Myth Beyond Heaven

"You can tell your family that you have already taken this restaurant down." Yun Chan said according to Yun Lintian's instructions.

Chu Quan heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. At least he won't get punished by the clan when he goes back.

"I know what to do." He nodded slightly.

Yun Chan took a deep look at him and said. "When everything is done, I will solve the contract."

Chu Quan was delighted. He patted his chest and said loudly. "Don't worry. Even if the contract is solved, I will never go against you again."

Although he was arrogant, he wasn't entirely stupid. Yun Chan's background was definitely not ordinary. Unless his brain was full of holes, he would never dare to trouble her again.

"Then I will leave first. You can contact me through this transmission jade." Chu Quan quickly left with his two bodyguards afterward.

Watching them leave, Yun Chan walked toward Yun Lintian and said respectfully. "Headmaster."

Yun Lintian nodded with a smile. "You did a good job this time."

Yun Chan shook her head. "He sent himself over. I didn't do anything much."

"Can we contact my senior sister?" Yun Lintian asked.

"There is no problem if it's simply sending a message." Yun Chan replied confidently.

Yun Lintian thought for a moment and said. "Tell her I am here, and she should prepare well."

"Understood." Yun Chan nodded and sent a sound transmission to her team.

"Let's take a rest first." Yun Lintian made a decision and headed toward his room on the top floor with everyone.

After leaving the restaurant, Chu Quan let out a long breath. His robe was still drenched in a cold sweat as he had just stepped out of the gate of hell.

"Third Young Master, should we find someone to deal with this restaurant?" One of the bodyguards said unwillingly.

Chu Quan's face turned green upon hearing this. "Idiot! Don't you see how powerful she is? Put her in our clan, and she will easily become a true heir. Do you think such a person is someone with an ordinary background? If you want to die, go by yourself. Don't implicate me!"

The bodyguard was speechless, but he suddenly realized how stupid he was to say something like that.

"Let's go. I don't want to stay in this ghost place anymore." Chu Quan waved his hand and hurriedly walked away.

"Oh? Isn't that Young Master Chu? Why are you in a hurry?" A female voice suddenly resounded behind him, causing Chu Quan to halt his track.

"Mo Jinyu?" Chu Quan recognized the woman right away. She was a second young miss of the Mo Clan, Mo Jinyu.

This person's profound strength might be ordinary, but her business acumen was extremely high. Everyone in the Azure Ancient City basically knew her as a golden jade hand because anything she picked up would become gold.

Mo Jinyu glanced at the Heavenly Cloud Restaurant and turned to Chu Quan. "Judging from your appearance, it seems your acquisition has failed badly. Am I correct?"

Chu Quan's face darkened. "It's none of your business." He paused for a moment and said. "I have already taken this restaurant. You should give up."

"Oh?" Mo Jinyu looked at Chu Quan suspiciously. "According to my investigations, this restaurant has many branches throughout the Central Continent, which means their background is nothing ordinary. How could they surrender to you so easily?"

Her eyes turned sharp as she stared at Chu Quan attentively. "Could it be… you offer something that they can't refuse?"

Chu Quan's face became unnatural under her gaze. At the same time, he scolded himself inwardly as he had no idea that this seemingly ordinary-looking restaurant actually had so many branches. If he knew this, he wouldn't dare to be arrogant in the first place.

He quickly calmed down and said. "We have reached cooperation. I provide them protection and some resources. The profits will be shared among us. Of course, I only get ten percent."

Mo Jinyu stared at him for a while and said. "Not bad. I didn't know before that you are this smart."

Chu Quan couldn't help but be proud of his clever trick upon hearing this.

"But I won't give up easily. I believe that I can make them change their mind." Mo Jinyu said. "I won't disturb Young Master Chu further. Farewell."

As she finished her sentence, she slowly walked toward the Heavenly Cloud Restaurant, causing Chu Quan to panic.

However, when he thought of the dread situation previously, Chu Quan gritted his teeth and walked away. Anyway, he believed Yun Chan wouldn't cooperate with Mo Jinyu unless she wanted to expose the soul contract.

In a small and simple courtyard, Jiang Yingyue sat in a pavilion, looking at the bright moon in the sky.

Her beautiful eyes reflected the moonlight, revealing a trace of melancholy.

It had been a month since she returned to her clan, and she would think of her master and junior sisters on the Northern Continent every night. The feeling that she was worried about them, but couldn't do anything to help them, kept torturing her day and night.

She often thought of escaping from this place but gave up in the end as she would bring a disaster to them instead. All she could do right now was pray and accept her fate.

Swoosh!

Suddenly, a small letter appeared on a nearby stone table, causing her to startle for a second.

Jiang Yingyue picked the letter up after a brief scan and opened it.

Didn't you tell me before that, as a practitioner, we must go against our fate, Big Sister Yingyue? So, you can't give up. Prepare yourself well and wait for me. — Your handsome junior brother.

A brilliant light flashed through Jiang Yingyue's eyes as she finished reading. The corner of her mouth slowly curved up, transforming into a beautiful smile as she muttered to herself. "I'm afraid that even Fourth Sister is not as narcissistic as you, Junior Brother Yun."

As she spoke, the letter in her hand lit up and reduced to ashes.

"Daughter." At this moment, a middle-aged man with a dignified expression walked into the courtyard while looking at Jiang Yingyue.

His sharp eyes inadvertently glanced at the ashes before he said. "There's one week away before your wedding. You should prepare yourself well."

Jiang Yingyue didn't even glance at him. She continued to look at the moon and said. "Leave… And don't call me daughter. I don't have a father like you."
