Chapter 233 (1/2)
<hr>
As soon as Su Mo saw the corners of Yuan Tianwen’s mouth droop, he knew that his wife had probably run away. In order to prevent his son from making a fool of himself in public, Su Mo quickly took Yuan Tianwen to the courtyard of the Yuan family in Sky Peak City.
Once the door closed, Su Mo heard Yuan Tianwen utter a “Dad’ while sounding very aggrieved before he even asked him about what had happened, then two drops of tears fell.
Su Mo, “…”
Su Mo’s heart ached terribly. He reached out to pull his tearful son in his embrace, then gently patted his back like when Yuan Tianwen had been a child acting spoiled to him.
“Dad, he doesn’t like me anymore.”
Yuan Tianwen’s voice was m.u.f.fled, “He said that my courts.h.i.+p is a sort of burden to him; he begged me to stay away from him and not disturb his life anymore. Am I that horrible?”
“Dad, I already know that I’m wrong, I’ve already changed, I’ll treat him well all my life and compensate him for it–”
“But why does he still not want me?”
Yuan Tianwen was like a child who had been abandoned. He was incredibly upset, and though he was clearly an adult, he now revealed a childish and pitiful side of him.
Su Mo sighed in his heart and could only console him by saying, “Time will reveal a person’s heart; Yuyang probably can’t accept it for now. Why don’t you stop pestering him for this period of time and make him feel vexed. When the two of you calm down in a few days, things may turn around.”
Yuan Tianwen sniffed and pursed his lips, his head drooping, “What if he still ignores me?”
Su Mo sighed and rubbed his son’s head. “Then you’ll have to let go.”
Yuan Tianwen was resolute, “I don’t want to.”
Su Mo’s head hurt a little. “If he ends up liking someone else someday…”
“If he likes one, I’ll kill one.” Without even thinking about it, Yuan Tianwen said stubbornly, “If he likes two, then I’ll kill a pair.”
Su Mo, “…”
“Then I’m afraid he’ll hate you to death.” Su Mo said with great emphasis.
“I’d rather that he hates me to death than ignore me.” Yuan Tianwen felt disheartened and frustrated, like his heart was being cut up with a knife. His Yangyang was so kind and outstanding, there must be a lot of people who like him.
If he relaxed in pursuing Duan Yuyang, then before long, Duan Yuyang would probably get hara.s.sed by some other hussy.
“This won’t do. Dad, give me a magic treasure or medicinal pill that can suppress my cultivation level quickly. I want to go in and find him now.” Yuan Tianwen asked impatiently.
Su Mo rolled his eyes, feeling like his son had completely grown askew. He and Yuan Zhengming were both people who could change their trains of thought, so why was their Yuan Tianwen so h.e.l.l-bent on being stubborn?
Su Mo’s tone brooked no arguments, “You just made a breakthrough in your cultivation so your realm is still unstable, you can’t act so recklessly. Stay at home and take a few days to stablize it before talking about anything else .”
What if his family’s Yuyang ended up liking a cultivator who’s stronger than him?
There’s no need to think about those in the future, there’s already a Lin Xuanzhi nearby. He felt an immediate sense of urgency to improve his cultivation level.
Yuan Tianwen clenched his fist and nodded, rubbing his eyes, “I understand.”
Su Mo suddenly realised something very important.
“Your cultivation level shouldn’t have had this sudden breakthrough. Don’t tell me you did that thing again with someone in the Pill Limit Mysterious Land?”
Yuan Tianwen was a little embarra.s.sed as he nodded under his Dad’s intent stare. “It was Yangyang.”
Su Mo was stunned, then smacked Yuan Tianwen’s head. He didn’t know if he should cry or laugh as he resented his son for not being as smart as he should be. “My silly son, do you have a pit in your brain? He was willing to do that with you at that kind of time, yet you actually still doubt that he has no feelings for you? What on earth are you thinking in that brain of yours?”
Yuan Tianwen was still immersed in his sorrow. “But he said that he did that to beg me to spare him.”
“And you believed that?’
“Why wouldn’t I?” Yuan Tianwen pursed his lips. “He already said that himself, and he even said it a lot of times with a really firm att.i.tude.”
Su Mo frowned slightly. Based on the wisdom he had gained from the additional years he spent eating rice and growing smarter compared to Yuan Tianwen, he guessed a few possibilities.
“What about this, focus on stabilising your cultivation for now.” Su Mo pondered. “I’ll dispatch some people out to investigate if Yuyang has encountered any trouble.”
“What do you mean?” When Yuan Tianwen immediately paid attention when he heard that Duan Yuyang might be in trouble.
Su Mo stroked his chin. “Since he’s willing to be physically intimate with you, he naturally likes you, but he insists on shutting you out with such a firm att.i.tude… I’m afraid that there’s more to it than meets the eye.”
Yuan Tianwen wanted to continue inquiring about it, but Su Mo wasn’t willing to say anything to disturb Yuan Tianwen’s mind before confirming the truth, so he just exhorted him to seize this good opportunity after he had just advanced to stabilise his realm. As for the rest, Yuan Tianwen could just leave it all up to him.
In the Pill Limit Mysterious Land.
On the second day, when Yan Tianhen woke up, he just saw Duan Yuyang, whose head was drooping with a fistful of gra.s.s in his grasp as he stared at the lake while deep in thought. Yuan Tianwen’s whereabouts were unknown too.
Yan Tianhen ran over and sat beside Duan Yuyang. He looked around, asking, “Where’s Yuan Tianwen?”
