806 Three Days Later! (1/2)
Well, if you are willing to stay, then, by all means, stay as you wish. When the fighting begins, the aftershocks on its own would kill quite a number of people. If you're not afraid of death, do you think we would be concerned about killing you...by accident? We really don't mind!
However, nothing occurred even after a few days of waiting. The Four Seasons Tower finally lost their patience.
They sent out somebody to scout for information.
The scout took off immediately, searching and combing through the grounds frantically. After venturing for almost a third of the entire journey, he finally found Yun Yang making his way on the path below, strolling leisurely.
With that speed, one could only cover a few hundred miles in a day at most. With one-third of the entire distance remaining, ten or more days would still be required to complete the journey. The most infuriating matter, however, was the fact that he clearly had a rare, noble steed beside him which he did not mount, but chose to only walk with the leash in hand!
The expert from the Four Seasons Tower almost gagged from rage upon the sight that greeted him.
We were waiting for you back there, one whole big group of us, waiting, expecting… and here you are, wielding a horse in one hand and a lass in the other, taking your time… pray, tell, are you walking your horse or womanizing? It doesn't seem like you're in a haste to show up at all!
At this moment, Yun Yang and Ji Lingxi had just gotten up a hill, standing atop to marvel at the majestic scenery of rolling clouds beyond the horizons. Suddenly, they heard a strange noise from above the skies.
Like a meteor, the man in black descended, the noise from his gestures not deliberately minimal.
The incoming person gave the two of them an incredulous stare. ”Sir Supreme Cloud, what is the meaning of this?”
From the tone of his voice, he was clearly from the ranks of the Four Seasons Tower.
Yun Yang rolled his eyes. ”Pray tell, what is the problem?”
”Everybody agreed to meet at Tianxuan Cliff after three days to settle this once and for all, yet here you are, Supreme Cloud, miles away from our rendezvous point — what is the meaning of this?” The man in black raged on. ”Perhaps Sir Supreme Cloud has forgotten about this appointment?”
Yun Yang replied, in a matter-of-fact tone. ”How could I forget about it? Of course, I would remember the meeting that I've set up myself. My memory is most certainly better than yours — you're being overly paranoid, good sire!”
The man in black roared, ”Then why are you still here? A man should walk the talk , a man without integrity does not carry himself well! I can't believe that Sir Supreme Cloud would go back on his word — that he is someone who would simply toss his words around!”
”Me, going back on my words? Good sire, your accusations are going a little too far, aren't they?” Yun Yang mused.
”Sir Supreme Cloud, including today, you've already missed the appointed date by a full nine days! We agreed to meet three days later, yet now— now it's the twelfth day, is it not? How would Sir Supreme Cloud explain himself?”
”Well, you see… I am aware that I've promised to meet three days after… well now… is this not three days after?” Yun Yang replied casually.
”I beg your pardon?”
”Be it the twelfth day after… or the thirteenth day after… they all fall beyond the three-day-after agreement, don't they? I do remember this agreement — how dare I not? Whichever day it is after those three days, however… it should be decided by me — the one who instigated this meeting — and not you, shouldn't it? This is the fact of the matter, whatever self-justification you call it — this is how it should be since the start, should it not?”
The man in black almost spat out a mouthful of blood. His body shaking, he gritted his teeth and replied seethingly, ”Shameless, utterly shameless! Such audacity! I can't believe that the Nine Supremes would have such a shameless descendent like you — this is madness and utterly infuriating!”
”You lot are the uncultured ones here, misinterpreting my words and waiting like idiots at a corner — who else is there but yourselves to blame? Here you are, trying to turn the situation around by blaming me, instead! How dare you! Why do you look so riled up? Would you like to teach me a lesson? Then get down here — I'm waiting,” replied Yun Yang nonchalantly.
The man in black heaved in laborious breaths, his eyeballs almost popping out of his sockets. Getting himself down there to engage in a deathmatch with Yun Yang… what kind of joke was this!
The cultivation bases of Yun Yang and this young lady was immeasurably high — it'll be suicide for me to go down there on my own.
Do you really think I'm an idiot?
I might be fuming to the point of death, but I still value my humble life!
The man in black held his breath. ”So, according to Sir Supreme Cloud's logic… three years after is still considered to be a valid date within the 'three days after' limit? Is this what you mean?”
”You are correct. You've turned so intelligent suddenly — what promising potential you have in you!” Yun Yang replied calmly.
The man in black was at lost for words, completely overwhelmed with rage.
