Chapter 544 – Yan Huanyu

“So this is the reason why you don’t have a filter on your mouth and don’t care about your dignity?” Yan Huanyu’s voice was slow, and there was no forced momentum, but what he said did make Yan Chenxiao tremble a few times.

His eldest brother was like his father. A few years ago, King Zhang wholeheartedly expanded his power and stabilized his position. He didn’t have much time and energy to take charge of his youngest son, so he relied entirely on Yan Huanyu to discipline Yan Chenxiao.

And Yan Huanyu was obviously an extremely harsh person.

From his clothes to his speech and manners, it was difficult for people to spot flaws, as if he was made according to the most standard template of the royal family.

Not long after Shen Qinghe left the dueling platform, he was supposed to meet some old friends. After meeting them, he rushed over. Unexpectedly, he was still a little late. He let Yan Huanyu run into the scene of the train wreck where Yan Chenxiao’s dirty mouth looked for trouble and was teased in turn.

Shen Qinghe’s pace slowed down a little bit. He looked at Yan Huanyu and said, “Young Master.”

Yan Huanyu was also accompanied by several people, most of whom were Yan Huanyu’s friends of the same generation when he was in the Purple Emperor’s Heavenly Capital, and swordsmen who grew up with him.

They had known Shen Qinghe since childhood. When they saw him at this time, their eyes inevitably overflowed with some sympathy.

Yan Chenxiao lowered his head and stared at his toes. He didn’t dare to say a word.

Yan Huanyu’s gaze traversed Shen Qinghe’s body, and after a while, he said, “This is how you taught the second young master?”

Shen Qinghe’s originally bright eyes quickly lost color. He whispered, “This subordinate is unfavorable in teaching. Please forgive me, Young Master.”

Yan Huanyu’s voice was light, and he said, “You can go receive the punishment yourself. As for you,” he looked at Yan Chenxiao and said, “copy the rules of the sect a hundred times, and then show them to me.”

Yan Chenxiao asked, “A hundred times?”

Yan Huanyu said, “One hundred and fifty times.”

“I’ll do it, I’ll do it okay?”

Yan Huanyu said, “If I find someone copying them for you, be careful of your ass.”

Yan Chenxiao seemed to have felt a pain on his butt.

When facing Yan Huanyu, all of Yan Chenxiao’s young master tempers were put away. In this world, the only person he was most afraid of was his elder brother Yan Huanyu.

After rectifying his own people, Yan Huanyu said to Yan Tianhen, “My younger brother has been spoiled since he was a child. I didn’t have time to teach him in person these years, so he grew up a little freely. I hope you can forgive him if he offended you.”

Yan Tianhen had always felt that Yan Huanyu was a person with so much character. Everyone said that he had good looks, resourcefulness, and talent. It’s just that when Yan Tianhen came to the Purple Emperor’s Heavenly Capital, Yan Huanyu had already gone outside to gain experience, and then he went directly to Myriad Dao Academy. Until now, it was the first time that Yan Tianhen had seen Yan Huanyu personally with his own eyes.

The Prince of King Zhang was indeed different.

Yan Tianhen felt that the Prince was pleasant and had a good attitude, so he also relaxed and said, “It’s nothing. If his family doesn’t discipline him well, there will always be outsiders to teach him how to be a man when he goes out. Little Prince is innocent and doesn’t stick to one pattern. I’ve never taken it to heart. Speaking of which, you and I are still from the same clan. No matter how, we are still cousins, so you don’t have to be so formal.”

Yan Tianhen was very happy. I just said that he was innocent, and this boy has already begun to blossom.

Yan Tianhen would naturally get along with him on the surface, so he nodded and said, “Thank you, Cousin Huanyu.”

Yan Huanyu said to Yan Chenxiao, “Come with me.”

Yan Chenxiao knew that his life was hard to save, and he followed Yan Huanyu with a face of despair, but when he passed by Yan Tianhen, he still stabbed Yan Tianhen with a fierce glare in his eyes.

Yan Tianhen tilted his head and stuck out his tongue at him, making a face, and almost made Yan Chenxiao jump and explode.

Qi Feiqing, who was watching the excitement by the side, was immediately overwhelmed with joy. “Oh, so this kid can also be scared ah. When he was in the Royal Heavenly Capital, he was putting on airs every day!”

Yan Tianhen, however, didn’t smile and said, “My Cousin Huanyu is really calm. If he wanted to be my enemy, I’m afraid that with my state of mind, I won’t be his opponent.”

Qi Feiqing stopped smiling. “Not ‘if he wanted to’. He is inevitably your enemy.”

King Zhang had only temporarily retreated from the edge these years. He still had the Black and White Crow Guards in his hands. Yan Tianhen’s position as the second heir was like a living target, dangling in front of all those who aspire to that position.

Nobody knew just how much effort Yan Zhonghua secretly devoted to preserving Yan Tianhen’s life.

Having him enter Myriad Dao Academy no matter what, was in order to ensure his safety.

After all, Myriad Dao Academy was notoriously strict, and disciples were never allowed to kill each other. Once discovered, it would be investigated to the end and in order to prevent this from happening, the sect would also protect the disciples in all aspects.

In this regard, Yan Zhonghua was very rest assured.

King Zhang was probably the one who wanted Yan Tianhen to die most.

As the eldest son of King Zhang and the first successor to the palace of King Zhang, how can Yan Huanyu have a good impression of Yan Tianhen? It’ll already be a miracle if he doesn’t harm Yan Tianhen.

Yan Tianhen never put Yan Chenxiao in his eyes, because a barking dog doesn’t bite people. What Yan Chenxiao looked like on the surface was what he looked like in private. He hated Yan Tianhen, so he acted plainly. He wanted to humiliate Yan Tianhen, so he bluntly said that he wanted to compete with him.

Such people were easier to deal with.

Yan Tianhen made a final conclusion about Yan Huanyu, who was someone not easy to deal with.

After all the Dao Division competitions, Yin Nian, who was supposed to meet with friends, was soon found missing.

Of course, the disciples would only doubt where he went to hang out, and would never doubt that he had already left.

At this moment, Yin Nian was listening to scolding on Penglai Island.

“Look at you, you are so careless even on the competition stage. Fortunately, he didn’t intend to hurt you. Otherwise, how can you still stand here right now without any injuries?” The speaker was Yin Chongyue, who frowned and scolded this son with painstaking care. He really looked like a father.

Lin Xuanzhi was sitting on one side to tease Bifang, and on Bifang’s side were two tiger cubs, chasing each other to play.

It was a happy scene.

Yin Nian also felt aggrieved and said, “It’s nothing more than a competition. How can I know that the boy was so crazy that he didn’t even want his own life? My puppet took a long time to make, yet he just cut off its head just like this. I feel so distressed.”

Yin Chongyue felt a little softhearted when he heard this, and said, “Forget it. Fortunately, it was nothing major, and it’s just a puppet. Dad will personally make another one for you tomorrow.”

Yin Nian smiled, rushed to hold Yin Chongyue, and said, “Father, you are so kind.”

Lin Xuanzhi said quietly, “Don’t be so anxious to act like a baby and pretend to be pitiful. I don’t know how many times I have told you before. No matter when, you can’t relax your vigilance. You just treated my warnings as talking nonsense, right?”

Yin Nian was not afraid of Yin Chongyue, but he was afraid of this mysterious master who made people unable to guess his depth.

Yin Nian immediately jumped down from Yin Chongyue and stood in order, saying, “Master, I was wrong. I really know I made a mistake this time. I shouldn’t underestimate any enemy.”

“Since you made a mistake, you will be punished.”

Yin Nian, “…”

Lin Xuanzhi said, “A swordmaster in the North Courtyard thinks you are not bad, so don’t go to the East Courtyard, and go directly to the North Courtyard.”

Yin Nian, “…”

Of course, Yin Nian didn’t want to. He cried, “No! Master, didn’t we agree before that I would go to the East Courtyard and continue to learn swordsmanship with you? Why would you drive me to the North Courtyard?”

Yin Chongyue touched Yin Nian’s dog’s head and said, “Just forget it and go to the North Courtyard. If you and Huarong get too close, it would easily arouse people’s suspicion. Your Master and I originally planned to let you enter the Myriad Dao Academy incognito, but you just had to expose your identity, so we have no choice.”

To put it bluntly, it meant that he had to deal with the consequences of courting death by himself.

Yin Nian was devastated and very sad, and said, “Father, you don’t love me anymore.”

Yin Chongyue looked at his stupid son lovingly and said, “It is precisely because Dad loves you that he didn’t beat you to death.”

Yin Nian, “…”

Lin Xuanzhi touched the head of the coquettish Bifang. Bifang was immediately poked by the sharp-eyed Ah Bai.

Ah Bai had become more and more coquettish these years, and he couldn’t stand this silly bird who could only breathe fire and behave coquettishly in front of Lin Xuanzhi.

Bifang and Ah Bai soon fought together and became a ball.

Lin Xuanzhi watched the children fighting, but he didn’t pay much attention to them. He said to Yin Nian, “School will officially begin in a few days. You should also understand the rules of Myriad Dao Academy. You can’t use spirit stones here. You can only exchange items for other items or earn the sect’s contribution points through labor. Now you can start considering how to make money.”

Yin Nian cried out strangely and said, “This can’t be? Master, you won’t just look at me, the cutest apprentice, be penniless and ignore me, right?”

“Make money by yourself.”

Yin Nian turned to Yin Chongyue.

Yin Chongyue chuckled twice, pinched his chin and said, “I’ve always found this rule very interesting. Freshmen can’t handle the tasks on the task list, and they also don’t have much ability. Naturally, they can only do some manual labor to make a living. Son, Dad really wants to see you at work.”

Yin Nian, “…”

Good, very good, this is the so-called screwing over your disciple.

Huarong Sword Immortal had never liked to have people around him. He liked quietness. Yin Nian had been very sensible ever since he was a child. Therefore, he didn’t stay long, so he left Penglai Island with Yin Chongyue on their swords.

While flying over the sky, Yin Nian couldn’t help looking back at Penglai Island, which was getting farther and farther away. He saw Lin Xuanzhi still sitting in the same place.

Yin Nian was inexplicably sad, and said, “Father, your relationship with Master is so close, so why are you two not together yet?”

Yin Chongyue was very amused, and said, “How can I get together with him? What is in your little mind?”

Yin Nian felt unconvinced, and asked persistently, “Why can’t you be together? You guys look so compatible.”

Yin Chongyue rubbed Yin Nian’s head and said, “There is a person in your master’s heart. Although that person has been away from him for many years, your master has never let go of him.”

It was the first time Yin Nian heard Yin Chongyue mention this matter. He couldn’t help being shocked, even more shocked than when he was caught off guard by Gu Ning’s trick not long ago.

“How can a man like my master have a lover in his heart?” Yin Nian was confused in the wind, as if he heard a big joke. “Not even the heart stone could sense what Master desires. How can a man who has no desire and no greed hide a person in his heart?”

He didn’t believe it, and everyone else also didn’t believe it. No one would’ve guessed that Huarong Sword Immortal, who could even silence the heart stone, would actually have a beloved.

And it was even hidden so deeply.

Yin Chongyue looked at Yin Nian with deep meaning. “Silly boy, when your master passed the heart stone’s test, it was seven years ago. At that time, he was hit by catastrophic destruction, and all his hopes had been dashed to pieces, so there were no more waves in his heart. That’s why the heart stone said that he has no desires and emotions. But as long as he is human, how can he never have desires and emotions?”

Yin Nian’s heart was pounding, panic-stricken.
