Myth Beyond Heaven

Yun Lintian cupped his fists and said. "Thank you, Brother Jian."

With this, he didn't have to go through the assessment. It saved him a lot of time and effort.

Xing Renshu smiled and said. "I'll excuse myself first. Next time, I will invite you for a drink, Young Master Lin."

"Sure." Yun Lintian responded.

Xing Renshu turned around and left after bidding farewell to everyone.

Lei Jun was the same. He greeted everyone briefly and walked out of the room.

"My name is Du Huanfeng. Would you like to have a meal with me, Young Master Lin?" Du Huanfeng walked up and asked with a friendly smile.

Yun Lintian could see at a glance that he had an ulterior motive. He shook his head and said apologetically. "I'm sorry, Young Master Du. I have spent so much power to suppress this sword. I need to take a rest first."

He paused for a second and said further. "Of course. I'll be a host next time. I hope Young Master Du won't reject me."

Du Huanfeng laughed heartily and said. "No problem. Then I'll leave first."

Afterward, he turned around and left with his subordinates.

"What about you, Young Master Weilan? How about drinks?" Yun Lintian turned to Weilan Tian and asked.

"You can call me my name directly," Weilan Tian said calmly. "The House of Prosperity has a good wine. We can go there."

Yun Lintian smiled and looked at Jian Feng. "Let's go, Brother Jian, Brother Weilan."

Following behind, Yuan Long and his group felt like they were dreaming. Who would have thought Brother Lin that hung out with them during these few days, could make friends with top young masters just like that?

"Hehe, brother. I'm afraid you can't do anything to him now." In their courtyard, Xie Yue teased. "I have seen Lin Yun drinking with Weilan Tian and Jian Feng earlier. From the look of it, their relationship isn't ordinary."

Sitting opposite her, Xie Jianyu's face was gloomy beyond words. He took a deep breath, trying to suppress the anger, and said. "It doesn't matter. I can deal with him fairly during the assessment."

"That's not worked either." Xie Yue curled her lips. "With Jian Feng there, he doesn't need to go through the assessment at all. And I don't think he's interested in joining the Heavenly Sword Palace. Think about it. He has a half-step Divine Ascending Tribulation Realm expert beside him. Even Xing Renshu and Jian Feng might not get such a treatment."

"Also, look at his fearless action in the auction house earlier. Such a person definitely has a powerful background. Why would he want to join the Heavenly Sword Palace?"

"Of course. It's not without a way. You can report this matter to grandpa." Xie Yue said playfully.

Xie Jianyu's face darkened. "Don't think that I don't know your intention. Get out!"

Xie Yue pouted and said. "Alright, alright. I'll leave." She paused a moment and continued. "However, I would like to remind you of one thing. You better swallow your anger in your belly. You cannot afford to offend him."

After saying that, she turned around and left.

Xie Jianyu went silent for a long time. His expression kept changing between angry and hesitating. As a young master of the mighty Xie Clan, he had never suffered such a depressing situation.

"She's right. You cannot afford to offend him. At least, not now." An aged voice suddenly resounded in the room.

Xie Jianyu's expression changed drastically. His body automatically straightened up as he responded respectfully. "Grandpa."

The voice owner was no other than his grandfather, the elder of the Heavenly Sword Palace, Xie Nianzu.

"I know everything you did during these past years. You have disappointed me." Xie Nianzu said. His voice was flat but carried a hint of majesty, causing Xie Jianyu to shiver.

"I was wrong, grandpa." Xie Jianyu hurriedly knelt on one knee and said.

"Forget it. I know you aren't truly repenting." Xie Xianzu sighed softly. "It's my fault. I don't have time to give you proper teaching."

"I'm sorry, grandpa." Xie Jianyu lowered his head in shame. He indeed felt that he didn't do anything wrong.

"Yue'er told me about that Lin Yun already. You better forget about it. After all, it was your fault in the first place." Xie Nianzu said.

"Why, grandpa? Is it because he has become friends with Jian Feng and Weilan Tian?" Xie Jianyu raised his head and asked with an unwilling expression.

"No." Xie Nianzu explained. "As Yue'er said, his identity isn't simple. Until we know about his background, it's better to stay on the sideline first."

Xie Jianyu's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked. "Grandpa means we can act after that?"

"Think about it yourself." Xie Nianzu said. "Don't go anywhere during this period. Practice well. I will bring you to the Heavenly Sword Summit later."

Xie Jianyu was overjoyed. "Thank you, grandpa. I will practice hard."

"How's your impression of him?" After returning to his room, Yun Lintian asked while brewing a pot of tea.

Shen Liqiu touched her chin, frowning momentarily, and expressed her thoughts. "Weilan Tian might be a proud heaven son, but I think he has a good personality. He could use his status to suppress the Mystic Pavilion and force us to hand the items over, but he chose not to. With this alone, he is much better than other pampered young masters like Lei Jun and Du Huanfeng."

"A proud person like him. It's understandable that he's disdain to do such a lowly act." Yun Qianxue added. "However, don't forget that he's a true successor of the Azure Palace. Even if he didn't want to, someone would eventually do it for him."

"You mean Xing Renshu?" Shen Liqiu asked.

Yun Qianxue didn't say anything and calmly sipped tea.

Shen Liqiu nodded her head slowly. "I believe he has already investigated us. It won't be long before he makes a move."

Yun Lintian shook his head in disagreement. "A person who can stretch and bend like him won't do anything for petty benefit like that. For now, he's at most curious about our background."

He changed his tone and said further. "On the contrary, there's someone who can't wait."

"Du Huanfeng?" Shen Liqiu said. She had listened to the grudge between him and Yun Lintian before. He should doubt Yun Lintian's true identity right now.

Yun Lintian smiled. "Who else?"
