《Myth Beyond Heaven 》Chapter 236: Benefit Obtained
Advertisement
Bai Yunfeng went straightforward without hiding his intention. He simply wanted to befriend Yun Lintian because of Yun Lintian's limitless potential and the connection with Han Bingling.
Though he was indeed a bit disappointed hearing Yun Lintian and Han Bingling had already cleared the debt of favor, Yun Lintian's strength alone was enough to get him to his side. Is there any Origin Profound practitioner who could contend with the peak Saint out there? The answer is no. Yun Lintian was the first one Bai Yunfeng encountered.
Yun Lintian took a sip of tea and remained silent. He didn't mind befriending the Bai clan, but it had to be on mutual benefit terms. Right now, Yun Lintian could not give them any benefit, but in the future, the Bai clan would realize how lucky they were to make this choice. That was Yun Lintian's confidence.
Lu Ran saw the atmosphere was stagnated. She pretended to hit Bai Yunfeng angrily. "Why did you bring this topic out when seeing Little Friend Yun for the first time? Aren't we supposed to prepare a banquet?"
"That's right, Father. You're too rude, don't you know?" Bai Yun didn't let the chance to get back on his old man go.
Bai Yunfeng slapped his forehead and smiled apologetically at Yun Lintian. "You're right. It's my fault, Little Friend Yun. I hope you don't mind about it. Uncle is too anxious."
Yun Lintian shook his head slightly. "It's fine, Uncle Bai. I totally understand. If I was under heavy pressure like you, I would act the same."
"Thank you for understanding me." Bai Yunfeng was relieved. He was indeed rude, as Bai Yun said. This was the first time he met Yun Lintian, after all.
"Serve the dishes." Lu Ran called the servants nearby. A moment later, several delicacies had filled the table.

"Let's start." Bai Yunfeng beckoned, and everyone started digging in.
Bai Yunfeng talked with Yun Lintian on various topics during the meal, and Bai Yunfeng slowly realized Yun Lintian was more mature than his peers. Whether it was his vision and his analyzing skills, everything shouldn't belong to a seventeen-year-old boy. This made him curious about Yun Lintian's background.
Yun Lintian didn't know that Han Bingling deliberately hid his background information from the world since the first time he revealed his ability in public. Otherwise, the Peng clan and the Lin clan would come to knock on his door a long time ago. And this was the reason why Bai Yunfeng couldn't find any clue about Yun Lintian.
There were misunderstandings between Yun Lintian and Han Bingling recently, but no one could be blamed on it. Yun Lintian wasn't omnipotent enough to know everything. Especially when it came to Yun Qianxue's matter. He would become sensitive. That was why he thought Han Bingling might instigate Yun Qianxue to leave him more than thinking she was helping her.
On the other side, Han Bingling had told Yun Lintian the truth, but some of her arrangements in the past made Yun Lintian wary of her. For example, she sent Han Muyue to secretly follow Yun Lintian despite saying she wouldn't do it. Even though she had a good intention of protecting him, if Yun Lintian's intuition wasn't strong enough, who knows how many of his secrets would expose to Han Muyue. At that time, it was uncertain whether Han Bingling would be tempted and want to snatch his plot armor away. Everything was possible in this cruel world.
"Will you stay here tonight? I've arranged a place for you." Bai Yunfeng said after the meal.
Yun Lintian refused politely. "Thank you, Uncle Bai. But I have to go back. Otherwise, my aunt will worry about me." During the previous conversation, Yun Lintian had introduced Yun Lingwei, Yun Qianxue, and Yun Meilan as his aunt.

Bai Yunfeng did not insist. He asked. "You said your aunt, Yun Lingwei, is a superb chef, and she's looking for a place to open her business? How about I give you a place?"
Yun Lintian's eyes lit up. He was looking forward to this all along. "Thank you, Uncle Bai. With this, my aunts would have something to do after I join the academy."
"Haha. You're so confident to pass the assessment?" Bai Yunfeng laughed slightly, but he believed Yun Lintian could easily pass the assessment with his current strength. There shouldn't be anyone who could be compared with him among his peers.
Yun Lintian smiled in reply. His eyes were full of confidence. However, he definitely wouldn't target the first place. It would be better to stop at the top one hundred.
Bai Yunfeng turned to Bai Yun and said. "You go vacate our best store in the center of the snack streets and give it to Little Friend Yun."
"Understood, Father." Bai Yun accepted the task readily.
Yun Lintian was taken aback for a moment as he didn't expect Bai Yunfeng would give him such a golden location store. However, he didn't plan to reject it. It was good for him, anyway.
"Thank you, Uncle Bai." Yun Lintian bowed his head slightly
Bai Yunfeng waved his hand dismissively. "It's nothing. You and your aunts can operate at ease."
Yun Lintian exchanged a few words with Bai Yunfeng and Lu Ran for a long while before leaving the Bai manor with Bai Yun.
"Please forgive my father for being rude. He's like that recently." Along the way back to the inn, Bai Yun said with an apologetic expression.
"What are you talking about, Brother Yun? You don't have to say this at all. I totally understand it. On the contrary, it should be me who gives you an apology. With my current strength, I can't help your Bai clan at all. And now, I'm taking advantage of you. Honestly, I feel ashamed, but I'm not hypocritical enough to refuse the benefit." Yun Lintian said sincerely.
Hearing this, Bai Yun chuckled. He felt Yun Lintian was genuinely worthwhile to befriend. If it was others, they would undoubtedly pretend to reject first and accept later so that they could be viewed as though they weren't a benefit seeker. However, Yun Lintian admitted it frankly. His personality aligned with Bai Yun's liking.
