Chapter 1968 Discovery

Li Zong replied honestly, "To tell the truth, I didn't know much about him. He vanished mysteriously after contacting the government and showing us a dimensional stone. Considering your abilities, I believe he must have been a cultivator just like you."

Li Zong, of course, had discovered Yu Wuhan's identity after investigating Yun Lintian's background.

"Why not investigate it yourself?" Li Zong suggested. "With your strength, finding out shouldn't be difficult."

"I was curious if there was any information you might have that I don't," Yun Lintian explained.

"Since I was already retired when your father contacted the government, my knowledge is limited," Li Zong said gently. "Would you like me to look into it for you?"

Yun Lintian shook his head. "It's alright, Grandpa Li. If he truly is a cultivator, I doubt he left anything behind."

Li Zong nodded in agreement.New novel chapters are published on

He sipped his tea and said, "Originally, I planned to discuss the Hell Church and Project Eve with you, but it seems unnecessary now."

Li Zong realized Yun Lintian would undoubtedly eliminate the Hell Church soon, making further discussion pointless.

"Project Eve isn't a good path," Yun Lintian stated calmly. "While I originally planned to destroy it, I needed it as a bargaining chip to ensure Ah'Hao's safety."

The fate of Project Eve held little importance to Yun Lintian. The country's intentions for its use weren't his concern. Hence, he ultimately kept it as a bargaining chip.

Li Zong's expression turned serious. "Unfortunately, it's a path we must take. Our adversaries embarked on such a project a long time ago. We are too far behind."

Yun Lintian remained silent on the matter.

He conjured a bag of spirit tea onto the table. "This is a gift, Grandpa Li. Take your time enjoying them."

Li Zong accepted it without hesitation. "Thank you."

"I must take my leave first, Grandpa Li. I'll visit again if I have the chance." Yun Lintian gathered Linlin and Qingqing, preparing to depart.

"Very well." Li Zong rose and escorted Yun Lintian out of the villa.

After Yun Lintian's departure, Ren Jie approached and bowed respectfully. "Sir?"

"Prepare the plane for Beijing. We're leaving," Li Zong instructed before heading back inside.

Ren Jie was momentarily stunned before swiftly relaying orders to his subordinates.

Leaving Li Zong's villa, Yun Lintian wandered the streets for a while before returning to his residence. Upon entering the living room, he froze in surprise at the sight of Long Qingxuan.

She looked at Yun Lintian pointedly. "Why the delay? Shouldn't you bring her here as well?"

Long Qingxuan remained silent, her gaze fixed on Yun Lintian, silently seeking an explanation.

Yun Lintian didn't know how to respond at the moment.

"You're overthinking it," Lynn reassured him. "Sister Ningchang and I only have one desire: to see you again. We suffer the consequences of our own choices, not yours."

Yun Lintian said nothing. The truth was, he couldn't explain his initial reluctance to face Lynn and Yang Ningchang. He felt a crushing sense of guilt and shame for letting them down.

"Chat, check out my villa!" Nantian Fengyu announced, walking into the living room, engrossed in talking with her audience.

Spotting Yun Lintian, she didn't miss a beat, panning her camera towards him. "Say hello to the camera, junior brother!"

Yun Lintian, speechless, found himself unable to refuse. With a resigned wave, he greeted the viewers, "Hello, everyone."

A flurry of comments flooded the chat.

[Wow! So handsome!]

[I have found my husband!]

Nantian Fengyu, a mischievous glint in her eyes, scanned the messages. "Hold on a second, everyone. My handsome junior brother is already taken! Look at this beautiful lady right here," she declared, panning the camera to Lynn.

"Hi," Lynn offered a gentle wave.

[What a beautiful lady.]

[But I think Sister Phoenix is better.]

"See? My gorgeous sister-in-law puts you all to shame," Nantian Fengyu chuckled, clearly enjoying the attention.

Yun Lintian could only shake his head in helpless amusement.

"Report, sir!" A middle-aged man hurried into a room somewhere in Beijing.

Bowing respectfully, he presented a tablet to the old man seated behind a desk. "Please take a look at this, sir."

The old man furrowed his brow slightly as he accepted the tablet. A video flickered to life on the screen.

"Yun Lintian?"
