"What is the worth of a door compared to friends?" Yun Yang chortled and uttered, "Brother Lei, you would be insulting me if you were to continue to have such thoughts!"

While saying that, he turned his head and said, "Stay here and take care of the mystical beasts, I am going to accompany Brother Lei for a chat."

Following that, he discreetly gave the experts of the four noble families an eye signal.

Everyone instantly knew what was going on.

The event could only be deemed as the turning point as the friendship had yet to be established at this point in time. It would now be a priority to not let this Young Master Lei see Dong Tianleng again. What would happen if the rage was being instigated again?

In any case, if Dong Tianleng was unable to differentiate the good from the bad and continued with the cursing when he woke up, it would be terrible!

There was also the fact that Yun Yang was helping the people from four noble families to train the mystical beasts. Regardless of the level of Young Master Lei’s cultivation base, the matter must be concealed.

Young Master Yun was thoughtful indeed. He had considered all aspects without any omission.

"Please, please, Brother Lei, after you!"

Both of them had walked shoulder to shoulder in a passionately friendly way.

"If I may daringly ask, where does Brother Lei come from? As the saying goes, one will be able to know the whole picture by looking at minor indications. It seems like Brother Lei’s cultivation base is beyond that of ordinary cultivators." Yun Yang seemed to already be interrogating the other man on his background.

Young Master Lei smiled, "Brother Yun's judgment is excellent, but our family usually stays away from the worldly side. Brother Yun might not know about it even if I do tell."

Yun Yang feigned realization. "Brother Lei has come from a secludedly, low profile but remarkable family indeed. No wonder you command such skills. Speaking of which, Brother Lei's cultivation base impresses me a lot. I am in utter admiration..."

Young Master Lei gave a reserved smile, "You are too courteous, Brother Yun. It is only inherited from my family and I'm adept at it by chance and it was an insignificant talent. It is not worth mentioning."

While pouring the tea, Yun Yang smiled lightly and said, "I wonder what kind of matter that had caused Brother Lei to step into this secular world? Of course, if it is inconvenient for you to say, then just behave as if I have acted abruptly; how can we speak of profound issues when we've just gotten acquainted? However, if there’s anything that I can do to help, please do not hesitate to ask. This young brother is still considered capable here in the Empire of Yutang."

He beamed faintly and uttered, "Since Brother Lei has granted me this honor, I, Yun Yang, will definitely return the same favor to you. To be able to help Brother Lei solve certain troubles or problems, I am truly obliged and incumbent indeed!"

Young Master Lei sighed softly. With a face full of emotion, he uttered, "Since Brother Yun is being so frank and straight-forward, I will not hide anything as well... Initially, my family was rarely involved in the secular, and they would not have agreed to order me out into this worldly realm. However, we had encountered some issues..."

"My comeback in this martial world can be considered as an act of desperation."

Young Master Lei was melancholy.

Yun Yang cast a glance at him.

Oh, now this fellow has started to challenge me with his acting skills?

Well, he had found the right person to take on.

Let’s take up the challenge then to see who is the better one and who should be crowned as the best actor!

Following that, Yun Yang sighed, "The saying that most of the things in this world might not always follow one's wishes is in fact words of wisdom. However, little did I expect that even for a great family with a superb cultivation base like that of Brother Lei would have troubles too. Such trouble might not be resolved by any ordinary person."

It was a very normal reaction to say that ‘I will help you, but then I am merely an ordinary person. Do not expect anything from me. My ability is very limited ...'

Young Master Lei sighed, "That is not necessarily the case. Even immortals are evolved from ordinary men. He will naturally have a lot of commoner's troubles, and it is not necessary that one with strength will be freed from all worries."

A tinge of nausea occurred within Yun Yang but he agreed out loud, "What has been said by Brother Lei is the truth and wisdom. The common people have always claimed that the immortals are great, yet sometimes even the immortals will have ordinary thoughts."

"Well, that’s true." Young Master Lei sighed, "Initially, there is nothing much to say with regards to this matter. A family's shame must not be spread about. However, since you are my friend... there is no harm talking about it."

"I am listening attentively."

"I am already twenty-five years old. Initially, my family had arranged a marriage for me... and I was about to be married this year. However, my fiancé was dissatisfied with the arrangements of the families and had run away from the marriage," uttered Young Master Lei with melancholy.

Yun Yang asked with concern, "How could this be? With Brother Lei’s character, appearance, family background, martial skills, how... how can there be such a foolish woman?"

Young Master Lei smiled wryly, "My fiancée has never actually met me in person."

Yun Yang sighed regretfully, "Sigh, there are a lot of things that have led to misunderstanding just because of unknown factors. If not, a lot of troubles in this world would have been resolved. I am confident that this would never have happened if your fiancée had actually met you in person. How could any woman in this world reject such a great man like Brother Lei."

Young Master Lei blushed a bit, "You flatter me too much, Brother Yun."

Yun Yang vomited inwardly. This bastard could actually blush on demand. What a great act. It seems like I have met my rival today!

"Although I have self-proclaimed that my appearance was not bad, it is indeed far beyond Brother Yun’s. There will always be greater things beyond your knowledge," uttered Young Master Lei.

Yun Yang flushed instantly. He then uttered in embarrassment, "Well appearances are the only things that could be considered as decent for this young brother. As for the other aspects, how can I compare them with Brother Lei? The difference will definitely be like heaven and earth, and it cannot be compared... "

Can you fake a blush? I can make my entire face flush!

It was not as if I am afraid of taking up the challenge!

Young Master Lei’s mouth twitched slightly. I was just being courteous to you. Did you think that your appearance was superior? Did you believe that outer appearance is sufficient for a man? It was not as if you were dependent on women...

"I feel honored when I first met you. That’s why I am willing to tell you about this. Well, speaking on this matter, it is shameful indeed."

Young Master Lei’s glances were focused on the face of Yun Yang. He then uttered, "As this matter concerns the honor of Lei family and the friendship of previous generations, I have no choice but to come looking for my fiancée. I hope that after she has met me... she can understand me. I, Lei Dongtian, am not a superficial person, not even the kind of cruel popinjay she thinks I am."

Yun Yang applauded, "Brother Lei’s action is that of a great man, broad-minded like the immeasurable sea."

Lei Dongtian uttered, "This is no choice. After all, it is a marriage set by our parents. Being a child, I have to fulfill the aspirations of the elderly."

Yun Yang said, "Now I understand. Rest assured Brother Lei, as long as you can produce the portrait of future Mistress Sister-in-law, so long as she is in the territory of Yutang, I will definitely find her, don't you doubt that!"

This was the normal way of handling things. Despite his amazing cultivation base, Lei Dongtian had very limited manpower since there were only him and his servant. It was plain that it was easier to search for people with more resources. Since this was something that could be achieved by Yun Yang, it was undoubtedly great if he, as the son of Marquis of Heavenly Clouds, was able to take advantage of this to forge a friendship with Lei Dongtian!

"I am too grateful for the help from you, Brother Yun!" uttered Lei Dongtian, deeply moved.

"It is just a small matter! Don’t you be so courteous!" Yun Yang patted his chest and said, "Like what Brother Lei had said earlier, it seemed like we have met long ago. It means nothing even to die for the sake of friend as a man of men. It's only a small task to find someone, a task not even worth mentioning!"

"I have my fiancee's portrait right here with me." Subtle rumination could be seen across Lei Dongtian's face.

"Take it out quickly, this young brother is looking forward to the appearance of future Mistress Sister-in-law," Yun Yang urged.

Lei Dongtian nodded and took out a reel from his robes, expanding it slowly.

From the picture, a lady clad in white could be seen standing under a tree of fragrant flora. Behind her was full of bright, blooming flowers. However, the colorful, fresh flowers had simply gone unnoticed by the one before her.

The attention was fully focused on the intricate features of the beauty in the painting!

She was extremely gorgeous!

A trace of the young lady’s playfulness and naivety could be found within her decent and dignified demeanor. Anyone who had seen it could hardly dislike her.

The liking towards the lady would then turn into an urge to protect her, afraid that she would be the slightest bit hurt, followed by a deep sense of fascination...

To one surprise, such a beauty actually did exist in this world!

Although Yun Yang was mentally prepared, he could not help but suffocate a little at the sight of it.

His head was filled with amazement!

Only eight words circulated in his head - what an outstanding beauty of peerless magnificent grace!

This was only a painting. Judging solely from the portrait, it was easily imaginable how dumbstruck one could be to see the lady in person!

"Extremely beautiful!" praised Yun Yang sincerely.

"Well, her appearance is typical. Tiantang is filled with talented people and beauties, how can she be a fascination to Brother Yun." Lei Dongtian was surprised by Yun Yang's sentiment.

Lei Dongtian was bewildered by the gaze of Yun Yang that was filled with unobtrusive amazement. Wasn't it sai that Ji Lingxi had had a short encounter with this fellow?

How could he not have shown an abnormal reaction?

Now that he was fully monitoring Yun Yang, Lei Dongtian was able to feel his heartbeat, pulse, and everything else... even the movements of the single strands of his hair!

How could this child act as if he had never seen her?

Could it be that the information was wrong?

Lei Dongtian was dumbfounded for a while.

The situation was amiss.

He should instead be pretending and said that he knew the lady in the portrait but it had been a long time since they contacted each other!

Lei Dongtian had calculated every possibility and made presumptions on the various reactions that Yun Yang could possibly display. Never would he have expected that Yun Yang had truly never seen Ji Lingxi's true appearance!

Hence, the trick which was deemed as the sledge had had no effect on Yun Yang.

"My fiancée’s name is Ji Lingxi," Lei Dongtian could not help but to remind him.

Yun Yang whistled appreciatively, "A body that has not the flying wings of the phoenix but the hearts connect easily. What a great name! A great name indeed!"

Lei Dongtian could not help but scratch his head.

This child didn't seem to be prevaricating.

This script isn't right!
