554 I Have Three Ways! (2/2)
Had they regarded the three brothers too highly? This sort of treatment was more suitable for the likes of… Mr. Nian! It was akin to killing a chicken with a butcher's knife for them to retaliate against the Venerable Lords this way.
When Yun Yang came, the three of them instantly felt more assured. It was truly a strange feeling.
”I believe all three of you are clear of the current situation. Not only is it complicated, it is very harmful to all of you. Even if you have the Four Seasons Tower behind you, the situation is still tricky.”
Yun Yang said, ”We know each other, thus there is some sentiment at play, especially when it was my message that brought all these about.”
Venerable Lord Sword spoke quite impatiently, ”Stop beating around the bush. Just tell us what we should do.”
Yun Yang chuckled and spoke unhurriedly, ”Of course there is a way out, but it depends on what the Venerable Lords are thinking.”
”May I ask what Young Master Yun means?” Venerable Lord Snow questioned in a composed manner.
”I have three ways for you three to pick from, ranging from the best to the worst,” Yun Yang replied.
The trio listened intently.
They had been unable to come up with anything for so long, yet the youth had three different solutions in hand the moment he walked in? What a clever mind he had! Was this what separated the wheat from the chaff?
”We would love to hear about these ideas,” the trio said simultaneously.
”The best way, the best method, to counter this current situation… is to just leave.” Yun Yang said seriously, ”To begin with, I'm rather confused about what has happened. After all, what the three of you have done is in stark contrast to the actions of the Four Seasons Tower in the past.”
All three of them nodded with long faces.
Yun Yang had personally witnessed the fight between the Four Venerable Lords and Lei Dongtian and servant that was then drawn to Mr. Nian's emergence and forceful finish. He knew well about the Four Seasons Tower's hidden capacities and its monstrosities. He was equipped with an adequate cultivation base, thus it was expected that he would reach such a conclusion from the hints that were presently available.
”You didn't manage to kill Hong Zhan, but there are plenty of men from the Hall of Crimson Blade who died at the hand of you three. From a certain degree, it can be considered that Venerable Lord Ice's death has already been avenged. I believe he would be able to rest in peace down there.”
Yun Yang spoke with kind intentions, ”From what I can see, no matter how colossal the Four Seasons Tower, there must be a limit to its abilities. Can it really support the three Venerable Lords? If the three of you insists on pursuing this matter, it may enrage the Four Seasons Tower's higher authorities. When the time comes, it may be very harmful to you. After all, what you've offended this time is one of the most notable assassin forces on the continent.”
”The goal has pretty much been reached by now. Why not put it aside for a while, and hide to ensure your safety? Wait for a better opportunity in the future and act upon it. This will be the best way!”
As Yun Yang spoke, the trio's expressions darkened significantly. By the time Yun Yang ended his speech, all three of their faces held animosity while their gazes towards Yun Yang were already tinged with hostility.
They were ready to fight, yet his best way was to flee? If they were to escape just like that, there was no need for the youth to even present his idea! Even though Yun Yang was being reasonable and the Four Seasons Tower no longer supported them like it used to, so what? The Venerable Lords were adamant about avenging their brother's death!
”No.” Venerable Lord Snow did not look happy. ”Our brother has just passed on and we haven't actually taken revenge. How can we leave, just like this! Even if the three of us have to die fighting, we won't just give up!”
Yun Yang sighed and said, ”Since all three of you insist, then let us go to the second best option. Actually, it is simpler than the best way. I would suggest persevering while waiting for support.”
”Persevering while waiting for support? What support?” asked Venerable Lord Snow.
Yun Yang feigned surprise. ”What support? Of course, it would be the support from the Four Seasons Tower. Actually, the current situation isn't any different from the day when the Venerable Lords fought my friend, Lei Dongtian. It's just that one is fast and the other slow. Currently, no matter how amazing the Dictum of Death is, there will still be a few days gap until the world's assassins assemble. I believe the Four Seasons Tower's relief troops can rush here in time. I still remember the glimpse I caught that day. Although that fear still lingers, it was a truly amazing sight!”
The three Venerable Lords' faces fell once they heard Yun Yang's second suggestion. Their already dark faces darkened to a point where it was about to absorb all light.
