Yun Lintian had no idea that he was already discovered by the long-lost enemy, Yin Xu. The following day, he woke up from the meditation to see Nantian Fengyu staring at him with her hands on her cheeks.
"Finally wake up? I'm starving to death." Nantian Fengyu rubbed her tummy and expressed her dissatisfaction.
Yun Lintian was speechless. How did he become a nanny now?
"How about eating here?" Yun Lintian asked while washing his face and brushing his teeth. During this time, he requested Yun Qingrou to develop daily products like soaps, toothpaste, and shampoo. With his instruction, everyone in the Land of Beyond Heaven already had cleaning habits.
Nantian Fengyu wrinkled her nose and shook her head. "I don't want to eat here."
Yun Lintian thought for a moment and said. "Alright. Let's find a restaurant."
"Mhm!" Nantian Fengyu nodded heavily and quickly rushed out of the room. She didn't forget to drag Yun Lintian along.
However, when they walked out of the inn, they saw Nantian Jiyou waiting for them.
Nantian Fengyu frowned and asked in dissatisfaction. "Why are you here again?"
Nantian Jiyou smiled faintly and said. "City Lord Zhou is holding a welcome banquet. I am here to pick you up."
"I don't go!" Nantian Fengyu replied bluntly and was about to drag Yun Lintian away, but she heard Nantian Jiyou's voice.
"This should be your Junior Brother Yun Lintian, right?"
Nantian Fengyu stopped her track and turned to look at Nantian Jiyou coldly. "How dare you investigate him?"
Yun Lintian observed Nantian Jiyou carefully. This person might look simple on the outside, but he could feel abundant energy in her body. Especially her Divine Phoenix Bloodline. Although it could not be compared to Nantian Fengyu's bloodline, hers wasn't much inferior.
"She's much stronger than me." Mu Qiuxue sent a sound transmission. She was confident in her strength but compared to Nantian Jiyou, she was slightly worse.
Yun Lintian was surprised to hear this. According to his understanding of Mu Qiuxue, she was a prideful person. It was difficult for her to admit that she was weaker than the opposite party. This meant Nantian Jiyou was genuinely powerful.
Nantian Jiyou ignored Nantian Fengyu. She glanced at Mu Qiuxue and greeted her with a smile. "I've long heard your name, Maiden Mu."
Mu Qiuxue replied politely. "It's my honor to be recognized by you, Senior."
Nantian Jiyou turned to Yun Lintian and said softly. "Let me introduce myself. My name is Nantian Jiyou, the Second Elder of the Divine Phoenix Palace. You can call me Second Elder directly."
Yun Lintian clasped his hands together and introduced himself. "This junior is Yun Lintian. I'll have to trouble Second Elder during this period."
Nantian Jiyou nodded and said. "Let's go. City Lord Zhou is waiting for all of you."
Nantian Fengyu frowned deeply and asked. "What's a conspiracy you are deploying this time? I warn you not to hit an idea of him. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"You are overthinking. Palace Master has given an order to welcome your Junior Brother. She also let me bring him to visit our palace later." Nantian Jiyou said with a faint smile.
"That old woman!" Nantian Fengyu gnashed her teeth in anger. Obviously, her mother was trying to rope Yun Lintian in. Estimating, they had already figured out how talented he was.
Yun Lintian thought for a moment and asked curiously. "I wonder what this banquet is about? It shouldn't be as simple as welcoming us."
Nantian Jiyou replied readily. "Indeed… It's about Heaven Vault Island's matter. You'll know later."
Yun Lintian nodded thoughtfully.
Nantian Fengyu tugged his sleeve and said. "You don't need to go if you don't want to."
Yun Lintian smiled and said. "It's fine, Fifth Sister. Since I am going to participate in this trip, it's better to learn more."
Nantian Fengyu pouted. "Fine. You're not a good junior brother anymore."
Yun Lintian ignored her and said to Nantian Jiyou. "Please lead the way, Second Elder."
Nantian Jiyou chuckled softly when she saw Nantian Fengyu's defeated appearance. "Follow me."
Under Nantian Jiyou's guidance, Yun Lintian's group quickly arrived at a majestic manor not far away from the city center. This place was a private area of the Zhou clan. Not many people passed by here.
Seeing Nantian Jiyou, a few servants behind the gate did not check on her and hurriedly welcomed her to the manor.
"Old Master has already prepared a table for you, Esteemed Divine Phoenix Elder. Please let me bring you there." A mature female servant said respectfully and brought Nantian Jiyou's group into a spacious hall.
The hall's interior was simple. It didn't decorate with precious materials or furniture like those typical wealthy clans would do. 6 large tables were arranged in 2 rows opposite each other at an appropriate distance.
At the center, a huge stage could be seen. It was clearly preparing for a battle. When Yun Lintian saw this, he couldn't help thinking of those cliche banquet plots. It was likely to happen here.
"Please take a seat." Zhou Chong took a step forward and greeted Nantian Fengyu's group. His cloudy swept over Yun Lintian, Mu Qiuxue and paused on Linlin briefly. A trace of astonishment could be seen in the depth of his eyes when he saw Linlin.
Yun Lintian sighed inwardly as he noticed this. In front of the true powerhouse, it was impossible to hide Linlin. Significantly when her strength grew higher. Her bloodline would become purer and more obvious to be recognized.
Zhou Chong retracted his gaze and took a deep look at Yun Lintian. "This is…"
Nantian Fengyu was afraid Zhou Chong would make things difficult for Yun Lintian. She quickly said. "This is my Junior Brother Yun Lintian. He's my most beloved Junior Brother. I won't allow anyone to harm him."
Zhou Chong was taken aback for a moment. He didn't expect Yun Lintian to have such an identity. At the same time, he was secretly amused by Nantian Fengyu's protecting-her-cub action. This was the first time he saw her attach emotion to someone.
Yun Lintian quickly cupped his fists and said respectfully. "Greetings, City Lord. My name is Yun Lintian. I came uninvited. Please forgive me."
"You're welcomed. Please take a seat first. We will wait for other guests to arrive and start the banquet immediately." Zhou Chong smiled kindly and made an inviting gesture.
