As Yun Yang slowly walked out of the street, he could vaguely hear the voices of the leaders behind him. His expression changed and his footsteps came to a halt.
Behind him, the eleven men were moaning, helping each other to bandage their wounds. All of them looked pale and weary.
The battle tonight was like a nightmare.
"Boss …" One of them looked at the leader with a defeated expression. "I …"
"What do you want?"
"I want to … quit the martial world." The man looked bitter. "Let's see how much compensation the Grand Tutor can give when we go back this time … I … really want to quit."
As soon as he said this, the others all nodded their heads in agreement.
Obviously, everyone was thinking of the same thing.
The leader was silent for a moment before he said, "The Grand Tutor was kind to me back then … I didn't expect that I would implicate all of you for my own selfish reasons. Forget it. If you want to leave, I'll try my best to fight for you so that you won't be alone for the rest of your lives … "
"Thank you, boss."
One of the men sighed and said dejectedly, "Tiantang City is indeed a place of hidden talents. This young brother has suddenly become timid … I'm afraid that I won't forget what happened tonight for the rest of my life. I won't have the courage to wield my sword anymore …"
The leader chuckled bitterly and said, "Ever since I became the cavalry leader that year … I was knocked off my horse by the enemy on the battlefield and was about to die. It was Lord Supreme Cloud who suddenly appeared and saved my life … Since then, I've been fearful of the battlefield and dared not fight anymore. I retired from the army and went home. Later on, I was recruited by the Grand Tutor and came to Tiantang City … I didn't expect that now, I don't even have the courage to roam the martial world anymore …"
The others' eyes shone. "Boss has such a past? You … You actually had the opportunity to meet Lord Supreme Cloud? "
"Lord Supreme Cloud was masked at the time … No one knows what he looks like. How can I be an exception? However, my life was indeed saved by Supreme Cloud."
The burly leader sighed. "But just now, I suddenly felt very ashamed … You have the strength, but you don't think about protecting your home and country. Instead, you run away from the battlefield in fear of the enemy … It's really shameful."
"When I'm done fighting for everyone, I'll make another trip to the frontier fortress …" The leader sighed. "After paying my respects to Lord Supreme Cloud, I'll … go look for all of you."
"We'll go together!"
Several people said in unison.
The eleven of them supported each other and walked forward.
In the night, Yun Yang's purple robe fluttered. It was as if a cold and hard mask had suddenly appeared on his face.
Fang Mofei and Lao Mei understood at the same time.
No wonder the Young Master, who was full of murderous intent and had the upper hand, suddenly showed mercy and let these people live. It turned out that … the Young Master had recognized the identity of this burly man the moment he came out.
She looked at Yun Yang standing alone in the night breeze.
Both Fang Mofei and Lao Mei's eyes were filled with bitterness. This lonely silhouette made both of them feel as if their hearts were clenched in pain.
It was an indescribable heartache.
Both of them had the urge to go forward and hug Yun Yang in their arms, comforting him.
This hero's heart was really … already riddled with holes!
However, they could only watch in silence now.
Right now, Yun Yang's heart could only be resolved and understood by himself.
Yun Yang lifted his feet and continued to walk forward. His expression was cold as if he had not heard anything.
The eleven of them walked out of the street and saw Yun Yang's silhouette disappearing around a corner.
The purple robe seemed to flash before their eyes.
The boss instinctively shuddered, and his already pale face turned even paler. There was an inexplicable feeling in his heart, "Why does this silhouette look so familiar? Where have I seen it before? " Where could it be?
However, the doubt was fleeting, replaced by the joy of surviving a disaster. "Let's go!"
…
As Yun Yang walked, mystical Qi pulsed around him. The stench of blood that had accumulated on him slowly disappeared along with the vibration of the mystical Qi. There was not even a trace of it left under his feet.
It was only then that Yun Yang finally changed his direction and walked towards the Cirrus House.
He had to tell Yun Zuiyue about this no matter what.
…
"Ju Chen?" Yun Zuiyue stood up abruptly and looked at Yun Yang. A strong murderous aura exploded from her pretty eyes.
"It's her." Yun Yang sipped his tea tiredly. "She's dead."
"She's dead!" Yun Zuiyue gritted her teeth, her eyes rimmed red. It was not because of sadness but anger. "I'll go check."
Yun Yang said, "Don't be hasty. May I ask Sister Yue, what is Ju Chen's background?"
"She's also one of the sisters adopted by madam back then …"
Yun Zuiyue was a little disappointed. "Before this, she had never shown any emotion. Why would she suddenly turn against us this time?"
"Is she a companion who came with fifth brother and you?" Yun Yang asked.
"No." Yun Zuiyue smiled bitterly. "Only five of us and your fifth brother came out at that time …"
"Then I'm relieved."
Yun Yang heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Sister-in-law, forgive this young brother for being straightforward. I'm afraid your people need to be sorted out in detail. They're targeting me this time and their perception of me is wrong. There's no danger … but if … "
He did not finish his words but Yun Zuiyue obviously understood what he meant. She nodded slowly and said, "I understand. This cannot be neglected."
"Hmm." Yun Yang nodded. "I won't stay here any longer. I'll take my leave now. Sister-in-law, please take care of yourself and be more cautious. "
Watching Yun Yang's retreating silhouette, she stepped out of the Cirrus House alone and disappeared into the night.
Yun Zuiyue could only feel her heart sinking. She could no longer suppress the intense anger of being deceived. The sister whom she had brought up and nurtured with all her heart had betrayed her!
Before her betrayal, she had not even sensed anything.
This matter was really too strange!
"Check who Ju Chen has been interacting with during this period of time. I want the report as soon as possible." Yun Zuiyue ordered and then sat down on the chair, staring at the chair where Yun Yang had sat, lost in thought.
It was fortunate that Yun Yang was capable and nothing had happened to him. Otherwise, how could she face Huo'er again?
Huo'er …
Yun Zuiyue seemed to have thought of something as her expression changed. She stood up at once and dashed out of the door to chase after Yun Yang. However, just as she was about to reach the door, she stopped abruptly, the expression on her pretty face shifting.
Yun Zuiyue had suddenly thought of something.
Just now, and even a few times before that, when Yun Yang had addressed Supreme Flame, he had called him "fifth brother!"
Tonight, the two words "fifth brother" had come out of Yun Yang's mouth once again!
And it was not just once!
This was obviously not a slip of the tongue!
It was the truth, the reality!
Yun Zuiyue's gaze grew brighter.
Those who belonged to the Nine Heavens Dictum would only address him as "Fifth Sir" or "Flame Sir"!
There would never be such a term as "fifth brother"!
No one would dare, no one would offend him like this!
Only among the Nine Supremes' own ranking brothers would there be such a term as "fifth brother"!
Yun Yang had addressed Supreme Flame as "fifth brother" and called her "sister-in-law". Did that not mean …
Yun Zuiyue's eyes glowed.
It was no wonder that this young brother could turn the entire capital upside down with a wave of his hand, yet he could still hide behind the scenes and not show himself, as steady as a mountain.
It was no wonder that he was so meticulous in his planning. Each step he took could be extraordinarily secretive yet extraordinarily sturdy!
It was no wonder that his cultivation base was so high despite his young age. Even when so many people were looking for him, they could not find anything that could be used against him.
It was no wonder that Ling Xiaozui, who had always been arrogant, was full of praises for him and said that he owed him a favor.
It was no wonder that he was so elegant in front of the four noble young masters, subduing the four young masters without a sound with just a simple wave of his hand.
Such a person, such a method, such a scheme, such a strategy … ….
It turned out that Young Brother Yun was actually one of the Nine Supremes!
Yun Zuiyue sucked in a deep breath.
Then, she called Qing Shanxue in. "Xue 'er, help me check out all the sisters' backgrounds, especially those who have been in close contact with the outside world recently … then investigate them in detail."
Qing Shanxue answered in a low voice, "Yes, big sister. Has something happened?"
Yun Zuiyue said, "Nothing much. I just feel that something is not right. I want to clean up Cirrus House and get rid of all the abnormal ones. It's different now. My big brother Ling Xiaozui has openly declared that Cirrus House is his family. This is a great opportunity but we can't abuse it. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
Qing Shanxue frowned and said, "If that's the case, I'm afraid that more than half of the twelve valued sisters will be purged …"
Yun Zuiyue sighed. "This can't be helped. We can only give more silver taels and let the sisters live on their own. Cirrus House … can't keep so many people."
"Alright, big sister." Since she understood Yun Zuiyue's reason for doing so, Qing Shanxue agreed without hesitation.
Just like what Yun Zuiyue had said, Ling Xiaozui's promise of protection was both an opportunity and a restriction. If the people of Cirrus House were to use this opportunity recklessly, they would only be committing suicide!
Watching Qing Shanxue leave, Yun Zuiyue sighed softly.
No matter what the reason was, Cirrus House had to be cleaned up.
There were too many people here. If she could not be completely at ease, would it not put Yun Yang in danger of being exposed at any time?
This is Flame's brother, he's also my brother.
I, Yun Zuiyue, will never allow anything to happen to my brother here.
What happened to Ju Chen once was already too many times!
If it were to happen again …
