《Myth Beyond Heaven 》Chapter 74: Situation
Advertisement
Yun Lintian looked at Yun Ci thoughtfully and wondered about the relationship between her mother and the Misty Cloud Sect.
"Senior, what do you mean?" Yun Ci asked with surprise.
"This is not a place to talk about this." Yun Qianxue said and brought Yun Ci and Yun Xian away to the side room, following by Yun Huanxin.
Yun Lintian didn't follow in. He brought the plump woman to a treasury instead. Under the plump woman's guidance, they arrived in front of a room with a sturdy iron door.
When Yun Lintian successfully broke the iron door, he was surprised by the number of valuable items in the room. There were around ten million gold coins and various Essence rank weapons. It was no wonder why these bandits all had Essence rank weapons in their hands.
The plump woman looked around the place with a bit of greed, but she didn't dare to do anything. She could only watch Yun Lintian magically stored everything away.
Yun Lintian saw through her thoughts. He smiled at her and said, "Don't worry, I won't take anything for myself."
The plump woman hurriedly waved her hand. "No, no. Even if Young Master wants to take all of them, I have nothing to say. After all, it should be your reward in the first place."
Yun Lintian chuckled and felt this woman was good at adaptation. He asked, "What's your name?"
The plump woman replied, "My name is Feng Yu. I used to live in Green Leaf Town, and I was captured by these beasts when I followed the merchant caravan out a month ago."
"I see. Do you know what's the situation in the town back then?" Yun Lintian was slightly surprised by Feng Yu's background. He wanted to know the general situation in the Green Leaf Town before going, and now it was convenient to ask her.

"Yes, Young Master. The situation is similar to this place. Everyone hadn't expected something like this to happen and had no time to harvest all the crops. Fortunately, the town has an enormous amount of supplies in reserve. Otherwise, everyone would be starved to death by now." Feng Yu took a breather and continued, "Everything was fine until a month ago. We got an imperial order from the Crown Prince to send an unreasonable amount of food to the Imperial City. That's why I had to go out with the caravan."
Hearing this, Yun Lintian's suspicions on the Crown Prince and the Wang clan grew further. Now, he was ninety percent sure they had conspired together.
"Thank you for telling me this." Yun Lintian said politely.
Feng Yu shook her head. "I should be the one who says this. If Young Master hadn't come here, I don't know how long I have to endure it."
After saying this, Feng Yu started to cry. Although she looked strong on the outside, she was fragile deep down. She managed to hold on until now because she wanted to see her parents again.
Yun Lintian let her cry, giving no consolation. He understood any word was useless in this situation. It was the same as someone told a depression disorderly patient to stop thinking — it was impossible to stop it just by saying so.
A while later, Feng Yu stopped crying, wiping all the tears away, and bowed at Yun Lintian, "Thank you for saving me."
Yun Lintian hurriedly helped her up. "I didn't do anything much. You don't have to be like this."
Truthfully, it wasn't his plan to begin with. Everything was Yun Huanxin's idea, and he just followed. Hence, he didn't think he deserved this gratitude.

"Let's go. I'll have to trouble you to take care of everyone when we reach the Green Leaf Town." Yun Lintian said with a smile and led Feng Yu out of the treasury.

In the side room, Yun Huanxin set up an isolation barrier and went to sit on a chair beside Yun Qianxue and Yun Ci. As for Yun Xian, she was obediently sat on Yun Ci's lap, looking at Yun Qianxue and Yun Huanxin curiously.
"Can you tell me now, Senior? What's the relationship between you and my parents?" Yun Ci asked.
She was eager to know about this. When she was young, her parents once told her about their past, but it was vague. She only knew that they originally lived in the Heavenly Fortune Nation and moved to this place for a particular reason.
Yun Qianxue was silent for a while before removing the veil, revealing her celestial countenance to Yun Ci. The latter was stunned and subconsciously uttered, "So beautiful."
Even she was a woman, Yun Ci was still fascinated by Yun Qianxue's beautiful appearance. She always thought her mother was the most beautiful woman she had ever seen, but Yun Qianxue's beauty definitely surpassed her mother.
Yun Qianxue smiled slightly and said, "Your mother, Yun Xilou, is my senior sister. She used to be the Misty Cloud Sect's disciple."
"Misty Cloud Sect?" Yun Ci had grown up in the Clear River village for her whole life. She never heard about the Misty Cloud Sect before.
Yun Qianxue had a complicated complexion as she asked, "Is she still alive?"
Yun Ci lowered her head and shook her head slightly. "I don't know. My parents had gone missing five years ago when they went out to hunt."
Yun Qianxue and Yun Huanxin immediately frowned. They knew Yun Xilou and Mu Weizhi's strengths very well. Except for Sky Fall Empress, they didn't think anyone could threaten them in the Sky Fall Nation, but even so, they could easily escape if they wanted to. Then, how could they go missing in such a barren place like this?
"Senior, can you tell me more about my parents?" Yun Ci raised her head and asked earnestly.
Yun Qianxue didn't tell her immediately. She asked instead, "Before I tell you, can you tell me about your situation first?" She looked at the adorable girl on Yun Ci's lap and said, "Where is your husband?"
Yun Ci lowered her head to look at her daughter and patted the girl's head lovingly. She replied, "Actually, Xian'er is not my daughter."
Yun Qianxue and Yun Huanxin were surprised and then started to concern, as this matter shouldn't be said in front of Yun Xian.
Surprisingly, Yun Xian suddenly spoke in a crisp voice, "Don't worry, Aunties. Xian'er knows this."
"What a sensible girl." Yun Huanxin exclaimed. She didn't expect this eight-year-old little girl to read the situation well, as both she and Yun Qianxue didn't even show a trace of worry on their faces.

This is a small collection of oneshots that I either wrote for myself, or other people have requested. Requests are my top priority, so when you request, that comes immediately before anything that I happen to be writing for myself. Sometimes it may take me a while to publish the chapter you request, because the requests can back up a little bit.Requesting a scenario helps me form ideas a little faster, but if there's nothing in particular that you want to see, then I'll try my best to portray a good chapter from my viewpoint of the ship.You can absolutely request any ship that you want. There's a lot of oneshot collections out there who only do requests if it's a ship that they ship, but I know how hard it is to find stories for a ship that you like sometimes.Ships I'll probably inlude when writing for myself are:SpecialshippingNamelessshipping OldrivalshippingMangaquestshippingSoulsilvershippingFranticshippingAgencyshippingSequelshippingGreyskyshippingKalosshippingTwinleafshippingDualrivalshippingChessshippingFerriswheelshippingEntourageshippingCorruptedshippingBlacksoulshippingMalasadashippingLaverreshipping(You can request a ship and/or scenario)(I don't do ships from the anime, sorry (。ヘ°))
