Myth Beyond Heaven Chapter 768 The Incident

Yun Lintian was puzzled. He didn’t understand why Tong Liya came to him.

It was not only him, but everyone in the dining hall also had the same reaction. They began to scan Yun Lintian from head to toe as though he were a monster.

Yun Lintian nodded slightly. “Sure, but can I finish my food first?”

Everyone was taken aback when they heard this. Especially those men. If they replaced Yun Lintian, they wouldn’t hesitate to go with Tong Liya immediately. How could he still have the gut to eat first?

Tong Liya laughed elegantly. “Please. I will pay for this meal.”

Under everyone’s gaze, Yun Lintian waved his hand and said. “No need. I don’t have a habit of making a lady pay for me.”

“Alright. I will come back later.” Tong Liya did not insist further and went back to her seat.

Yun Lintian turned around and began to dig in.Find upd𝒂ted 𝒏ovels on n𝒐velbin(.)co/m

“Hmph! He’s too arrogant.” Little Hong snorted coldly after returning to her seat.

Another young woman opposite her looked at Tong Liya and asked. “Why do you want to interact with him, Saintess?”

Tong Liyan responded. “He’s not ordinary.” She turned to Little Hong and said. “Don’t be rude, Little Hong. I am indeed wrong for interrupting his meal.”

“But you’re the Saintess….” Little Hong wanted to refute but was interrupted by Tong Liya.

“What about Saintess? It is nothing but a superficial title. Didn’t I tell you before? This world speaks with strength. And he’s the real deal. I can tell.”

Little Hong opened her mouth and kept silent in the end. Meanwhile, the young woman, Little Lan, glanced at Yun Lintian thoughtfully.

“What do you think?” Yun Lintian stuffed a piece of fat meat into his mouth while asking Mu Qiuxue through a sound transmission.

Mu Qiuxue lifted her veil and gently nibbled at a crunchy vegetable. “Among everyone here, you’re the only one who doesn’t have much reaction to her identity. As for what she wants to talk about with you, I do not know. But I think it should be something related to the incident they were talking about earlier.”

Yun Lintian fed Linlin and responded. “If that’s the case, then this incident seems to require a lot of manpower to deal with it.”

Mu Qiuxue didn’t say anything further and continued to enjoy the meal.

While Yun Lintian was eating, somewhere in the city, a handsome young man with sharp eyebrows and eagle-like eyes was sitting in a private room, slowly enjoying a top spirit tea. He was the Eternal Sword Sect’s true successor, Wen Zishan.

“Young Master, I’ve got the news about Plum Mountain Saintess. She’s now having a meal at the Little Forest restaurant.” A middle-aged man in a white robe walked into the room and respectfully reported.

Wen Zishan put the teacup down and asked. “What is it?”

The middle-aged man said further. “She invited a young man to discuss something.”

Wen Zishan turned to look at him and asked. “Who is he?”

The middle-aged man lowered his head. “Please forgive me, Young Master. I cannot find his information. He’s likely to arrive here recently.”

Wen Zishan thought for a moment and said. “Let’s go. It’s time to meet her.”

“Yes, Young Master.” The middle-aged man replied and quickly followed Wen Zishan out.

Inside a private room, Yun Lintian sat opposite Tong Liya and enjoyed a tea she poured for him.

Putting a kettle down, Tong Liya asked. “What should I call you with?”

“My name is Yun Lintian.” Yun Lintian put the teacup down and answered. He didn’t bother to use a fake name since he didn’t plan to stay here for an extended period. “Please go straight to the point, Saintess.”

Tong Liya smiled faintly and said. “You can call me Tong Liya directly.” She paused for a moment and continued. “I think Young Master Yun must be curious about the incident people talked about it earlier. I will tell you now.”

“Three months ago, my junior sisters came here to participate in the Heaven Vault Island exploration, and they all disappeared without a trace. The only clue we got is that they met a strange person upon reaching Heaven Vault Island.” Tong Liya explained.

“Heaven Vault Island?” Yun Lintian repeated in doubt. He had never heard such a name before.

Tong Liya nodded and explained. “The Heaven Vault Island is mysterious, locating not far away from this city. Usually, it is covered by a thick fog, and it will be opened on a full moon. Every time it opens, our Plum Mountain Sect, including Eternal Sword Sect, Driftsnow Pavilion, and Great Earth Sect, will send a group of juniors below the Saint Profound Realm to explore the island.”

“I had visited the island once several years ago. Although the island is full of mysteries, it doesn’t fill with dangers. This time, not only my junior sisters but also everyone on the trip has been mysteriously disappearing.”

Tong Liya paused for a moment and said. “I came here this time to investigate this matter.”

“So, you want me to investigate it with you? Or should I say, you are looking for free labor?” Yun Lintian asked sharply.

Tong Liya nodded admittedly. “I indeed have this intention. Young Master Yun has an extraordinary bearing, and your profound strength is much stronger than what people see.”

Yun Lintian laughed mockingly as if he had just heard the funniest joke in the world. “Why do you think I will accept this task? Because it was asked by the lofty Saintess? If that is the case, I must say you think too much of yourself.”

“Watch your words!” On the side, Little Hong couldn’t bear it anymore. She released her aura and said coldly.

However, the temperature in the room abruptly dropped, and countless ice particles immediately appeared in the room.

Little Hong quickly turned to look at Mu Qiuxue, who sat calmly beside Yun Lintian in amazement. Her profound strength was already at the peak of the Monarch Profound Realm, but she was utterly suppressed by Mu Qiuxue!
