...............
When they entered the cabin, the interior was still bȧrė, except for a new table topped with some food and wine.
"Sit!" Dong Qing Han said curtly.
"As long he lives, a man must grow." Yang Kai lifted the jug and filled a cup for himself.
"Before when you saw me you were like a mouse meeting a cat, how is it that you're no longer afraid? You actually even dared to hit me." Dong Qing Han until now could still smell and taste the blood in his mouth, showing just how heavy that punch of Yang Kai's had been. Only if was to know he held back because of his relations he would have vomited blood.
"Is there something wrong with that? How many times when we were kids did I have to endure you bullying me?" Yang Kai sneered, not entirely but by the memories of his former self he knew how much he suffered from him.
"That was when I was young." Dong Qing Han said calmly, no trace of regret or emotion being shown, just downing his drink then pushing the glass toward Yang Kai, signalling him to fill it up.
"I did not expect you to come to this place!" Dong Qing Han all of a sudden chuckled, "When I arrived here and heard your name, I really couldn't believe it. It was only after several inquiries that I was sure it was you."
"My father sent me here."
"Oh? Uncle also spent his outside years here?" Dong Qing Han asked surprised.
"He didn't say, he just told me to come to this place." Yang Kai said calmly.
"How are my father and mother?" After remaining silent for a while, Yang Kai looked up and asked.
Dong Qing Han looked at him and said, "Aunty misses you, and she also seems to be a bit thinner now."
"Also… Aunty was put under house arrest in the Yang Family for half a year; Uncle was even more harshly punished and had to take thirty lashes."
*Bang*, the glass in Yang Kai's hands was crushed and his expression became cold, a thick aura of malice could be felt radiating from his body, "What happened?"
Dong Qing Han sneered, "Because Aunty missed you, she wanted to sneak out and see how you were doing, but then some of the old ghosts from your Yang Family caught her. You know your Yang Family's rules, no one from the family shall make contact with any direct descendant while they are out for their life experience, and any offender shall be heavily punished. If the uncle had not volunteered to replace her, Aunty would have had to endure those thirty lashes too."
A whole thirty lashes, these were not ordinary lashes! The Yang Family had an artifact which greatly amplified the pain one would feel when they were whipped. When it was used, even if it was a True Element Boundary master taking just a few strikes, they would have to lie in bed for a few days.
Having to endure thirty of these, Yang Kai estimated that one would be confined to bed for several months.
Yang Kai took a deep breath, gradually calming his raging blood; he grabbed Dong Qing Han glass and drained it instantly.
"Those damn old ghosts, sooner or later I'll make them pay for this!" Yang Kai said coldly although those were not his true parents but he will treat them as their parents in this life.
The Yang Family's way of training disciple was very special, although it was able to hone a person, but because it relied on kicking people out of their home, the family bonds between Yang Family members were almost nonexistent. In order to further the Yang Family's agenda, they would easily sacrifice anyone, even their own brothers and sisters.
"You know Yang Family disciples outside life experience normally lasts about ten years. Now less than four years have passed, I don't know whether Aunty will be able to endure waiting a whole six more years to see you again…" Dong Qing Han's voice was full of sadness.
"When you go back this time, pass a message from me to my father and mother, tell them that I am well and that they can rest ȧssured I will return safely. And also very soon"
"I will." Dong Qing Han nodded seriously, "She is my aunt after all!"
Finished with these heavy topics, the conversation gradually lightened, shifting to miscellaneous anecdotes.
"So you also came to High Heaven Pavilion because of the Heaven's Cave Inheritance?" Asked Yang Kai.
"Of course, or else I why would I have come to this remote god forsaken place?" Dong Qing Han said dismissively, then suddenly smirked, "But you really do have a few geniuses here, especially that girl called Su Yan. It's said that she not only has outstanding talent but is also a city destroying beauty, with a pure as ice radiance. It's unfortunate that I've not had the pŀėȧsurė of seeing her face. It is said that she is cultivating anywhere not able to find her"
While he talked, Dong Qing Han looked towards Yang Kai meaningfully, like he was eager to observe his reaction, probing to see if the rumors were true.
"That's your sister-in-law you're talking about!" Yang Kai didn't mince words with him.
Dong Qing Han couldn't help his jaw from dropping as he blankly stared at Yang Kai. Apparently, he had not expected that the rumors were actually true, somehow his little cousin had won the heart of this Sect's heavenly princess.
'Yang Family men, sure enough, none of them should be underestimated, every one of them is definitely a wolf.'
"Fortunately I didn't go along with those Bai Family and Purple Fern Valley idiots, or else I'd have been digging up my own backyard right?" Dong Qing Han smirked. As a young master from the Dong Family, his status was naturally quite high. On top of that, he was born with significant talent; he was young, naturally suave, and had a free and unrestrained personality, everywhere he went, he was never lacking in admirers, fluttering around him like buŧŧerflies. It was unknown just how many beautiful women he had enchanted.
However, when he heard the rumors about Yang Kai having a more than simple Senior Sister-Junior Brother relationship with Su Yan, he had been more prudent with his approach and did not collude with the Bai Family and Purple Fern Valley people to win her favor.
He had just wanted to casually test the waters here, but he did not expect the rumors were actually far less than the truth. Dong Qing Han suddenly felt fortune, it was a good thing he had not rushed in without checking, or else he might really be fighting a life and death battle with his cousin right now!
"You smelly brat, your charm is not small." Dong Qing Han laughed, although High Heaven Pavilion was just a small Sect, he had heard that this girl called Su Yan had a cultivation at the True Element Boundary Fourth or Fifth Stage. Even considering the entire world, such amazing aptitude would let her rank amongst the first-class geniuses, not to mention she had now likely obtained some strong inheritance.
With such talent, if she were to seek refuge in the Eight Great Families, she would be treated like a treasure and vigorously cultivated.
"Since she is my sister-in-law, it seems that my Dong Family has no way to attract her." Dong Qing Han smiled wryly.
Dong Qing Han asked, "You also entered the Heaven's Cave Inheritance right, tell me about it, what exactly was it like inside?"
Yang Kai pondered for a moment, recalling his adventures in the Heaven's Cave Inheritance and then recounting some of them here.
All he discussed was some incidental information, but Dong Qing Han still listened with great relish.
"Haa, a Heaven's Cave Inheritance actually appeared in this place, it is really surprising. Your Three Sects' disciples really stumbled upon a treasure. Why couldn't it have appeared in my Dong Family's site?" Dong Qing Han let out a long sigh, it was a great injustice! The Heaven's Cave Inheritance appearing was carefully concealed for the first two or three months. The Three Sects took great care in maintaining secrecy until finally information gradually spread out. Those great forces immediately sent people to find those who had acquired some inheritance. Unfortunately, until now no one had found the primary inheritor. However, they were able to find many people who had obtained artifacts and martial skills within the Heaven's Cave Inheritance, each one managing to acquire some.
Most of those artifacts were heavily damaged and could no longer be used, but after all, they were ancient treasures used by powerful cultivators from the past, bringing them back and researching them still held great value.
As for the martial skills, the grades were not low; all of them at least Earth Grade, and even some Heaven Grade martial skills had appeared.
It could be said that the appearance of the Heaven's Cave Inheritance had made the High Heaven Pavilion, Blood Battle Gang and Storm Hall all become extremely wealthy in a very short time. With the great forces that came to the Three Sects all competing with each other to acquire things, all of them earned a fortune.
The only regrettable thing was that some disciples had lost out to temptation, choosing to leave their own Sect and seek refuge in these great forces. There were many such cases in the High Heaven Pavilion as well.
The Five Elders had no way to stop them. After all, with the strength of these great forces, if they poached a few disciples what could they do? Wei Xi Tong and Su Xuan Wu could only open one eye and close the other, praying that these great forces disciples and masters would leave as soon as possible, or at least before they picked High Heaven Pavilion clean.
After sometime, while they were immersed in themselves they heard footsteps from outside.
Yang Kai and Dong Qing Han looked at each other. The latter chuckled, "They really came fast, they're probably afraid that I'll be able to poach the martial skill you obtained."
Yang Kai nodded silently his clone had told him before that these great forces were very interested in the Star Mark martial skill he had obtained in the Heaven's Cave Inheritance Star Mark, after all, in one strike it had allowed him to injure a Sixth-Order Monstrous Beast, how could it be anything but extraordinary? The Bai Family and Purple Fern Valley coming here were obviously for this purpose.
"What do you want to do?" Dong Qing Han smiled wryly towards Yang Kai; these idiots had spent their days here constantly try to recruit his sister-in-law and Yang Kai was surely holding a grudge. There was definitely going to be a good show to watch here.
If Yang Kai exposed his true identity, those Bai Family and Purple Fern Valley people certainly would not dare provoke him, it was even likely they would apologize and beg for mercy. But the problem now was that Yang Kai could not expose himself. Dong Qing Han was looking forward to how this cousin of his would resolve this problem, his slightly chubby face filled with a cheerful smile.
Yang Kai looked at him, smiling deviously and said "I am going to do something that you would not be dreamt of."
Shortly after, two cheerful voices filled with laughter came from outside quickly followed by two young men similar in age to Dong Qing Han walked through the door, one wearing a snow-white robe, the other dressed in a luxurious purple uniform.
Both men carried a distinguished bearing, the white-clothed one obviously the Bai Family's young master Bai Yun Feng, and the purple clothed one was Purple Fern Valley's disciple Fan Hong.
Following behind the two people were two High Heaven Pavilion disciples, one of which Yang Kai was somewhat familiar with but could not recall his name, while the other was the Disciplinary Hall disciple Cao Zheng Wen.
These two High Heaven Pavilion disciples had once entered the Heaven's Cave Inheritance, and now they had come here following Bai Yun Feng and Fan, always a few steps behind them; obviously they had been tempted by some benefits and were no longer High Heaven Pavilion's disciples, but disciples of the Bai Family and Purple Fern Valley.
"Elegant as always Brother Dong, coming to this place to have a drink but not inviting myself or Brother Fan, it's almost like you see us as outsiders." Bai Yun Feng laughed, glancing towards Yang Kai briefly before closing the folding fan in his hands, his demeanor unable to be any more haughty.
Fan Hong also laughed, "Brother Dong hasn't concerned himself with that beauty, unlike Brother Bai and me. We have spent more than half a month waiting outside her loft but have never even caught a glimpse of her face. Perhaps Brother Dong who gets to drink and relax here is better off."
A faint sneer emerged from the corner of Yang Kai's mouth. The loft these two villains were squatting like stalkers must be Su Yan's residence.
Bai Yun Feng and Fan Hong both sat while Cao Zheng Wen and the other High Heaven Pavilion disciple respectfully stood behind them.
Bai Yun Feng laughed, he turned to observe Yang Kai, showing a trace of contempt and overlooking him like a superior being, lightly asking, "This must be High Heaven Pavilion's disciple Yang Kai right? How goes Brother Dong's discussion with him?"
The words were spoken casually but carried a note of disdain; although they were speaking in front of Yang Kai, Bai Yun Feng obviously did not put him in his eyes, instead directing his question to Dong Qing Han.
"We've only talked!" Dong Qing Han nodded slightly, "No results up till you two arrived."
Bai Yun Feng and Fan Hong's eyes brightened, "Then it seems that I and Brother Fan still have a chance."
Fan Hong was more straightforward, directly looking at Yang Kai he said, "I heard that in the Heaven's Cave Inheritance you acquired a powerful martial skill, correct?"
Yang kai didn't give a glance.
Fan Hong expression gloomy, pressing forward, "I am a man who prefers to speak plainly, so I will be blunt. I am interested in that martial skill, what kind of conditions do you want in order to sell it to me?"
"What benefits can you offer?" Yang Kai smiled lightly.
Fan Hong chuckled, reaching into his pocket, removing a stack of silver coins, pushing them in front of Yang Kai, "This is 100,000 silver coins! If you are willing to sell me the method of cultivating this martial skill, these silver Coins are yours."
To this offer, Yang Kai only slowly shook his head.
Dong Qing Han laughed happily, but with great meaning.
Wanting to take 100,000 silver coins to cheat a direct descendant of the Yang Family, these two idiots were really too ignorant. Dong Qing Han had wanted to burst out laughing a few times, but somehow managed to endure, his shoulders slightly hunched over, desperately trying to hold back.
'This really is a good show, really too interesting!'
