"How many times have they attacked us during my absence?" Yun Lintian asked.
"This is the third time," Yun Huanxin replied. "It's a lot lesser compared to the Central Continent."
"Have you ever found their base?" Yun Lintian asked further.
"I have been investigating, but nothing can be found so far. It's like they have a secret channel to send their troops over." Yun Huanxin said with a frown.
Yun Lintian glanced at the profound beasts below and expressed his opinion. "These beasts are nothing but ordinary soldiers. I don't think they have ever sent their main force over. Obviously, their goal is just keeping us busy here."
He paused briefly and said. "I think it's time for us to take the initiative to attack."
Yun Huanxin was surprised to hear this. Usually, Yun Lintian would be very cautious when he did things and rarely took a risk. Why did he suddenly want to let everyone plunge into the Endless Sea?
Yun Lintian waved his hand and said. "Let's go back first. We will talk with everyone and make a decision again."
Yun Huanxin nodded and shouted to Fu Tianya. "I'll leave this place to you."
Fu Tianya raised his head to look at her and then at Yun Lintian. A trace of astonishment could be seen in his eyes as he noticed Yun Lintian's strength. The last time they met, Yun Lintian was only at the Origin Profound Realm and could barely face Lei Jun... What kind of monstrous progress speed was this?
He came back to his sense and quickly said. "No problem, Elder Yun."
Yun Huanxin nodded and controlled the skyship toward the Moon Garden under Fu Tianya's gaze.
***
The inland area was calm and peaceful compared to the coastal region as if the continent had never faced any profound beast tide.
Along the way toward the Moon Garden, Yun Lintian saw many villages, towns, and cities become more prosperous than the last time. It was even several times better than the past before the first round of invasion.
Moreover, Yun Lintian didn't see any bandit camps so far, which meant the livelihood of the people on this continent had reached an extremely high level that they were no longer interested in becoming a bandit anymore.
Soon, the Moon Garden appeared in Yun Lintian's line of sight. At this moment, Yun Qianxue and Han Bingling had already been waiting in the distance. When they saw the skyship approach, they quickly rushed over and landed on it.
"Sorry for making you worried." Yun Lintian said apologetically. He knew that they should be very anxious during his absence.
"Welcome back." Han Bingling said softly, looking at her man, who seemed to grow taller with affection.
On the side, Yun Qianxue didn't say anything, but her smile said it all. The worries in her heart completely disappeared at this moment.
Yun Lintian gave them a light hug and asked. "How's the situation? Has everyone settled?"
Han Bingling replied. "The Shen Clan has already settled down in the divine city, and because of them, the city has expanded again. At the same time, the Divine Phoenix Palace has sent people over to live here, preparing for the worst scenario."
Yun Lintian was surprised and hurriedly asked. "How's the situation over there?"
"Although a few Divine Ascending Tribulation Realm beasts had appeared, they were forced back by Senior Nantian herself. And with Lord Divine Phoenix standing behind, there should be no problem." Han Bingling explained.
"As for the Eastern Continent. Surprisingly, their situation is similar to ours. It seems the Poison Valley doesn't focus on them much."
"I see." Yun Lintian nodded slightly. Looked like there was no major event happening during his absence.
Soon, the skyship landed on the Moon Garden, and Yun Lintian asked while walking down. "Where's Xinyao?"
Yun Qianxue and Han Bingling were surprised to hear him call Lin Xinyao by her name. They glanced at each other, seemingly knowing what was going on.
"She should be nearby the waterfall at this moment." Han Bingling replied softly.
Yun Lintian grabbed her arm and said gently. "Sorry. I know that I have been away for a long time. I will make up for you later. I really have something important to talk to her about."
Han Bingling curled her lips and said. "Go. I'm not a clingy little girl. There's no need to worry about me."
Yun Lintian was taken aback and asked suspiciously. "Are you perhaps knowing something?"
Han Bingling patted his arm and said. "I don't know what's going on between you two, but I believe that she treats you as the most important person in her life. Even I, her master, cannot be compared."
Yun Lintian took a deep look at her and said. "I'll explain about it later."
Han Bingling nodded and waved her hand. "Go."
Yun Lintian didn't say anything and quickly walked toward the waterfall behind his residence.
"It seems he finally realizes it." Han Bingling said.
Standing on the side, Yun Qianxue stared at Yun Lintian's disappearing back with a trace of longings in the depths of her eyes.
***
Yun Lintian impatiently walked toward the waterfall. With each step he took, his heartbeat was beating even faster. Countless scenes in the past kept replaying in his mind. His emotion and longings could not be controlled anymore.
Soon, he saw a beautiful figure sitting in the pavilion, looking at the waterfall in a daze. Warm sunlight reflected on her face, making her incomparably beautiful face even more radiant. It was a breathtaking scene that almost took Yun Lintian's soul away.
Although Lin Xinyao's appearance wasn't the same as the Xia Yao he knew, Yun Lintian could perceive the same feeling from her. It was something he had overlooked in the past.
Tat!
Lin Xinyao heard a sound from behind and turned to look over. Her eyes froze briefly upon seeing it was Yun Lintian before relaxing.
"You are back." She said softly.
Yun Lintian seemed to be spellbound by a simple sentence from her. However, his step didn't slow down in the slightest as he walked into the pavilion.
Lin Xinyao was startled by Yun Lintian's action and got up from her seat.
However, Yun Lintian had already pulled her into his arms before she could say anything, causing her body to stiffen.
"Yaoyao... Are you my Yaoyao?" Yun Lintian's choking voice resounded in Lin Xinyao's mind, making her eyes widen in shock.
