Myth Beyond Heaven

Back to his room, Yun Lintian asked Yun Qianxue to help his newly accepted disciple take a bath and change into new clothes. Meanwhile, he called Yun Ai to prepare a medicinal meal.

"So, you went out to pick up a little girl?" Shen Liqiu looked at Yun Lintian strangely. "I'm curious. Why did you take her in as a disciple? Do you know what it means by this? From ancient times to now, taking a disciple isn't a trivial matter. Why are you so sure that she will be a good person?"

"I know." Yun Lintian calmly sipped a tea. "I can only say it's fated."

Shen Liqiu opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but gave up in the end. Anyway, Yun Lintian couldn't be judged by common sense. Everything he did from the past until now was entirely different from any practitioner here.

At this moment, Yun Qianxue carried the unconscious Yun Chenyu out and placed her on the bed.

After washing up, her appearance was fully revealed to everyone. Except for her pale complexion and malnourished body, she possessed decent features. Whether it was her curved eyebrows or her developing nose, everything was perfect for an immature girl like her.

What attracted Yun Lintian the most was her profound vein. He had meticulously checked her on the way back and found out she possessed dual lightning and water-attributed vein, which couldn't be considered rare, but its size was something he had never seen in a young girl like her.

There were two explanations for this. First, she inherited it from her parents directly, which meant her parents were highly talented.

The second one was someone had used a heavenly treasure to forcibly improve her profound vein.

In either case, it could be seen her parents possessed a strong background. Then, how did she become like this? Perhaps something had happened to her parents, and she managed to escape?

"She has been starving for a long time. If it wasn't for the residual profound energy in her profound vein, she would have passed by now." Yun Qianxue said softly. "There are many scars on her body as well. She must have been tortured for a period of time."

Yun Lintian walked to the bedside and gently flipped her halfway before checking her back. The next moment, several deep scars were revealed to his eyes. Without a doubt, these scars were left behind by long-term torture.

"Which bastard committed such a cruel act? She isn't even seven years old." Shen Liqiu was both distressed and angry when she saw the scars on Yun Chenyu's back.

Yun Lintian frowned slightly and placed his hand on her back, injecting his wood energy into her. Soon, the scars gradually recovered, and her skin returned to its original fair and flawless state.

"Yun Chan." He retracted his hand and said calmly.

"Yes, Headmaster." Yun Chan slowly walked into the room and stood respectfully behind Yun Lintian.

"Try to find her information as much as you can. There's no need to go deeper. Just a general situation is enough." Yun Lintian said after thinking for a moment. Although he didn't care about Yun Chenyu's past, it was impossible for him to ignore those who harmed her.

"Understood." Yun Chan replied readily and left.

Yun Lintian sat back in his seat and fell into deep thought.

There was a week left before Wang Lin and Jiang Yingyue's wedding, and he knew that countless forces were preparing to capture him. Especially the Star Gazing Palace and the Myriad Pill Palace. He wasn't blind enough to believe that his strength alone could solve all the problems.

Therefore, he must prepare well.

Thinking of this, he looked at Mu Qiuxue and asked. "From your experience, what do you think of the Weilan Clan?"

In his opinion, the Weilan Clan was an essential factor. If they supported Wang Clan, he would need better preparation.

Mu Qiuxue seemed to understand what Yun Lintian thought. She thought for a moment and said. "I don't think they will support the Wang Clan. Since we could see the Wang Clan's ambition. Why couldn't they? Don't forget that the Weilan Clan represents the Azure Palace's attitude. They wouldn't want to raise a soon-to-be thorn like the Wang Clan by their side."

"Of course, they won't openly suppress the Wang Clan on this matter. In my opinion, they would adopt a wait-and-see attitude like they loved to do in the past."

Yun Lintian touched his chin and contemplated on this matter. He asked her this because of the existence of Weilan Tian. After a short interaction with Weilan Tian, he could see that the former didn't seem to care about the Azure Palace.

Perhaps they could be friends in the near future. After all, the true enemy was the Poison Valley. It was impossible for him to fight them alone with his people. He would need an ally. And it had to be a strong one.

"For safety, let's include them as an enemy first." Yun Lintian made a decision.

He then called Yun Ai and asked. "Have you sent a letter to my third sister?"

Yun Ai replied. "Yes, Master. This is her letter."

​ As she spoke, she placed a letter on the table.

Yun Lintian picked it up and read the content inside.

Basically, Long Feiyan could not mobilize her clan's power to help Jiang Yingyue, as they were in a critical moment. Her grandfather was about to reach the end of his lifespan, and the clan must be fortified, preparing for the upcoming battle.

She also advised him to think carefully before acting. The Wang Clan wasn't weak as he thought. Wang Jun and Wang Jue might be their young masters, but they couldn't be considered true heirs like Wang Lin.

Lastly, she promised that she would do everything to bring him out if the situation went wrong. This made Yun Lintian's heart warm.

Yun Lintian carefully put the letter away and turned to Yun Ai. "Prepare a carriage for me. I will visit the Long Clan."

"Yes, Master." Yun Ai responded and went away.
