93 Happy Ending? (1/2)
Interact harmoniously?
Everyone’s eyes went towards the three bloodied bodies, and they shuddered. Three lives had been lost here.
Interact harmoniously? How magnanimous you are!
However, Dong Tianleng, Chun Wanfeng, Xia Bingchuan and even Shui Yuehan and Fu Guansan knew that things had rapidly gotten out of hand.
It would be a difficult mess to clean up.
Dong Tianleng and his cohorts were slightly more naïve – so what if things got out of hand, my family will clean up the mess for me!
It was a different case for Shui Yuehan and Fu Guansan, their minds were muddled goo.
How had things gotten this way?
We were just beginning to approach Yun Zuiyue… We had more tactics up our sleeves, more detailed plans…We had not yet even begun!
What should we do now that this has happened?
They stared at this Young Master Yun in bewilderment for a moment. Of course, they did not miss his low cultivation base.
Was he not even at the third peak? Perhaps barely at the third peak? He was just an ant!
”I really don’t understand.” Yun Yang said as if agonized, ”Everyone here carries a certain status and reputation… I was still planning to watch the fun but you fellows just murdered a few men within the blink of an eye… How could you? How could you do this?”
Xia Bingchuan’s ear was pierced, blood dripping profusely; he was agitated and said in an ill-tempered manner, ”What are you trying to say? Can you be a bit more straightforward?”
Yun Yang held Dong Tianleng back from erupting again and said sincerely, ”Actually I have no place to speak in this but now that things have gotten to this stage, we need to resolve it. This young brother is thick skinned enough to become the peacemaker. Of course, if young masters, Sir Shui and Keeper Fu think that I’m not qualified, I shall just take a step back.”
All of them did not wish for this to drag on.
Shui Yuehan and Fu Guansan had other important responsibilities with them, how could they allow the matter to worsen? Chun Wanfeng, Xia Bingchuan and the rest felt that they had the advantage since the opposite party had three people dead while their side only suffered minor injuries. Naturally, they wanted to end things on that note.
Although everyone wore disgusted looks, clearly not considering Yun Yang to be substantial enough to listen to him speak, they did not comment, and their silence acknowledged their consent to have Yun Yang as a peacemaker.
”This is very normal.” Peacemaker Young Master Yun Yang said in earnest, ”It’s all just a dispute over emotions. I have to chide Sir Shui and Keeper Fu though… Lady Yun is a woman. She doesn’t like to drink but the two of you just had to keep on insisting.”
”Lady Yun is simply drinking with the brother she has just acknowledged, with family. What jealousy did you fellows harbor?”
Yun Yang shook his head and sighed, ”Young Master Dong, your temper is really volatile, springing up like that. How could you be so rash? Your actions will trouble your sister too, how is she going to make a living in Tiantang City after this? You can’t be here every day. I have to say, you didn’t think this through enough.”
Dong Tianleng was ashamed. ”Sister Yue, it’s my fault. I’ve caused you trouble.”
Yun Zuiyue forced a smile and said, ”Younger brother’s trouble will never be trouble to this sister.”
Dong Tianleng felt even more remorseful, heaving a long sigh.
Chun Wanfeng and Xia Bingchuan both looked at Dong Tianleng in shock. What’s wrong with this imbecile today? He’s admitting to his mistake after being chided.
F*ck me, is this still Dong Tianleng?
”Sir Shui and Keeper Fu came to force his newly sworn sister to drink…” Yun Yang said earnestly, putting himself in the other’s shoes, ”Honestly, it’d be hard for me to swallow too if it were me. This is too humiliating to set aside.”
”So some harsh words were thrown and then three lives were lost.” Yun Yang looked as if he was at a loss for words. ”Honestly, I didn’t even see how these three had died.”
Everyone including Shui Yuehan with the highest cultivation base nodded. Yeah, how did these three people die? I didn’t even see how it happened. Was it that chaotic just now?
”However, we must resolve this matter before word gets out. With the high standing of everyone present, waiting for the official sentence would be somewhat… embarrassing.”
Yun Yang’s words struck a chord within everyone.
The ruling of the officials would mean that everyone would be taken away… How could this work?
”It will severely affect Cirrus House’s reputation as well. Once the officials butt in, even if the house doesn’t close down, it’s certain to put a halt to business for a few months with the loss of these three lives,” Yun Yang sighed.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Dong Tianleng nodded. I can’t cause my newly acquired sister to lose her business and not make money. She has just taken me in as her younger brother and I’ve already caused her years of effort; her money-making business will go down the drain!
Who else would dare to forge a relationship with Dong Tianleng? I’m f*cking called Dong Tianleng, I’m not called the Star of Misfortune…
Both Shui Yuehan and Fu Guansan nodded. We still have missions in Cirrus House. If the business closes, how are we supposed to complete them?
”My suggestion is… to let it go, just as it is.” Yun Yang said in a magnanimous manner.
Shui Yuehan and Fu Guansan both looked like they had swallowed turds.
We have three of my people dead here, and he’s suggesting to let it go just like this?
”Absolutely not!” Xia Bingchuan gritted his teeth, tension on his neck. ”Someone pierced through my ear!”
Dong Tianleng said angrily, ”It’s your ear that’s gotten pierced, not under your stomach. What are you making a fuss about?”
Xia Bingchuan raged. ”Dong Tianleng, do you still have your conscience? This was all for helping you!”
”Hey, hey, both of you. Listen to me.” Yun Yang continued to mediate, ”What I meant was that you shouldn’t be going about it this way, listen to me first, alright?”
