Yun Yang returned to the Residence of Yun, feeling melancholy. The Medallion of Gratitude was stuck to his chest, but it made his heart feel like it was burning.
"I hope that we can meet again in the future." Yun Yang's gaze was resolute. "I'll definitely let you enjoy your life in peace!"
"Old Sir, you must take care."
He stepped into the house and before he could adjust his emotions, he saw Lao Mei looking at him strangely.
There was another person standing in the yard with his back facing him.
Yun Yang's gaze flashed, knowing immediately.
"Lao Mei, you may leave," Marquis Yun said softly.
"Yes."
Although Lao Mei was curious about the relationship between this' father and son 'and wanted to stay for a look, Marquis Yun had asked him to leave, so he had no choice but to do so.
"You're back. How did it go?" Yun Yang smiled relaxedly.
"Not bad, it went smoothly." Marquis Yun smiled casually as well and turned to look at Yun Yang with an odd gaze. "I've killed the leaders of the eight barbarian tribes in the southern wasteland. Now, at least in the southwest, there's no leader. "
Yun Yang sighed, his gaze turning odd as well.
I was just asking. This is your own matter, why are you telling me?
I didn't ask you to do these things …
"How have you been recently?" Marquis Yun asked.
"I'm alright, still the same." Yun Yang said casually, "Anyway, I'm living a carefree life."
Marquis Yun smiled. "As long as you don't cause trouble."
Yun Yang laughed and said, "Are you going out again now that you're back?"
Marquis Yun frowned and said, "I'm going to the grassland in a few days."
The grassland.
Yun Yang hummed and said, "The grassland is not like the southern wasteland. There are countless experts there. You have to be careful. "
"Of course."
This was a strange pair of father and son. The father did not act like a father, and the son did not act like a son. Instead, they were like a pair of friends who treated each other with respect and treated each other like guests. They met by chance and exchanged a few words indifferently.
After exchanging a few words, the two of them actually felt that there was nothing left to say.
"I'm going to sleep," Yun Yang said.
"Go. Oh, right. There's something I'd like to ask you." Marquis Yun called out to Yun Yang, "Actually, I've always been curious about your identity. Ever since you saved my life outside the Great Wall three years ago, I knew that you were definitely not an ordinary person. "
"But … who are you?" There was extreme confusion in Marquis Yun's gaze. "Back then, you asked me to arrange this identity for you and said that you would tell me the reason after three years. It has been three years now."
Yun Yang was stunned for a moment before he chuckled bitterly and said, "Marquis Yun is a wealthy man of leisure. Besides, almost no one knows that Marquis Yun's true identity is that of the late emperor's son … He is His Majesty's biological brother."
Marquis Yun snorted.
"Therefore, although Marquis Yun has always roamed the martial world and never entered the imperial court, he has always been doing things for the benefit of the Empire of Yutang. When His Majesty was attacked by an assassin back then, Marquis Yun didn't lend a helping hand because it was a coincidence. He had been paying close attention to his brother, so he was able to act in time. "
"Because of this, His Majesty had an excuse to confer you the title of Marquis of Heavenly Clouds. When the late emperor named you Xiaoyao, it was because he didn't want you to interfere with the imperial court … "
"However, Marquis Yun was framed when he was in danger three years ago. It was also at that time that I coincidentally lent Marquis Yun a hand. I even asked for the identity of Marquis Yun's son in return for the favor. "
Yun Yang said, "I said that I would tell you the truth three years later. I have said this before."
Marquis Yun looked at him with a burning gaze.
Marquis Yun believed that Yun Yang's sudden words were not spoken casually. Since he had said it at such a critical juncture, there must be a reason for it.
"Marquis Yun is wholeheartedly for Yutang. No one can deny this." Yun Yang said calmly, "There is one similarity between Marquis Yun and me. We live as Yutang's man and die as Yutang's ghost."
Marquis Yun's expression lightened slightly.
"However, I still can't tell you the whole truth. Now … is not the time. " Yun Yang lifted his head, his eyes looking straight at Marquis Yun. "I can only tell you that I am related to the Nine Heavens Dictum."
Marquis Yun jolted.
His gaze was abruptly heated as his attitude turned respectful. "The Nine Heavens Dictum of the Nine Supremes Lords?"
Yun Yang's gaze flickered. "I am a spy. It is enough for Marquis Yun to know this."
A spy!
Marquis Yun understood tacitly.
A spy of the Nine Heavens Dictum. That meant that no one must ever know about it.
"I understand." Marquis Yun said, "If there is anything, I can help."
Yun Yang said, "If there is really something, I won't be courteous. But now, or perhaps for a very long time, I still need this identity. "
"I understand."
Marquis Yun's gaze was burning. "Since it is the Nine Supremes Lords' business, it is the Empire of Yutang's business as well. Don't worry. Even if I, Yun Xiaoyao, am crushed, I will never reveal this secret."
Yun Yang nodded and said softly, "However, Marquis Yun has to be careful. His Majesty's children have grown up … they have begun to have their own thoughts. So, Marquis Yun …"
Marquis Yun sighed and nodded lightly.
Yun Yang sighed as well.
A spy of the Nine Heavens Dictum.
Now, he had to dispel any doubts in Marquis Yun's heart. That was why Yun Yang had created such an identity for himself. In addition, Yun Yang believed that this Marquis Yun would never reveal his secret.
Secondly, even if Marquis Yun revealed his identity as a spy of the Nine Heavens Dictum, Yun Yang had countless ways to escape.
Therefore, he had no qualms.
"Go to the grassland in a few days?"
"Ten days later."
"That's good. We can avoid the capital's whirlpool."
"Mm, but before we go, we still have to meet His Majesty." Marquis Yun said with a frown, "The princes are causing so much trouble. The Empire of Yutang is already in a precarious situation … How can anything good happen if this goes on? We have to restrain ourselves. "
Yun Yang smiled faintly but did not speak.
He thought to himself, "His Majesty is worried sick about this now. Aren't you adding fuel to the fire by saying this?" It looked like Marquis Yun did not have much of a political brain.
After a few words, Marquis Yun took out a parcel from his robe and said, "I met a ferocious beast by accident when I was in the southern border. After I defeated it, I found out that this fellow was guarding a stalk of blood-colored lingzhi mushroom. I consumed half of it and my cultivation base surged from the eighth level pinnacle to the ninth heaven …"
"This is the other half." Marquis Yun said, "I know there's something wrong with your body. When you saved me three years ago, you were already at the third heaven pinnacle of mystical Qi. Now, you're actually not even at the third heaven … Perhaps this can help you."
Yun Yang was silent for a moment. Feeling Emmie's restlessness, he wanted to reject it but nodded and said, "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Marquis Yun patted his shoulder gently. "I'll enter the palace early tomorrow morning and visit a few friends' houses in the afternoon. I won't be home for these few days."
Yun Yang said, "Then meet me before you leave."
"Alright."
If the conversation between this' father and son 'pair had been overheard by others, their eyes would have popped out of their sockets.
Just as Yun Yang was about to leave, he suddenly thought of something. "Does His Majesty know about me?" He recalled their meeting in the Residence of Old Marshal that night.
If His Majesty knew the truth, he would not have treated him with such an attitude.
As expected, Marquis Yun answered, "He doesn't know. Since I've promised you, this secret can only be known by the two of us in this world! "
"That's good."
…
Yun Yang returned to his room and went to rest.
Marquis Yun stood outside in the night, his gaze fixed on a flowering tree beside him. A thoughtful look flashed across his eyes.
"Spy?"
He smiled faintly, his thoughts racing. According to Lao Mei's observation, Yun Yang was related to the Nine Heavens Dictum. This was without a doubt. However, his status should be a little higher than that …
What his identity was, he couldn't be sure.
Besides, this fellow's cautiousness had reached the peak of perfection.
Lao Mei was the only person by his side who could be used in the open. However, he was still able to keep Lao Mei in the dark even after everything had been done … This kind of wisdom was both admirable and terrifying.
He pondered for a moment.
Then, he went to Lao Mei's room.
"Lao Mei, follow Young Master Yun Yang wholeheartedly from now on." Marquis Yun said faintly with his arms behind his back, "There's no need to report to me if there's anything else."
Lao Mei replied, "Yes, young master."
Marquis Yun sighed. "Back then, the three of you roamed the martial world with me. Now, you're the only one left. Following Yun Yang will give you a more stable life, unlike following me, wandering from place to place."
Lao Mei's eyes were moist. "Young master, Mei Wenjian won't regret it even if he dies."
"I know, but I'm afraid I'll never be able to settle down in this lifetime …" Marquis Yun sighed slowly. "Yun Yang is a man who does great things. Follow him. I trust you, and I trust him. "
Lao Mei blinked and asked in a daze, "Young master, is Young Master Yun Yang really not your son?"
Marquis Yun chuckled bitterly. "I really want to make this a reality and acknowledge him as my son, but it's obviously impossible."
Lao Mei sighed.
…
When Yun Yang returned to his room, his emotions were as calm as still water. When the four children saw him, one of them crawled out from under the blanket, another from somewhere on top of the bed, another from the beam, and the last one crawled out from a book on Yun Yang's table.
"Meow …"
"Meow, meow, meow …"
Yun Yang almost laughed out loud.
These little critters were really good at hiding. How could a cat be hidden in a book on the table? Yun Yang went over to open it and saw that the middle portion of the foot-thick "The Biography of Tianxuan Continent's Emperors, Generals, and Ministers" had been eaten away. Closing the book, it was still a good book.
However, when he opened it, there was a large hole! Moreover, the shape was similar to the shape of a cat lying on its stomach, fitting seamlessly into the book.
"F * ck!"
Yun Yang was dumbfounded. They were really good at hiding!
Pulling open the claws of the three Eclipse Panthers, he could see that their claws were as sharp as knives and spears, gleaming with a cold glint. He ordered, "Grab one from this chair and let me have a look."
"Swoosh!"
Swoosh!
One of the little critters the size of a fist thought that its owner was playing a game with it. It waved its paw excitedly and a hole the size of a cat's paw appeared precisely on the sturdy rosewood chair.
"Hey!"
