《Myth Beyond Heaven 》Chapter 79: Superb Acting
Advertisement
Yun Lintian laughed coldly in his heart. It looked like his intuition was on point. He hurriedly got into an act as he said anxiously, "Please don't do this, Uncle Feng. Helping Miss Feng is just a matter of raising my hand. I never expect any rewards in return."
Feng Qi straightened his body and smiled. "Good! Good young man!"
"Father, why don't we let Young Master Ye sit first?" Feng Yu grabbed her father's sleeves and whispered.
Feng Qi slapped his forehead and said with laughter, "Ah, look at how rude I am. Please take a seat, Young Master Ye and Young Miss Ye."
Yun Lintian smiled faintly and grabbed Yun Qianxue's hand before bringing her to the arranged seats. He secretly scratched her hand, sending her a signal.
Yun Qianxue turned to him and gave him a smile, showing she understood the situation.
"Hello, Young Master Ye and Young Miss Ye. My name is Feng Yi. I am Big Sis Yu's younger brother. I'm here to give you a toast for saving my sister." Feng Yi stood up and drained a cup of wine in one go.
His face was flushed slightly, and his eyes swept over Yun Qianxue in a flash before he said. "I heard Young Master Ye's heroic deeds from my sister. She keeps praising you nonstop since she returned." He chuckled and looked at Feng Yu, who was blushed shyly.
Yun Lintian smiled faintly. He took a cup of wine in front of him and said, "As I said before. This is nothing. You don't have to be polite. I'll return you a toast." Following that, he emptied the cup directly under Yun Qianxue's worried gaze.
A trace of surprise flashed across Feng Yi's eyes and then replaced with contempt. He thought Yun Lintian was clever, as Feng Yu said, but it seemed he had overestimated him.

The reason Yun Lintian dared to drink the poisoned wine was that he recognized it. This poison was called the Mindless Poison. Whoever had taken this poison in would feel as though they were drunk and could not maintain their consciousness properly.
However, Feng Yi and the rest didn't know that Yun Lintian was a body refining practitioner. This type of inferior poison could not harm him in the slightest. Plus, they had underestimated him greatly just because he was only the tenth level of Foundation Profound Realm. Had it been a more potent poison, he wouldn't dare to take a risk. That was why he didn't feel anxious upon discovering the poison.
Seeing Yun Lintian had taken poison, Feng Qi disregarded Yun Qianxue, who was only the Essence Profound Realm, and asked. "I don't know where is Young Master Ye come from?"
Yun Lintian acted as if the poison had kicked in. He shook his head to regain the clarity and answered, "My sister and I come from the Ye clan of the Imperial City."
Feng Qi's eyes widened open, and he asked, "Can you prove your identity?"
"What do you mean? Are you suspecting us?" Ye Qianxue suddenly raised her voice.
Feng Qi didn't get angry and said with a smile, "Please pardon my rudeness, Young Miss Ye. I have no ill intention. I just want to make sure if both of you are truly the member of the Ye clan." He then changed his tone. "I've done business with Patriarch Ye in the past. I wonder if he is your father?"
Crack!
All of a sudden, Yun Lintian squeezed the wine cup into pieces and yelled angrily, "Don't talk about that heartless man!" His expression was distorted in a fury.

His action shocked everyone, and they looked at Yun Lintian, waiting for his explanation.
Yun Lintian took a breath and said, "We, brother and sisters, are his illegitimate children. Except for the surname, he never gives anything to us!"
Feng Qi was surprised upon hearing this. When he thought of Patriarch Ye's personality, he was quite convinced, but there were still some doubts in his heart.
Just as he was about to ask further, Yun Lintian glared at him and yelled, "I've rescued your daughter, and you are treating me as though I am a prisoner. Is this the way you treat your benefactor!?"
Feng Qi was choked back his word. Indeed, Yun Lintian had saved his daughter, but what Yun Lintian didn't know was everything was an act. In fact, the Feng clan had colluded with the Wang clan a long time ago. Therefore, the so-called saving Feng Yu had actually interrupted their plans.
However, even though Yun Lintian was poisoned and would likely spill more information if Feng Qi pressed further, Feng Qi had no choice but to act according to the situation in case they were indeed Patriarch Ye's illegitimate children.
Thinking of this, Feng Qi smiled apologetically, "Please forgive my rudeness, Young Master Ye. I'll punish myself with this cup." He then drained the cup of wine in one go.
"Hmph!" Yun Lintian snorted coldly and used his chopsticks to stuff food into his mouth, appearing angry hungry.
Meanwhile, Feng Yu sent an eyes signal to her father before saying to Yun Lintian, "I heard Young Master Ye is looking for the spirit plant seeds. If you didn't mind, why don't you take them from us? Is that right, Father?"
Feng Qi nodded his head with a smile and signaled a female servant nearby, "Of course. Little Mu, go fetch them."
Seeing the female servant went out, Yun Lintian said, "I thank Uncle Feng then."
Feng Qi waved his hand dismissively. "What's there to be polite? Let's eat, shall we?"
Yun Lintian nodded and continued to eat.
The atmosphere was gradually improved as time passed by. After Yun Lintian receiving various spirit plant seeds from the female servant, he immediately looked for a way to get out of this hall.
He placed his hand on his forehead and said dizzily, "Not good, I can't drink anymore."
Hearing this, Feng Qi beckoned Feng Yu and said to Yun Lintian, "Why don't you let Yu'er send you back?"
"No need!" Before Feng Yu could say anything, Yun Qianxue interrupted and held the 'drunk' Yun Lintian out of the hall under everyone's cold gaze.
