785 Four Seasons Tower, Get Out! (1/2)
Droves of people rushed out of their doorsteps in a flurry. Looking up into the sky to stare at the words, reverence was all there was on their faces. Although people were teeming on the streets, severely crowding the space, the entire Tiantang City was unusually quiet.
The citizens watched the sky in devotion, taking in the traces left behind by the person they respected the most. There was no other noise. In fact, glittering moisture glazed the eyes of many as they were inexplicably touched by the sight.
This is Supreme Cloud! This is Supreme Cloud!
The legend has shown his magic in front of us! This is god's doing!
How can a mere man accomplish the effervescent words of clouds in the sky?
A lot of them recalled the year when Supreme Cloud recovered his identity as Yun Yang. His popinjay façade amused them, but they were also highly impressed.
Young Master Yun was an infamous scrooge back in the day, accumulating wealth wherever he went. However, it had been proven by Yutang officials now that the countless families of the sacrificed soldiers and handicapped veterans who had fought many years for Yutang would all receive monthly donations!
The source of the stipend came from Yun Yang, Supreme Cloud.
The Board of War's Marshal, Tie Zheng, had also stepped out as a witness to mention that not only was the military stipend and the veterans funded by him, even his wedding was supported by Supreme Cloud's silver taels!
The Nine Heavens Dictum sent a message discreetly as well – a complete name list, a big bundle of it. That was the name list of Supreme Cloud's years of secret donations and an astronomical figure of silver taels.
By rough estimation, those in Yutang who had received Supreme Cloud's assistance all these years, whether directly or indirectly, would include almost the entirety of Yutang's population!
What a mind-boggling figure was it! What grand fortune it must be! Yet, Supreme Cloud had given all of it out without any reservations.
Hot tears brimmed in the eyes of countless people. Their hearts thumped hard as if they were about to explode.
”This is our Supreme Cloud!”
”This is our god of Yutang!”
Now that the god of Yutang had shown himself and left some writings in the sky, the people cheered instinctively, despite the majority not understanding what the words meant. Many veterans and their remaining families sobbed once they saw the words written in the sky by Supreme Cloud.
It was a deeply set gratitude – respect that would last for lifetimes to come!
”Since the existence of man, never has there been anyone who can be revered by the people to this extent!” His Majesty exclaimed. ”I do not have any misgivings now nor am I jealous. I only feel lucky, fortunate that such a figure is in Yutang after all!”
Since Supreme Cloud's script had appeared, it hung in the sky, growing increasingly eye-catching.
Everyone was easily aware that Lord Supreme Cloud was waiting for a reply, so they waited as well in silence. They watched on quietly.
Countless people covered their mouths with their hands, their tears coursing down freely from their eyes, but their eyes remained unblinking as they stared at the penmanship in the sky. This was the script of their savior, the traces of Lord Supreme Cloud!
How many times could they have seen it in this lifetime of theirs? This time, even though it was only a few words, they wanted to look carefully – they wanted to sear it onto their hearts! They would never forget it, not for at least an eternity!
Many scholars retrieved their brush and ink on the spot; wherever they were, they began to replicate the scene.
An hour later, a clear voice rang from somewhere unknown but it ricocheted around Tiantang City.
”Lord Supreme Cloud, be it grace or grudge, right or wrong, it's fated that they can't be peacefully resolved wherever one is. Since Lord Supreme Cloud harbors the intention to end this grace and grudge, why not end it here in Tiantang City?”
The people discussed this in whispers.
