Chapter 189 - Blood Red Cliff Convocation (1/2)

When Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue saw Yan Jin, they were both shocked.

Yan Jin’s aura was cold, one that kept others from approaching him. Compared to when Meng Chuan left the mountain three years ago, Yan Jin’s aura was much colder. Even Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue found it somewhat uncomfortable.

“You came. Come on in,” said Yan Jin.

The two entered and entered a hall. The three of them sat down.

“Yan Jin, look at you. You look like an ice block,” said Meng Chuan with a smile. “Don’t go astray with your cultivation.”

Yan Jin looked at Meng Chuan without saying a word.

“Hahaha.” Meng Chuan immediately changed the topic after being stared at. “Right, Qiyue and I are already married. It happened about a year ago.”

“Congratulations.” Yan Jin looked at the two of them.

“It’s a pity you haven’t left the mountain.” Meng Chuan sighed.

“Quickly, have a child,” Yan Jin said.

Meng Chuan was taken aback, but Liu Qiyue smiled brightly and said, “I’ve discussed it with Ah Chuan. When we settle down in a safer environment, the two of us will have a child.”

“Teach your children well after you give birth,” said Yan Jin.

“Don’t worry. I’ll teach him well.” Meng Chuan rea.s.sured Yan Jin. I’ll teach him saber arts personally.” He then asked, “Yan Jin, why are you so terse now?”

Yan Jin ignored his question. He had already tried his best to say as much as he could.

“Yan Jin, after we have a child, why don’t you be our child’s G.o.dfather,” Liu Qiyue said with a smile.

“Alright.” Yan Jin nodded, his eyes turning gentler. He had recalled the past.

“How’s your cultivation?” asked Meng Chuan. Yan Jin was too obstinate in his cultivation. In reality, Yan Jin was very talented. Despite having an Essence Soul and high cultivation efficiency, Yan Jin was not slower than him before they came to Archean Mountain. In fact, Yan Jin was a few months younger than him.

“It will take months to a few years before I can leave the mountain,” said Yan Jin.

“Are you aware of what happened off the mountain in the past year?” asked Meng Chuan.

“I know.” Yan Jin nodded. “It’s a pity that I can’t go down the mountain to kill demons.” Since he had mastered a transcendent-grade G.o.dfiend Body and a Black Metal Sutra, his Nine Mystical Caves test was naturally much harder.

…

Meng Chuan and Yan Jin chatted with each other. Although Yan Jin had become a man of few words, he tried his best to speak more. He hadn’t said as much in the past three years than what he said to the couple today.

After chatting for about two hours, Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue left.

Yan Jin sent them out the door.

As the couple departed amidst the snow, Yan Jin watched silently for a long time before returning to his cave abode.

That night, another person came to visit Yan Jin.

“Seventh Brother, Seventh Brother.” Xue Feng wanted to hug Yan Jin excitedly, but Yan Jin took a step back.

“What is it?”

“I kept having missions and was unable to return.” Xue Feng smiled as he looked at Yan Jin. “Only after so many G.o.dfiends were sent back could I finally come back to visit you. Why have you become so silent? Your cultivation has made you turn cold. Back then, I told you not to cultivate the Icefire Seven Absolutes. The creator of this Black Metal Sutra was emotionless.”

“I’m doing good,” Yan Jin said.

“Alright then, there is quite a number in history that managed to cultivate the Icefire Seven Absolutes to a certain level of profundity. Furthermore, this Black Metal Sutra mentions that although one is to be emotionless, one needs to have extreme emotion…” Xue Feng said.

Yan Jin listened to his fifth brother’s chatter silently. Only his fifth brother treated him well when he was young.

“Fifth Brother, how have you been all these years?” Yan Jin finally asked.

“Same old? Killing demons and cultivating,” said Xue Feng with a smile. “What I’m most vexed about is the Essence Soul. I haven’t been able to condense an Essence Soul. If I can condense an Essence Soul, I will be conferred the t.i.tle of marquis! Many powerful Regis G.o.dfiends in history were conferred the t.i.tle of marquis in their thirties. I’m already 37.”

Yan Jin stared at him. In terms of cultivation progress, Yan Jin was much slower than him.

Xue Feng smiled awkwardly and immediately said, “Right, I brought you some gifts.” With that said, he took out a gift from his bag.
