314 I Really Can’t Tell! (1/2)
The play was halfway through but the other party had not responded accordingly. It was more like the direction of the drama had changed completely.
What was going on now?
On one side, the old man in black robes kept his head lowered all along, his expression unclear. However, if he had looked up, one could certainly see the bewilderment on his face.
Ji Lingxi had stayed at Tiantang City and had contacted Yun Yang, for many instances. This point was certain and beyond doubt.
However, during that time, Ji Lingxi had disguised herself and changed her name!
This part of the story was unknown to them.
First, they had yet to contact the sisters of Ji Lingxi. Secondly, even if they did, the girls might not tell them the truth; furthermore, what they knew was limited to the fact that Ji Lingxi had disguised herself and had an acquaintance with Yun Yang.
Ji Lingxi's family would know even less.
Lei Dongtian's initial train of thought was not incorrect - a woman would always dress herself up for her favorite person. How could a woman not show her most beautiful side when she was with the one she liked?
However…
Due to the circumstances, Ji Lingxi did not have the time to do so. If not for the letter written by Ji Lingfeng, Yun Yang would not be able to know that Ji Ling was actually Ji Lingxi. Although Ji Lingxi had feelings for Yun Yang, Yun Yang had always put himself in the position of her father or older brother. Never did Yun Yang treat Ji Lingxi as his loved one, at least not the kind that Lei Dongtian had thought of...
So it now seemed to Lei Dongtian that the two of them may not have had that kind of relationship?
Or perhaps it was an unreciprocated relationship.
However, he had already gone through half the script, he should see it through to the end.
”The cause for this matter had been known to Brother Yun. However, the latter part of the story was the main cause of my current worries. In fact, we had managed to find her after several attempts.”
Lei Dongtian sighed, ”However ... at the crucial moment when we were about to meet, someone appeared out of nowhere, causing our plans to fall short!”
Yun Yang was inexplicably surprised, ”Brother Lei ...please don’t blame me for not able to understand the situation…The imposing manner that you displayed just now could be deemed as the pinnacle level of our times! Who could actually intervene, Brother Lei? Furthermore, to successfully thwart your plans. This is an unsettling thought!”
Any ordinary person would have said the same. A ruthless character who was able to make Lei Dongtian recede without reward was definitely not someone a petty character like Yun Yang could move. Not only was it frightening when one pondered about it, one should be utterly terrified!
”We were to blame... for letting such an accident occur.”
Lei Dongtian uttered, ”However, after we had inquired about it, we discovered that the person involved in this had an extraordinary origin!”
Alarmed, Yun Yang continued to probe, ”If I may daringly ask, who was this person?
”The strength of this man is remarkable. He seems to have a mystical power that can turn himself into a tornado. It was this man who swept my fiancée away. However, to say he's indomitably strong, may not be entirely apt... ”uttered Lei Dongtian loftily.
Yun Yang was so shaken that he even stood up and said, ”Was it Lord Supreme Wind?”
Lei Dongtian nodded, ”So, Brother Yun knows of Lord Supreme Wind as well.”
With his face palpitated, Yun Yang smiled wryly and said, ”As a citizen of Yutang, how can I not know about Lord Supreme Wind? Brother Lei, it seems that there might be some difficulties in this.”
Lei Dongtian asked, ”Oh? How can it be troublesome? It can't be too difficult to look for a person with your identity as the son of Marquis of Heavenly Cloud, am I right?”
”If it was only to look for someone, a person, even if you were to look for ten people or hundred of them, it won’t be difficult at all. However, it is a big problem if it involves Lord Supreme Wind!” Yun Yang took a deep breath. His face was solemn and his voice had turned weak to the point that it was barely audible.
”Even if Lord Supreme Wind is Yutang's hero, he can't simply be intervening in others' family matter, can he? Was there a reason for him to snatch someone else's wife?”
Lei Dongtian pretended to look terribly upset, ”No matter where this matter is carried to, the theory of this should still stand!”
As if having a toothache, Yun Yang cried, ”Sigh, Brother Lei does not fully know this matter.”
Lei Dongtian asked, ”Please do teach me, Brother Yun.”
Yun Yang’s face was troubled. Faintly, he uttered, ”Brother Lei... you ...”
He looked up at Lei Dongtian. His glance was filled with indecision.
Lei Dongtian thought in his heart; were there other internal stories pertaining to this? Could it be that this Lord Supreme Wind has had some other relations?
He was watching Yun Yang attentively. He then suddenly bowed deeply to Yun Yang and said, ”Brother Yun, please enlighten me!”
With a solemn face, Yun Yang took a deep breath. After a long time, he finally made the decision and said, ”Brother Lei, although it seems like we have known each other for long, this matter is simply too complicated to be shared!”
Lei Dongtian solemnly said, ”If it wasn't complicated, I wouldn't have come to seek help from Brother Yun so hastily .”
Yun Yang pondered and said, ”This is Brother Lei's first time stepping out of the family doors and into this secular world, right?”
”Right indeed.” Lei Dongtian agreed.
”Well, I guess not only is this your first time stepping out from home, but you've been giving chase all the way to Tiantang City after coming out, am I right?” Yun Yang asked.
”Yes, that is true.” Lei Dongtian knew that Yun Yang was going somewhere with this, so he answered frankly.
He was going to see what else did Yun Yang have to say, whether he was able to speak out of ‘justice’.
