Chapter 170 - Kill or No (1/2)
Yan Tianhen’s eyes reddened in an instant. He pursed his lips and sobbed, “I don’t want that. Dage is mine and mine alone, I don’t want him to marry someone else and have children, I don’t want him to treat other people well!”

Lin Zezhi stood to one side, looking slightly embarrassed.
Why did it seem more and more like Yan Tianhen really treated Lin Xuanzhi as if he were his own personal possession?
Moreover, he even seemed like he wanted to restrict Lin Xuanzhi from making friends.
To not let Lin Xuanzhi get married and have children, it appears as if…
Lin Zezhi had never had a very good impression of Yan Tianhen, not entirely because his appearance and image had pulled down the Lin family’s class, but more to do with how he had a really bad feeling when he saw Yan Tianhen for the first time. That kind of feeling was a kind of mysterious, inexplicable feeling, and it was extremely strange.
However, Lin Zezhi didn’t say anything. After all, this was a private matter between Yan Tianhen and Lin Xuanzhi. It had nothing to do with him.
Yan Tianhen sulked to one side and felt a little confused at the same time — why was he being like this now? Why was it that as soon as someone got closer to Lin Xuanzhi and treated him better, he would feel unhappy?

Yan Tianhen suddenly felt a little afraid. If he continued being this selfish and unreasonable, would Lin Xuanzhi come to hate him one day and think of abandoning him?
Yan Tianhen sunk into a pit of self-reproach and confusion. He subconsciously stroked his face, which wasn’t very smooth, and a cryptic, glum glint flashed through his eyes.
The place chosen by Bai Yichen would naturally have gorgeous scenery and an excellent atmosphere. It was both quiet and remote, but one could also hear the birds chirping and smell the fragrance of flowers here.
Lin Xuanzhi looked at the courtyard that looked exactly the same as it had in his past life and suddenly felt like the Tao of Heaven was both predictable and unpredictable.
Bai Yichen drank alone within a reception pavilion. He sat there quietly, as if everything in the outside world had nothing to do with him.
“Would your body be able to take it if you were to drink in broad daylight?” Lin Xuanzhi came to stand in front of Bai Yichen, lifted his robes, and sat down.
Bai Yichen looked at Lin Xuanzhi with a grin. He flicked his wrist and a wine flask hovered above Lin Xuanzhi’s cup with its spout pointed down.
The cup was filled with wine. Lin Xuanzhi extended his jade white hand and held up the exquisitely crafted cup.
The fragrance assailed his nostrils; the wine cup was a top-grade magic treasure, and the wine was an excellent hundred-year brew.
“This should be our second time sitting down face to face.” Bai Yichen spoke first. He leaned against his chair and took a sip of wine, looking at Lin Xuanzhi with a smile. “I’ve invited you many times before, but you were always crafting in seclusion.”
Lin Xuanzhi took a sip of wine. The sweet and clear wine slid down his throat and warmth slowly spread out within his abdomen.

“Crafters are all like that. Once they start crafting, it’ll be easy for them to lose themselves.” Lin Xuanzhi said lightly.

Bai Yichen was stunned by Lin Xuanzhi’s straightforwardness.
Lin Xuanzhi took another sip of wine and put down the wine cup,“How does it feel when you use it?”
“Since it was custom-made, its effects would naturally be pretty good.” Bai Yichen casually answered. Some ripples could be seen in his eyes as he looked at Lin Xuanzhi.
Bai Yichen suddenly asked, “Why did you take the small Mingyin flame away? You should know that I need that flame.”
“I know.” Lin Xuanzhi said lightly, “However, you have no way of refining or controlling it, but I can. People aren’t the ones at fault, their cherished possessions are what get them into trouble. You can’t use that small Mingyin flame, yet you’re reluctant to part with it. Sooner or later, you will get into trouble because of it, so wouldn’t it be better for me to take it away first?”

Bai Yichen looked at Lin Xuanzhi’s beautiful face and thought that this person seemed even more enigmatic, making his heart itch as he became even more impatient. He wanted to dig out all of this person’s secrets.
“If you say it like that, I’ll think that you have awfully strong feelings for me.” Bai Yichen wasn’t kidding. He fiddled around with the empty wine cup as he said straightforwardly.
“If one starts ingratiating without reason, they must be wicked and a thief.” Lin Xuanzhi laughed without a trace of awkwardness. “Young Master Bai is indeed a man who can make people feel moved. However, I’m not compatible with Young Master Bai.”
Bai Yichen saw that he was speaking quite bluntly, so he threw away all pretenses and asked straightforwardly, “How are we incompatible? I, on the other hand, think that we are quite compatible. You’re a crafter, I understand crafting; you’re a genius, and so am I. More importantly, you just so happened to bump into me, and it’s not like I have absolutely no interest in you.”
Lin Xuanzhi thought that Bai Yichen really wasn’t any different from how he was in his past life.
In his past life, Bai Yichen was his lover.
He also had to admit that he had been moved by Bai Yichen before, and had even thought of becoming Dao companions with him.

However, the two of them disagreed on quite a lot of things. In the past, neither of them could persuade the other, and was even unable to place absolute trust in each other. They would even do some things behind the other’s back.
As their conflicts grew in number, their feelings for each other also became more and more mild. Eventually, due to a few irreparable incidents, their relationship came to an end.
Yan Tianhen’s death ended everything. There was no leeway for salvation.
It was only later on that Lin Xuanzhi clearly saw who had been the one he loved.
That person wasn’t Young Master Bai, who made his heart beat due to how stunning he was at first sight. He had a rare kind of good feeling for Young Master Bai, but this kind of feeling wasn’t love. It was just a feeling that naturally arose from meeting someone of the same kind.
They were suited for being friends, and they were also suited for being enemies. But they weren’t suited to be lovers.
