Myth Beyond Heaven

"What do you want to say?" Ji Zhiyin squinted her eyes and said coldly.

Yun Lintian smiled and looked at all the Black Wing's elders in this place. "Please understand that I'm not trying to offend everyone here. I just want to state the truth… The reason why Sister Lei recruited me is that all of you are too weak."

As his voice fell, all the Black Wing's elders fell into silence. Although it was unpleasant to hear, everything Yun Lintian said was true. They knew in their hearts that they failed to help Lei Feifei get rid of the enemies. Not to mention Lei Feifei's bad fate waiting for her in the future.

Even Ji Zhiyin had also admitted what Yun Lintian said was not wrong.

Yun Lintian looked at everyone confidently. "Although I can't immediately help the Black Wing group out of the predicament, I believe I can achieve that in the near future with my potential. So, what Sister Lei did was an investment. She invested in me, in my potential."

He paused for a moment and continued. "As everyone knows, investment comes with risks. But I want to ask everyone here. If you are in Sister Lei's position, will you invest in me?"

The Black Wing's elders glanced at each other and nodded their heads in unison. To be able to save four peak monarchs by himself was already something they couldn't do if they were in Yun Lintian's shoes. They believed any force would go all out to recruit Yun Lintian after witnessing his potential.

Yun Lintian turned to Ji Zhiyin and said calmly. "So, Elder Ji wanted to get rid of me because of jealousy. You wanted to destroy Sister Lei's investment… Have you ever asked yourself, are you worthy of Sister Lei's trust?"

Ji Zhiyin trembled and subconsciously stepped back. She felt the world spinning as her mind was a mess. Yun Lintian's worth kept echoing in her mind. That was right. Was she worthy of Lei Feifei's trust?

Yun Lintian let Ji Zhiyin think for a moment before continuing. "I certainly won't forgive someone who tried to harm me, but I know your heart isn't completely evil. Deep down, you truly love Sister Lei and are extremely loyal to the group. Because of this, I can forgive you."

Ji Zhiyin raised her head to look at Yun Lintian. Her face was full of incredulity as she uttered. "You…"

Yun Lintian nodded. "I don't blame you. There's no need to feel guilty further." He then turned to Lei Feifei and said. "Can you forgive her, Sister Lei?… See. I am still alive and kicking."

Lei Feifei stared straight into Yun Lintian's eyes with a complicated feeling. In fact, she didn't want to chase Ji Zhiyin away as she was aware of this point, too. But it was impossible for Ji Zhiyin to stay with Yun Lintian. She decisively chose Yun Lintian over Ji Zhiyin in the end.

However, with Yun Lintian's forgiveness, the situation could turn around. While she was reconsidering, Yun Lintian's voice suddenly rang out in her mind. "Sister Lei, if you let her go, she will definitely join Du Huanfeng. Won't it be better to have her on your side? Trust me, she won't dare to do it again with this lesson."

Hearing this, Lei Feifei took a deep breath and turned to Ji Zhiyin. "I can forgive you this time, counting everything you've done for me. However, you will be demoted to an ordinary member for two years. What is your choice?"

Ji Zhiyin was stunned and stared at Lei Feifei blankly. She had never thought Lei Feifei would change her mind like this. After all, she knew Lei Feifei's personality very well. She wouldn't change her decision no matter what.

"What are you looking at? Hurry up and thank Leader." Song Cang, who had a good relationship with Ji Zhiyin, urged.

Ji Zhiyin came back to her sense and hurriedly bowed her head. "Thank you, Leader. I accept your terms and am willing to serve as an ordinary member."

"Good. Let's go." Lei Feifei nodded and flicked her sleeves, leaving the mine, followed by other elders.

Before Ji Zhiyin left, she walked to Yun Lintian and bowed her head. "Thank you, Elder Mu, and I am sorry for what I did to you. You can punish me as you want. I am willing to accept everything."

Yun Lintian chuckled and said. "That's not good, right?" As he spoke, his gaze was roaming on Ji Zhiyin's good figure.

Ji Zhiyin noticed this, and her heart was immediately entangled. She didn't know whether she should accept it if Yun Lintian requested that.

Yun Lintian saw through her thoughts and laughed. "Just kidding, Elder Ji. How could I request something shameful like that?"

Ji Zhiyin heaved a sigh of relief and said. "I-I can accept anything, except for that."

Yun Lintian shook his head and sent a sound transmission. "If you really want me to punish you, I have a task for you."

Ji Zhiyin's brows raised up, waiting for Yun Lintian's explanation.

"Du Huanfeng will certainly contact you soon. You can play along with him and see what he wants to do." Yun Lintian said.

Ji Zhiyin's eyes flashed with a strange light. She immediately understood what Yun Lintian wanted to do. She asked. "Aren't you on a good term with him?"

Yun Lintian smiled and replied. "Do you believe that?"

Ji Zhiyin shook her head. Du Huanfeng had done something terrible on Yun Lintian earlier. It was impossible for Yun Lintian to get along with Du Huanfeng further.

,m "That's right. So, I will have to trouble you with this. You can report Sister Lei about it." Yun Lintian said.

"Understood." Ji Zhiyin nodded her head firmly. Her eyes turned resolute. She wanted to use this chance to redeem herself.

"Do you want to get him, Young Master?" Returning to the Jade Pavilion, Du San quickly asked.

Du Huanfeng thought for a moment and shook his head. "No need. He has suspected me now. It's difficult to do anything at the moment… Don't worry. We have a lot of time."

Du San nodded and said nothing further.

Du Huanfeng tapped on the table for a while and said. "Send someone to the Star Pavilion and let them inquire about the Heavenly Cloud Mountain. Also, contact Ji Zhiyin. Tell her I can let her join the Myriad Pill Palace."

Du San seemed to understand his young master's thought and quickly took action.
