After leaving the Lin Family''s residence, Yuan and the Tian Family went straight back to their own residence.


    None of them spoke a word to each other during the whole journey back, and when they finally returned to their residence, the Tian Family could finally take a breather.


    Tian Yanyu fell on her knees the moment they entered the residence, and she would stare at her hands that had been trembling nonstop since she killed Lin Minghai.


    ''I still cannot believe it… Did I really kill Lin Minghai with my own hands? Am I actually dreaming? If this is a dream, I do not wish to wake up from it…'' She sighed inwardly.


    Seeing Tian Yanyu on her knees, Yuan approached her and offered her a hand.


    "Are you okay?" He asked.


    Tian Yanyu lifted her head to look at him without moving the rest of her body, and she mumbled in a low voice, "Who are you, really…?"


    Yuan chuckled, "You''ve asked me that same question so many times that I lost count now."


    "Then allow me to ask you. Just who are you, really? And why are you helping us? I swear, if you give me that same bullshit—" Tian Suyin said.


    "Does it really matter?" Tian Xianzu suddenly interrupted.


    "Honestly, I don''t care about his identity. The only thing that I know is that he''d helped us deal with the Lin Family, finally giving our Tian Family some peace."


    "Peace?" Tian Suyin sneered, "Do you really believe the Lin Family will just sit back and act as though nothing had happened today? We killed one of their direct descendants! And it was even done inside their own home! It may not happen tomorrow or even a decade from now, but they will definitely settle this debt one day!"


    "We will deal with it when that day actuallyes. For now, let''s just rx and take full advantage of this peace." Tian Xianzu said with a bittersweet smile on his face.


    "I… I have to agree with Father, Mother." Tian Yanyu suddenly said.


    "Lin Minghai would not have stopped until I was groveling at his feet, so our family would have to deal with the Lin Family regardless of what happened today. As for Xiao Yang''s true identity… Despite my question just now, I don''t really care about that anymore. While it''s true that I am curious, I won''t pursue it if he doesn''t want to reveal it. As long as he isn''t a threat to us, I couldn''t care less about his identity."


    Tian Yanyu stood back up and red at Yuan with clear eyes.


    "Thank you, Xiao Yang. Because of you, I was able to turn my dream into a reality and kill Lin Minghai. Now I won''t have any more nightmares about him. If there''s anything that I can do for you, don''t hesitate to ask, as I am now indebted to you."


    Yuan shook his head, "No, you don''t owe me anything. In the first ce, I helped you because of a debt my family owed your family."


    "Then you can consider that debt fully repaid." Tian Yanyu smiled.


    "Hmph." Tian Suyin snorted, "Now that you no longer owe our family any debt, you may leave."


    "I-Ignore her! You can stay here for as long as you''d like, Xiao Yang!" Tian Yanyu quickly said.


    "Thank you. Then if you don''t mind, I would like to stay here for a little longer until I figure out my next steps."


    "Didn''t you say that you''d like to visit my sect— the Jade Sword Manor? We can do that next!" Tian Yanyu recalled.


    "Alright, when do you n on bringing me there?"


    "We can go back as soon as tomorrow if you want."


    "Sure." Yuan nodded.


    That night, Yuan logged off to notify Meixiu and the others about his ns.


    "How long do you n on staying with this family?" Chu Liuxiang asked him.


    "I''m not sure yet, but I will let you know the moment I do."


    "Then I will continue cultivating at the Cultivators'' Haven until you return. I''ve made significant progress in my cultivation, so much so that I was going to ask you to go on without me for a while longer."


    "Me too." Meixiu said.


    "That''s perfectly fine. In fact, if you wish to continue cultivating in seclusion even after I am done with the Tian Family, just let me know. It will benefit you more than just following me around, after all."


    "Then it''s decided! Meixiu, let''s have a race to see who has the most breakthroughs!"


    Chu Liuxiang suddenly said.


    "Sure…?" Meixiu mumbled with raised eyebrows.


    Meanwhile, Lin Chunhua was losing his memories without even being aware of it.


    ''Master is currently being hunted…'' The old man sighed inwardly when he realized the situation through Lin Chunhua''s memories.


    He wasn''t worried about the Seven Legacy Families, but with peopleing from the upper heavens was a different story.


    ''He won''t be able to handle the upper heavens in his current state, but they also don''t know the Master''s identity in this life yet… I must keep it that way for as long as possible.''


    ''Looks like I will have to wait a little longer before I can see you again, Master..."


    "How troublesome." The old man subconsciously sighed out loud.


    "Who?!"


    His subconscious sigh alerted and startled Lin Chunhua, who quickly attacked behind him without even looking.


    The old man avoided the attack with ease before distancing himself from Lin Chunhua.


    Lin Chunhua didn''t immediately attack the old man again, mostly because he was feeling apprehensive about the whole situation.


    This old man was able to enter his room and get behind him without alerting him until the idental sigh, which is more than enough to tell Lin Chunhua that he was dealing with someone he couldn''t fathom.


    "You… Who are you?" He asked after swallowing nervously.


    The old man smiled and said, "I have many names, but you may call me Vanishing Demon."


    "Vanishing… Demon?" Lin Chunhua forcefully swallowed again.
