Chapter 771 Four Renowned Geniuses
“Divine rank treasures?” Yun Lintian’s brows raised slightly.
Jun Rumeng thought that Yun Lintian was tempted. She smirked. “How about it? Do you want to go now?”
Unexpectedly, Yun Lintian shook his head. “I don’t care about those useless things. Why should I go?”
“You…You called Divine-rank treasures useless things? Aren’t you too arrogant?” Jun Rumeng looked at Yun Lintian in disbelief.
Yun Lintian shrugged without saying a word. Although they could aid everyone in the Land of Beyond Heaven in practice, he didn’t think it was necessary to go at the moment. After all, his schedule was extremely tight.
“You should go.” Hongyue’s voice suddenly resounded.
“Why?” Yun Lintian frowned.
“I had a hunch you will earn big from this trip,” Hongyue said leisurely.
The frown between Yun Lintian’s brows grew deeper upon hearing this. He could see Hongyue hiding something from him.
“Why are you frowning hard? Have you changed your mind?” Jun Rumeng sneered… Hmph! In the end, you are greedy, too.
Yun Lintian nodded. “Well, I indeed changed my mind.” He glanced at Jun Rumeng and asked. “Are you going?”
“Mhm. That’s another reason I came here. Why don’t we team up? You know, you’ve offended Tong Liya by rejecting her invitation. There must be many idiots trying to curry her favor. And you could become their target.” Jun Rumeng smiled slyly.
“Good point, but no need. I can handle them myself.” Yun Lintian chuckled.
“Hey, why are you so arrogant? Tell me, how did you fool Young Miss Murong? I don’t believe she would treat a person like you this well. It’s not aligned with her personality at all.” Jun Rumeng snorted in dissatisfaction.
Yun Lintian smiled and said nothing.
“Forget it. See you later next week.” Jun Rumeng stood up and left. However, she didn’t forget to take the teakettle away.
Yun Lintian watched her leave with a thoughtful expression. A moment later, he called Mu Qiuxue and told her about his plan.
“That’s it. You can return to the skyship first or stay here during this period.” Yun Lintian said.
Mu Qiuxue thought for a moment and asked. “Why did you change your mind?”
Yun Lintian replied casually. “I need resources.”
Mu Qiuxue obviously didn’t believe it, but she didn’t insist on this topic further. “I will stay here.”
“Alright.” Yun Lintian didn’t worry about her. He gave her a lot of resources, and she could certainly survive in this city with no problem.
***
While Yun Lintian was resting, in Tong Liya’s private room, four young people were sitting around a table, appearing to be discussing something.
Aside from Tong Liya and Wen Zishan, there were a young man and woman exuded extraordinary temperament, no less than the former two.
“Saintess Tong, I heard you’ve been rejected by an unknown young man. I wonder who this person is?” A bulky man in a brown robe said with a broad smile. His name was Situ Yuanzhi, the eldest son of the current Great Earth Sect Master.
“What’s there to ask, Young Master Situ? Are you going to vent anger for Sister Tong?” A young girl with a relatively lively temperament said with a playful smile. She was the successor of the Driftsnow Pavilion, Xue Lou’er.
Underneath the veil, a faint smile appeared on Tong Liya’s face as she responded. “Everything is my fault. I should be more careful.”
“Why are you so kind, Sister Tong? I would have slapped him left and right a long time ago if it was me.” Xue Lou’er laughed.
“I’m afraid you would be the one to get slapped instead.” Wen Zishan chuckled.
“Oh? It seems Brother Wen knows something?” Situ Yuanzhi’s eyes turned sharp.
Wen Zishan calmly sipped a tea and replied. “I advise you to get rid of your idea. Don’t say later that I didn’t warn you.” .
The atmosphere became strange all of a sudden. The tension between Wen Zishan and Situ Yuanzhi seemed to grow intense.
On the Southern Continent, everyone knew about their rivalry. One was a genius sword practitioner, while another was a well-known battle maniac. In the past, they had fought each other several times but ended up with a draw. That was why they would look for a fight every time they met.
Xue Lou’er looked at them with great enthusiasm. She always loved to see them fighting with each other.
Seeing this, Tong Liya said softly. “Young Master Wen is right. He’s not an ordinary person. It’s better to make friends than become an enemy with him.”
“The more both of you speak highly about him, the more I want to try. If there’s such a person, why did I never hear about him before?” Situ Yuanzhi raised a question.
Xue Lou’er quickly chimed in. “Obviously, he’s coming from the other continents… But even if he came from the Central Continent, I don’t think Sister Tong and Brother Wen would give him this high evaluation. I’m starting curious about him now.”
Everyone here was a talented individual on their own. They went to the Central Continent from time to time to compare with those Central Continent’s geniuses, and the result was quite satisfactory. They didn’t think their talents were inferior to theirs. Hence, Xue Lou’er and Situ Yuanzhi were extremely curious about Yun Lintian for getting a high evaluation from Tong Liya and Wen Zishan.
Wen Zishan remained silent. Earlier, he tried to recall about the Misty Cloud Sect, but he was sure that he had never heard this name before. He planned to ask his Master about this when he went back.
As for Tong Liya, her evaluation of Yun Lintian was purely based on her intuition. Her Plum Mountain Sutra was aimed to cultivate heart and soul, and her perception was far stronger than ordinary people.
When she saw Yun Lintian for the first time, her tranquil heart was disturbed as she felt a horrible threat coming from him that she had never felt before. Her intuition told her that she would die miserably if she went against this person.
“Let’s not talk about him.” Tong Liya said softly. “My Plum Mountain Sect will send out ten exceptionally talented disciples. What about everyone?”
