Chapter 2272: Unexpected News
Chapter 2272: Unexpected News
Yun Lintian fell into silence, his brow furrowed. Was his mother trying to sacrifice herself for the Misty Cloud Palace? But why?
He didn't doubt her loyalty to his father. It was obvious that there was a deeper secret behind the current situation. Perhaps Huo Jiuming threatened her about him and his father?
Several possibilities popped up in Yun Lintian's mind. However, he knew that he must visit the Misty Cloud Palace to find out. It was useless to speculate here with the little information he had.
"What is your name? And what is your relationship with her?" Yun Lintian asked.
The woman was irritated by Yun Lintian's unbothered demeanor, but she knew it wasn't the time to make a fuss. She answered, "I'm Yun Mengxue. As I told you before, I grew up with Senior Sister. We're like biological sisters."
"I see. Can you guess her purpose in doing this?" Yun Lintian asked further.
Yun Mengxue frowned and said, "It must be related to the Palace Master's trip to the Sun God Region a few months ago. Because when she returned, Senior Sister immediately proposed the marriage... My status in the palace isn't high, I don't know what's going on behind the scenes."
"Your Palace Master. Is it the one named Yun Xue?" Yun Lintian asked.
Yun Mengxue's expression turned serious. "Remember. Do not call her name out again." "Tell me more about the Sacred Flame Palace," Yun Lintian changed the topic.
"The Sacred Flame Palace is the number one faction under the Sun God. Their Palace Master is the ancestor of Huo Jiuming. In the past, the relationship between the Sun God and the Moon God was not bad, but also not close. However, it has been gradually deteriorating over the years for no apparent reason," Yun Mengxue explained briefly.
She looked at Yun Lintian suspiciously. "Why do you ask this? Don't tell me you are going to cause trouble for them? Please stop. You will only send yourself to death."
Yun Lintian looked at her with a strange expression. He finally understood why Yun Mengxue's status wasn't high. It was simply because of her innocent character.
Yun Lintian ignored her statement and said, "Can you bring me there? I want to see her."
"No," Yun Mengxue quickly shook her head. "You will die. I don't want to see Senior Sister sad."
"Why do you think I will die?" Yun Lintian asked curiously.
"The Palace Master... She... She doesn't like you or your father. She wanted to kill both of you but gave up under Senior Sister's plea. She is aware of your arrival as she sent people to monitor you recently," Yun Mengxue replied hesitantly.
Yun Lintian's eyes flickered slightly. He suddenly thought of the group of women he saw back in the Great Wilderness Realm. At that time, he didn't pay much attention to them. It turned out they were Misty Cloud Palace disciples.
"You don't have to worry about me. Just tell me, do you have the ability to bring me there?" Yun Lintian said calmly.
"You... Why are you so stubborn?" Yun Mengxue stomped her foot angrily.
Yun Lintian looked at her and sighed inwardly. Who would have thought the childish-looking woman in front of him was a God Ascension Realm powerhouse? It was really strange.
Yun Mengxue calmed down and snorted angrily. "Hmph! Since you want to die, I will bring you there."
"Many thanks," Yun Lintian cupped his fists.
"But first, I need to inform Senior Sister. You wait here," Yun Mengxue finished her sentence and disappeared from the place without waiting for Yun Lintian to react.
Yun Lintian shook his head with a wry smile. What was the point of telling his mother about this? She would definitely not allow him to go there.
Yun Lintian took a deep breath and pondered the situation. It would be a lie if he didn't feel anything. His mother had always been a mysterious person in his two lifetimes. And now, he was about to face her. Yun Lintian had no idea how he should feel. Worry? Happy? Or excited?
"Phew..." Yun Lintian let out a long breath. What was destined to happen would eventually happen. He simply stopped worrying about it.
What he should be concerned about was the so-called Sacred Flame Palace Sacred Son. Since this person dared to covet his mother, he shouldn't blame him for being ruthless.
Yun Lintian didn't care whether his actions would bring harm to the Misty Cloud Palace. Initially, he had a good feeling for them since he had a deep relationship with the Misty Cloud Sect back in his world. Now, their Palace Master seemed very hostile and treated his mother poorly. All the good feelings were gone just like that.

"Senior Sister, Senior Sister!"
Yun Mengxue returned to the Misty Cloud Palace and rushed to the Thousand Snows Peak where Yun Wushuang resided.
As she rushed into a dilapidated hut, a beautiful woman slowly raised her head to look at her. Her eyes, the color of deep sapphires, seemed to have lost their luster, and her face was haggard, a result of years of hardship.
Naturally, she was Yun Lintian's biological mother, Yun Wushuang.
Yun Wushuang smiled and said gently, "You've already grown so old. Why are you still acting like a young girl?"
Yun Mengxue stuck out her tongue and laughed slightly.
She quickly sat down beside Yun Wushuang and said, "Senior Sister, guess who I met earlier?"
"Hmm? Who is it?" Yun Wushuang asked curiously. Obviously, she knew nothing about Yun Lintian's situation.
Yun Mengxue curled her lips and said, "It's Yun Lintian."
Yun Wushuang's expression froze, and her body trembled slightly.
"Surprised, surprised?" Yun Mengxue covered her mouth and giggled. "Seriously, he's stronger than I thought. I really don't know how he has grown so powerful in the lower realm."
Yun Wushuang didn't seem to hear. Her mind drifted back to the scene when she gave birth to Yun Lintian. Even though several years had passed, she still remembered his scent and how soft his little body was.
In order to protect the father and son, she decisively erased her trace from the Great Wilderness Realm and returned to the Misty Cloud Palace. It was because she knew Huo Jiuming wouldn't give up, and neither would her master.
When she left, Yun Lintian was only four months old. He couldn't even remember anything. She purposely did that because it was better for him to completely forget about her. Even if he couldn't become a powerful cultivator, she was certain he would live a happy life for the rest
of his life.
And now... He was here.
