Lin Xuanzhi said, “Master need not see that kind of ant, the sight of him would only dirty your eyes. Why not Master hand him over to Xuanzhi to deal with, it would save some trouble for the law enforcement hall as well.”
Even if Lin Xuanzhi said that he wants to be the Lin family’s young master right now, Fifth elder would probably agree, not to mention such a small request? Fifth elder waved his sleeves and said, “Whatever pleases you.”
Lin Xuanzhi said, “Thank you, Master.”

Fifth elder calmed down, then sized Lin Xuanzhi up and said, “You must have been startled today, go back and take a good rest. I’ll look for you to have a nice, long chat in a few days.”
Lin Xuanzhi nodded and said, “Xuanzhi obeys.”
Fifth elder was even more satisfied with this genial and polite Xuan grandson of his, and his satisfaction spilled over to that troublesome kid that Lin Zhan had adopted.
“Your Didi Yan Tianhen is a loyal one who knows how to repay others’ graces, I’ll reward him with one top-grade Recuperate Yang pill.”
Top-grade Recuperate Yang pill!
That’s a profound-level medicinal pill that was worth at least 10 000 gold, and it’s a treasure that can’t be easily obtained even if you have the money!
If at this time someone was still unable to tell how much Master favoured Lin Xuanzhi, then there’s probably something wrong with his brain.

There were quite a few people below who were secretly surprised and envious— why didn’t they give Lin Xuanzhi some Five Yuan rice when he was down and out?
Didn’t they just need to follow behind Lin Xuanzhi everyday and grovel before him to be his cow and horse? Taking care of him for ten days or half a month is something they could do too!
That ugly idiot Yan Tianhen was really fortunate!
Lin Xuanzhi accepted the medicinal pill bottle, then solemnly said, “Xuanzhi thanks Master on behalf of Jiadi.”
Fifth elder waved his hand, then disappeared on the spot.
Lin Xuanzhi kept the medicinal pill bottle into his storage bag, then pinched a forged stone to lightly float down to the platform below.
It was only when he had disappeared from the law enforcement hall before those who were kneeling dared to stand up.
The crowd looked at each other in dismay and a fearful look appeared on their faces.
Lin Zezhi’s face had turned pale, and in a place where no one else could see, he clenched his fist so tightly that his nail that dug deep down into his palm squeezed out some viscous liquid.
Bai Susu had not settled down from her panicked state. The envy on her face could not be concealed as she bit down hard on her lower lip and said, “That trash, how could he have become a craftsman?”
“Craftsman…” Lin Yurou furrowed her brows and looked at the golden words that were still shining on the warning pillars, then said, “Don’t tell me Xuanzhi Tangxiong is really the one selected by our old ancestor?”
“He might be.” Someone else said.

And there was someone who patted his chest, then heaved a long sigh and said, “Luckily I didn’t throw stones at Lin Xuanzhi when he was down, or else today, I wouldn’t be able to sleep peacefully at night.”
This sentence made quite a few people who were present tighten their nerves一一 they began to try and recall whether or not they had badmouthed Lin Xuanzhi. They had definitely talked about him quite a bit behind his back, but doing it in front of him was another matter altogether.

“Whatever I’ve said before doesn’t count. You guys better not slander me, I’ll definitely not admit it.”
“Pei, just awhile ago you were saying that Xuanzhi Tangxiong is a good-for-nothing, and even said that he’s in this state today because he had reaped what he had sown…wuwu, what are you covering my mouth for?”
“Stop trying to sow discord here, I definitely didn’t say something like that!”
“You even said that Xuanzhi Tangxiong deserved it!”
“Pei pei pei, shut your smelly mouth. Xuanzhi Tangxiong is like a dragon that was cooped up in a shallow creek — he had just been temporarily trapped, what kind of nonsense are you spouting.”
Lin Zezhi heard the lively conversation that went on around him as everyone was afraid that they had offended Lin Xuanzhi in the past, and were worried that Lin Xuanzhi would bear grudges against them. He didn’t feel too good about all this racket.
It wasn’t easy for him become the center of attention in the Lin family. Why is it that Lin Xuanzhi had just shown his face today as a craftsman, and he would need to return to being a side prop again!

Lin Zezhi was about to go crazy with envy. His fists were clenched so tightly his joints cracked一 sooner or later, he will make these people regret trying to flatter Lin Xuanzhi today.
Yan Tianhen stood outside the law enforcement with a face filled with anxiety as he kept peeking into the hall. When he saw a figure adorned in a white robe appear within the dark hallway, he immediately shouted, “Dage, are you alright?”
Lin Xuanzhi walked out, then looked at Yan Tianhen under the glow of the sunlight and lightly smiled, “Anxious from waiting for too long?”
“Nope.” Yan Tianhen walked to Lin Xuanzhi’s side, then walked down the flight of steps with him as two tiger cubs followed along by his side.
“Dage, just now Fifth elder disallowed anyone from being disrespectful to you. From now on, will they not dare to insult Dage anymore?” Yan Tianhen said animatedly.
Lin Xuanzhi nodded, then held Yan Tianhen’s hand and said, “From now on, they won’t dare to insult you either. Oh right, you should quit your job at the spiritual plant fields ba. Before today I didn’t have a reliable source1 so I didn’t request anything from you, but from today onwards, I’ll be supervising your cultivation progress carefully.”
Yan Tianhen is a smart kid, when he heard this, he understood that Lin Xuanzhi probably wouldn’t lack money from now on.

At the very least, with the Fifth elder’s warning, those who had dared to dock Lin Xuanzhi’s food, accommodation and travelling resources would have to exercise some restraint.
Thus, Yan Tianhen happily nodded and said, “Ok Dage, I’ll go and tell the steward later.”
At this moment, a law enforcement hall guard walked over, then clasped his hands together and said to Lin Xuanzhi, “Xuanzhi young master, how would you like to deal with Steward Zhang?”
Lin Xuanzhi said, “Bring him to my residence.”
Yan Tianhen tugged on Lin Xuanzhi’s sleeve and said, “Dage, what are you bringing him to our residence for?”
