Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Interact harmoniously?

Everyone’s eyes went towards the three bloodied bodies, and they shuddered. Three lives had been lost here.

Interact harmoniously? How magnanimous you are!

However, Dong Tianleng, Chun Wanfeng, Xia Bingchuan and even Shui Yuehan and Fu Guansan knew that things had rapidly gotten out of hand.

It would be a difficult mess to clean up.

Dong Tianleng and his cohorts were slightly more na?ve - so what if things got out of hand, my family will clean up the mess for me!

It was a different case for Shui Yuehan and Fu Guansan, their minds were muddled goo.

How had things gotten this way?

We were just beginning to approach Yun Zuiyue… We had more tactics up our sleeves, more detailed plans…We had not yet even begun!

What should we do now that this has happened?

They stared at this Young Master Yun in bewilderment for a moment. Of course, they did not miss his low cultivation base.

Was he not even at the third peak? Perhaps barely at the third peak? He was just an ant!

"I really don’t understand." Yun Yang said as if agonized, "Everyone here carries a certain status and reputation… I was still planning to watch the fun but you fellows just murdered a few men within the blink of an eye… How could you? How could you do this?"

Xia Bingchuan’s ear was pierced, blood dripping profusely; he was agitated and said in an ill-tempered manner, "What are you trying to say? Can you be a bit more straightforward?"

Yun Yang held Dong Tianleng back from erupting again and said sincerely, "Actually I have no place to speak in this but now that things have gotten to this stage, we need to resolve it. This young brother is thick skinned enough to become the peacemaker. Of course, if young masters, Sir Shui and Keeper Fu think that I’m not qualified, I shall just take a step back."

All of them did not wish for this to drag on.

Shui Yuehan and Fu Guansan had other important responsibilities with them, how could they allow the matter to worsen? Chun Wanfeng, Xia Bingchuan and the rest felt that they had the advantage since the opposite party had three people dead while their side only suffered minor injuries. Naturally, they wanted to end things on that note.

Although everyone wore disgusted looks, clearly not considering Yun Yang to be substantial enough to listen to him speak, they did not comment, and their silence acknowledged their consent to have Yun Yang as a peacemaker.

"This is very normal." Peacemaker Young Master Yun Yang said in earnest, "It’s all just a dispute over emotions. I have to chide Sir Shui and Keeper Fu though… Lady Yun is a woman. She doesn’t like to drink but the two of you just had to keep on insisting."

"Lady Yun is simply drinking with the brother she has just acknowledged, with family. What jealousy did you fellows harbor?"

Yun Yang shook his head and sighed, "Young Master Dong, your temper is really volatile, springing up like that. How could you be so rash? Your actions will trouble your sister too, how is she going to make a living in Tiantang City after this? You can’t be here every day. I have to say, you didn’t think this through enough."

Dong Tianleng was ashamed. "Sister Yue, it’s my fault. I’ve caused you trouble."

Yun Zuiyue forced a smile and said, "Younger brother’s trouble will never be trouble to this sister."

Dong Tianleng felt even more remorseful, heaving a long sigh.

Chun Wanfeng and Xia Bingchuan both looked at Dong Tianleng in shock. What’s wrong with this imbecile today? He’s admitting to his mistake after being chided.

F*ck me, is this still Dong Tianleng?

"Sir Shui and Keeper Fu came to force his newly sworn sister to drink…" Yun Yang said earnestly, putting himself in the other’s shoes, "Honestly, it’d be hard for me to swallow too if it were me. This is too humiliating to set aside."

"So some harsh words were thrown and then three lives were lost." Yun Yang looked as if he was at a loss for words. "Honestly, I didn’t even see how these three had died."

Everyone including Shui Yuehan with the highest cultivation base nodded. Yeah, how did these three people die? I didn’t even see how it happened. Was it that chaotic just now?

"However, we must resolve this matter before word gets out. With the high standing of everyone present, waiting for the official sentence would be somewhat… embarrassing."

Yun Yang’s words struck a chord within everyone.

The ruling of the officials would mean that everyone would be taken away… How could this work?

"It will severely affect Cirrus House’s reputation as well. Once the officials butt in, even if the house doesn’t close down, it’s certain to put a halt to business for a few months with the loss of these three lives," Yun Yang sighed.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Dong Tianleng nodded. I can’t cause my newly acquired sister to lose her business and not make money. She has just taken me in as her younger brother and I’ve already caused her years of effort; her money-making business will go down the drain!

Who else would dare to forge a relationship with Dong Tianleng? I’m f*cking called Dong Tianleng, I’m not called the Star of Misfortune…

Both Shui Yuehan and Fu Guansan nodded. We still have missions in Cirrus House. If the business closes, how are we supposed to complete them?

"My suggestion is… to let it go, just as it is." Yun Yang said in a magnanimous manner.

Shui Yuehan and Fu Guansan both looked like they had swallowed turds.

We have three of my people dead here, and he’s suggesting to let it go just like this?

"Absolutely not!" Xia Bingchuan gritted his teeth, tension on his neck. "Someone pierced through my ear!"

Dong Tianleng said angrily, "It’s your ear that’s gotten pierced, not under your stomach. What are you making a fuss about?"

Xia Bingchuan raged. "Dong Tianleng, do you still have your conscience? This was all for helping you!"

"Hey, hey, both of you. Listen to me." Yun Yang continued to mediate, "What I meant was that you shouldn’t be going about it this way, listen to me first, alright?"

"The three people who died… This incident started from Young Master Dong Tianleng after all. I don’t know how to say this too but their men have died. It’s certain that they suffered a loss here. It’s plausible for Young Master Dong to assume magnanimity, what do you think, Young Master Dong?"

Of course, Dong Tianleng agreed wholeheartedly to what Yun Yang had said. He believed Yun Yang would never be on the other’s side as well. He nodded without hesitation and said, "Magnanimity, no problem at all!"

His words exasperated Shui Yuehan and Fu Guansan.

You killed our men and you still want to be magnanimous…

"Let’s go this way!" Yun Yang continued, "Young Master Dong, reimburse the three dead men… a hundred thousand silver taels for everyone, pass the financial aid to their families. How about that?"

Dong Tianleng rolled his eyes and hummed.

Yun Yang turned and asked Shui Yuehan, "Sir Shui, is this acceptable?"

Shui Yuehan gritted his teeth. After some time, he finally said, "As long as Young Master Dong can afford it, I have nothing to say!"

"Then what about Keeper Fu?" Yun Yang turned to asked Fu Guansan.

Fu Guansan was puffing in anger but he dared not mess up his other responsibility. "I have no comment."

"Great, this is settled then…" Yun Yang continued, "As for Young Master Xia’s injury, Young Master Dong will compensate a hundred thousand taels and pay for the healing of it. Is that alright?"

Xia Bingchuan snorted and said, "Forget about me!"

Yun Yang coughed and said, "Right, you should discuss among yourselves as brothers. Look, is this not a happy ending?"

"Happy ending…" Shui Yuehan and Fu Guansan mumbled the words, both thinking, "You dare call this a happy ending?"

We’ve been angered and had three of our men killed… You and us, happy ending?

This is simply unbelievable!

"Quickly, let us get these cleaned up!" Yun Yang began to issue orders. "We want to drink later… Let’s not hold up the business! Come, come, let us all smile. Let’s bury the hatchet, this shall be just another story in Tiantang City…"

It was impossible for them to bury the hatchet and smile at each other.

Shui Yuehan and Fu Guansan felt humiliated, leaving with ill feelings after taking the taels.

Dong Tianleng was also abashed, wanting to leave after causing such a huge catastrophe to his new sister.

Yun Zuiyue persuaded him to stay. "No such thing, younger brother!"

Dong Tianleng insisted on leaving a hundred thousand taels of banknotes to compensate for Cirrus House’s loss while Yun Zuiyue insisted on not accepting it. Both of them pushed the buck around and finally, Yun Zuiyue’s eyes grew red. "Are you looking down on this sister? You stood up for me and almost got yourself killed. You still want this sister to take your silver taels? Forget it, I will keep them if you really want to give them. But don’t ever call me sister from now on…"

Although Dong Tianleng’s temper was bad, he yielded to the guilt and not by force.

He quickly kept the banknotes. "Sister Yue, I am in the wrong…"

"Hush!"

Yun Zuiyue then said, "Since you know you’re wrong, don’t be like this anymore. This sister will set a feast to thank younger brother and two young masters."

Yun Yang said, "I’ll leave if there’s nothing else."

Yun Zuiyue replied, "It’s all thanks to Young Master Yun today, how can Young Master Yun leave? Why not keep me company?"

Yun Yang laughed. "I have things to attend to at home. Besides, Sister Yue didn’t say thank you to me earlier."

"Of course I’d have to thank you." Yun Zuiyue smiled.

"If you really want to thank me, I’d rather be given some silver taels. I have not really been doing well at home recently…" Yun Yang scratched his head and winked surreptitiously.

Yun Zuiyue understood the meaning of that wink. "Of course."

Yun Zuiyue persuaded him to stay when Yun Yang insisted on leaving but did not manage to hold on to him. She then ran to him holding a banknote worth fifty thousand taels and said, "Young Master Yun, it’s all thanks to you today. This is a token of my gratitude, please accept it."

Yun Yang protested loudly but Yun Zuiyue was close to tears the more she spoke. In the end, Yun Yang left with fifty thousand taels.

This happened under the watchful eyes of everyone, causing envy everywhere!

Young Master Yun had not paid a penny for a visit to Cirrus House and he actually earned fifty thousand silver taels.

However, in the eyes of the others - Yun Yang had done so much but did not stay for the meal, leaving with a considerable sum of money.

On the other hand, Dong Tianleng and gang stayed on at Cirrus House to be served by Yun Zuiyue.

The difference of closeness was apparent yet not distinct, it was hard to pinpoint exactly how the relationship worked. Moreover, this entire incident did not seem to be related to Yun Yang at all. He was just a peacemaker. If Yun Yang was really involved then why would he step up to mediate at the most critical moment?

Looking at Yun Yang’s retreating back, a lot of people pondered about it.

However, Dong Tianleng and the two young masters of Spring and Summer were concerned about other matters.

Cirrus House would not belong to the four noble families of Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Spring, would it? This should be investigated…

They would not believe that both parties would become siblings just after meeting each other!
