His Majesty sucked in a deep breath, his expression grim. "Seize the time to look for bits and pieces of records in the books. I thought that this incident was still the Four Seasons Tower's doing and that the ultimate goal was to force the survivors of the Nine Supremes to show themselves and target them, but now it seems that my judgment was wrong. The target this time might not be the Nine Supremes, but Yutang itself!"
Marquis Yun was a smart man as well. Many thoughts popped into his head at once. Both of them were enlightened at the same time, and their search for the secret records sped up.
"Then Yun Yang … are you sure he's not Supreme Cloud?" His Majesty asked abruptly.
The Emperor of Yutang was still worried about this matter. The topic had long passed, but it was now brought back, whether it was intentional or not.
"I'm sure he's not. He's really not." Marquis Yun said seriously, "I'll use our father's name as a guarantee this time. I've checked carefully and confirmed that he's not Supreme Cloud! "
His Majesty was extremely disappointed. "If that's the case, things will be troublesome … It's not easy to find a more definite suspect …"
The topic ended there.
"When Supreme Cloud brings my grandson here, I'll leave the child with you first." His Majesty said matter-of-factly, "I initially planned to leave him with Old Marshal Qiu, but Old Qiu is unconscious now and we don't know when he'll regain his consciousness. The original plan is inconvenient, so I'll leave him with you first. Your place is safe and stable enough anyway, especially convenient for the child to build his foundation."
Marquis Yun opened his mouth and said, "It's easy to leave him with me, but … how do I announce his identity to the public?"
His Majesty looked at him strangely. "Royal eldest grandson! The eldest prince's son, the direct descendant of the royal bloodline. Is there still a need to hide this? "
Marquis Yun was instantly enraged and cried out in grief, "Yu Peize, how vicious you are! You didn't release a child for me, you released a volcano for me! I don't object to you letting him return to his ancestry, but what do you mean by leaving him with me after that? Aren't your sons going to use my Marquis's Mansion as a battlefield?! "
His Majesty's gaze was icy. "That's exactly what I want to see."
Marquis Yun was exasperated. "F * cking plotting against me like this, was it also arranged by my father before he passed away?"
His Majesty looked at him meaningfully and said, "You speak as if you can change the blood vessels in your body …"
Marquis Yun was infuriated, overwhelmed with grief and indignation. "I'm the younger one and should be taken care of. Why am I always cleaning up after you? How could there be such logic in this world? You said that an elder brother is like a father. Is this what you mean by an elder brother is like a father?! "
His Majesty straightened up and said seriously, "Yes, an elder brother is like a father. As a younger brother, shouldn't you be as filial to your elder brother as you are to your own father? This is the nature of human relationships! "
Marquis Yun's eyes bulged as he prostrated himself on the ground. "Boss … An elder brother is like a father. How can human nature be explained this way?"
His Majesty guffawed and said seriously, "Xiaoyao, this matter concerns the heritage of our bloodline and the greatness of the royal family. It also concerns the wish of our Yu Family's ancestors … Brother, you must help me …"
He sighed and said, "I wouldn't be at ease if I placed the child anywhere else … Only by placing him in your residence can I be at ease. There are many experts in your residence, it's safe. Just like you said, no one can stop you from doing anything in the whole of Yutang …"
"Other than your residence, there's no safe place in the whole of Yutang. Even if the child were to be brought into the palace and placed by my side, I wouldn't be at ease. If that were to happen, the child might die in less than three days. Can you bear to see that happen? The child is my biological grandson and also your grandnephew …"
Marquis Yun could not help falling silent.
He had to admit that His Majesty was speaking the truth, a truth that he had to acknowledge as well.
Even though he was the emperor who ruled over the world and held the power of life and death in his hands, he still could not protect the child's safety even in his palace!
Starting from this topic, the two brothers suddenly fell silent.
Amidst the silence in the room, everyone could feel that a storm of blood was brewing bit by bit.
At least eighty percent of the inevitable storm of blood would come from the bodies of the royals …
…
"I found it … Take a look and see if it's this."
Marquis Yun grabbed a tattered animal skin book. Just by looking at the material of the book, one could tell that it was an item from many years ago.
His Majesty moved his head closer to take a closer look.
"The School of Kismet State!"
"Rumor has it that there's a mysterious school in the Tianxuan Continent that controls the rise and fall of the world. Almost every thousand years, its successor will appear and roam the martial world. After ten thousand years of training, a Map of Kismet State has been accumulated; it protects the world and brings peace to the people. Tianxuan is unified and recuperates. "
"Kismet State rules the world; it controls the rise and fall of the world, its success and failure; it enforces justice on behalf of heaven and chooses its master on behalf of heaven. It rules the world with a single thought; it commands the universe and no one dares disobey."
"The executor of Kismet State is the top immortal of Tianxuan …"
There were only a few hundred words recorded in the animal skin book.
However, with just a few hundred words, His Majesty and Marquis Yun could understand the cause of the current change the moment they read it.
Immortal Dahuang must be from the School of Kismet State. As for the mysterious person who had captured Immortal Dahuang, it was very likely that he was the executor of Kismet State!
This person had also chosen Dongxuan as the final winner of this world.
"This is it!"
His Majesty heaved a soft sigh of relief, his gaze gleaming with a chilling gleam.
Marquis Yun was silent, but his will to fight was burning fiercely.
The executor of Kismet State?
If he was destined to stand against Yutang, even if he was the executor of Kismet State, there was no harm in fighting him!
"From today onwards, spread out your men to collect all the information related to the School of Kismet State!"
His Majesty said faintly, "We fight the world with our saber and spear. Why should we be stopped with just a word from others? Absolutely preposterous, absolutely preposterous! I vow to fight to the end, even if I die! "
Marquis Yun said faintly, "Worst comes to worst, it will be a life-and-death struggle. That's all!"
Both brothers chuckled as they looked at each other. The atmosphere was unprecedentedly harmonious.
"When our Yu Family's Old Ancestor obtained Yutang, it wasn't by abdication, but by fighting his way through mountains of blades and oceans of fire. Perhaps our foundation is a little shallow and we can't obtain the so-called legacy of the School of Kismet State, but there's no need to complain. Now, we still don't need the School of Kismet State's acknowledgement!"
"They will never acknowledge it!"
"If so, let's do it."
…
It had been a busy night.
His Majesty felt his head aching as well, his shoulders, neck, and waist were uncomfortable. However, when he saw Marquis Yun walk out, His Majesty felt incredibly relaxed and refreshed.
At this moment, he truly felt that he had never felt so relaxed.
There was also an indescribable joy in his mood!
"This is what brothers are like!" His Majesty murmured in delight.
Last night, both brothers had been each other's trash cans, pouring out all the negative emotions in their hearts without hesitation.
The feeling was exhilarating.
"Luckily, I have you to accompany me in this world." His Majesty said emotionally, "Otherwise … I would really be alone."
His Majesty's words were absolutely correct.
These words and actions could only be said and done in front of Marquis Yun.
Looking at the world today, he could not do it in front of anyone else other than Marquis Yun.
Not even Qiu Jianhan, whom His Majesty regarded as his absolute confidant and who was sometimes more important than a biological brother!
…
Marquis Yun walked out of the palace with a smile on his face.
Although he was about to face countless troubles that were bigger than the sky, he was in a good mood. Anyone could see it with a glance. He was also refreshed and elated.
"I feel so good!"
"Old man, although the things you did weren't that great and were extremely unfair to me, but … with him treating me like this, my life is enough."
…
…
I need to apply for leave tomorrow. My eyes have been red and swollen for the past seven to eight days. There's a prickling feeling in the depths of my eye sockets after the recent surgery two days ago, like the feeling when my eyelashes pierced into my eyes previously. It's very uncomfortable. I'll go to the provincial hospital for a checkup tomorrow and get some medicine.
I'm sorry, I haven't been updating in time and the amount is not much. However, my body is like this. Even if I have the strength, I can't use it …
I can only hope that I'll get better soon.
