Chapter 247 (1/2)

When Feng Jingyu heard this, he burst out, “Don't say 'match made in heaven'! If you use those words randomly outside, you'll be beaten to death. That Yuan Tianwen will definitely scold you.”

Yan Tianhen thought for a moment and hesitantly asked, “Then how about … two pieces of filth allying together? In cahoots? In collusion? Like-minded? Oh, it's all almost the same anyway, just choose one. “

Feng Jingyu: “….”

Feng Jingyu chirped with a big smile, “Ah Hen, Ah Hen, you're so talented. Does your Dage know?”

“He must know it by now.” Yian Tianhen touched his nose with some embarra.s.sment and smiled, “You also think that I am talented and brilliant?”

Feng Jingyu told him, “Yes, yes, of course.”

Yan Tianhen was really convinced. Where the f.u.c.k did he get such confidence?

Although Feng Jingyu spoke about his matters lightly, Lin Xuanzhi knew that the Western Lands managed to maintain peace for many years precisely because of this phoenix's presence, the king of birds.

If news got out of Feng Jingyu's disappearance or death, the Western Lands would surely fall into chaos sooner or later.

Besides, according to Feng Jingyu's description of Ling Chigu, the Nine Lands have already begun a fierce battle for the throne. It was impossible for the Western Lands to be unaffected by their affairs, so someone had to return and preside over the entire situation soon.

Now, however, Feng Jingyu followed Yan Tianhen without hesitation. It seemed like he had no intention of finding a way back to the Nine Lands, which made Lin Xuanzhi uneasy.

This phoenix had said some truth and lies earlier that weren't easy to distinguish. Born to be king… how could one easily reveal his own purpose?

Although phoenixs were natural kings, one needed to be of sound mind, wise, resourceful, and well-behaved in order to command the Western Lands. Lin Xuanzhi couldn't trust this phoenix's simple and straightforward performance.

He suppressed the doubts in his mind and decided to wait a while longer to see the bird's intentions. What was his true purpose?

“After a while, Ah Hen and I will be going to Profound Sky Sect. What are your plans?”

Feng Jingyu chirped out a cry and spoke without thinking, “Of course, this king wants to be with Ah Hen. But alas, this king is too powerful and has too many pursuers so I can't expose myself freely. Otherwise, I would definitely be able to stir up trouble in Profound Sky Sect!”

Lin Xuanzhi looked profoundly at Feng Jingyu, “You can go up the mountain but you have to keep a low-profile and act like an ordinary bird. You can't arouse anyone's suspicion.”

Feng Jingyu held out his chest, “This bird … no, this king has always been a high-profile bird and a low-key man! “

Lin Xuanzhi shook his head disapprovingly, “From now on, it will be the reverse.”

Feng Jingyu: “…..”

“It's wrong of you to bully birds like this!”

The bird was furious. I want to dump a piece of precious phoenix s.h.i.+t on your head!

In Madam Bai's room.

Bai Ling looked at her son, who had become particularly unfamiliar to her, with cold, lofty eyes.

Lin Zezhi's scalp grew numb when he saw this. After thinking about it, he reluctantly smiled, “Why is mother looking at me like this?”

Bai Ling struck the table and coldy answered, “During the Hundred Families Gathering, Third Elder and I had high hopes for you. Unexpectedly, instead of showing off at the mountain, you let that Lin Yan kid get ahead of you and also became obedient to Lin Xuanzhi, that little b.a.s.t.a.r.d. Have you ever put me and Third Elder in your eyes?”

In the face of Madam Bai's accusations and doubts, Lin Zezhi inwardly smiled bitterly.

He had listened to Madam Bai's many complaints before so he had felt resentful towards Lin Xuanzhi. It was only with great difficulty that he jumped out of that close-minded view. He finally looked at Lin Xuanzhi from a more objective perspective and correctly understood his position. Unexpectedly, Madam Bai didn't want to let him go.

Lin Zezhi was a little tired, “Mother, whether you want to admit it or not, only Lin Xuanzhi in this generation can bear the weight of the family. He's now proficient in both the sword and craftsman paths and his accomplishments on both are beyond human reach. He is graceful and elegant, and free from dust and vulgarity. No matter where he goes, he'll become the focus of public attention. This is incomparable to anyone else; he's the darling of heaven.”

“Nonsense!” The more Madam Bai listened, the uglier her face grew. At last, when she heard “the darling of heaven”, she slapped the table so hard it nearly cracked the teapot.

Lin Zezhi was startled.

“What makes him the darling of heaven? He's just an illegitimate b.a.s.t.a.r.d!” Madam Bai gnashed her teeth, “On the issue of inheritance, the Lin family should belong to you. Did you forget that when you were a child, your mother was oppressed by Lin Zhan everywhere and was nearly expelled from the family?”
