Chapter 312: Faraway Guest, Do Stay!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
With a sudden, daunting, feeling, the faces of the four noble families had turned pale white.
Where had these two masters come from?
Their ranks were absolutely legendary, their levels tantamount to that of Ling Xiaozui!
Judging by the situation, the masses had come to a conclusion; they were definitely not worthy opponents even if they were to fight against the enemy together!
In the face of the absolute differences of strength, there was no use in outnumbering their foe.
How was one to deal with this matter?
With an indifferent look, the young master clad in white strode forward slowly. Lightly, he asked, "Who is Yun Yang?"
It looked like he had come here for Yun Yang.
There was no need to worry anymore.
Why had he hurt Dong Tianleng if he was here to find Yun Yang?
Yun Yang was already expecting the arrival of opponents. Apparently, the reason he had exposed himself these past few days was to wait for their arrival.
However, little did he expect that the young master would appear before him in such a manner.
It had placed the both of them in a position of rivalry.
The person had almost punched Dong Tianleng to death.
This had caused the matter to head into a deadlock, making all of Yun Yang's previous preparations, calculations, and countermeasures simply an exercise in futility.
Considering the youth was not from the same side of the world, no matter how strong he was, he should have the reserved and determined demeanor of a great family. So long as he did not manage to find any actual evidence to prove that Yun Yang was, in fact, Supreme Wind, or any evidence revealing the identities of the two ladies, he would not have posed any trouble at this stage.
Yun Yang had expected the other to fish about in a roundabout fashion by trying to create more opportunities to interact with Yun Yang. The reason that the person had tortured both of the ladies before this was not that he was unable to kill them in one fell swoop, but because he had other schemes. It was plain that the fellow was patient. If that was his real intention, Yun Yang might as well respond accordingly!
However, the situation had rendered all of Yun Yang's previous calculations useless.
At the same time, the rage in Yun Yang’s heart had escalated. No matter how strong you were, wasn’t it a clear act of superiority, judging by the way you injured Dong Tianleng and how you tried to provoke us?
We had four families experts here with us, together with Bai Yixue, Lao Mei, and Fang Mofei. With our cumulative effort, it wouldn't be too far-fetched to say that we had a chance of survival. It was too soon to determine who was the ultimate winner!
With an expressionless face, Yun Yang walked towards Dong Tianleng and Old Fatt and knelt down before them to check on their conditions. Yun Yang immediately felt a sense of relief.
Although it seemed like they had been seriously injured, it was not life-threatening. It appeared that the young master was clear about his limits. In other words, the matter had yet to turn sour, and there was still room for reconciliation.
Yun Yang rapidly fed the two with medicine to stabilize their conditions. He then ordered the expert from the Dong Family to lift them up to the side. Only then did he stand up, with his eyes focused on the young master in white.
The young master in white watched how Yun Yang anxiously saved the two with mild interest. He stood silently rooted to the ground.
After all, everyone within the Residence of Yun was no threat to him at all.
Not only did he have his guard by his side, if anyone had so much as twitched, he would have decimated them with a wave of his hand.
Since he was confident about his skills, it would be the utmost priority now to first understand the nature and tactics of his opponent.
"Who are you?" Standing straight, Yun Yang’s expression was calm and collected, his pair of eyes staring at the young master clad in white. Icily, he uttered, "Who are you to destroy my residence's doors and hurt my brother? Why did you do so?"
As usual, Yun Yang could be seen fully clad in violet, standing elegantly and otherworldly. Facing off against the young master in white, Yun Yang did not look inferior at all.
His imperious and solemn grandeur far exceeded that of his opponent.
The demeanor that Yun Yang displayed before his rival had inspired all the experts from the four noble families. To have such an imposing manner in the face of an irritably strong enemy was certainly not achievable by any ordinary man.
"Are you Yun Yang?" asked the young master in white while glancing knowingly at Yun Yang.
Apparently, the reason he had questioned Yun Yang was because he did not wish to be interrogated.
"Yes, I am." Yun Yang felt that it was of no concern to divulge such information to this man.
It would be a great joke if his aura was diminished just by answering the question!
If that was true, it was evident that he was too fragile-hearted.
"You have not answered my question yet," uttered Yun Yang with a more imposing tone after answering the young master in white.
"As a matter of courtesy, allow me to answer your first question. My surname is Lei. You may not have heard of it."
Young Lord Lei uttered faintly,"As for why I did this, you should ask your brother instead, ask him what had he done?"
Lei?
Yun Yang suddenly recalled the letter written by his sixth brother, Supreme Thunder.
Bound of Universe, Lei Family.
Before this, Yun Yang had thought about the youth before him. With such a formidable strength, it was impossible for a youth like him to possess such a high cultivation base in the secular Tianxuan Continent. He must be a visitor from the other realm. Since his family name was Lei as well, could he be from the family of Lei, from the Bound of Universe?
"You wish me to ask him? Has he offended you?" Yun Yang turned to look at Dong Tianleng and he already had the answer.
Yun Yang had an early understanding of that character's absurdity when they had first met. It could be deemed as a deep understanding of the said character. If not for the previously fated encounter, it was not even glorious to have such a friend.
This fellow was definitely a sordid bastard.
There was no one in this world who more skilled at uttering and doing things that would easily offend others.
"Considering the actions and words of your brother... If it wasn't to reserve some of your honor, no one would blame me if I were to kill him on the spot." uttered Young Lord Lei, "What I did was only a slight punishment."
A slight punishment?
A slight punishment which had rendered him half-dead?
It would not be extreme if he were to kill him on the spot? Who do you think you are, the father of the Emperor?
The hearts of the four noble family guards were awash with anger.
Coincidentally, Old Fatt had just woke up.
All the glances were soon cast on him, another party from their side who had been involved in the incident.
"What actually happened?" an expert from the Dong Family asked.
Old Fatt was ashamed, his glances furtive. After a long while, he let out a long sigh.
Recalling the words uttered by his own young master, Old Fatt felt that it was well-deserved even if he was killed on the spot.
It was simply too lethal. Those who had heard of it would have abhorred it, not to mention the party involved the incident directly.
An ordinary person would have been furiously enraged, let alone such a person of great strength!
Looking at the reaction of Old Fatt, the masses were beginning to understand the situation. It must have been Dong Tianleng who had offended the other first - very gravely so. Only then was he injured by the other and even came to the doorstep.
"Is it still necessary for me to reiterate the way things had panned out?" uttered Young Lord Lei blithely.
Yun Yang sighed and uttered, "Even if there’s cause for this matter, the way you reacted was excessive."
The tone of his voice had instantly turned gentle.
Great Young Master Yun Yang was a socially conscious person. His brimming rage and urge to battle were due to circumstances. The experts from the four great families were not to be relied upon, particularly the other three families other than the Dong Family. Once the things started to turn south, they were most probably going to prioritize saving their own lives. The so-called brotherhood was nothing more than a mere puff of air. Once the battle had been instigated, his side would definitely be defeated. Now it seemed like there was room for mediation. To progress towards that direction would be most favored by Yun Yang!
Young Lord Lei was beaming in his heart. His idea was actually workable!
On the other hand, Old Fatt could be seen meticulously reiterating the cause of the whole matter. The rest of those there then cast glances at each other.
This matter was indeed beyond reproach.
In particular, the words of Dong Tianleng that were being reiterated by Old Fatt. The other party involved was right there, it was impossible to omit anything at all.
Other than being completely speechless, the group broke into a cold sweat.
To get beaten after uttering such words was not a totally untoward reward.
If they were the ones being scolded and had they possessed such great strength, they would have had beaten him to death without a second thought!
Yun Yang’s attitude changed immediately. Letting out a sigh, he said, "Dong Family, carry your young master in to recover. This incident... how embarrassing and humiliating!"
As he finished, he turned to Young Lord Lei. "Brother Lei, thank you for this! Thank you for your mercy and the honor given to this young brother in such a moment of rage. This matter is… Well, we would not have known each other without this fight. Come on, since the misunderstanding had been cleared, the fact that you had come here today will be considered my honor and a way to treat me as your friend! Considering the fact that you had granted me such an honor…you must stay here for a drink! "
Without waiting for an answer, Yun Yang began the arrangements, "Lao Mei! Hurry up. Go and prepare some wine and dishes. I will want to drink with Brother Lei tonight and will not return until we are fully drunk!"
He burst into laughter and uttered, "As the saying goes, we were fated to meet each other from a thousand miles away. A glass of wine will clear all the animosities. Brother Lei, it is a must to drink tonight."
This turning point had the young master in white stunned. Never would he have thought that his own goal had been achieved so easily!
The experts of the four families secretly nodded in affirmation.
Young Master Yun was an amazing figure indeed.
In the face of such unclear truth and a superbly skilled person, he was able to advance and retreat accordingly and was even willing to sacrifice himself for a fight. Not until when he had understood the whole story did his attitude encounter a sharp change, turning the serious matter into a petty one and subsequently disarming it completely, without a single trace of aversion in his tone.
An impressive flexibility of a hero's tactic indeed, a person who was capable of achieving greatness.
Moreover, everyone was clear about the fact that they would not have had stood a chance against Young Lord Lei and his bodyguard. Since there was a chance of turning enemies into friends, why not?
It was hard to say that they might not be able to form a strong alliance in the future!
"Young Master Yun is talented indeed. It is not without cause that he could make my young master his friend and even willing to be his follower."
The four major families could not help but to acclaim Yun Yang profusely.
Looking at Young Master Yun then at their young master, there was simply no room for comparison.
As the saying goes, comparison among people could kill while comparison among goods could expire.
A wise phrase indeed!
This was particularly the case for the Dong Family. To compare Yun Yang, who was capable of saving the whole situation by utilizing a few words with their half-dead young master who had always been the main cause of trouble, the experts could not help but to have a peculiar feeling that it was better to have given birth to a barbequed pig than to have him.
What a great difference!
Young Lord Lei thought in his heart; this was my initial intention. Only then I was willing to grant you such an honor. Don’t you ever think that you are in any way superb...
In fact, in my mind, you are nothing but residue...
Despite this, his face had a genial smile. He then uttered, "Brother Yun is too courteous indeed.I had accidentally broken your door while in a fury just now. I am extremely sorry about that."
