"As expected..."
Yun Zhonghe was not surprised. Although this plot wasn't shown in the original game, Yun Zhonghe, who was also deeply familiar with web novels, could figure out what schemes were hidden within just by wiggling his toes.
Tao Jiu'er cultivated a Cultivation Technique that could conceal her aura. Combined with the various stealth and assassination profound techniques she learned in the Yun Family, she was actually a very excellent dark guard, who could easily help Yun Zhonghe gather information.
Previously, Yun Zhonghe had arranged for Tao Jiu'er to stake out Lin Feng, and as expected, she brought him significant news.
Oh ho? You're not done, are you? Do I have to cripple you all before you know how to restrain yourselves?
Yun Zhonghe sneered. He had already protected the heroine this far, how could he let others ruin things? He was still counting on the heroine and Huang Aotian to rack up points in the Sect plot, ignite the burning fire of love, and then applaud to their heart's content.
And he, Yun Zhonghe, would also become a meritorious minister and the best brother to Huang Aotian, thus completely breaking free from fate.
"Young Master, Lin Feng wants to deal with Miss Lin on the arena, I'm afraid Mu Guniang won't be able to intervene again."
Tao Jiu'er said.
However, Yun Zhonghe waved his hand: "Don't panic, wouldn't it be fine if this Young Master personally steps up and cripples that guy first!"
It looks like it's finally time for this Young Master to show off his strength.
Chapter Forty-One: Pure Love Cultivation Technique?
"Yun'er, do you need me for something? Just in time, I also happen to want to talk to you about something important."
Yun Zhonghe sought out his Father, Yun Chongtian. It just so happened that he also seemed to have something he wanted to tell Yun Zhonghe, so the father and son had a long overdue heart-to-heart talk.
This was the first time Yun Zhonghe talked with his Father after Awakening his past life memories. Although he had already merged the memories of two lives, when facing his Father, he did not feel that the other party was not his Father.
On the contrary, because he had the mature personality from his previous life, Yun Zhonghe now felt even more strongly how absurd he had been before, yet his Father had never disliked him and had always silently cleaned up those messes for Yun Zhonghe. This made Yun Zhonghe greatly admire the middle-aged man in front of him.
The slight signs of age on his face were likely added due to worrying about Yun Zhonghe.
So, how could he not acknowledge such a Father!
"Father, you've worked hard these years."
Yun Zhonghe sat upright in front of Yun Chongtian and bowed deeply. This deeply moved Yun Chongtian, and tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.
Sob sob sob, my son has truly grown up!
However, Yun Chongtian was the head of the Family after all, how could he truly shed tears in front of Yun Zhonghe? So he cleared his throat, took the opportunity to secretly wipe away his tears, and then said seriously: "As parents, these are things we should do. As long as you can mature and grow up, your Mother and I will be content. When you start your own Family and career in the future, you will understand."
"Father speaks wisely."
"So, you've taken a liking to that girl?"
"Hmm... huh?"
Yun Zhonghe was startled, clearly not following his Father's line of thought.
Yun Chongtian took a deep breath: "I knew this day would come. Your Mother is strict with you, especially when it comes to women. She absolutely forbids you from getting involved because it's related to our Family's inherited Cultivation Technique. Both you and I Cultivate the Golden Sun Art. This Cultivation Technique seems like just an ordinary Profound-tier technique, but in reality, it has Heaven-Defying abilities. It can defy fate, change destiny, and improve one's Foundation. The only issue is that you absolutely cannot casually expend Yuan Yang. That's why you were forbidden from going to brothels and places of entertainment."
Yun Zhonghe originally wanted to talk to his Father about his main business, but Yun Chongtian suddenly started introducing their Family's inherited Cultivation Technique, making him even more confused.
So... is this some kind of Pure Yang Divine Art? Do you have to be a virgin to Cultivate it?
Wrong! If that were the case, where did I come from?
Yun Zhonghe was full of doubt, even starting to suspect that he wasn't his Father's biological son. Was Yun Chongtian seeing that he had matured, and thus planning to reveal the secrets of that year?
What the heck! What kind of cuckold plot is this? Dad, so you were the victim all along!
"You brat, don't let your imagination run wild! You are my biological son! You were born from my seed in your Mother's belly!"
Yun Chongtian saw the improper thoughts in Yun Zhonghe's mind at a glance and immediately corrected him sternly.
That's true, his Father's distinctive golden hair was inherited by him, how could he not be biological? After all, golden hair was truly rare in the cultivation world.
Yun Chongtian continued to explain: "The profound meaning of the Golden Sun Art is that after the Yuan Yang is released during Dual Cultivation, the power of Yuan Yang can stay in the Dao Companion's body for a long time, absorbing the Dao Companion's Yuan Yin power and gradually growing stronger. Not only can it nourish the Dao Companion and improve their Physique, but during the next Dual Cultivation, the power of the previous Yuan Yang can be recovered. This power will enter the Spiritual Root, significantly improving the Spiritual Root's grade. Your Father's supreme-grade gold-attribute Spiritual Root was transformed from this."
The improvement of the Spiritual Root can not only accelerate the speed of cultivation but also increase the spiritual energy circulation rate and spiritual energy output power in actual combat, which is why supreme-grade Spiritual Roots are so rare and valuable.
Yun Zhonghe's eyes widened after hearing this, and he was filled with admiration.
He wasn't surprised by the magical ability of the Golden Sun Art, but rather amazed that his Father could shoot it out and then suck it back in.
Does it have to be this awesome?
At the same time, Yun Zhonghe also admired his Father's open-mindedness. He actually had the nerve to give his sixteen-year-old son sex education. Even modern people wouldn't have such courage, right?
But... why tell Yun Zhonghe all this?
Yun Chongtian said earnestly: "The power of Yuan Yang cultivated by the Golden Sun Art is extraordinary. It is closely related to the Spiritual Root and can be considered a part of the Spiritual Root. If it is squandered wantonly and not recovered for a long time, it will instead lead to the degeneration of the Spiritual Root, or even turn into a mortal body. Therefore, Cultivators of the Golden Sun Art cannot mess around outside. If they cannot recover the Yuan Yang, they are finished. They must dual Cultivate with a Dao Companion with a stable relationship."
Part of the Spiritual Root... and then poured out...
Is the Spiritual Root you're talking about the 'root' I understand?
Yun Zhonghe nodded. He finally understood the supplementary setting of the Golden Sun Art. Isn't this just a pure love Cultivation Technique?
Don't dual Cultivate with others, only love your own Dao Companion. And since you can dual Cultivate frequently, they must be a very loving pair of Dao Companions. After cultivating to great completion, you directly transform into a Pure Love War Deleted!
Woohoo~ Yun Zhonghe loves pure love the most!
Yun Chongtian: "Besides this, there are other benefits after cultivating the Golden Sun Art. For example, that place will become different from ordinary people, the size will be mighty, the golden spear will not fall, full of masculine vigor. Your Mother deeply fell in love with me because of this back then, and then insisted on giving up her fiancé."
Huh?
Huh huh??
What the heck! I thought you were a Pure Love War Deleted, but it turns out you're the real Huang Mao!
This instantly sent Yun Zhonghe's good impression of his Father plummeting to the bottom. He was so moved before, but it turned out his Dad was a Huang Mao.
I'm afraid this isn't inheriting his Dad's fate onto him, Yun Zhonghe, is it? That's why Yun Zhonghe was also a Huang Mao in the original plot.
Noooooo!!!
Fortunately, Father Yun explained clearly that he and Yun Mu were true love, and Yun Mu didn't even know that so-called fiancé, which finally made Yun Zhonghe breathe a slight sigh of relief.
"But, Dad, why are you telling me all this?"
After talking for a long time, Yun Zhonghe didn't understand why his old Father was painstakingly saying all this.
Yun Chongtian cleared his throat: "I see that you are quite interested in the Lin Family's girl. Thinking that you have grown up and are old enough to start a Family, I have to tell you some important things. Because of the Cultivation Technique we practice, you need to consider carefully, but if you truly like her, then go for it boldly. I think the Lin Family's girl is also good."
Yun Zhonghe: ???
What is this, are you trying to set me up with the heroine?
Old man! I advise you not to meddle!
"Father, you've misunderstood. Lin is just my friend."
Yun Zhonghe was serious like never before, and Yun Chongtian was suddenly confused.
Huh? Could I have guessed wrong? That shouldn't be right!
Yun Chongtian suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Could it be that you've taken a liking to that Mu Guniang? Do you want to start by approaching her best friend? But seriously, I can't even see through that Mu Guniang. Her future achievements are immeasurable. You probably can't handle her. It's better not to fantasize about becoming her Dao Companion."
Yun Zhonghe was truly about to spit blood.
Me and Huang Aotian become Dao Companions?
"Huh? Zhonghe, my son, why are you touching your sword?"
Yun Chongtian noticed Yun Zhonghe's hand couldn't help but touch the sword hilt.
Old scoundrel, if you joke again, don't blame me for being irreconcilable with you! Lu Bu.jpg
Chapter Forty-Two: He Can Really Make Me Cry to Death
Yun Chongtian was a bit bewildered by his son.
Although he was also worried that Yun Zhonghe wouldn't be able to control himself well when it came to women, those two were rare beauties in the world after all. Yun Zhonghe saying that he was just friends with them, Yun Chongtian wouldn't believe it even if he was beaten to death.
If you don't lust after their bodies, why are you so enthusiastic?
"He'er, then why exactly are you..."
"It's still coming." Yun Zhonghe expected his Father to ask for the reason.
Yun Zhonghe slowly stood up and said to Yun Chongtian seriously: "Father, the reason our Yun Family can become the largest noble Family in Cangzhou City is not because of scheming, but because generations of our Yun Family ancestors guarded Cangzhou City. It is the reputation accumulated among the people through blood and sweat. It is because of everyone's recognition that our Yun Family holds absolute authority in the land of Cangzhou."
"And Lin Zhongyu's Mother was also a martyr who sacrificed herself while guarding Cangzhou City. Nowadays, people only remember the Yun Family, but if it truly relied only on the Yun Family, how could Cangzhou City have been preserved for countless years? Those who truly contributed were those countless nameless heroes!"
"Even if these people are forgotten by the world, our Yun Family cannot forget! The blood of the Yun Family flows in my body, and I have the responsibility and obligation to take good care of the orphans of these martyrs!"
"So when Father asks why I care for Lin Zhongyu so much, I can only say, it's because I am a Yun Family member, and I cannot bring shame to the Yun Family!"
His words were resounding, and Yun Chongtian was completely stunned after hearing them.
His ideological awareness is too high!
Yun Chongtian stared straight at his only son, the hot tears in his eyes could no longer be suppressed, and his eyes were somewhat red.
For decades, he had worked hard outside, also to be worthy of the people of Cangzhou City and to not tarnish the Yun Family's reputation.
And now his son had finally inherited this will, making his heart surge with emotion, even wishing he could immediately pass on the position of Family head to his good son.
"Good! Good! This is the Bloodline of my Yun Family, this is my son, Yun Chongtian!"
Yun Chongtian's eyes were filled with hot tears, and he couldn't help but nod repeatedly.
Yun Zhonghe secretly peeked at his Father's reaction. Seeing that he was deeply moved by his words, he felt that the time was ripe.
"Father, let's talk about my main business. Can I have another spot from the Yun Family?"
The Yun Family was the largest noble Family in Cangzhou City, so they would be the finale and were scheduled to be tested in the afternoon.
Previously, because the situation was sudden, Yun Zhonghe acted first and reported later. Father Yun was open-minded and therefore didn't argue much with Yun Zhonghe.
But after all, every spot was very important, related to the Family's development, so if he wanted another one, it was better to discuss it with his Father first.
"What do you want another spot for?" Yun Chongtian frowned, asking in confusion.
"Don't I want to keep this for myself?"
"Wait, didn't I already arrange it for you?"
Yun Zhonghe was different from others. Yun Chongtian had already opened a back door for him to directly enter the Xuantian Sect. He was taking a different path.
Yun Zhonghe suggested that this back door could be left for other outstanding people in the clan. Someone like him, with ordinary Aptitude and mediocre cultivation, could just take the regular path.
"I'm the Yun Family Young Master after all, how embarrassing would it be to use the back door? If I enter the Sect later and people point fingers at my back, it would be very uncomfortable. I want to enter the Sect honorably."
Yun Chongtian initially disagreed, but couldn't resist Yun Zhonghe's persistent persuasion and the sophistry from the 21st century, so he had to agree to his request.
But there were three conditions agreed upon: Yun Zhonghe must not do anything that would disgrace the Yun Family's reputation or the Xuantian Sect's face, and if he failed the assessment, he would still use the back door.
Yun Zhonghe quickly nodded in agreement.
Before bidding farewell to his Father, Yun Zhonghe asked for a Magic Treasure from him. Only after receiving it did he leave contentedly.
"Young Master, how did it go? Why did it take so long?" Tao Jiu'er had been waiting outside, but Yun Zhonghe hadn't come out for a long time. She thought the negotiation between Yun Zhonghe and Yun Chongtian hadn't gone very smoothly.
However, Yun Zhonghe gave her a victory sign, indicating that it was as stable as an old dog and everything was under his control. This made Tao Jiu'er breathe a slight sigh of relief.
"Everything is ready, Jiu'er Jie, just watch how I perform this afternoon! Hehehe!"
A sinister smile appeared on Yun Zhonghe's face, and he let out a villainous chuckle.
...
Afternoon.
The suspended selection ceremony continued.
Because of the experience from the morning, the efficiency of the afternoon test was much higher.
After only half an hour, it was the Yun Family's turn.
Yun Chongtian respectfully handed the newly drafted list to Youyue Zhenren. After receiving it, Youyue Zhenren subconsciously began to read it out.
"Yun Family, Yun Zhonghe, step forward for the test... Hmm?"
Following Youyue Zhenren's puzzled sound, everyone suddenly reacted.
Didn't Yun Zhonghe already use the back door?
"No way, what's the situation with the Yun Family Young Master? Not using the back door, but the front door?"
"That's quite normal, how can the back door be as comfortable as the front door!"
