The meal went for two hours before everyone dispersed. Yun Lintian was a bit tipsy after taking so many cups of Over The Moon. When he returned to the inn, Yun Qianxue happened to come out of her room and saw him.
"Where did you go? Why are you drunk ?" Yun Qianxue asked concernedly. She had been with Yun Lintian since he was an infant. This was her first time seeing Yun Lintian indulged in wine. Although she wasn't his mother anymore, she was still concerned about whether he would become a drunkard in the future.
Yun Lintian smiled and suddenly hugged Yun Qianxue.
Yun Qianxue was taken aback. Her body stiffened for a moment before relaxing. She patted his back and nagged like an old mother. "You should drink less next time or bringing me with you.. Understand?"
Yun Lintian gave a light hum and fell asleep. In fact, he wasn't drunk at all, but he needed to sleep in order to recover faster.
Yun Qianxue found that Yun Lintian had fallen asleep. She gently brought him to the room and put him on the bed.
It was at this moment; she noticed the injuries on Yun Lintian's body. Her brows involuntarily creased together while she was carefully checking on him. Upon seeing his injuries were recovered by more than eighty percent, Yun Qianxue relaxed and left the room. She was going to ask Yun Meilan to check out how did Yun Lintian get injured.
The moment she stepped into the room, she was surprised to see Han Bingling sat calmly on a chair and looked at her with a smile.
"Shall we have a friendly talk?" Han Bingling motioned Yun Qianxue to sit down.
Yun Qianxue walked toward Han Bingling calmly and sat opposite her. "What do you want?" She asked.
Han Bingling curled her lips. "I don't understand why you have to guard against me? I am willing to offend a behemoth clan like the Lin clan in order to protect him. Isn't my action sincere enough?"
Yun Qianxue simply gave a light smile. "Do you think so?"
The atmosphere gradually turned solemn as the two stared at each other, as though they tried to pry into each other's minds. It was until ten minutes later, Han Bingling gave up and sighed helplessly. "Alright, I indeed have a motive. However, I never take advantage of him. Everything is on mutual benefits."
Seeing Yun Qianxue still silent, Han Bingling leaned against the chair and asked. "Aren't you too boring? No wonder he doesn't take you down until now."
Yun Qianxue's brows raised slightly. "That is not your concern."
Han Bingling ignored Yun Qianxue's words and continued. "Are you concerning about your previous status? In fact, you don't have to care about it at all. You are not his real mother. There's no blood relationship between both of you."
Yun Qianxue's eyes turned cold but said nothing. Truthfully, what Han Bingling said wasn't wrong in the slightest. She was indeed concerned about this issue. Although she didn't think it was immoral, she didn't know whether Yun Lintian would think so. Hence, the relationship between him and her was moving nowhere until now. And this also made her rarely tease Yun Lintian like she used to do in the past.
Han Bingling seemed to see through Yun Qianxue's thoughts. She added. "I'll tell you. In my opinion, Yun Lintian definitely has a thought on you, but his respect toward you prevents him from moving forward. After all, you have raised him up."
Yun Qianxue put her thoughts aside and asked coldly. "Why are you here?"
Han Bingling pursed her lips as she felt Yun Qianxue was too boring. This woman was like an ice statue. No matter how Han Bingling poked on her, she wasn't moved in the slightest.
Han Bingling decided to change the topic. Her expression turned serious as she said. "I need his help. He is the only one, perhaps in this world, who can help me."
"He's not available right now." Yun Qianxue replied plainly.
"I know." Han Bingling nodded. "The one who hurt him is Peng Zheng, the young patriarch of the Peng clan. With your current strength, I suggest that you forget about it first. The water here is deeper more than you think."
Yun Qianxue looked calm on the outside, but she secretly noted the name Peng Zheng and the Peng clan down in her heart. At the same time, she was overwhelmed with a sense of urgency once again. She felt no matter how hard she practiced, her progress speed could not catch up with Yun Lintian. This made her helpless sometimes.
In fact, Yun Qianxue could not be blamed on this matter. Her current progress speed was already considered a miracle. It was just that the enemy Yun Lintian facing was too strong to the point that his and her monstrous progress looked meaningless.
If Yun Lintian was here, he would say that his starting point was entirely different from other protagonists in the novels. While others started at the lowest level area possible, Yun Lintian started where the enemy was already in Heaven Profound Realm. And now, each one of his enemies was either Ruler Profound or a Saint. Even with the help of his plot armor. How could he suppose to fight them?
Of course, Yun Lintian could choose to stay in the Land of Beyond Heaven forever until he reached the Monarch Profound Realm, but he would miss many good chances, such as the Frozen Moon Mythical Realm that was restricted only for the Origin Profound practitioner.
Han Bingling looked at the silent Yun Qianxue for a while and suddenly said in a low voice. "No wonder he asked me whereabout of a place with vitality." She could clearly see the lifeforce within Yun Qianxue's body was gradually decreased. At this rate, Yun Qianxue had no more than ten years left.
Yun Qianxue heard this. She raised her head slightly and asked. "Where is it?"
"Why? Are you going to find it by yourself?" Han Bingling's eyes were like a torch. She could easily see through Yun Qianxue's thoughts at a glance.
