Against the Gods Chapter 525 – Confession

Chapter 525 Confession

Yurou, Brother-in-law, youve both recovered... truly, fully recovered? He was the stately Mu Familys future Patriarch, yet currently, he was excitedly dancing in joy like a child.

In regards to Mu Yubais temperament, Yun Che had roughly understood it today. He was someone who wore his emotions on his face, upright and outspoken, and was not one to suppress his feelings. At this moment, he was excited and pleasantly surprised, and this completely showed on his face.

Weve already fully recovered ten days ago. During those days, weve always worn the Profound Sealing Buckle to conceal our profound aura. Mu Yurou said with a light laugh. Seeing the man who she had accompanied throughout her entire life stand up from the wheelchair to once more display the great might he possessed back then, after more than twenty years, she couldnt help but want to cry tears of joy. No one else was more clear about these twenty-two years this prideful man spent whilst handicapped, and how much he suffered every day.

Whether it is our body or profound strength, they have all fully recovered, and this is not something short-lived. Yun Qinghong lifted his hand and said with a smile: All this, is because of Cheer. He merely used not even two months of time. I, Yun Qinghong have seen and experienced quite a lot of things, but if this did not happen on my person, I still would never dare believe it. All of the genius doctors in the Illusory Demon Realm added up together could barely rival one finger on Cheers hand. Im afraid that not even the Great Shifting Golden Deity of legends could even compare, hoho.

This evaluation was no doubt the highest praise beyond limits, and this praise had even come from Yun Qinghong himself. However, Mu Yubai did not feel that it was exaggerated in the least. He was more clear than anyone else about how crippled Yun Qinghong and Mu Yurou were originally. Since twenty years ago, in the entire Illusory Demon Realm, not one person believed that they were able to recover... they werent even able to recover to an ordinary persons state of health.

Now that this appeared before his eyes, it was no less than a miracle!

And, this merely took a short time of not even two months!

Mu Yubai grabbed Yun Ches shoulders, widened his eyes, and said with great emotion: Good kid... I, Mu Yubai has lived for more than one hundred eighty years, and the only person I have ever truly admired is my brother-in-law, Yun Qinghong. But now, I admire you ten times more than that! So much that Id prostrate myself in admiration. You saving my brother-in-law means that you have saved the entire Yun Family. You saving my little sister Yurou, also means that you are our Mu Familys benefactor. Mn...

Mu Yubais eyes suddenly lit up, as the hands he used to grab at Yun Che tightened a bit more... This was a Monarchs strength, and it immediately made Yun Che ache so hard that he gritted his teeth: Boy... Oh, no, little brother Yun. How about we become sworn brothers? Ill be your big brother in the future, and youll be my little brother. Your affairs would also become my affairs! If anyone dares to bully you, Ill smash their brains apart!

If this situation of the Mu Familys Young Patriarch requesting to become sworn brothers were to spread out, the entire city would perhaps drop their jaws in shock. If this was in normal circumstances, Yun Che would definitely gladly agree... With such a great supporter, Yun Che could most probably walk sideways against the law if he wanted. But once Mu Yubais words came out, it actually scared Yun Che to the point where his entire body broke out in cold sweat. He incessantly waved panickedly: S-S-S-Senior Mu, this cannot be done. My humble self is merely a junior, how could I dare become sworn brothers with Senior Mu?

The difference in seniority wasnt really much of a huge issue, the main point was that this Mu Yubai was his biological uncle! If he became sworn brothers just like that, once he revealed himself, Mu Yubai might even go look for a block of tofu to suicide himself into!

Tch! Mu Yubai swung an arm: What junior, senior, thats all rubbish. Even though you are a bit young and your profound strength is a bit low, just with your medical skills and the courage you displayed today would even make me willingly call you big brother! Mn... If you dont want to be my little brother, then me calling you big brother in the future is fine too! Thats no problem at all!

These few words that Mu Yubai had said truly were not forced out at all. Yun Qinghong and Mu Yurou were crippled to such a state, yet they were able to fully recover in two months. In Mu Yubais eyes, Yun Che could even be called god! If he could make this person into one of his own, no matter how great of a price he had to pay, it would still not be a loss. As a profound practitioner, there was no one who did not fall ill, encounter calamity, never get injured, and never be in danger. With Yun Che by his side, that would simply be countless numbers of lives under his belt. Even if one were to want to die, it would be hard. Even if one were to be crippled into a dog, they would still fully recover... If Mu Yubai had to pick between ten Monarchs and one Yun Che, Mu Yubai would definitely pick Yun Che without the slightest hesitation.

Yun Che grimaced: Senior Mu, this junior is just.... just...

Mu Yubais face immediately fell, as he said unhappily: What? Am I, Mu Yubai, beneath your notice? Do you think that I am not worthy enough to become your sworn brother?

Of course not. Yun Che waved: This junior is naturally beside himself him delight knowing that Mu Yubai wants to become sworn brothers with this junior. But the problem is that this junior has already become sworn brothers with Yun Xiao. Your sister and brother-in-law are also juniors godfather and godmother. If this junior becomes sworn brothers with you, then the seniority here would be completely messed up. This is not fair to junior, nor is it fair to my godparents.

So what? This and that are all not important. Its not as though I dont know you have become sworn brothers with that kiddo Yun Xiao. Mu Yubai blurted without care as he waved his hand. His heart was just this wide.

Alright, Big Brother, dont make things difficult for Cheer anymore. Mu Yurou said in amusement: Even if you dont care about seniority matters and want to become sworn brothers with Cheer no matter what, youll have to at least show your sincerity. Who would be as aggressive as you? Itll be a wonder if you didnt scare Cheer.

Mu Yubai widened his eyes, then slapped his head, and said in annoyance: Youre right! Look at this brain of mine, randomly telling someone to become my sworn brother. I didnt mean for it to come out that way either... hey! Yun Che boyo... oh, no, little brother Yun, I was rude earlier. Come to my Mu Family for a visit someday. Ill definitely let you see my sincerity. I, Mu Yubai, promise you that I am absolutely worthy of becoming your sworn brother!

Alright, alright, lets talk about this when that time comes. Big Brother, go back home and tell Father about what happened today, let him prepare for it as well. Something huge is bound to happen during the Demon Empress Grand Ceremony. After two days, Ill go back with Qinghong for a visit too. Mu Yurou stated.

Mn, if the old man knew that you and brother-in-law have recovered completely, Id reckon hell be so happy that he wouldnt be able to sleep for three days... Oh! When you come back with brother-in-law, make sure to bring this kid! Mu Yubai said with great emphasis.

Xiaoer, go send your uncle off with your mother, said Yun Qinghong.

Ah? Yes, Father. Yun Xiao was still a bit stunned, it was evident that he had not completely taken in and digested everything that had happened today.

Mu Yubai glanced at Yun Qinghong. He knew why Yun Qinghong was letting Mu Yurou and Yun Xiao send him off; he probably had things he wanted to say to Yun Che alone, so he didnt decline. With a wave of his hand, he left taking large strides.

Father, do you have something you want to tell me? Once they left, only Yun Qinghong and Yun Che remained within the courtyard.

Mn. Yun Qinghong nodded, then smiled and said: Cheer, this is all thanks to you. If not for you, Yun Familys ten thousand years of loyalty would be destroyed in one day. Even so much that we would be beyond redemption.

Yun Che grinned: Heh heh, Fathers too polite. Im still considered to be half a member of the Yun Family. Besides, the one who suppressed everyone is you, Father. And with Fathers wisdom and foresight, even if I wasnt here, you shouldve seen through everything a long time ago, right?

Yun Qinghong shook his head, and said: In these past years, due to my crippling, I knew that I did not have the power to support the Yun Family, so I had always closed my eyes and ears. Even though I was aware of Duke Huais disloyalty a long time ago and guessed that he might perhaps already be stretching out his hands into the Yun Family, I didnt know where he had stretched in from. Furthermore, if not for the fact that you helped recover our health and profound strength for us, even if I knew everything, I wouldnt have the power to turn it around.

Yun Che thought for a while, then said: Father, I have a speculation... I believe that among the elders of your generation, some have not left because of your crippling. All these years that you have been alone, that was something you did deliberately, right?

Yun Qinghong laughed, and looked at him with praising eyes: Yes, youre right. Even though I really dont want the Patriarch position of our Patriarchal line given to others, at that time, I was completely crippled, and Xiaoer was not my biological child. Id rather given the head position to Yun Waitian than be a burden on the Yun Family. After all, even though the honor of our Patriarch bloodline is important, how could it possibly compare with our Yun Clans future. Cheer, if not for you helping me recover, I originally wouldve already prepared myself to watch Yun Waitian succeed my position as Patriarch. But now that I have recovered, and have enough strength to bear the heavy responsibility of the clan, this position of Patriarch absolutely cannot be given to others. Cheer, you have truly altered the fate of our entire Yun Family. This kind of great favor is enough to let our Yun Family remember it for over thousands of generations.

The reason why I wanted to be alone with you is to confess something to you. Yun Qinghong sucked in a slight breath of air, and said somewhat sadly: I deliberately allowed the Venerable Stone Dragon to kill Yun Xingyue.

I know. Against Yun Qinghongs expectations, Yun Che actually gave a direct reply which held no hesitation. He continued: With Fathers strength, as well as the close distance back then, protecting Yun Xingyue against the Venerable Stone Dragons attack could be said to be as easy as turning ones hand over.

...Then, do you think that I am too ruthless?

No! Yun Che shook his head: The complete opposite. I fully approve of Fathers decision. Since Yun Xinyue has already said Helian and Duke Huai, there is no need to continue asking any further. Even though he had been poisoned and was forced, he still went as far as secretly backstabbing a fellow clansman for the promise of the Patriarch position and the title of a king. Whats even more despicable is the fact that he didnt hesitate to harm the entire clan! Dying ten thousand times for such a serious crime would not be excessive at all! And if he were to be executed by the clan, even though Yun Waitian wont say anything, he would still bear resentment over this. Him being timely silenced by Duke Hui Ye actually couldnt be even better. On one hand, he would feel hatred toward Duke Huais clan for killing his son, on the other, he would be moved to tears by Fathers comfort and forgiveness. Furthermore, the guilt hell feel then would thereby make him unwaveringly loyal to Father and the Yun Family. After all, Yun Waitian is Yun Familys Great Elder; excluding Father, he is one of the major pillars of Yun Family that must not be lost. This outcome is the most perfect one.

Yun Qinghong looked deeply at Yun Che, then laughed heartily: Hahahaha... Cheer, I am still underestimating you. It is hard for me to believe that you are only twenty-two this year. With your talent and temperament, I would not doubt it even if you say that you have a thousand years of experience.

Yun Che also laughed along, and lightly sighed in his heart... What I have encountered, the life and death situations, as well as the dangers Ive experienced, even if someone else were to pile up their thousand years of life experiences, they probably still cant match mine...
