594 Thus Begin The Storm! (1/2)
Bai Yixue was stunned speechless.
With regards to the topic of reputation, there were only three to five people in this world who could beat Jun Moyan, but his young master had dragged out two of those immediately. Was his young master playing him or was his young master playing him?
Ling Xiaozui smiled with a gentle nod.
When Feng Xiange was being introduced, Bai Yixue had bowed to show respect. This fellow obviously noticed that someone who was associated with Dugu Chou and Ling Xiaozui could not be an ordinary mortal.
Indeed, he was stunned yet again.
The name of the Phantom Physician God of Wine, Feng Xiange, was not above that of Jun Moyan's, but it was no less spectacular in any way.
”And this one…” Gu Chaliang was seen shaking his head lightly when Yun Yang was about to introduce him. The latter changed his opening line and said, ”This one is surnamed Gu.”
”Senior Gu.” Bai Yixue was still reverent in his manner.
'Excuse you, this one must be someone significant as well. At the very least, he won't be someone lesser-known than Jun Moyan. His name isn't even important. I can't show the slightest disrespect anyway!'
”From now on, everyone will be staying in the Residence of Yun. We're all one family.”
As Yun Yang announced this, Bai Yixue exclaimed with joy, ”Young master, I need to go back immediately to invite my master over.”
Dugu Chou had disclosed a revelation and this matter was his master's lifetime regret; now that there was hope for recompense, Bai Yixue could not wait a moment longer, impatient to tell his master this good news.
Actually, Yun Yang was equally impatient as well.
Bai Yixue's master was Dugu Chou's only disciple that was left. He had to be a super expert as well. People like him could come in droves every day and Yun Yang would not complain about the influx. It would be best for Bai Yixue to go find him quickly, and once he came, he need not even think about leaving!
”Go, go quickly! You can leave now, remember to come back as soon as possible!” Yun Yang chortled with glee.
The other experts rolled their eyes at him, obviously seeing through a certain someone's grand plan that held no shame nor limit. They had come to the same conclusion – this young one was not the slightest bit cautious. Even if he were lacking manpower, he did not have to show it so explicitly…
”I am really in need…” Yun Yang looked back at the four experts in desperation, only to find that their answer was a set of rolled eyes.
”Cough… Let us all rest now. It's not that early anymore.” Yun Yang chuckled.
After watching Bai Yixue leave, he had nothing much left to do. Now that his residence was occupied by these four people, he could sleep soundly without any worries!
Instantly, Yun Yang shed the caution that he had held, like he was walking on eggshells all this time, completely. As his high-strung nerves relaxed, exhaustion took over. He could not help wanting to sink right into slumber for days.
It was the first time in Yun Yang's life experiencing the intricate feeling of having support, of having someone to brace the sky if it fell... It felt great!
Yun Yang, who had gone back to his room, was surprised to see Ji Lingxi waiting for him in his yard.
”Why are you sitting here? Not going out? The rarely-seen masterly experts are all outside.” Yun Yang asked with some surprise.
While Ji Lingxi was a girl, she was a cultivator who was already in the heaven realm. Such capability was hardly regarded by Ling Xiaozui and group, but she was indeed an ace cultivator.
Ji Lingxi smiled and said lightly, ”Even if I go out, I wouldn't be able to say much, I'd only embarrass myself… These people outside, are they all top-notch super experts?”
”Indeed they are. Two of them are the legendary Dugu Chou and Ling Xiaozui. The third one is the Phantom Physician God of Wine, Feng Xiange, while the last one is more mysterious; he seems to have a strong background,” Yun Yang provided a simple introduction.
After all, they would all be staying in the same residence and were bound to bump into each other. He should give an advance reminder lest there were misunderstandings that stemmed from unhappy meetings.
”I knew they were exceptional guests.” Ji Lingxi smiled faintly and said, ”Alright, now that there are four of them here, you can finally sleep without worries. You haven't rested well for so long, hurry up and sleep now that you have the chance to do so.”
Ji Lingxi grinned and went out after she finished talking.
Yun Yang had wanted to make a humorous reply, but the sleepiness that threatened to take over him was hard to fight against. He took off his shoes quickly and passed out on the bed.
Just as Ji Lingxi had mentioned, his fatigue had reached its limit. Since surviving the battle in Tianxuan Cliff, anxiety had always filled his heart for the past two years; he dared not even shut his eyes entirely when he slept, how could he ever have a moment of peaceful slumber? Finally assured this time, he could not fight the exhaustion and wanted only to sleep.
It caused him to overlook Ji Lingxi's odd behavior that was in contrast with her usual self.
Under normal circumstances, an uproar would be triggered, no matter where experts like Dugu Chou and Ling Xiaozui appeared. Any cultivator who achieved a certain standard in their cultivation base would not be saved from being stirred and would yearn to see them.
What was more, the experts were right in the comfort of their homes and were staying in the same yard. The stirring should have been much stronger!
Ji Lingxi, who was an ace cultivator, should have been no exception to this, but she had not shown much reaction when she heard Yun Yang mention the few names earlier. It was as if she had only heard a few very ordinary names.
That was all there was to it.
It was terribly peculiar indeed.
Ji Lingxi stepped out of Yun Yang's room. Walking back and arriving under the tree, she halted her steps to look back.
Yun Yang's room was dark and faint snores came from within. With his current cultivation base, the only explanation to the snores was that he was truly, deeply asleep, physically and mentally!
Ji Lingxi sighed softly and sat in the pavilion. As she looked around, there was a sense of perplexity tinging her expression; there was also frustration that looked like she could not understand something and could hardly make a choice.
”I don't get it…”
A soft, lonely sigh echoed in the nightfall.
Two days passed quietly. The peace remained until the third night… A loud boom could be heard from somewhere along the outskirts of the city's western sector. It was the sound of a large door being crushed.
A drawn-out howl shook the sky – ”Four Seasons Tower's men, come out and die!”
The assassins finally began to act, their sights pointed directly at the Four Seasons Tower.
