143 I Have An Urgent Matter (1/2)
”I’m afraid I will have to look this up myself…” Yun Yang had made up his mind to work on some of the messages later and set the Nine Heavens Dictum aside.
He focused his concentration on cultivating again to increase his ability.
Another day and night passed.
Both Fang Mofei and Lao Mei, who were already used to Yun Yang’s recent inactivity, were left to their own whiles accordingly, only casting worried glances towards Yun Yang’s room occasionally.
Perhaps the two of them were the only people in the entire world who knew how unimaginably heavy the burden their young master was carrying must be.
When Yun Yang came out from his room, he saw Fang Mofei looking at him as if he was about to say something, but was reluctant to.
”What is it?” Yun Yang glanced at him suspiciously. ”Just spit it out.”
Fang Mofei mulled over his words before he finally said, ”Nothing.”
Yun Yang frowned, wiping his face with a towel, and said calmly, ”Did your three sworn Hu Brothers find you or did the Concourse of the Underworld come for you?”
Fang Mofei chuckled bitterly.
Yun Yang nodded. ”It's the Concourse of the Underworld, isn’t it? Asking you to kill someone? Or requesting that you leave and return to the martial arts world?”
Fang Mofei heaved a heavy sigh and said, ”One of the kings from the ten courts has arrived in Tiantang and somehow managed to locate me. He wants me to… leave this place.”
Yun Yang kept a straight face as he asked, ”And what was your response?”
”Of course I wouldn't leave young master!” Fang Mofei said indignantly, ”However, Lord King Qinguang is exceptionally influential. I am afraid that I will bring further trouble to young master.”
Yun Yang said indifferently, ”When your Lord King Qinguang arrives, tell him I’d like to meet him.”
Fang Mofei replied, ”Alright.”
Somehow, Fang Mofei’s heart grew calmer upon hearing Yun Yang's words.
Although his young master’s mystical skill was still very weak, Fang Mofei was comforted by his immense confidence towards his young master.
If young master said it was alright, it had to be alright! If young master was confident, it had to be achievable!
”You two don’t have to follow me today, I will be making the journeyalone.” Yun Yang continued, ”Stay at home and cultivate; the faster you break through to the eighth peak, the better.”
”Yes, young master. Have you already advanced to… the fifth peak?” Fang Mofei asked in wonder, watching the veil of radiance illuminate Yun Yang’s face.
The latter smiled and left without answering his question.
Yun Yang had advanced to the fifth peak a few days ago; he had also gotten to the fifth stage of Fog of Cloud Conjuration, Mystique Wind Conjuration, and Fiery Charm while Thunder Crash Spell and Art of Crimson Soul were already at the third stage.
Yun Yang currently relied heavily on these mystique mystical skills.
To gain these improvements, he had to deplete all the cultivation resources he had accumulated earlier – mystical stones, mystical crystals, jades,mystical pills and treasured gems…
Yun Yang felt like a complete pauper now; he had nothing other than gold and silver banknotes.
He was so poor that the only thing left to him was money!
…
Yun Yang went out of his residence; a light breeze blew past and he entered the palace quietly.
When he materialized again, he was back in the Residence of Yun once more.
Yun Yang frowned, deep in thought and finally gritted his teeth before rushing to the marshal’s residence.
On his way there, he had sensed someone following him but no matter the tricks he played, he could not find out who the stalker was.
The Residence of Yun was not far from the Residence of Marshal Qiu. Yun Yang arrived at the marshal’s door within an hour.
”Do inform that Marquis Yun’s son, Yun Yang, has come today to thank old sir’s show of concern these past few days.”
Yun Yang spoke in a well-mannered tone, polite and courteous.
”Please hold on, Young Master Yun.” The guard at the door was equally respectful.
After all, the name of Tiantang City’s Young Master Yun had shaken Yutang and spread far out into the world; who would not have heard of him now?
If it had been anybody else, they might have felt a tad guilty that they were just assuming Ling Xiaozui’s reputation to bolster their own.
This, however, was Yun Yang.
He had never felt the slightest bit guilty but was hoping for another fateful meeting; it would be even better if there was someone else famous for him to entirely borrow their name. It could be Dugu Chou or anyone, some experts of a legendary and mythical level; he would never think that there was too many of them even if he were to meet eight to ten of them each day.
The only way to achieve my goals in time is by using your reputation to subdue these demons.
”This rascal actually dares to come here!”
Old Marshal Qiu was instantly furious upon hearing Yun Yang’s name.
This fellow would end up being a punching bag by bringing himself to his door; the anger he had kept bottled in from the imperial court these days was threatening to release itself in a spectacular fashion.
