1250 Is Tomorrow The Beginning Or The End?
The Mysterious Yang Jade â The accompanying item to the Mysterious Yang Jade Essence, one of the Nine Great Herbal Medicines in the world!
From the start of time till now, Chu Yang was the only person to have ever possessed the Mysterious Yang Jade Essence!
In the whole world, only a few select people possessed the Mysterious Yang Jade; and they were all gifts from Chu Yang!
When Chu Yang had gotten the Mysterious Yang Jade Essence back then, he had given the two Shadows one each. The one he had given to Tie Butian was still hanging on her neck even now.
In that case, who did those hanging on Lan Ruoâs neck belong to?
Where had the Shadows gone?
The Shadows knew that he was the one who had given Tie Butian the Nine Tribulations Pill but Lan Ruo had only realized upon seeing him. This meant that the Shadows were aware of this but did not inform him.
But their jade pendants were with Lan Ruo now.
Where had the Shadows gone? The answer was practically obvious to all!
Chu Yang understood the moment he thought about it â Lan Ruo must have gone to the Shadows for information to get to the bottom of the matter the moment he had come down to the Lower Three Heavens. However, the two Shadows must have refused to reveal anything no matter what and were killed by Lan Ruo in the end!
The Mysterious Yang Jade naturally fell into the hands of Lan Ruo after that.
If not, the Shadows would never separate the jade from themselves. The Mysterious Yang Jade could be said to be crucial to the two of them! And it could even improve oneâs body constitution. Why would anyone give away such a treasure?
Chu Yang wished he could smack Lan Ruo to death right now; why would he have any interest in entering any sort of partnership with him?
The conclusion was apparent from the abovementioned few points â No matter how much effort the Lan Clan put in and no matter how they sucked up and curried favor with him, in the eyes of Chu Yang, they had already been given the death sentence!
With no chance of any change!
The Lan Clan had unwittingly laid the foundation to get close to the Nine Tribulations Sword Master and extending ten thousand years of prosperity. Yet they had also unwittingly destroyed all of it completely!
How could this not be said to be destiny making fools out of them!
If the Lan Clan were to realize, the number of people who would throw up blood and die with immense regrets definitely would not just be a few!
The meal continued all the way till late night.
Chu Yang could be said to have reaped a lot of benefits from this. This was his first time having his understanding of the Nine Super Clansâ power put into perspective!
This trip was definitely not made in vain.
Only when they were about to call it a night did Chu Yang, while cleaning his teeth with a toothpick, finally ask casually, âHow many people did you bring down here with you?â
âFourteen. Including myself, fifteen.â Lan Ruo let out a wry chuckle. âBut Big Brotherâs actions are quick too. Three out of the four people in the palace have already been killed by you.â
âHuh?â Chu Yang got a shock. âThose three whom Iâve killed are all your men?â He stamped his foot and sighed. âOh dear, I saw them behaving suspiciously in the palace and their cultivation was so high, so I just killed them along the way. I didnât expect them to be our men⊠This, this, this⊠This is too embarrassing.â
âItâs fine.â Lan Ruo could only stomach the misfortune. He smiled and said, âDying at the hands of Big Brother can also be considered their fortune. Big Brother need not worry himself over this.â
âHow can I not!â Chu Yang was very much displeased. He lamented guiltily, âWhat if I kill another one tomorrow? Even if you donât mind, I mind! These are all our manpower.â
âHow about this?â After a pause, he said, âGather everyone tomorrow; Iâll meet with them. After all, we still have a long way here in the Lower Three Heavens. How are we to do things if we donât know each other?â
Lan Ruo thought about it and answered without any hesitation, âAlright! Weâll do as Big Brother says.â He smiled and continued, âIâm staying at the old site of the Heavenly Armament Pavilion where Big Brother used to stay. If Big Brother is free tomorrow, you can get Feng Qiliang to bring you there. Weâll have a good gathering then.â
Chu Yang agreed at once. âWeâll do just that.â
He smiled and said meaningfully, âLan Ruo, weâre not going to be doing nothing here in the Lower Three Heavens.â
A wave of agitation went through Lan Ruo. âBig Brother needs only to tell us if thereâs something he needs.â
Chu Yang patted his shoulder. âIâll make arrangements tomorrow when our men are all here.â
âAlright.â Lan Ruo was overjoyed.
He had finally gotten Chu Yangâs approval.
What would the arrangements tomorrow be like?
Lan Ruo couldnât help but look forward to it very much.
The Lan Ruo right now definitely wouldnât expect that Chu Yangâs so-called âIâll make arrangements tomorrow when our men are all hereâ was to⊠arrange for all of them to report to hell!
âBig Brother, where are our other brothers?â Lan Ruo was rather anxious to build good relations with the others.
Lan Ruo could only confirm that he had truly been accepted if he could meet the other Nine Tribulations.
Chu Yang smiled. âThey are all in the Middle Three Heavens.â
âThen how did you get here, Big Brother?â Lan Ruo was rather perplexed.
âI have already been here for more than a year. I was in seclusion in a secret location during this period of time.â Chu Yang smiled warmly. âWhen youâre free and weâre done with the matters here in the Iron Cloud Citadel, Iâll bring you there. The spiritual energy there is abundant, almost to the point of solidifying. Your cultivation will definitely improve by leaps and bounds!â
Yes, Iâll let you go to hell. Iâm sure spiritual energy would be sufficient there.
As for whether you can improve by leaps and bounds there, I really couldnât care less.
âThank you, Big Brother!â
Lan Ruo was thrilled.
What happened after was of course everyone socializing and drinking to their heartsâ content. The more they drank, the more they felt that no one was an outsider here, and so they were a lot more relaxed in conversing.
Using the influence of alcohol as a front, as well as feeling that he was already on familiar terms with Chu Yang, Lan Ruo couldnât stop himself from making a small joke. He leaned over to Chu Yang and whispered softly in his ear, âBig Brother, hehe⊠It must have felt great going at it with the Emperor the past few days? HahahahaâŠâ
Murderous intent surged within Chu Yang. He laughed loudly and said, âThis fellow! Iâm going to get angry if you continue to talk about this!â
Lan Ruo burst into laughter.
To Lan Ruo, if he had such a woman, the feeling of pressing on top of the ruler of an empire and doing whatever he pleased to her was a thrill that couldnât compare to anything else. If he had been Chu Yang and someone had made such a joke to him, it would have been totally up his alley.
Putting himself in Chu Yangâs shoes, Lan Ruo naturally assumed that since they were both men, Chu Yang must feel the same way as him! And that he must definitely be filled with endless triumph.
But it never would have occurred to him that Chu Yang could treat anything as a joke but he would never joke about his woman in front of outsiders!
In front of outsiders, Chu Yang would never use his family, parents, brothers, women⊠as any kind of joke!
This was Chu Yangâs biggest taboo!
Lan Ruoâs little joke as a means to get closer to him had completely ignited the murderous intent within King of Hell Chuâs heart. His fury knew no bounds!
The night ended after everyone had thoroughly enjoyed themselves, no matter from whose perspective.
Chu Yang got onto the white horse. Under the enthusiastic waving of the five Lan Clan members, they agreed on the meeting time for the next day. Then, he galloped off, reluctant to part.
Behind him were five Lan Clan members who couldnât hide their excitement.
âWhat do you all think?â asked Lan Ruo heavily as he watched Chu Yang and his white horse disappear into the dark night.
âThere shouldnât be⊠any big problems.â Lan Xinhua breathed a sigh of relief and said, âItâs apparent that heâs still holding back but this only goes to show his prudence. As for our talk tonight⊠I didnât detect any problems.â
âI think so too.â With his hands clasped behind his back, Lan Ruo said dispassionately, âIf he wants to unite the Nine Heavens, then he would require people to help him! The current Nine Tribulations are not strong enough to help him yet, so our suggestion today is most likely a much-needed gesture of help during his time of need.â
âYes, thatâs why Chu Yang was quick to drop his dissatisfaction toward the way we had invited him.â Lan Chengfeng agreed.
âYes.â Lan Ruo was a little regretful. âI really should have used a gentler approach. This manâs personality is obviously quite average; heâs definitely rather rash and hot-headed.â
âBut from the looks of things, weâve already done pretty well. The key is in our performance later on.â Lan Xinhua comforted him. âThere must be something he wants to accomplish in the Lower Three Heavens⊠When that time comes, you can go ahead and do it alone with him. We will not participate. If we do⊠the influence on the mood and impression will be too big.â
âYes, he would end up thinking of me as an Eldest Young Master who can only rely upon his home clan if we do thatâŠâ Lan Ruo murmured, âBut how can I, Lan Ruo, possibly be that kind of person? Moreover, itâs easier to develop our friendship if itâs just the two of us.â
However, in his heart, he thought, âFriendship? What is friendship worth?â
âEverything will be unveiled tomorrow.â Lan Xinhuaâs heart was at ease. He smiled and said, âWe can finally have a good sleep tonight. I wonder how overjoyed the clan would be if they knew about this.â
There was a hint of a reserved smile on Lan Ruoâs face.
Tomorrow will be the best start to everything! We will lay the foundation of the Lan Clanâs ten thousand years of prosperity!
Lan Ruo was filled with an excited sense of accomplishment.
âŠ
Tie Butian sat on the chair, her right palm against her cheek as she waited quietly.
The little fellow had already gone back to his room to sleep long ago. Tie Butian had initially expected him to be unable to tolerate it but she didnât expect him to be so independent.
He was actually able to sleep incredibly soundly all by himself in the room.
Right now, Tie Butian was waiting for Chu Yang to return home. She was just like a regular peasant woman waiting for her husband to return home from work.
If we were just regular people, I would definitely spend my life with you. No matter when, as long as you come home, you will see someone waiting for you.
Tie Butian was lost in her thoughts, her face red. Before this, she had never thought that there would be a day where she, the sovereign of a generation, would be willing to put away her disguise and resume her female form and wait wholeheartedly for someoneâs return.
Such days were something that she didnât even dare to dream of. But now that Chu Yang was here, everything had become reality.
âChu Yang⊠Little Tian Tian likes you,â murmured Tie Butian distractedly. The moment she uttered these words, she was so embarrassed that she wanted to bury herself in a hole. âThis is too mushyâŠâ
The lights on the table flickered, causing the whole room to be lit up red.
Out of some kind of emotion, Tie Butian did not make any changes to Chu Yangâs set up from the previous night, including the carpet, red candles, tassels, etcâŠ
She let her bedchamber stay like this without any change.
She wished to retain her nuptial chamber and her happiness for a little longerâŠ
