Yun Yang wiped away the pile of snow on the cenotaph and sat down, cross-legged.

I have been thinking long and hard for a while now.


Sister Yue, was this your plan all along? To pretend as if you were dead, to cover your name and to escape? You fed me so many amazing things before you left… Sister Yue, if you were going to die, why did you put in so much thought?


I can’t believe that you left, just like this.


That has been on my mind for many days. The more I think, the more doubts emerged. Sister Yue, you didn’t die after all, did you?


Fifth brother, do you know about this?


No matter what, I can finally rest assured. All this while, my heart, and hope have been dangling and hanging on a thread. Even though I knew that it wouldn’t help much, I can’t but remain so.


Soon enough, the entire Residence of Yun might no longer exist…


It seems like young ninth has to open a new path again …

Yun Yang’s face was bitter,
The mighty Nine Supremes, renowned and influential! Fifth brother, do you know that I always feel that you all aren’t really dead … instead, you all have been looking up on me… but how can you be so cruel, to look at me being alone and shouldering all the burdens?


Oh, how I wish that you all really did watch over me, looking down from somewhere, encouraging me to persist and continue on, instead of being dead… In that case, I will definitely turn against all of you when we meet and to demand a total calculation for how much you all have put me through.


Initially I thought I had been planning well for the matter pertaining to Lei Dongtian. However, in the end, I have gotten the Residence of Yun involved. No matter how flawless the plan is, it all goes awry when it is executed! Well, how can the reality always suit one’s wishes? I’ll just let bygones be bygones. However, the development so far is still within the plan. I have been preparing to deal with the matter. However, the issue has taken many twists and turns, and in the end, the Residence of Yun will inevitably be exposed…


After this incident and a thorough check is made, it is impossible for the Four Seasons Tower to miss out the fact that I am the current Supreme Wind…


The danger and uncertainty of the future are becoming increasingly set in stone.


However, no matter how hard it is, I’ll carry on and persist until the day we meet!


That day will come… that day will definitely arrive!

…
Ji Lingxi and Yue Rulan were standing in front of the window, watching Yun Yang, who was sitting quietly on the snowy ground.
Both of the ladies felt a strange feeling surge through their hearts as they gazed upon the peaceful scene.
Despite being in this worldly realm, Yun Yang gave them an impression that he was standing above the clouds, lonely, dreary and desolate.
He was a piece of ice that refused to melt, isolated from the rest of the world and discouraging strangers from coming near.
There were so many precious and valuable emotions in this world, yet none of them seemed to relate to this Young Master Yun that was sitting before them!
He seemed to have rejected and refused all goodness and warmth, turning away everything and anything that could soften his heart.
He had always portrayed a bearing that was elegant and gentle. However, his kind of gentleness and elegance was sterile and cold, a behavior that most people would find hard to approach and harder to accept.
Just like now.
He was sitting alone on the snow ground, radiating a strong sense of resistance and contrast.
Resisting everything and anything that came close to him.
He would rather remain lonely and desolate.

Why?
whispered Yue Rulan as her fine brows creased in puzzlement.

Why?
Yue Rulan frowned as she murmured the question in a low voice.
Ji Lingxi felt her heart aching.
She wished to get closer to him, yet he had been too stubborn to allow her to do so. Rejecting her advances again and again, with great determination. Every time she felt as if their gap had been narrowed, Yun Yang would always actively, consciously or unconsciously, widen the distance again, back to a frigid state.
Yun Yang finally stood up.
He smiled forlornly, and a mist of warm breath left his lips.
Within the freezing cold and snowy atmosphere, the long breath was like a white dragon, rushing out of his mouth and slowly fading away.
It seemed like he had exhaled all the warmth that he had received from this world. His spine remained straight as a sword, his body stiff and upright.
After standing quietly in that position for a while, he then turned around and walked towards her direction.
…

Elder cousin Yun?
Upon looking at Yun Yang’s expression, Ji Lingxi felt the pangs of fear and anxiety.
The panic was not for herself, but for Yun Yang. The Yun Yang she was looking at now was no longer the one that she had spent days, mornings and nights with. He seemed to have donned a layer of icy armor, and swathed a cloak of cold reticence about himself.
It was yet another layer of aloofness.
Ji Lingxi could sense from her heart that Yun Yang was growing increasingly distant, and this made her extremely anxious.
Yun Yang seemed like a lonely cloud above the sky, drifting away from the worldly realm, floating higher and higher while becoming more and more elusive, to the point that it was beyond reach.

There is nothing to worry about.
Yun Yang beamed gently,
I have brought along some valuables for the both of you.


What kind of valuables?
asked Ji Lingxi with an aching heart as she stared into Yun Yang’s eyes.
You wish to remain like this?
Won’t your heart feel tired?
So much pain, endless stress, and so many other burdens.
All of these have been placed on you, weighing down your heart.
Yet, you have suppressed all of it, facing your people with such a calm and gentle face, without willing to expose any of the emotions that churn within you.
When you face the enemy, you ridiculed him. You were cold and decisive, you were…
All of those things, they were not you.
Why, oh why do you refuse to lower down your guard and relax for a moment when with us, your own people?


Of course, these are the most valuable of valuables.
Yun Yang smiled brightly,
These things are hard to be obtained. In order to extort this from the hands of Lei Dongtian, I had to resort to trickery and the exertion of a whole lot of effort!


These are three pieces of ruby fruits. Take one daily for three days, they will able to help increase your cultivation base by a hundred years.
Yun Yang took out two jade boxes and handed one to Ji Lingxi and another one to Yue Rulan,
You must eat these in three days’ time as, after that, there won’t be much room left for leisure.


Also, here are ten seven-colored jades. Each of you take five. You can use it as an auxiliary to accelerate your cultivation base when you practice in the future. Half the work but twice the effect so the cultivation improvement can be faster!

Yun Yang handed over two small boxes again.
Yue Rulan and Ji Lingxi instinctively felt that something was wrong.

The enemy is approaching soon. You should consume the ruby fruits first, to enhance your cultivation bases and battle strength. Since both of you are not willing to leave, then it is necessary to enhance your strength.

Yun Yang said,
This is the only way I can think of to safeguard your lives. No matter what, to increase the means of survival is important at all times.

Upon hearing that, the eyes of the two ladies brightened together.
The fact that Yun Yang gave out the ruby fruits was secondary. What the two ladies really cared about was the fact that this bastard had finally decided not to get rid of us.
…
That night, the spiritual Qi in Residence of Yun was overflowing!
It was all engulfed with the special vibes of a cultivation base breakthrough.
The experts of the four noble families were nervous and tense.
What has happened?
What is going on here?
Why did it seem like there were people experiencing breakthroughs in every direction?
Even their own young masters were experienced breakthroughs.
Cultivating?
What the hell was going on?
Yun Yang appeared in a timely manner and gave an explanation.

These are the practice resources given by Young Master Lei. I had given each of that to your young masters.
Yun Yang explained,
Just a little, but it was distributed equally and fairly. When you folks are leaving later, do make sure that they are being well-monitored and to urge them to work on the cultivation digestion. Otherwise, I am afraid that the four lazy fellows will waste this opportunity. If that’s the case, it will then be a lifetime of regret!

Only then had the bodyguards of the four families realize the truth. With faces filled with gratitude, all of them had uttered
Thank you, Young Master Yun.


You’re welcome.
Yun Yang let out a faintly reserved smile,
I wish you all a safe journey. We shall meet again in the future.


Thank you, young master. We also wish that young master will remain in peace and joy. We shall meet again.

…
On that night, after Dong Tianleng had finished upgrading his cultivation base and healed all his injuries, he had snuck into Yun Yang’s room and whispered,
Boss, what do you have to pass on to me?

The fact that Yun Yang had personally sought help from him had made Dong Tianleng feel extremely proud and honored!
He was the first of the boss’ disciples. Of course, his friendship must have greatly differed from the others!
At that point in time, Dong Tianleng was so energetic he could rip a Bear of Earth apart with his bare hands!
By consuming the ruby fruit, Dong Tianleng felt as if he had turned invincible!
This feeling of excitement and pleasure surged through him. He felt as if he was floating on air, instead of walking. If not for a certain weight beneath his crotch, he would have floated away into the sky.

I want to ask you to …

Yun Yang stopped and looked at Dong Tianleng critically.
Yun Yang had noticed the expression on the other man’s face. Initially, the reason Dong Tianleng had come to Yun Yang was to ask him what kind of work was to be passed on to him. However, the conceited and boastful look that Dong Tianleng wore the moment he met Yun Yang, was one of conceit and eager arrogance.
Look at his eagerness, his wild ambition was apparent yet he was still trying to hide it.
Boss, you might not know this,
Dong Tianleng was sitting on the edge of Yun Yang’s bed while shaking his butt,
I have never been so strong in my entire life!

With a blank face, Yun Yang looked at him and remained speechless. He even began to doubt whether his decision was the right one. Was it appropriate to entrust the affair to this person? Would it not be too risky?

It is gratifying!
Dong Tianleng uttered gleefully,
It is too joyful indeed! Never would I have imagined that such a great opportunity would have fallen on me. When I get home, fck, I will put up a low-profile front. If there’s someone who wishes to test me, I will then show it off, little by little … to make them feel shocked once and for all, shocked to the extent of doubting their own lives!


I want to attack the so-called genius of the family, to the extent of them losing all their honor!


Let’s see who else dares to underestimate me. What’s wrong with the popinjay? How is it that popinjays can’t achieve anything?


Your father will become be the most unscrupulous yet most talented popinjay in the world!

Upon thinking of his bright future, Lei Dongtian laughed deafeningly while holding his waist. Yun Yang could clearly see the red tongue that was jumping flexibly within his mouth …
Yun Yang turned from momentary silence into complete shock. Little did he know that Dong Tianleng would possess such intelligence!
Was it not the trick of the main character in some novels?
Fck, Dong Tianleng, don’t tell me you wish to become the main character now?
