Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 504 - Strange Relationship

Yun Lintian furrowed his brows in confusion. There was nothing particular in this place except for the giant ancient tree. He tried to pry into the tree but still could not find anything special, which made him puzzled slightly… Why would Rain Woman appear in such an ordinary place? Perhaps this place had something to do with her past? After all, she seemed to have amnesia.

"B-brother Mu…" Yu Xiaoya's voice brought Yun Lintian back to reality.

He turned to look at her and saw worries written all over her face. Yun Lintian immediately understood her mood. He smiled and said. "Don't worry. Nothing will happen to your father and grandfather. If those people want to do anything, do you think they would spare all of you until now? I believe there's something restraining them from doing that."

"I think I know it." Yu Xiaolu chimed in. "Last time when they came to our village. There was a beautiful sister coming along with them. Her name is Murong Yu. Those people seemed to fear her."

"Murong Yu?" Yun Lintian had a strange expression on his face… First, Wu Tianwei from the Mystic Pavilion and now Murong Yu. Could it be she has something to do with Second Sister?

He looked at Yu Xiaolu and asked. "Did she tell you about her origin?"

This time, it was Yu Xiaoya who answered. "She came from a famous dancing hall. We have already forgotten the name."

Yu Xiaolu nodded her head vigorously. "Yes, yes. Sister Yu had also taught us how to dance."

Hearing this, Yun Lintian was certain this Murong Yu came from Endless Dream Dancing Hall. However, he had no idea about the relationship between the Mystic Pavilion and the Endless Dream Dancing Hall. Why would they come together?

"You said those people were afraid of her? How did you know that?" Yun Lintian asked.

Yu Xiaolu curled her lips as she answered. "The way that bad guy looked at her was full of flattery. I think he likes Sister Yu."

"I see." Yun Lintian wasn't as naïve as Yu Xiaolu. He believed there must be something more behind this. However, it wasn't the time to care about it. He would eventually find out later, anyway.

He surveyed the surroundings for a moment and found a small brook a few kilometers away from this place. Yun Lintian didn't think further and brought Yu Xiaoya and Yu Xiaolu to the place.

"We are going to stay here for a while. Wait until Rain Woman appears, and we will return to the village." Yun Lintian looked around the small brook and found a relatively hidden space to settle in.

Yu Xiaoya and Yu Xiaolu didn't say anything. No matter how worried they were, it was useless at this moment.

Yun Lintian took out two tents and set them up. He put some furniture and beds inside and let Yu's sisters stay in one tent. Afterward, he carefully set up an isolation formation, conceal formation, alarm formation, and a killing formation around the place. With this, even if there was a monarch-level creature coming, it wouldn't be able to break into this area for a long time.

Yu Xiaoya and Yu Xiaolu watched Yun Lintian busily setting up everything in a daze. They had no idea what Yun Lintian was doing, but they believed everything was for their own sake. They couldn't help looking at Yun Lintian with gratitude.

After checking everything, Yun Lintian patted his hands and turned to Yu's sisters. "I'll go out to do something for a while. There are food and other necessities in your tent. You can use everything at ease. No need to be polite."

Yu Xiaoya and Yu Xiaolu bowed their heads and said gratefully. "Thank you, Brother Mu."

Yun Lintian took out two transmission jades and handed them to Yu Xiaoya and Yu Xiaolu. "These are transmission jades. You can use this to contact me. Here I will teach you how to use it." 

Seeing Yu Xiaoya and Yu Xiaolu knowing how to use the transmission jades, Yun Lintian looked around for one last time and said with a serious expression. "Remember, do not go out of this place, no matter what happened. No one can harm you as long as you stay here. Also, do not believe anyone even if they told you about your father… I should come back at night."

"Understood." Yu Xiaoya and Yu Xiaolu held the transmission jades tightly. Although they didn't have much worldly experience, it didn't mean they were stupid.

Yun Lintian nodded and executed Shadow Step, disappearing from the spot.

Looking at Yun Lintian's disappearing position, Yu Xiaolu said in a daze. "Sister Ya, do you think Brother Mu is an immortal in the legend?"

Yu Xiaoya smiled and said teasingly. "What are you thinking?"

Yu Xiaolu's face turned red slightly. She lowered her head and shyly said. "Hehe. It's nothing."

Seeing Yu Xiaolu's shy appearance, Yu Xiaoya patted her sister's head and said with a soft sigh. "Forget about it. We are not in the same world as Brother Mu. It will hurt you if you go too deep."

Yu Xiaolu went silent. She was aware of this point. It was impossible for her, an ordinary girl, to be with Yun Lintian, and he was destined to leave this place soon. Perhaps it would be the last time they saw each other in this life.

"Let's go. Sister will cook something for you." Yu Xiaoya changed the topic and dragged her sister into the tent.

***

At this moment, Yun Lintian returned to the small hill where Rain Woman often appeared. He looked around briefly and walked to the top of the hill. 

When he arrived in front of the ancient tree, Yun Lintian suddenly felt a powerful conceptual intent radiating from it. After experiencing it last time, he didn't dare to be careless and raised his mental power to the maximum.

"What kind of tragedy she had suffered to possess such an intense sorrow like this?" Yun Lintian couldn't help muttering in wonder. Aside from the grief and sorrow emotions, he could also feel a yearning sentiment from it… Who was this Rain Woman exactly?
