Myth Beyond Heaven

"And they are saying you chose to enter the Moonlight Hall because you are afraid of being exposed that you're incompetent." Lan Shuiying continued.

Hearing this, Yun Lintian shrugged his shoulders carelessly. "Let them say whatever they want. I won't lose a piece of skin, anyway."

"Are you going to let them trample your reputation like that?" Lan Shuiying frowned slightly.

"Reputation? Sister Lan, you should know that I never care about it. It's best to let them forget about me sooner so I can have some peace." Yun Lintian gave a light chuckle. He then turned to Qin Yiran. "Can you defeat this Wang Jue guy?"

Qin Yiran thought for a moment and replied. "I should be able to win him as long as he doesn't use his bloodline's power." 

Yun Lintian smiled faintly and asked further. "What about me? Can you defeat me?"

Qin Yiran answered in almost an instant. "I can't." 

She had witnessed Yun Lintian's battle prowess before. In her opinion, it was impossible for her to beat him.

Yun Lintian curled his lips and looked at Lan Shuiying. "Now you know he's not my opponent. Why should I bother to pay attention to someone weaker than me?"

Lan Shuiying glared at Yun Lintian and said. "I didn't know before that you are this arrogant."

"No, no. You're wrong, Sister Lan. This is called self-confident, and it's not a blind one." Yun Lintian raised his index finger and shook sideways. "The real arrogant one should be this Wang Jue. He thought that he could beat me at ease, but in fact, he is just an ignorant idiot who overestimated himself… He didn't even know the depth of my strength, yet he kept jumping out like a clown. Such a person. Do you think I should waste my time with him?"

Lan Shuiying was rendered speechless. She simply couldn't refute him and went silent.

"As for the reputation of my Moonlight Hall. It has never been good, to begin with. There's nothing for me to change it unless my master told me to do." Yun Lintian said further.

"Whatever." Lan Shuiying was annoyed by Yun Lintian's carefree attitude, but it was understandable. After all, what he said wasn't wrong. It was just that she felt uncomfortable seeing Wang Jue arrogantly taunting around. If she was strong enough, she would beat him herself by now.

Yun Lintian smiled faintly and said nothing further. He naturally understood Lan Shuiying's mood, but he really didn't care about Wang Jue. His low-level taunt hadn't affected him in the slightest. It was nothing more than wasting his time paying attention to him.

Bai Qingyi saw the atmosphere become strange. He hurriedly changed the topic. "By the way, Brother Yun. Which class do you attend?"

"Forging art class." Yun Lintian replied. "What about all of you?"

Bai Qingyi exchanged a glance with others, and he replied. "We're choosing the battle class." He paused for a second and continued. "We're preparing to challenge the Maze Forest training ground. Do you want to go with us, Brother Yun?"

Yun Lintian's brows raised slightly. Before entering the academy, he was interested in these training grounds, but now he wasn't sure whether it could benefit him by clearing them.

He thought for a moment and decided to give it a try. Perhaps he could earn something unexpectedly. "Sure. You can notify me when you're ready."

Bai Qingyi was overjoyed. His purpose in seeing Yun Lintian today was to invite him to join his group. He had mentally prepared for the rejection when he asked Yun Lintian this. Surprisingly, Yun Lintian had actually accepted his invitation.

"I'm curious. Can we challenge it as a team? I thought it's individually limited." Yun Lintian asked.

Qin Yuyan was the first to reply. "We can form a team to challenge the training ground together, but the record will be individual."

"I see." Yun Lintian nodded his head slowly. He looked at everyone and said. "Well, I will leave first. Later."

Following that, Yun Lintian left the Starry Mountain and headed back to Moonlight Peak right away.

***

"What a frightening lightning power." After Yun Lintian left the Moonlight Peak, Han Bingling and Lin Zixuan discussed the previous battle between Yun Lintian and Long Feiyan. They were amazed by Yun Lintian's overwhelming lightning power, and they believed it was even scarier than the Divine Thunder Art of the Divine Thunder Palace.

"That tiger…" Lin Zixuan looked at Han Bingling with doubt. This was the first time she saw Linlin showing her might.

Han Bingling didn't answer directly but instead told Lin Zixuan about the Thunder Valley incident.

After listening to Han Bingling's narration, Lin Zixuan immediately figured out Linlin's possible true identity. It clearly caught her off guard as she didn't expect the legendary Divine Beast to stay near her for all this time.

"As expected from someone with Emperor Destiny. His luck is going against the sky." Lin Zixuan sighed in amazement.

"Indeed." Han Bingling nodded her head in agreement. "We need to cover him as much as we can. I reckon so many people have already set their eyes on him."

Lin Zixuan didn't say a word, but a flash of purple light in her eyes expressed everything.

"Master, I have something to report." At this moment, Murong Xue walked into the bamboo hut. 

"What is it?" Lin Zixuan asked.

"Wang Jue is now slandering junior brother everywhere. Blame fourth sister for this. She's trying to push junior brother to the center of attention by sending out the challenge letter without his consent." Murong Xue explained.

Lin Zixuan didn't have any reaction. She merely responded with a light hum and said. "Since it's his problem, then let him solve it by himself."

Murong Xue was slightly surprised by Lin Zixuan's answer. Usually, her master would protect her sisters or at least show her concern, but Lin Zixuan's current reaction was entirely different from her expectation.

Sorry, junior brother. Looks like your second sister can't help you with this. Hehe.. Murong Xue snickered in her heart and was looking forward to seeing how Yun Lintian would solve this problem.
