338 Renounce Exploitation and Return to My True Self! (1/2)
Lei Dongtian had made arrangements since the very beginning in order come into contact with Yun Yang through Dong Tianleng indirectly. He did not mercilessly kill Dong Tianleng, despite being humiliated, but plotted to befriend Yun Yang instead. He was also willing to go to the expense of sending a large quantity of premier resources just to forge diplomatic relations with him, revealing high-end, confidential secrets of the Bound of Universe. All of these had portrayed that Lei Dongtian was an extremely manipulative and ruthless character.
However, Lei Dongtian had fallen prey to his own plots and calculation since the initial stage and was stuck in the pit. If the situation for both of them had been clearer, Yun Yang admitted that he might not even have the confidence to trick the other party.
However, having said that, the use of tricks was to make it as if things had happened unintentionally. Wasn’t it silly for one to not manipulate the other if he knew that they were both rivals? Wasn’t it that very same scheme that had successfully washed away all the doubts about Ji Lingxi and Yue Rulan?
Under the condition that it was an unintentional meeting, it was just as simple as that. A glance was all it took.
However, it was now appropriate to consider the safety of the two ladies and to find a place for them to hide!
”We aren't leaving!”
The reactions of Ji Lingxi and Yue Rulan were exactly the same.
The entire manipulative process by Yun Yang had been witnessed by both Ji Lingxi and Yue Rulan. Of course, they would have known what sort of a whirlpool the Residence of Yun was now engulfed in!
In the face of the forthcoming retaliation by the Four Seasons Tower, Yun Yang had trapped himself while designing the pits, even if his main target was Lei Dongtian .
No matter whether one was to look at it from the viewpoint of Yun Yang as an influential character in Yutang or as the friend of Lei Dongtian, the Four Seasons Tower would definitely not exempt him. He would be the best target for a direct attack, the best choice indeed!
To leave was something the two ladies were incapable of doing.
After so many years of roaming the world, and after experiencing so much of joy, sorrow, departure, and betrayal of the families, Yun Yang’s home could be deemed as their last warm harbor!
They would not leave!
The determined attitude of the two ladies had made the warmth within Yun Yang’s heart surge, despite him being at his wits’ end.
They had indeed proved themselves to be his eighth brother's little sister and fiancee. Despite knowing that the danger was imminent, they did not seek to avoid it.
However, how could I expose you girls to such danger, to place you at risk?
...
”Lao Mei, Old Bai, Old Fang. The Residence of Yun will be facing some trouble. The retaliation of the Four Seasons Tower will arrive at any moment. What do you fellows think? Don’t feel restrained in voicing out your ideas!”
Yun Yang looked at the trio who stood in front him.
”Let us fight with our all!” uttered Lao Mei in an easy tone.
”As long as I am able to accompany young master, anything will do. Life or death is something that can be determined within the blink of an eye.” Fang Mofei laughed in a carefree manner.
”May I be excused to head to the washroom?” Bai Yixue could be seen sighing in a mournful tone.
”No, you may not.”
”Then what can I do? It is nothing more than a fight against them! It’s still early from the due date of our agreement!”
The expression of Bai Yixue was filled with bitterness.
Yun Yang chuckled and took out three jade boxes from his sleeve, ”There are three pieces of ruby fruits in each of these boxes. You fellows should consume one later and it will help to boost your cultivation base by fifty years. The second one can help to boost your cultivation base by thirty years, the third one by twenty years. Within the following three days, eat one every day. You must boost your battle strength to new levels, increasing the means for your survival!”
The eyes of Ba Yixue and the other two were instantly wide.
”If what has been told by Lei Dongtian is true, the three ruby fruits will help to boost your cultivation base by a hundred years as soon as they are consumed!” Yun Yang softly said, ”I wish that all of us can remain safe throughout the catastrophe.”
Fang Mofei and the other two began to breathe rapidly upon seeing the jade box before them, almost rendered speechless.
This was a treasure from heaven and earth in every sense of the word! This was the type of treasure that, according to the legend, could help to boost the cultivation base by just consuming one of it!
It was now being placed before them, for their consumption.
Furthermore, there was more than one. Three for each person, a hundred years of cultivation base?
Everyone knew that no matter what kind of treasure it was, only the first one could help the cultivation base of the consumer to an amazing extent, while the effect of the second one would be greatly reduced and as for the third, the effect was even far lesser than that of the second. Hence, the act of Yun Yang giving three of ruby fruits for each of them at once was but a waste. The total number of the ruby fruits for the trio would be nine and if they were to be distributed to nine people, the fruits could have helped to increase the cultivation bases of the nine people by fifty years each. The difference was apparent!
However, at this point in time, Yun Yang had given the ruby fruits to only the three of them without hesitation. His high regard and sincere consideration towards them were clear.
”Thank you, Young master!”
Even Bai Yixue could not help but be moved by Yun Yang’s act.
The crazed thirst of practitioners for the improvement of their own strengths was not something that could be easily understood by the ordinary man on the street.
It was simply an extreme fanaticism!
After all, the act of Yun Yung giving three ruby fruits all at once was unheard of within the Tianxuan Continent!
This was something that could barely be described by just the word ”generous”.
”Unfortunately, only three of the ruby fruits can be consumed and to eat it again makes no difference with any ordinary fruit.” Yun Yang sighed, ”Take them and dismiss yourselves!”
”It is imperative to boost your strength within these three days. We have, at best, three days of leisure left to us.”
