Chapter 1594 The Yun Clan

Plum Blossom City, Yun Clan Manor.

The spring rain gently fell upon Plum Blossom City. It was already late at night, but the Yun Clan manor was brightly lit as today was a special day for the clan. Earlier today, they received good news from the Profound Academy that their eldest young master had been admitted with the highest score. With this alone, the future of the Yun Clan would be as bright as the sun.

In the ancestral hall, all the members of the Yun Clan were gathered in front of a tall black case. There were six layers on the case, each housing memorial tablets of the Yun Clan's ancestors. On both sides of the tablets, there was a copper incense burner with smoke rising.

"We pay respect to our ancestors. Today, our eldest son, Yun Lintian, has successfully been admitted to the Profound Academy. It's all thanks to the blessings of our ancestors." A middle-aged man, dressed in ceremonial white robes, was kneeling on the floor. His body was straight, with his hands held together and his eyes tightly shut as he prayed sincerely.

He was the current head of the Yun Clan, Yun Wuhan.

Behind him were over forty people kneeling in a similar manner as him. They wore loose white ceremonial garments and were all the clan's elders, important members, and those with high authority.

After finishing his prayers, Yun Wuhan bent at the waist, pressing his two hands against the floor as he performed a kowtow. As the forehead knocked against the floor, the sound of light thuds could be heard.

The other members behind him had also followed suit.

When the ceremony was over, everyone slowly rose from the ground and quietly exited the hall, making their way towards the dining hall. Each of them wore a happy smile on their face. They were looking forward to a bright future.

Walking beside Yun Wuhan was a handsome young man who appeared to be sixteen years old. His eyes were sharp, and there was no trace of childishness on his face. He looked more like an adult than a teenager.

"Tian'er, you must not become complacent just because you have been admitted to the academy. You must guard against arrogance and strive diligently for the best. Understand?" Yun Wuhan looked at his eldest son and said solemnly.

The young man, Yun Lintian, nodded solemnly. "I will remember it, Father."

Yun Wuhan patted his son's shoulder and smiled. "Work hard. Remember that our Yun Clan will always support you, no matter what happens in the future."

"Don't worry, Father. I will not let anyone down." Yun Lintian made a solemn vow.

"Good." Yun Wuhan nodded with satisfaction. He turned to look at the joyful people in the front and let out a soft sigh. "It would be great if your mother were here."

Yun Lintian lowered his head slightly, and a hint of sadness could be seen in his eyes. His mother died while giving birth to him. Sometimes, he even blamed himself for his mother's death.

Yun Wuhan noticed his son's mood and spoke softly. "I have told you many times that it's not your fault... Your mother must be proud of you right now."

Yun Lintian raised his head slightly and said. "I know."

Yun Wuhan didn't say anything further and walked into the dining hall.

Two hours later, Yun Lintian left the hall and returned to his private courtyard located at the rear of the manor.

He sat by the window, listening to the sound of the drizzling rain hitting softly against the roof with his eyes closed.

A strange scene slowly unfolded before his eyes, like a movie. It was the scene where he lived in a sect called the Misty Cloud Sect and was surrounded by beauties. He didn't know whether it was a dream or not, but it felt so real. It was as if he had been there before.

This scene started appearing in his mind when he was ten years old, and it would occasionally resurface whenever he closed his eyes.

Yun Lintian didn't tell anyone about this strange phenomenon. Even though he wanted to tell his father about it, there seemed to be a voice in his head preventing him from doing so. Yun Lintian struggled many times but ultimately chose to trust the voice.

Yun Lintian shook his head, opened his eyes, and sat on his bed to practice. Right now, he had already reached the fourth level of the Spirit Profound Realm, which was considered remarkably high for someone his age. Because of this, his name resounded throughout the entire city, making him the number one genius of his generation.

However, Yun Lintian was indifferent to the fame and fortune around him. He believed that these things would only bring him unnecessary trouble and nothing more. Hence, he had never been proud of it nor taken it to heart. n.o(veL(u-s-b---c.o/m

"Brother Yun, are you there?" Suddenly, a delicate female voice resounded from outside, and the door to Yun Lintian's room was gently pushed open, revealing a beautiful young girl who seemed to be the same age as Yun Lintian.

Yun Lintian opened his eyes and glanced at the newcomer, offering a faint smile. "Zhenya?"

The young woman, Xu Zhenya, looked at Yun Lintian and smiled apologetically. "I'm sorry, Brother Yun. I didn't know that you were practicing."

Yun Lintian shook his head and got up, waling to the table. "It's fine. I hadn't started it yet. Sit."

Xu Zhenya heaved a sigh of relief and sat across from Yun Lintian. She poured herself a cup of tea and raised it up. "Congratulations, Brother Yun."

She then drank it all in one gulp.

Yun Lintian laughed slightly and said. "Thank you."

Xu Zhenya and Yun Lintian had grown up together since they were young. They were considered childhood sweethearts. The relationship between the Yun Clan and the Xu Clan was extremely close, and their fathers had already discussed a marriage alliance between the two families.

Xu Zhenya was one year younger than Yun Lintian and her talent was relatively good. Although it was a bit inferior to Yun Lintian's, it was still considered high among her peers.

Xu Zhenya poured Yun Lintian a cup of tea before filling herself. "Do you have a cheat sheet for me, Brother Yun? I want to use it in the next assessment."

Yun Lintian laughed and said. "You will definitely pass the assessment with your talent."

As he finishing his sentence, he drank the tea in one go.

A strange light flashed through Xu Zhenya's eyes as she saw this scene.

When Yun Lintian put the teacup down, he suddenly felt something was wrong with his body. His eyes widened in shock as he looked at Xu Zhenya. "You...!"
