Gugu puffed his cheeks. "Eldest senior brother only knows how to bully me."
The elder man laughed, no longer joking as he said, "Gugu will go with me on my eagle. It’ll be faster this way."
"As long as we go and Gugu is physically present there, this misunderstanding can be resolved."
"If so, I’ll leave the troubles to the both of you," Han Sanhe sighed.
Marshal Han was rather at a loss. Too much had happened recently, too unexpected and bizarre beyond imagination. In spite of all this, Han Sanhe knew the grave consequences that came with this issue. If the three empires had misunderstood him due to this, things would quickly spiral into catastrophe.
What was important now was to put an all-rounded end to this issue, with the hope that no one would die in the process. They could then comb through the details and the cause and effect of the entire incident. If someone had died, the grudge would still be on him and the entire Empire of Dongxuan even if they did realize the cause and effect afterward.
"Let us not delay this any longer. We depart immediately."
The eldest senior brother smiled. "In case someone has really died there… things will turn out rather badly."
The School of Spring and Autumn’s eldest disciple had obviously considered the severity of the issue. Otherwise, with his exalted status, he would not have come so far to help them out.
"When this is settled, don’t go elsewhere when you come back, Gugu. Master will look for you soon and I shall go to Tiantang City to take a look at this person who could crush my little junior sister."
The eldest senior brother laughed, bringing Gugu up into the sky with a flick of his sleeve. The mystical eagle came to them with a cry; it soared up like a black arrow with another long screech.
Looking at the large eagle turning into a small black dot among the clouds, Han Sanhe was filled with solemnness.
"Everything is such a mess now. From the looks of things, whether it’s He Hanqing being ambushed, the generals being poisoned, the assassinations along our way, or everything in Tiantang City… it’s all a big ball of mystery. I have no clue what is going on."
"There has to be a concealed mastermind behind all these!"
"He has planned, controlled, and manipulated everything - playing everyone and forces in the palm of his hand. This person is frightening indeed"
"The more pressing matter now is… who is this mastermind?"
"How can he hide so well, so perfectly?"
Han Sanhe pondered for a good while before his expression darkened.
"Yun Yang? Could it be him? The foreign generals being poisoned certainly sounds like his doing… If the rest of the matters were also due to his manipulations, he is a force to be reckoned with."
Han Sanhe’s eyes glinted with a sharpness as he called out loudly, "Guards!"
"Here!"
"Send a few capable men to Tiantang City. On top of that, announce a reward in the martial arts world." Han Sanhe sucked in a breath. "Kill Yun Yang. See what are the consequences."
"Yes!"
Han Sanhe eyes gleamed with a sinister glee.
"If there are no further incidents after Yun Yang is killed, he has to be the one behind all these. If there are still further incidents… then so be it…"
"There aren’t any better ideas now. We’ll try this out and see."
"I, Han Sanhe, have never used such a tactic before. I’ve actually broken my standards just for this child!"
…
Yun Yang did not slack even when his schemes against the various countries yielded success. He began sorting out the various forces he had - first filtering the Nine Heavens Dictum’s people, then arranging for Shui Wuyin to partake in the Nine Heavens Dictum’s work.
As for the Towering Wind Pavilion, it had gradually turned overly troublesome since no one was supervising it as Shui Wuyin had hidden himself to help Yun Yang. The latter had sold it off right away.
With the turn of events, Yun Yang managed to garner a copious amount of silver taels - a remaining two hundred and ten million silver taels were left after clearing his previous debts.
It was so huge an amount that Yun Yang was still considering how he should spend it. After all, Young Master Yun only had one concept of spending - only money that you spent was truly yours!
What was the use of keeping it? To look at it?
After the four noble young masters had been summoned, Yun Yang was unexpectedly made known of the reason these four fellows had been quiet recently. Ever since the four of them had gotten Yun Yang’s promise, they had immediately contacted their families, ordering them to search for high-level mystical beast after reiterating the credibility of the matter - swearing, making an oath, wagering, or any spoilt manner that could allow the development of their order.
Until today, there was already substantial progress from each of the families. The Spring, Summer, and Autumn families had each gotten an eighth level pinnacle mystical beast offspring and were already sending them here, while the Winter Family - Dong Family, had nothing despite their best efforts.
Initially, the news Dong Tianleng received was that his family had found a high-level mystical beast that was waiting to go into labor. It was only a matter of time before they could get their hands on the offspring and a newborn was obviously easier to train than a young offspring.
When Dong Tianleng had told the other three men, boasting and tooting his horn while waiting with a raised chin, he had been informed that his family men had been set upon by a large group of mystical beasts when they were ambushing the female that was in labor.
It was debatable to call Dong Family’s luck great as their targeted pregnant beast was the queen of the mystical beasts. Not only was its prowess amazing, it had attracted similar- leveled mystical beasts of its own species. Not a single one of the dozen of eighth peak experts from the Dong Family who joined the hunt had survived the fight.
It was indeed to go out for wool and come home shorn.
Now, Dong Tianleng’s gaze towards the other three men was red with intense emotions!
It was an opportunity that he had first gotten but it was the three of these jerks who effortlessly gained in the end. He became the one who got nothing!
This made Dong Tianleng’s insides churn while he fumed, the jealousy he felt almost made fire flow out from his eyes.
"Boss… please delay those three first…" Dong Tianleng pleaded, "You must teach all of them together, only after my family’s beast offspring gets here…"
Of course, Yun Yang was not at all bothered by Young Master Dong’s pettiness.
"Boss… what do you think if I drugged their baby beasts once they get here first? Delay them like this… I believe my baby beast is going to be here soon…"
When Dong Tianleng spoke, he did not notice that Chun Wanfeng and the other three had coincidentally approached where they stood talking. Of course, Dong Tianleng was then walloped soundly by the other three young masters.
Yun Yang was totally disinterested in the four men’s monkey business; his entire attention was on something else.
Right before this, the Nine Heavens Dictum had sent news of the four empires - a handful of generals among those returning home was stricken with illness; the Empire of Dongxuan was dealing with the other three empires now.
The issue had escalated this time, so each empire was in chaos as all sorts of opinions and voices were raised.
Some had said that only blood could resolve this grudge while some said that they should not make rash decisions; there were also people who said that the perpetrators should be held accountable since the truth was before everyone’s eyes but there were also some who said that the matter was peculiar and they should be careful of tricks. All in all, the various stances were so scattered and scrambled that it was hard to mediate them all.
"This is exactly what I want - for all of you to be in an upheaval. If you’re not disorderly, how can I grab the opportunity within?"
Yun Yang’s gaze was shining. "This shall plant the seed of resentment in each nation. It’s not something easily resolved; after all, there are so many generals… Even if the poison was remedied and the people were saved, the grudge stays…"
"Especially for Han Sanhe, he has even offended He Hanqing. I believe he won’t spend his coming days in peace. As for the continent’s empires, they probably can’t make any big issue for now… I wonder if Dongxuan’s emperor would use this chance to wipe out Han Sanhe… I doubt he'd leave him alone while the opportunity to strike was this hot."
"Since the external woes are soothed, I can now concentrate on solving other matters now. The despicable remains of the Four Seasons Tower must be hauled out and eradicated; that Supreme Lord Spring Frost, He Hanqing, as well… If he can be wiped out, it’s going to benefit the future greatly."
"The Four Seasons Tower’s affairs must be cracked while the other nations are still in unrest. Time waits for no man, this opportunity must not be lost. I must complete it!"
Shui Wuyin had succeeded Lao Mei to officially become the Residence of Yun’s butler.
"Wuyin, what do you think regarding these matters? Any conceivable suggestions?" Yun Yang sorted through the aforementioned issues.
Since the night meeting in which they had shared, Yun Yang thought highly of his extremely comprehensive cognitive. It was now time to showcase his talent!
Shui Wuyin mused for some time. Grabbing a brush, he wrote the matters down onto four different notes and put them on the table.
He then frowned, staring at the four pieces of paper, frozen for a long time.
This was his first mission upon becoming the Residence of Yun’s butler; a new broom ought to sweep perfectly clean!
However, it was a given that intricate efforts must be exerted in how to do these things as well as accomplishing them perfectly. As it was, none of them was easily accomplished.
"Young master, I’ve tied up some loose ends about what you’ve mentioned." Shui Wuyin’s voice still carried the odd rasp but Yun Yang had long gotten used to it.
"Why not just push Mi Kongqun’s case to the first in the sequence. This is the only easier one amongst everything else. Not only can we tackle Mi Kongqun if he comes out; even if he stays hidden in the palace, it’s not a difficult task to young master too."
Yun Yang nodded. It was true.
Shui Wuyin continued, "The only thing to consider is Mi Kongqun’s ability. There’d be a lot of work if you do not strike him down in one pounce. Young master’s real identity will be exposed once you strike. If you miss, then news of Supreme Cloud being alive will be spread throughout the world!"
