Yun Yang stared back at the irate old man, completely baffled.

Qiu Jianhan snorted loudly, "What are you looking at? Didn't you know that this old man was in the midst of meeting so many brothers? Do you understand the joy of us being together? You, foolish child, just pulled me out with a swoosh, and I couldn't even react to it - of course, I didn't get to bid farewell! Won't my brothers be critical of me then?"

Yun Yang was bewildered.

The old man was his old, shameless self again - the head of the capital's three rogues indeed. What a thug!

'You've been unconscious for months, and it was only with Emmie's help now that I got to save you. Now that you've woken up and have been revived, you're turning around and putting the blame on me? Blaming me for not giving you advance notice? Shouldn't you be grateful and thank me for the saving grace?'

'Is this something that advance notice can be given for?'

'Besides, how am I supposed to let you know earlier?'

'This is really my first time seeing someone display their boorish behavior the moment he wakes up from a coma that lasted for months.'

Just as a certain someone was about to reply with a long face, the old mistress' voice cut inappropriately behind them. "What is going on now? Was he wrong to save you? Wanted to bid farewell? Actually enjoyed being with so many brothers? How ridiculous - how absurd! Do you mean to say that you don't enjoy being with me?"

"If so, then go back and find those brothers of yours! Why did you even wake up in the first place?"

The old mistress was utterly out of sorts.

Old Marshal Qiu shuddered upon listening to her. He suddenly grasped Yun Yang's hand, shook it continuously and said with hot tears brimming in his eyes, "I still want to thank you! While I have many brothers there, I still miss my home the most, especially with her at home. Thank you so much, Lord Supreme Cloud!"

Yun Yang was still speechless as he then heard the old bastard say tearfully, "I'm utterly grateful for your saving grace!"

With a swift turn of his head, he then spoke in sorrowful tones, "Dear… You have suffered much during this time… How long have I been in a coma?"

The corners of Yun Yang's mouth twitched. He deeply felt that the word 'shame' was growing further and further from the old man. There was no better example than this to showcase how corrupt one's values could become, how unprincipled, and how deceitful one could be!

Yet, Yun Yang heard the old mistress behind him reply in comforting tones, "That's more like it."

Old Mistress Qiu approached them with emotional tears brimming her eyes; she tried not to let them fall as she spoke in a quivering voice, "Thank you, Lord Supreme Cloud. We shall never forget Lord Supreme Cloud's saving grace!"

"There's no need to be so polite. Now that the old marshal has awakened, it's all fine. I shall bid my leave," Yun Yang said, turning around to make an exit.

"Halt!"

Qiu Jianhan pushed himself up and looked at him with glinting eyes. After a moment, his voice wavered as he asked, "How… How is the war at the Fortress of Resilience?"

The old man's gaze was filled with worry.

"We won. Han Sanhe has died!"

Yun Yang left after leaving his words behind, vanishing swiftly after turning into a cloud of fog. Truth be told, it was more like he had fled in a state of panic. He really could not bear to stay any longer.

What was left behind was Qiu Jianhan's laughter of delightful surprise and the low sobs that the old mistress had been suppressing?

…

Shangguan Family of Generals.

When Yun Yang went to Shangguan Lingxiu in the middle of the night, it was not unexpected that the latter was largely surprised.

What was he trying to do, sneaking into a lady's room in the middle of the night? Shangguan Lingxiu was so flustered that her neck was flushed a deep crimson.

"Y - you - you… You - Why are you here?"

'Did this scoundrel find out about… the promise Lingxi and I made… and can't… can't wait any longer?'

'This is - this is embarrassing!'

'Still, if… if he insists… am I going to just follow through…'

'Oh my God, how can I bear such shameless thoughts? What if he gets angry?'

It was apparent that Yun Yang was not aware of the lady's girlish thoughts as he stared oddly at Shangguan Lingxiu and asked, "Why is your face so red? I'm here to check on Old Mistress Shangguan. Didn't I promise you I would treat her? After our parting the last time, my cultivation base has advanced slightly, and I should be of help… You know my identity too. How can I come in broad daylight?"

Shangguan Lingxiu's thumping heart recovered immediately. The shyness was all gone. What replaced it was the impulse to kick the insufferable man out. She replied through gritted teeth, "Lord Supreme Cloud is benevolent indeed… Please follow me."

'This man is just like what Sister Lingxi had said - an absolute dummy.'

'Why am I not as skilled as Sister Lingxi? Then I could beat him up good!'

'Forget it, it's better not to have that defensive force. It would mean that we won't be able to get close to each other. That would be a nightmare!'

"Alright! Why are you suddenly so angry? Who has offended you?"

'You did, you dummy!'

"I'm not angry - not angry at all," Shangguan Lingxiu spat the words through gritted teeth with a forced smile.

'I'm so furious!'

"As long as you aren't angry, there's no need to lead me there. Point me towards a direction and I can get there on my own. It's inconvenient if you take me there - it's so late now…"

"There! Where everything is lit up!"

Shangguan Lingxiu pointed with a finger and when Yun Yang turned to look, she slammed the door close harshly. If Yun Yang were to be a little closer, his tall nose could possibly have been smashed flat. Lord Supreme Cloud, who was terribly narcissistic, would never be able to accept it if it were to happen!

Lord Supreme Cloud was taken aback, grumbling inwardly, 'What's going on? She was so gentle in the Residence of Yun earlier! I was still delighted that she's so sweet and soft under the handsome appearance, unlike someone else… Why is her temper so bad the moment she gets home?'

'I can't understand. Maybe… I don't understand women?'

'An amateur like me really doesn't understand women!'

Yun Yang shook his head and sighed, "Women… oh, women… what strange creatures…"

With a swoosh, he disappeared.

…

Treating Old Mistress Shangguan was equally smooth, much smoother than when he woke Old Marshal Qiu up.

The old mistress was already in a drowsy state due to her lackluster condition when Yun Yang went over. He did not have to do much to make the old mistress fall into a deep slumber. What took place afterward was easily achieved.

As Yun Yang's Endless Divine Art was cultivated in addition to Emmie's air of vitality, the energy had only circulated the old mistress' meridians once before all blockages were cleared. What was trickier during the process was storing part of the air of vitality within Old Mistress Shangguan. After all, if the efficacy were to be seen directly, the old mistress' white hair might promptly turn black. Not only would it be a supernatural incident, it would attract too much attention. There would be an adverse outcome instead if it pulled greedy eyes.

Keeping the vital energy within Old Mistress Shangguan and letting it work slowly would allow the remedial process to treat the roots over a longer period of time, befitting a word everyone could accept - miracle! Being on the last legs of one's life without dying when one should have was a miracle, but it was also an individual's luck. On the contrary, seeing silver to raven in a night and having one's vitality rocket swiftly when one was past their prime was not an individual's fortune - many would cast greedy eyes then!

Having completed the task, Yun Yang slipped into Shangguan Lingxiu's room again.

Shangguan Lingxiu was already prepared to sleep after muttering a few curses, yet right as she took off her clothes and slipped into her bed, someone had entered her room.

She was dumbfounded.

You… Are you done yet?
