Throughout the return journey, Yun Wuhan wrestled with a barrage of questions for Yun Lintian, but his voice remained choked in his throat. This tense silence persisted until they arrived home.
Yun Lintian surprised Yun Tianlong by saying, "You may accompany me, First Ancestor." Yun Tianlong had anticipated excusing himself to grant the father and son some privacy.
Entering his courtyard, Yun Lintian allowed Yun Ling to leave first before discreetly erecting a powerful isolation barrier.
Once everyone was served tea, Yun Lintian addressed his father directly. "Ask your questions, Dad."
Taking a fortifying sip of tea, Yun Wuhan finally found his voice. "Are you truly my son?"
"Yes, but not in the way you understand," Yun Lintian replied gently.
"Can you elaborate?" Yun Wuhan pressed, confusion clouding his features.
Withholding no further details, Yun Lintian explained, "While I am indeed Yun Lintian, I hail from a different world."
