"I really don't know what to say about you." A mocking voice came from behind him.
Yun Yang did not speak.
"Should I say that you're stupid or foolish?" Ji Ling sighed from behind Yun Yang. "No matter how foolish one is, no one would do what you've done today."
Yun Yang smiled faintly, not bothering to defend himself.
"You've actually exchanged an ocean's worth of cultivation resources, enough for an ordinary person to become an expert in the Three Peaks, for something as useless as gold."
Ji Ling's gaze was as if she was looking at a super idiot. "Do you know what you're doing?"
Perhaps she herself did not realize that her voice was tinged with confusion, doubt, anger, and … disappointment! Disappointment!
"Of course I know what I'm doing."
Yun Yang did not turn around as he continued, "That's why I said that you and I are people of two different worlds."
Yun Yang's voice was cold as well.
Ji Ling could not hold it in any longer and said angrily, "I don't understand why you're so short-sighted! What's the use of having so much gold? Even if you moved all the gold in the world to your own house, what's the use? "
"Don't you know that in a mystical cultivator's heart, even a piece of mystical stone is more important than all the gold in the world? Because it can increase one's strength! It can increase one's ability to protect oneself, but gold cannot! "
Ji Ling took a deep breath to suppress her boiling emotions. She tried hard to restrain herself. I shouldn't be angry, this has nothing to do with me.
But Ji Ling could not hold back her anger.
She could not suppress it at all.
Yun Yang turned around calmly and looked into Ji Ling's angry eyes. After a long time, he said coldly, "What's the point of discussing this between people of two different worlds?"
Ji Ling choked.
"Perhaps to you, gold is useless, mystical stones and mystical crystals are useful." Yun Yang's gaze was calm but cold as he said, "But to me, gold is more useful than mystical stones. Gold can be used to buy rice, rice, things to fill one's stomach. Mystical stones, on the other hand, cannot. "
"Gold can be changed, mystical stones cannot."
"So we have two different ways of thinking."
Yun Yang said, "This is not up for debate. It's late, rest early. "He turned to leave.
Ji Ling shouted from behind, "Then why don't you sell all the mystical stones and mystical crystals? Why are you only selling half of it? If I sell them all, wouldn't I be able to get more gold? "
Yun Yang chuckled bitterly in his heart.
Why wouldn't I want to sell more? The problem was that Emmie had stolen them.
Profound stones are naturally useful; they can make me stronger, but gold can feed the families of my dead brothers! When I didn't have the power or the capital …
Ji Ling stormed back to her room to sleep. As she lay on the bed in her room, a phrase reverberated in her mind, "People from two different worlds!"
"People from two different worlds!"
"So … they are people from two different worlds." Ji Ling thought to herself dejectedly, "His views and values are different. Perhaps he has a point. What is there to argue about when it comes to the values of two different worlds? Sigh … "
…
The second half of the night.
A group of a dozen men dressed in black came before Yun Yang soundlessly.
"Change all this gold into silver." Yun Yang instructed in a low voice. His mood was somber, his gaze cold and unfathomable. No one knew what he was feeling at this moment.
"A thousand silver taels for each of the eight hundred families. Distribute them all tonight, "Yun Yang ordered in a low voice.
"Yes, young master."
"Other than that, a hundred silver taels for the families of the martyrs and veterans in Tiantang City." Yun Yang continued to order.
"Yes."
"I don't need to emphasize what to do, do I?" Yun Yang looked at them coldly.
"We will follow young master's orders. There will be no accidents, no disputes, and no robbery!" The leader of the masked men in black said firmly.
"Alright, go ahead." Yun Yang said, "Also, continue to pay attention to what I have instructed. Report to me if anyone crosses the line or violates the rules!"
"Yes!"
The men in black made a few trips to and fro before they transported ninety percent of the gold. According to their calculations, ninety percent was already a surplus.
Yun Yang threw the rest of the gold in the yard and returned to his room.
The cold moonlight illuminated the backyard of the Residence of Yun in a glistening yellow.
…
It was a quiet night.
On the second day, Ji Ling seemed to be angry. She stayed in her room to train the little Silvermoon Celestial Wolf, holding back her anger and refusing to come out to meet Yun Yang. Yun Yang was glad to have some peace and quiet. He first went to check on the heavily injured man, then he cultivated and practiced his saber.
The seeds of trouble had been sown, they would come at any time. Yun Yang had been prepared from this moment on.
…
Old Marshal Qiu Jianhan had just ended the morning assembly and returned to the Residence of Yun Yang with a heavy heart.
There was news from the imperial court that the Empire of Dongxuan and the Empire of Dayuan were restless. Their target was naturally the Empire of Yutang, the biggest piece of meat in the eyes of the other countries.
The war had been going on for so many years, it had almost never stopped. If the war were to break out this time, the Empire of Yutang would not be optimistic.
The old marshal heaved a long sigh.
"Marshal, something strange happened last night."
Sir Wang, the advisor of the Residence of Yun Yang and the old marshal's old friend, came in with a faint smile, his face calm and gentle. "What do you think it is?"
Old Marshal Qiu sighed. I am so frustrated right now, what is the point of guessing?
"What is it?"
Sir Wang could sense that the old marshal was not in a good mood today, so he did not keep the old marshal in suspense anymore. "Overnight, the entire Tiantang City was suddenly showered with gold rain again."
The old marshal's eyes shone. "Hmm?"
"At least more than half of the families of the eight hundred warriors who followed the Nine Supremes to war last year suddenly had a large amount of silver taels appear in their homes … When they woke up, the silver taels would appear and no one knew where they came from …"
Sir Wang spoke slowly.
"Once again, something like this has happened."
The old marshal's gaze was strange.
"Not only that, but there were also many families of martyrs and veterans who had silver as well, as if someone was distributing it." Sir Wang was beaming.
Old Marshal Qiu Jianhan's eyes shone even brighter. "Brother Wang, from what you see, is there a possibility that someone from the Nine Supremes is still alive?"
Sir Wang thought about it and said, "This incident … does not prove that someone from the Nine Supremes is still alive. But the possibility is very high. "
The old marshal's gaze dimmed when he heard the first half of the sentence, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, his gaze brightened again.
"However, this person obviously doesn't want to expose himself," Sir Wang said, weighing his words.
Qiu Jianhan sighed and said, "The death of the Nine Supremes is a huge conspiracy. Even with our nation's resources, we haven't found anything. If this person is really one of the Nine Supremes or someone related to the Nine Supremes, how would he, how would he dare to expose himself so easily?"
He waved his hand tiredly and said, "Let's follow the previous method. Don't care, don't ask. Then, wipe away all these traces!"
Sir Wang nodded. "Alright!"
"Let all the clues end here." The old marshal sighed, his voice sorrowful but resolute.
Sir Wang said, "I have already given the order."
"That's good."
The old marshal closed his eyes sadly and said softly, "Is there anyone among the nine of you still alive? If there is, even if you've been hiding and never appeared, I still hope that you can come and talk to me. "
"This old man misses all of you very much."
A few drops of tears seeped out from the corners of Old Marshal Qiu's tightly shut eyes.
Sir Wang sighed inwardly and retreated quietly. When he reached the door, he thought of something and said, "Marshal, about the mystical beast tournament that the noble families have chosen to hold in Tiantang City this time …"
Qiu Jianhan waved his hand with his eyes closed and said tiredly, "Let them be."
Sir Wang knew that Old Marshal Qiu was reluctant to say anything more, but he could not help saying, "I heard that Marquis Yun's young master, Yun Yang, had a conflict with the Ximen Family in the mystical beast market yesterday. He made a huge bet and won against the Ximen Family's young master, almost losing all his fortune."
Old Marshal Qiu Jianhan heaved a deep sigh. "Let them be about this. Marquis Yun's young master has never been law-abiding in Tiantang City all these years. Let Marquis Yun deal with this. "
Sir Wang thought about it and wanted to say that there was something fishy about the matter, but seeing how tired the old marshal was, he swallowed his words and retreated.
However, after today, he no longer paid attention to such trivialities. A popinjay young master of Tiantang City, a popinjay young master of the Ximen Family … What could he have done?
…
In the east wing, the sound of heavy breathing could be heard. It was the heavily injured man trying to regulate his breathing, trying to channel his mystical Qi to heal himself.
Yun Yang was not surprised by this, taking it all in stride.
Another door opened.
Lao Mei walked out with light steps.
"Have you broken through?"
"Not yet. But I've already taken that half step. "Lao Mei was excited." I can definitely break through within half a month! I want to accumulate more so that I can charge forward more when I break through. "
Yun Yang nodded.
Breaking through the bottleneck was only one aspect. As long as he had the feeling, it would not be difficult. More importantly, after breaking through the bottleneck, his cultivation base would welcome a huge leap.
As for this leap, it would depend on the accumulation before the breakthrough. After all, Yun Yang did not have the kind of spiritual medicine that could strengthen one's foundation and allow one to advance by leaps and bounds.
"Young master, the injured fellow … doesn't seem to be simple." Lao Mei lowered his voice.
"He is." Yun Yang nodded.
"Does young master want to … forge a good relationship?" Lao Mei asked tentatively, "Or … subdue him?"
Yun Yang flashed a cold smile. "This good karma can't be forged."
Lao Mei was puzzled.
Yun Yang shook his head with a smile. This man had risked his life and gone through so much to obtain four ninth level mystical beast cubs, but in the blink of an eye, they had fallen into Yun Yang's hands. How could such a good relationship be forged?
Once the other party regained his ability, he would probably return the favor with ingratitude and snatch the four cubs away.
"I only want to subdue him for my use." Yun Yang said honestly, "I'm short on manpower now."
Lao Mei asked, "What if you can't?"
Yun Yang looked at Lao Mei, a smile like spring water in his eyes as he said slowly, "What do you think?"
Lao Mei felt as if he had been blown by a snowy wind, a chill running from his bones to his skin.
"If young master wants to subdue him," Lao Mei suggested, "Now that he's severely injured and can't move, it's the best time to subdue him."
Yun Yang shook his head and said confidently, "Such methods are no longer suitable for such an expert. You have to use more ingenious methods. "
Yun Yang chuckled inwardly, "An expert who can enter and exit the mystical beast forest alone, an expert who can fight or possibly win against a ninth level mystical beast … how can he bow down to such worldly small favors?"
"Ingenious methods?" Lao Mei was stunned.
Yun Yang smiled. "The so-called life-saving grace is repaid by burning one's body … Lao Mei, such a scenario only exists in legends. Take you for example. Now that you're severely injured and on the brink of death, you've been saved by another person who treats you well and cares for you meticulously. Would you become his servant because of this? "
"So, legends are legends and stories are stories. As humans, we can't be so naive."
