“Uncle, Mother, what I said is completely true! If you do not believe me…. Ask Father!” Yun Xiao continued hurriedly. The miracle that had happened to Yun Qinghong caused him such joy that he felt like blood was rushing throughout his entire body. It could be said that in his entire lifetime, he had never been as excited as he was right now.
“And this… is?” The woman whom Yun Xiao supported did not seem to hear his words at all. After she entered the room, her gaze fell directly on Yun Che, and did not move at all after that. Yun Che also looked at her, his lips repeatedly closing and opening, yet he did not utter a single word.
The years did not leave many marks on her body, but it seemed to have left her with many scars. Anyone could see that in her youth, she had been a peerless beauty. Her appearance was gentle and elegant, her disposition, graceful and noble. Yet her disposition was not so much one of excessive nobility, it was more like she exuded an aura of melancholy… A deeply engraved melancholy that seemed to sit between her brows and in her soul. The melancholy was so deep that it seemed like even one thousand years would not be enough to clear it away. Even if an insensitive person saw her, he or she would clearly be able to feel her sorrow.
Her face showed the same kind of paleness as Yun Qinghong. Even though she could walk, each step showed a noticeable weakness; even her eyes seemed to be covered in with a layer of haziness.
Her current state might have been slightly better than Yun Qinghong’s… but it was not better by much.
She… is my… birth mother…
Mother…
“Could it be that you are the young man who saved this kid and the Under Heaven Family’s girl?” Mu Yubai measured Yun Che with his eyes. When he felt his profound strength level, his brows making an obvious movement.
“Mn, mn!” Yun Xiao nodded his head, his expression filled with excitement as he said, “Let me introduce him to you. Mother, Uncle, this person is Brother Yun. When Seventh Sister and I were ambushed by the men in black, he was the one who saved us…. Uh, Mother? Mother, are you alright? Why do you keep staring at Brother Yun?”
Yun Xiao waved his hand in front of Mu Yurou’s eyes a couple of times. It was only after this that she recovered from her stupor. After which, she gently laughed, “It’s nothing, I am just very grateful. This child seems to feel so close and familiar to me, it is as if…. I had seen him once very long ago. Yun Che… Ah, so your surname is also Yun. I am Yun Xiao’s mother, thank you for saving my Xiao’er.”
After saying this, Mu Yurou wanted to raise her body slightly, but Yun Che hurriedly stepped forward, “Au… Aunt Yun, please do not salute me. When I first saw Yun Xiao, it was like meeting an old friend. Also we have the same surname, and saving him was as simple as lifting a finger. Moreover, we are preparing to become sworn brothers, so please do not salute this junior in any way whatsoever.”
“This…” Mu Yurou was slightly startled.
“Hoho.” Yun Qinghong laughed, and looking at Yun Che, he said, “Yurou, you and I both share this same feeling, like we have seen him somewhere before. Just now, I even said that he looked like me in my youth, or perhaps he really does share some great affinity with our family… Yubai, how did the two of you find out about Xiao’er being ambushed?”
Mu Yubai sternly declared, “The precious daughter of the Under Heaven family was almost killed. Greatest Ambition Under Heaven would definitely go wild with anger, so this old man quickly learned about this matter, but unfortunately, Yurou also heard it. Hmph…” Mu Yubai’s expression became dark, “Looks like some people think that they’ve been living too comfortably, so they’re in a hurry to court death! This matter has already drawn my attention, and that old dog from the Under Heaven family is definitely even more focused on it. I believe that it will only be a short while before we ferret out these bastards who are clearly tired of living.”
“I’m just afraid that this current situation is a tad more complicated than what you think it is.” Yun Qinghong said while sighing.
Mu Yubai’s eyes flashed, “Brother-in-law, did you perceive something?”
