Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 503 - Overthinking

Wu Tianwei let out a sigh and said. "It would be better for both sides if you are willing to tell me about this person. Don't you think so, Uncle Yu, Grandpa Yu?"

"Dream on." Yu Lang responded angrily. Meanwhile, Yu Teng did not react in the slightest.

Wu Tianwei shook his head regretfully. "Do you know the consequence of being soul searched?… You might lose your mind forever, you know?"

Yu Lang snorted coldly. "It doesn't matter. We are in your hands, anyway. If you think that could scare us, you can try."

Wu Tianwei sighed. "Why must you force me?" He waved his hand and said to the coachman. "Go ahead. Search their souls."

The coachman grinned and was about to make a move. However, Elder Yan suddenly said. "Third Young Master. It wouldn't be good if Young Miss Murong knew about this… In fact, there's no need to do this at all."

Wu Tianwei's brows raised in surprise. "It is indeed not good, as you said, Elder Yan. But how are we going to find out that person's identity?"

"Let me." Elder Yan said. He turned to Yu Lang and Yu Teng. "I know both of you are grateful to this person. The fact that he is willing to take care of your daughters despite knowing his action will offend us as a result has said everything."

Elder Yan paused for a moment and continued. "You two might not know me. My name is Yan Guangming, the Second Elder of the Mystic Pavilion. If you go to the Blue Tide City or any medium-sized city, you will understand what my name is represented. What I am going to say next may sound ironic, but I can guarantee with my name that everything is true."

At this moment, Wu Tianwei chimed in. "Elder Yan is known as a righteous person. The earlier action that harmed the villagers isn't his or my idea. My servant did it himself." As he spoke, he glanced at the coachman in dissatisfaction.

The coachman was startled. How come this pot was falling on his head? However, he didn't dare to refute and hurriedly nodded. "That's right. It's all my fault."

Yu Lang furrowed his brows and looked at these people with uncertainty. Of course, he wouldn't forgive them for what they did but rather doubt what Yan Guangming and Wu Tianwei were trying to do.

Yu Teng slowly opened his eyes and looked at Yan Guangming calmly. "Please state your intention directly. It's unnecessary to go roundabout like this."

Yan Guangming nodded and said. "Our Mystic Pavilion engages in a trading business, including information selling. Someone has placed an order to find Rain Woman's identity. We have no intention of harming anyone here or Rain Woman you respect. After we confirm her identity, we will leave right away."

"We don't know who the person that took your precious daughters away is. But I can tell you that. We are not the only force that accepted this task. If this person turns out to be someone from other forces, I'm afraid your daughters are in danger right now. So, please tell us about this person."

Yan Guangming's words were filled with sincerity. If he was acting, Yu Teng and Yu Lang had to admit he was probably the best actor in the world, as they couldn't see any flaw in him.

Yu Lang turned to look at his father and did not know what to say. His heart swayed by Yan Guangming, and he started to doubt Yun Lintian's identity.

Surprisingly, Yu Teng shook his head and said. "I understand your point. However, I believe in my own eyes. This person is not someone from your enemy's forces."

Yan Guangming saw the confidence in Yu Teng's eyes and couldn't help asking. "May I know why you are so confident?"

Yu Teng took a deep breath and said. "Because he didn't seem to know anything about Rain Woman."

Yu Lang's face flashed with a look of realization. He quickly said. "It's true. His face was full of curiosity when I mentioned this. He really has no idea or heard about Rain Woman before." 

Yan Guangming nodded in an understanding manner. He could see Yu Teng and Yu Lang didn't lie to him. "You mean this person isn't someone from the Central Continent?"

Yu Lang shook his head. "He said he had lived secludedly deep in the mountain for all his life, and he had just come out not long ago."

"Can you tell me about his appearance?" Wu Tianwei asked. 

Yu Lang hesitated briefly and said. "He's around my daughter's age, under twenty. He is dressed in plain white and possesses a calm demeanor, seemingly far ahead of his age. That's all I know."

"You didn't even know him well. Yet you leave your daughters with him?" Wu Tianwei felt weird about this.

Yu Lang said with a firm expression. "I believe him." 

"Really? I'm starting to interest in this person now." Wu Tianwei said with a smile.

On the side, Yan Guangming was pondering on something. He looked around once again and said. "This person's strength isn't low at all. He could avoid my perception easily, which means he should have the strength at least the Saint Profound Realm or above. From Village Head Yu's words, he seems to be under twenty. I wonder which secluded powerhouse he has worshiped as a master?"

Yan Guangming refused to believe Yun Lintian had no master. With his strength, it was impossible for him to practice by himself.

A rare frown appeared between Wu Tianwei's eyebrows. He didn't doubt Yan Guangming's words at all and started to think about a possible figure of Yun Lintian's master. This world didn't lack secluded old monsters. It could be anyone from an ancient era.

Yu Teng and Yu Lang glanced at each other in shock upon hearing Yang Guangming's statement. They didn't expect Yun Lintian to possess such a high-level strength. What kind of monster did they accommodate?

While others were pondering about his identity, Yun Lintian had already arrived at a small hill with a gigantic ancient tree on top. He surveyed the surroundings shortly and turned to ask Yu's sisters. "Is it this place?"

Yu Xiaoya and Yu Xiaolu nodded their heads vigorously. "Yes.. We met her here."
