Chapter 223 – Various Reaction
"You said Bai Yun is determined to protect him? What do you think about this matter?" Peng Huang put the matter of Yun Lintian's identity aside and asked Peng Zheng.
Peng Zheng smiled faintly as he replied. "This Yun Lintian got into a conflict with both Lin and our clan. Coupled with his monstrous strength and having Han Bingling's support, how could that clever guy Bai Yun let this chance go? There's nothing wrong with that. If it was me, I would do the same."
He paused for a moment and continued. "What we should concern right now is the relationship between Han Bingling and Yun Lintian. We can see this from Lin Wuwei's incident. Han Bingling is willing to go to this extent in order to protect him. Their connection is no longer limited as a good friend… Before we could figure out, we shouldn't do anything on him."
Peng Huang looked straight at Peng Zheng for a while. A satisfied smile appeared on his face as he said.. "You're right. We shouldn't do anything on Yun Lintian until we figure out the relationship between Han Bingling and him." He then turned to Peng Xiaowang. The smile on his face was replaced by a cold expression. "Understand?"
Facing his father's stern gaze, Peng Xiaowang shuddered involuntarily and hurriedly nodded his head as though his life were on the line. "Don't worry, Father. I won't deal with him."
"Hmph!" Peng Huang snorted coldly. He didn't believe his useless son would do as he said.

While Peng Huang and his sons were talking, in the Bai manor, Bai Yun, Bai Qingyi, a kind-looking middle-aged man, and a gentle-looking woman were also discussing Yun Lintian.
"Do you know his relationship with Palace Master Han?" The middle-aged man asked. He was the current patriarch of the Bai clan, Bai Yunfeng.
Bai Yun shook his head. "I don't know, Father. He and I just became friends last night. It's not appropriate to ask him."
Bai Yunfeng nodded lightly and turned to Bai Qingyi. "What about you? Any clue?"
Bai Qingyi was helpless. He had met Yun Lintian just a moment before Bai Yun. How could he know about it? "I have no idea, Father."
Bai Yunfeng did not blame Bai Qingyi. Instead, he smiled and asked. "What do you think of him? Is he worth befriend?"
"Certainly." Bai Qingyi replied in almost an instant.
"Why? Don't tell me it's because he's handsome?" The beautiful woman beside Bai Yunfeng teased. Her name was Lu Ran, Bai Yunfeng's wife and the mother of Bai Yun and Bai Qingyi.
Bai Qingyi almost subconsciously nodded his head but managed to hold back in time. He coughed lightly and said. "As we know, his strength is abnormally high, and his connection with Palace Master Han is not ordinary. As for his personality, from what I see, he's not an evil man. He treats his companion beast like his real sibling. I don't think such a kindhearted person is bad. In short, no matter how we look, our Bai clan won't lose anything by befriending with him."
Bai Yunfeng and Lu Ran nodded their heads approvingly. Although Bai Qingyi was young, his judgment was always on point. That was why Bai Yunfeng asked him the question.
"He lives in our inn, right?" Bai Yunfeng asked. Seeing Bai Yun and Bai Qingyi nodded their heads, Bai Yunfeng continued. "You find a chance to invite him here. I want to talk with him."
Bai Yun wasn't surprised about this. He gave a reassuring smile. "Alright. I'll invite him later today."
A similar scene happened in the Qin and the Lin manor as well. The Lin clan members didn't understand why their patriarch, Lin Canghai, allowed Han Bingling to kill Lin Wuwei. In any case, losing Lin Wuwei would reduce their clan's power and prestige.
Several of them proposed to capture Yun Lintian, but Lin Canghai denied everything and even told them not to mess with Yun Lintian. This made them puzzled to the point they thought Lin Canghai got benefited from the Frozen Moon Palace.
Unfortunately, no matter how unwilling they were, they could not defy Lin Canghai and could only sigh helplessly, mourning for Lin Wuwei, who died in vain.

After arranging Yun Meilan and Yun Lingwei's matters, Yun Lintian walked out of the inn with Linlin and Yang Chen. Today, he decided to take a look at the Sky Throne Profound Academy. Though he knew Peng Zheng might look for a chance to kill him, Yun Lintian wasn't afraid in the slightest.
When Yang Chen learned about the incident last night, he felt guilty as he implicated Yun Lintian. Even though Yun Lintian told him not to mind about, he still felt uncomfortable. However, with his current strength, Yang Chen was powerless against the Peng clan. He could only swallow this grudge and determine to improve his strength as soon as possible.
Visiting the academy today, Yang Chen wanted to find a clue about the Flame Demon Bridge that Yan Qi told him. A month ago, he arrived at the divine city and tried his best to find it, but he gained nothing.
Just as the two were about to find a carriage, Bai Yun appeared in their line of sight and greeted them. "Little Brother Yun, where are you going today?" He scanned Yang Chen briefly and turned to Yun Lintian.
"Brother Bai." Yun Lintian politely greeted. Since last night, he had changed the way of calling Bai Yun; From Young Master Bai to Brother Bai. "We're planning to visit the academy. I don't know if they open for the outsider."
"Of course, you can go in." Bai Yun smiled and turned to Yang Chen. "This is…"
Yang Chen cupped his fists and introduced himself. "Greetings, Young Master Bai. My name is Yang Chen."
"He is my good brother." Yun Lintian added.
"Haha. Since you are Little Brother Yun's brother, you can call me Brother Bai." Bai Yun patted Yang Chen's shoulder in a good mood. At the same time, he secretly checked Yang Chen and discovered the energy within Yang Chen's body was abundant than any tenth level of Spirit Profound practitioner should have.
