Chapter 920: Chapter 917: Night Talk on the Mountaintop

"Master, my freedom lies in following you. When I was a child, if not for you taking me in, I would have starved to death somewhere. You gave me a second life, raised me, and named me Yun Wu. Xiao Wu cannot be an ungrateful person," the middle-aged man said resolutely.

"Alright, alright, you’re good in every way except being too stubborn," Mr. Yun shook his head, looking very helpless. After thinking for a moment, he continued, "It’s fine if you don’t leave me, but I have to arrange a marriage for you. A man who grows up should settle down and start a family; you can’t be alone forever, can you?"

At the mention of marriage, Yun Wu shook his head like a rattle, looking very unwilling as if scared of women. He said reluctantly, "Master, women are too troublesome; I don’t want any woman."

"Xiao Wu, are you being muddle-headed? Without a woman, how will you marry and have children? Among the three unfilial actions, not having descendants is the greatest. Given my age, I could easily be your father. Your father is not around, so this falls to me, no discussion, understand?" Mr. Yun deliberately put on a stern face, as if educating his son.

Yun Wu had no choice but to nod, his face looking as bitter as a bitter melon.

At this time, Lin Tian had already reached outside the door; as soon as he left, the door closed. Behind the door was the forbidden land of the Yun Family, where Mr. Yun and the Yun Family’s sea spring are located. Both are the lifeblood of the Yun Family, not everyone can go up there.

Lin Tian was intending to return to Yunxiang Inn but inadvertently saw Yuntian Residence in the distance, its study on the second floor still lit. In the study window, there was a graceful silhouette absorbed in reading a book.

Wasn’t Aunt Wang asleep yet? It seems she also has a habit of reading at night, Lin Tian thought to himself. Xiao Manxue enjoys practicing martial arts at night, while Wang Wanxi prefers reading. It appears that outstanding women aren’t born predestined; they have talent, but they work harder than ordinary people.

Lin Tian sighed and was about to turn away but saw the study window open. Wang Wanxi leaned on the window, looking at Lin Tian.

The spiritual sense of an Ancient Martial Artist is indeed keen, Lin Tian silently praised, but he was in an open area, and Wang Wanxi was elevated, making it not difficult to spot him.

Suddenly, Lin Tian remembered several questions he wanted to ask Mr. Yun, stirred in his heart, glanced at Wang Wanxi, and then sprinted toward the mountaintop.

His speed was extremely fast; in a turn, he was already more than ten meters away, moving so swiftly under the faint moonlight that even the shadow could not be seen. In the study, Wang Wanxi’s eyes brightened, and she leapt out of the window without hesitation, in one motion jumping from the second floor to the ground soundlessly, chasing after Lin Tian’s shadow.

The two raced one after another, bypassing the Yun Family’s forbidden area toward the mountaintop. The mountain was not steep, and soon they reached the top.

Beyond the mountaintop was a steep cliff, below which was a river encircling the peak. The river’s surface was calm, but the current beneath was swift. Looking across the river, the tall buildings of Jinghua City stood in the distance, surrounded by colored lights, dressing the entire city as an eternal night city.

Lin Tian had seen the similarly sleepless city of Japan Kyoto City. Both cities were equally prosperous, but Jinghua City’s layout was grand and majestic, accentuated by its thick historical ambiance, showcasing the Emperor’s Energy vividly, while Japan’s Kyoto City seemed a bit petty.

This might be due to Japan being a small island nation, while Huaxia is the Heavenly Country. On the scale, Japanese architects have already lost in imagination.

Lin Tian and Wang Wanxi stood at the edge of the cliff, watching the wind. Wang Wanxi’s skirt danced with the night wind, like a Fairy wishing to soar.

"Since Yun Tian went missing, I rarely come up to the mountaintop. After so many years, with the shifting times, Jinghua City has become even more magnificent," Wang Wanxi softly lamented.

She sighed, her gaze returning from afar, turning to Lin Tian and asking, "How much speed did you just exert?"

"I don’t know, maybe thirty percent, maybe forty percent, because I don’t know my limit either," Lin Tian answered honestly.

"You came from Mr. Yun, still having some unresolved questions. Do you need me to answer them?" Wang Wanxi did not dwell on the speed question and continued to ask.

Lin Tian looked at her in surprise; this Xiao Tian’s mother is too smart, guessing right away. Indeed, she was a gifted person.

Lin Tian nodded and said, "I asked Mr. Yun three questions: first, why the attackers targeted the Yun Family; second, how the attackers succeeded despite Yun Family’s defense; and third, why you could recover from injuries inflicted by the attackers, but Mr. Yun could not."

"If I’m not mistaken, Mr. Yun only answered your last two questions. He doesn’t know the first one, which is exactly your point of confusion," Wang Wanxi said affirmatively.

"Precisely," Lin Tian said, chatting with Wang Wanxi was indeed relaxing; smart people understand what you’re curious about.

"There’s nothing much to say about the last two questions. My answers are the same as Mr. Yun’s. As for the first question... I do know," Wang Wanxi paused, seemingly teasing Lin Tian before affirming.

"Aunt Wang, couldn’t you just say it continuously, the suspense is killing me," Lin Tian joked.

Wang Wanxi shook her head slightly, saying, "I hesitated for two seconds earlier about whether to tell you. But since I’ve admitted I know, I’ve decided to tell you."

"Talking to Aunt Wang is really relaxing, as if she knows what I’m thinking," Lin Tian flattered, pausing with some curiosity, "However, why not tell Mr. Yun since you know?"

"The reason is simple, because this thing involves the Ancient Martial World, and Mr. Yun is not part of the Ancient Martial World," Wang Wanxi explained briefly.

"Even if Mr. Yun isn’t part of the Ancient Martial World, isn’t Yun Tian his grandson? Doesn’t he have the right to know?" Lin Tian couldn’t understand. Is Ancient Martial World’s rule so complex?

"It’s not a question of rights. Even if Mr. Yun knew, he could do nothing," Wang Wanxi remained adamant.

Given Mr. Yun’s status and wealth, he couldn’t do anything? Lin Tian didn’t understand, he said, "But..."

"Stop with the buts, just listen carefully. Once you’ve heard everything, you’ll understand what’s going on," Wang Wanxi asserted.

"Alright, let’s hear it," Lin Tian said helplessly.

Wang Wanxi’s gaze returned to the distant skyscrapers; her thoughts seemed to have gone back to that time. After a while, she softly said, "The attackers infiltrated Xinghai Hospital and abducted Yun Tian, and it was a conspiracy, a mind-blowing conspiracy."
