Until they returned, Dugu Chou, a pinnacle expert who had been unrivaled in this world for centuries, was still in a daze.
The three of them had traveled much faster than the rest.
In addition, the three of them were preoccupied with their own thoughts and did not speak along the way. Yun Yang was counting his gains, reveling in them as he did so. His heart and mouth were beaming with joy, his face glowing as he walked.
Ling Xiaozui was also combing through his gains. His improvement this time was significant, equivalent to at least half of a sixty-year cycle of cultivation. However, his cultivation base was already at the pinnacle of this world. What could he do to push his cultivation base and combat power to the next level? This was a problem that needed to be solved urgently!
Dugu Chou, on the other hand, was burdened with worries. What should he do after this? How could he hope to fulfill his long-cherished wish?
…
At the entrance of the Residence of Yun.
Ji Lingxi was standing there, watching with her head raised. Anxiety and worry were written all over her pretty face. Beside her was Shangguan Lingxiu, who looked equally worried.
Both of them wanted to go to the Residence of Nine Supremes to see what was going on, but Yun Xiaoyao would not allow it.
Yun Yang alone is already worrying enough. If the two of you were to go over as well, with so many experts and almost all the pinnacle experts gathered at this critical juncture … just the safety issue alone would scare the wits out of us if the two of you were to go over.
'No going! '
With Yun Yang's father, Yun Xiaoyao's strong objection, the two girls, who knew that the situation was against them, could only wait by the door obediently.
Lao Mei and Fang Mofei, on the other hand, were much calmer than the rest. They even scoffed at Yun Xiaoyao and the others' anxiousness.
Danger?
That was impossible!
That was Lord Supreme Cloud we were talking about. What danger could Supreme Cloud possibly face? This must be another fortuitous encounter!
When he was still so weak, he was already invincible and had limitless opportunities. Now that his cultivation base had risen to the pinnacle of this world, what danger could there be?
However, it was a pity that we had to watch over the house. If we could join in the fun, we might even be able to get a share of the loot. After all, they had experienced this kind of opportunity many times. They weren't surprised at all. Instead, they were happy to see it happen!
It was only because of Old Yun's father's forceful restraint that they could not act rashly. They could not help but grumble inwardly about Old Yun's overreaction. It had deprived them of a chance to improve!
As for the four noble young masters of Dong Tianleng, they were even less worried. They did not even understand what was going on and were playing mahjong leisurely.
The faces of the four of them were covered with paper slips. These paper slips were not IOU slips, but ten thousand taels of silver per slip. This method was both interesting and exciting. It could even be said that the four of them were fighting in full swing without any distractions. To put it bluntly, they were so engrossed in the fight that they wanted to completely overwhelm the others that they did not notice the change of the Purple Qi …
Bai Yixue and his master, Xiao Shaoqing, had already moved into the Residence of Yun and were naturally waiting at the entrance. Bai Yixue looked indifferent, his emotions similar to Lao Mei and Fang Mofei, completely nonchalant. However, Xiao Shaoqing was nervous, looking down to check his attire and tidying himself up from time to time. Then, he paced around with a frown, his expression conflicted and expectant. It was obvious that he was worried about his gains and losses.
Occasionally, clouds of gray fog rose into the air around the Residence of Yun; it was the ten kings of the Concourse of the Underworld coming out to check. Seeing that there was no concrete news, they returned immediately.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, three tall silhouettes appeared at the end of the long street, walking side by side.
Ji Lingxi and Shangguan Lingxiu looked from afar and heaved a sigh of relief at the same time. The person in the middle was tall, his demeanor was elegant and composed, and he was dressed in a purple robe. Who else could it be but Yun Yang?
Ji Lingxi snorted, forcefully suppressing the glint of joy in her eyes. She lifted her head proudly and went back just like that.
Shangguan Lingxiu could not help but take three to four steps forward to welcome him. However, when she turned to see that Ji Lingxi had already gone back, she hesitated for a moment before turning around and going back as well.
Yun Yang was initially filled with excitement when he saw the two ladies who were deeply in love with him from afar. Just as he was about to go over and greet them, he realized that there was no longer anyone in front of him when he took four to five steps forward.
"…"
Yun Yang.
"Hahahaha …" Ling Xiaozui could not help bursting into laughter.
Yun Xiaoyao, who was also standing by the door with his arms behind his back, said, "Is everything alright? You're back? "
His voice was calm, as if he was unaffected.
"Yes, everything is alright. I'm back," Yun Yang replied with a face full of reverence.
"That's good, that's good." Yun Xiaoyao smiled.
He then nodded at Dugu Chou and Ling Xiaozui before turning to leave without another word.
Yun Yang could see that Yun Xiaoyao was completely relaxed at the moment. He walked in without turning his head back, as if he did not care whether Yun Yang returned or not. However, the trail of sweat on his back had already exposed his worry.
There was only genuine shock in Yun Yang's eyes and he remained silent for a long time.
…
"Master!"
With a cry of sorrow and joy, Xiao Shaoqing knelt down with a plop and crawled forward frantically. He lifted his head, his face wet with tears. "Master! Sob sob sob … I finally get to see you again today! "
Xiao Shaoqing knelt on the ground and hugged Dugu Chou's leg, bawling his eyes out. He refused to get up no matter what.
Dugu Chou sucked in a deep breath and tried his best to control his emotions, scolding him angrily, "Get up, get up quickly. So many people are watching. How improper!"
"Master, if you don't forgive me, I won't get up." Xiao Shaoqing bawled.
Dugu Chou retorted angrily, "Do you have any shame? You may be shameless, but do I? If I didn't forgive you, why would I ask you to come back? Could it be that I haven't been angry enough? "
"Then, is master willing to accept me as a disciple again?" Xiao Shaoqing lifted his head in anticipation.
Dugu Chou snorted and said, "If not, how could I allow you to call me master?"
Xiao Shaoqing was overjoyed. He sprung up and said with a grin, "I knew it. This disciple is so handsome and talented. How could master bear to chase me out? Heh, heh …"
His face was still wet with tears; it was a ghastly sight to behold, but he was actually beaming with joy.
"Hahaha …" Yun Yang and Ling Xiaozui could not help guffawing.
Dugu Chou could not help sighing, his face contorted as he said, "Xiao Shaoqing, taking you in as a disciple might be the biggest mistake I've made in my life … I didn't expect that I, Dugu Chou, would make the same mistake again and again!"
He sighed after that. "Forget it, forget it. My face … has long been disgraced by you …"
Xiao Shaoqing stepped forward eagerly, grinning as he helped Dugu Chou up. He chuckled and said, "Master, if you don't embarrass your disciple, who should you embarrass? Besides, don't people live their whole lives for this face … Isn't the existence of this face … Isn't it meant to be lost … "
…
"Went fishing today, wasted a day. I regret it immensely.
It would have been fine if I had caught it, but it's a pity that the air force commander is dead!
