Chapter 338: Renounce Exploitation and Return to My True Self!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lei Dongtian had made arrangements since the very beginning in order come into contact with Yun Yang through Dong Tianleng indirectly. He did not mercilessly kill Dong Tianleng, despite being humiliated, but plotted to befriend Yun Yang instead. He was also willing to go to the expense of sending a large quantity of premier resources just to forge diplomatic relations with him, revealing high-end, confidential secrets of the Bound of Universe. All of these had portrayed that Lei Dongtian was an extremely manipulative and ruthless character.

However, Lei Dongtian had fallen prey to his own plots and calculation since the initial stage and was stuck in the pit. If the situation for both of them had been clearer, Yun Yang admitted that he might not even have the confidence to trick the other party.

However, having said that, the use of tricks was to make it as if things had happened unintentionally. Wasn’t it silly for one to not manipulate the other if he knew that they were both rivals? Wasn’t it that very same scheme that had successfully washed away all the doubts about Ji Lingxi and Yue Rulan?

Under the condition that it was an unintentional meeting, it was just as simple as that. A glance was all it took.

However, it was now appropriate to consider the safety of the two ladies and to find a place for them to hide!

"We aren't leaving!"

The reactions of Ji Lingxi and Yue Rulan were exactly the same.

The entire manipulative process by Yun Yang had been witnessed by both Ji Lingxi and Yue Rulan. Of course, they would have known what sort of a whirlpool the Residence of Yun was now engulfed in!

In the face of the forthcoming retaliation by the Four Seasons Tower, Yun Yang had trapped himself while designing the pits, even if his main target was Lei Dongtian .

No matter whether one was to look at it from the viewpoint of Yun Yang as an influential character in Yutang or as the friend of Lei Dongtian, the Four Seasons Tower would definitely not exempt him. He would be the best target for a direct attack, the best choice indeed!

To leave was something the two ladies were incapable of doing.

After so many years of roaming the world, and after experiencing so much of joy, sorrow, departure, and betrayal of the families, Yun Yang’s home could be deemed as their last warm harbor!

They would not leave!

The determined attitude of the two ladies had made the warmth within Yun Yang’s heart surge, despite him being at his wits’ end.

They had indeed proved themselves to be his eighth brother's little sister and fiancee. Despite knowing that the danger was imminent, they did not seek to avoid it.

However, how could I expose you girls to such danger, to place you at risk?

...

"Lao Mei, Old Bai, Old Fang. The Residence of Yun will be facing some trouble. The retaliation of the Four Seasons Tower will arrive at any moment. What do you fellows think? Don’t feel restrained in voicing out your ideas!"

Yun Yang looked at the trio who stood in front him.

"Let us fight with our all!" uttered Lao Mei in an easy tone.

"As long as I am able to accompany young master, anything will do. Life or death is something that can be determined within the blink of an eye." Fang Mofei laughed in a carefree manner.

"May I be excused to head to the washroom?" Bai Yixue could be seen sighing in a mournful tone.

"No, you may not."

"Then what can I do? It is nothing more than a fight against them! It’s still early from the due date of our agreement!"

The expression of Bai Yixue was filled with bitterness.

Yun Yang chuckled and took out three jade boxes from his sleeve, "There are three pieces of ruby fruits in each of these boxes. You fellows should consume one later and it will help to boost your cultivation base by fifty years. The second one can help to boost your cultivation base by thirty years, the third one by twenty years. Within the following three days, eat one every day. You must boost your battle strength to new levels, increasing the means for your survival!"

The eyes of Ba Yixue and the other two were instantly wide.

"If what has been told by Lei Dongtian is true, the three ruby fruits will help to boost your cultivation base by a hundred years as soon as they are consumed!" Yun Yang softly said, "I wish that all of us can remain safe throughout the catastrophe."

Fang Mofei and the other two began to breathe rapidly upon seeing the jade box before them, almost rendered speechless.

This was a treasure from heaven and earth in every sense of the word! This was the type of treasure that, according to the legend, could help to boost the cultivation base by just consuming one of it!

It was now being placed before them, for their consumption.

Furthermore, there was more than one. Three for each person, a hundred years of cultivation base?

Everyone knew that no matter what kind of treasure it was, only the first one could help the cultivation base of the consumer to an amazing extent, while the effect of the second one would be greatly reduced and as for the third, the effect was even far lesser than that of the second. Hence, the act of Yun Yang giving three of ruby fruits for each of them at once was but a waste. The total number of the ruby fruits for the trio would be nine and if they were to be distributed to nine people, the fruits could have helped to increase the cultivation bases of the nine people by fifty years each. The difference was apparent!

However, at this point in time, Yun Yang had given the ruby fruits to only the three of them without hesitation. His high regard and sincere consideration towards them were clear.

"Thank you, Young master!"

Even Bai Yixue could not help but be moved by Yun Yang’s act.

The crazed thirst of practitioners for the improvement of their own strengths was not something that could be easily understood by the ordinary man on the street.

It was simply an extreme fanaticism!

After all, the act of Yun Yung giving three ruby fruits all at once was unheard of within the Tianxuan Continent!

This was something that could barely be described by just the word "generous".

"Unfortunately, only three of the ruby fruits can be consumed and to eat it again makes no difference with any ordinary fruit." Yun Yang sighed, "Take them and dismiss yourselves!"

"It is imperative to boost your strength within these three days. We have, at best, three days of leisure left to us."

"Yes, young master!"

Lao Mei, Fang Mofei, and Bai Yixue were gleeful, their eyes glimmering with joy.

...

Standing before Yun Yang was Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, the four great popinjays.

"Boss, we really do not wish to leave. You see, what should we do when we got back to our families? They don't take us seriously..." uttered Qiu Yunsan miserably, "How can it compare with the freedom, joy and the ability to do whatever we please here?"

"Once we return, it's basically the same as if we were locked up. There are people who will scold us by pointing their fingers right at our foreheads every day. It's even worse than mere imprisonment ..."

"That's right." Dong Tianleng had wrapped himself like a dumpling, "There are too many elders at home…Everyone points to us and scolds us... we aren’t allowed to retort. Boss, can you imagine that? It’s extremely torturing and appalling. "

Xia Bingchuan nodded again and again, "In fact, it’s better to let the guards send those mystical beasts back home. Isn't it better for us to stay on to accompany boss to have fun?"

Yun Yang burst out in laughter, "Don’t tell me that you are going to stay here with me for a lifetime? Sooner or later you fellows would have to go back anyway. Even if you fellows were to have fun here for a year or ten years, don't we have to part ways at the end of the day? How can there be a meeting without separation in this world?"

The four sighed together. Depression was clear in their expressions and words.

Yun Yang solemnly uttered, "Four brothers, you may or may not know this, but you fellows have helped me a lot within this period of time. For that, I express my sincerest thanks."

The sudden turning of Yun Yang's style into such an official manner had all the people stunned. Feeling a little overwhelmed, a long while passed before they uttered, "Where does this even comes from, boss? if there’s anything, it's this young brother's... "

"Don't interrupt me, let me finish!" Yun Yang took a deep breath and continued softly, "I know that although each of you has your ulterior motives, during this time, our relationship with each other wasn't bad. We have got along pretty well."

"Before you leave, I am going to render each of you a present."

Yun Yang presented four jade boxes and said gently, "There is a five-hundred-year of ruby fruit within each of these boxes presented before you. Upon consuming it, and by immediately exercising your cultivation base and Qi, you are able to obtain fifty years of refined mystical Qi of cultivation base."

Yun Yang faintly smiled and said, "Treat it as my farewell gift to you fellows."

The four of them were dumbstruck, their minds spinning about in disbelief.

What?

The legendary ruby fruit? A five-hundred-year-old ruby fruit?

Such a heavenly, precious opportunity, how could boss give them out so readily?

One should know that every time such a legendary, precious treasure appeared within the martial world, a reign of terror would have followed!

Even if some of the families were able to get their hands on such a thing, some sort of price would have to be paid. Furthermore, Dong Tianleng and the three were aware that even if their own families were able to obtain these kinds of things, they would have absolutely no part in it.

However, the boss had given it to them so willingly.

Am I dreaming?

"Brotherhood is the most precious treasure there is. However, even if one were to possess it, it could be destroyed easily. Maybe it is just a single word or a battle of honor; the brotherhood can never be restored."

Yun Yang continued seriously, "I hope that four of you... no matter when don't ever forget this sentiment among each of you. Don’t ruin it simply and don’t forget such a rare fate."

The four still remained dumbfounded, unable to face the reality of the situation.

"Well, there is no need to wait until the future. You fellows might as well consume the ruby fruit later in the afternoon, and don’t ever mention this matter to anyone. After you have finished digesting it from cultivating, just leave directly. "

"Dong Tianleng, before you leave tonight, remember to come and look for me. I have other things to pass on to you."

Yun Yang stood up slowly, "The presence and extinction of fate have its own affinity. We will meet each other again in the future if we're fated to."

Just as the four people had recovered their bearings, the tall and lean figure of Yun Yang had already disappeared from the room.

The four were still sitting quietly, feeling the ferocious impact in their own minds. The four popinjays did not even touch the four jade boxes that contained the ruby fruits, nor did they look at them.

...

Yun Yang stood quietly outside the door in silent observation. Only then did he continue on his path.

His handsome face was full of serenity. However, there was a deep grimness that had never been displayed before this.

"All along, I have just been thinking about how to make use of you fellows. The treasured sword, Spirited Kau, that was filled with the air of spirituality, and the three mystical beasts that had been inserted with the air of vitality as well as the four ruby fruits. Just treat them as my compensation to you fellows." Yun Yang thought in his heart silently.

"Despite being popinjays, each of you can be deemed as a frank man that shows his true colors. If I was unhindered, perhaps I could really have forged ties with you fellows. However, unfortunately… to forge ties with me at this moment will only bring about meaningless death at the hands of the Four Seasons Tower. "

"Even your families would perish together."

"Initially, I had intended to have both you and your families injured and decimated, since it has always been done this way. However, at this very last moment, I have decided to let you go."

"Truth be told, each and every one of you have endeared yourself to me."

...

With a face full of peace and calm and a gaze of unending depth, Yun Yang stood quietly Before the cenotaphs of Yun Zuiyue and Supreme Flame.
