Chapter 254 (1/2)

Lin Zhantian had lofty aspirations in his heart, but he was trapped in a corner.

However–

No matter how tempted Lin Zhantian was, he still shook his head and declined, downcast, “I still dare not, and I’m also reluctant to part with my little sister.”

Yan Tianhen looked at him. “Why don’t you go back and discuss this with your parents and sisters? I’ll tell you this secret; my Dage left a place open for you. If you nod, he’ll put your name on the list. If you still don’t want to go, my Dage will give someone else the spot.”

Lin Zhantian was shocked. He looked at Yan Tianhen in amazement; he never would have thought that Lin Xuanzhi would actually reserve such a precious spot just for him!

One should know that Profound Sky Sect only held an entrance exam annually, picking one person from among a hundred. Plus, the accepted disciples all had to start working their way up from outer-door disciples. This kind of internally recommended placing could allow someone to skip that process and directly become an inner-door disciple, where they could formally study under a master. The difference in treatment was akin to that of heaven and earth.

The most important thing was that celestial-level sects only accepted disciples under 25 years of age. If anyone was older than that, then unless that person had special talents or went the internal recommendation route within their family, they wouldn’t have the chance to enter the sect again.

Lin Zhantian’s age was indeed a bit awkward.

So the opportunity Lin Xuanzhi gave him could be considered extremely precious.

How could Lin Zhantian not be tempted? Absolutely no one would reject this opportunity.

However, he thought of his little sister, whose body could give out at any time, and thought of his mother, who had recently been suffering from Madam Bai and Third Elder’s joint suppression, then thought of his father in the law enforcement hall, who was struggling with every step.

“I……” Lin Zhantian was still hesitant.

As soon as Lin Zhantian opened his mouth, Yan Tianhen interrupted him.

Yan Tianhen smiled and winked at him playfully. “I said, why don’t you go back and discuss it first before replying? Oh, that’s right, what did you want to bring to my Dage today?”

Lin Zhantian had a complicated expression as he took out a bottle from his sleeve, handing it to Yan Tianhen. “These are some medicinal pills my mother refined to strengthen the body and replenish Qi, it’s not worth much.”

Compared to that hundred-year-old lingzhi and those top-grade medicinal pills, the bottle of medicinal pills wasn’t worth mentioning at all.

“Oh wow, it just so happens that my Dage and I need this.” Yan Tianhen happily took it and smiled at Lin Zhantian, “Zhantian Gege, hurry back and discuss this. I’ll wait for your reply.”

Lin Zhantian nodded, took a deep look at Yan Tianhen, and turned around, leaving.

Waves were surging up violently in his heart, and his fist, concealed in his sleeve, faintly shook.

Yan Tianhen opened the medicinal bottle containing eight medicinal pills and poured one out. To his surprise, he found that the medicinal pills in this bottle were all high-grade or top-grade and were extremely difficult to find on the market.

Yan Tianhen’s eyes shined, his lips curling into a smile.

Have pity on all the parents in the world. Even though Lin Zhantian couldn’t understand anything at all with his wooden head, Yan Tianhen’s clever brain understood everything at a glance–

Ji Lanjun wanted to take this opportunity to help her son obtain an opportunity!

Yan Tianhen’s time staying at the Lin family residence exceeded the amount of time Lin Xuanzhi spent there, so he naturally knew what kind of circumstances Ji Lanjun’s family had. It seemed that Ji Lanjun really put down all her hard-earned capital on this.

Yan Tianhen took the medicinal pill bottle and walked into the reception hall. He saw Lin Yurou, who had just finished delivering a gift and was preparing to leave.

In the past, when Lin Yurou saw Yan Tianhen, although she didn’t say anything unpleasant, she would still regard him coldly. However, after the Hundred Families Gathering, where she witnessed Lin Xuanzhi’s undisguised actions to protect him from all directions and Yan Tianhen’s own attainment on the alchemist path, Lin Yurou had to change her opinion of him.

Lin Yurou flashed Yan Tianhen a smile that could be considered friendly.

However, Yan Tianhen didn’t cast her a glance, as though he didn’t see her at all. He went straight inside and even warmly called out “Dage” before he even saw Lin Xuanzhi.

Lin Yurou felt that she didn’t have much face. She rubbed her nose to ease the embarrassment. Her personal maid beside her indignantly said, “Young Miss is kind enough to greet him, but he didn’t even respond at all. He really doesn’t understand etiquette; he’s truly too excessive.”

Lin Yurou’s expression changed. She hurriedly pulled the maid outside; only then did she whisper with some anger, “In the future, never speak these kinds of words in front of anyone. Otherwise, I can only send you away.”

The personal maid Ah Lan immediately turned pale with fright. She had been with Lin Yurou for over ten years and felt that she had some status within Lin Yurou’s eyes. Plus, didn’t Lin Yurou always look down on Yan Tianhen?

However, Lin Xuanzhi didn’t allow any personal servants to tag along when participating in the Hundred Families Gathering, so Ah Lan naturally didn’t know about the events that occurred. She also didn’t know exactly how important Yan Tianhen was to Lin Xuanzhi, but now that Lin Yurou had spoken, Ah Lan could only lower her head in embarrassment and answer, “I’ll obey Miss’s orders.”

Lin Yurou also felt that she truly deserved being given the cold shoulder by Yan Tianhen. Thus, she decided to have a better relationship with Yan Tianhen in the future. After this incident, she accurately understood the fact that the world was constantly changing, and a river that had been flowing on the West side was now flowing on the East side 30 years later. One should never throw rocks at people when they’re down.

Yan Tianhen saw that the small reception hall was filled with all kinds of spiritual pills and miraculous medicines, as well as delicacies, and he couldn’t help licking his lips.

“Dage!” Yan Tianhen flew over and rushed into Lin Xuanzhi’s arms.

Lin Xuanzhi smiled, “You’ve seen Zhantian?”

Yan Tianhen nodded and gave the medicinal pill bottle to Lin Xuanzhi like he was presenting a treasure. “The stuff inside is pretty good.”

Lin Xuanzhi didn’t even look at it and pushed it back to Yan Tianhen. “Since it’s good, then Ah Hen can take it.”

Yan Tianhen grinned and didn’t refuse; he directly stuffed it into his own storage bag.

Yan Tianhen asked, “Dage, one spot is reserved for Zhantian Gege, so what about the other one?”

“Lin Yufan.”

Yan Tianhen paused. “Lin Yurou’s half-sister? Why did Dage settle on her?”
