Yun Lintian's words were without a reason. Wu Qingcheng was a descendant of the Mystic God Emperor at the end of the day, whether they acknowledged her or not.
Wu Qingcheng took a deep breath to calm down and asked. "The problem is, I cannot participate in the competition, and even if I did, I don't have any achievement or advantage to compete with others."
She took a deep look at Yun Lintian and said. "Unless…"
Yun Lintian nodded gently. "That's right. We won't use a normal method."
Wu Qingcheng's mind spun rapidly, analyzing the possibilities. A moment later, she said with a firm voice. "I will do as you said."
A smile appeared on Yun Lintian's face as he said. "Fourth Sister just tells Shen Yan that I can compromise, but anyone who harms my people has to pay the price."
"First, she has to make sure that you, your father, and your people will live a good life here. Secondly, she must pay me a trillion high-graded Divine Stones. And lastly, she must provide me whereabouts of the Sea of the Stars."
"The last one can be delayed, but the first two must be taken care of immediately."
Wu Qingcheng was slightly stunned. She could understand the first one, but the second one… A trillion-worth high-graded Divine Stones… Such an amount. Anyone would go bankrupt directly.
"Don't underestimate the wealth of the Mystic Auction House, Fourth Sister. You're in this business yourself. You should know it more than me." Yun Lintian said when he saw Wu Qingcheng's stunned expression.
"You're right." Wu Qingcheng nodded slightly.
The Mystic Auction House here was operated in almost every middle and upper realm, and daily incomes must be astronomical. A trillion Divine Stones weren't that much for them.
"If she agrees, let her pay first, and I will be there when the time comes." Yun Lintian said further. "But if she doesn't, death is the only thing waiting for her."
Wu Qingcheng asked concernedly. "Are you…?"
"As I told you before, I have my own way. You don't have to worry about it, Fourth Sister." Yun Lintian gave her a reassuring smile. "When your people return, you can take them to live in a city and do some small businesses first. Leave the rest to me."
Wu Qingcheng was deeply touched by Yun Lintian's kindness. Back in the Azure World, Nantian Fengyu was the only one among the five sisters who accompanied Yun Lintian most of the time, and Wu Qingcheng had never received such treatment from him directly before.
"Now I know what it feels like to be taken care of," Wu Qingcheng said with a charming smile. "No wonder there are so many women around you… How about accepting your Fourth Sister too?"
Yun Lintian's face twitched slightly, and they quickly changed the topic. "Fourth Sister, you have to be careful about Shen Yifei. Even though you have no feelings for her anymore, Uncle Wu is different. I'm afraid she will try to do something."
"I know." Wu Qingcheng's smile receded as she said. "She left me after giving birth to me. I don't have to feel for her much. Not to mention when I first saw her last year… Such a heartless woman. It's disgusting to think that I am her daughter."
"As for my father… It's hard to tell. He seems to accept the truth well recently."
"Although I'm not an expert in emotion, I can be sure Uncle Wu still loves her deeply. And if there's a tiny chance, he won't hesitate to grab it. That's why they said love can make people blind." Yun Lintian said with a soft sigh.
He looked at Wu Qingcheng and said further. "Also, watch out for Shan Jinhao. I don't know much about him, but he's definitely not ordinary. He can accept someone who already got a daughter despite being the eldest son of the Hidden Mountain God Emperor. You can imagine how patient and tolerant he is."
With Shan Jinhao's status, he could get all the women in the world, but he actually accepted this marriage and even had a son with her.
Yun Lintian also didn't believe he was deeply in love with Shen Yifei. Otherwise, Wu Liwei and Wu Qingcheng would become nothingness by now. Even the Mystic God Emperor might not be able to save them. After all, no man in the world could tolerate a former husband of his wife. Especially in this cruel world where killing is a norm.
Wu Qingcheng sighed softly and changed the topic. "I think it's time for me to go back. Do you mind having a drink with your Fourth Sister?"
Yun Lintian raised his cup and clinked with hers before bottoming it.
He put the cup down and said. "See you in a week."
Wu Qingcheng wiped the wine stain off her lips and said. "I'll be waiting for you."
As she spoke, she got up and left directly.
Yun Lintian continued to drink and eat for a while before returning to his room. After taking a seat, he poured himself two cups of tea and said calmly. "You're not going to come out?"
Suddenly, a middle-aged man clad in white appeared in the room like a ghost. His expression was as cold as ice, and his entire body exuded an icy oppression.
"As expected from his successor. Your perception is something else." The man said calmly.
Yun Lintian placed the teacup opposite him and asked. "Which one? Shen Yan's rivals? Or her father?"
The man unceremoniously sat opposite Yun Lintian and took a gulp of the tea. "Floating Cloud Spirit Tea. It reminds me of the past… Though it's still an infancy level."
Yun Lintian was slightly surprised. The tea originated from the Land of Beyond Heaven, but this man actually knew it… Who could he be?
The man poured himself another cup and drank it before saying. "It's not the time for you to know my name. I am here to prevent you from killing yourself. Let's go."
The man released his aura, forcibly pulling Yun Lintian away. However, Yun Lintian mobilized the White Tiger God's power to break free from the man's grasp, as his entire body was covered with white furs.
The man looked at Yun Lintian interestingly. "Oh. No wonder you're so confident."
Yun Lintian stared at the man and said. "I'm not leaving. You can go."
The man had a strange expression as he asked. "Do you know how powerful that Old Man Shen is? I can tell you that your White Tiger God Soul can't make a fuss in front of him."
