Lao Mei's laugh was bitter, "It’s alright for young master to say this to me ... Still, young master, I would say that it’s better to let them leave as soon as possible. It is not for the sake of young master, but who would dare to doubt young master when he is in the Empire of Yutang? However, when each other’s identities are hostile against each other, how can coexistence be possible? Old Sir He has always been cautious, he would never allow the possibility of "what if". He would definitely have precautionary steps to cater to this, in case the two met on the road."

Yun Yang was clearly startled by this statement, "Yes, yes, what you have said is reasonable. I was only determined to let the guests stay, but I've neglected this part. This is really a matter of concern. The way I allow the guests to stay is but delaying their established actions."

"Don't sigh anymore young master, old Sir He is still waiting over there. I think it’s better for young master to go over, you might have a fighting chance."

The butler sounded very worried, "Old Sir He is among the few people who can influence the Emperor himself."

Yun Yang’s response was sullen, "Well, it seems like this meeting is unavoidable! I have to go over to greet him so as to slow down the old man’s actions. This bunch of old men. They never cease to interfere in other people's lives."

Lao Mei said, "Old Sir He’s starting point is for the great cause of Yutang. Young master, you..."

"Well, well, I will be going in a while. However, I have been accompanying our guests halfway through, how can one leave in the middle of that?" Yun Yang was clearly angry, "Old Sir He has nothing to do. Add the fact that he is of age now and older, there is nothing wrong to keep him waiting for a while, is there? "

While he was saying that, footsteps could be heard. Someone was walking back toward the room.

Wei Xinglu silently recovered from his deific consciousness, his face showing a touch of a smile.

The door opened, Yun Yang walked in. "Apologies for the long wait."

"No harm done." Wei Xinglu was beaming still, just that his smile had become slightly more sincere. However, on the other side, Gugu rolled her eyes, not showing the slightest kindness towards Yun Yang.

At first glance, Yun Yang looked the same as before, but how could Wei Xinglu not notice that he had since become heavy-hearted, filled with worry. They then drank a few more glasses of wine with each other, and Yun Yang suddenly asked, "Gugu, for this time that you came to Yutang, how many days can you stay?"

Gugu ruthlessly rolled her eyes, "What does it have to do with you? I will stay for as many days that I am willing to. Even if it was for a lifetime, how are you able to control it?"

Gugu’s intention was just to ridicule Yun Yang, but the eldest senior brother, who was listening closely, had got it wrong as if he thought it was going to rain when he heard the howling of the wind . He thought that Gugu had inadvertently spelled out her own intentions. To stay for a lifetime? Was she not tempted by this handsome man?

Yun Yang laughed dryly, and replied, "That has nothing to do with me. It's fine for you to stay for however long you are willing." Suddenly, it seemed like he had been struck by a thought; with a solemn voice, he uttered, "Since there is nothing to do here... why don't you head home earlier?"

Gugu grunted, "I am going back whenever I wish. It is of no concern to you!"

Wei Xinglu noticed that Yun Yang had silently let out a sigh. After a long while, with some difficulty to start his speech, he uttered, "For now, the world may not be at peace. No matter where one is, one must be extra careful."

Gugu coldly replied, "Now that you have the time to worry about others, why don’t you worry about yourself first?"

Yun Yang did not bother to reply and raised his wine glass instead. "Please, let us drink together. It is not easy to gather, lest we drink without stopping."

Gugu scoffed, "Eldest senior brother, do not drink that! Who knows if the wine is poisoned or not?"

Yun Yang grinned dryly, "Gugu is too humorous. For a great wine that was being poured out from the wine pot, if there’s poison within, I would poison myself to death as well..."

The more Wei Xinglu observed, the more sympathetic he felt. His junior sister was too unruly, and he could no longer stand for it. He raised his wine glass and said, "Please, thank you, young master, for your hospitality. If there is an opportune time in the future, please do come over for a stroll at the School of Spring and Autumn. There are a lot of picturesque sceneries there. If young master were to come, I am willing to be your tour guide, while we appreciate the colors of spring and autumn together."

Yun Yang eyes lit up, "It is a must to go, to visit the long reputed School of Spring and Autumn's boundless scenery. It would be a waste if I couldn’t have the chance to witness it with my own eyes."

Gugu pounded on the table, "I dare you to come to our school and see!"

"Gugu!"

Wei Xinglu snapped and said, "How can you speak like this? I took the initiative to invite Young Master Yun to go, how dare you object to it?"

Gugu’s eyes were red. She felt wronged and speechless, almost in tears.

"Please don’t mind her, Young Master Yun." Seeing that his junior sister was about to cry, it was incorrect to say that Wei Xinglu was not sorely aggrieved. However, at the moment, it was inconvenient to comfort his sister junior. He could only comfort Yun Yang first. "Junior sister has had an excellent family background, talented and smart since childhood. That’s why she has been spoiled by my master since she was a toddler. "

Yun Yang grinned, and with a forced smile on his face, he uttered, "Well, Gugu’s character is forthright and straightforward, her rhetoric unrestricted. This is why she is so lovely..."

Wei Xinglu rolled his eyes superciliously.

To him, Gugu was great in the eyes of the beholder.

It is true that love will turn one blind. Even being scolded had become a pleasure...

Wei Xinglu knew about Yun Yang’s difficulties. He drank the wine continuously, deliberately finishing the banquet quickly. He had heard it clearly. He Hanqing was still looking for Yun Yang for some reason. He had delayed his time and inevitably this would cause Yun Yang trouble.

After less than half an hour, Wei Xinglu creased his eyebrows. While holding his forehead he murmured, "It is too bad that I am already of age, and can no longer withstand the strong alcohol, hence I must lay down for a rest..."

Yun Yang seemed to be relieved, and he replied, "Well, please do have a rest eldest senior brother. I... I have something to deal with and have to leave for a while. I will be back soon..."

"At your pleasure, Young Master."

Wei Xinglu pulled Gugu, who was just about to talk, half dragging her to walk toward the room.

Little girl, please don’t provoke him anymore. Such a great man, he is!

It came back to the saying, if this opportunity had been missed, one would definitely regret it for a lifetime!

As soon as Yun Yang’s front foot had stepped out from the door, Wei Xinglu’s foot silently followed.

The eldest senior brother was not of Gugu’s fledgling generation. By his own calculations, how could he believe in whatever things that he had heard of? As it was known that the auditory was virtual and the seeing is real. Of course, he would naturally follow Yun Yang to have a peep, especially since he was rather interested in He Hanqing too. It was just in time for him to take this opportunity to meet this Yutang three dynasties’ veteran, a savage character with a deeply embedded capability that he had almost fooled Han Sanhe!

He watched as Yun Yang brought along Lao Mei; the two people kept silent all the way. Yun Yang’s face was filled with heaviness.

Wei Xinglu's sympathy grew even more. How old is this youth? Was he just eighteen or nineteen years old?

Apparently he was at such a young age, yet he had been involved in the flourish and decay of the wars of this country, and bore the burdens that should not be his responsibility. What was worse, he had to sacrifice his own feelings for the sake of this responsibility.

The reason why Gugu had been so relentlessly, unreservedly, and forcefully causing catastrophe to Yun Yang; wasn’t all this because of the Soul-Sealing Spike accident that happened the other day?

However, for all these pressures that had been burdened on the shoulder of such a weak youth, how could he withstand them? It made one feel sorry for him just thinking about it.

After walking for a bit, Yun Yang suddenly paused. He then turned his head around, his eyes peering sharply around him.

Wei Xinglu was shocked.

Could he actually feel that someone was tracking him? How strong was his cultivation base? Assuming that with a cultivation base that could sense his tracking, his innate spiritual awareness would be godly indeed.

Fortunately, I am far away, and his cultivation base was is low compared to mine. He would not be able to confirm his suspicions to any degree of certainty.

Yun Yang had been turning his head back and forth for many times, suspiciously and dubiously. This made the tracking extremely difficult. It soon developed into a distance where he could only observe over a few junctions, further away...

In short, it was extremely thrilling!

Wei Xinglu was conceited enough to believe that he had a strong cultivation base. Even though he was separated by several junctions, he was still able to observe the general movement of Yun Yang through his mind from a distance.

Finally, Yun Yang reached the front door of the Residence of He.

Wei Xinglu was still watching from afar. He could see Yun Yang speaking a few words to the gatekeeper of the Residence of He, and then it seemed like both of them had started a dispute. It could later be seen that Yun Yang had walked back furiously...

The distance between the Residence of He and his current location was not far. There were many experts within the Residence of He. Wei Xinglu did not dare to utilize his deific consciousness to eavesdrop entirely. It was also too far apart; even if he wanted to eavesdrop, it would be futile.

Hence Wei Xinglu only saw that Yun Yang had arrived at Residence of He and it seemed like he had been subject to a stern reprimand.

By the look of the gatekeepers, it seemed like they had wanted to chase and beat Yun Yang, to the extent that when Yun Yang turned around, his face was full of rage. His mouth kept muttering as if he was cursing to release his anger.

What had actually happened?

Could it be that both sides had not communicated well, so much so that it had turned into a quarrel?

Wei Xinglu memorized the location of the Residence of He. He then quietly followed behind Yun Yang and started to track Yun Yang once again.

This time around, it was probably due to the anger, Yun Yang’s alertness had greatly been reduced. Even though the eldest senior brother had approached a little nearer, still Yun Yang had not been vigilant enough to notice it. Because of this, Wei could hear the muttered curses of Yun Yang.

"This is unreasonable indeed!"

"How could this be reasonable?"

"The didn't even let me in the door! Didn't I only arrive late by an hour? I have friends there to take care of, and it was not without reason after all!"

"It was unreasonable indeed! He even wanted to take control of me choosing my own wife. Even my father had never tried to control me, why should he?"

"Curses to the three dynasties veteran. If not for the fact that he was in control of a number of high-level cultivators, dare he be so arrogant?"

"So unreasonable! Unreasonable indeed!"

Along the way, Yun Yang had muttered the word "unreasonable" a few hundred times!

His anger-filled face could break through the horizon. He was completely in a state of rage.

"Young master ... the fact that Old Sir He did not want to see you was not without reason. As a noble person that was quite occupied, it was really difficult for him to spare the time. He had been waiting for you for an hour, you can't blame him for that. You really should have gone over earlier ..." Between his words, it was clear that he was full of praise for the old man. He kept pointing out Yun Yang's faults in his words.

"He was busy as a noble person, does it mean that I am an idler then? Besides, I had managed to guess what he wanted me to do long before.What is the difference between late and early? Do you know that what did the old man intend for me to do? He actually wanted me to lay out a trap to ambush Gugu and her eldest senior brother ... it was unreasonable indeed! This old man had been confused, I suppose! "exclaimed Yun Yang furiously.

"It is, in fact, a difficult task for you, young master. However, Old Sir He's actions were made out of a public mind, and not to deliberately put you in a tough spot, young master. Young master should pay more attention next time ..."

"Hmph..."

To speak until this point, Wei Xinglu had basically been aware of the current state of affairs. He was lucid and clear about the context of the whole story.

The original truth was so, he thought.

Young Master Yun was a great man who cared about comradeship and affection.

However, at the same time, his heart was also full of rage. He Hanqing had actually wanted to lay a trap for him?

...

However, little did Wei Xinglu know that although Yun Yang had, in fact, went to the Residence of He, the words that he spoke to the gatekeepers were definitely not the words being imagined by Wei Xinglu.

"Is He Hanqing the old bastard at home?"

"Who are you?"

"I am your old uncle!"

"Presumptuous fool!"

"You watchdog, how dare you curse your old uncle?"

The heated exchange was merely the uttering of these incendiary phrases!
