804 Granting You A Future (1/2)
Yun Yang looked startled as he glanced upon the white couplet attached to the teahouse that had yet to fade. Battered by the wind and rain, only half of it was left fluttering in the wind.
Yun Yang's mind was spinning; he felt the pangs of a bitter ache engulf his heart. After a moment, he spoke softly, ”That's right. They are both heroes, Yutang's loyal men. San Huzi, you have to be a hero too when you grow up!”
”Yes!” The boy replied proudly, ”I will never embarrass my brothers and father. Our family members are all heroes of Yutang!”
Yun Yang smiled reluctantly. A gleaming wisp of purple Qi emerged from the hand laid on the boy's head as incredibly refined purple Qi slipped into the boy.
Silently and unknowingly, Yun Yang's purple Qi activated four chakras in the boy's body which initially had three awakened chakras, all in one swift moment. The remaining purple Qi quietly hid within the other few chakras in the boy which he could break through in an orderly fashion once he began cultivating.
At the same time, a cultivation method had passed into the boy's mind.
The boy felt a wave of vertigo, trembling before he collapsed on the floor, unconscious.
”San Huzi!” A voice came from the teahouse; a coarsely-dressed woman rushed out the door with anxiousness etched on her expression.
”It's alright.” Yun Yang said softly, ”San Huzi will be fine after some sleep. He will be very outstanding hereafter, even more remarkable than his father and brothers.”
The woman stared at Yun Yang in a rage, and said, ”Who are you? What have you done to San Huzi?”
Yun Yang smiled, ”San Huzi is a good child, I will not harm him.”
The woman whose entire being was filled with fury felt Yun Yang's smile was just too warm; her resentment vanished. Moreover, the more she fixed her gaze at the handsome face before her eyes, the more she felt a sense of familiarity. Even so, she could not recall where she had met him before and was thereby filled with doubts. ”Who are you? Why do I seem to have seen you somewhere before? Are you a relative of my family?”
Yun Yang smiled and turned to leave. ”Take good care of the lad. Your family's efforts will eventually be repaid. Yutang will not forget your contribution.”
Before his words could linger in the air, Yun Yang and Ji Lingxi had disappeared without a trace at the end of the street.
As the woman carried her child in her arm, she was deep in thought, ”Who is this young man? Why can't I remember him? I have a very good memory, I have definitely seen him before... but why can't I remember?”
Suddenly, she felt something in her hands. Lowering her head to see, she noted there were two banknotes in her grasp, each worth one thousand taels.
The sight of the two large banknotes made her heart pound rapidly!
Did the young man leave these behind?
'Why did he give me this money? Is he a relative of mine who bears a hint of sympathy for orphans and a widow like me? Is my memory not as good as I thought that I have forgotten about having such an exceptional relative?'
She returned to the teahouse absently and unintentionally saw the portrait of Lord Supreme Cloud on the wall which she had spent a silver tael to acquire. She leveraged upon her identity as the family of military and perished warriors to attain it with a silver tael at the time when many were fighting for it.
It was a handsome young master clad in purple in the portrait, his smile accompanied by an elegant manner, and his eyes were warm.
The woman was astounded as she finally remembered who this person was, and cried out, ”It's… It's the arrival of Lord Supreme Cloud!”
