Three days later.
Shan Qing Luo returned to Fragrance City.
One of the first things she did was visit Tranquil Phoenix Pavilion.
After a few days had passed, this devilish woman seemed more and more flirtatious and alluring. Her whole being constantly exuded an aura of unparalleled seduction, meanwhile, her slim exquisite body seemed to appear delicate and fragile yet, in fact, contained a tremendous explosive strength.
Not only was she amongst the most beautiful woman in the world, she was also one of its apex masters, something no one could deny.
Her watery enchanting eyes stared into Yang Kai's as she giggled charmingly, "Little bastard husband, you've been quite well behaved these past few days I see."
Yang Kai remained indifferent and coldly snorted, "Where were you don't you feel guilty leaving your husband here alone!"
Shan Qing Luo simply laughed though and leaned in closer to him as she whispered into his ear, "Was Bi Luo's technique that bad?"
"So-so…" Yang Kai instantly blushed upon realizing he had been exposed and quickly changed the topic, "You temptress, what exactly do you want in coming here?"
"Nothing much." Shan Qing Luo's tender body twisted as she put on a shy face, gently sat down atop the bed next to him, and smiled invitingly, "Are you bored staying here already?
"What do you think?" Yang Kai glared back at her coldly.
"Alright alright, don't be so angry." Shan Qing Luo suddenly became serious and solemnly said "So when are you going to leave as I already knew you was just staying here and if you wanted to leave no one can stop you"
Yang kai stared at her seemingly bewildered as he has not thought that she already knew it and said "I was planning to take you with me but I thought you should have your territory to rule so I waited for you to come so that I can leave after meeting with you".
Shan Qing Luo was somewhat unhappy but she let him go and nodded.
Seeing her gloomy look he smiled and give a slight peck on her lips and take a ring from the inventory as same as the Di Yishuang and said, "Wear it always with you if you're in any danger it will teleport you to me from any corner of the world".
She just nodded knowing his husband has some secrets but she decided not to dwell on it.
...........................….
Yang kai returned to High Heaven Pavilion through his clone he gained knowledge that the Eight Great Families have not sent anyone, but all the other Families and Sects had heard about the appearance of the Heaven's Cave Inheritance and dispatched experts to this region. They are still trying to win over those disciples from the Three Sects who gained opportunities in the Heaven's Cave Inheritance. Whether they are from the High Heaven Pavilion, the Bloody Battle Gang, or the Storm Hall, over the past few months many of their disciples were snatched away.
Currently there were three great forces in High Heaven Pavilion, the Dong Family, the Bai Family, and the Purple Fern Valley, each one was not to be underestimated. These forces were second only to the Eight Great Families, each having deep heritages and countless masters. These forces may be able to intimidate others, but to Yang Kai they were nothing much.
Yang Kai walked towards his own small broken house.
"Yang Kai! It's Yang Kai, he's actually came back at this time!" Some people who spotted Yang Kai could not help but exclaim.
"Do you think, he'll be recruited by one of those three forces?"
"He'll certainly be recruited; these days how many disciples have been snatched up by those people? All these years in the Sect, he's experienced a lot of bitterness, and up till now, he's still a Trial Disciple. If he had a better place to go, why would he think twice about staying here? Not to mention those three forces' offers are very tempting."
"He's just an ungrateful wolf." A spitting noise could be heard, mixed with contempt, and not a small amount of jealousy.
Yang Kai remained indifferent, not bothering with this nonsense. As for his becoming core discipline has not yet been publicize, In fact he was the one who requested this.
Although officially he was a High Heaven Pavilion Core Disciple, but he only stayed here because it was convenient, even if he were to leave the Sect, there would be no psychological burden, why would he care what was being gossiped about him?
Not long after, he came to his old broken cabin.
Outside the wooden house, there were two old men, one was standing, while the other was leaning against the wall, their hands tucked away beneath their sleeves. As Yang Kai walked by, the two old men did not even look at him, their eyes lightly shut, lazily basking in the sun.
However, when Yang Kai approached within three hundred feet of the wooden house, two Divine Senses suddenly fell upon him, there was no killing intent, but the warning was clear.
At that moment, Yang Kai was not a bit affected. When the two Soul Pressures hit him, it was like a stone being thrown into an infinite ocean, causing not the slightest ripple.
The two sleepy old men suddenly woke up, a flash of light appeared in their eyes as they looked with surprise at Yang Kai. Obviously, this young man's reaction was far outside their expectation.
Wanting to deliver a harsher blow, they suddenly heard a voice call out from inside the wooden house, "Stop!"
After they heard this voice, the momentum coming from these two old men shrank, once again becoming harmless, but their eyes maintained their vigilance, constantly observing Yang Kai.
From inside the cabin, a man wearing a blue gown walked out, about twenty years old or so with sharp brows, a noble expression, handsome looks, dignified aura, and extraordinary temperament; one look and you could tell he was the son of some great family.
However, his body was a little on the plump side, giving him a slightly naive and charming appeal. His skin was also pale, far more so than an average woman.
Right then, that man looked towards Yang Kai, their lines of sight meeting mid-air
After a moment, the man stepped forward, walking towards Yang Kai, his pace steadily increasing.
"Young Master!" One of the two old men seeing this could not help calling out.
"Do not intervene!" The young man ordered.
"Yes"
Yang Kai also walked toward him, a moment later, the two struck out, almost punching at exactly the same time, their fist colliding with a bang and you guys know the result he sent flying to the hut completely dumbfounded.
"Huh?" A trace of surprise flashed across two old man's eyes not unable to see his movement.
"Little brat, you court death!" The Dong Family young master angrily shouted.
Yang Kai sneered back, "We'll see who dies first."
And so their struggle resumed. In the chaos, Yang Kai throwing him to the ground, mercilessly dislocating both of their arms in the process, he grinned, "Smelly brat, give up!"
The Dong Family young master hurriedly spat out a breath of hot air, his hand drooping towards the ground, he raised his head and glared towards the two old men yelling, "Why are you standing around? This young master was just beaten!"
His face covered in dirt, this Dong Family young master's former elegance had long since disappeared.
The two old men finally woke from their awkward dream, quickly approaching.
Yang Kai sneered, quickly retreating several dozen feet.
The two old men did not chase, although their young master was hit, having watched for so long they had obviously grasped a thing or two. This High Heaven Pavilion disciple before them and their young master were obviously old acquaintances; naturally they would not act ruthlessly.
The only question was, why would their young master know someone from this remote place?
The Dong Family young master hurriedly got up and looked towards Yang Kai, a little fear in his eyes, his gaze shifting between their drooping arms, gnashing his teeth saying, "You do have some ability you smelly brat."
Hearing those words Yang Kai laughed, "A river flows thirty years to the east, then thirty years to the west, if you don't pay attention, I'll soon be able to beat you so hard your mother won't recognize you!"
(A/N: Idiom – A river flows thirty years to the east, then thirty years to the west – meaning that over time, there will always be change.)
That Dong Family young master took a deep breath, retorting, "Then I'll be waiting for you!"
"Wind and Cloud Guards?" Yang Kai's eyes gently swept over the two old men, casually inquiring.
The two old men's faces instantly stiffened, staring in shock at Yang Kai, unable to comprehend how their identity was actually seen through by this young man.
Who exactly was he?
The Dong Family young master smiled, "Do not be shocked, this little brat's surname is Yang!"
Surnamed Yang! If so the situation had changed again dramatically as they suddenly guessed Yang Kai's identity, quickly cupping their fists, "Greetings Young Master Yang!"
~~~~~SKIP THIS IF YOU HAVE READ MARTIAL PEAK STRONGLY SUGGESTED~~~~~
In this vast world there was only one group of people surnamed Yang that Dong Qing Han would deliberately bring up.
That was because amongst the Eight Great Families there was one surnamed Yang! This mysterious and often reclusive Yang Family also happened to be the strongest of the Eight Great Families!
In this world, the Dong Family was considered a first-class force, but there was still a wide gap between them and the Eight Great Families, not to mention the most powerful one.
If they had been told that a young lord from one of the other great families was staying in this remote place where birds don't shit and the chickens don't lay eggs as some common disciple, they would never have believed it. Those young masters were all treated like pampered heavenly sons, enjoying glory and wealth, never encountering any difficulties from the moment they were born, clear paths to success laid out carefully before them.
But for the youths of the Yang Family, the situation was the opposite.
This was because the Yang Family had an unorthodox method of training, and every generation of direct descendant disciples would experience this while growing up. At some appropriate time, all these direct descendants would be dismissed, each sent out of the family to seek their own cultivation opportunities, until a certain time when they would be recalled.
This way of training was very dangerous, because these direct descendants were forced outside to practice, and thus, they could not use their family's power and resources. Once they encountered a conflict with someone, they may be beheaded, in fact, this kind of thing had occurred many times, leading to these Yang Family disciples to suffer a premature death.
But while there were disadvantages, there were also benefits.
This unique way of training ensured that every Yang Family direct descendant would become strong, purging their dependence on their family and forcing them to endure years of hard work, they would come to know that in this world, your life and your glory depended on only one person, yourself!
So among the Yang Family's disciples, there were very few who would engage in useless dandyism, they were all cold and sharp like blades, each possessing tyrannical means.
In this world there was a bird called the cuckoo.
Cuckoo birds would lay their own eggs in other birds' nests, allowing them to hatch in these foreign birds homes, forcing them to raise them. These hatchlings were brutal, not only monopolizing other's resources, but also pushing the native bird's offspring out of their own nests, causing them to fall to their deaths, making them the only children who survived.
Among birds, the reputation of the cuckoo was not good, and it was also so for the Yang Family among the cultivator's world, because their practices were essentially the same.
Every time the Yang Family was about to send out its disciples, the various Sects around the world would go into high alert, all of them trying to avoid sheltering one of the Yang descendants. Naturally they all feared accidentally receiving such a disciple, nurturing them, and then watching them fly away.
This practice of the Yang Family had of course lead to a lot of dissatisfaction, but because of their unrivaled strength, being the first amongst the Eight Great Families, having both vast power and influence, even if those forces wanted to complain, they still did not dare to find trouble with the Yang Family.
It was said that a hundred years ago, there was a Yang Family disciple who worshiped into a first-class Sect called Gathering Heavens Sect. This Yang Family disciple's talent was outstanding, a rare heaven defying genius.
Gathering Heavens' Sect Master and Elders were also very fond of him, sparing nothing to vigorously cultivating him. They had even named him the Sect's official successor, unreservedly teaching him all their secrets.
This child was truly a dragon amongst men, only taking a few years to learn all of Gathering Heavens' core martial skills, fully comprehending and making them his own, greatly pleasing his teachers.
But, ten years after he had joined, after consuming massive amounts of the Gathering Heavens' Sect resources, this genius disciple whom the Sect Master and Elders had placed all their hopes upon, actually vanished overnight.
Gathering Heavens' Sect Master and Elders all vomited blood! Almost falling into serious illness. They had spent ten years teaching an ungrateful wolf, bestowing him all their secrets and resources, and he had actually turned out to be part of that damned Yang Family. How could they not suffer depression?
Gathering Heavens Sect ȧssembled and went to the Yang Family to seek justice, but in the end was sent away with only some minor compensation.
It was because of this tragedy that the entire world guarded themselves against such events recurring. This was the lesson of history, if they did not learn, the cost would be ten years time raising a Yang Family descendant, then watching him leave. No one wanted to repeat the mistakes of the Gathering Heavens Sect, becoming the buŧŧ of the entire world's jokes.
However, no matter how prepared these forces were, they could not stop these Yang Family descendants from using them as life experiences, simply because before they were sent off, these direct descendants were kept hidden, few people knew their names, and fewer still had ever seen them.
The end result, it was simply impossible to identify a Yang Family descendant!
The Wind and Cloud dual guard's thoughts spun, becoming more and more certain about Yang Kai's true identity, because almost four years ago, the Yang Family had indeed sent out its disciples for their life experience.
Would that not mean that, this youth in front of them was the youngest son of the Yang Family? Wasn't he unsuited to cultivate?
But at least they now understood why their young master knew him. It was actually not all that surprising, because in the previous generation, the Dong Family and the Yang Family had a marriage, and their young master's aunt had been the one to become the Yang Family's, Fourth Master's wife. Their young master had also visited the Yang Family's children several times and must have met him there before.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~BULLSHIT END~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Come inside so we can talk," Dong Qing Han's look was a bit complicated, filled with some confusion and betrayed expectations.
