Rebirth Of The Supreme Celestial Being (201-400)

290- Huai Yu's Assessment

To be honest, apart from Yan Zhonghua who was blinded by love in those days, Esteemed Lan Yue really didn’t know who else in the world could stand You Ming’s eccentric character that could piss anyone off by just opening his mouth.

Back then, You Ming chased after Yan Zhonghua and caught him just like he wished, getting rid of all the difficulties and obstacles to marry him. All of his senior martial brothers and close friends laughed heartily and mourned for Yan Zhonghua for three incense sticks’ worth of time. After all, almost everyone had been teased and played by You Ming before when he was gallivanting around every corner of the Nine Lands as Huai Yu.

Even he, You Ming’s direct senior martial brother, sometimes wanted to beat this younger martial brother of his.

Seeing that Esteemed Lan Yue’s face was not good, Esteemed Huai Yu stuck out his tongue and quickly spoke, “Alright, Senior Martial Brother, let’s not talk about Lin Xuanzhi. This boy’s life is so good, he can’t die anyway. Time is precious, so let’s talk more about my darling baby, Ah Hen. After all, I can’t stay here for long.”

Esteemed Lan Yue’s eyes went soft, “If I knew earlier that you were so busy in the Nine Lands, I wouldn’t have wracked my brain for a way to bring you here. But to be honest, why did you spend so much effort to come to the Five Continents?”

There was already a great divide between the Nine Lands and the Five Continents. It was impossibly difficult to go from the Five Continents to the Nine Lands. The same went for someone who wanted to travel to the Five Continents from the Nine Lands; they would have to pay a hefty price.

Esteemed Huai Yu smiled, “Who let me miss my son? Besides, those scumbags in the Nine Lands are trying all kinds of ways to find Ah Hen. Of course, I had to give Ah Hen something in advance to defend himself. I’ve already handed him the 《Ancient Divine Devil Dance》 and 《Imperial Corpse Technique》. Now I have given him another manual, the 《Profound Book of Poisons》. Basically, if he cultivates well, he would be able to protect himself in the Nine Lands with his own power when he leaves the Five Continents.”

Esteemed Lan Yue shook his head, “Of the techniques you’ve taught him, the 《Profound Book of Poisons》 is still alright since its effects can’t be seen. But for the other two, if he dares to fight in the Nine Lands, someone will know that he has something to do with you. You’re making it difficult for him to walk in the Nine Lands.”

“It’s not necessarily difficult.” Esteemed Huai Yu laughed, “There are many demonic cultivators in the Nine Lands; it’s not just him. They all know similar techniques. As long as he keeps a low profile, no one will pay him much attention, though this face of his is quite noticeable.”

Esteemed Lan Yue looked at Esteemed Huai Yu’s face that showed a trace of regret, “It’s a pity, that face.”  

“It’s not a pity,” said Huai Yu in a low voice. “Otherwise, if people saw his beautiful appearance that could cause a country’s downfall, they’d be drawn to him like moths to a flame. Alas, can’t do anything about it. Who made him look exactly like me?”

Esteemed Lan Yue, “….”

He almost forgot how narcissistic You Ming was.

Esteemed Huai Yu touched his face and before Esteemed Lan Yue could ridicule him, he changed the subject, “I really hope Lin Xuanzhi can get on well with Ah Hen. If this goes on, maybe the two can change their fate against the heavens. The laws of heaven have always been constant but humans can also achieve anything with effort, isn’t that so?”

After a moment of silence, Esteemed Lan Yue patted him on the shoulder, “I used to think that the laws of heaven were irreversible and everything was predestined. But ever since the big changes in the star chart and the scattered celestial a while ago, I’ve changed my mind. Perhaps, Xuanzhi and Ah Hen together can really change their fate of killing each other.”
