360 Brother Lei, You’re Wrong! (1/2)
When Yun Yang left the Residence of Qiu, he felt a tinge of regret in his heart. As old marshal Qiu had said, it was indeed quite a pity for such an accomplished assassin to die.
However, regardless of how regretful he felt, the assassin was now trapped in the Empire of Ziyou, far beyond their reach. Even if he were to have the thought of saving him, or even to put that thought into action, the captive would probably die before the cavalry arrived. This was beside the fact that he could not even leave at all for now. Just the matters pertaining to Lei Dongtian, Sister Lan, and Lingxi, and a series of other things would require a lot of time to deal with.
Well, as a person, the concept of distinct closeness in relationships would always exist. Yun Yang was also a man, hence he was no exception!
A man who was too virtuous and able to put others before himself, able to care about others before taking care of his own people could not be deemed as a man, but a saint!
Therefore, during the communication with Shui Wuyin earlier, Yun Yang was causally brief on the matter, ”Oh yes, Shui Wuyin. Do get someone to check on the matter regarding the assassin who was caught in Ziyou; If it is really a loyalist from our side, do check if we are able to help him. At the very worst, we must also try to help in ensuring the safety of his family. Otherwise, try to find an opportunity to give him a straightforward death, without having him undergo a heroic humiliation and to die with hatred.
Shui Wuyin merely nodded in agreement and did not put much thought into the matter.
”Young master, the matter pertaining to the assassin is not an issue, but there is another thing which is rather difficult to deal with right now.”
”What kind of matter is this that could have you defeated?”
”It is with regards to the two ladies...” Shui Wuyin's expression was as bitter as a gourd, ”They’ve almost gone mad at the way they were treated. I have been beaten thrice when I tried to appease them. If such conditions were to continue, I am afraid that I will turn mad as well...”
Yun Yang patted his head. This matter was a headache indeed.
The plan that Yun Yang had in mind previously was, perhaps, not entirely thought through. His most ideal thought was to retreat fully and at most, to have his identity as the Nine Supreme remain hidden. How could he have known that things would turn around in such a manner?
Now that everything was over, the worst case scenario that he had in mind originally did not appear at all. He would, of course, want to bring Ji Lingxi and Yue Rulan back. However, the more specific issue was how to explain himself when they returned?
That mouthful of anger, how was he going to let the two ladies release it?
He had rendered them unconscious and sent them away ... it would be near impossible for them to forgive him if they were to come back!
”This matter is difficult indeed. It’s better to trouble you to stay there for a few more days and to tell them that I am fine here. The only thing to let them know is that the whole building of the Residence of Yun had been destroyed and requires reconstruction. Once the construction is done, I will then bring them home in the first instance.”
The only solution that Yun Yang could think of for now was to avoid meeting them face to face and to let Shui Wuyin bear the blame as Shui Wuyin was the closest to eighth brother. Hence, to have his fiancé and his sister handled by Shui Wuyin was logical indeed, it was a perfect match, and within reason!
”Anyway, since things are over now, wait for a few days after their rage has receded; then it will be fine to bring them back.”
Yun Yang thought in his heart.
Poor Young Master Yun. The young Lord Supreme Cloud, his name was well-known in the secular world, yet he was not able to understand a woman!
Women. This kind of creature was very strange indeed.
No matter what incident it was, as long as you explained it and made it clear at the first instant, right after it happened, nothing would come out of it after the release of temper, regardless of how serious the things were.
However, if you did not explain it in the first place, but instead opted to suppress it until a further time…it would then, whatever the thing it was, regardless of the fact that it was merely a matter of the size of a needle, be as tragic as the incident of a hero had been killed by the erosion of a hill due to the shattering of the earth!
Apparently, Yun Yang was still not aware of this.
Hence, when it came to the time where he deserved to pay for it, it would then be inevitable and right, reasonable, expected, and not surprising at all!
The trampling of Lord Supreme Cloud was inescapable.
...
Back in a room at the Tower to Heaven Inn...
”Young Master Lei has woken up.” Bai Yixue came to report.
”Alright. I'll go and take a look.”
...
”Brother Yun!” Lei Dongtian's eyes had turned red immediately the moment he saw Yun Yang.
”Alright alright. It’s fine now.” Yun Yang sat down heavily in pain, ”Brother Lei, I am sorry to tell you that... Old Mu has died.”
”I know, I'm alright as long as you're alright...” Lei Dongtian said, ”By God's mercy, you and I are still alive.”
Lei Dongtian’s injuries had yet to be healed. To escape from death, it was the easiest for him to be moved by emotions.
”God bless indeed. Having such a lowly strength like me, I could only hope for a chance. By putting peculiar toxins at several places in the Residence of Yun, I was trying to gamble that the other side would definitely destroy my Residence of Yun. Most probably it was brother Lei who had caused them to lose their control by putting them in danger. As they were too eager to vent their rage once they had lost their domineering spot, sure enough, they would go against my Residence of Yun, causing Venerable Lord Sword to be poisoned eventually. The others had no antidote and were forced to compromise. To use such a lowly technique to survive is… quite shameful indeed.”
Yun Yang sighed in a somehow dissatisfied tone as he uttered, ”Brother Lei ... The Four Seasons Tower is... it is a colossus indeed. There isn't a single fictitious character under its profound name. I have told you before that there are many talents from the Four Seasons Tower, especially the head of the Four Seasons Tower, Mr. Nian. Mr. Nian is a top-leveled hero who can compete with the world’s Unrivaled Expert Ling Xiaozui. Even if you didn’t deliberately avoid it, it is best to return to your family to bring more people over. Only then should you start attempting your stunts. However, if you do not listen...”
