Rebirth Of The Supreme Celestial Being (201-400)

392- The Far West

Feng Jingyu tilted his head and asked in a perplexed tone. “Is being in the Five Continents not good? With your current cultivation, you’d need a long period of time before you reach the Nine Lands. So there’s no need to be in such a rush?”

Lin Xuanzhi said, “I don’t want to let those people take the initiative to search for us in the Five Continents again. Once the Five Continents seal is broken, I will then, of my own accord, be able to travel to the Nine Lands with Ah Hen. The Nine Continents is vast and borderless. Once we enter that place, it would be like a fish entering the massive ocean, making it really easy when you want to hide. This way, the enemy will be out in the open while I’ll be lurking in the dark.”

Feng Jingyu looked at Lin Xuanzhi, “Your way of thinking does indeed have some hidden agendas.”

Lin Xuanzhi faintly said, “I have never asked for anything too great. I just want to live a reclusive life and be able to travel around with my lover.”

Feng Jingyu’s mood became complicated, for he did not expect Lin Xuanzhi to think this way.

Feng Jingyu paused for a moment, “You really do think far ahead.”

Lin Xuanzhi stroked a tuft of feathers that was standing on Feng Jingyu’s head. “If I were to think things through less thoroughly, when we encounter any problems in the future, who knows how serious it would be. Between Ah Hen and I, one of us has got to think about it a little more.” 

Feng Jingyu said subtly, “I am somewhat jealous of Yan Tianhen right now. He doesn’t need to know or be responsible for anything. He could just idle around everyday and refine pills whenever he has nothing to do. Even if there’s something going on, he could just call for his Dage. He could just pass his days this way.”

Lin Xuanzhi smiled and said nothing.

What Feng Jingyu had said was correct and yet also incorrect.

Yan Tianhen was not that heartless. He was very sensitive to everything, but even so he was unwilling to talk much about it. He was just fond of getting things done silently, without anyone knowing.

For instance, Yan Tianhen did not tell anyone about it and had resolved Du Qiying quickly and decisively for him.

Ah Hen is a bright child.    

Feng Jingyu felt somewhat dejected, so the golden bird pecked the back of Lin Xuanzhi’s hand lightly, with its beak. “But I’m still unwilling to just sit by and watch the seal be undone.”

“I know.” Lin Xuanzhi paused and continued, “But sorry, no matter what happens, I will not just sit and wait for my death.”

Feng Jingyu remained silent for a moment and then lifted his small head to look at Lin Xuanzhi, “Old Lin, if you ever travel to the Nine Lands some day and I’m still the Master of West Imperial Palace, I’m willing to give you sanctuary. The doors of the West Imperial Palace are always open for you.” 

Lin Xuanzhi’s expression softened and showed a hint of a smile, “With your words, I can put my mind at ease.”

Feng Jingyu asked, “So where is Ah Gu?”

Lin Xuanzhi: “…..”

After mulling over, what Feng Jingyu really wanted to know was, I’m afraid, this. 

Lin Xuanzhi also felt that Ling Chigu had been stuck in the soul plate for far too long, so he pointed to the depths of the forest. “Follow this road and head inside to search for him. I can’t say for sure, but you might just find Ah Gu after walking a short distance.”
