"Isn't it disappointing for a prince of a nation to engage in such petty acts? I have two goals today. One is to walk around the crown prince's residence and do something; the other is to get rid of all of the third prince's lackeys! "
Yun Yang grinned. "Snatching a room is just to disgust them first. This is just the beginning, just the beginning. The main course hasn't been served yet … Come, come, let's drink. Our priority now is to drink and talk. Everything else will come later. "
Shangguan Lingxiu smiled sweetly, thinking to herself, 'I was right. He really has an ulterior motive. How could the almighty Supreme Cloud fool around like this? It's only reasonable that there's a deeper meaning behind this.'
Picking up the bowl of wine, he took a big gulp and said softly, "If possible, it would be best to beat this Third Prince to the point that he no longer has any intention of coveting the throne … Get rid of all the people that he relies on, once and for all, and there will be no future troubles."
Yun Yang chuckled dryly. "Of course I want to do that, once and for all, without any future troubles. It's a pity that it can't be done. We don't only have this prince. We must beat him up this time and we must beat him hard enough, but we must preserve a portion of his strength so that he can't stir up any more trouble, but he still hasn't given up on his evil intentions. "
"I still want to keep him as a qualified whetstone. Wouldn't it be a waste of space to make use of him if we beat him to death? Including the crown prince and the fourth prince, as well as the few princes who have yet to grow up but are already ambitious. All of them are useful whetstones. If we don't make the best use of them, wouldn't we be letting them off too easily? The royal family provides them with luxurious clothes and luxurious food, with such great authority, but they don't even get anything in return. Aren't they not human beings? "
Shangguan Lingxiu could not help but burst out laughing.
Yun Yang's words sounded ludicrous, but there was a deeper meaning in them. Shangguan Lingxiu could hear it clearly. It was not supposed to be funny, but when Yun Yang spoke, he winked at her, intentionally or unintentionally. It was so funny that she could not help but break into a smile.
"Actually, I have another matter to discuss with you today …" Shangguan Lingxiu's gaze fell on Yun Yang's face. She wanted to say something but hesitated. The emotion that flashed across her eyes was forcefully suppressed.
"Speak your mind. Hemming and hawing isn't your style, Sister Lingxiu," said Yun Yang.
"Old Great Mistress …" There was sorrow in Shangguan Lingxiu's eyes. "Old Great Mistress has been mentally and physically supporting the Family of Generals all these years. She's at the end of her life now … I don't want her to pass away just like this … but I can't find a way to prolong her life."
Yun Yang was silent for a moment.
His lifespan was nearing its end.
This was a person's destiny, a destiny that was difficult to change.
Even someone as strong as Feng Xiange, who had friends like Yun Yang, Supreme Cloud, Dugu Chou, Ling Xiaozui, and Heaven's Inquisition, it was difficult for him to come up with a solution to such a situation where his time was almost up.
What good idea could Shangguan Lingxiu have?
Defying the heavens and changing one's fate was never an easy task!
Shangguan Lingxiu's heart sank when she saw Yun Yang's silence. Her eyes were rimmed with tears as she spoke in a trembling voice, "I know … I know that Old Grand Commandant Fang has already … exhausted his lifespan. His condition is even worse than Old Mistress's. It was you who kept him alive, so I want to … please, please help."
Her eyes were focused on Yun Yang's face, almost pleading.
Yun Yang thought about it and explained softly, "Sister Lingxiu, it's not that I'm trying to shirk this responsibility. It's because Old Mistress, Old Grand Commandant Fang, and Old Marshal Qiu are in different states. The two old generals are in a precarious state, mainly because they've expended a large amount of qi and blood in the battlefield in the past. Now that both of their qi and blood are depleted, it's difficult for them to continue. As for my cultivation method, it's best to regenerate qi and blood. I've filled the two old sirs' bodies with my basic Qi to avert the crisis. Most importantly, the two old sirs aren't really at the end of their lifespan. That's why I've been able to extend their lives for a period of time. It doesn't mean that I can reverse the flow of life and death and extend their lifespan. "
"However, the Matriarch's condition is not like this. From what I know, although the Matriarch is skilled in martial arts, she rarely goes to war, and her body does not have many injuries. However, over the years, the grievous news of her parents, husband, children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren … people dying on the battlefield continuously spread … causing the Matriarch to suffer too many mental blows. Ordinary people who are injured only expend their Qi and blood, but for the Matriarch, she expends her heart and blood!"
"Old Mistress's heart and soul have really been drained!"
Yun Yang sighed and said, "In fact, I've checked on Old Mistress's physical condition many times when I went to the Residence of Shangguan previously. However, since Sister Lingxiu has spoken this time, I'll go again no matter what and try my best. I dare not guarantee whether it'll be effective or how effective it will be."
Shangguan Lingxiu was delighted. "As long as you're willing to go, everything will be fine."
Both of them had settled the matter. Shangguan Lingxiu was overjoyed and began to urge Yun Yang to drink. It was as if in her heart, there was nothing that could not be done as long as Yun Yang went.
Supreme Cloud, the Nine Supremes' think tank, was already a god in the hearts of Yutang's people. He was omnipotent and Shangguan Lingxiu knew too well how capable Yun Yang was. Naturally, she had high hopes.
Yun Yang chuckled bitterly.
If he could reconnect with Emmie now, Old Mistress's matter would not be a big deal. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he could settle it with a wave of his hand.
The problem now, however, was that he had yet to recover!
If he were to rely on the Endless Divine Art to comb through the meridians, it would only be like what Yun Yang had said just now. At most, he could only delay it for a period of time. When the endless spiritual Qi that had been infused into her body was exhausted, it would be the end of it.
Furthermore, although such a method could be used repeatedly, the effect would be worse each time and the duration would be shorter. Yun Yang could not stay in the Residence of Shangguan all the time.
This was the crux of the matter.
At this moment, footsteps could be heard coming from outside. Someone was walking up the stairs, walking towards them unhurriedly.
From the sound of the footsteps, there were only three people.
Yun Yang glanced at Shangguan Lingxiu. Both of them did not speak and waited quietly for the arrival of the person.
Dong, dong, dong …
Someone knocked on the door.
A voice that was as gentle as the spring breeze, tinged with a hint of laughter, rang from outside. "Is it Young Master Yun inside? This humble king has come to meet you."
It was the third prince.
A cold smirk hung on the corners of Yun Yang's lips as he spoke lazily, "Third Prince is here. Do you want me to get out of here? If you have the intention, why don't you come in and give it a try? "
The carefree laughter outside did not stop as the door opened. The third prince walked in leisurely and said with a hearty laugh, "How would this humble king dare to let Brother Yun out of here? It's just that we haven't seen each other for a long time, so I've come to have a drink with Brother Yun. What do you think? "
The third prince thought that he was already very approachable and courteous.
He even believed that even if Yun Yang did not have a good impression of him, it was still possible for him to sit down and have a chat or have a glass of wine since he had said so. One should not slap a smiling person – this was how it had always been since ancient times.
As long as he was allowed to sit down, it would not be difficult for him to get closer to Yun Yang and even establish a relationship.
All he needed was a starting point. As long as he could achieve this goal, what was the big deal if a few of his subordinates were humiliated? Even if Yun Yang killed a few of them, it would not be a big deal.
This was a relationship with the Carefree King, who was extremely popular at the moment!
… …
Actually, Shangguan Lingxiu's request was not about this … but I went to the toilet and couldn't remember what I wanted to write when I came back.
The speechlessness was depressing!
