Myth Beyond Heaven

"I have no intersection with them. Why would they send people over?" Yun Lintian said in doubt.

From Han Bingling's words, the Sun Clan had a good relationship with his master, Lin Zixuan. If possible, he didn't want to be an enemy of them. At least until he figured out their relationship.

"They should come after the sword." Qing Xiaoting said. "Back then, Sun Ling and I went to the Golden Mountain Ruin together. Although she hid it well, I could see she wanted to get the sword from me."

"Why don't they send people to bid for it, then?" Yun Lintian was puzzled.

"It would be too obvious, I guess." Qing Xiaoting said uncertainly. "After all, she didn't want to have a bad relationship with me."

Yun Lintian frowned deeply. He didn't think it was because of this reason. There must be something more than that.

"Anyway, if they come to you, just tell them it was me." Qing Xiaoting said calmly. "But I believe they have already known that I came here."

She paused for a moment and bid farewell. "I'll leave first. Since you and Feng'er are on good terms, you can come with him directly tomorrow."

Without waiting for Yun Lintian to reply, Qing Xiaoting turned around and jumped off the balcony, vanishing into the night sky.

"Is everything alright?" Yun Qianxue walked into the room and asked softly.

Yun Lintian tapped his finger on the table and said with furrowed brows. "We need to investigate the Sun Clan."

Yun Qianxue sat beside him and poured a cup of tea for herself. "Actually, you don't have to worry about them. We will find out tomorrow, anyway."

Yun Lintian nodded, and his brows became relaxed. "You're right."

He looked at her and asked. "Why don't you tell me about your experience during these past months?"

Yun Qianxue smiled and said. "There was nothing worth mentioning. I was immersed in practice every day."

"I see." Yun Lintian didn't doubt it. However, he failed to notice a strange light in the depths of her eyes. It was as though she was hiding something from him.

***

Somewhere in the Sun Clan manor, a dignified woman sat on a luxury chair, looking at Lin Xinyao with a smile. "I haven't seen your aunt for so long. How is she now?"

"She's doing great, Aunty Sun." Lin Xinyao replied softly while feeding Mumu a snack.

The woman, Sun Ling, sighed softly. "I always feel sorry for her. I was too incompetent back then."

"It was already the past." Lin Xinyao said with a smile.

Sun Ling looked at Lin Xinyao with a hint of tenderness in her eyes. "Don't worry. This time, no one can hurt her. Not even Weilan Tianjun."

Lin Xinyao smiled and said nothing.

At this moment, a middle-aged man walked into the room and glanced at Lin Xinyao hesitantly.

Sun Ling motioned with her chin and said. "Go ahead. She's not an outsider."

The middle-aged man nodded and reported. "I got the news earlier that Elder Qing has killed one of our people outside the House of Prosperity."

Sun Ling was surprised and asked. "Who is it?"

The middle-aged man reported truthfully. "He's Duan Cheng, the second young master's servant. He went there to kidnap a young man named Lin Yun."

"Lin Yun?" Sun Ling was even more puzzled after hearing this.

"This Lin Yun has recently become famous during today's auction event on the Mystic Pavilion. He had outbid everyone on the ancient sword, including Weilan Tian and Jian Feng." The middle-aged man explained.

"There's also a rumor. He managed to subdue the ancient sword."

"It's the ancient sword that Qing Xiaoting obtained back then?" Sun Ling asked in surprise.

"Yes, master." The middle-aged man nodded.

"What is his background?" Sun Ling asked further.

The middle-aged man shook his head. "According to our investigation, he popped up out of nowhere a few days ago and has a half-step Divine Ascending Tribulation Realm expert beside him… Even the Star Pavilion cannot find it."

"Oh? So mysterious?" The curiosity in Sun Ling's heart grew stronger upon hearing this.

"What's Ming'er's intention? He wants to rob the sword from Lin Yun?" Sun Ling asked with a hint of dissatisfaction.

The middle-aged man smiled wryly. "It is indeed the case, master."

Sun Ling shook her head while sighing in disappointment. "Is he trying to imitate that silkpants from the Xie Clan?"

The middle-aged suddenly thought of something and said. "Speaking of this, Lin Yun has a conflict with Xie Jianyu in the House of Prosperity. It was said Xie Jianyu was kicked out by him."

"He can still be alive is already a miracle." Sun Ling chuckled.

Normally, she didn't care about this kind of worldly affairs, but Xie Jianyu's reputation was too excellent. She went out for a stroll and heard his deeds along the way.

A strange light emerged in the depth of Lin Xinyao's eyes when she listened to the conversation. A corner of her mouth slightly curved up. Obviously, she was in a good mood.

"It must be Yun Lintian. Let's find him." Mumu sent a sound transmission to Lin Xinyao while chewing the snack. Her eyes brightened up when she thought about Yun Lintian's delicious food.

"You glutton." Lin Xinyao flickered Mumu's forehead gently.

"Aren't you missing him lately?" Mumu sneered.

"It's not the right time. We will see him in the incoming days." Lin Xinyao said softly and stuffed another snack into Mumu's mouth.

Mumu rolled her eyes and kept chewing happily.

Sun Ling and the middle-aged man didn't see anything wrong with Lin Xinyao's actions. They thought she was simply teasing her companion pet.

"Tell Ming'er to go to the House of Prosperity tonight to make amends with Lin Yun." Sun Ling made a decision. "If he doesn't want to go, just break his legs and drag him over."

The middle-aged man's face twitched slightly. "Understood, master."

He turned around and left after speaking.

Sun Ling shook her head slightly in disappointment. She turned to Lin Xinyao and asked. "Sun Geming didn't harass you during these days, right?"

Lin Xinyao replied softly. "No, aunty. He didn't dare."

Sun Ling chuckled. "That's right. How could I forget this? A coward like him naturally didn't dare to even talk to you."
