Chapter 374: Departure

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Don’t worry, young master. This subordinate shall ensure the task is completed!" Bai Yixue said with fervor, "If Young Master Lei is injured, even in the slightest, during this return trip, this subordinate will come and see young master with my head tucked under my arm!"

"I don’t want your head. Just make suer Brother Lei remains safe and sound. This is the main point, do you understand?" Yun Yang grimly reminded the man again.

Lei Dongtian grew increasingly grateful.

Of course, he could see that this Old Bai’s capability was only at sixth heaven and would normally not be worthy of his attention, but the latter was already the highest cultivated guard Yun Yang had.

Although Lei Dongtian paid no attention to the guard’s cultivation base, it was not at a low level either. Bai Yixue could already be mid-ranked if he were to be serving in his family. Such an expert was among the few rare peak cultivators in Tianxuan Continent and was even above Venerable Lord Saber of the Four Seasons Tower’s Five Venerable Lords.

He could be considered Yun Yang’s last hand of cards.

Yun Yang’s journey would obviously be dangerous, but he had sent his guard to protect Lei Dongtian without any hesitation!

Such a sentiment of brotherhood was terribly touching indeed!

"Brother, take care during your journey!" Lei Dongtian turned his head, genuinely touched.

Yun Yang’s sincere gaze fell upon him. "Brother Lei, you must take care!"

Lei Dongtian nodded adamantly, with unshed tears in his eyes.

"I shall leave now!" Yun Yang turned and vacated the premises.

Behind him, Lei Dongtian waved sadly.

He understood full well that if it weren\'t for him, Yun Yang’s senior brother and fiancée junior sister would not have been caught by the Four Seasons Tower! It would never have happened!

All in all, he had burdened Yun Yang and had even caused his family to be in grave danger.

However, it was still a chance - a chance of a fate that belonged to him and Yun Yang. Yun Yang was destined to be a man of his cauldron. Even though Lei Dongtian was touched by Yun Yang’s effort and sacrifice but it was still a God-given chance. Not taking a God-given chance would be defying God - even God was standing on his side!

He was truly God’s child, one blessed by heavens, and would never be tainted by mediocrity!

…

Lao Mei and Fang Mofei, who was standing aside, tried their hardest to keep a straight face. They had used their entire cultivation base to stop the laughter from bubbling up.

Senior brother?

Junior sister?

What f*cking senior brother and junior sister? Our young master doesn’t even have a school!

The lie had come so easily and was so rich with emotion that it was utterly believable. Did you not see Lei Dongtian’s reaction? He was so touched that he looked ready to pour out his heart!

Fang Mofei felt that the longer he served Yun Yang, the more his own sense of calm deteriorated. Not only did the straight face he had successfully achieved in the Concourse of the Underworld fail miserably, his last bit of collected demeanor could be gone at any given time. He really did not know what to say about being reduced to such a sorry state!

…

The wind blew strongly.

The consistently gray sky of Tiantang City saw a sudden shifting of clouds and wind; the billowing gale grew increasingly urgent and loud. All the flags in the city fluttered noisily due to the vicious wind.

In the sky, white clouds were drifting and dancing as the curling wind traveled afar.

…

His Majesty, who had long been watching out for the changes in weather, hurried out of his royal study with quick steps and looked up, having only one thought, "It should be Supreme Wind. Is he going to collect my grandson? It must be. I hope he moves faster; the quicker the better."

The emperor was very hopeful.

On the contrary, Qiu Jianhan, who was seated in the Residence of Marshal, was thinking of an absolutely contradictory situation.

Supreme Wind had said before that he would come to him again after two or three days. After hearing what he had to say, only then would Supreme Wind go to pick up the child. This arrangement wasn\'t due to change anytime soon.

That would mean that Supreme Wind’s departure now was not to collect the child; he had something else to do.

The time was yet to be.

Seeing how flagrant he was, so much so that he did not even mind exposing Supreme Wind’s cultivation method and his own traces of moving the clouds, must mean that he had something very urgent to do and… the destination must be somewhere far away!

If so, Supreme Wind might very well not make it back within three days. He might even return after a long time. There was nothing set in stone.

"Why are you f*cking leaving at such a time? Don’t you know that this is an emergency as well?"

Old Marshal Qiu sprung up to the rooftop and swore out loud without a care for his reputation, "You bastard. What are you going to do? You - you - you… you hand over such a mess to this old man and leave just like that? How am I supposed to explain it? Don’t you know that the man is already impatient and is one tough character that can’t wait? He is likely to kill someone soon!"

The old man was really anxious now, sweat drenching his heavy clothes.

If you don’t come back within the set time, how am I supposed to explain it to the impatient emperor?

I am utterly doomed.

It was only news previously, and this old man’s life was almost snatched away by the torment. Now that you have just left, and won’t be coming back so soon, I will meet my end at His Majesty\'s hand.

Aren’t you Supreme Earth’s brother? Can’t you feel the desperation a father wanting to meet the son of his son?

What is so important that you can\'t do it after tackling this father? Do you have to be so fretful during this short hour or even a quarter of it?

In spite of this, the gale continued to billow in the sky. How could Supreme Wind, who was distressed about his destination, hear the old marshal’s cry?

His only thought now was on another father - another father who was fighting his life for his son!

Even if it were only a breath’s time, Yun Yang was reluctant to wait any longer. He simply could not wait even a moment more!

Life was at stake; he did not even know if he would make it in time as he rushed over.

Yun Yang sped all the way that by the time he had materialized as himself again, it was already noon! There was a wide river before him, and this place was three thousand and seven hundred miles away from Tiantang City!

The river waters were surging; the river had to be at least several hundred miles wide by the looks of it.

Lunar River.

It was said that this river had sprung up from the soul of the moon. Anywhere the moonlight could reach, so could this river. As long as the moon still shone in the sky, this river would exist.

"Long time no see Lunar River. As long as I follow the river, the other end would be the Empire of Ziyou."

Yun Yang stood by the riverside, watching the tidal river flow by and was momentarily dazed.

How many times had it been that the nine brothers had gathered by the riverside? How many times had it been that they had packed up their return baggage here after a war?

He still remembered that it was on this big rock that he stood before now that the eldest had also stood on and said, "Legend has it that Tianxuan Continent doesn\'t only have Lunar River, it also had Solar River, Stellar Sea, and the Lake of Wind and Cloud. Too bad we can only see this Lunar River now."

"When there’s world peace in the future, I shall bring everyone to visit these legendary places."

The brothers had cheered together then, excited by the promise.

Yun Yang could vaguely remember when the eldest, Supreme Earth, had said this. Not only was his gaze very odd, his voice did not sound quite as usual. He did not know why, then, he had that strange feeling but now he knew, he understood.

It was because the eldest, Supreme Earth, was the eldest prince!

When the world was united, the new emperor of Yutang would be on the throne.

If the eldest was still here, Yun Yang wondered what he would feel. It was supposed to be his spot, but he could only watch from the side.

That must be why he had thought, rather than watching from the side and feeling the pain, why not bring the brothers to travel around and stay far away from this land of sadness where he had given his all when there was world peace!

Supreme Water had stood beside Supreme Earth then and had said loudly and roughly, "That’s right. What’s more important than being able to stay together with all the brothers?"

Thinking about it now, fourth sister was actually comforting their oldest that time. So, these two people were already together and might even be married already!

Hearing Supreme Water’s comforting words, the eldest then said, "That is correct. It’s true that nothing can be happier than gathering with the brothers. We are already at the bank anyway. Ol’Fourth, come, play with me in the water."

After he had said that, he had pulled Supreme Water’s hand and they both dove into the bottomless Lunar River.

The brothers had all cheered and jeered at the bank, laughing and poking fun at their eldest who was still acting like a child despite being the oldest. Not only was he playful, he had even acted that rare moment of childishness out; what a rare sight!

He only knew now that the eldest must have gone to spend some alone time with fourth sister…

Yun Yang could not help but recall when Supreme Earth had pulled Supreme Water to dive into the water; the lack of a struggle from Supreme Water, and the ridicule the brothers had thrown about them being good homosexual partners…

He could not help chuckle now and mumbled, "Eldest brother, you’re really something… Knowing that we don’t know anything and assume we’re all fools then going to have your romantic fun in public… Seventh brother even said that good homosexual partners really behave that way; they didn’t even include all of us…"

The tiny details were so heartwarming yet heart-wrenching as he reminisced about it.

He remembered that seventh brother Supreme Blood was guffawing madly then. Even when they knew his face was a false one, the brothers had still itched to beat him up together as his chortle was truly shameless.

It’s your business that you want a good gay partner for life, why are you pulling all of us along?

There was only a longing and heartache that Yun Yang experienced upon recalling that shameless laugh.

"Seventh brother, our father has got caught…"

Yun Yang said quietly, "Do you know about this? How can I allow such a thing to happen? Young nine will never allow any member of our family to fall! Never!"

After Yun Yang said this, he sprung up and dove into the Lunar River with an unusually streamlined pose.

As he dove gracefully into the river, he melted and merged with the water.

The Empire of Ziyou and Yutang was polar extremes from each other, especially when reacting to a natural phenomenon like the wind. The contrast was huge!

When the wind came in Yutang, there were cheers and laughter while an abnormal gust of wind in Zilong City would only garner watchful gazes and hostility!
