Chapter 527: Omnintuition Initiation
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Once Yun Yang stepped out, he saw Yun Xiaoyao who was holding Bao'er's hand as they were walking slowly towards the yard he was in.
Bao'er's gaze brightened up at once when Yun Yang came into his sight. Like a child who had been bullied and finally saw his family, he was about to cry out, "Uncle!"
The imperial court was the biggest fright Bao'er had ever experienced in his life so far! Everyone's gaze looked like the wild beasts in the mountain, wanting to devour him at any given moment.
Everyone was unfamiliar to him, even his emperor grandpa did not give him much sense of security. The only one Bao'er felt safe with was this uncle.
Now, he finally met him again.
Bao'er almost wanted to cry at this moment.
Yun Yang, upon seeing Bao'er again, smiled easily, thinking, "Come at me, let it be that my identity is exposed. It's fine. I'm the Nine Supremes, what is there that I cannot face?"
"Since things have come to the end and there's no way to avoid it, let me take it head on!"
"Cough!"
Yun Xiaoyao hacked a violent cough, his eyes stealing a glance at his son.
The loud cough caused Bao'er to tremble. His little body that was about to bounce forward halted there and then as he could not help but to turn and look towards Yun Xiaoyao.
Yun Yang looked at towards the source of this voice too, unable to wrap his head around the reason a certain person coughed at this critical moment.
"Yun Yang, this is Bao'er. His Majesty's eldest imperial grandson, the descendant of the direct imperial lineage, a noble presence. His Majesty is letting him stay with us for the time being and I've agreed to it."
"I see," Yun Yang nodded
.
Yun Yang looked calm and collected but he was inwardly befuddled, musing the meaning behind Marquis Yun's words. What did he mean, or maybe, what did he intend to do?
He seemed to have spoken about this matter before.
"Then, it will be matter pertaining to taking care of His Highness's eldest imperial grandson. I'm old and have been greatly depleted in the previous wars. Things like doting on children are the most taxing on energy and patience, I won't be able to do it. From today onwards, Bao'er will be staying with you! You're responsible to teach him. Let me warn you, this child's identity is very noble and is capable of great things in the future. Even if you're his uncle by name, you must not slack. If you've indeed led him astray, no one will be able to cover for you. I'm telling this to you first, you must take it into consideration!" Yun Xiaoyao said with a serious face, looking both high and mighty.
Yun Yang's eyes widened in surprise. Just as he wanted to reply, Yun Xiaoyao continued hastily, "I shall reiterate it seriously, this child's identity is very noble. There must not be any mishaps. We cannot bear to have even a tiny little accident. Do you understand?"
Yun Yang inhaled deeply and said, "I understand. Anything else?"
Marquis Yun watched him meaningfully and said, "It's for the best that you understand. It's your business now."
He then turned to look at Bao'er cheerily and said, "Bao'er, this is my son, your Uncle Yun Yang. Isn't he handsome? Great to the eyes, eh? He takes on after me!"
Bao'er blinked and said childishly, "Yes, uncle is very handsome."
Obviously, the child had recovered quickly after the initial shock and recalled his aunty's reminder.
"Hmm, you'll live with uncle from now on. You must listen to your uncle, okay?"
Yun Xiaoyao told him gently.
"Okay."
Bao'er nodded obediently.
…
Yun Yang's Residence initially took up an already spacious area but after the renovation, it had been expanded to more than double of its size. Beside it, there was another House of Yun that had been built; Li Yingqiu and some villagers stayed in this House of Yun.
This house was only a wall away from Yun Yang's yard. Yun Yang had made another door so they could easily come and go.
The outer area was where the four popinjay young masters stayed while the guest rooms opposite of Yun Yang housed the two ladies who brought Yun Yang great headaches, Ji Lingxi and Yue Rulan.
The above was the current distribution of people in Residence of Yun.
…
During the same night, Marquis Yun's study was lit.
Yun Yang who wore a purple fluttering robe appeared quietly in the study. Marquis Yun who was reading in his study room raised his head slowly to look at the younger man. The hint of a smile flashed in his eyes; he seemed to be waiting for the man's arrival but he did not speak.
Both men stared at each other silently like this; none of them said a single word at first.
After a while, Yun Yang beamed before he pushed the doors open and headed out.
He had come without a sound and left without a reason. He did not say anything, nor did he do anything.
Marquis Yun smiled as well before he shook his head and sighed, saying to himself, "If you're really my son, how nice that would be…"
He stood up to gaze at the nightfall outside the window.
"This is all I can do for you."
"You've never taken me as your real father but I've long taken you as my real son!"
"My only son!"
"That's why I didn't get married for so many years. Actually, how can the old man's dying restraint really restrict me in these years?"
Marquis Yun chuckles were void of humor as he shook his head gently.
…
Bao'er swiftly adapted to the environment, much faster than Yun Yang's expected. From the initial awkwardness to easily playing and chasing Whitey everywhere, it took only less than half a day's time.
Yun Yang watched the child's every move with a smile, feeling an inexplicable emotion in his heart.
If it were possible, Yun Yang hoped that Bao'er could enjoy such happy carefree days for a long, long time. However, there was no doubt that such a carefree period was too much to hope for and these few days were perhaps all the respite that they would get.
After these few days, what came after would be days of constant scheming and conspiracies, endless studying and learning, unceasing vicissitudes of life and everything else in between! The dark side of the worldly realm would gather over them, constantly pouring in.
"Uncle, that person, is he really my grandfather?"
"He says I'm eldest imperial grandson, but what does that mean?"
"So many books! Must I read them all? It's too scary. How can I finish them?"
Yun Yang patiently explained and answered everything with a smile and without any hint of frustration. He was relaxed and genuinely relished in it. His peaceful mood spread to Bao'er, putting his curious mind at ease.
"Bao'er, from today onwards." Yun Yang pressed both his hands on Bao'er's tiny frame, uttering each word carefully, "You're no more a child, you, are a man of men now! Understand?"
Yun Yang had uttered the string of words directly with Omnintuition Initiation!
The entire backyard was suddenly engulfed in a grim and formal atmosphere.
"You are no more a child, you, are a man of men now!" – These thirteen words were etched deeply into Bao'er's mind. Such a strong imprint it was, like an innate mark, impossible to be removed or replaced!
Without any preparation from Bao'er's side, Yun Yang had painted a rich colorful stroke in the child's mind!
Man of men! Who would know that these three words would accompany the man for life? – From when he was an innocent youth to well past his prime, any man's effort would be laborious just to strive for these three words!
Bao'er's innocent face was serious and deep in thought; the cogs of his mind turned before he carefully said, "Thank you, uncle. Bao'er understands."
Yun Yang nodded. He was comforted by Bao'er's response but more of him was filled with heartache for the child. If he had a choice, he did not want to do so. After the Omnintuition Initiation, Bao'er would be more obedient from now on, much more mature; this would be very beneficial and help pave the foundation for his bright future.
However, the execution of Omnintuition Initiation at this time also meant that Bao'er's childhood fun would face extinction from today onwards.
From tonight, there would only be a child, matured in spite of his young age, who would be constantly thinking and considering various matters. With some guidance, such a child could yield twice the result with half the effort on the path he was supposed to take! – In fact, twice the result with half the effort may even be a serious understatement!
This was because the child would do what he acknowledges, he would persevere and finish it.
This was basically forging a mature personality at the tender age of three!
However, Yun Yang was not happy to see this happen. It was a great loss that his eldest brother and fourth sister's only son did not get to retain his innocence, childlike demeanor, and the merry childhood he was supposed to have! "I'm sorry, my child." Yun Yang stroked Bao'er's head and said slowly, "I hope you don't blame uncle in the future."
