I like to use my brain, I like to solve things with wisdom. But when I can solve something with strength, I never use my brain.
– Yun Yang's Quote.
… …
"Let's not talk about wine, a man must draw his saber when he's in the world!"
Yun Yang recited slowly and raised his goblet to the air. A goblet of wine that was as red as blood fell into his stomach. His gaze was cold and deep.
He was dressed in a deep purple robe, sitting quietly and lazily on a chair under the orchid stand in the courtyard. His gaze seemed to be on the orchids that covered half of the courtyard, but it also seemed to have penetrated the space of this world and landed in another realm.
His facial features were like meticulously carved jade. His delicate eyebrows were curved, and his deep, pitch-black eyes were like two bottomless pools. His eyelids were not very clear, and his nose was straight and slightly tilted. His lips were small and not too thick. When he was not talking, he was like a rose that was about to bloom.
His face was like a piece of exquisite, flawless jade. His long black hair was casually tied up on his head, strands of hair fluttering on both sides of his face and the back of his head. As the breeze caressed him, there was a sense of detachment from the mortal world, a sense of solitude.
His entire face exuded the elegance of a woman.
It could even be said that ninety-nine percent of the women in this world would not have such exquisite facial features as his.
However, such elegant facial features, when placed on his face, gave off a cold and austere feeling. He was like a cold god above the clouds, disdainful of all the joys and sorrows of the mortal world.
Although his body was a little thin and his face was slightly pale, it added a strange, melancholic charm to him.
Yun Yang seemed to like this saying very much, so he could not help repeating it again, "Let's not talk about wine, a man must draw his saber when he's in the world!" Finishing his words, he raised his goblet to the air again as if inviting someone, and drained it in one gulp.
There was a deep sadness on his face, a deep pain flashing in the depth of his eyes.
At this moment, his gaze suddenly turned as sharp as a blade.
The sharpness was fleeting, but the blooming orchids in front of him suddenly trembled and floated down, wilting before they even landed on the ground.
Yun Yang's gaze dimmed after the sharp glare. He did not know when he would be able to recover his cultivation. There were too many things waiting for him to do, but there was not a drop of his cultivation left.
Footsteps could be heard behind him.
"Young Master." An old man stood respectfully behind him.
Yun Yang did not turn around. "Lao Mei, what is it?"
The old man stood up straight. Every time he stood behind his young master, there was always a sense of respect that came from the bottom of his heart. Although his young master had yet to recover from his serious injuries and had lost his cultivation base, he was so weak that it seemed like he could be blown away by a gust of wind. However, he gave off a feeling that no matter who it was, he was inviolable.
This feeling was very strange. It seemed to come from nowhere, but it was real.
"There are two things." Lao Mei said succinctly, "The first incident was the military's sudden action. They raided the house of Wu Wenyuan, the Imperial Censor of the Left, and the houses of a few officials from the Censorate. It was said that Old Marshal Qiu Jianhan had personally ordered for the military elites to be deployed. Wu Wenyuan's entire family was captured in one fell swoop and Wu Wenyuan was sent to the prison."
Yun Yang did not speak, only listening.
There was nothing strange about this incident. It was only the fall of a high official of the imperial court. In the Empire of Yutang, such an incident was not worthy of Lao Mei's special report. He knew that there must be more to it.
Lao Mei would definitely say it.
"Wu Wenyuan is someone we've been keeping an eye on for half a year. Therefore, when the house was raided, this old servant made some arrangements. In the end, we found that there was a secret chamber hidden in Wu Wenyuan's secret chamber. After the people who raided the house left, this old servant went there personally and retrieved the item hidden in the secret chamber."
The military had captured an imperial court official; Lao Mei had been able to enter and find the secret chamber's secret under everyone's watchful eyes. He had even retrieved the item from the most heavily guarded place.
However, Yun Yang was not at all surprised by this.
Lao Mei said, "There was a token, a jade pendant, a medicinal pill, and a beast core inside."
Yun Yang frowned.
Lao Mei quickly said, "There are seven words written on the token – A year's plan begins in spring! The jade pendant is carved with the words' Tenth of the first month '. The medicinal pill is the Life Replenishing Pill from the Hall of Elixir while the beast core is the mystical core of a sixth level mystical beast, the Green-headed Eagle. "
"Wu Wenyuan's crime is … treason, suspected of involvement in the Battle of the Nine Supremes at Tianxuan Cliff," Lao Mei finished.
Yun Yang did not make a sound, but Lao Mei could clearly see that when he heard the words' Tianxuan Cliff ', Yun Yang's body shuddered.
Lao Mei could feel the temperature around him dropping continuously as a chill seeped out from the depths of his heart and permeated the small courtyard.
Countless orchids suddenly fell without any wind; it was as if the entire courtyard was raining petals.
After a long time, Yun Yang said, "Bring Wu Wenyuan here. I'll interrogate him myself! "
Wu Wenyuan was now in the Board of Punishment's prison, how could he bring him here?
However, Lao Mei agreed without hesitation, "Yes." He then said, "Young master, I heard that the Board of Military wants to use the heads of Wu Wenyuan and the other traitors as a sacrifice to the Nine Supremes."
Hearing the two words' Nine Supremes', Yun Yang paled as if his heart had been stabbed with a knife. He twitched in pain and said, "I know what I'm doing."
Lao Mei replied, "Yes."
"What is the second matter?" asked Yun Yang.
"Yes … we're out of money." Lao Mei said awkwardly, "We still have tens of thousands of silver taels left. I estimate that we can only last until tomorrow night."
Yun Yang nodded and said, "Understood."
"Lunch is ready."
"Got it."
Lao Mei had already retreated.
A hint of ruthlessness slowly crept into Yun Yang's face. "Nian! A year's plan begins in spring! On the tenth day of the first month … Are you guys finally going to appear? "
A faint smile appeared on his face.
However, if others were to see his current smile, they would definitely be shocked.
This faint smile seemed to contain a murderous aura that could fill mountains of corpses and seas of blood! It was as if the gates of hell had opened and thousands of ghosts were coming out!
…
At the dining table.
It was a mountain of profound beast meat. A burst of fragrance assailed the nostrils. However, this amount was a little too much.
At a rough estimate, there were at least forty to fifty kilograms.
Yun Yang sighed and started eating.
Lao Mei coughed and turned away.
At this time of the day, it was the last thing he wanted to see. His young master, who had always been as elegant and noble as a man from a painting, eating such a huge amount of meat alone!
Although his young master's table manners were not ugly, on the contrary, they were filled with elegance. But … there was a total of fifty-six kilograms of mystical beast meat!
How much appetite did he have?
Ever since his young master had returned a year ago, riddled with injuries, his appetite had suddenly become terrifying.
It was jaw-dropping.
A meal of mystical beast meat that was filled with spiritual Qi had to be at least dozens of kilograms. A meal of mystical beast meat cost eight thousand silver taels!
If this went on, he would not be able to sustain it.
Moreover, there were other large expenses.
What had happened to his young master?
As he pondered, he heard his young master say, "Send invitations to Ma, Liu, Zhang, and Ling. Tonight, I will be hosting a banquet at Sky Inn."
The corners of Lao Mei's mouth twitched as he said, "Yes."
Behind him, Yun Yang ate the last piece of mystical beast meat and tossed the Hall of Elixir's Life Replenishing Pill into his mouth. After some thought, he also tossed the seventh level mystical beast's mystical pill into his mouth.
Just these two items alone were priceless.
"Seventy percent full."
Yun Yang said.
Lao Mei's face twitched violently.
…
An invitation card.
It caused the young masters of the seven families to howl in anger in the courtyards where they stayed.
"I'm not going!"
"I have no money!"
"Whoever goes is a bastard!"
"This bastard, he's treating again. Oh my god … what should I do?"
"Oh my God, please strike him down with lightning … This vampire … Whenever I have money, he'll treat me to a meal …"
"Father, give me some money, Yun Yang is treating again …"
"… F * ck!"
…
As night fell, Yun Yang went out.
Lao Mei followed beside him, following his every step.
In the twilight, Yun Yang's robe seemed to be black, but it also seemed to be dark blue. As he walked, there was a faint iciness and alienation that belonged to the black, but there was also a hint of mystery in the dark blue. As his sleeves fluttered, a trace of elegant and noble dreamy purple shimmered faintly.
He strolled along the street, elegant and suave.
He walked very slowly, unable to exert any strength due to his internal injuries. Every step he took caused his internal organs to ache as if they were on fire. However, there was a faint smile on his face.
It was as if this bone-piercing pain could make him remember something, to remember something. Only then would he feel better.
Lao Mei followed behind him, looking at his young master's back, but he could clearly feel a sense of alienation and loneliness that did not belong to this worldly realm.
Sky Inn.
The most luxurious inn in the Empire of Yutang's capital city, Tiantang City.
Now, the people in the inn were rather surprised.
There were seven young masters dressed lavishly in the lobby. All seven of them were frequent customers of this Sky Inn. Every time they came, they were beaming with pride and arrogance.
However, now …
The seven young masters dressed lavishly looked resentful, sighing as if they were mourning the death of their parents. A few of them were still cursing and swearing; they were full of indignation and indignation …
What was going on?
Just as they were wondering.
A silhouette flashed by the door, a silhouette was already standing at the door.
When the lanterns were lit, the light shone on this person's face. Everyone's eyes lit up!
The light shone on half of his face, giving off a breathtaking feeling of 'such a character is rare in this world'.
The waitresses lowered their heads at the same time. Their beautiful eyes glowed with brilliance, and they felt as if their hearts were beating wildly. Their faces immediately turned crimson.
This young master … is really … handsome! If only I could …
The silhouette at the door was strolling in slowly. As he walked, his dark purple robe that was almost black blue spilled out a regal and dreamy aura.
"Haha, all my good friends are here indeed. How gracious." Yun Yang smiled gracefully. "Please, please come in and have a seat. We haven't seen each other for a long time. This time, let's have a good drink. "
One of the young masters gritted his teeth and said, "Young Master Yun, we won't be drinking wine. Just say it, how much do you want this time? "
Yun Yang smiled gracefully and tilted his head slightly, speaking amicably, "Why … Young Master Ma, are you not giving me face? You don't even want to drink a cup of wine?
Young Master Ma paled and said quickly, "No, I didn't say that. Who dares not give Young Master Yun face? Haha … "
As he spoke, he signaled the others with his eyes.
"Yes, yes, Young Master Yun's face is more important than the heavens. This glass of wine must be drunk." The Young Masters nodded their heads repeatedly with forced smiles on their faces. Their laughter was like the laughter of ducks strangled by their necks, dry and suffocating, and unpleasant to hear.
Yun Yang smiled gently. "If that's the case, please."
"Please!"
"Please!"
The young masters responded enthusiastically and walked up the stairs harmoniously. As they turned around, their faces were twisted as if they were about to cry.
Good heavens.
They actually wanted to drink wine this time. They had never been treated so well in the past.
However, they did not know how much this glass of wine was worth.
Lao Mei stood behind Yun Yang, not saying a word or moving a muscle, his face expressionless.
"Once upon a time, there was a rabbit who got drunk one day and actually killed a bear …" Yun Yang told a joke in a light tone. It was not funny, but the seven young masters laughed as if they had heard the funniest joke in the world.
"Young Master Yun's joke is superb … I shall live on this joke for the next half a year …"
"I think I'll laugh whenever I think about it for the next year …"
"I'm dying of laughter, my stomach hurts …"
Yun Yang nodded with a smile. "Looks like everyone welcomes me very much."
"Of course!" Young Master Zhang said quickly, "If someone doesn't welcome someone like Young Master Yun, that would really be … unappreciative!"
The young masters nodded like chickens pecking at grains. "Yes, yes. Whoever doesn't welcome Young Master Yun is a bastard. "
They looked at each other and thought to themselves, "Motherf * cker, all six of them are bastards! Me too … Whoever would welcome this guy … is the real bastard! "
After three rounds of wine and five courses of food.
Yun Yang coughed and said, "Since all my brothers are here, I have something to say. I'm a little embarrassed … "
Young Master Ma said as if he was about to cry, "Please speak, Young Master Yun."
"Since everyone welcomes me so much, I'll be straightforward." Yun Yang smiled sheepishly and said, "Money has been a little tight recently, so I've asked my brothers to think of something."
The seven young masters' faces turned bitter at the same time. "I wonder how much Young Master Yun needs?"
Yun Yang looked at the dishes on the table and sighed, "Today's meal is not cheap …"
Before he could finish, Young Master Qin had already interjected, "It's just a meal, how can we let Young Master Yun spend money? Let me, let me! "
Yun Yang nodded. "Young Master Qin is indeed righteous. It would be impolite to refuse."
Young Master Qin looked bitter. "Not at all, we're all brothers."
"Yes, I told a joke before the meal. Everyone thinks that it can sustain a year of happiness." Yun Yang said, "Actually, I don't need much this time. Seven million silver taels, I think, will be enough to sustain the brothers until the next joke …"
The seven young masters' faces were ashen.
Seven million silver taels? One million each?
What kind of joke would be worth so much?
Young Master Ma said with a bitter face, "Young Master Yun, it's not that I don't want to take it, but now … the family's business is suffering losses, it's not good in all aspects …"
Before he could finish, Yun Yang looked up and smiled at him, saying, "You take two million."
"I …" Young Master Ma's expression froze. "This …"
"Two million is too little?" Yun Yang said, "Then three …"
"Not at all, not at all …" Young Master Ma cut him off quickly with a bitter face, "Two million it is, it's a deal. Young Master Yun, let me toast to you."
He raised the goblet and downed it in one go. When the wine entered his mouth, it tasted like goldthread.
He felt like an idiot. One million it was, why did he have to say so much?
The other six looked at Young Master Ma sympathetically, gloating at his misfortune. Serves you right!
'Who asked you to talk too much?'
"I like friends like Young Master Ma. Forthright, loyal, and bright!" Yun Yang said admiringly, "Who would complain about having too many friends like this?"
Young Master Ma looked like he had just eaten feces. The other six young masters looked equally amused.
"Then, the other six brothers, I'm sure you don't think one million is too little?" Yun Yang asked with a smile.
"Not at all, not at all, not at all." The seven young masters felt like crying.
Today's joke was really expensive.
They had known that they would have to spend a lot of money this time, but they had never expected it to be so much crueler than the previous times!
