Ch191 – Living isn’t Easy

Lin Xuanzhi smiled slightly. “I intend to continue cultivating.”

Fourth Elder Bai cast a glance at him. “That’s too vague. Your performance today can be considered to be remarkable among the craftsmen circle. I don’t believe you have absolutely no ambition.”

Lin Xuanzhi replied, “I naturally have ambition, but it shouldn’t be in much conflict with the Bai family, so Elder Bai can rest assured of that.”

Lin Xuanzhi’s words surprised Fourth Elder Bai a bit.

This kid is actually this straightforward.

In that case, Fourth Elder Bai no longer tried concealing anything, otherwise it would make it seem that an old man like him was on the losing side.

“I apologise on behalf of my family’s younger ones for what happened today.” Fourth Elder Bai frowned, “They lack discipline and were too presumptuous. I’ll ask the young master rectify the family’s principles.”

Lin Xuanzhi raised an eyebrow slightly and said with some trepidation, “Fourth Elder Bai is too polite. Nothing happened today, so what’s there to apologise for?”

Fourth Elder Bai thought that Lin Xuanzhi was a very interesting person.

He could definitely tell that the attack of the broken knife was deliberate, yet not only did he not intend to seek justice from the Bai family, but he also pretended as if nothing had happened.

Lin Zezhi stood to a side, thought about it for a moment, and understood. He couldn’t help but frown — as pupils of the elite Bai family, they actually carried out such a vicious assault in the dark. Weren’t they being too narrow-minded?

Fourth Elder Bai said rather meaningfully, “You really didn’t notice it?”

“What should I notice?”

Fourth Elder Bai decided that he might as well come clean. “During the crafting process today, you almost got attacked.

“So Fourth Elder Bai was talking about that.” A sudden realisation dawned upon Lin Xuanzhi. He nonchalantly continued, “I didn’t take it to heart. After all, many such uncontrollable incidents happen during the crafting process. No one can predict when it’ll happen.”

“You really don’t take it to heart at all?” Fourth Elder Bai raised an eyebrow as he asked.

“Well…not entirely so. Speaking of which, you could say it’s my fault. After all, I didn’t get harmed in the slightest, and the one who got hurt was one of the younger ones from the Bai family. I even intend to pay the Bai family a visit one day to offer my apologies and ask for the Bai family’s forgiveness and understanding.” Lin Xuanzhi sighed, looking quite reproachful. “I’m truly sorry, it was all my fault. How’s that young one’s injuries now?”

However, Lin Xuanzhi’s beautiful and memorable face, in addition to his sincere and ashamed expression and modest attitude, really made it difficult for others to determine if he was being ironic or if he was saying what he truly thought.


Fourth Elder Bai pondered over it. “Bai Honghu isn’t doing that well, but the Bai family has a lot of experience in dealing with the backlash from one’s soul force when an accident occurs during the crafting process. He should be able to recover after a period of rest and recuperation, so Craftsman Lin need not blame yourself. After all, this was an accident that no one could’ve predicted.”

Lin Xuanzhi breathed a sigh of relief. “Since Fourth Elder Bai said that, I feel much more at ease now.”

Why did the phrase ‘feel much more at ease’ sound a bit out of place?
