The temperature in the room seemed to drop significantly when the woman finished her sentence.
However, Yun Lintian's expression didn't change in the slightest. Even a single fluctuation couldn't be seen in his eyes. It was as if he was aware of this all the time.
The woman smiled faintly while looking at Yun Lintian with great interest. "Take a seat."
While Qin Mei quietly retreated from the room, Yun Lintian gently pulled the confused Ning Yue to the vacant seats opposite the woman and the old man before sitting down.
"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Shen Yan, and this is Grandpa Xu." The woman, Shen Yan, said while pouring two cups of tea for Yun Lintian and Ning Yue.
Yun Lintian calmly sipped the tea without saying anything.
Shen Yan smiled and asked. "How did you know?"
Her question further confused Ning Yue. She felt like she was listening to a deep riddle. First, it was Yun Lintian's name, and now this seemingly unrelated question.
On the contrary, Yun Lintian put the teacup down and glanced at the old man, Xu Chang, instead. "While there were many Divine Senses sweeping over me, there was one that I barely noticed it. It should belong to Senior Xu. Am I correct?"
A strange light flashed across Xu Chang's eyes. He stroked his white beard and said with a faint smile. "As expected from someone who possesses a terrifying perception at such a young age. This old man's secret action couldn't escape your perception at all."
He paused briefly and asked curiously. "However, it didn't seem to explain how you knew about us."
"It's simple." Yun Lintian said and took the silver token out from his interspatial ring. "Senior's Divine Sense had lingered on my interspatial ring longer than other places. If I guessed correctly, it must be because you perceived this token's aura."
"Since my fourth sister had never stepped into the Divine Realm before, the token she gave me must have belonged to someone here. More precisely, it's her mother. And from what I know, my fourth sister's mother is likely to have a certain status among the Mystic Auction House's echelons. Otherwise, she wouldn't leave her daughter in a hurry like that."
Yun Lintian turned to look at Shen Yan and said further. "Presumably, my fourth sister has already reunited with her mother. It's normal for both of you to recognize my identity."
"Interesting." The smile on Shen Yan's lips grew brighter. "You can actually make such an accurate guess by a single action from Grandpa Xu. No wonder the Beyond Heaven King chose you as his inheritor."
Yun Lintian calmly took another sip of tea and offered no word. He wasn't surprised at all about how Shen Yan knew his other identity.
"However," Shen Yan changed her tone slightly. "There was one thing that you had guessed wrong. Your fourth sister and Aunty Shen haven't seen each other yet."
Yun Lintian's eyes narrowed slightly, and a dangerous breath gradually seeped out of his body, slowly enveloping the entire room. "How is she right now?"
Xu Chang's expression changed drastically, as he could feel an aura of death around him. Without a doubt, Yun Lintian was capable of killing him here. This shocked him inwardly.
Xu Chang was a genuine peak of the Divine Sovereign Realm's powerhouse. In this Heavenhold Realm, he was a god-like existence. Even the Heavenhold Realm King had to be afraid of him a few points, yet he was actually suppressed by a junior who had just stepped into the Divine Spirit Realm… What kind of joke was this?
In contrast, Shen Yan's face was full of excitement instead of anger. It was as if she had discovered a peerless treasure.
"I knew it. You must be stronger than the legendary Beyond Heaven King himself." Shen Yan said.
Yun Lintian's aura grew stronger as he repeated. "How is she now? Did you do anything to her?"
Xu Chang wanted to release his aura to resist Yun Lintian, but his intuition told him that he would certainly die once he did it. He couldn't help sending a sound transmission to Shen Yan. "Miss, you shouldn't challenge his bottom line further. He's capable of killing both of us even with the help of the formation here."
Shen Yan restrained her excitement and said. "Calm down. She is more than fine. Although she and her father are prohibited from visiting Aunty Shen, they are absolutely safe and sound. Moreover, our Shen Clan has allocated a lot of resources for them to improve their strength."
Hearing this, Yun Lintian gradually calmed down and retracted his aura. "Why?"
Shen Yan replied truthfully. "As you have guessed. Aunty Shen's status is not ordinary. She's the one and only daughter of our Old Patriarch and a younger sister of my father, the current patriarch of the Shen Clan."
"With her status, it is really difficult for many people in the Shen Clan to accept your fourth sister and her father."
She let out a soft sigh. "You have no idea what kind of turmoil was caused by the return of Aunty Shen back then."
Yun Lintian asked further. "What is the attitude of your father and grandfather?"
"Of course, they love Aunty Shen so much. How could they treat her daughter and husband badly?" Shen Yan pursed her lips. "It's just that the situation of the Shen Clan is complicated. It requires a lot of time to settle this."
She looked at Yun Lintian and smiled. "I didn't expect you to care about your fourth sister so much. She's truly lucky to meet you… Honestly, I am starting to envy her now."
A trace of sorrow could be seen in the depths of her eyes as she spoke this.
Yun Lintian naturally didn't care about her feeling. He was currently relieved to hear that Wu Qingcheng was safe and sound.
Shen Yan adjusted her mood and said. "The Soul Rejuvenating Pill was created by you, right?"
Yun Lintian nodded admittedly.
Shen Yan asked. "Do you have other things you want to sell?"
Seeing Yun Lintian's puzzled expression, Shen Yan said further. "I was sent to this place in a form of punishment. I have to make a certain amount of profit before returning. If you can help me, I can leave Qin Mei by your side. She is clearly interested in you."
Yun Lintian frowned slightly. "Isn't your Mystic Auction House taking a neutral stance?"
"Oh? Don't tell me you are also interested in her?" Shen Yan smiled playfully.
