Chapter 1074 Caused by Heartbreak

"What"s wrong? Did you not like that kiss? Or was that your first kiss?" Tian Yanyu tried her best to remain calm as she responded to Yuan"s puzzled face.

"Most people would kill to receive a kiss from a beauty like me." She added.

Yuan shook his head, "This has nothing to do with that. Are you sure that was the right choice? Who knows how Lin Minghai will act now. Perhaps you"d even made things worse by kissing me. After all, that was the only reason the Lin Family hasn"t taken over the Tian Family."

"It"ll be fine. If anything happens, you"ll protect us, right? That"s what you said. Furthermore, I have been wanting to get back at Lin Minghai for a while now. I just didn"t know how, until a few moments ago."

Yuan rubbed his eyes and sighed.

"So, what are we going to do now? What"s the next step?" Tian Yanyu asked a moment later.

"There is no next step. We will now wait to see the Lin Family"s response. With that being said, we"re not going to wait forever for a response. I will give them a week at most."

"Alright…"

"Anyways, do you have any unused rooms? And do you mind if I stay here for a while? In order to keep you all safe, it would be for the best if I stayed close. This way, if anything happens, I will be able to respond to it faster." Yuan asked a moment later.

"Sure. We have plenty of unused guest rooms. You can use them as you please." Tian Yanyu nodded.

"Follow me. I will show you the way."

"Thank you."

After showing Yuan to his room, Tian Yanyu left him alone to cultivate before returning to her room.

Once she closed the doors to her room, Tian Yanyu jumped onto the bed and began rolling around the bed.

"Ahhhhh!" She screamed internally.

"I can"t believe that I had actually kissed him! That was even my first kiss!" She exclaimed in a low voice.

While Tian Yanyu pondered about her actions inside her room, Yuan cultivated in peace in his room— at least he tried to.

"Young Master! How could you let that woman kiss you like that?! You should"ve dodged it!" Feng Yuxiang was making a fuss about the kiss.

"Calm down, it"s just a kiss."

"Just a kiss?! Kissing is more than that! You just shared saliva! That"s not something you do to someone whom you"ve just met!" She exclaimed.

"What"s done is already done. There"s no point getting excited over it now." He sighed.

"Fine, then let"s talk about something else." Feng Yuxiang said.

And she continued, "You asked her if it was a good idea to kiss you in front of Lin Minghai. I will now ask you if it"s really a good idea to meddle with the Tian Family"s affairs. In case you forgot, we"re currently being hunted by the Seven Legacy Families, and the Lin Family is part of them. Even if your intentions are to help them, if the Lin Family finds out your true ident.i.ty, the Tian Family will be dragged into our mess, and they will be executed. I guarantee it."

"Senior Feng is right, Yuan. I don"t see any benefits from this while there are tons of risks. It just doesn"t make sense to me." Lan Yingying also gave her opinion on the matter, something she doesn"t do often.

Yuan showed a slight smile and said, "I am well aware of how foolish my actions are right now, but it"s more complicated than you think. You know, after Tian Chenyu left his family to deal with the demons, he never once got the chance to return home to see his family before they pa.s.sed away."

"The parents that had raised him with love and care— the ones who supported him while he was at his lowest— Tian Chenyu greatly regretted not being able to help his family, as his parents had died before his mentality could stabilize."

"Now that I have Tian Chenyu"s memories, there is this strong and nearly uncontrollable urge to help the Tian Family, almost as though his soul desperately wants to amend his mistakes. I could ignore this feeling and pretend I don"t even know the Tian Family, but I have a feeling that this will hinder my cultivation in the future, almost like Heart Demon."

"I see… I understand your motivation a little better now, Young Master." Feng Yuxiang said a moment later.

"Me too." Lan Yingying said.

"I also understand your worries, and I thank you for your consideration, but there"s no need to worry, as I don"t plan on exposing myself, and I have the perfect plan to deal with the Lin Family without spewing any blood— if they don"t suddenly decide to raid the Tian Family in the middle of the night." Yuan said.

And he continued, "The moment they do anything drastic, I will get rid of them, no matter if they are the Seven Legacy Families or some other powerhouse."

Meanwhile, back at the Lin Family, Steward Jin called for their best doctor after putting Lin MInghai in his luxurious bed.

"What happened to the Young Master?!" The doctor was shocked when he saw Lin Minghai"s poor condition.

"His skin is completely pale, almost as if all of his blood had been drained, not to mention the horrified expression on his face… Did he see a ghost or something? No, even a ghost wouldn"t be enough to cause such a reaction. Just what in heaven"s name happened?" The doctor quickly a.s.sessed Lin Minghai"s condition.

"You see… What had happened was…"

Steward Jin explained the situation to the doctor, which made him even more baffled.

"The reason for the Young Master"s condition is heartbreak?!" He couldn"t help but cry out loud, as he has never seen a case of heartbreak this drastic before.

"Isn"t this a little bit too much of an overreaction? It"s not like he had been forced to watch his lover being screwed by someone else." The doctor sighed inwardly.
