400;\">Boom!<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Suddenly, there was the loud crash of a collapsing building. Startled, Yu Zhen\u2019s mind instantly jolted away from his indecent thoughts. He flung aside the blankets, pulled on his pajamas, rushed to the balcony, and looked towards the source of the noise.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The rickety wooden house which was used to store random junk had been reduced to ruins. Yin Yan stood before the ruins with his black sword in hand. The sunlight bounced off it, producing a dull glare.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shocked, Yu Zhen asked, \u201cWhat are you doing?\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yin Yan looked over and put away his sword. Calmly, he replied, \u201cThe house was too worn out. Knock it down and rebuild it.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c&#8230;\u201d <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s your justification for an unscheduled violent demolition first thing in the morning?<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yin Yan walked close to the balcony and stretched out both of his arms. \u201cCome down.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yu Zhen estimated the height from the second floor of the building to the ground. He gulped and replied, \u201cGo down? How do I go down? There\u2019s no ladder here.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cJump straight down.\u201d Yin Yan looked at him as if that was obvious.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The plant nursery was quite old, so each level of the house was taller than that of the average house. Even if he was only on the second floor, there were still three to four meters between him and the ground. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If I jump down, I\u2019ll definitely break my legs.<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although Yu Zhen\u2019s mind had been muddled by love, he wasn\u2019t stupid. He shook his head vigorously, not believing that the dumb, idol drama-like stunt had been suggested by Yin Yan.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yin Yan slightly crooked a finger.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yu Zhen\u2019s eyes widened as a familiar spiritual energy wrapped around him, and he lost control of his body. His body took a step forward, climbed over the banister, and jumped.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The moment that his body soared into empty air, the spiritual energy around him disappeared. A yelp lodged itself in his throat as he expected to miserably crash into the ground. At that moment, Yin Yan\u2019s voice sounded in his mind.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[Circulate your spiritual energy. Calm down and relax your body.]\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The voice seemed to have a magical effect on him. Yu Zhen did as instructed and he felt a warmth in his <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">dantian<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. His descent immediately slowed down and he softly settled into a warm embrace.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAlthough you can\u2019t fly on a sword yet, you can partially use spiritual energy to<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> walk on air<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u201d Yin Yan set Yu Zhen firmly on the ground. Then he summoned his sword once again and slashed at the small building by them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rumble. Rumble.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Violent demolition number two was achieved.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yu Zhen was dazed by the shock.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThis one was also too worn out. It also had the aura of the previous owners.\u201d Finally satisfied, Yin Yan put away his sword. \u201cSince the plant nursery was already in need of repairs, something can be rebuilt here.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yu Zhen whipped his head around and glared at Yin Yan. He wanted to bite him.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWant to bite me?\u201d Yin Yan met his look. He lowered his head, moving it closer to Yu Zhen\u2019s, and tapped his forehead. \u201cBad child.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sugar-coated bullet.<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yu Zhen pursed his lips and looked at Yin Yan\u2019s face which was calm, but still appeared to be teasing him. He secretly pinched himself.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Crazy.<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The spot that was pinched hurt, but there was a sort of masochistic joy within his heart.<\/span><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Either I\u2019m crazy, or Yin Yan is crazy. Or maybe the world is crazy.<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yin Yan was already very charming, but after they became more intimate, Yin Yan appeared even more charming to him.<\/span><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Summer must have arrived.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Yu Zhen\u2019s breath turned shallow.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The summer sun scorched his brains and induced an uncontrollable fondness for Yin Yan. He stared blankly as his feelings rose to a boil and completely overflowed in him.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With no place to live, Yu Zhen could no longer use the excuse of tidying up the plant nursery to stay there overnight. He had no choice but to return to the apartment with Yin Yan.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, he wasn\u2019t fully at ease as he had tidied up less than half of the plant nursery, and the planted flowers still needed tending to.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Understanding the direction of his thoughts, Yin Yan said, \u201cYou\u2019d said that if you bought this plant nursery, you wouldn\u2019t need to spend too much energy on it.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a last-ditch effort, Yu Zhen reasoned, \u201c&#8230; But Xiaoxiao and San\u2019er don\u2019t have physical bodies. They can\u2019t take care of the flowers. They can only guard the plant nursery. And there\u2019s no time to hire workers, so I can only be a bit busier for a short while.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yin Yan mercilessly quashed his excuses. \u201cThe plants that you\u2019ve moved from the dimensional pot have been partially transformed under the influence of the bodhi lotus. It\u2019s not suitable to have outsiders take care of them.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yu Zhen, the owner of those plants, was even more aware of that point than Yin Yan.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He choked on his words, and with a guilty conscience, he could say no more.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having acquired his own plant nursery with much difficulty, he had indeed wanted to spend more time there.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yin Yan smoothly drove through an intersection, then glanced at Yu Zhen. \u201cI\u2019ll settle the issue of hiring workers for you. You can come to check on the plant nursery at regular intervals, and I\u2019ll accompany you. However, you can\u2019t continue to live here. You also cannot fall behind with your cultivation.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yu Zhen raised his head and looked at Yin Yan with glistening eyes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cYou&#8217;re also not allowed to secretly do naughty things.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI didn\u2019t do naugh-\u201d Yu Zhen started to retort, but upon remembering the previous night\u2019s failed \u201cseduction via white robes\u201d, he quietly shut his mouth. He then became obedient, sitting properly and facing the front.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After being away from the apartment for a few days, he\u2019d missed the place. As soon as they arrived, Yu Zhen plunged himself into the dimensional pot.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He had been asking Xu Wu to retrieve things from the dimensional pot for the past few days, so he hadn\u2019t personally entered it to look after the place.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The little tree by the lotus pond had remained at the same stage for quite some time, still only bearing ten leaves. Vexed, he asked Xu Wu, but it didn\u2019t know what was going on. He then rushed over to Yin Yan\u2019s side and asked him, but Yin Yan said to leave it up to fate and not to worry about it too much.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With no solutions, he visited the tree every day to feed it merits. That way, even if it didn\u2019t grow new leaves, it likely wouldn\u2019t lose any either. [pg change]<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the construction site, the work for the greenery finally started. The plants which were needed had been prepared well in advance using <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">xirang*<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. He had brought workers with him to every large plant nursery, and with great fanfare, he bought batches of plants of all types. Then, behind the scenes, he proceeded to toss them all into the dimensional pot and secretly replace them with the ones which he had grown.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: right;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><sup>*Reminder: special soil<\/sup>\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There was no other way of dealing with the matter. His own plant nursery hadn\u2019t been completely fixed up, so to avoid looking suspicious, he could only use that silly trick.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One by one, trucks drove into the construction site carrying flower seedlings and tree saplings. The workers planting the flowers were baked under the hot and dry weather, but when they smelled the sweet scent of the plants, their minds cleared up and they stood up, gathering together.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI\u2019ll have to thank everyone for their hard work for the next part.\u201d Yu Zhen left the first truck and greeted the lead worker.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The lead worker was a single-armed, middle-aged man. Although his disposition was serious, gratefulness was apparent in his eyes. \u201cIt\u2019s not particularly hard work, it\u2019s not hard at all. For Mr. Yu and Mr. Yin to employ us handicapped veterans and physically challenged workers, and with such good benefits, we are truly fortunate.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yu Zhen patted the man\u2019s shoulder and didn\u2019t say any more polite words. He greeted everyone and asked them to unload the goods and bring them to the planting areas.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The unusual workers weren\u2019t professional gardeners, so Yu Zhen had to detail the method for planting each piece of greenery. The workers listened seriously. Although they were uncouth fellows, they were attentive and reliable in their work.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yu Zhen didn\u2019t act like other bosses who gave orders but didn\u2019t lift a finger. He took part in the process of planting the flowers and other plants. Occasionally, he gave merits to wilted plants and those which were damaged during transportation.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When Yin Yan brought Feng Yuan over, they saw him digging a hole amongst a flock of workers.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although he was a cultivator, he was also a human made of flesh and blood. His face was red from being under the sun for a whole day. His shirt was covered in sweat, and there were two streaks of mud on his face which were from who knows where.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Were all of these plants selected by Xiao Zhen?&#8221; Feng Yuan squatted down and touched a sapling.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cHe obtained them from different channels and picked them personally,\u201d Yin Yan replied. Then he said his goodbyes and left the old man in the care of Jin Kai, Yin Hexiang\u2019s assistant.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Feng Lin squatted down next to Feng Yuan. Pretending to observe the sapling, he asked, \u201cGrandpa, did you notice something?\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Feng Yuan shook his head. \u201cAlthough Yin Yan\u2019s energy is strange and his fate is also strange, he is only an ordinary person. And he doesn\u2019t seem to know that Yu Zhen is a cultivator.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bo Xiu also squatted down and shuffled close to them. \u201cOld Feng, today we must get past Yin Yan and have a talk with Yu Zhen. The recent activities in B City should be related to him. Even if it\u2019s only for the stability of the cultivators\u2019 community in B City, we have to establish contact with him.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Feng Yuan shook his head and replied as he had before, \u201cLet\u2019s keep watching.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Without Bo Xiu saying another word, Feng Lin piped in with worry, \u201cGrandpa, what are you watching out for? We\u2019ve confirmed Yin Yan\u2019s ordinary person status. We\u2019ve also confirmed that Yu Zhen isn\u2019t using some kind of evil technique to bewitch Yin Yan. And on top of that, Yu Zhen is solving the issue of the evil energy from this piece of land. We\u2019ve confirmed that Yu Zhen is a benevolent cultivator who works for the good of the people. So what are you waiting to see?\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bo Xiu also looked at Feng Yuan expectantly, showing that his thoughts were the same as Feng Lin\u2019s.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Feng Yuan hesitated for a moment. With a slight movement of his fingers, he temporarily stopped the people nearby from hearing their words. Then he said, \u201cThat wasn\u2019t what I\u2019m looking for. Actually\u2026 When I had met Qing Xu Zi years ago, I had a conversation with him and he told me something.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhat thing?\u201d Feng Lin impatiently asked.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although it wasn\u2019t a good place to talk, Feng Yuan suddenly didn\u2019t want to keep the secret any longer, and he spilled the details. \u201cQing Xu Zi said he had determined that a great evil would be born into this world via a person. He wasn\u2019t able to calculate the location of the person of great evil, but he had reasons to suspect that they would be by his side. Then he immediately chose a place to live in seclusion. As much as possible, he\u2019d wanted to prevent the appearance of the person of great evil. In all the years since, Qing Xu Zi hasn\u2019t made an appearance. Everyone knew that he lived in seclusion in H Province, but no one went to look for him.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With Qing Xu Zi\u2019s name reappearing in the cultivation world, Feng Yuan\u2019s thoughts returned to that matter.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The gears in Bo Xiu\u2019s mind spun quickly, and he immediately understood the old man\u2019s misgivings. Frowning, he looked towards Yu Zhen who was speaking with Yin Yan. \u201cOld Feng, are you thinking that Qing Xu Zi\u2019s predictions came true? That Yu Zhen&#8230;\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cBut Grandpa, didn\u2019t you say that the merits on Yu Zhen\u2019s body are very dense? A person who brings great evil wouldn\u2019t be able to retain merits.\u201d Feng Lin\u2019s thoughts were straightforward and he found Feng Yuan\u2019s words to be contradictory.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In rare agreement with Feng Lin, he replied, \u201cThat\u2019s why I said to keep watching. Yu Zhen came to B City alone and Qing Xi Zi didn\u2019t follow him. There are two possibilities for this. One possibility is that Qing Xu Zi is still living in seclusion and the person of great evil hasn\u2019t appeared. The other possibility is that Qing Xu Zi is already\u2026 but the person of great evil has been born, and Yu Zhen is the successor chosen to deal with the person of great evil. I\u2019m more inclined towards the latter possibility. Combined with the recent happenings in B City, I suspect that the person of great evil is in B City, beside Yu Zhen.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beside Yu Zhen&#8230; <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">from what they knew, Yu Zhen has had the most contact with the Yin family since arriving in B City.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Feng Lin and Bo Xiu\u2019s gaze fell on Yin Yan.<\/span><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speaking of which\u2026 The fate of the Yin family\u2019s young master is quite strange. For several years, he was supposedly chasing after a woman like it was a matter of life or death. But then he all of a sudden changed his inclinations and married Yu Zhen.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moreover, this Yin family\u2019s young master had a car accident in H Province before the new year. And he met Yu Zhen at that time.<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The signs of the evil spirit appeared shortly after Yin Yan returned to B City\u2026<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Suspicious, it\u2019s too suspicious.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A coincidence? It\u2019s too much of a coincidence.<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A good and honest cultivator gave up his own sexual preferences to get close to the person of great evil. It was all to resolve a great crisis in the cultivation world. <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In their minds, they conjured up a story. A person was poised to resolve a crisis while giving up their life and facing the mouth of the wolf.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Feng Lin and Bo Xiu looked back at Yu Zhen. They watched Yu Zhen smile widely at Yin Yan, appearing to be full of unrestrained love. They sighed deeply.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If that is truly the case, Qing Xu Zi\u2019s successor has suffered bitter hardships\u2026 He\u2019s a good child, a truly good child.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fe694b7 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"fe694b7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-56d0c923 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"56d0c923\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Translator(s): Epsea<br \/>Editor(s): Miiya<br \/>Proofer(s): Avalie<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-093a1e6 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"093a1e6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2e6e1b0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2e6e1b0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Author:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PS: Thank you for everyone\u2019s new year wishes =3= This is actually a prewritten manuscript for when visiting relatives.
