Rebirth Of The Supreme Celestial Being (1-200)

65- A Business Transaction

“This is your new place.” The attendant smiled with squinted eyes and said, “This is the room Master personally picked out for Xuanzhi young master. If Xuanzhi young master has any other requests, feel free to let me know. Right, I’m called Yu Shu, I’m the attendant who cares for Master’s sword1.”

Lin Xuanzhi nodded and said, “Thanks for the trouble, I don’t need anything else for now.”

“We have also prepared some servants for both young masters. Right now they’re just waiting for the two young masters to select which of them you want to serve you.”

“We won’t need servants.” Lin Xuanzhi said, “I’m not used to being waited on by others, please thank Master on my behalf.”

“Master had said that everything will go as Xuanzhi young master’s wishes.” Yu Shu smiled as he said, “Then I won’t disturb the two young masters now. I’ll be taking my leave.”

After Yu Shu left, the sullen Yan Tianhen who hadn’t spoken a single word and was kicking little stones at a side walked over to the peach blossom tree in their new yard. Then he gave the tree trunk two good kicks.

He had a lot of resentment pent up in his heart but nowhere to vent it, so he could only take his frustrations out on other things.

Lin Xuanzhi walked over and said, “Why is Ah Hen angry with him? If you’re dissatisfied, you should be directing your dissatisfaction towards those who had chased us to that small yard.”

The one he was talking about was Madam Bai. As for Fifth elder…since he didn’t openly throw stones at him when he was down, Lin Xuanzhi naturally wouldn’t bear grudges against him.

Yan Tianhen pouted, then said indignantly, “At first, when they saw that Dage was of no more use to the Lin family, they threw Dage aside like you were a piece of rag and didn’t care about Dage at all. They couldn’t wait to see Dage disappear from the face of the earth then. But now that they have to ask you for help, they’re suddenly giving Dage tiny favours here and there. This is just way too unfair for Dage!”

How could Lin Xuanzhi not see what they were trying to do?

And realistically speaking, even if he does turn his nose up at such pragmatic behaviour, he couldn’t make an enemy out of everyone.

Lin Xuanzhi broke off a branch from the peach blossom tree, then pa.s.sed it to Yan Tianhen and steadily said, “Ah Hen, the world operates in this manner: if you’re strong, everyone will try to curry favour with you and worship you because they want something from you; if you’re weak, then they will step on you and trample all over you because they think that you can be wantonly humiliated.”

Yan Tianhen said with great resentment, “I will never forget the face of that Bai woman when she got people to carry you when you were unconscious from our original yard to that dilapidated one. I really, really want to kill her!”

Lin Xuanzhi placed his hand on Yan Tianhen’s shoulder and gently brought him into his arms, then said, “Ah Hen shouldn’t get so angry over that kind of sc.u.m. Your anger will take a toll on your body, it’s not worth it. Also, Dage will be worried.”

Yan Tianhen pouted and said, “But now, Dage has already become the Lin family’s most important craftsman. From now on, that Bai person wouldn’t dare to bully Dage again.”

“The time for our revenge has not yet come. It’s easy to decorate something that’s already beautiful, but difficult to send someone charcoal in the snow2; most people in this world act like that, Ah Hen will meet many more people like this in the future, so you need not mind them too much.”
