Yan Sanniang looked back at Yang Gongming bitterly. "What else can I do? I've been discovered by Big Brother and Second Sister. I'll have to go back sooner or later. If I go back now, it'll be worth it."
Yang Chen sighed. Yan Sanniang had already put it this way. It would be stupid of him to try and be domineering.
Yang Cheng put away the Kui Water and walked over to the siblings.
Yan Feiyun had a strong foundation after all. He managed to stand up after some time to recover. He looked at Yang Cheng fearfully and viciously.
Yang Cheng ignored his gaze and said, "I've understood this since I was young. If you want to live, you have to rely on your own strength. If you rely on others to save you, you'll die sooner or later.
That's why I won't let Granny Yan save me even if I die in your hands today.
But you're different. I'll spare your lives today for Granny Yan's sake. Of course, if you think it's humiliating and you want to die, I'll fulfill your wish. "
Yang Cheng's words were straightforward, but there was no hint of intimidation in his tone. It was also because of his calm tone that the siblings felt that he was telling the truth.
If they refused to be saved, they would really die!
Even if they thought that their father would avenge them after they died, what was the point of revenge if they died?!
That was why they had to live! Even if they were unwilling, they would have the chance to avenge themselves sooner or later!
"You win," Yan Feiyun said with a pale face, "I've lost today, but I have to ask you why you could see through my Kongming Sword's mirror image!"
That was what he was most unwilling to accept!
His Kongming Sword actually failed?!
Yang Cheng chuckled, "I didn't use it to see."
As he said that, he pointed at his head. "I use my senses."
"Feel?"
"That's right." Yang Cheng said, "Even if I tell you, you might not understand. Even if your mirror image is flawless, as long as you exist, you can't hide from heaven and earth. Any change in the power of heaven and earth will cause some fluctuations because of your movements. I just followed that trace of abnormality."
This was also an idea that Yang Cheng came up with after comprehending the Kui Water. If Yan Feiyun knew that Yang Cheng came up with a solution on a whim, he would probably vomit blood.
Yan Feiyun couldn't figure it out and could only give up. He turned to Yan Sanniang and said, "Feiling, since you've agreed, come with us."
Yan Sanniang nodded. "You can leave first, I have to bid farewell to Old Master."
"Fei Ling, you can't be …"
"Second sister, since I've agreed to return, I won't lie to you," Yan Sanniang said seriously.
Yan Feiyu nodded and signaled Yan Feiyun with her eyes. Then, they left together.
Before they left, Yan Feiyu turned around and glared at Yang Cheng. Of course, Yang Cheng ignored her.
After the siblings left, the courtyard became quiet again.
Yang Gongming ordered the servants to clean up the corpses of the guards and cremate them before handing them to their families. He also gave them the best compensation.
Once everything was settled, he walked over to Yan Sanniang with a warm smile, "Sanniang, let's go to the back courtyard to talk."
Yan Sanniang was waiting for this moment. Even though she was sad, she agreed with a smile and followed Yang Gongming to the backyard.
Yang Cheng left the courtyard with Lin Ruoxi. When they returned to their courtyard, he asked, "Ruoxi, where's Mother? Why don't I see her? "
Lin Ruoxi finally recovered from her nervousness. She looked haggard and said, "It was very dangerous just now. Grandfather was afraid that Mother would be affected, so he sent someone to bring her out to hide. I believe she'll be back soon."
Yang Cheng praised the old man for being so calm in the face of danger.
Suddenly, Lin Ruoxi bit her lips and hugged Yang Cheng's waist tightly.
Yang Cheng was stunned. He smiled bitterly and said, "What's wrong? Why are you so passionate all of a sudden? I'm still stained with blood. It's not good to dirty you …"
Before he could finish, Yang Cheng couldn't continue.
The woman was crying.
Lin Ruoxi was like a helpless little girl. With her head on Yang Chen's chest, she tried her best to hold back her tears. However, she couldn't hold them back no matter how hard she tried. Tears kept flowing out of her eyes, drenching her shirt.
Her shoulders trembled. The woman's body fragrance mixed with the smell of blood on her body was like a drug that made people cry. It was impossible to resist.
Yang Cheng tried his best to smile and gently patted the woman's back. "Wife, why does it seem like I didn't win? I lost."
Yang Cheng wanted to make the woman laugh, but he found that it was useless.
"I thought … I thought you were going to …" You want … "
"You think I'm going to die?"
Yang Cheng said what a woman couldn't say.
Lin Ruoxi sobbed and didn't say anything.
Yang Cheng felt helpless and ashamed. He had actually fallen to the point where his wife needed to worry about whether he would die or not.
If this matter were to be spread to his subordinates abroad, would he still be able to survive?
"In the future, I will work hard to train." Lin Ruoxi raised her head and gently wiped the corner of her eyes. Fortunately, women usually didn't put on makeup, otherwise, their faces would definitely be painted.
"Cultivation cannot be rushed. It requires accumulation and comprehension." Yang Cheng caressed his lover's hair, "I also want to raise my cultivation as soon as possible, raise my realm, and comprehend more of the mysteries of heaven and earth.
However, hard work was hard work. If you were to blindly train, it would only be counterproductive. So you just need to obediently follow my plan and you will definitely be able to do it. "
Lin Ruoxi nodded and blinked her beautiful eyes. Under the moonlight, her cold appearance seemed to be extremely beautiful and refined, delicate and pitiful.
"I'm very stupid about this kind of thing. If I'm not as good as other women in the future, you're not allowed to look down on me."
Yang Cheng smiled, "Is that possible? If that's the case, then Ning Er and Qiangwei, which one of them isn't a hundred times stronger than you? I'm not biased towards them. "
"You really think they're a hundred times stronger than me!?" Lin Ruoxi pouted.
The corner of Yang Cheng's eyes twitched, "This is only in terms of cultivation …"
"Liar …"
"I …" Sigh, I was fine just now, why are you jealous again? "Yang Cheng gloomily scratched his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
The couple laughed and joked around for a while, but it was also to adjust their mood.
Just as Yang Cheng was about to grab Lin Ruoxi's hand and return to his room, he was stunned when he touched the Fengxiang Bracelet on Lin Ruoxi's hand …
Lin Ruoxi saw Yang Cheng's strange expression and thought that something had happened, "Hubby, what's wrong?"
Yang Cheng raised Lin Ruoxi's wrist and looked at the jade bracelet that was glowing with a green light. His eyes were filled with doubt …
At the same time, it was quiet in the backyard.
Yang Gongming sat on a stone bench beside a small pond. Beside him was the young-looking Yan Sanniang.
Yang Gongming looked at Yan Sanniang for a long time with a gentle expression on his face, causing Yan Sanniang's face to blush.
"Master … I'm leaving," Yan Sanniang said after a long time.
"Yes, I've always said that you might leave, but I didn't expect it to be now," Yang Gongming smiled faintly.
Yan Sanniang's eyes were a little red as she looked at the grass and trees around her with longing.
"I really can't bear to leave. I've lived for sixty to seventy years, but this is more like my real home … I still remember when Madam was still here and when Young Master Pojun was born, this house was so lively …"
"It's lively now, but that brat Yang Cheng doesn't listen to me," Yang Gongming laughed.
Yan Sanniang smiled knowingly. "Yes, with Young Master Chen around, Master won't be bored. It's a pity that Young Master Chen is still in Zhonghai most of the time, but it's convenient for him to go back and forth. Most importantly, after Sanniang leaves, there's still someone to protect Master … "
The two of them fell into silence, as if they were reminiscing about something or waiting for something.
Finally, Yang Gongming spoke, "Sanniang, thank you."
Yan Sanniang's body trembled, but she sounded a little bitter. "Master … there's no need to thank me."
"Thank you for pretending to be old all these years so that you could stay by my side unnoticed and protect me. Thank you for being willing to lower yourself to do so many menial tasks for me and the Yang Family. I also want to thank you for allowing my Madam to be so Anxin when she leaves …"
Yan Sanniang's tears flowed down her cheeks. "Master, this is what I should do."
"No, this isn't what you should do." Yang Gongming shook his head and smiled bitterly. "I'm a shameless, thick-skinned, heartless old man who harmed you."
Yan Sanniang hurriedly shook her head. "Master, please don't say that. How could you harm me? I'm very happy here."
Yang Gongming said with difficulty, "Sanniang, I only hope that you don't hate me … I know why you stayed for so many years, but … I can't betray her. I couldn't accept you back then, and now that I'm so old, I can't harm you …"
Yan Sanniang closed her eyes in agony.
On the other hand, Yang Gongming seemed to be relieved after he finally said it.
"Luckily, you're still as beautiful as before, hehe," Yang Gongming smiled and said, "I'm afraid we won't see each other again after you go back this time. I don't have many years left to live, but you still have a lot of time.
You've wasted too many years on an old man like me. You have to be yourself in the future. Don't worry about this place anymore. "
The more Yan Sanniang spoke, the harder it was for her to hold back her tears.
Yang Gongming seemed to have used up all his strength. In the end, he gritted his teeth and spat out two words.
"Take care!"
Time seemed to freeze under the starry sky …
The world changed in the blink of an eye. The handsome man from back then was now silver-haired.
It felt like a lifetime had passed.
