68: Is this true?
"But suddenly having a child..."
"It doesn't matter!"
Hearing the woman's concerns, Lin Zhentian shook his head. "Madam, since you do not intend to let the Young Master return, then let him live under an assumed name from now on! We will put on a show in a moment."
"A show?"
"That's right!"
Lin Zhentian said in a deep voice, "Even if the Young Master does not go to the Upper Domain in the future, he still needs the strength to protect himself. After all, his Dao Bone destines him for an extraordinary path. If he were powerless, I fear he would be in danger even in the Lower Domain, and furthermore, in the future..."
When saying this, Lin Zhentian pointed toward the sky.
The woman understood his meaning instantly.
If people from the Upper Domain were to come in the future and her child had no power to protect himself, wouldn't he just be fish on the chopping block?
"Then let's do as you say."
After saying this, the woman carried Lin Ye out from within the black robe.
"Hmm?!"
The old man's eyes widened. He hadn't understood a word of what the two were saying earlier, so when this child appeared, he was filled with confusion.
Good heavens, how long had they been gone, and they already had a child?
Lin Ye looked at everything familiar around him, as well as the people he had considered his father and grandfather for so many years.
For a moment, he became bewildered.
Was this really true? Asking the heart, asking the heart.
Before entering the Trial Tower, Elder Feng had left behind two words.
If it was a matter of asking the heart, whose heart was being asked? It must be his own heart!
But how could a false illusion be used to ask for the truth of one's heart?
In other words, everything here was real! Then why did he not have the slightest memory of it?
"By the way, Madam, observing the Young Master, he doesn't cry or fuss; it seems he has already opened his wisdom."
"..."
Hearing Lin Zhentian's words, the woman's gaze became conflicted.
"This child, he should have already opened his wisdom and gained understanding. Before... he saw everything clearly, and I could feel the resentment on him."
"This..."
Lin Zhentian gritted his teeth. Who could endure the pain of having their eyes gouged out, especially by their own kin?
If he were just an infant, it would be fine, as he wouldn't remember.
But an infant who had opened his wisdom was different.
Thinking about it, it made sense. With a Innate Dao Bone, Emperor Eyes, and Emperor Blood, if he hadn't opened his wisdom, it would be an insult to his Physique.
He was completely a young Prodigy born to be a king.
Who would have expected him to walk down such a path.
"I suggest we Seal the Young Master's memories. Otherwise, I fear he will walk onto a wicked path. After all, remembering those things would not be good memories for him."
"Very well."
The woman did not hesitate at all. Now, no matter what it was, as long as it was good for Lin Ye, she would do it.
Then, thinking of something, she asked, "Regarding the show you mentioned, how should we put it on?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhentian quickly replied, "A Innate Dao Bone cannot be unremarkable at birth. Anyone with intent could find out with a simple investigation. So, I must wrong you and the Young Master for a moment; I will go find a few witnesses, and then create a supernatural phenomenon."
"We will say that the child was born with a supernatural phenomenon! In that way, even if someone investigates, they won't find anything. We will just claim the Young Master was born in the Lower Domain."
"Mm!"
The woman nodded.
This would indeed be much safer.
The two acted immediately, completely ignoring the old man on the side.
The old man came before Lin Ye, seemingly intending to tease him, but at this moment, Lin Ye was not just some infant.
How could he possibly be teased?
"This little fellow is not cute at all. Why is he so different from other children?"
Nonsense!
Lin Ye rolled his eyes at the other party.
He was not some infant!
Soon, a group of servants walked over. The woman hid Lin Ye inside her black robe and followed them into the room.
Immediately after, Lin Zhentian went out to find people. Before long, he brought back a few close friends from the past to the Lin family.
"I say, Lin Zhentian, you are really boring. You've been gone for so many years, and as soon as you return, you already have a child? The Young Miss from the Wang family has been thinking of you incessantly!"
"That's right, you didn't send us a letter for so many years. Are we still brothers?"
"Hahahaha!"
Facing the teasing of the crowd, Lin Zhentian pretended to be simple and honest as he scratched his head. "I have been traveling outside, haven't I? I didn't expect to meet a woman I wanted to start a family with, so I decided to settle down. I didn't expect her to go into labor today."
"So, I wanted to take this opportunity to have a good gathering with my old brothers."
"Just talking about a gathering won't do. Today you must hold a grand banquet, after all, it is the birth of your, Lin Zhentian's, son."
"Right! Let's eat him into poverty!"
Everyone chatted and laughed as they arrived at the courtyard and sat down.
Immediately after, Lin Zhentian seemed to think of something and signaled to his father on the side.
He said to the group, "My wife is about to give birth. I'll go to the door of the room to listen. Everyone, please let my father keep you company for a while. Wait for me, I'll be back soon!"
After saying this, without giving the group a chance to react, Lin Zhentian turned and left.
The old man was not a foolish person either.
Since his child wanted him to cooperate, he would just cooperate.
Lin Zhentian walked to a secluded corner and formed Seals with both hands.
Boom!!!
Powerful spiritual energy gushed out. Above the sky, rosy clouds covered the area, all things revived, accompanied by bursts of the Dao's Sanskrit sounds, and purple Qi spread for three thousand li.
The guests in the courtyard all stood up, looking at this scene in shock.
"Th-this, this... A supernatural phenomenon?! What is going on? Could some supreme treasure have appeared?!"
"Are you an idiot? This phenomenon is clearly locked onto our location. Don't you know what is happening here?"
"Lin Zhentian's child is being born, what else could it be... Hiss?!"
Everyone thought of that terrifying conjecture.
Lin Zhentian's child is an unparalleled Prodigy!!!
The appearance of a supernatural phenomenon is either the emergence of a supreme treasure or the manifestation of a Prodigy.
The current situation is clearly the latter.
"Lin Zhentian was already ahead of us before, and now this is even better; the son is even more frightening than the father. Purple Qi spreading three thousand li—I don't even dare to imagine what kind of Prodigy has manifested."
"Hahahaha! Great! My wife is also about to give birth, and I'm not afraid to tell you, it's a girl! Definitely a girl, I've already had someone check! It shouldn't be a problem to arrange a betrothal with Lin Zhentian's child, right?"
"Look at your old face and how you look; you still want to arrange a betrothal? Forget it, let my daughter do it."
"Your daughter is already someone's wife, what are you arranging?!"
"Can't she just divorce? Why should we, people of cultivation, care about such details?!"
"You're ruthless!"
"..."
Swish, swish, swish...
Just as the few were arguing, several streaks of light flashed across the sky; they were clearly Cultivators.
"Have people from the surrounding Immortal Sects arrived?"
"Certainly. For such a Prodigy, if they don't come to show goodwill, how can they still be called an Immortal Sect?"
Accompanied by the discussion of the few, several figures descended into the Lin family's courtyard.
