The one who came upon the mass of people was shocked by the presence of so many individuals who had gathered at the yard. Furthermore, they were all of high-ranked cultivation bases. His brows flinched uncontrollably, having come across something unexpected.
Once again, he squinted to observe more closely, and he found a few familiar faces in the throng. There were, to his surprise, three from the top four families, Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter.
Obviously the person could in no way have thought of that. These top three families’ ingenious experts, had surprisingly gathered in numbers at this place. What were they thinking of doing? Are they here to ambush me?
The man could not resist turning over to look at the door plaque, his face showing signs of shock and bewilderment.
Was this Residence of Yun? Or one of the Residences of the top four families?
After all, the formation of thirty-three people with high cultivation bases was too frightening. Despite looking highly upon himself, he had no assurance that he was able to stand against so many expertss. Once the immense fight started, it was wishful thinking to contemplate fleeing!
The expressions of the few ninth peak cultivators changed when they saw the newcomer. As one, they all stood up, and one of them uttered: "Brother Wei? You....why are you here?"
Brother Wei was also as bewildered as he uttered, "I'm here for some matter. How about you?"
At that moment, both parties were looking at each other stumped, each of them were filled with a stomach full of doubts.
Gugu, the youth cladded in black, had her eyes darting around as she said, "Eldest senior brother, who are these people? Why are they gathered here?"
Brother Wei softly uttered: "They are among the best of the Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter families. Each one of them is a top expert. Do not act unthinkingly, and speak prudently."
Gugu's eyes darted around before she opened his mouth and asked, "If I may ask, why are you seniors gathered here? Could you help assuage my curiosity?"
One of the experts of the Spring Family cringed and waggled his eyebrows after hearing those words, but carefully answered, "Brother Wei, if I may ask, who is he?"
"Brother Wei" seemed to laugh awkwardly, and said, "This is my youngest junior brother... he's young and immature. If he had, in any case, offended any of you... please accept my apology."
The masses smiled reluctantly.
The reason the masses was gathered here, was but because of the message from the four young masters, who had mentioned that the owner of this place had possessed the method of cultivating high-ranked mystical beast’s cubs and was able to break through the innate restraint. Hence, every family had gathered here in trying their luck. Although this experiment had yet to be justified, the implication within was too complicated. If the cultivation matter was true, it would definitely change the influence layout of Tianxuan Continent. Hence, it could be deemed as the most important thing among other important things. If it could be done, they would have silenced the youth by killing him directly instead of even replying to the youth’s question.
However, everyone also knew that, this "Brother Wei" who stood before them had already reached the level of Tenth Perfection. He even had the background of coming from an influential sect, thus was not someone who could be easily trifled with. It was already hard to want to tackle him. In spite of it, it could still be done with the combined efforts of the 33 experts since training the mystical beast cub was a matter of utmost importance. So long as the deed was done cleanly, even if his sect were to investigate this matter, it would be difficult to find any traces of clue!
However, besides having vaunted abilities, this person also had a ninth level pinnacle spiritual mystical beast as his saddle!
The combination of a bird and a human escalated their combat capabilities to more than a expert of the Tenth Perfection. Although the noble families would still able to kill him, it would come at a devastating cost.
Although the top three families said that they were on the same side, and this time around they were also standing on the same line of formation, to really pay the enormous price and to establish enemies without any reason would be worthless. Especially at this moment, where they only knew that the owner of this place had the ability of cultivating mystical beasts, but yet to witness it themselves as proof, they could not jump the gun just yet.
"We are here for sightseeing at Tiantang City."
One of the people laughed dryly, and uttered, "A few of our families’ young masters are coincidentally here, and we came to have a look around. We have no other intentions than visiting, of course. I wonder if there are any doubts left to this young master that we can ---- answer."
Gugu eccentrically and in a playful manner, said, "You can say so, but I've visited Tiantang City before. At that time, the four young masters were also here, but why didn’t you seniors come at that time? I've left for only a few days and suddenly all the seniors are here."
There was an old man with a slim and slender face from the Spring family who faintly uttered, "We are here by coincidence, we gathered coincidentally and coincidence caused us to meet as well. If this world didn’t have such coincidences, wouldn't it be boring? Or even if we were here for other matters, I suppose we don’t have any obligation to report to you..."
Apparently, Gugu's questioning manner had annoyed these people.
We are all people with powers and positions, what do you take us to be by asking us so many questions?
Gugu who was slapped by the words was not angry but uttered, "Coincidence I see, the matter that concerns you all have nothing to do with me anyway. However, the owner of this place, Residence of Yun’s Young Master Yun - we know each other."
The faces of thirty-three people turned rigid at the same time.
You are Yun Yang’s friend?
Suddenly, a sound filled with excitement could be heard, "Gu Gu?"
The masses were spellbound.
Gu Gu?
Was there a pigeon somewhere?
Yun Yang was cladded in violet, his elegant and graceful grin was like a stream of the glacier spring. Walking quickly, his violet gown hovered in the air, displaying a sense of mystery.
The moment Yun Yang saw Gugu and his eldest senior brother, there was a sense of danger that wrapped itself about his heart.
How could he not know that the great problem had arrived?
How could he solve this problem?
"Gugu... it's really you! I thought my eyes have played tricks on me!" Yun Yang roared with laughter, his expression was extremely merry. "For these past days, I've been missing you so much... When I woke up the other day, you were no longer there. Why didn’t you wake me up the moment you left?"
Someone was growing shameless with the innuendo within his words, the implied meaning had led one to have fanciful thoughts and an overactive imagination!
Just before he finished his sentence, Yun Yang went forward with the intention to hug Gugu’s shoulder; apparently after his flirty words, he was going in with flirty advances as well.
Gugu rapidly squirmed away and furiously exclaimed, "Yun Yang, what nonsense are you talking about? Please have some respect!"
Yun Yang rapidly halted, smiled albeit awkwardly and said, "I was unaware just now. Why are there still so many people around? Normally there wouldn't be any one at my house. What a surprise! Let us wait until there's no one left."
The eldest senior brother at the side had since had his eyes wide opened and his mouth agape, standing rooted at the spot.
What... what is all this about?
"I missed you so much"... what is this? Fond longing of each other?
"When I woke up the other day, you were no longer there..." What did that mean?
"When you left, you didn’t wake me up"… what was this about?
The other day... don’t tell me that you both have slept on the same bed? If not, what else could it be?
Both of you were hugging each other the moment you met…. don’t you tell me that you've been so acquainted to this point?
"Normally there aren't many people at my house"… Could it be true that flirty touches is the usual mode of interaction between the both of you?
Wait until there was no one left? What are you going to do when there's no one else?
The eldest senior brother’s face was full of question marks; the more he thought of it, the scarier it got.
This matter was indeed more terrifying the longer you thought about it!
Looking again at Yun Yang’s good looking and elegant face, he was like a tall handsome pine standing there with his lean build; his gaze seemed to have stored boundless affection...
A fine young master in this worldly realm, such an elegantly beautiful youth -such compliments could not be more precise.
If his own junior sister had changed to her lady’s attire and recover her real looks, she would have made a perfect couple with this Young Master Yun!
While stroking his jaw, Brother Wei looked thoughtful.
"The one with the surname Yun!" Gugu was furious to the extent that her face had changed its colour. "Stop talking nonsense over there! My identity back then was an envoy. I wonder what are your intentions for talking so much nonsense?"
Yun Yang nodded his head like a chicken pecking the rice. "Of course, an envoy. That day you did tell me that. It was your surface identity. I knew about it."
The faces of the masses had become more dubious.
"We've greeted each other in terms of brothers. It was just a few days since then, is this how Young Master Yun treats his own brother?" Gugu said in pretense manliness so as to try saving her own image.
However, it had only served to highlight the inharmonious ambience.
"Of course, of course!" Yun Yang squinted his eyes and uttered, "Brother Gu, it has been several days since our parting, how are you? I've indeed missed you more. Come, come. It's rare that you come today, please do come in and have a cup of tea… This was hand-plucked by me, specially for you..."
Hearing his every word that was intended to cause misunderstanding of the people, Gugu’s dark face of a disguise turned red in anger. "Yun Yang, you are despicable and shameless!"
Yun Yang remarked joyfully with a laugh seemingly full of tenderness as he uttered, "Yes yes, I am despicable and shameless. What’s more, I am also deliberately making trouble!"
There were several people from the masses of three families that couldn’t resist making remarks. All of them had been long lived in this world, how could they not been able to hear the tease within?
Gugu was even more enraged as she hatefully uttered, "Yun Yang, you bastard!"
Yun Yang who was gesturing to invite them in had his arm frozen and he no longer spoke. After a while, he looked at Gugu with a gloomy glance while the corners of his mouth broke into a mechanical, icy grin, as if he had been struck with an unprecedentedly enormous setback, and he coldly uttered, "Brother Gu, you're...?"
Gugu who was infuriated was panting with rage. She closed her eyes and solemnly she uttered each and every word, " Yun Yang, don't you dare contaminate my pure name!"
"Brother Gu how could you say this?"
Yun Yang then displayed a reserved beam, a grin like one had been rejected by people over a thousand miles. He lifted his head and with a solemn voice, he uttered, "Brother Gu’s good name would be mine to protect with full effort. For this, Brother Gu need not keep reminding me. Never mind. You've come a long way anyway. Consider gracing me your presence and allow me to serve you a cup of tea. We would talk about the rest later."
He lifted his head in pride, as if he had been hurt to the greatest extent yet was trying to maintain his self-dignity and pride at all cost. He lifted his jaw and said rather coldly, "I understand. Our countries are fighting and you and I are supposed to be in opposing stances. It was known that one would not befriend another if their paths were different. If you wouldn’t even want to grace me this opportunity... then please help yourself."
Smiling indifferently, he pointed his finger and said, "The main door is on that side. Walk towards the south after the doors to head to the city gate to exit the city. Be on your way!"
His behavior was exactly like a couple who had felt dejected and was acting rashly out of their disagreements.
