Ning Yue's expression changed. She hurriedly said. "Brother, I don't want to leave you."
Yun Lintian turned his head to look at her and said with a smile. "What I am going to do next is very dangerous. It's not suitable to bring you along. I will feel at ease knowing you're safe and sound in the Divine Moon Clan."
Ning Yue wanted to say something but remained silent in the end. Even if she had already reached the Divine Spirit Realm, it was still not enough to share his burden. She was disappointed in herself.
Seeing her dejected appearance, Yun Lintian said softly. "Practice well. You will have a chance in the future."
Ning Yue reluctantly nodded and said. "You must protect yourself well, brother."
"Don't worry. I don't have the habit of throwing my life away." Yun Lintian chuckled.
"I'll cook." Ning Yue said and quickly rushed to a kitchen with red eyes. She had been lonely for years and finally had someone to rely on. Although she knew this separation was temporary, it couldn't prevent her from crying.
Yun Lintian watched Ning Yue run away with a soft sigh. How could he not know her feeling? It was just that he had no choice here. Going to the Mystic God Realm this time was no different from entering a tiger den. Without the Land of Beyond Heaven, he didn't dare to bring her along.
At this moment, Yue Chuntao appeared silently beside Yun Lintian and sat in Ning Yue's seat. "What's your plan?"
Yun Lintian shifted his gaze back into the sky and said. "There's no plan. It's either kill or be killed."
Yue Chuntao naturally didn't believe it. She poured herself a cup of watermelon juice and said. "The Mystic God Emperor is one of the oldest god emperors. His vision and insight can be ranked at the top. Grandma Hua once told me that if there was someone who could outsmart the Heavenly Desolate God Emperor, it must be him."
Yun Lintian listened to her silently.
"Shen Yan is young and eager for success. Regarding business talent, she is definitely the best among the Mystic God Emperor's descendants. However, being good at business alone is not enough to take over the Mystic God Realm. This is why she has to resort to other means." Yue Chuntao said further.
"You know her well?" Yun Lintian asked curiously.
Yue Chuntao shook her head. "I only met her once. But among her generation, she is the best candidate to take the position. It would be a pity if she died because of this."
"What does it have something to do with me?" Yun Lintian asked plainly.
Yue Chuntao took a sip of the watermelon juice and looked at the gloomy sky. "Have you ever wondered why the Beyond Heaven King chose you to inherit his legacy?"
Yun Lintian went silent. It would be a lie if he had never asked this question to himself.
"The moment I was born, I was destined to inherit the Moon Princess position. While I don't hate it, I still want to know why it has to be me… I kept asking myself over and over, but I couldn't come up with the answer." Yue Chuntao said gently.
"One day, I sneaked out, traveling around the places before stopping at a small village in a random middle-realm star. It was a lovely and peaceful village with a few low-level practitioners. Every day, the villagers would gather and have a meal after working hard in the field for the entire day. It was a simple yet beautiful sight to behold. I will never forget that warm feeling for the rest of my life."
"Later, the village encountered a food crisis because of a natural disaster. I decided to help them and go to the nearby city to bring enough food back… However, when I returned, everyone was no longer there… They were killed by bandits."
Yue Chuntao turned to look at Yun Lintian, who happened to look at her and said calmly. "It was at that moment did I find the answer… It doesn't matter why I am chosen. What matters is how I use the power I got… I will use my power to help and protect people I deem worthy."
Yun Lintian remained silent, but his mind thought of the question. His answer was actually simple—he wanted to protect the people around him. That was something he was determined for from the beginning.
"I believe that we have the same thinking on how to use the power we inherited." Yue Chuntao said further. "However, we have different duties. You may know it once you unravel the mystery behind the Beyond Heaven King's downfall. And I think it won't be that far."
"To unravel it, you needed a lot of helpers, and the Mystic God Realm is one of the best candidates. Especially in this situation where you are surrounded by enemies… I'm not asking you to spare Shen Yan's life or anything, but you should think of the big picture."
"They are businessmen, and they won't throw away a good asset like your fourth sister easily. No matter what, her life will be guaranteed. After all, they needed her for the last resort in case you stormed in, and they couldn't handle you."
Yun Lintian turned to look at the sky and said. "I am fully aware of this point, but thanks for sharing your thoughts with me… As for Shen Yan, it was my own stupidity for giving her a chance to take advantage of me. However, if we talk about a true heir candidate, I think there's a better option."
Yue Chuntao was slightly surprised and said with a smile. "That's actually not bad."
"When are you going to leave?" She asked.
Yun Lintian thought for a moment and said. "In a few days… Wait until I reach the threshold."
A strange light flashed through Yue Chuntao's eyes when she heard this. A moment later, she seemed to think of something, and the corner of her mouth slowly curved up. "It must be a beautiful scene to see."
Yun Lintian offered no comment. He said. "I'll leave Yueyue to you during this time… But, don't run around."
Yue Chuntao rolled her eyes annoyingly upon hearing the latter sentence.
"Let's eat." At this moment, Ning Yue came over with various delicacies…
