《Myth Beyond Heaven 》Chapter 120: A Clue (2)
Advertisement
Yun Lintian, who just received a good man card from Chu Heng's father, calmly replied. "Yes. I'll leave tonight."
Chu Heng's father went silent while pouring a cup of tea for Yun Lintian.
Yun Lintian received the cup with both hands, showing respect to a senior, and waited for his next word. He knew Chu Heng's father had something to say with him.
Chu Heng's father looked at his daughter for a while and turned to Yun Lintian. "I know this might be a presumptuous request, but can you bring her and my son away from this place? You can let them be your servant."
Yun Lintian didn't surprise by his request as he understood the situation. Chu Heng and Chu Mi wouldn't have a future by staying here. However, to take them away? Yun Lintian was not ready to take anyone in. He had so many secrets within his body, and it would be troublesome to enter the Land of Beyond Heaven with someone around him all the time.
Seeing Yun Lintian was silent, Chu Heng's father knew his request was too much, but he couldn't help. Which father didn't want their children to have a promising future? He quickly knelt down on the ground and said pleadingly. "Please. This old man is begging you."
Yun Lintian hurriedly helped him up and said with a soft sigh." Uncle, my path is full of danger. Your children are not necessarily safe with me. Maybe they staying here is safer." He knew his words alone could not convince Chu Heng's father. He said further. "How about this? I'll give them a high-rank profound art. Whether they can become stronger depends on themselves."
Chu Heng's father wasn't an unreasonable person. He understood Yun Lintian had written a clear line by saying this. Hence, he didn't try to force him further. He hesitated and said. "Although I don't know much about the profound ways, such a high-rank profound art should be scarce, right? Is it fine for you to give it away like this?"

Yun Lintian smiled faintly. "Don't worry. There wouldn't be a problem." He then took out two Heaven-rank profound arts he copied during his free time and handed them to Chu Heng's father. "This blue book is for her, and another one is for Chu Heng. Uncle and Aunty can also practice."
Chu Heng's hands trembled when he received two books. He grasped them carefully for fear of damaging them. Without a doubt, these two books were priceless. He suddenly broke into tears and said. "Thank you. Thank you, young man. This old man owed you my life."
Yun Lintian felt Chu Heng's father's words were too heavy. He hurriedly said. "Please don't say this, Uncle. This is not a big deal for me. You owed me nothing. I hope that all of you can survive in this cruel world."
Chu Heng's father nodded his head heavily while hugging the two books closed to his chest as though they were the most precious treasure in this world.
Yun Lintian knew it was time for him to leave. He bid farewell to Chu Heng's father and left the house.
Before Yun Lintian stepping out of the house, Chu Heng's father suddenly asked. "Young man, may I know where I can find you in the future?"
Yun Lintian paused his tracks, turning around, and answered. "Sky Throne Profound Academy in the Profound Sky Divine City. You can find me there." Following that, he turned around and left the house. He had already made up his mind to join the Sky Throne Profound Academy since he had no choice if he wanted to enter the Frozen Moon Mythical Realm.
"Sky Throne Profound Academy… Profound Sky Divine City…" Chu Heng's father repeated these two names to himself several times for fearing he might forget them.

"You sure generous. Are you not afraid he might betray you?" When Yun Lintian left Chu's house, Han Bingling immediately appeared beside him. She witnessed everything that happened earlier and was surprised by Yun Lintian's generosity. Although Heaven-rank profound art was nothing to her, she never saw anyone could give it away casually like him before.
"I have my own measurement." Yun Lintian replied nonchalantly. His earlier action might look reckless, but he didn't fear Chu's family to harm him in the slightest. With the Heaven rank profound art in their hands, if it was to expose to others, their lives would be in danger too. Hence, he believed they wouldn't do something stupid like that.
"So mysterious?" Han Bingling pursed her lips.
"How's your people's side?" Yun Lintian asked while strolling along the streets. "Don't tell me, still get nothing? I didn't expect the Frozen Moon Palace would be this incompetent."
Perhaps it was because the Frozen Moon Palace was likely related to the Misty Cloud Palace's disappearance back then. Yun Lintian simply gave them no face. Even the Palace Master was right next to him. He did not fear to speak rudely on them.
Han Bingling pouted. "Why are you so mean? Do you hate my Frozen Moon Palace that much?" Seeing Yun Lintian didn't react. She said. "I've got the news from my people now. The backer of this Hei Fu guy you're talking about is likely to be the Feng royal clan itself. More precisely, it's the currently Crown Prince, Feng Wanchang."
"The royal clan? No wonder they never send help to deal with the profound beast tide." Yun Lintian found everything was clicked with this information. He asked. "What now? They are right under your nose here."
Han Bingling still wore a faint smile as she replied. "My people have interrogated Hei Fu earlier and got some clues about the Poison Valley." She paused her step and looked at Yun Lintian. "One of their representatives is actually here. Do you want to go with me?"
Yun Lintian thought he needed to go to the bottom of this and readily accepted Han Bingling's invitation. However, he suddenly said. "Right, I am certain there is a mole in your Frozen Moon Palace."

Many Minded
Synopsis: Issa Pyxis, Spacer orphan and illegal heretic, graduated from living on the streets to running with a gang years ago, but now it looks like that’s all going to change. Her inheritance, more specifically who—or what—she is, is catching up with her, and on a planet with the Emperor’s inquisitors slinking around in every shadow, nowhere is safe and no one can be trusted. What will she do? A cyberpunk story about identity, loneliness, covert infiltration, evil dystopias, and much more! Features: - Cyborgs and cyberpunk galore - This is indented to be somewhat “rational” and “hard” Sci-Fi story - Original Fiction however parts of my worldbuilding are inspired by other Sci-Fi stories (duh) Rationale: The future is cool, AIs are kickass, and questions about consciousness are simultaneously existential and yet unanswered. To me, this story is a vehicle for exploring these topics, and also, I wanted to write a story where the protagonist was unafraid of themselves and where their self is more like a git-repo than a meat computer. Disclaimer: This story primarily takes place in what we’d describe as a “cyberpunk dystopia” with some extra technocracy, autocracy, and religious fervor thrown into the mix, so there will be some “grittiness” in this story. Caveat emptor. Also, [insert your favorite boilerplate “views expressed” disclaimer here]. I shouldn’t need to say this, but the main character and other characters in my story can be wrong on occasion (gasp!) and the way they view the world isn’t always objective truth (if such a thing even exists) nor do their views and opinions necessarily reflect the views of me, the author. Cover art by me! [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

Rage: Crisis / Consequence / ???
Its been ten years since Seth was given his powers, ten years since his town was driven mad by that very same power, and ten years since its source was shunted into his head. A species of energy beings, a people filled with regret for what their entrance onto this world caused. Regret for the deaths that town perpetuated, the devastation they brought, the blow they served to the once proud heroes of this world. Heroes Seth now hopes to join, hopes to heal and atone to for what transpired. But their wounds run deep, their ire sharp, and their acceptance thin. And to top it all off... Seth's power is run far deeper than he knows, and sees his world in a light all its own. This series is my first foray into authoring, with two parts out of at best four if the readership stands. But part three will still book end nicely otherwise. And I'm not stopping till then. It is action heavy with varied and ramping up fight scenes through out. (Book 1 is heavy / Book 2 a little lighter) It is bloody in places, mildly gory in others, and heavily gory in simulated places. Nothing truly horrifying, I think, but be warned. It has trauma. PTSD is a major part of the story, but I will never trust that I got it completely right, so your mileage may vary on how believable or impactful it is. Lastly it has language. Swearing ebbs and flows as the story progresses and attitudes harden or soften. Sometimes bleeding through into the narration... somehow.
