secretly communicated to Yu Zhen, but he saw Yu Zhen turn his head when he replied. Thinking that Yu Zhen might have been talking to him, Yin Le uncertainly asked, \u201cYu <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ge<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, what did you say? I didn\u2019t hear it clearly.\u201d At the same time, he leaned closer and attempted to break away from the claw grip of Yin Yan\u2019s hand on his shoulder.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yu Zhen smiled at him and shook his head, indicating there was nothing to say.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yin Yan saw through his intention and pulled Yin Le back while also stepping forward to hide Yu Zhen behind his back. He cut off Lin Zouwei\u2019s line of sight, then ignored the boy and addressed the teacher. \u201cHello, I\u2019m Yin Le\u2019s brother, Yin Yan.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The teacher quickly replied to the greeting and gave a self-introduction, then explained the incident simply. He expressed that it was due to his negligence as a teacher which allowed the children to start a fight at school and sustain injuries.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yin Yan indicated that it was alright. Then he asked, &#8220;Did you call the police?&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shocked, the teacher asked, &#8220;What?&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cA red ruby was used to make the pendant on my brother\u2019s peach wood sword, so its value is quite considerable. If it was an ordinary fight between students, there would be no need to call the police. But since this dispute involves money, it would be better to involve the police.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yin Yan\u2019s reasonable words made the teacher break out in cold sweat.<\/span><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">R-red ruby. I thought that pendant was just a red glass bead. <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The teacher had confiscated the peach wood sword, that star of the disaster which Yin Le had insisted was fake and Lin Zouwei had insisted was real. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And now it&#8217;s in my pocket.<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I suddenly feel like my pocket weighs a thousand jin*.<\/span><\/i><\/p><p style=\"text-align: right;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><sup>*1000 jin = 500kg = 78 stone 10lb<\/sup><\/span><\/i><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He quickly put his hand into his pocket, carefully lifting the sword out, and finally handed it to Yin Yan. \u201cHere\u2019s the peach wood sword. Please take a look at it first. If Student Yin happened to have made a mistake, then&#8230;\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lin Zouwei shouted, \u201cOf course he\u2019s wrong! If that red gem is fake, then I\u2019ll be run over by a car when I leave.\u201d Appearing angry, he coldly spat, \u201cI dare to swear on my life! Would you lot dare?\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yin Le was so angered he was about to spit some harsh words back, but Yin Yan pressed down on his shoulder, helping him calm down.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe ruby is real.\u201d Yu Zhen spoke up suddenly. He picked up the peach wood sword from the teacher\u2019s hand and rubbed the body of the sword. Then he added, \u201cBut the wooden sword has been switched out. It\u2019s a fake.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lin Zouwei\u2019s expression fell and he shouted, \u201cYou lot had better not be looking for trouble where there\u2019s none! One second it\u2019s that \u2018I\u2019ve stolen the peach wood sword\u2019, the next second, \u2018the ruby is real and the sword is fake\u2019. Do I have nothing better to do? Why would I not take the ruby, but take the wooden sword and then rack my brains for a way to swap in an exact replica? This family! Are you done yet?! Is it fun to wrongly accuse someone?! Scram! I\u2019m going home! If you want to call the police, then call the police! I\u2019d like to see what you can find out with the police!\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was a magic item made by a cultivator. It didn\u2019t matter if the sword contained something special within it <sup>[1]<\/sup>, it would look like an ordinary block of wood to regular people. Even if the police were to conduct a search, they wouldn\u2019t be able to notice a thing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Looking at Lin Zouwei\u2019s confidence in his own suggestion, Yu Zhen\u2019s hands tightened into fists.<\/span><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He did that on purpose. He obviously knows what\u2019s special about the peach wood sword. That\u2019s why he would give up the more valuable gem while switching out the wooden sword. If the switch hadn\u2019t been discovered, if that magical tool was discovered by others, it could cause serious suffering. And if that happened, I could only bitterly keep my silence.<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lin Zouwei is unscrupulous. He thought that Yin Le would be dumb enough to miss that something was wrong with the peach wood sword. Or he didn\u2019t think that anyone in the Yin family knew about cultivation techniques, so no one would do anything to him over a piece of wood.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, it was also true that the Yin family were given the label of people who were bullied and trapped by their grandfather and uncles to hand over their goods. In short, they looked easy to bully.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Intuition told Yu Zhen that the boy before him was the son of his own currently faceless father. It was reasonable to assume that the boy had some cultivators&#8217; knowledge as he was taught by the adopted son of a Taoist priest. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s why he doesn\u2019t want the gem, but he wants the wooden sword instead.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Noticing his gaze, Lin Zouwei stopped shouting and turned to look at Yu Zhen. Meeting Yu Zhen\u2019s deep, bottomless gaze, panic grew in his heart. A cool feeling brushed by his neck as if something terrifying had fixed its gaze there.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yin Yan suddenly stepped between them and pushed Yin Le in front of Yu Zhen. He picked the peach wood sword out of Yu Zhen\u2019s hand, then turned it over in his own a couple of times. \u201cYin Le\u2019s wooden sword was made by someone in the family. It has a hollow interior, and the word \u201cLe\u201d is inscribed on the inside. In addition, it is filled with silver sand. But this one&#8230;\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ka.<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With a squeeze of his hand, Yin Yan broke the sword in half. He picked up one of the broken halves and showed it to the people nearby, adding, \u201cIt\u2019s solid. The wood used to make the sword was also valuable. Lin Zouwei, give your father a call. The police will be here shortly. You might need a guardian to help you.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lin Zouwei\u2019s expression froze and he stared at the two broken halves of the peach wood sword. He was like a duck with something stuck in its throat, unable to make a quack.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Everyone was shocked by the turn of events.<\/span><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The swords are not the same, so doesn\u2019t that mean that Lin Zouwei really did steal Yin Le\u2019s stuff? He also deliberately used a substitute?<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The teacher was also stunned. A complicated look was in his eyes as he glanced at the two broken halves of that solid wooden sword. He then glanced at Lin Zhouwei and frowned. Sighing, he turned around and dispersed the students and security personnel who were enjoying the drama, and then he invited Yin Yan to the conference room on the administrative floor.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the way things had developed, Yin Le was essentially able to vent his anger. When the police and Lin Zouwei\u2019s family\u2019s elder arrived, he deliberately said a few words of provocation to Lin Zouwei. The boy\u2019s expression was dark throughout the situation. Although Lin Zouwei was very angry about being mocked, he held his tongue. Occasionally, he pulled out his phone and tapped on it, sending messages to an unknown recipient.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yin Yan found an excuse to bring Yu Zhen out of the conference room. Then, standing at a corner, he fed Yu Zhen a pill and swept over Yu Zhen\u2019s body using spiritual energy.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yu Zhen resisted the feelings brought on by the sweeping spiritual energy, and he quietly explained, \u201cDon\u2019t worry Lin Zouwei had no effect on my taoist heart <sup>[2]<\/sup>.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yin Yan felt the pulse at his wrist and replied, \u201cThe elders of Lin Zouwei\u2019s family will be here soon.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yu Zhen\u2019s eyelashes trembled and he returned Yin Yan\u2019s hold on his hand.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cYu Zhen.\u201d Yin Yan held Yu Zhen\u2019s hand tightly. He hooked Yu Zhen\u2019s chin up and looked into his eyes. \u201cIf you don\u2019t want to face them, you can wait for me in the car. Don\u2019t worry too much, I\u2019m here.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As Yu Zhen looked into his calm and inviting gaze, the heaviness in his own heart lifted. He relaxed and hugged Yin Yan, burying his head in the crook of Yin Yan\u2019s neck. After a long sigh, he replied, \u201cIt\u2019s not that I don\u2019t want to face it. I just\u2026 just can\u2019t accept it in a short amount of time. How can they be so terrible\u2026? It doesn\u2019t matter, I\u2019ll take it slowly. I just need some time to process all this news.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was a moment of vulnerability, where he exposed the softest parts of his heart and sought out the comforting hold of his sweetheart. Since confirming their relationship, it was their first time holding each other without an ambiguous air around them.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yin Yan\u2019s heartstrings were tugged on. Seeing Yu Zhen leaning against him, full of trust, Yin Yan wrapped his arms around Yu Zhen and then planted a kiss on his forehead.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When Yu Zhen had sorted out his state of mind and returned to the conference room, the police and Lin Zouwei\u2019s parent had arrived. Zou Chengjing, Lin Zouwei\u2019s father, looked like a virtuous and educated middle-aged man. He was also someone from B City, but since most of his business was international, he didn\u2019t have dealings with the Yin family.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Between the father and son pair, one\u2019s surname was Lin and the other\u2019s was Zou. It was very obvious that Lin Zouwei hadn\u2019t used his father\u2019s surname.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seeing Yin Yan and Yu Zhen return, Zou Chengjing pulled his clearly unhappy son forwards. His face was filled with apology and guilt for failing to teach his son properly. After a self-introduction, he said, \u201cMr. Yin, my apologies. I didn\u2019t teach my child well. He has already confessed to me. He did indeed switch out the peach wood sword. At first, he only wanted to tease Yin Le a little. To tell you the truth, he has some interest in the young miss from the Bu family. Seeing her with Yin Le made him feel bitter, so he did something foolish.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After speaking, he didn\u2019t wait for a reply before pulling Lin Zouwei forward and scolding, \u201cHurry up and apologize. And return the wooden peach sword too. You\u2019re already an adult, why do you act so unruly and childish?\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lin Zouwei looked unwilling to do as asked. Half-heartedly, he lowered his head to the two people in front of him and said, \u201cSorry.\u201d Then he fished out an unadorned wooden sword and handed it over.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Immediately, Yu Zhen felt that the wooden sword was real. However, it was tainted with something else, something bad.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His fingers tightened. Nothing amiss could be gleaned from their expressions. The duo appeared to be a willful son and a father dealing with a headache-inducing child. Yu Zhen raised his hand, pretending to touch his forehead, but he secretly rubbed spiritual energy onto his eyes and looked at the seemingly ordinary Zou Chengjing.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using Clear Discernment, a world full of warm, drifting lights appeared. A red-black energy surrounded Zou Chengjing\u2019s body, making him stand out.<\/span><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Those are sins. Those are evil\u2019s consequences. It\u2019s his true nature that can\u2019t be hidden.<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He even bears lives on his shoulders.<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If Lin Zouwei was a sapling that grew at a crooked angle, Zou Chengjing would be a ghost tree that was completely rotten from the root up.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And from the red-black shroud surrounding the man, a red string led from that man\u2019s chest to Yu Zhen\u2019s.<\/span><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That day when we came to pick up Yin Le, the person of great evil that I saw at the school gates was Zou Chengjing. And this person is my father. My biological father. The person who passed his blood on to me.<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why is he such a person?<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Grandpa was such a nice person, how could he have this kind of adopted son?\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yu Zhen forced his eyes shut and dispelled Clear Discernment. He pressed down on the hand Yin Yan reached out to retrieve the sword, then he picked up the sword himself. As he did so, Yu Zhen didn\u2019t look at Lin Zouwei who was handing him the sword, but at Zou Chengjing instead. Like Yin Yan, he snapped the sword in half.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the sword broke, the spiritual energy on it dissipated, as did the wisp of black-colored, evil energy. The silvery sand within the sword quickly turned black and it flowed out of the cavity and spilled onto the floor.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt\u2019s dirtied.\u201d He heard himself speak. There was an unprecedented calm and cold detachment within himself. It carried a slight semblance to the way Yin Yan normally talked. \u201cWe from the Yin family never use what has been dirtied by others.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zou Chengjing, Yu Jincheng.*<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: right;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><sup>*Yu Jincheng = Zou Chengjing = Yu Zhen\u2019s father.
