Rebirth Of The Supreme Celestial Being (201-400)

361- One Goes, One Follows

Lin Xuanzhi looked at him, "Can I ask why?"

Bei Shitian was silent for a moment. "Myriad Beasts Demonic Forest is very dangerous, it is very likely that we will never leave once we enter."

Even if he and Wan Yitong will never happen, he does not want Wan Yitong to be in danger.

In the past, most of the places he picked were dangerous, although Wan Yitong would secretly follow along, but before entering the dangerous places Bei Shitian would walk around in circles to lose Wan Yitong and make him unable to track him.

Most times Wan Yitong would wait outside for him to finish training, he would take the initiative to come but would not show himself.

It was not until one time, when Bei Shitian returned to a small town, his whole body completely covered with blood and his steps were unsteady, Wan Yitong, who was hidden in an unknown place, rushed to him nervously and dragged him to a private house to treat his wounds.

Since then Wan Yitong changed to openly following in the name of their master, watching as he killed people and hunted demons, watching as with every step he stained Lianlian with fresh blood, both of his hands filled with human lives.

Bei Shitian also noticed that as Wan Yitong saw his dark and gloomy side, Wan Yitong's attitude towards him became increasingly uncertain. From openly being concerned at first to gradually developing a tone of mockery whenever he saw him. Allowing fellow Junior Martial Brothers of the Peak to isolate him and exclude him, hoping to use this atmosphere to pressure him to exercise restraint.

Bei Shitian thought it was laughable. Since childhood, Wan Yitong was a young master whose way of thinking was bold and imaginative, he did not understand the feelings of people, so he was ignorant of why the Wan family would suddenly attack the Bei family, and also did not know that Bei Shitian already sold himself to the devil, in this life it was impossible to walk by his side.

Wan Yitong was not aware of the careful thoughts that he could not hide. Tricking outsiders was one thing, but when it comes to the fellow Martial Brothers of the same peak, how many would not have understood his thought process.

Bei Shitian was not isolated, both Zhan Fengting and Esteemed Lan Yue talked to him and sought him out to have conversations. Using those conversations as a way to find a breakthrough and the demons in his heart, and resolve them.

However, Esteemed Lan Yue found Bei Shitian's obsession was too deep for him to resolve easily.

His heart demons were born from the raging fire of revenge and because the demons were too heavy, they were more eager for revenge. This was a cycle of death. The answer was there was no solution.

Esteemed Lan Yue told him, "From then on, no matter what you kill or experience, Teacher will never intervene again, but you must not do anything against the world's moral principles or hurt your fellow disciple, Wan Yitong."

Bei Shitian agreed.

He simply wanted to extinguish the Wan family, he was not born to kill nor did he enjoy it.

As for Wan Yitong, even if he was not his fellow Junior Martial Brother of the same teacher he would never desire to consider him as an enemy, to kill him was even more impossible.

Perhaps Lan Yue said something to Zhan Fengting, Zhan Fengting never looked for him to chat alone again. It's just that whenever he saw him, he occasionally sighed with sadness and had the wish to say something but didn't.

Bei Shitian became more alone, he traveled by himself and did not talk to others easily when he met them. His whereabouts were even more uncertain.

For a time, Wan Yitong had started sleeping on the tree outside his door because he was scared he would leave in the night. If there was any movement inside, he would realize.

One person goes, one person follows. Both pretended not to acknowledge each other's existence, for ten years that was all that happened.

However this time, Bei Shitian did not want and could not pretend to know nothing.

Wan Yitong was a delicate young master. Myriad Beasts Demonic Forest was not suitable for him.

Lin Xuanzhi also stayed silent for a moment, then he lifted his head to calmly look at Bei Shitian, inadvertently seeing a new scar appearing and spreading, inch by inch, near his neck.

"Senior Martial Brother Bei, the relationship between you and Senior Martial Brother Wan, I have no qualifications to speak on it, I only want to say a few words for Younger Senior Martial Brother." Lin Xuanzhi calmly spoke, "Treasure the people in front of you, don't wait until you lose them to treasure them."

Bei Shitian's expression was cold. "You are still young, even if you say those words they do not hold much persuasiveness."

Lin Xuanzhi smiled softly, "Indeed it is not persuasive, however even though I am young, when it comes to matters of the heart I have had past experiences, but since Senior Martial Brother has made up his mind, it is useless even if I say more."

Bei Shitian opened his mouth. "How has it been, having Lianlian in your hands?"

"Lianlian is not my sword after all, I can purify it, however I can not fully use it." Lin Xuanzhi said.

Bei Shitian had some disbelief. "With your cultivation and talent, you can't even conquer Lianlian?"

"Conquering is fine" Lin Xuanzhi revealed a secret. "I am a craftsman, if I wanted, I could completely refine all the Qi you left on Lianlian. However, I am a single-minded person, I already have Zhige, I will never need another sword." Lianlian let out a few contending noises but was kept in check by Lin Xuanzhi and pressed down.

Bei Shitian, "......."

Bei Shitian was visibly doubtful. "Isn't Zhige already missing?"

Lin Xuanzhi replied, "The missing can still be found."

The look in Bei Shitian's eyes slightly changed, with deep meaning he said, "It seems you already have a plan, then I look forward to the day Zhige will see the sun."

Lin Xuanzhi lightly smiled, "There will be."

A few days later when Lin Xuanzhi was sword training Lin Zezhi came to him with a grave expression.

Lin Xuanzhi finished the set of sword practice techniques before he slowly sheathed his sword, walking over to Lin Zezhi, he asked. "What has happened with the family again?"

Lin Zezhi's expression did not look good and carried tones of anxiety. "Young Master, the family has sent news, they said Yurou is pregnant. Now, Fourth Uncle's family says Du Qiying must marry Yurou or else they will come find you and ask for an explanation!"

Lin Xuanzhi raised the tip of his eyebrow.

These kinds of things, Lin Xuanzhi already told Ji Lanjun to not specifically tell him and just handle it herself, but it seemed that currently, Ji Lanjun could not control Madam Bai and those people.

However, it was no wonder; the funerals and marriages of children of the main family members were a matter of great importance to the entire household, Although Lin Yurou's reputation was truly terrible to the point no one in the Five Continents would want her, now she was suddenly pregnant. This was also an opportunity - Ji Lanjun probably did not know what choices would be good here.

Lin Xuanzhi pondered slightly, "What does the family think?"

"The mother's value increases as her son's position rises." Lin Zezhi concisely answered.

Lin Xuanzhi suddenly laughed. "What a good plan. What are Lin Yurou's intentions?"

Lin Zezhi walked with Lin Xuanzhi along the lake.

"Yurou's intentions are quite obvious. The only person she can depend on is Du Qiying. Du Qiying and He Cailing's engagement is now completely void, there was no way for it to recover, if Yurou can take this opportunity and marry Du Qiying, it would be thought of as a good thing." A good thing?

It seemed that Lin Yurou's attitude was very resolute.
