Wu Qingcheng wandered in the city for a few hours, and she still couldn't find Yun Lintian's trace. She had gone to many inns and restaurants where she believed Yun Lintian would be. Unfortunately, the city was too large, and it was impossible for her to find him imdiately.
After leaving the Shen Clan with the help of Shen Yan, Wu Qingcheng concealed her aura and altered her appearance a bit. Only people close to her could recognize her, and it was indeed the case as Yun Lintian noticed her almost instantly.
Yun Lintian watched as Wu Qingcheng walked on the street, but his perception wasn't on her. He secretly scanned the surrounding, trying to find whether soone was following her. However, he didn't see anyone so far… What exactly happened here?
At this mont, Wu Qingcheng found the inn where Yun Lintian stayed. Seeing it was a cheap inn, Wu Qingcheng imdiately walked in and looked around the dining hall. Her gaze paused on Yun Lintian briefly, and she seed to recognize him right away.
However, she didn't walk straight to Yun Lintian but chose a nearby table to sit down, ordering so dishes.
"I finally found you, my good junior brother." Wu Qingcheng sent a sound transmission to Yun Lintian.
Yun Lintian felt shocked inwardly and couldn't comprehend how Wu Qingcheng recognized him.
As if she saw through his doubt, Wu Qingcheng explained. "I had observed you a lot back in the Azure World. You always chose a relatively cheap inn because it's where all low-level practitioners gather. These people love gossiping, unlike those high-level practitioners."
"You also love to sit at a table near the window because you can observe the situation inside and outside at the sa ti. It is the best location to gain the most information."
Yun Lintian was surprised to hear this. He suddenly discovered that his fourth sister wasn't only smart, but her observation ability was top-notched. It was no wonder she could earn a lot of money in business.
Yun Lintian didn't look at her as he responded. "How could you co here, Forth Sister? Shen Yan sent you to negotiate with ?"
It wasn't difficult for Yun Lintian to guess. After all, there was only one possibility that Shen Yan could allow Wu Qingcheng to co out alone.
Wu Qingcheng poured herself a cup of wine and took a gulp before replying. "Indeed. She's scared witless right now."
Without waiting for Yun Lintian to say anything, she said further. "However, I didn't co here to plead for her. I just want you to leave. The water in the Shen Clan is running deep. I don't want to see you risk your life for ."
Yun Lintian went silent for a mont and asked. "How did they treat you?"
"Not good. My father and I can live to this day because Shen Yan wants to use us. As for Little Xia and others, they were sent to work as miners sowhere." Wu Qingcheng replied truthfully.
"However, this is my problem, not yours. You shouldn't worry about ."
"You can't say that, Fourth Sister. It's true that we are fellow disciples under the sa master, and our relationship can't be considered deep, but that's enough for to co here. Otherwise, how could I look at our sisters and Master when I go back?" Yun Lintian responded.
Wu Qingcheng went silent and took another gulp of wine.
"Moreover, you are not the only reason I ca here." Yun Lintian said further. "Presumably, you should know my situation already. I need soone to buy ti for , and the Mystic God Emperor is a suitable choice. He's one of the oldest God Emperors and capable enough to stop my enemies."I think you should take a look at
Wu Qingcheng frowned slightly and asked. "How are you going to make him help you?"
"You don't have to worry about that. I have my own way. At worst, I will just leave if it doesn't work." Yun Lintian said casually.
"Let's talk about Shen Yan. What's her attitude?" He asked.
"Well, I don't think she is pretending. She's genuinely scared and probably wants to make a deal with you in a peaceful way." Wu Qingcheng said after a short ponder. "She couldn't afford to lose in the incoming competition, and you were originally her trump card."
Yun Lintian thought for a mont and asked. "Do you like it here, Fourth Sister?"
"What do you an?" Wu Qingcheng asked with confusion.
"I just want to know whether you want to stay here in the Divine Realm." Yun Lintian explained.
Wu Qingcheng pondered briefly and replied. "The Divine Realm is like heaven compared to the Azure World. It would be a lie if I said I didn't want to stay here… However, my father wants to go back now."
"Our Azure World is the safest place, and Uncle Wu can achieve divinity there with no problem. However, I don't think it's a good idea for him to go back. Especially in this situation." Yun Lintian said.
"Why?" Wu Qingcheng didn't quite understand.
"Fourth Sister probably doesn't know about Shan Jinhao, who married your mother. His background is not ordinary. It's one of the biggest bounty hunter groups. They are expertizing in assassinating. Once Uncle Wu leaves, he will die right away." Yun Lintian explained.
Wu Qingcheng's heart sank. She truly had no idea about Shan Jinhao's background. He would undoubtedly kill her father, as Yun Lintian said.
"I heard that the true heir position is extrely important. Why is that?" Yun Lintian suddenly asked.
Wu Qingcheng replied. "From what I know, this position equals the next clan head. Shen Yan said anyone who got this position would have all the power in their hand. Even Shen Yifei must listen to their words."
"Do you believe that?" Yun Lintian asked further.
"I didn't at first. But seeing how desperate Shen Yan is, I'm certain there's the truth in it, more or less." Wu Qingcheng expressed her thoughts.
Yun Lintian slowly turned to look at Wu Qingcheng and asked in a deep voice. "Fourth Sister. Why don't you take this position yourself?"
Wu Qingcheng's eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Yun Lintian. "I… It's impossible."
"Why not? Technically, you're a part of the Shen Clan and have the right to take the position. No matter how hard they deny acknowledging you, they cannot deny the blood in your veins." Yun Lintian said with a aningful smile.
