Yun Yang did not retort, argue, or explain. He just kept quiet.
Yun Xiaoyao paced around angrily and said angrily, "You want to go by yourself? That's impossible! At least … I'll go with you! "
"No way!" Yun Yang was shocked, immediately breaking his silence to speak.
Yun Xiaoyao was going with him? What a joke. Facing the Four Seasons Tower's full force, this was no different from sending himself to die.
"Someone has to collect your corpse!" Yun Xiaoyao glared at him angrily. "You don't want to die without a corpse, do you?"
Yun Yang sucked in a deep breath and said, "I won't die. I'm confident!"
"I'm confident as well!"
Yun Xiaoyao bellowed.
Both of them stopped talking, remaining silent for a long time.
After a long, long time, Yun Yang said, "I'm leaving."
Yun Xiaoyao snorted but did not speak.
When Yun Yang walked to the window, Yun Xiaoyao's low, raspy voice came from behind him. "All these years, I've been thinking how great it would be if you were really my son. Why aren't you my biological son? "
Yun Yang jolted, stunned on the spot.
"I've truly treated you as my biological son." Yun Xiaoyao's voice was a little weak as he said, "I just don't know if there was a moment when you really thought of me as your father."
Yun Yang did not speak for a long time.
Yun Xiaoyao waited for a long time without a sound, thinking that Yun Yang had left. He sighed softly, his voice bleak. He felt that his state of mind had aged a lot.
He murmured, "No matter what, don't die. I … I don't want to collect your corpse …"
However, the moment he turned around, he was immediately stunned.
Yun Yang was standing in front of him. He had not left.
Yun Yang's eyes were shining.
Yun Xiaoyao looked at his nominal son, somewhat at a loss for what to do.
"Actually, in my heart, you … have always been my father. What you've done for me these few years has been more than many biological fathers, more dedicated."
Yun Yang's voice was low, but his words were clear and sincere.
Yun Xiaoyao's eyes shone brightly.
"For me, you didn't hesitate to drift outside alone for several years. For me, you didn't hesitate to hide it from the Emperor. For me …"
Yun Yang smiled bitterly. "I actually want to be your son for real. But that will only harm you. "
"But in my heart, you will always be my father. You were, you are now, you will always be, and you will always be."
"Even if I find my biological father in the future, I'll tell him that I already had a father before him, a father who treated me sincerely, loved me, and cared for me." Yun Yang said softly, "If I can't find him, I still have you. I'm not destined to be alone in this lifetime!"
Yun Xiaoyao could only feel a rumbling in his head, his vision blurring.
At this moment, he only felt that everything he had done before, everything he had sacrificed, was all worth it, far more than worth it!
It was really worth it!
In her haze, she seemed to see Yun Yang kneeling in front of her and kowtowing three times respectfully.
He wanted to say something, to respond, but he could only feel his lips trembling, unable to speak.
Then, he watched Yun Yang stand up in a daze and said, "I'm leaving."
Then, he took two steps back, and his whole body suddenly disappeared without a trace.
Yun Xiaoyao trembled, instinctively taking two steps back. Suddenly, he plopped down on the chair, not making a sound for a long time.
Tears fell from his eyes, but a sincere smile hung at the corners of his lips.
He could understand every word that Yun Yang said, so he was comforted by it.
Happy, excited!
In front of outsiders, I can only be your father in name. In front of the Emperor, I can only be your adoptive father, a shield that you can use.
But only between you and me, we are true father and son.
Enough, enough!
…
The Tower to Heaven Inn.
The four noble young masters were conflicted.
They were now contemplating a very serious life topic. What was their ultimate goal in life?
A life of popinjay?
A carefree life?
To become strong and roam the martial world?
To be a high official and rich salary, to rule the world?
To have beautiful wives and concubines, to have endless luck with women?
It was an unusually serious topic. The answers to the above questions were mostly out of reach, only occasionally thought of when they were bored out of their minds. However, this question was suddenly brought before their eyes today, at this very moment.
The four of them were at a loss, at a loss of what to do, their thoughts unusually chaotic.
Yun Yang could not help but sigh inwardly.
His original intention was only to ask what the four of them planned to do in the future. They had known each other for a while, the four of them had called him big brother and had even contributed greatly to him in many matters. If it was appropriate, he did not mind leaving some resources for them so that he could meet them again in the Bound of Universe one day.
He had not let down their acquaintance and familiarity during this period of time.
However, looking at the four men's expressions now, Yun Yang understood a lot more.
"We … don't know what to say at the moment."
Dong Tianleng broke the silence and said with a bitter chuckle, "Initially, we had thought of working as hard as we could to follow Boss Yun and make a name for ourselves in this world. We wouldn't have wasted our lives and left a legend behind. Wouldn't that be great?"
"However, we really didn't expect boss's footsteps to be so big and fast. In the end, the only thing we felt was that we were at a loss and it was hard to imagine. "
"Boss, you're asking us about the future now … we don't know what our future will be like. At least, our original intention is no longer realistic."
Dong Tianleng was rarely so serious, but this time, he had truly dissected his inner thoughts, his voice heavy.
"To put it bluntly, we're still popinjays in our bones. We've never lacked wealth and glory since we were born. Conversely, we don't have the ability to enter the imperial court and become officials. "
"For the same reason, we won't have a share in inheriting the family."
"As for the boundless fortune of wives and concubines, it's still based on our birth. We don't need any effort to obtain them. If it's too easy, it'll be tasteless."
"As for becoming strong, roaming the martial world, being unrivaled in this world, or even going to another world to reign supreme, we've thought about these ambitions very seriously before. However, we've asked ourselves … we can't bear the hardships. This is also the truth!"
Dong Tianleng chuckled bitterly. "We've been pampered since we were young and we've lived comfortably for so many years. Now, it's still possible for us to struggle, but the path of cultivation is long. In the long run, we'll never have that kind of ambition."
Chun Wanfeng sighed. "It's difficult."
