Chapter 241 - Lonely Star (1/2)
Lin Liuchun was bewildered as he silently watched their interactions for half a day and finally reached out to smack the table. He squinted as he lazily swept a glance across them both. “Lin Xuanzhi, make a long story short.”
Lin Xuanzhi restrained himself quite a bit and agreed. He carefully described in a concise manner how they had obtained the Hepta-Brilliant Sacred Fire in the Pill Limit Mysterious Land, and how they had been besieged by Shen Changgeng and his followers.
As for the conflict between him and Yan Tianhen, as well as what happened between Duan Yuyang and Yuan Tianwen, Lin Xuanzhi naturally didn’t utter even a single word about it. After the time taken to burn one incense stick had passed, Lin Xuanzhi finished his recount.
Lin Liuchun looked pensive as he ruminated, “In that case, the Hepta-Brilliant Sacred Fire belonged to Lu Qingli in the first place, and the Pill Limit Mysterious Land doesn’t belong to the Shen family either.”

“That’s right.” Lin Xuanzhi said, “I’m sure of that.”
Lin Liuchun seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. He nodded, “I understand. Since the Hepta-Brilliant Sacred Fire was given to you by its rightful owner, then keep it. However, after today, everyone will know that the Hepta-Brilliant Sacred Fire is in your hands, and I’m afraid that there will be quite a few influential forces that will target you. You must be careful.”
Lin Liuchun looked at Yan Tianhen, asking him to be on guard and to stop being such a scatterbrain.
Yan Tianhen nodded. “Fourth Elder, don’t worry, I still have Dage’s protection! Right, Dage?”
Lin Xuanzhi chuckled. “Naturally.”
Lin Xuanzhi was devastatingly beautiful in the first place, and his usual cold and indifferent appearance already made it difficult for others to shift their gazes away from him. With this gentle chuckle, plum blossoms bloomed in cold winter and everything bowed to him in submission.
Lin Liuchun had to admit that this was a really beautiful scene, but his heart felt incomparably stifled right now. The two kids from his family had gotten together somehow without warning, and it had happened right under his nose too. How would he account for this to that guy Lin Zhan in the future?

Lin Liuchun was a little angry. “Ah Hen, go back to your room to rest first, I still have some other things to talk about with your Dage.”
Yan Tianhen had wanted to be affectionate with Lin Xuanzhi for a while, but Lin Liuchun broke up the couple, so he immediately stared at Lin Liuchun begrudgingly.
Lin Liuchun, “…”
You actually dare to be this brazen? Do you not think that Laozi can break the two of you up right now?
“Ai, okay then.” Yan Tianhen said helplessly, “But you can’t take too long, okay? Dage and I have some things to talk about in secret.”
Lin Liuchun almost jumped right up; this brat didn’t know what’s good for him! He was helping him escape from this wolf’s demonic claws, yet he was being treated as an idiot!
Lin Xuanzhi just thought that his family’s Ah Hen was particularly cute, so he pulled Yan Tianhen over and kissed his forehead. “Ah Hen, go back and wait for me, Dage will return very soon.”

Yan Tianhen was overjoyed after he recieved a kiss. He scuttled away with small, quick steps as his head spun with happiness.

Lin Liuchun uttered a “pei”. “Don’t make me wear a conical paper hat, I’m not here to break the two of you up. I just want to ask you, between the two of you, who started the pursuit?”
“Naturally I was the one who pursued Ah Hen first. Ah Hen is still young, he doesn’t understand the ways of the world yet.”
“So you do know that he’s young and doesn’t understand the ways of the world!” Lin Liuchun’s expression darkened. “Do you still remember that he’s your younger brother? Your younger brother that your Dad has regarded as his son while raising him by his side for 7 to 8 years?!”
“Xuanzhi knows.” Lin Xuanzhi was even more respectful now but didn’t retreat in the slightest. “I have never forgotten his status either, but at the same time, I know that he’s not my biological brother. Being with me wouldn’t be considered deceiving our Shifus and betraying our ancestors, nor does it go against the will of Heaven.”

Lin Liuchun took a deep breath and still couldn’t stop himself from pointing at Lin Xuanzhi’s nose. “Do you think I mind that sort of thing? If he was a simple person, Laozi wouldn’t bother to care about you even if he was your biological younger brother!”
Lin Xuanzhi was slightly taken aback and his eyelids twitched slightly.
Lin Liuchun lamented, “How muddle-headed are you? And how much do you even know about Yan Tianhen’s background? Do you really think that your Dad would casually bring back any random child to raise?”
Lin Xuanzhi’s expression changed again. “What exactly is Ah Hen’s identity? I’d like to ask for your advice on this, Fourth Elder.”
Lin Liuchun sighed lightly and pressed against his forehead. “Only your father knows his specific identity, but when your Dad first brought him back, he had casually mentioned that Yan Tianhen was related to the upper realm’s royal family.”
Upper realm’s royal family?
Lin Xuanzhi’s phoenix eyes widened before narrowing again.

The Five Continents’ mainlands belong to the middle realm and was merely a corner of the Nine Lands that didn’t have much spiritual Qi. There were countries, royal families, and sects here, but the countries and royal families here were too many to count. Just one East Continent had 7 or 8 countries, and the influence of its royal families had never been stronger than that of sects.
But the upper realm was completely different.
It was said that there was only one imperial court in the upper realm that had merged with the divine right of kings to govern the entire Nine Lands.
Although Lin Xuanzhi had never seen the real royal family before, he had heard about how horrifying the bloody struggle for power in the royal family was more than once when wandering around the Nine Lands.
The royal family valued lineage a lot and wouldn’t allow people of a lower status to even marry into the royal family, let alone have someone with the blood of the devil clan running through his veins be even slightly related to the royal family.
