Myth Beyond Heaven

After walking out of the restaurant, Xue Lou'er said. "He's indeed powerful, as Sister Tong said."

"Powerful? I don't think so. No matter how powerful he is, he's nothing but a mere Ruler Profound Realm's junior." Situ Yuanzhi sneered. He glanced at Xue Lou'er and said in contempt. "What? Are you trying to curry his favor after knowing he has a great relationship with the Divine Phoenix True Inheritor? Xue Lou'er. A practitioner should have a backbone, don't you think so?"

Xue Lou'er's face turned icy. "Situ Yuanzhi, you better watch your mouth."

"Come. My mouth is here. I want to see whether you have the ability to prevent me from talking." Situ Yuanzhi laughed coldly.

"You!" Xue Lou'er was furious to the point her body trembled, but she didn't make a move in the end.

Situ Yuanzhi sneered and paid no attention to her further.

Wen Zishan and Tong Liya didn't say anything about this, even though they believed Situ Yuanzhi would end up being slapped on the face. After all, each one had their own judgment.

"Let's go back first. We need to prepare our juniors for the upcoming event." Tong Liya said softly and brought Xue Lou'er away.

Meanwhile, Wen Zishan looked at Situ Yuanzhi with pity and walked away.

Situ Yuanzhi glared at Wen Zishan's back coldly and secretly sent a message to his subordinates. He simply told them to keep an eye on Yun Lintian's movement.

The little episode did not bother Yun Lintian and Nantian Fengyu's moods much. They were talking and eating at ease.

"Hah! So full." Nantian Fengyu let out a small belch while patting her tummy in satisfaction.

Yun Lintian looked at the clean plates speechlessly. He had completely underestimated Nantian Fengyu's appetite. He even suspected that she had secretly used her profound energy to digest the food.

"Where are you living, Junior Brother?" Nantian Fengyu suddenly asked.

"We're living in the Dream Inn. Why?" Yun Lintian replied.

"That's good. I will go with you." Nantian Fengyu said and quickly stood up.

"You don't have to go back, Fifth Sister?" Yun Lintian asked in confusion. He was aware that there must be several experts accompanying her. He didn't want to become a kidnapper in their eyes.

"I don't want to. There's nothing to see in the City Lord Manor." Nantian Fengyu shook her head.

"This… Alright." Yun Lintian knew that he couldn't refuse Nantian Fengyu. "However, it's better for Fifth Sister to tell your people first. I don't want to become their enemy for no reason."

"They don't dare!" Nantian Fengyu said fiercely and took a transmission jade out. "Aunt Jiyou, I am going to stay with my Junior Brother. Don't bother me, okay?"

She put the jade away and said to Yun Lintian. "Done."

Yun Lintian was rendered speechless… You don't wait for them to reply first?

"Let's go!" Nantian Fengyu said and dragged Yun Lintian out of the room.

Yun Lintian quickly told Mu Qiuxue to pay the bill and let Nantian Fengyu drag him away.

On a balcony of a tall building in the city center, Nantian Jiyou calmly watched Nantian Fengyu dragging Yun Lintian along the street with a thoughtful expression.

Swoosh!

A young woman in red suddenly appeared behind Nantian Jiyou and lowered her head respectfully. "Report to Second Elder. We've finished investigating his identity."

"Go ahead." Nantian Jiyou said without turning around.

"His name is Yun Lintian. He has arrived on this continent today with the Gold Coin Trading Group. It was said he rescued them from the Ghost Ship. The woman beside him is Mu Qiuxue, the famous Snow Maiden of the Central Continent. Coupled with the recent news, they are undoubtedly coming from the Western Continent not long ago." The young woman reported.

"When we looked further, his true identity is even more astonishing. He is the latest disciple of Lin Zixuan and Young Miss's one and only Junior Brother. Not only that, but he has also contacted Jun Rumeng, Murong Ziwei's direct disciple."

"Oh? Why is that?" Nantian Jiyou asked curiously.

"Young Miss's Second Senior Sister is Murong Xue, the true heir of the Endless Dream Dancing Hall." The young woman replied.

"Interesting…" Nantian Jiyou smiled faintly. "Do you have other information?"

"Yes." The young woman responded. "Lin Zixuan has a total of six disciples. Except for Yun Lintian and Young Miss, each one of them has a huge background."

"The first one is Jiang Yingyue, the eldest daughter of the Central Continent's Jiang clan. The third one is Long Feiyan, the youngest daughter of the Long clan. As for the fourth one…." The young woman took a deep breath and said. "She's Wu Qingcheng, the one and only daughter of the Mystic Pavilion Lord."

A trace of amazement appeared on Nantian Jiyou's face. It could be said this was the most luxurious lineup she had ever seen so far. Without a doubt, Lin Zixuan would become the number one teacher in the world if all of her disciples could fulfill their potential.

"Do we have any conflict with these forces?" Nantian Jiyou asked further.

"No, Second Elder. Except for the Endless Dream Dancing Hall, which is a little closer to us, it could be said whether the Mystic Pavilion, the Jiang clan, or the Long clan, all of them have little to no relationship with us." The young woman replied.

"I see. That's good. You can report this to Palace Master." Nantian Jiyou nodded gently.

"Yes, Second Elder!" The young woman responded solemnly. Afterward, she hesitated briefly and decided to say it. "There's one more thing about this Yun Lintian. From our investigations, he is favored by Frozen Moon Palace Master Han Bingling, and he currently has a conflict with Du Huanfeng of the Myriad Pill Palace."

"Is it about the Tree of Life?" Nantian Jiyou recalled the piece of information she got recently.

"Yes, Second Elder." The young woman asked. "What should we do next?"

Nantian Jiyou thought for a moment and said. "Keep an eye on those four little guys. Don't let them take action on him… Also, when you go to Palace Master, ask her for instruction. Perhaps we can ask him for help."

The young woman seemed to think of something. She replied with a serious expression. "Understood, Second Elder. I shall leave now." As a fire burst, her figure vanished from the spot.

Nantian Jiyou turned her gaze onto Yun Lintian and muttered to herself. "Such a person is certainly destined to be someone. Who would be foolish enough to go against him?"
