Gugu looked menacing as she trembled from the anger.

Seeing that the situation had taken an odd turn, Brother Wei, who was standing aside, jumped out quickly and said with a smile, "This is… Young Master Yun? I’m Gugu’s eldest senior brother, my family name is Wei."

Yun Yang looked surprised, a panicked expression that wanted to pander to the former yet not knowing what to do. He looked like he wanted desperately to leave the family of the person he liked with a good impression but was at the same time miserable from being unable to rearrange his expression. "Uh – uh… this… Eldest senior brother… uh – I… I didn’t know… Come, come – quick, come in… Uh, treat my home as your own home when coming here…'

He actually smiled shyly while he spoke, scratching his head helplessly – a perfectly innocent look of a naïve youth.

Gugu was about to spit blood from the fury.

Looking at her eldest senior brother actually being beguiled by Yun Yang and was about to take a step forward, she screamed, "Eldest senior brother, ignore him! He really isn’t a good msn!"

Eldest senior brother glanced at Yun Yang subconsciously as he heard the words, being greeted by Yun Yang who looked sorrowful but was suppressing his feelings; Yun Yang’s gaze dimmed a little when he said softly, "Gugu, I know that I shouldn’t have done that… You have every right to be angry… but I am Yutang’s man after all…"

He grinned bitterly and turned to say, "We’re people from two different worlds. Eldest senior brother, please take Gugu and leave. This is Yutang’s land. If you two stay any longer, there might be repercussions… Both of you no longer possess the identities you all did the last time…"

He lowered his head and said, "Take care… Take good care of yourselves in the future."

Yun Yang’s crestfallen demeanor was engaging, his heartbroken façade seemed utterly genuine.

Watching his expression, the eldest senior brother could not help feeling like he understood as much and that his junior sister was a little overboard and heartless with how she had reacted.

The truth was laid before the eyes – what else could he not understand? It was a pair of matching lovers who fell in love at first sight, but due to their background of two different countries, two different worlds… they had to suppress whatever it was that they had felt. Yet they were a young man and lady after all, the emotions could hardly be stifled upon meeting once again.

Therefore, a constant stream of conflicts was on repeat once both of them got together.

Yun Yang had said just now that he should not have done that – what did he mean?

The eldest senior brother felt like he knew well enough what it was.

What was it for that he and Gugu had darted around three countries? Was it not for the Soul-Sealing Spike?

Gugu had left a spike for Yun Yang… although she had said that it was to use the needle to plot against Yun Yang, it seemed now that the real situation might not be so…

There used to be romance sparked from swords, this right now could be romance sparked from spikes!

As For Yun Yang, who had utilized the Soul-Sealing Spike and plotted against the other countries, causing the massive misunderstanding between Dongxuan and the nations then resulting in Gugu’s rage, the reason of her anger was probably less of what she said about embarrassment turned to fury from being inferior in her skills but it was because the person she liked had used her and deceived her!

Everything about this matter was crystal clear; it was so obvious and logical, taking the most natural course!

Looking at Gugu, who was trembling and about to tear up, then at Yun Yang’s guilt-stricken face in addition to his miserable expression… the eldest senior brother could not help wanting to sigh – the word ‘love’ would be the most troublesome since the beginning of times. The ancient sayings never lied!

"Since we’ve come here already, we shall have to stay for a cup of tea regardless." The eldest senior brother smiled warmly and said, "It just remains to be seen whether Young Master Yun is convenient to have us."

Yun Yang looked surprised from the affection as he hurriedly said, "It is, it is! Very convenient! Convenient even when it’s not!"

He then welcomed the duo inside, almost too warmly. His gestures were big and he almost waved his arms away.

If Gugu were to remove her disguise, her pale face could probably be compared to a dead person’s. She was huffing while her feet seemed to have been nailed onto the ground; her eyes glared at Yun Yang unblinkingly, like she wanted to swallow him whole.

The eldest senior brother pulled Gugu’s sleeves and said in a low voice, "Gugu, stop being impulsive. Have you forgotten what we’ve come for?"

Upon saying so, he pulled Gugu in.

The eldest senior brother was more rational than emotional about the current event. No matter what an entanglement they were in, they stood against each other; the conflict of them being enemies remained after all. No matter how tasteless and shameless Yun Yang was in using the Soul-Sealing Spike, it was rightful of him to resort to any conceivable means since they were enemies.

If they were to only speak of the results now, disregarding the fact that their standpoints varied entirely, the eldest senior brother would express his admiration over the excellence of Yun Yang’s trick – it was wonderful, marvelously so!

Gugu was so enraged that she might just die from of suffocation, the fury licking about in her core was ready to explode anytime now but she had to walked in passively. Her eldest senior brother was right; if they did not enter straightaway, what meaning would their trip to Yutang this time entail? How could they solve their current impasse?

If she were to return directly from being infuriated, was it not foolish to have made their trip here? To travel thousands of miles only to turn around? That would be absurd.

Thinking deeper, for Yun Yang who was such a despicable, shameless, and scurrilous bastard, he must have no other aim than to muddle up and confuse others – he might even reap some benefits from the chaos, and Gugu would never let him get his way!

Yet this bastard was such a natural in his acting, worthy of an award, that her eldest senior brother had already bought his flowery words and believed that she had some sort of unspoken feelings for him!

This was what Gugu could not accept the most. It was a feeling harder to swallow than eating a fly. Her glare towards Yun Yang grew even more brutish, like she was just a sliver of self-control away from pouncing and chewing two mouthfuls of Yun Yang to vent her anger.

"Wait up please, everyone." Yun Yang made a simple request towards the people from the four noble families and walked right into his yard.

The eldest senior brother and Gugu followed; one of them was graceful and elegant while another had her head lowered while watching her stomach, feeling like it might explode any given second. She had to hold it in in fear of her eldest senior brother being tricked…

Behind them, the experts of the three noble families looked like they knew what was going on – it was obviously a couple who had an argument; it was obvious from the shy looks and refusal to lift the head up. Certainly, it must be so.

However, at the bottom of their hearts, Dong Tianleng, Chun Wanfeng and the other two young masters knew something was amiss.

This seemed a little strange.

Since when has boss been related to this girl?

If he was, we wouldn’t have not known it.

Besides… people like boss, even if he really did like the girl, he’d never behave this way.

This was more like acting!

We, four popinjays, will need this sort of trick to get the girls but excellent goods like boss did not need such effort– he only needed to wait for the girls to get him…

Such humbleness and subservience… there must be something wrong!

The four young masters glanced at each other, exchanging of a series of looks.

The saying that the wise sometimes makes a mistake while the fool could sometimes score was true. Experienced as the aged martial artists might be, they could sometimes make a blunder in their judgement while the popinjays had moments where they could see the truth!

"Eldest senior brother… cough… I wonder if I can call you so…" Yun Yang said abashedly, "May I ask for your name?"

The eldest senior brother smiled warmly and answered, "My family name is Wei, as in the word danger; this surname is quite rare. My name is Wei Xinglu, call me eldest senior brother just like Gugu."

"Eldest senior brother Wei," Yun Yang called. "Your reputation precedes you."

Wei Xinglu smiled faintly. "I’ve long heard that Young Master Yun is superior to others. Now that I’ve met you today, indeed you shine brightly, your elegance is extraordinary."

Yun Yang laughed. "Eldest senior brother flatters me. I say eldest senior brother is the outstanding one; the School of Spring and Autumn’s reputation is renowned throughout the martial arts world while eldest senior brother’s valiance spreads afar. This younger brother has always admired such that I’d love to join School of Spring and Autumn and spend time with eldest senior brother."

Wei Xinglu chuckled and thought, "This child probably loves to join School of Spring and Autumn and spend time with junior sister instead. Use me as a smokescreen? Not bad, not bad at all."

"A standard like yours and you wish to enter the doors of the School of Spring and Autumn? Dream on! Even if you did enter, you’re only worthy of being an odd-job man who cleans! Such a status should already make your ancestors proud!" Gugu snorted in derision.

Yun Yang seemed to be submitting to the indignation as he answered, "Gugu is right… My talent is ordinary, it’s my wishful thinking… I’ve thought too much…"

Wei Xinglu could not take it anymore as he chided, "Gugu, how can you speak like that as a lady? You’ve already taken your restraints off in front of everyone just now, how can you still be like this now?"

Wei Xinglu’s tone was stringent, his intention to teach Gugu a lesson evident.

Gugu pouted like she was greatly wronged but no longer spoke to retort.

Yun Yang hopped in to mediate, saying, "Gugu’s always been forward and direct. Eldest senior brother needn’t mind, there aren’t any outsiders here."

Wei Xinglu smiled, all the more satisfied with his junior sister’s ‘crush’; he especially agreed with what Yun Yang said about there being no outsiders here, thinking that his junior sister’s tough personality was complimented well by Young Master Yun’s gentle manner that was forgiving. Just thinking about both of them being together, he knew his junior sister would not suffer for the rest of her life.

Besides, although this Young Master Yun said that his talent was ordinary, his real ability was anything but that. Despite his young age, he already had the cultivation base of mystical Qi sixth peak in addition to the surging mystical Qi within him, it was obvious that he was near another breakthrough…

In other words, this child might advance to the seventh peak very soon!

It was no simple task.

Just like the innately gifted disciples in the School of Spring and Autumn, how many of them had Young Master Yun’s cultivation base when they were his age?

The combination of all the above – Young Master’s striking looks, his excellent capability, his personal arduous personality, his mild temper and even his substantial family background… while it might still pale a little to suit his junior sister, it was more than alright.

Too much would not be great as someone who was higher qualified might not look at his junior sister instead!
