Chapter 590 - Talking About Children (1/2)
Lin Xuanzhi’s gaze fell to sweep over Lin Zhan’s flat belly. “How is your baby?”
“It has a huge appetite.” Lin Zhan raised his eyebrows and put his hand on his belly. He sighed slightly. “I don’t know if I should keep this child. I’m hesitating these days.”
“Why not?” Lin Xuanzhi asked, “After all, it is your flesh and blood.”
Lin Zhan said sadly, “You also know the shameless things done by the Nine Land’s Prophet Family nearly three decades ago. They kept saying that the first son of the Xuan clan would be the first heir, which almost brought death to the Xuan clan. That person should have been you, and it was you, but because you broke the seal of the Five Continents and made a deal with the Dao of Heaven to be reborn again, no one remembered your existence, and naturally do not know that you are the legitimate heir of the Xuan clan.
Everyone thought that the first heir of the Xuan clan has not been born yet, and there have been eyes staring at the East Land since I married Xuan Wushe. In fact, the Purple Emperor’s Heavenly Capital was happy. At least it was normal for men to have no children. Over the years, it was only Demon Venerable You Ming who had publicly revealed that he’d given birth to a child as a man.
If I have another child, he will be the eldest son of the East Land in name. According to the East Sovereign’s character, how can he let anyone hurt his child? But the Purple Emperor’s Heavenly Capital would never let this child go easily. Ah, it’s really a mess. There’s no solution.”
Lin Xuanzhi thought for a moment and said, “But the East Sovereign knew decades ago that his eldest son would be the first heir, but it’s been many years, and he didn’t seem to be worried about this.”
“That was before,” Lin Zhan said, “I didn’t want to tell you the truth, but after you discovered the Fiends, there were also Fiends in the East Land. After Xuan Wushe resolved the matter with those Fiends, he went to the Land of Great Evil to find out. Before I could stop it, he had already hit the road alone. When he came back two months later, his entire person was different from before. I don’t know what he saw in the Land of Great Evil, but he actually began secretly preparing to attack the Purple Emperor’s Heavenly Capital and start a war. When I asked him why, he said that those people would kill his children. I also happened to find myself pregnant again, so I dared not tell him anyway.”
Lin Xuanzhi said thoughtfully, “So, everything is related to the Land of Great Evil.”
Lin Zhan nodded. “Moreover, I found some faults in his cultivation. He always has headaches from time to time, and his temper is much more violent than before. I think it has something to do with the Land of Great Evil.”
Lin Xuanzhi frowned slightly. “Didn’t you say that the Yan family sealed Fiends before in the Land of Great Evil?”
“It’s all made up by the Yan family.” Lin Zhan sneered, “It is clear that Xuan Jiuxiao was the one who sealed them. Otherwise, do you think a brilliant genius like him would sacrifice himself when sealing Demon Venerable in the Great Demon Array? However, according to the records, the Yan family also helped him.”
Lin Xuanzhi asked again, “Where is the Land of Great Evil?”
Lin Zhan shook his head. “I asked, but Wushe said nothing to me.”
After a moment’s silence, Lin Xuanzhi said, “Mr. Lan from Pill Limit Hall has always been good at traditional medicinal practices. It is best to let him go to the East Land some day and check the pulse of the East Sovereign.”
Lin Xuanzhi looked at Lin Zhan and said, “I’m afraid treating the disease is second place. The most important thing is that he doesn’t want you to leave his field of vision, right?”
Lin Zhan criticized with a smile. “You stinky little…”
Lin Xuanzhi said, “Ah Hen is very happy to hear that you are coming. Why don’t you come with me and meet Ah Hen?”
Lin Zhan nodded. “I came here to see him naturally. I sent someone to inquire. Did he go to the East Courtyard?”
Lin Xuanzhi nodded. “However, he should be in Little Penglai now.”
Lin Zhan, “…”
His son is quick.
Lin Zhan and Lin Xuanzhi went to Little Penglai together. In the soul space, Yan Tianhen was practicing his sword conscientiously, but what he was holding was a sword cut from bamboo. When he saw Lin Zhan, Yan Tianhen immediately withdrew and walked to Lin Zhan, crying out Daddy.
“Miss me?” asked Lin Zhan.
“Naturally,” Yan Tianhen said. “I think of you every day.”
Lin Zhan touched Yan Tianhen’s head and said with great comfort, “You’re much taller than before, and still so clever and pitiable.”
Yan Tianhen shook his finger and said solemnly, “I am different now. Daddy should say that I am mature and stable. After all, I have a family now.”
Lin Zhan, “…”
Pfft! Lin Xuanzhi couldn’t help but laugh.
Yan Tianhen threw himself at Lin Zhan and acted spoiled. “Daddy, I want to eat your fried taro chicken and sweet-scented osmanthus lotus root.” After speaking, Yan Tianhen felt his mouth water.
Lin Zhan laughed and scolded him, “You little brat, I don’t think you missed me, but missed the food I made instead, didn’t you?”
