Myth Beyond Heaven Chapter 1164 A Message From The Past (1)

“This… This is too much.” Qin Mei became stuttered.

Yun Lintian smiled and threw a bunch of rings on the table. “I still have more.”

Shen Mingjun and Qin Mei grew numb directly upon seeing this. They immediately realized how much they had underestimated Yun Lintian’s background. The resources in his hand were definitely several times more than any first-rated forces in the world.

“Now, uncle and aunty should understand that I have the power to negotiate with him.” Yun Lintian said calmly.

Shen Mingjun took a deep breath and said. “Thank you.”

Yun Lintian shook his head. “There’s no need to say this, Uncle Shen. As I said before, I have a selfish reason to do this. To fight the Poison Valley, I need as many trusted allies as possible. The Shen Clan happens to align with my requirements.”

He paused briefly and said. “However, I will talk with him after going to your clan’s library.”

“No problem.” Shen Mingjun said. “I can bring you there now.”

Yun Lintian nodded and handed Linlin and Qingqing to Yun Qianxue and Han Bingling. “All of you stay here first.”

“Don’t worry.” Yun Qianxue said softly and took Linlin from him.

“I will arrange a place for everyone.” Qin Mei said and led Yun Qianxue and the others out of the study. Meanwhile, Yun Lintian and Shen Liqiu followed Shen Mingjun toward the clan’s library at the back of the manor.

“Why are you stopping me, grandpa?” Inside a private room, Shen Hui looked at his grandfather in dissatisfaction. The pain on his cheek was still lingering there.

Shen Shanyuan looked at his grandson emotionlessly. “It’s because you’re this stupid that I cannot take over the clan yet.”

Shen Hui’s expression turned ashen, but he didn’t say anything.

“Do you know anything about Yun Lintian’s background and the power behind him?” Shen Shanyuan asked calmly.

Shen Hui hesitated briefly and answered. “I-I don’t know. Is he that powerful?”

“This is why I said that you’re stupid. You don’t even know his background, yet you are trying to provoke him. You should be thankful that you’re here in our territory. If you met him outside, you wouldn’t even know how you died.” Shen Shanyuan reprimanded expressionlessly.

He protected Shen Hui even though he knew this grandson was useless because he could use him in the future. However, the appearance of Yun Lintian and Shen Liqiu changed everything now. Once those old guys knew about Yun Lintian’s strength, they would definitely change sides and support Shen Liqiu.

A rebellious person like Shen Liqiu was difficult to control. When she got into the position, it would be very difficult for Shen Shanyuan to control her.

Shen Hui lowered his head, but the deep hatred in his eyes was obvious. Even to this point, he was unwilling to give up on revenge.

However, Shen Shanyuan saw right through his thoughts. He said calmly. “You can forget about taking revenge. You will never have a chance in this life or even the next life.”

“Right now, you have two choices. One is to continue to be silkpants like you usually do and wait to die. If you are tired of living, then go ahead. I won’t stop you this time. Another one is to practice hard and try to become a better person. Perhaps you can contribute something to our clan.”

Shen Shanyuan took a deep look at his grandson and said. “The choices are yours. “

Shen Hui raised his head to look at his grandfather and said hesitantly. “I… I want to become stronger.”

Shen Shanyuan smiled faintly. “Well, at least you still have a brain. Go back to your courtyard. I will tell Shen Dong to personally teach you during this period.”

“Understood, grandpa.” Shen Hui took a deep breath and walked out of the room under Shen Shanyuan’s calm gaze.

A moment later, he said. “Where are they now?”

Swoosh!

A white-haired old man clad in white suddenly appeared behind Shen Shanyuan and said. “They are heading to the library… What’s your instruction?”

“No need to do anything. This is good as well. Perhaps we should support Qiu’er.” Shen Shanyuan’s words startled the old man.

“Master?” The old man couldn’t help asking.

Shen Shanyuan looked at a wooden sword hung on the wall and said calmly. “I think I understand my father’s intention now.”

He went silent for a moment and asked. “Do you remember that day before my father died?”

The white-haired old man said with a serious expression. “Yes. Old Master should have a few years left in him, but no one knows why his condition had deteriorated overnight.”

His brows knitted tightly as he asked. “Could it be Master knew something?”

“He had secretly visited the top floor of the library that night.” Shen Shanyuan said calmly.

The expression of the old man changed drastically. “Old Master, he…?”

“We will see it later.” Shen Shanyuan said and closed his eyes.

The Shen Clan’s library was a seven-story pagoda-shaped building. The outer appearance was clean and simple as if it was an ordinary building. However, one could see this place was probably the most protected area in the clan.

“Greetings, Patriarch.” When two guards saw Shen Mingjun coming, they quickly saluted.

Shen Mingjun nodded and led Yun Lintian and Shen Liqiu into the building. The two guards looked at Yun Lintian in doubt, but they didn’t dare to ask. Since he came with Shen Mingjun, it should be no problem.

A small wooden counter was the first thing everyone saw upon entering the building. Behind the counter was an old man reading a book. This person exuded no aura as if it was an ordinary person.

However, Yun Lintian could see at a glance that he was an absolute expert. Perhaps this person could even be the strongest person in the Shen Clan.

“He’s Grandpa Ning. My great-grandpa’s most loyal servant. As you probably know already, he’s the strongest person in our clan.” Shen Liqiu sent a sound transmission to Yun Lintian.

At this moment, the old man, Shen Ning, put the book down and looked at Shen Mingjun with a kind smile. “Mingjun is here?”

Shen Mingjun walked over and said respectfully. “Uncle Ning, I brought our clan’s esteemed guest here.”

“Guest?” A strange light flashed through Shen Ning’s cloudy eyes as he turned to look at Yun Lintian.

Immediately, Yun Lintian felt as though he was being stripped naked in front of this old man…
