555 Luckily I’m Here! (1/2)

Was Yun Yang's method wrong? It seemed correct from his perspective and point of view, his train of thought.

The main reason that contributed to the past situation was the fall of Venerable Lord Saber. Four Venerable Lords had gone to find Lei Dongtian, but were inhibited by his skills; in the end, it was Mr. Nian's timely appearance that suppressed their strong opponent with his stronger ability. As for now, the main reason that had brought about the current situation was still the demise of a Venerable Lord and the pursuit of his killer. Everything was similar to the last, so the Four Seasons Tower's relief forces had to come to provide assistance. If the formidable force whom Yun Yang caught a glimpse of the other day came, what was there to be worried about?

The problem now was that Mr. Nian might still come, but he would most definitely not help the trio. He would only take away the God's Bones that lay within the three of them after they died.

”No backup!” Venerable Lord Snow said glumly.

”How is this possible? The Four Seasons Tower's strength is monstrous, how can…” Yun Yang cried out. ”This…”

Venerable Lord Sword snorted and said grimly, ”Forget it. You were the person whom Ice gave his last words to, you know lots about us. I shall just tell you the truth. We just knew that we've been used by the Four Seasons Tower; we are called Venerable Lords but in truth, we are only puppets. A good chunk of the reason for Ice's fall was the tower's intentions…”

Yun Yang was stunned. ”I beg your pardon?”

Venerable Lord Snow wanted to stop Venerable Lord Sword from speaking; after all, the matter was nothing to be proud of, especially when it was an unknown if Yun Yang would change his stance after knowing about it. In spite of this, it did not happen in time. Venerable Lord Sword had narrated the main points in one breath, thus Venerable Lord Snow sighed after some consideration, without adding a single word.

”This is how it is…” Once he started speaking, Venerable Lord Sword poured everything out easily. The longer they kept it within them, the more they felt like they would go crazy. Since they had an audience now and said audience was the Four Seasons Tower's enemy, it wouldn't hurt to express their feelings to someone who wouldn't help the tower anyway.

The more they thought about it, the more they realized it was fine to tell Yun Yang the truth; it would help bring them together in terms of perspective.

Yun Yang listened to Venerable Lord Sword in disbelief. After a long time, he finally breathed out and murmured, ”Oh my God… this world is petrifying…”

”You will never see anything more terrifying!” Venerable Lord Sword could not help jabbering and said, ”How old are you? How much evil have you actually seen? It's too soon for you to comment! What's most evil in this world is but a person's heart. The rest? It's not even worthy of mention!”

Yun Yang sighed, looking a little dejected, and said, ”If so, aren't the three of you alone without help now? What – what should you do?”

Venerable Lord Sword scoffed and replied, ”Let me tell it to you straight. For us, of course, we would want to avenge our brother's death. Secondly, we also want to cause some trouble to the Four Seasons Tower! We have to repay them in the same way if they intend to utilize our deaths – we repay favors, so must we return the grudge!”

Yun Yang looked like he was still dazed as he listened to the man.

”This is how things are.” Venerable Lord Sword said honestly, ”Therefore, the Four Seasons Tower won't provide any support for sure.”

”Hold on…” Yun Yang raised a hand to stop him and continued with a frown, ”No… This may not be like what you said. Please repeat it. I need to ponder the workings behind this.”

Venerable Lord Sword was about to argue with a frown of his own. He was already in a bad mood and it irritated him to no end that a child had to interrogate him and ask him to repeat himself like this. He would have loved to kill the child right there and then.

”I mean, there may be something that we can turn to our advantage.” Yun Yang explained kindly, ”Just tell me again. I didn't hear it clearly as you narrated it earlier, I may have places I missed out. To plan something, it's a must to carefully consider things over and over again. I'm not asking for nothing.”

Venerable Lord Sword reigned in his temper, sucking in a deep breath before letting it out slowly. He repeated the story once again, looking bored and gloomy.

”I understand it now, I understand it thoroughly.” Yun Yang said, ”According to your knowledge, everything that is happening now has become your own issues entirely – they're no longer related to the Four Seasons Tower, is that so?”
