The middle-aged man, Jiang Yuanjun, felt ufortable hearing this.


    He let out a sigh and said. "You know that I don''t want to do this, but in order to let our n survive, sacrificing you is the only choice I have. I don''t want to be a sinner who destroys our Jiang n''s thousands of years legacy… As a member of the Jiang n, I believe you will understand my decision one day."


    A self-deprecating smile appeared on Jiang Yingyue''s beautiful face as she said. "I am always aware that you have never loved me, just like you did to my mother. The family is nothing but a tool for you."


    She turned to look at the man who was her father and said with a calm expression. "There are many ways to let this n continue. You should know that I have a good rtionship with the heir of the Long n. It''s not impossible to ally with them."


    Jiang Yuanjun shook his head. "Since you have a good rtionship with Long Feiyan, you should know her n''s situation. Once her grandfather falls, they will be surrounded in all directions. At that time, we would be dragged down with them."


    "On the contrary, the Wang n might be a bit worse in terms of strength, but their foundation is more stable. They are the best choice avable."


    Jiang Yingyue suddenlyughed. "Hehe. It''s not like you don''t know their true intention. When the River Transformation Physique appears, this n will be a breeding farm for them. Is that what you wanted?"


    Jiang Yuanjun went silent immediately. Of course, he was well aware of the Wang n''s ambition, but he truly had no other way. If he didn''t join them, they would undoubtedly attack his n.


    Instead of waiting until that day, why didn''t he take the initiative to join them? At least, he could call for benefits with this.


    Seeing her father remaining silent, Jiang Yingyue was even more disappointed in him. She turned to look at the moon and said. "Leave. I don''t want to see you again."


    Jiang Yuanjun looked at his daughter for a long time and said softly. "Thank you."


    He turned around and left.


    Silence returned to the courtyard. Jiang Yingyue kept looking at the moon for a long while and said to herself. "Master, junior brother, please don''te. I don''t want anything to happen to both of you."


    Unfortunately, her prayer couldn''t reach Lin Zixuan and Yun Lintian, and even if it did, they would never give up on her…


    After leaving his daughter''s courtyard, Jiang Yuanjun''s expression returned to its original dignified.


    He nced at an old man who stood on the side and said. "Find out who sent a letter to her. Also, increase your vignce. Do not let anyone approach her again."


    "Yes, patriarch." The old man said and disappeared from the ce.


    Jiang Yuanjun took onest nce in the courtyard''s direction and muttered. "I''m sorry."


    With that, he turned around and walked away. Each step he took was heavy, seemingly reflecting the heaviness in his heart.


    ***


    The following day, Yun Lintian opened his eyes after meditating for the night. He nced outside through the window and saw it was raining.


    At this moment, Yun Qianxue walked into the room with a warm water basin. She put it on the table and asked. "What''s your n today?"


    Yun Lintian got up and washed his face before replying. "I n to walk around the city to observe theyout first."


    "I won''t go with you. I feel like I am about to break through." Yun Qianxue said softly.


    Yun Lintian looked at her with a smile. "Congrattions."


    Yun Qianxue smiled and asked. "Breakfast?"


    Yun Lintian shook his head slightly. "I will find something on the road."


    "Alright. Be careful." Yun Qianxue said and took the basin away.


    A whileter, Yun Lintian walked out of the restaurant with a paper umbre. He didn''t notify Shen Liqiu and Mu Qiuxue as he wanted to enjoy a rare moment alone.


    Although it was raining, the streets were still full of people, and many stalls could be seen on both sides.


    The Azure Ancient City was worthy of being the number one city in the world. The cityyout was meticulously designed, and Yun Lintian couldn''t find any loophole.


    Every ce and street would fill with a protective and a killing formation. Once a battle broke out, the citizens could go to the nearby formation to avoid a disaster.


    At the same time, thisyout could prevent people with ulterior motives frommitting unscrupulous crimes.


    "Hmm?" After walking for an hour, Yun Lintian arrived at a long alley in the city''s outer ring. When he looked into the alley, he suddenly saw a small figure leaning against a dirty wall. Judging from her appearance, she was a six or seven-year-old little girl.


    Her clothes couldn''t be called clothes, as they were tattered beyond words. Herplexion was pale, and her eyes were dull. It was unknown how long she had been staying here.


    Through the Eyes of Heaven, Yun Lintian saw an extraordinary talent in her. Her profound was twicerger than her peers, and more than half of her profound entrances had been opened.


    Without a doubt, she could be considered a heavenly genius. How could such a good seedling be like this?


    Yun Lintian''s heart suddenly gave birth to a familiar feeling. It was like someone had arranged for him to meet her today.


    Without thinking further, he walked toward her and covered her with his umbre.


    The little girl didn''t seem to notice someone standing before her. She continued to stare at the ground dully.


    "Do you desire to live on? I can give you a chance." Yun Lintian said calmly.


    The girl''s dull eyes changed slightly, and her consciousness gradually returned. She raised her head and said in difficulty. "I… want… to live."


    "Very good. I don''t care about your past. You will be my first disciple from now on." Yun Lintian smiled faintly.


    The little girl suddenly regained her strength out of nowhere. She quickly kowtowed and said in a hoarse voice. "Disciple greets her Master."


    She had exhausted all of her strength andy on the ground powerlessly.


    Yun Lintian slowly picked her up and said softly while injecting a portion of wood energy into her body. "Since I met you in the morning rain, you shall be called Yun Chenyu[1] from now on."
