Chapter 2271: Familiar Name
Yun Lintian startled awake and got up from the bed. He pushed open the door and walked into the living room.Yôur favorite stories at novelhall.com
A peerless woman in white stood there, looking at him with a cold expression. She exuded an incomparable, chilling aura that seemed capable of freezing anything in the world.
With a glance, Yun Lintian could tell she was at the peak of the God Ascension Realm, a half- step away from the True God Realm. Her aura was also extremely familiar. It was, without a doubt, the aura of the Misty Cloud Divine Art.
After confirming her identity, Yun Lintian remained unhurried. He walked towards the table and sat down, calmly brewing a pot of tea.
The cold woman stared at Yun Lintian with a hint of surprise. His calm and composed temperament wasn't a pretense, which meant he wasn't afraid of her in the slightest.
"Please take a seat," Yun Lintian said and poured two cups of tea.
The woman took a deep look at Yun Lintian and took a seat opposite him.
"Do you know my purpose of coming here?" she asked.
Yun Lintian took a sip of tea and shook his head. "I don't know but it's definitely related to my mother."
"How much do you know about her?" The woman asked again.
"You tell me." Yun Lintian responded calmly.
The woman went silent for a moment. Yun Lintian's reaction was completely out of her expectation.
Her expression softened slightly as she spoke. "Your mother, Yun Wushuang, is my Senior Sister. We grew up together. Later, she was selected to be the Saintess. The duty of the Saintess is to preside over the palace. One day, she was ambushed during her trip to the Sun God Region and fell into a spatial rift."
She paused for a moment and continued. "With her injury, she was unable to return to the Holy Lands in a short time. She was also hunted down by the enemy. Later, she met your father and the two fell in love."
Yun Lintian took a sip of tea and asked. "How is she?"
The cold wind and the teacup collided midair. Under the woman's incredulous gaze, the teacup violently blasted away the gust of cold wind, completely suppressing it.
Yun Lintian waved his hand slightly, and the surrounding frost immediately melted away.
He looked at her and asked calmly, "Can you tell me now?"
The woman's body trembled slightly as she returned to her senses. The way she looked at Yun Lintian changed drastically.
"You... Who are you? You are not Senior Sister's son," she uttered in disbelief.
When Yun Liuli returned to the Misty Cloud Palace, the woman quickly questioned her about Yun Lintian's appearance and set off without delay. After learning Yun Lintian was here, she rushed over without knowing his true strength. How strong could Yun Lintian be? He grew up in a lower realm, after all.
Now, she immediately realized her misjudgment. However, she still couldn't believe this person was her Senior Sister's son. How could he become so strong at such a young age?
"I am indeed her son. Answer my questions," Yun Lintian said expressionlessly. He didn't mind the woman's outburst, as he could see she genuinely cared about his mother. Clearly, their relationship was extremely close.
"You..." The woman took a deep breath to calm down and began. "The enemy is the Sacred Flame Palace under the Sun God. Their Sacred Son, Huo Jiuming, has long coveted Senior Sister. He used several means to capture her, but it was futile."
"What about the ceremony?" Yun Lintian asked. He had already guessed one or two things.
At the same time, he couldn't help but repeat the Sacred Flame Palace name in his mind. Wasn't this the same name as the Sacred Flame Sect back in the Azure World? And they were actually enemies as well. What was going on here?
The woman pursed her lips and said, "It is what you are thinking. This grand ceremony is to announce the marriage between Senior Sister and Huo Jiuming."
Yun Lintian raised his brow slightly. "Did your master force her?"
"No," The woman shook her head. "Senior Sister proposed it herself."
"Why?" Yun Lintian frowned.
"I don't know. Only the Palace Master knows about it," the woman replied with a hint of confusion between her brows.
