Shen Yan, who was born with everything at the tip of her finger and was a proud daughter of heaven, lost her composure and felt scared for the first time in her life.
With her cleverness and knowing how to maximize a profit, she had never suffered a huge setback. It made her believe everything was within her control—even the Beyond Heaven King's successor was no exception.
However, the more she listened to Wu Qingcheng's words, the more sober she became. In her opinion, Yun Lintian wasn't the type who risked his life recklessly. Even though his current profound strength might not be high, the fact that he dared to come here proves that he had something to rely on. Even the Mystic God Emperor might not be able to restrain him.
Furthermore, Shen Yan was the one who made use of Wu Qingcheng in the first place. She would be the only person who bore Yun Lintian's anger, and her ending was definitely not good.
Wu Qingcheng calmly watched as her opponent turned pale. There was no joy in her heart, even though she had successfully made Shen Yan lower her head. It was because everything brought by Yun Lintian's presence not coming from her ability.
"Say something." Shen Yan asked further as she saw Wu Qingcheng remain silent.
"If I were you, the first thing I would do right now was find your grandfather and confess everything. Though he definitely knows everything. Asking him to mediate. In this way, you should be able to save your life," Wu Qingcheng said calmly.
Shen Yan frowned slightly and shook her head. If she did that, she would certainly lose the right to participate in the competition.
Wu Qingcheng said further. "Secondly, I can talk with him and make him calm down. However, I cannot guarantee that he will give up. Knowing his personality, I don't think he will."
"Can you find him?" Shen Yan asked.
Wu Qingcheng pursed her lips. "It's not a hundred percent, but there's a high chance."
Back in the Azure World, Wu Qingcheng often tracked Yun Lintian's trace, as she wanted to know his situation. This allowed her to understand Yun Lintian's habits and choices when he went incognito. She was sure that she could find him.
"I agree. I'll ask Uncle Xu to go with you." Shen Yan quickly responded.
"Don't be excited. I know what you're thinking about." Wu Qingcheng looked at Shen Yan with a playful smile. "If you think you can take this chance to capture him before he can make a move, I must say you should go back and take a good rest for a few days because your head isn't in the right place."
"If you do this, it will worsen the situation and decrease your chance of survival."
Shen Yan went silent immediately. She indeed had such a thought earlier.
Wu Qingcheng chuckled. "It seems your Shen Clan's teaching is not good. It actually made a young miss like you become a greedy woman."
Shen Yan opened her mouth, trying to explain. "You have no idea how important the true heir position meant to me. If I lose, I will have no place to stay for the rest of my life."
Wu Qingcheng didn't care about it. She continued. "There's another way. Since my junior brother is surrounded by countless enemies, you can ask your grandfather to break his neutral position and support him. With this, I believe my junior brother will let bygones be bygones."
"Impossible," Shen Yan responded immediately. "No matter how much potential Yun Lintian has, it won't be enough for my grandfather to break the longstanding stance."
"Of course, I'm aware of this point." Wu Qingcheng said nonchalantly. "But how do you know if you don't try? Don't forget that it's about your life, not mine. I'm not the anxious one."
Wu Qingcheng's life could be regarded as useless. Even if she died right here and right now, it wouldn't make a wave or anything. Her only regret was that she probably didn't have a chance to meet her favorite junior brother again.
This was why she had no intention of finding a way for herself.
The reason she tried to help Shen Yan was to help Yun Lintian avoid this risk. She wanted him to leave directly and forget about her if possible, but she knew Yun Lintian wouldn't give up. Hence, she tried to make Shen Yan give up on him instead.
Shen Yan shut her mouth immediately. She suddenly felt that her brain wasn't working right now.
After calming down, she said. "Try the second method first. If possible, I want to apologize to him personally and promise to never do it again. Moreover, I will try my best to help him get out of the predicament."
"Save that for him. It's useless to tell me here." Wu Qingcheng raised her hand to interrupt Shen Yan. "The problem is, my movement will be monitored by your people. Especially the woman who gave birth to me. If you can solve this problem, I am more than willing to go."
"No problem. I have a way to avoid them." Shen Yan nodded. "We can go now."
Wu Qingcheng was about to agree, but she saw Wu Liwei enter the house.
Wu Liwei glanced at the two of them and said. "I want to return to the lower realm with my people."
Wu Qingcheng was taken aback briefly and understood Wu Liwei's mood. Wu Liwei wasn't an ambitious person. He had only one goal in his life, which was reuniting with his wife. Since there was nothing for him to care about here, it was better to leave.
Of course, Wu Liwei had thought of ending himself, but he didn't want Wu Qingcheng to be left alone in this cruel world.
Shen Yan thought for a moment and said. "I promise to send all of you back after everything is done."
Wu Liwei nodded slightly and walked out of the house.
Wu Qingcheng retracted her gaze from her father and said. "Let's go."
***
Inside the dining hall of the inn he stayed, Yun Lintian sat at his favorite table near the window, looking at the bustling street outside. He could see the number of people has increased drastically overnight. Without a doubt, his whereabouts must have been spread out already.
Yun Lintian calmly sipped the wine and suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure. It was no other than his fourth sister… Why did she appear here?
