Lin Qianxue sighed and said earnestly. “You have to listen to the elders, understand? Although there aren’t many high-level beasts in the mountain, it doesn’t mean you can run around. Prioritize your safety first.”
Lin Tianyun smiled brightly. “Don’t worry, mom. I won’t run around.”
Lin Qianxue suddenly stood up and looked for something around the bed. When she returned, a small jade pendant could be seen in her hand.
“This is the Divine Artifact that Master has given to me. Take it with you.” Lin Qianxue didn’t wait for Lin Tianyun to react. She quickly put it around the latter’s neck.
“Mom…” Lin Tianyun wanted to say something, but he was interrupted by Lin Qianxue.
“It’s useless for me.” Lin Qianxue said with a smile, and there was a trace of nostalgia in the depth of her eyes as she glanced at the pendant.
Lin Tianyun carefully held the silver pendant that looked like a small mirror and said solemnly. “Thank you, mom. I will return it to you later.”
Lin Qianxue didn’t say anything about this and began to prepare necessities for Lin Tianyun.
Watching her busy figure, Lin Tianyun’s expression became more determined. He had to return her profound strength with this trip.

Three days passed by very quickly. Today, Greenwood Town organized a hunting team led by the Lin family and three other wealthy families, namely, Qin, Jin, and Xu.
Naturally, the leader of the Lin family was Lin Musong. Surrounding by the family’s elders and his servants, Lin Kang and Lin Chi, he was looking sideways at Lin Tianyun while sneering. Even a fool could see his intention. This trip might be the last trip for Lin Tianyun.
Lin Tianyun was, of course, aware of this, but he had prepared everything beforehand. After entering the mountain, he would find a chance to sneak away. It was impossible for a coward like Lin Musong to follow him. .
“Since everyone is here, shall we move now?” A handsome young man wearing leather armor said. His name was Qin Ye, the eldest young master of the Qin family. His talent could be regarded as the number one among the younger generations. Coupled with his good personality, everyone automatically regarded him as a leader.
“Please take care of me, Big Brother Qin.” A young lady in her sixteen said with a charming smile. She was Xu Yan, the second young miss of the Xu family. With her superb talent and appearance, everyone in the town knew that she would end up married to Qin Ye in the future.
Qin Ye smiled faintly. “Sure.”
On the side, Lin Musong looked at the two jealously. He felt that his talent and looks were not inferior to Qin Ye. How could Xu Yan ignore him and choose Qin Ye instead?
“What are you looking at, Brother Lin?” Another handsome young man walked toward Lin Musong and greeted him with a smile. His name was Jin Lei, the second young master of the Jin family. Similar to Lin Musong, he was a delusional villain through and through.
Lin Musong’s face twitched slightly. “What else?”
Jin Lei pretended to be confused as he said in surprise. “Don’t tell me you’re still liking Xu Yan?… Alas, you should forget about her, Brother Lin. She’s destined to be Qin Ye’s woman.”
Lin Musong snorted coldly and said nothing.
Jin Lei suddenly glanced at Lin Tianyun, who was standing behind the crowd and said in a low voice. “Didn’t you have a superb beauty in your house, Brother Lin? How is it? Have you taken her down yet?”
Hearing this, Lin Musong was angry. “Take down what? That old woman protects her like her own daughter. Even my father can’t do anything about it. Where do I have a chance?”
Jin Lei grinned and drew closer to Lin Musong before whispering something. “Since her son is here, why don’t we….”
Lin Musong’s eyes lit up after listening to Jin Lei’s plan. He grinned wickedly as he spoke. “What a brilliant plan.”
Jin Lei laughed slightly. “Don’t forget my share.”
“Of course, I will give her to you after I finish playing with her.” Lin Musong chuckled.
A trace of dissatisfaction appeared on Jin Lei’s face, but he hid it well enough. “I will wait for good news.”
The scene where the two talk and laugh fell into Lin Tianyun’s eyes. Without a doubt, these two were planning to do something immoral. However, Lin Tianyun didn’t care about it much.
Soon, the team of fifty people set off toward the Eternal Cold Mountain Range under Qin Ye’s lead. Since the snow was heavy, they could only go there by walking.
At this moment, three figures stood in the distance as the team left the town, calmly watching them leave.
“Why did you allow him to go? Aren’t you aware Lin Musong would definitely do something to him?” Lin Ling’er looked at Lin Qianxue in doubt.
Lin Qianxue shook her head gently. “It’s not that I want him to go, but he can’t grow up by staying in the courtyard for his whole life… As for Second Young Master’s threat, I believe he can handle it.”
Ling Ling’er took a deep look at Lin Qianxue and turned to Lin You. “Let’s go back, Grandma.”
Lin You nodded her head gently. “Mhm.” The two immediately walked away afterward, leaving Lin Qianxue, who kept staring at Lin Tianyun’s disappearing back, alone.
“You must be safe.” Lin Qianxue murmured to herself.

After walking for half a day, the hunting group gradually arrived at the foot of the mountain range. Everyone subconsciously glanced at the enormous mountain covered with an icy mist all over the place.
“This place is still majestic as ever.” Qin Ye said with a smile. He had been here several times, but the atmosphere of the Eternal Cold Mountain Range could still amaze him every time.
“Indeed.” Standing on Qin Ye’s side, Xu Yan said softly.
“Let’s go. We should be able to reach the hunting ground before night.” Qin Ye didn’t waste time here and led everyone into the mountain.
Lin Tianyun’s eyes fixated on the majestic mountain in front of him with great determination…. Wait for me, mom. I will definitely make you return to your glory day!
