  The Dragon Guard was obedient.

  Lin Shu thought to himself that there was nothing wrong with his orders.

  Throughout the ages, the idea of flood relief has been the same; stopping water, saving people, preventing epidemics — and then prioritizing according to the specific situation.

  Of course, an important reason was – There were supplies in Phoenix Mountain Villa and no fear about lack of money.

  The disaster relief in Jiangnan gradually moved in the right track and was in good order — at this time, the Imperial envoy team of the Imperial court also arrived.

  The leader was the unlucky Xiao Xuan.

  ——He was elated after losing his battle with Xiao Lingyang for the throne. However, Xiao Lingyang, who had a grudge against him, turned the tables and created a title for him that was similar to that of the regent — he had to attend and leave the court every day. He also had to live in the palace for a long time and cooperate with the Emperor to handle government affairs, which made Xiao Xuan furious.

  Xiao Xuan was reluctant to come to Jiangnan to clean up the mess, but he was overjoyed to see that the disaster relief had improved. He went to visit Lin Shu and loudly exclaimed that cousin sister-in-law had saved him from dire circumstances and he was extremely grateful.

  Lin Shu: “?”

  Xiao Xuan saw Guiltless from the corner of his eyes. He rushed over again and picked up Guiltless in a loving embrace: “Brother Lin, you have another child with him? He went to Nirvana and you are taking care of the children alone. Isn’t it very tiring?”

  Lin Shu: “.……En.”

  ——Younger Brothers were as gullible as his daughter, now both Xiao Xuan and Xiao Lingyang thought Xiao Shao had gone to Nirvana and didn’t know when he would return.

  Xiao Xuan immediately expressed his filial piety: “Cousin sister-in-law, why don’t I come and help take care of the children with you, this way I also don’t have to suffer in the Capital ……”

  Lin Shu: “?”

  However, before he could react, Xiao Xuan’s face was scratched by Guiltless in an instant.

  Xiao Xuan: “.……”

  He put down Guiltless bitterly, but his eyes were still staring.

  “Brother Lin, this kid really looks like you.”

  Lin Shu: “Huh?”

  Guiltless looked like him?

  ——No one has ever said such a thing.

  “It is impossible to tell at first glance.” Xiao Xiang looked carefully. “But I’ve seen countless beauties. When this child grows up, he will look as if he was carved out of the same mold as you.”

  Lin Shu: “I don’t think so.”

  Even Guiltless tilted his head and stared at Lin Shu and then shook his head.

  “It’s because you’re all dressed differently.” Xiao Xuan insisted: “You let my young nephew change into a white dress to try.”

  Lin Shu put the clothes that Fruit had worn in his earlier years and casually took out a set of long white clothes.

  Guiltless took off the heavy, ornate black robe and replaced it with white. ……

  still does not look alike.

  Xiao Xuan said, “The eyes are too red.”

  Guiltless rolled his pupil to the back of his eyes and turned it back again, the blood red pupil turned black.

  Still does not look like.

  Lin Shu continued to read the documents, not intending to take part in Xiao Xuan’s nonsensical talks.

  “The eyes are too evil.” Lin Shu heard Xiao Xuan say: “Brother Lin, look again.”

  Lin Shu looked up and saw Xiao Xuan had covered Guiltless’ eyes with a hair band.

  &#k2014;&#k2014;When there were only eyebrows, nose and mouth left to be seen, Lin Shu found that indeed Guiltless seemed to be carved out from the same mold as Yingying.

  ——And Yingying was just like himself.

  According to the passability, Guiltless really resembled him somewhat?

  Lin Shu frowned and asked, “How did your appearance come into being?”

  “Born with it.” Guiltless touched his face, “I’m not one of those fruits that grows after others.”

  \r \r \r

  ——Then that would be too much of a coincidence.

  But Guiltless frowned and said again without good grace, “Maybe because you helped me through the tribulation and I carried the effect, bah.”

  He looked askance at Lin Shu and said indifferently, “I’ve long felt that this face is unpleasant, I don’t want to look like this.”

  Lin Shu’s face was expressionless: “Oh.”

  Xiao Xuan: “Who do you want to look like?”

  Guiltless looked at him with his blood-red eyes and smiled strangely, “What’s it to do with you?”

  Xiao Xuan suddenly shivered, like he had encountered something horrible. He took a few steps back and became very uncomfortable for some time.

  Lin Shu: “What’s the matter with you?”

  “Nothing ……” Xiao Xuan’s tone was not lively at all, swallowing hard: “I just …… thought of a person. Although they don’t look alike …… it’s also impossible ……”

  His voice trembled a bit as he spoke.

  Lin Shu: “Who is it?”

  “Unlucky.” Xiao Xuan didn’t say anything more and quickly slipped away.

  Lin Shu didn’t care what bad memories he had remembered, and continued to coordinate the affairs of Jiangnan.

  Time flew. A few months down the road, he traveled to a lot of places in Jiangnan, did a lot of things, saved dirty children in the mud, and also hand-distributed porridge in the food-shelter hut.

  There seemed to be a lot of praise for him in the community, but he did not listen carefully.

  After the affairs of Jiangnan were gradually on the right track, Lin Shu spent nearly two years taking Guiltless to many places, seeing a lot of things and doing a lot of things.

  Two years.

  After the floods in Jiangnan, the world was thriving once again and the weather was no longer a problem.

  Because Lin Shu took Guiltless to travel the famous mountains and rivers, and often received help from his two younger brothers, his affairs were still very busy, either on his own initiative, or entrusted by others. Sometimes he went to rectify a certain Immortal Sect, sometimes to solve a side of the demon beasts, sometimes to solve corruption cases, and sometimes down the mountain to help the poor — plus the Headmistress of the Phoenix Mountain Villa gradually recovered from her injuries and spared no effort to rectify the Immortal path. These two years, his reputation in the Mortal world and the Immortal Dao gradually became as fragrant as the orchid.

  Just……

  “I’m sorry, this fairy. My heart belongs to someone else. I can’t respond to your affections.” He gently refused the jade necklace given by a fairy.

  Then, hearing the fairy crying and biting her handkerchief behind her, she said to her companion, “My father is the leader of the Southern Sea Sword Sect. He is also the richest in the world. Isn’t that enough to support Immortal Lord Lin?”

  The fairy’s companion said, “Alas, that is also true. Although the Phoenix Mountain Villa’s Big Miss was the world’s richest woman, we are inadequate compared to her. But Immortal Lord Lin is no longer a pure and innocent young man, and also has a child, he should also lower some standards.”

  The fairy continued to cry: “But Immortal Lord Lin is so beautiful and gentle. I can’t let go. I want to find my father. Immortal Lord Lin must not be caught by those covetous women.”

  Lin Shu listened with a head full of questions.

  The unhealthy trend of the Immortal Dao was something he had known many years ago.

  However, no matter how improper it was, it couldn’t be like this.

  He is very rich now. He could be said to be the richest man in the world. He owned the property of Phoenix Mountain Villa and the property of Qingming Demon cave. After the cat had ascended, he had left the Floating Immortal Palace to Lin Shu. Oh, he could also control the Treasury.

  He was very powerful, too. It could be said that he was the most powerful person in the world. The Emperor of Great Xia and Prince Xuan were his younger brothers. They didn’t dare to disobey him in anything — he was even the Master of the Sword Pavilion.

  His cultivation was also very high, and no one in the world could compare with him today— after his comprehension of 《Everlasting Yearning》 and 《Extinction》, his actual state far exceeded that of Crossing the Tribulation realm, and he could attract the Thunder and Lightning Tribulation for ascension by just thinking about it.

  He was not bad-looking, and he was not short…… Qinglu, who was often punished and made to stand with wine cups to toughen his demeanor, cried bitterly. Master, when would I have an Immortal appearance like you?

  But he didn’t understand why, when Ling Fengxiao matched these conditions, she was a rich woman everyone wanted to befriend —- but he has become a little white pretty boy everyone wanted to support?

  Lin Shu was very baffled. He was very upset by this fact.

  There were two other things that bothered him.

  One was Guiltless.

  Guiltless couldn’t really change.

  He was born evil, subconsciously wanting to kill, subconsciously sucking up grievances. Although he had walked to many places and watched Lin Shu save many people, he still watched the world with such cold eyes.

  ——He didn’t even want to follow Lin Shu at all. However, Lin Shu helped him through the Transformation Tribulation. It was like how Xiao Shao helped the cat through his Ascension from Thunder and Lightning Tribulation. Both had to repay the favour; Karma was entangled in it.

  Lin Shu watched him at times, he could not hurt Lin Shu, but it was okay, and it was fine. On other hand, he really does not know what to do.

  That night, when he slept, he pressed the Phoenix feather under his pillow again.

  ——During these two years, he had found that whenever the feather was near when he slept, he would see the form of the chick in his divine soul.

  Sure enough, as soon as he slept, he dreamt and he heard a weak “chirp“.

  Lin Shu picked up the chick.

  The chick lifted its eyelids with difficulty and leaned against his chest: “Chirp.”

  He gently rubbed the chick: “What’s the matter with you?”

  The chick seemed to be very sad and bowed its head: “Chii-—.”

  The temperature of the chick in his arms was already slightly cool.

  Since Lin Shu first dreamed of the chick two years ago, it had been gradually weakening day by day, from healthy to sickly, to today, it was already in a dying state.

  At first, Lin Shu suspected that Guiltless was behind this decline, but he found that Guiltless didn’t hate the feather, rather he even carried the feather sometimes and talked to it, calling it “Little Phoenix” — his attitude towards the feather was even better than his attitude towards Lin Shu.

  He has searched for countless treasures to stabilize the soul in the past two years, and also read countless books. He had even learned about 10 percent of the most out-of-the-way divine soul magic seal in the Qingming Cave’s book collection, but still could not slow down the rate of weakening of the little chick.

  When the divine soul magic failed, he searched for records about the Phoenix.

  However, as if by fate, all the traces of the ancient Phoenix in the world were collected by the Empress more than twenty years ago.

  What happened to it after the collection?

  Lin Shu couldn’t find them, and could only speculate that the Empress had been carrying them with her. And when Xiao Shao killed the Empress, he used a method that turned her into ashes, and all the things that the Empress had with her were also turned into ashes.

  So Lin Shu will never know where the chick came from and how to cure the chick’s sickness. He could only blame Xiao Shao for his own sins, harming his own little chick.

  So he held the weak chick all night. Before he left, the chick weakly held his sleeve, as if it wouldn’t let him go.

  Lin Shu’s heart was sour and felt that the chick didn’t really have long to live.

  When he woke up in the morning, Guiltless looked at him unhappily: “You went to hold Xiao Wubing again?”

  Lin Shu put away the feather and said, “En.”

  ——Since finding out that the chick was getting weak, Lin Shu named him Xiao Wubing, but to no avail.

  Guiltless then laughed unkindly.

  His attitude was so strange that Lin Shu couldn’t really tell if he was jealous of himself or of the chick.

  He said, “Wubing is dying.”

  Guiltless said, “Is there still a cure?”

  “I don’t know how else to cure it.” Lin Shu looked at Guiltless: “You always claim to be an ancient demon soldier, and you don’t know anything about the ancient Phoenix?”

  Guiltless: “Why should I bother with the chick nest?”

  When he said this, Lin Shu’s heart suddenly jumped.

  Guiltless does not care about the “chick nest”, but perhaps the Immortals from a thousand years ago would know.

  For example, Qingming Demon Lord, such as the Young Master Chen of Huandang Mountain.

  However, there was a barrier for Immortals to descend. They could only descend once in ten years and also it could be only in a fixed place where they had engraved their marks before ascension. It was usually their own cave. For example, Young Master Chen’s phantom body could only appear in Huandang Mountain, and the Demon Lord could only appear in Qingming cave.

  Only once in ten years…… The Young Master and the Demon Lord couldn’t come down for a short while as they had recently descended.

  But there was another man!

  Moreover, there was also a person who might know where this person’s cave was.

  Lin Shu came to Qingming Demon cave.

  Senior Martial brother floated over and said, “Junior Martial brother, long time no see!”

  Lin Shu: “Senior Martial brother, do you know where Immortal Yuehua’s cave is?”

  The Senior Martial brother was disgusted: “The dog thief had a holier-than-thou attitude. For the sake of his good name in the Immortal Dao, the cave was poor and bare to the bones. Forget magic weapons, He didn’t even have a copper coin. It was as clean as moonlight. Junior Martial brother, why do you ask about him?”

  Lin Shu: “I want to invite the Immortal Lord to come down to earth. I have something to ask.”

  “Down to the mortal world, down to the mortal world? ……” Brother rolled his eyes, “but he ……”

  Lin Shu: “What do you want to say?”

  “To tell you the truth, Junior Martial brother, Yuehua thief’s cave was smashed by our Master thousands of years ago.”

  Lin Shu: “.……”

  Was his little chick doomed to die?

  But the Senior Martial brother said, “However, the place where the dog thief descended to earth was not in his cave.”

  Lin Shu: “Where?”

  The Senior Martial brother’s eyes moved wildly and he was very uncomfortable: “Our Master broke his cave, and afterwards, he ascended. He owed Yuehua, and he paid back the house with a house…… His mortal soul seal…… He…… He…… He…… Was engraved in our Qingming Demon cave.”
