When Yun Yang had planned to do so, when he was using the identity of the Nine Supremes to quell the war, he had only been thinking of his responsibility, his brothers' responsibility.
To protect this country, to protect the people of his country, to not suffer from the pain of war.
However, when he saw Yun Zuiyue's invitation, Yun Yang finally regretted it.
What he had done had undoubtedly indicated a fact – Supreme Flame was not dead!
This was equivalent to him personally giving Yun Zuiyue a dream that could never be realized! He had given her a hope that would forever be lost and hopeless!
To Yun Zuiyue, this was an incomparably cruel thing!
It was even crueler than Supreme Flame's sacrifice!
Initially, perhaps Yun Zuiyue still had the possibility to extinguish this thought, to forget this emotion and start afresh. However, after this incident …
There was no longer any possibility!
This was because, in Yun Zuiyue's heart, or perhaps in the hearts of the entire Empire of Yutang's people, Supreme Flame was not dead!
Since he was not dead, how could Yun Zuiyue forget? How could she start afresh? She would only wait anxiously and watch over him with more and more passion …
Looking at Yun Zuiyue's behavior now, Yun Yang completely understood this.
She had gone mad with joy!
"Young brother!" Yun Zuiyue's eyes were shining. "Where is he? Where is he? Tell me! I beg you! "
Yun Yang looked at her helplessly.
"Please tell me!" Yun Zuiyue said anxiously, "He has already come out to fight … He is no longer hiding it … Are you still not going to tell me?"
Yun Yang looked at her helplessly and could only say mechanically, "I don't know …"
Yun Zuiyue took two steps back in disappointment. Looking at Yun Yang, her fervent gaze gradually calmed down. It was like a burning flame that was slowly shrinking until it cooled down.
"Are you really … Flame's brother?" Yun Zuiyue looked at Yun Yang coldly. "Hearing the news that they are still alive, hearing that they are still fighting, aren't you excited at all?"
Yun Yang heaved a long sigh.
"Sister Yue, can I ask you something?" Yun Yang asked.
"What is it?" Yun Zuiyue's gaze was still cautious.
"Do you think it is better for a person to live with a dream? Is it better to live in a dream forever? Or … "Before Yun Yang could finish, he was interrupted by Yun Zuiyue. She said coldly," This question is ridiculous. What's the point of living if one doesn't even have a dream? Especially a woman, if she doesn't even have dreams, then … what's the point of living? "
"If a woman doesn't even have a dream, what's the point of living?" Yun Yang muttered in his heart.
Finally, she sighed softly and said, "Sister Yue, you're right. When I heard that they were fighting, I was not happy at all. In fact, I was very unhappy."
Yun Zuiyue's expression changed as she looked at him coldly. "What do you mean?"
Yun Yang sighed softly, "Sister Yue, you might not know … what kind of price you have to pay for this battle!"
Yun Zuiyue's expression tensed. "What is it?"
He instantly tensed up.
He could only take it one step at a time. Yun Yang made up his mind and hesitated no longer. He said, "After they were injured, there was no news of them for a whole year. It might be an exaggeration to say that they were struggling at death's door, but it's not an exaggeration to say that they were at the end of their rope."
"Now that the country is in danger, they have to act. In this battle, what they have to pay … is not only the potential of their lives …"
Yun Zuiyue's expression changed drastically.
"Especially when the bosses had successfully escaped the attention of the whole world with their deaths, but this battle has immediately made them the target of public criticism …"
Yun Yang looked at Yun Zuiyue and asked, "Why should I be happy?"
Yun Zuiyue's mind was in a whirl. She paced around in a fluster and said fearfully, "That's right, why didn't I think of this? Now, they are really … even more dangerous than before …"
Yun Yang's heart throbbed in pain as he said, "Now … it's really a critical period. I'm hiding at home now, I don't go out under normal circumstances … "
Yun Zuiyue said apologetically, "Young brother, I'm sorry … Sigh, your Sister Yue is always like this. Women … cough, they like to be paranoid …"
"It's nothing." Yun Yang felt a pang in his heart as he said, "Sister Yue, you don't have to blame yourself. It's true that this young brother is burning with worry now, but it's beyond my reach. I don't know how the situation is …"
Yun Zuiyue heaved a long sigh, her eyes looking out of the window as she said softly, "As long as you can live well … as long as you can live well … I … am willing to endure all the suffering for all eternity …"
Her voice was pious as if she was praying to the heavens.
Yun Yang's heart ached.
This infatuated woman …
His heart grew more and more conflicted.
How could he end this endless infatuation?
Fifth brother …
Yun Yang suddenly remembered that he had already opened Supreme Flame's Fire room and the wills of his three brothers, fifth, sixth, and seventh, were all placed in his secret chamber.
Previously, he had not dared to open them in order to focus on his cultivation. It looked like he would have to take a good look at them when he returned tonight.
However, each time he thought of Supreme Wind's will, Yun Yang felt a stab of pain in his heart. Now, facing the wills of his three brothers, Yun Yang really felt a sense of homesickness.
From the bottom of his heart, he did not want to open them.
Because every time he opened it, he felt as if he was tearing his own heart apart …
"Sister Yue, did anyone come looking for trouble with you regarding Zhao Binglong's incident?" Yun Yang asked.
"No, not really. After all, Zhao Binglong's crime was announced to the public right away … "Yun Zuiyue said," It's just that I'm a little troubled now … "
She hesitated for a moment before she smiled sweetly and said, "But I can handle it."
Yun Yang frowned and said, "Since Sister Yue says you're troubled … why don't you explain it clearly? Are you still treating this young brother as an outsider? What Sister Yue said just now … it makes me very sad. "
Yun Yang's words evoked Yun Zuiyue's guilt. She quickly smiled apologetically and said, "Young brother, don't be angry. It's just a few aristocratic children …"
She stopped abruptly as she spoke.
Yun Yang's expression turned harsh. "East, west, north, and south? Or is it Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter? "
Yun Zuiyue forced a smile and said, "It's no big deal. Young brother, you go about your business. Sister Yue has a protective talisman here. Who dares touch Sister Yue? Don't you think so? Haha … "
Yun Yang thought about it and said with a smile, "That's not bad. This young brother has lost his composure. "
Looking at Yun Zuiyue's expression, he knew that this matter would not be so easily resolved. Besides, Yun Zuiyue had said, "Who dares touch Sister Yue?" These five words made Yun Yang realize that this time, the target was not the other girls in Cirrus House but Yun Zuiyue herself.
Or perhaps, it was the entire Cirrus House.
This had long filled Yun Yang's heart with a murderous intent.
However, he did not show it on his face. After a few more banter with Yun Zuiyue, he bid his farewell.
Yun Zuiyue sent him to the door. Seeing that his expression was normal and his gaze was gentle as usual, she was slightly relieved that he did not seem to take the matter to heart.
She only blamed herself, "Why did I mention this? If young brother were to … Wouldn't it be my fault? " Yun Zuiyue, oh Yun Zuiyue, how many things have you been through? Why can't you control your mouth?
Hopefully, Yun Yang has really let it go and not be impulsive …
…
Yun Yang bade farewell to Yun Zuiyue and walked back with a relaxed expression. It was only after he had turned into a street that his face fell.
Who dared to touch Yun Zuiyue and Cirrus House?
Courting death!
He snorted and reached into his robe to hold the jade pendant, sending out the Nine Heavens Dictum.
Cirrus House was a place that Yun Yang had instructed to pay attention to. Whatever happened here had long been recorded. It had only been a quarter of an hour since Yun Yang had sent out the order and the whole story had already reached him.
Ten days ago, Young Master Qiu Yunsan of the Qiu Family, one of the four noble families of Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter, had come to Cirrus House with a few others. When he had seen Yun Zuiyue, he had suddenly become obsessed with her.
He had reported to Cirrus House every day for ten consecutive days. He had spent money like water and had even knelt outside Cirrus House to ask for Yun Zuiyue's hand in marriage in front of everyone, wanting to take Yun Zuiyue as a concubine.
Yun Zuiyue had not agreed but this Young Master Qiu had not been discouraged. His attacks had only become more aggressive.
He had even brought out a lot of dignitaries to speak for Qiu Yunsan.
He had not done anything rude but it was extremely annoying to be pestered like this every day.
Yun Yang's eyes gleamed coldly.
Qiu Yunsan? Asking Yun Zuiyue to be his concubine?
How dare he!
With a thought, the Nine Heavens Dictum sent out another message, "What kind of dignitaries are the ones who spoke for him?"
This time, it was even faster.
The message had been sent over in a flash. He did not even have the time to think. Obviously, the other party knew his boss' temper and had already prepared all these things.
"Residence of crown prince's aide, Shui Yuehan? Board of War's Old Marshal Leng Daoyin's son-in-law, Zhou Zizheng? Plethora Gem Tower's Tiantang's keeper, Fu Guansan? And … "
Yun Yang felt a jolt of surprise when he saw the last name. "Old Marshal Qiu Jianhan's Old Mistress Ding?"
"What kind of atrocious thing is this?" Yun Yang felt suffocated. At once, an extreme rage that could burn the whole of Tiantang City red rose in his heart.
Fifth brother's body was not even cold yet, but his sweetheart was being pressured to such an extent!
The families of the two military bigwigs were actually involved!
Even the crown prince's residence was involved? There was also a keeper of Plethora Gem Tower, a member of one of the martial world's mysterious forces.
Yun Yang's rage was burning.
If you're sincere in your pursuit and promise me the position of wife, even if Sister Yue has no intention of it, as long as you don't use any despicable means, I won't do anything, even if I'm not comfortable with it.
After all, fifth brother is gone. Do I really have to let such a peerless beauty suffer for the rest of her life?
However, the way things were going now was obviously oppressing people with their power!
Although this Young Master Qiu had not done anything out of line, Yun Yang understood the weight of it. I'm not bullying you by using these people to pressure you. However, if you think about it, how are you going to survive if you offend these people in Tiantang City?
If you don't give these people face, what else do you want? What will the consequences be? What will happen to Cirrus House? What will happen to your sisters?
These were all silent threats!
Under such threats, there were not many in this world who could withstand it!
Yun Yang's eyes were almost spitting fire. This matter had truly crossed his bottom line, making him hate the old marshal as well.
If you don't know anything, settle it for me.
