Rebirth of the Supreme Celestial Being

chapter-541
Yan Tianhen wanted to pretend that he was not there, so he stuck two soundproof talismans on the door to block out the sound of the door being slammed. After his ears were clear, Yan Tianhen went back to the room to read.
However, it didn’t take long for Shen Congrong to send a talisman to Yin Changge.
“Is there no one in your room?”
Yin Changge said to Yan Tianhen, “The girl outside, the sound of smashing the door is too loud. Although we have already stuck the talismans so we can’t hear it, the disciples outside are disturbed so much. Shen Dage will have to go to the Dao Division’s examinations tomorrow, so he will be affected if this continues.”
So Yin Changge called him Shen Dage now. It seemed that the two had already made up.Yan Tianhen couldn’t help but press the blue veins that jumped on his forehead, and walked towards the door, saying, “Damn, a girl is running to the boys’ dormitory in public, but the steward here doesn’t care?”
He opened the door just as Princess Yuqing was about to kick it over. She was about to crash into Yan Tianhen’s arms. Yan Tianhen immediately retreated to the side, so that Princess Yuqing fell face down on the floor.
Yan Tianhen, “…” Well, he did it on purpose.
Princess Yuqing stood up with a loose hairpin. Her face was full of anger. She pointed to Yan Tianhen and said in a loud voice, “You are clearly in the room. Why do you pretend not to hear me when I knock on the door?”
Yan Tianhen sighed, and said, “I’m avoiding you, do you still need me to express the meaning clearly and make you lose face?”
Princess Yuqing didn’t expect Yan Tianhen to be so ruthless. This was completely different from how he acted back in the Purple Emperor’s Heavenly Capital. In the Purple Emperor’s Heavenly Capital, Yan Tianhen would still smile at her, and would never say such harsh words. .
Princess Yuqing was stunned for a moment, and then said, “Why don’t you want to see me?”Yan Tianhen felt that he was really useless before, causing people to say “why” to him.
Yan Tianhen said, “You and I don’t walk the same path, especially after the emperor said those things, I don’t want to have too many ties with you. I don’t like women, let alone marry a woman as a wife. There are plenty of fish in the sea, so why are you wasting your effort on me?”
Some words, he thought it was time to make it clear. After all, they didn’t walk the same path and it was impossible for them to have any conclusion together. Why bother more? What’s more, the emperor was far away from here. Even if he didn’t give Princess Yuqing any face, it wasn’t like the emperor could send someone to capture him back and beat him up.
Princess Yuqing’s face was pale at first, then turned red. She glared at Yan Tianhen, and her body was trembling with anger. “Who do you think you are? This Princess doesn’t like you at all. Don’t be full of yourself here.” Princess Yuqing ran out crying, looking a little embarrassed for a time.
The disciples outside stood in a row, looking at the scene of dog blood.
However, Yan Tianhen’s fighting power was still very fierce. He told off a girl fiercely in a few words and she ran away crying. Of course, some people thought that Yan Tianhen was too ruthless. He didn’t even give any face for other girls. He was obviously a heartless man.
Yan Tianhen treated them as if he hadn’t heard these words, shrugged noncommittally, and closed the door.
Yin Changge asked, “Will that girl come back to find you again?”
Yan Tianhen said, “I don’t know, I can never guess what a woman thinks.”
Yin Changge also nodded very emotionally and said, “Indeed.”
Princess Yuqing went back crying.
Although she had not lived a very rich life when she was a child, her elder sister really treated her very well. Her elder sister had been working as the head of the family to make money early, and was indeed very good to her, so she had never been short of anything. Moreover, since she was surrounded by people in even worse situations than herself, she didn’t really feel like she was in poverty.
So Yuqing had developed an arrogant and domineering character since childhood.
She had never suffered such an insult.
Yuqing ran back into the yard, and Ban Xia, who was about to find her, ran into her.
Yuqing’s eyes and nose were red. When Ban Xia saw this, she felt that the situation was bad in her heart, and said patiently, “Princess, what happened?”
Princess Yuqing sobbed and said, “Why doesn’t he like me? Even if he doesn’t like me, that’s fine. But I’m a girl, and I’m a princess conferred by the emperor, so I went to find him with such respect. Why did he insult me as soon as he opened his mouth?”
When Ban Xia heard this, she felt helpless, and said, “Princess, didn’t I tell you before not to go and find him?”
Princess Yuqing glared at Ban Xia and said, “But I just want to find him.”
Ban Xia still tried to persuade her bitterly, but was preempted by Princess Yuqing and said, “However, I won’t look for him anymore. Even if I look for him, I must find a way to embarrass him.”
Princess Yuqing gritted her teeth, holding a pink fist, as if she was facing an enemy. She had a bit of resentment in her eyes, and said, “What I like, no one dares to compete with me. If he is destined not to belong to me, I’d rather destroy him than let others smear him.”
Ban Xia was stunned and wanted to say something, but in the end she stirred up a smile and said, “That the Princess can think like this, I think the Imperial Consort will be glad to know.”
Princess Yuqing sniffed and said, “In addition, you tell my sister for me that today in the courtyard, Yan Tianhen spoke rudely to the princess and even despised the Imperial Consort of the Emperor.”
Ban Xia nodded and said, “I will let her know.”
The next day was the day of the Dao Division’s competition.
There were too many people who chose the Dao Division, so they divided the competition into seven days.
There were all kinds of competitions in the Dao Division. Those who used swords or blades could demonstrate some of their moves, or they could choose to spar against each other. If someone was a pure Daoist cultivator and didn’t use any weapons, then it was necessary to conduct a deeper level of talent and spiritual root testing in order to select the secret scripts that would be more suitable for them in the future.
Yan Tianhen was somewhat interested in these, so he went to the first day of exams with Yin Changge.
He originally thought that Huarong Sword Immortal would always take a look at the assessment on behalf of the Sword God Hall, but he didn’t expect that he never showed up from start to finish, so Yan Tianhen also lost interest in the assessment, and he waived until the fifth day. This was only because his friend Gu Ruyu was on the exam list.
He didn’t see the flashes and afterimages of swords and blades that he had envisioned; this year’s candidates sparred fairly appropriately.
Gu Ruyu used a sword, and the sword in his hand was the heirloom sword of their family, called the Pagoda. The sword technique he cultivated was passed down in his family throughout the generations, and it was in the style of the Imperial Guard’s techniques — this style sought to kill with one blow, and sacrifice oneself at a critical moment for righteousness.
They were the swords and the shields of the Venerated Emperor.
After Gu Ruyu finished a set of stances, there was applause everywhere.
Among them, was a young man with eyes full of obsession.
Ruyu came off the field and was stopped by someone just as he was about to walk towards Yan Tianhen.
“Dage,” A shivering voice rang out.
Gu Ruyu frowned, turned to look at the inconspicuous young man standing in the crowd and asked, “What’s the matter? ”
Gu Ning came over, looked up at Gu Ruyu, and gave him a big smile. The whole person seemed to be shining.
“Dage is really incredible.”
Gu Ruyu’s face was unpredictable.
He looked at Gu Ning’s face that was somewhat similar and different from the younger brother in his memory. He could no longer remember what the details on the face of the younger brother who had been lost in the early years looked like.
Gu Ruyu retracted his gaze and said lightly, “Don’t embarrass the Gu family.”
Gu Ning nodded and said, “Don’t worry, Dage, I definitely won’t.”
Gu Ruyu gave a hum, turned, and left.
Gu Ning stood there, looking at Gu Ruyu’s back, feeling a little sad.
Now that we had left the Royal Heavenly Capital and the Gu family, Gu Ruyu was probably too lazy to even bother with pretending to be brothers on the surface. However, who let me be a fake?!
Gu Ning laughed mockingly, then turned and left.
Gu Ruyu walked to Yan Tianhen’s side and showed a relaxed expression to him, saying, “Unexpectedly, you still chose Alchemy in the end. In fact, you are more suitable for the Daoist path.”
The Daoist path Gu Ruyu mentioned referred to Daoism in a narrow sense and did not include miscellaneous paths.
Yan Tianhen took out a fan, having learned from others how to pretend to be a cultured person. He raised his eyebrows and said, “I always have to leave some room for others. I’m already so good at alchemy, If I’m going to show that I’m also good at Dao, then there would be no room for others to live.”
Gu Ruyu couldn’t help laughing and said, “You should be so powerful. They would just think — Oh, Little Prince Ye is indeed powerful. We all have to look up to him.”
Yan Tianhen was happy for awhile before he said, “Where did Old Qi go? Why didn’t I see him.”
Gu Ruyu said, “Him? He originally planned to apply for the Dao Division, but after a few days of observation, he found that the Dao Division was too terrifying for him, so he planned to turn to practice business.”
“Business?” Yan Tianhen was stunned.
Gu Ruyu snorted and said, “I don’t know what he was thinking. He doesn’t want to endure hardships and he doesn’t want to fight. He just wants to be a businessman. He also takes the example of Mr. Mohua and Mr. Guangling, who have opened shops in every corner of the Nine Lands. He hasn’t even thought about Mr. Guangling’s identity and Mr. Mohua’s talent.”
Speaking of Lord Guangling, Yan Tianhen nodded his head sincerely and said, “Yes, my adoptive father can obtain even the wind and rain if he so desires. The East Sovereign is very obedient to him. If he wants to do business, no one dares to obstruct him. In addition, Uncle Mo has an extremely strong business mindset. When their talents are combined, they are destined to be invincible. In just eight years, their businesses have spread all over the country.”
If one were to say where the most prosperous place in the Nine Lands was now, at least eight out of ten people would say that it was the East Land. The East Land had already become a transit station for all kinds of goods. The tax burden there was very low, and the ecological environment of the shops was good. The ruler of the East Land also favored his own Imperial Consort, so he strongly supported commercial development. The industry in the East was the most prosperous, and even the Purple Emperor’s Heavenly Capital couldn’t compare with it.
However, Gu Ruyu shook his head, “In the end, business is still an inferior and lowly path. If you put all your mind into making money, how can you have the energy to cultivate? In the end, only cultivation can let you live longer, and only by living longer can you do more meaningful things.”
“I can’t refute what you said, but business affairs can’t be considered too low-class, right?”
“It is naturally considered high-class if you can do business on Lord Guangling and Lord Mohua’s level, but most of them can only make enough to support their families.”
“That’s true.” Yan Tianhen said, “I belong to the kind of people who simply enjoy the shade from the trees planted down by my predecessors.”
Gu Ruyu smiled first, and then said helplessly, “I tried to persuade him, since he doesn’t listen, I can’t help it.”
Yan Tianhen said, “Whether it’s to support the family or to be rich enough to rival a nation, it’s Old Qi’s choice. Let him be responsible for himself.”
Qi Feiqing was unwilling to suffer the pains of cultivation. Originally, he was holding a pass to the Myriad Dao Academy that his elder brother had obtained after much difficulty. He should have gone to Myriad Dao Academy to practice swordsmanship according to his elder brother’s wishes. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered, he was like a sheep without a pen that began to run away.
