Chapter 362: I Understand!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Yun Yang continued reading.

"The child is named Yu Qiankun, nicknamed Bao’er. He is my child. Bao’er is not terribly gifted, having only five innately awakened chakras, but that matters not. I only hope for him to be safe and sound, living his life peacefully."

This was followed by a long description of her child, followed by messages for the brothers. Yun Yang read without skimping until the very end.

"If any brother read this letter of mine, I am afraid that not many among us remain. I sincerely hope that each one of you who survived will live happily after. Do not pursue revenge, do not carry that sort of burden. Be well and live well."

"Only by living will you truly find the greatest happiness!"

"The child’s token is at…"

The will ended. The weight in Yun Yang’s heart grew heavier.

He had called his comrade fourth brother for a few years only to realize now that it should have been fourth sister. No, it seemed more appropriate to call her sister-in-law!

He then recalled something and reread the will again. There was a part of it that Yun Yang had read over and over again, a full eighteen times of repetition.

"The one I have wronged the most in this life is my son. Of royal blood, he does not get to enjoy any privileges that come with it. As a child with parents, he will not receive any love from them. As a descendant of the Nine Supremes, he will forever remain silent, unable to lift his head in pride."

Yun Yang folded the letter and took in a deep breath, lifting his head.

Supreme Water’s will contained no tendency or biasedness; she only wished for her and Supreme Earth’s child to be safe and peacefully live out his life. It was plainly worded, but it was the biggest wish a mother could make for her child. In spite of this, Yun Yang had managed to read between the lines from what she had written.

"Of royal blood, he does not get to enjoy any privileges that come with it. As a child with parents, he will not receive any love from them. As a descendant of the Nine Supremes, he will forever remain silent, unable to lift his head in pride."

"Fourth brother… fourth sister… no, it should be sister-in-law… Never mind, I guess it doesn\'t really matter now how I address you." Yun Yang chuckled bitterly, deep in reverie. "Fourth sister didn’t say it out loud and it’s impossible for her to explicitly state the fact, but I can understand her desire to recompense her child."

"Of note would be the resentment hidden within! No wonder I was the only one who could assure her!"

"Fourth sister, do not worry," Yun Yang said quietly, "Since you trusted us with your child and there’s only me here today among so many brothers, then I will help your child take whatever he deserves!"

"I understand what you and the eldest meant. The child’s name is called Yu Qiankun1! This name itself explains enough to me."

A sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

"This, of course, includes what the eldest has lost! The love of family and the identity of the Nine Supremes’ descendant!"

"One day, I shall announce this to the world."

"Otherwise, how could there be assurance?"

"You, eldest brother, and the child - are all the same!"

Yun Yang kept Supreme Water’s will carefully, despite having destroyed all the other brothers’ wills. Only Supreme Water’s letter could not be damaged; Yun Yang had other plans for it.

He stored the jade ornament containing the Holy Water Charm and the introductory cultivation method of Sacred Wood Spell, as well as the child’s authentication token, into the storage ring carefully. Then, for the last time, he wandered longingly around the Residence of Nine Supremes.

There were three more rooms in the residence that were not opened yet - those belonging to the eldest Supreme Earth, ol’ Second Supreme Gold, and ol’ Third Supreme Wood.

Yun Yang paced before the three rooms several times and looked at them with deep emotion before entering Supreme Water’s room once more and breathed in the remaining scent while bidding farewell.

He then went to Supreme Flame, Supreme Thunder, Supreme Blood, and Supreme Wind’s rooms respectively to pay his last respects.

Somehow, Yun Yang still felt that his brothers were still here, until now. They were all waiting for him in their respective rooms. Each time he came to the Residence of Nine Supremes, he simply had to see them before leaving.

"I’ll return soon." Yun Yang said softly, "The next time I come back, I’ll go see you, third brother."

In Yun Yang’s mind, he believed that he did not need a long time to finish cultivating the first stage of Sacred Wood Spell. What he did not realize was that it would be a very long time later before he would enter the residence again, after leaving this time!

Upon exiting, Yun Yang left as a gust of wind immediately, eliminating any possibility of exposing himself.

Perhaps it was due to his emotions that had yet to subside - Yun Yang did not notice that the Residence of Nine Supremes’ thick fog behind him was surging and rolling with an unusual vigor. It somehow could not recover its previous tranquility.

The aged soldiers who stood guard outside slowly turned, delighted from their initial shock as they watched the abnormal movement of the residence’s fog.

"Someone from Nine Supremes Lords is back? I wonder if it is Lord Supreme Wind? Maybe it’s another lord? This is good news, heavenly god news! God bless the Nine Supremes, God bless Yutang!"

After a long, long time, the fog that enveloped the Residence of Nine Supremes gradually quieted down. In spite of this, the strange phenomenon gave birth to all the wildest of imaginations for everyone, resulting in a blissfully sleepless night.

At the Residence of Yun, Lao Mei had taken up the responsibility of a supervisor, overseeing the smiths work in earnest.

They had hoped that each part of the Residence of Yun could be restored to its original appearance as much as possible. The only exception was the flower canopy that did not suffer from too much damage and with Yun Yang’s specific instructions, it was left untouched. Consequently, everywhere in Residence of Yun was noisy and merry but that piece of land became a desolated prohibition.

The artisans were surprised, not understanding why that area was prohibited. Were they not reconstructing the Residence of Heavenly Clouds? Then why was such a big piece of land left empty without any effort to repair it?

The accumulated snow and collapsed structures in the residence were cleared within half a day, while all sorts of high-grade construction materials began to appear in the Residence of Yun.

It was a prime example of how money makes the world go round.

The construction materials came in like a surging tide, while white mystical rocks piled up like a mountain. It was the ultimate luxury!

The reason the smiths were bewildered that the land below the canopy was exempted from construction and thoroughly ignored was mainly because every spot in the spacious Residence of Yun was being worked on at the same time. There was not a single spot that was left alone.

They were very spirited about the project. Disregarding the wages, the damaged and collapsed parts were cleared out and harvested carefully. Just the valuable materials from the rubble alone would allow these artisans to make a big sum of fortune.

The Residence of Heavenly Clouds was the residential structure of the royalty’s relative. Marquis Yun himself was the emperor of Yutang’s brother. Despite the fact that the relationship could not be announced, the emperor knew well himself, so there was no way he would maltreat this brother of his.

When the residence was built, all the materials used were of top-notch quality. Although they were mostly destroyed, these ruins still held some value. At least, there were expensive materials that these workers would usually never come across. It was with such a mentality that the project moved along speedily.

Lei Dongtian’s injuries were still as bad as they were before, but the foundation of the Residence of Yun was already about done.

It was just when Lao Mei wanted to ask Yun Yang how he wanted the underground structure to be built that he realized he could no longer find his young master.

"Leaving such a huge responsibility to me, passing several hundred millions silver taels to me… and you disappear just like this? Isn’t young master too trusting?" Lao Mei was dumbfounded.

"This is obviously his trust in you, why don’t you appreciate this honor?" Fang Mofei commented.

"Pooh!" Lao Mei said humorlessly, "Young master has given instructions on the underground structure several times now. If I made my own decision and the end result isn\'t up to his standard, won’t I be the one held accountable?!"

Bai Yixue roamed around, saying with a roll of his eyes, "You’re the main person in charge. Who else, if not you?"

Lao Mei was speechless with exasperation.

Bai Yixue - ever since he had entered the Residence of Yun, his personality had developed into something akin to that of Dong Tianleng! Initially, he was otherworldly with his fluttering white clothes but now, his shamelessness brimmed and any words he spoke made people wish to beat him up. Not even a month had passed!

Old man, this direction is not a healthy direction! We’d be disheartened with you being like this!

Who was Lao Mei though? Quick-witted, he knew there was someone else even when the two people before him were hopeless, as they were happily rejoicing over his misery. Off to Shui Wuyin he went.

He knew that Shui Wuyin was Yun Yang’s trusted subordinate and that the level of trust between them seemed to exceed his own. More importantly, Shui Wuyin’s thoughtfulness was on par with Yun Yang\'s and that made him excel in several aspects.

Looking for help from such a person would only guarantee success. It was the best choice!

Having found Shui Wuyin secretly, he told him of Yun Yang’s plan; Shui Wuyin’s eyes shone at once. "Excellent! This is the classic blind spot! Clever, very clever indeed!"

Shui Wuyin was extremely interested regarding the underground design of the residence. Lao Mei did not even have to urge him and he was already sketching it out meticulously.

"Go according to this."

Four hours of labor later, Shui Wuyin handed over a few drawings.

"Let these six teams work on one side each. When everything is finished, we’ll complete the center passage ourselves. It will warrant complete confidentiality. Maybe boss can open up the passage himself. Then there won’t be any possibility of secrets being divulged."

"Wonderful! Very wonderful indeed!" Lao Mei eyes were round.

No wonder he was only a practitioner all his life, while people like Yun Yang and Shui Wuyin could lead the masses. With how fast their minds worked, he would not be able to keep up even if he was giving chase mounted on a horse!

Not only was the design remarkable, he had figured out a nearly perfect way to ensure secrecy!

It was truly useful when one had a remarkably deceitful mind.

…

Yun Yang did not go home upon exiting the Residence of Nine Supremes, but went straight to the address that Supreme Water claimed her child lived.

This was Yun Yang’s top priority that brooked no delay. Before long, he was swiftly on his way.

Notes:

1 Yu Qiankun (玉乾坤yù qián kūn): The name of Supreme Earth and Supreme Water’s child. Yu is the family name of the Supreme Earth, who is also the crown prince; therefore, sharing the same family name as Yutang’s emperor. Qiankun can mean either the world or the country.
