Chapter 120 – A Clue (2)
Yun Lintian, who just received a good man card from Chu Heng's father, calmly replied. "Yes. I'll leave tonight."
Chu Heng's father went silent while pouring a cup of tea for Yun Lintian.
Yun Lintian received the cup with both hands, showing respect to a senior, and waited for his next word. He knew Chu Heng's father had something to say with him.
Chu Heng's father looked at his daughter for a while and turned to Yun Lintian. "I know this might be a presumptuous request, but can you bring her and my son away from this place? You can let them be your servant."
Yun Lintian didn't surprise by his request as he understood the situation. Chu Heng and Chu Mi wouldn't have a future by staying here. However, to take them away? Yun Lintian was not ready to take anyone in. He had so many secrets within his body, and it would be troublesome to enter the Land of Beyond Heaven with someone around him all the time.
Seeing Yun Lintian was silent, Chu Heng's father knew his request was too much, but he couldn't help. Which father didn't want their children to have a promising future? He quickly knelt down on the ground and said pleadingly. "Please. This old man is begging you."
Yun Lintian hurriedly helped him up and said with a soft sigh." Uncle, my path is full of danger. Your children are not necessarily safe with me. Maybe they staying here is safer." He knew his words alone could not convince Chu Heng's father. He said further. "How about this? I'll give them a high-rank profound art. Whether they can become stronger depends on themselves."
Chu Heng's father wasn't an unreasonable person. He understood Yun Lintian had written a clear line by saying this. Hence, he didn't try to force him further. He hesitated and said. "Although I don't know much about the profound ways, such a high-rank profound art should be scarce, right? Is it fine for you to give it away like this?"
Yun Lintian smiled faintly. "Don't worry. There wouldn't be a problem." He then took out two Heaven-rank profound arts he copied during his free time and handed them to Chu Heng's father. "This blue book is for her, and another one is for Chu Heng. Uncle and Aunty can also practice."
Chu Heng's hands trembled when he received two books. He grasped them carefully for fear of damaging them. Without a doubt, these two books were priceless. He suddenly broke into tears and said. "Thank you. Thank you, young man. This old man owed you my life."
Yun Lintian felt Chu Heng's father's words were too heavy. He hurriedly said. "Please don't say this, Uncle. This is not a big deal for me. You owed me nothing. I hope that all of you can survive in this cruel world."
Chu Heng's father nodded his head heavily while hugging the two books closed to his chest as though they were the most precious treasure in this world.
Yun Lintian knew it was time for him to leave. He bid farewell to Chu Heng's father and left the house.
Before Yun Lintian stepping out of the house, Chu Heng's father suddenly asked. "Young man, may I know where I can find you in the future?"
Yun Lintian paused his tracks, turning around, and answered. "Sky Throne Profound Academy in the Profound Sky Divine City. You can find me there." Following that, he turned around and left the house. He had already made up his mind to join the Sky Throne Profound Academy since he had no choice if he wanted to enter the Frozen Moon Mythical Realm.
"Sky Throne Profound Academy… Profound Sky Divine City…" Chu Heng's father repeated these two names to himself several times for fearing he might forget them.

"You sure generous. Are you not afraid he might betray you?" When Yun Lintian left Chu's house, Han Bingling immediately appeared beside him. She witnessed everything that happened earlier and was surprised by Yun Lintian's generosity. Although Heaven-rank profound art was nothing to her, she never saw anyone could give it away casually like him before.
"I have my own measurement." Yun Lintian replied nonchalantly. His earlier action might look reckless, but he didn't fear Chu's family to harm him in the slightest. With the Heaven rank profound art in their hands, if it was to expose to others, their lives would be in danger too. Hence, he believed they wouldn't do something stupid like that.
"So mysterious?" Han Bingling pursed her lips.
"How's your people's side?" Yun Lintian asked while strolling along the streets. "Don't tell me, still get nothing? I didn't expect the Frozen Moon Palace would be this incompetent."
Perhaps it was because the Frozen Moon Palace was likely related to the Misty Cloud Palace's disappearance back then. Yun Lintian simply gave them no face. Even the Palace Master was right next to him. He did not fear to speak rudely on them.
Han Bingling pouted. "Why are you so mean? Do you hate my Frozen Moon Palace that much?" Seeing Yun Lintian didn't react. She said. "I've got the news from my people now. The backer of this Hei Fu guy you're talking about is likely to be the Feng royal clan itself. More precisely, it's the currently Crown Prince, Feng Wanchang."
"The royal clan? No wonder they never send help to deal with the profound beast tide." Yun Lintian found everything was clicked with this information. He asked. "What now? They are right under your nose here."
Han Bingling still wore a faint smile as she replied. "My people have interrogated Hei Fu earlier and got some clues about the Poison Valley." She paused her step and looked at Yun Lintian. "One of their representatives is actually here. Do you want to go with me?"
Yun Lintian thought he needed to go to the bottom of this and readily accepted Han Bingling's invitation. However, he suddenly said. "Right, I am certain there is a mole in your Frozen Moon Palace."
