782 With A Great Favor Comes A Timely Exi (1/2)

Shui Wuyin was silent again before he replied, ”I need to consider this. I should not doubt your appointment, but things will be forgotten after the person ceases to exist. It's certain that you will leave this realm and yourentrustment can be effective for three to five years to come, perhaps a decade or two – but what about after that?”

Yun Yang nodded and handed over a thick manuscript. ”I understand your concerns and I know that you're sincere towards the Nine Heavens members. This is what I promised you before. As long as you cultivate according to this, anything, whether it's from your physique or any possible cultivation issues, can be smoothly resolved.”

”Alright, but why give it to me at this time?” Shui Wuyin stared at the manuscript with a frown.

”The final battle against the Four Seasons Tower is impending. If I die…”

Yun Yang smiled lightly and tossed the manuscript over to Shui Wuyin.

The latter said, ”Actually, I have something I'm curious about. There's something I can't quite figure out.”

”You want to ask about why I didn't consider to utilizing the School of Kismet State. Is that it?” Yun Yang asked in a relaxed manner.

”Precisely,” said Shui Wuyin, ”From what I've seen, we have all too many methods to use them as our pawn against the Four Seasons Tower. Let the Four Seasons Tower and the School of Kismet State tear each other apart. The two of them have never been in the same boat anyway.”

Yun Yang answered faintly, ”It's a pity that the School of Kismet State is prominently capable, a reclusive school of its time, but it's too far off when compared to the Four Seasons Tower. Next, to the Four Seasons Tower, they're only a larger cannibal ant. Fatal, but still an ant.”

”Besides, while the School of Kismet State is considerably powerful, they've stayed reclusive for far too long. It's been a long time since they stayed away from the worldly realm. And they've always assumed the upper hand, cooperating with imperial power. Towards strategic scheming and clever conspiracies, they've long lost the instinctive sense of alertness. That's why it's easy to hatch a plot against them and destroy them with a flip of a hand. If the Four Seasons Tower's brains were to be added to the School of Kismet State though… If these two bodies work together, it'd be us who'll be doomed.”

”Although I know that this could possibly save some energy for me, I dared not risk it. Right now, it's best not to take any chances.”

Yun Yang smiled lightly. ”Like using the conferring as a trap, if the Four Seasons Tower were the target, the situation of one-kill and consequently full extermination would never have happened. With this premise, it's pointless to make an unnecessary move. Better to prevent any chances of additional threats!”

”I see. Truly, this is the case.” Shui Wuyin nodded slowly.

Yun Yang then took out a spatial ring and passed it to Shui Wuyin. ”There are some monetary assets here, gold, silver, jade and a considerable amount of banknotes. During this time where Nine Heavens Dictum brothers are hiding and after this…”

Shui Wuyin stared at the spatial ring and was silent for a good amount of time before he uttered dryly, ”Alright then.”

He looked up to Yun Yang and asked, ”What's your ultimate aim in making complete arrangements now?”

”Didn't you all call me the brain of the Supremes? It's my habit – to make arrangements for everything,” Yun Yang answered softly as he stood up.

”Is it only out of habit?” Shui Wuyin questioned.

Yun Yang was no longer in front of him when he asked.

…

Yun Xiaoyao gazed at Yun Yang who stood in front of him.

He carefully looked at his 'son' from head to toe in the palace's secret chamber, the usual handsome face just like it had always been.

Time seemed to rewind back to the year when he first saw the youth who looked resilient and strong, calm and cold, yet was still so young. Now, despite looking as fine as he had been, the corners of his eyes and the sculpted end of his brows told of many changes.
