it too hard. He always wants to be strong in front of his sweetheart.”

Lin Xuanzhi came and left in a hurry.

In King Ye’s palace.

The news of Yan Tianhen’s return had already been given to King Ye and his consort by people through the capital. Yan Tianhen had not yet reached the door when he was hugged by You Ming who ran out in a hurry. “You’ve been gone for two or three years.”

You Ming beat Tianhen’s back bitterly and didn’t dare to use too much strength. He simply went through the motions, exerting his anger as a father. “If you son of a bitch still didn’t come out, your father and I will find a way to have another son.”

Yan Tianhen looked heartbroken and sobbed. “Dad, you’re so cruel. Your child is so sad.”

You Ming thumped him again and said, “For a broken sword, you went to such a crazy place. Huarong Sword Immortal is also stupid. Water got into his brain, to actually agree to this. It seems that Huarong Sword Immortal is not very trustworthy either.”

From his words, there was a deep resentment for Lin Xuanzhi.

Although the orthodox Dao blamed King Ye for abducting their Light of Daoism, how could You Ming not complain about Lin Xuanzhi abducting their precious son? At least, if You Ming hadn’t been stopped by Yan Zhonghua, and if Lin Xuanzhi didn’t have some connections with Fuyao Sect, You Ming would have fought his way to the gates of Myriad Dao Academy to ask for an explanation.

When Yan Tianhen heard this, he thought, If I let you know that Lin Xuanzhi is Chang Sheng Sword Venerable, I wonder if you will change your words. Yan Tianhen received a few complaints from You Ming, and was hugged constantly.

You Ming’s eyes were reddish and said, “You lost weight.”

Yan Tianhen pinched his little round face. “Dad, are you serious?”

Seeing this, You Ming couldn’t help but laugh. “Other people can become hemp poles when they suffer hardships. At least, you haven’t changed at all. If I didn’t know better, I would’ve thought you’d gone to enjoy yourself.”

Yan Tianhen also felt wronged. He followed You Ming to the palace and said, “I was born like this, I can’t help it.”

Yan Zhonghua originally went out on business today. When he heard that his son was back, he hurried to return. Seeing Yan Tianhen, Yan Zhonghua only looked at him for a moment, then gently nodded. “It’s good to be back.”

Yan Tianhen said, “When I left the Tomb of Youshan, I already knew a lot about what happened outside. Father and Dad were worried about me. Your child caused you so much trouble.”

Yan Zhonghua raised his hand and rubbed Yan Tianhen’s head. “How can I blame you for these things? There’s not a single day where Yan Zizhang doesn’t want to eradicate the number of his successors before him. The conflict between our King Ye’s residence and orthodox Dao simply gave him an excuse.”

Yan Tianhen frowned slightly. “Just what’s the situation now? My Dage and I have all returned, and we are still alive and kicking. The Dao cultivators should not bother us anymore.”

You Ming sneered scornfully. “Those Dao cultivators are all like-minded bastards who have been cultivating for tens of thousands of years. They are very cunning. Believe it or not, if you announce your relationship with Lin Xuanzhi today, they will send people to make peace with each other tomorrow.”

Yan Tianhen said, “…What if I announced today that I want to share surnames with Lin Xuanzhi?”

You Ming, “…”

Yan Zhonghua, “…”

You Ming and Yan Zhonghua exchanged glances, not speaking.

Yan Tianhen didn’t want to say it so soon. He wanted to bring it up after recounting all these years of adventure. After all, with two people sharing life and death, it was a natural thing for others to accept.

But he didn’t expect that as soon as he opened his mouth, he would say everything. Yan Tianhen was a little nervous.

Even though he could be sure that his and Lin Xuanzhi’s current life was a blessing from a previous life and would never be separated from Lin Xuanzhi because of anyone or anything, but in front of his parents, he was still worried that he would be hindered.

Yan Tianhen swallowed. “Dad, Father, I really love Dage.”

You Ming, “I don’t believe it.”

Yan Tianhen, “…”

You Ming said with earnest heart, “You have been obsessed with Lin Xuanzhi over the years ever since he saved you, and you have made a pretense that you are obsessed with him and don’t want to marry him. I trust when you say that you really love him. What’s more, you follow after me. You and I are a man of one mind. You must be the same as me.”

Yan Zhonghua merely glanced at You Ming.

“But how do you convince me that he also feels the same about you? You think I don’t know?” said You Ming with some heartache. “As soon as you entered Myriad Dao Academy, he came to seduce you, and who knows what he thought? Later, you were accused by the disciples of the sect and were scolded by them. I didn’t see him standing up for you back then. These matters…”

“Your child has never worried about these matters.” Yan Tianhen said with a smile, “Dad, the relationship between me and him can’t be explained in one sentence or two. He and I already knew each other even before he saved me.”

What’s more, the criticism of the Dao cultivators came after they entered the Tomb of Youshan. Lin Xuanzhi and his peers were also trapped inside. How could they speak up for him?

However, the words of the Dao cultivators were indeed ugly. Just from what Yan Tianhen heard, there were such sayings as “serving with his body” and “selling their child for glory.”

After hearing this, Yan Tianhen just felt funny. Was it true that the royal family had fallen to such a state now that even as the second successor to the throne, people still thought he was trying to climb the social ladder when he got together with the Light of Daoism?

In the past few years, the Dao cultivators thought too highly of themselves.

Of course, there was also someone behind the scenes, adding fuel to the flames.

Yan Zhonghua did not react like You Ming did. “Huarong Sword Immortal and I have some interactions. He is indeed a man with a noble heart and lofty spirit. With such a person, I believe Ah Hen will become a better person.”

Yan Tianhen wanted to sigh that his father knew him so well. You Ming rolled his eyes.

“It’s just,” Yan Zhonghua continued, “because Huarong Sword Immortal is not an ordinary person, when you are with him, you will have to bear more pressure from all walks of life and more responsibilities than you can imagine.”

Yan Tianhen looked at Yan Zhonghua and smiled.

He said, “The last thing I fear in my life is pressure and responsibility.”

When he was still Youshan Lingyu, he bore the world’s stigma and shouldered the world’s burden. Until his death, he never received understanding and forgiveness.

Compared with those years when the light was too dark to be seen, now that he had Lin Xuanzhi around, how could he put the pressure brought by those external forces in his eyes? Yan Tianhen then added, “What I fear most is that I don’t have him around me.”

Now that such words had been spoken, Yan Zhonghua felt that there was no need to hinder anything.

Yan Tianhen was obstinate ever since childhood. He wouldn’t turn back once he had decided. Even if he broke his head and cried, he still had to persevere to the end.

I wonder who he resembles. Probably You Ming.

Yan Zhonghua finally let go. “Has he come to the Purple Emperor’s Heavenly Capital with you?”

Yan Tianhen’s eyes lit up, and he nodded hastily. “Of course he came. He treats me very well, putting me first in everything.”

You Ming sniffed out a huff, showing his dissatisfaction.

Yan Zhonghua laughed. “Then I’ll wait for him to visit.”

Yan Tianhen smiled. “Father really loves me.”

“You mean, I don’t?” You Ming grabbed Yan Tianhen’s ear and scolded, “Little child, you lack a conscience. Your father and I have worked so hard to raise this cabbage for so many years, but now a pig came and ate it. But this cabbage is still stupid and even thinks that he won. How could I have given birth to such a silly son?”
