Myth Beyond Heaven

Evergreen Town was located a few hundred kilometers away from the Skymist Ancient City. Because of its picturesque location, surrounded by mountains and forests, the town had become one of the most popular towns on the Southern Continent.

At this moment, Yun Lintian, Guchang, Fan, and Mu Qiuxue were walking along a bustling street, looking for a place to settle down.

The scale of the town was quite large. It could even be treated as a city. Several stores and restaurants could be seen everywhere, and all of them were almost fully occupied.

“So many people,” Fan exclaimed as he looked around with great interest. As someone who had lived in a remote village for his entire life, he was excited to see such a bustling atmosphere.

“Excuse me, Sir. Are you looking for a place to stay?”

Just as everyone looked around, they suddenly heard a crisp voice of a young girl from behind.

Yun Lintian’s group turned around and saw a ten or eleven-year-old girl standing there, looking at them with a polite smile. Her eyes were filled with expectation as she stared at everyone.

The girl was dressed in an old but clean robe, indicating her financial situation wasn’t good.

Yun Lintian smiled and responded. “Yes. We’re indeed looking for a place to stay.”

The girl’s eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said. “I can recommend a place for you, Sir. Are you interested?… Don’t worry. The place may look old, but it’s absolutely clean, and the price is really low. Twenty silver a night.”

Just as Yun Lintian was about to reply, a fifteen-year-old boy suddenly walked up and said with a sneer. “Are you trying to deceive people again, Tang Huifang?”

The little girl, Tang Huifang, turned around and glared at the boy angrily. “What are you talking about, Jia Qiu!? I’m not trying to deceive anyone!”

“Hmph! Everyone here knows how dilapidated your inn is. You’re still quibbling about it?” The boy, Jia Qiu, snorted and ignored Tang Huifang. He turned to Yun Lintian and said. “Dear brothers and sisters, please come to my Jia Inn. Although my place is not the most luxurious inn here, I can guarantee it will be a hundred times better than her place. The price is also reasonable. It’s only fifty silver a night.”

“You!” Tang Huifang was furious to the point she didn’t know what to say.

“You what? Go away! No one here will choose to stay in your ghostly place unless they have problems with their brains.” Jia Qiu said disdainfully. 𝐨𝘃𝗹.

Tang Huifang gnashed her teeth in anger, but she couldn’t refute it. After all, her inn was indeed a bit dilapidated.

A moment later, she sighed and turned to Yun Lintian. “He’s right, Sir. My place is not suitable for noble ones like you. I am sorry for wasting your time.”

As she said that, she turned around and prepared to leave.

“Wait. I haven’t made a decision yet. Why are you leaving?” Yun Lintian stopped Tang Huifang.

She turned around to look at Yun Lintian in confusion. “What do you mean, Sir?”

Yun Lintian smiled and said. “What I mean is, I am going to stay in your place. How about you lead the way?”

Both Tang Huifang and Jia Qiu were stunned. They couldn’t believe what they had just heard.

“Sir, you mean….?” Tang Huifang couldn’t help asking again in case she heard it wrong.

“Come on. Don’t you want us to stay in your inn? Let’s go.” Yun Lintian chuckled at Tang Huifang’s cute appearance.

“Ah!? Y-yes! This way, please!” Tang Huifang was overjoyed and quickly spread her tiny arm, inviting Yun Lintian’s group.

Standing on the side, Jia Qiu couldn’t help interjecting. “Dear brothers and sisters, you might not know this. Her place is one of the town’s oldest and least popular inns. Their food is also one of the worst. I suggest you consider it carefully before making a decision.”

He paused for a moment and continued. “Besides my place, there are plenty of inns out there with several times better condition. You can choose one of them instead of going to such a shabby place.”

Hearing this, Tang Huifang immediately woke up from the ecstasy state. She bit her lips and looked at Yun Lintian anxiously. She didn’t know whether Yun Lintian just wanted to help her out or genuinely wanted to go to her inn.

“Hey, little boy. My Brother Yun has already stated that he chose this little sister’s inn. Why are you still saying this?” Fan said in dissatisfaction. He felt this Jia Qiu was too nosy.

Jia Qiu glanced at Fan and shrugged his shoulders. “Of course, it’s your right to choose wherever you want to stay. I’m just stating the truth here.”

Yun Lintian looked at Jia Qiu curiously. He could see that this guy definitely had something to rely on. Otherwise, he wouldn’t dare to talk like this in front of his group.

He chuckled and said. “I thank this little brother for the information. However, we’re still choosing her inn to stay.” He turned to Tang Huifang. “Let’s go.”

“Ah? Oh. This way, Sir.” Tang Huifang jolted awake and hurriedly led Yun Lintian away.

“Crazy! Wait until you see her ghostly place first. All of you will regret it.” Watching Yun Lintian’s group leave, Jiu Qiu couldn’t help cursing in a low voice.

Under Tang Huifang’s guidance, Yun Lintian’s group finally arrived at an old-looking building situated in a relatively remote place. It could be considered the outermost ring of the town.

A dilapidated signboard with the words “Tang Inn” engraved on it could be seen in front of the building. Without a doubt, this place was Tang Huifang’s inn.

“No wonder that Jia Qiu said this place is a ghostly place.” Fan subconsciously muttered.

Tang Huifang’s face turned red in embarrassment upon hearing this.

Pa!

Guchang slapped Fan’s head and scolded him. “Watch your mouth!”

Fan rubbed his head painfully and hurriedly said. “I’m sorry, little sister.”

Tang Huifang waved her hand. “It’s okay, Sir. My place is indeed like Jia Qiu said. I’m sorry. You can change the place if you want.”

“Why should we change it? We don’t like a bustling sound, and this place is perfect for us.” Yun Lintian smiled. “Let’s go in.”

“Yes!” Tang Huifang nodded heavily and quickly brought everyone into the building.
