Chapter 580 - Extremely Smug

However, raising a child was not as casual as raising cats and dogs.

In the end, Lin Xuanzhi still couldn’t help but exhort, “This child looks weak and somewhat introverted. Raising him won’t be any easier than raising me. Since you want to raise him, you should be more concerned about him.”

Lin Zhan like someone had stepped on the tip of his tail. He almost jumped up and pretended to be angry. He said, “Brat, am I your father, or are you my father? When is it your turn to tell me what to do?”

Lin Xuanzhi chuckled, and everything was contained in this chuckle.

Yan Tianhen also laughed, and when he smiled, his face looked even uglier.

It’s just that Lin Xuanzhi did not disdain him for that. He had never felt much about appearances, as if ugliness and beauty were the same in his eyes.

Lin Xuanzhi said, “Since you and I have this fate, why don’t you call me Dage in the future?”

Yan Tianhen’s clear voice called out, “Dage.”

The wind suddenly blew, the waves rose, and the clouds disappeared. The wheels of karmic cause and effect turned, and all kinds of things in the future started from this single call of “Dage”.

..........

Three days later, Little Prince Yan reappeared in the world.

To be precise, he reappeared in the East Courtyard.

Ever since that night when Yan Tianhen went crazy during sword practice and smashed the yard, he had disappeared from the public’s eyes after Gu Ruyu rushed all the way to Sword God Hall to ask for help. All kinds of rumors and speculations had been set off throughout the academy.

Some guessed that Yan Tianhen had been taken back to the Purple Emperor’s Heavenly Capital and would never appear in Myriad Dao Academy again. Some guessed that Yan Tianhen suffered a Qi deviation, and that someone had secretly handled him.

Some people also said that Yan Tianhen became insane because of his emotional injury in his love life, and his whole person became insane.

But no matter whether these speculations were reliable or not, everyone who spread them believed that they were based on evidence.

However, the most exciting and adrenaline-inducing rumor was that Yan Tianhen had already lost his virginity. This news was said to have come from Sword God Hall.

There were a lot of disciples who were on guard watch that night, and when the Sword Saint Tianshu healed Yan Tianhen, those people were also there. Several guards swore that Sword Saint Tianshu had indeed said so.

This was very interesting.

The disciples in the academy were already gossipers, to begin with, but now that the rumors involved the second ranked heir who was the most popular topic in the academy, the disciples all seemed like they had been shot full of chicken blood. They were waiting to watch Little Prince Yan’s drama continue to play out.

Many people secretly said that he must look withered and desolate right now. Others straight-out claimed that he would never dare to show his face again.

Unexpectedly, three days later, Yan Tianhen, who was dressed in the white robe of the East Courtyard, openly returned to the East Courtyard. Because sword practice was in the morning class, Yan Tianhen’s appearance immediately attracted the attention of the entire martial arts training field. There was no haggard appearance, and there was no decline in cultivation.

Yan Tianhen was radiant. He used to be full of energy every day, as if he could fight 300 rounds with others by rolling up his sleeves. Now he looked even more aggressive when he walked. It was estimated that 300 rounds could become 800 rounds.

In full view of the public, Gu Ruyu was the first to end his sword technique and rush over. He looked at Yan Tianhen nervously and asked, “How are you feeling?”

Yan Tianhen smiled and said, “Feels good!”

Gu Ruyu, “....”

Yan Tianhen bared his white teeth and patted Gu Ruyu’s shoulder heavily, saying, “Good brother, thanks to your timely help, otherwise I would still be single right now.”

...Single? Gu Ruyu was silent.

He just wanted to ask Yan Tianhen how his body was, but he didn’t want to know his current relationship status.

Gu Ruyu asked, “Where have you been in the past few days?”

Yan Tianhen said, “I went to Little Penglai and found my Dage. He solved the problem of my reversed Qi flow for me. In the future, I only need to practice 《Decline and Prosperity》again, and there will be no more problems.”

Not only that, he had a furnace constitution, and dual cultivation could get a lot of benefits. No matter whether it was him or Lin Xuanzhi, their cultivation became more consolidated. Yan Tianhen felt that blessings really did follow misfortunes in this world, and it was difficult to make a conclusion until the last moment.

Gu Ruyu nodded and said, “That’s good. I also asked Sword Saint Tianshu later. He said that there should be no problems when practicing《Decline and Prosperity》under normal circumstances.” When he said this, he was stunned and dumbfounded. Looking at Yan Tianhen blankly, he asked, “You just said that you went to Little Penglai to find your Dage — who is your Dage?”

Yan Tianhen said, “Naturally, it’s Huarong Gege.”

Gu Ruyu paused for a moment and then asked, “And you’re no longer single?”

Yan Tianhen laughed, pushed Gu Ruyu’s shoulder, and said, “Why do you say it like that? It’s embarrassing.”

Gu Ruyu was covered in goosebumps. He still could not believe it, and asked in a daze, “So, you and Huarong Sword Immortal?”

Yan Tianhen nodded his head heavily, and said deeply, “The person who was intimate with me before was him. He ran away before, but I caught him this time, so he won’t ever be able to run anymore. Hehehehehehe!”

Gu Ruyu felt that a towering mountain seemed to collapse in front of his eyes.

He turned around, slapped his head, and said to himself, “I must be dreaming. I will talk to you later. Let me digest this for a while.”

Yan Tianhen followed him and comforted him, “Little Yu, I know you have a secret crush on me, but the love between me and my Dage is predestined through three lifetimes. It’s predestined by the Heavens; you don’t have a chance.”

Gu Ruyu suddenly stopped and glared at Yan Tianhen with an expression that screamed, ‘You can kill me, but you cannot humiliate me.’ He said, “Don’t stick gold on your face, like hell I’d like a big devil like you!!”

Yan Tianhen nodded. “How did you know that one of my nicknames is Big Devil?”

Gu Ruyu almost passed out from anger.

Gu Ruyu said in a tone of great regret, “How can a fairy like Huarong Sword Immortal have such bad eyesight? He just had to take a fancy to an improper guy like you. He should probably get his eyes checked.”

Yan Tianhen was immediately unhappy. “This shows that he can see through the phenomenon into the essence. I conquered him with my love and noble character. A human cannot be too superficial or shallow. You can’t think that just because I’m handsome, everyone likes me only due to my face.”

Gu Ruyu, “...”

He decided to not talk to Yan Tianhen for a few days.

Yan Tianhen was a bit crazy on ordinary days. At this time, probably because he finally got his sweetheart and no longer had to worry about being a bachelor, he began to release himself completely and act unrestrained. He even gave up the last layer of faltering face and shame.

Qi Feiqing also heard that Yan Tianhen had reappeared in the mortal world. He didn’t care about his schoolwork anymore and immediately ran over.

As soon as he saw Yan Tianhen, he began to cry out, “My poor Ah Hen ah, which damned person abandoned you? You tell me quickly, I will roll him over a thorny steel plate first, then beat him with an iron brush, and finally cut him to death slice by slice with lingchi, so that this heartless man will never be able to enter the cycle of reincarnation again!”

Gu Ruyu patted Qi Feiqing’s shoulder expressionlessly and said, “Take care.”

Yan Tianhen smiled with curved eyes and said, “Then you’ll have to work hard.”

Qi Feiqing’s expression changed. “The adulterer really exists? Did you find him?”

“Ah Hen.” An elegant voice came from behind, and Yan Tianhen turned to see Lin Xuanzhi.

He suddenly walked over in pleasant surprise and asked, “Why did you leave the island?”

Lin Xuanzhi replied, “I accepted the teaching position for the East Courtyard’s sword practice class. I will come here every fifteen days in the future.”

When Qi Feiqing saw Lin Xuanzhi, his face was about to be suffocated. His eyes had stars in them, and he looked like he had seen his idol.

Gu Ruyu patted Qi Feiqing on the shoulder and said sympathetically, “The adulterer is here.”

Qi Feiqing, “...”

Qi Feiqing’s legs softened, and he sat down on the ground with wide eyes and an open mouth. Then he tightly covered his mouth.

Gu Ruyu gloated with misfortune as he watched Qi Feiqing’s dumbstruck reaction, looking as though he was about to wet his pants in fear. Gu Ruyu sneered twice and felt refreshed. After all, I can’t be the only person who has to suffer being stuffed with dog food every day in the future, right?

Lin Xuanzhi nodded to them and asked with concern, “Is this disciple unwell?”

Qi Feiqing rolled his eyes and fainted.

Gu Ruyu suddenly felt that he had no face. It was still fine even if this boy spoke cruel words behind Lin Xuanzhi’s back and was caught by the man himself. Based on his relationship with Yan Tianhen, Lin Xuanzhi wouldn’t pursue the matter any further. However, Gu Ruyu just didn’t expect for Qi Feiqing to actually faint from fright. It was too humiliating.

Gu Ruyu carried Qi Feiqing on his shoulders and bowed his head. “He has had a flu recently. I will take him down for treatment.”

Lin Xuanzhi said, “Okay. ”

Lin Xuanzhi had something to say to Yan Tianhen in private, so the two walked outside together.

It wasn’t until Lin Xuanzhi walked far that Qi Feiqing opened his eyes, rolled over, and jumped off Gu Ruyu’s back. He wiped away some cold sweat and said, “Ah Hen’s adulterer...No, the guy who took Ah Hen’s virginity, is Huarong Sword Immortal?”

Gu Ruyu chuckled lightly and felt a bit dark and refreshing when Qi Feiqing being a scaredy-cat, and said, “Yes, otherwise, who did you think it would be?”

“No...” Qi Feiqing digested it for a while, then stared at Gu Ruyu and asked, “How can you accept such news so calmly?”

Gu Ruyu nodded reservedly. “Yeah, it’s nothing more than Ah Hen dating Huarong Sword Immortal. What’s to be surprised about?”

Qi Feiqing looked at Gu Ruyu with eyes full of admiration. “You are really cool.”

Gu Ruyu said in his heart, Like hell I’ll tell you that Laozi was so frightened that I almost wet my pants.

Qi Feiqing reluctantly accepted the news, and his IQ gradually returned. He tutted twice and rubbed his chin. “This shouldn’t be ah. Ah Hen has never known Huarong Sword Immortal before. According to him, the first time they met was eight years ago, and they only met each other again after Ah Hen came to Myriad Dao Academy. When did they have time to get together?”

Gu Ruyu hissed, “Don’t guess at things that you have no business guessing. Don’t ask things you have no business asking. Those two are the only people who need to know about their own matters.”

Qi Feiqing nodded,and said in a particularly complicated mood, “To think that of the three of us, the first one to stop being a virgin would actually be Ah Hen. Usually, he seems like the person who would have the least luck in love.”

Gu Ruyu also sighed with emotion.

Lin Xuanzhi and Yan Tianhen walked side by side in the bamboo forest.

Lin Xuanzhi said, “The Xuan Emperor and my Dad have already left the East Land for many days. They are expected to arrive here the day after tomorrow. At that time, you will go with me to meet my Dad.”

Ever since Yan Tianhen witnessed Lin Xuanzhi’s memories in his sea of ​​knowledge, Lin Xuanzhi no longer hid anything from Yan Tianhen.

Although at the beginning, Yan Tianhen felt at a loss as to the many secrets that he suddenly discovered, and it was difficult to explain, but all in all, he slowly digested it. What surprised him most was that Lin Zhan turned out to be Lin Xuanzhi’s biological dad, and Xuan Wushe was his father.

Yan Tianhen nodded. “I haven’t seen Daddy for a long time; I miss him.”

Lin Xuanzhi said, “He misses you too.”

Yan Tianhen suddenly remembered the dream he had entered when he made a breakthrough in cultivation realms and couldn’t stop frowning. “Dage, do you know that Daddy is pregnant?”

Lin Xuanzhi nodded. “I know, Dad has told me before.”

Yan Tianhen paused, then turned his head to gaze at Lin Xuanzhi. “What does Dage think? Adoptive father still doesn’t know of your existence. If they have another kid, it will be even more difficult for him to remember Dage.”

Yan Tianhen had already changed his form of address and returned to calling Lin Xuanzhi “Dage.” It’s just that when they were in public, the two didn’t want to let people see through their relationship for the time being, so they still had reservations about the form of address.

Lin Xuanzhi said lightly, “If he doesn’t remember, then he doesn’t remember. What’s the problem with that?”
