Chapter 699: Attack (1)
In Yun Jing’s study, Yun Luochen talked about the situation of the Yun family on the West Continent and gave a clear summary of the basic situation on the West Continent. Even though Yun Luochen was only fifteen years old, he was quite logical when he talked. He explained a lot of things clearly and easily. Yun Sheng and Yun Jing soon learned about the completely different situation on the West Continent and the East Continent.
“So the West Continent is divided into three halls. It’s indeed very different.” Yun Sheng thought about the branches on the West Continent. The areas in the three halls were also different. It seemed that the situation on the West Continent was much more complicated than that on the East Continent.
“The Yun family in Jushui Town and the Yun family in Chunfeng Town are very similar,” said Yun Jing in a deep voice. Yun Luochen was very surprised. “Very similar? How is that possible?”
Yun Sheng smiled and told Yun Luochen everything that happened in Chunfeng Town in the past. Yun Luochen was extremely shocked after hearing that. He originally thought that the Yun family of the East Continent had been in its current position since the beginning, but it turned out that Yun Feng had been raising it bit by bit!
“The Yun family of Jushui Town only advanced to the third rank because of Yun Feng,” mumbled Yun Luochen. Yun Sheng and Yun Jing certainly understood in their minds that Yun Feng had taken on the burden of the family on the West Continent again. Yun Sheng felt sorry for his sister, but he also knew that it was impossible for her to let go of this burden. Yun Feng had a strong sense of belonging and recognition towards the family.
“I’m ashamed to say that I didn’t help Feng much,” said Yun Sheng, blaming himself. Yun Luochen didn’t say anything. After all, he and Yun Feng were at a similar age. However, Yun Feng had been through a lot. As the son of the Master of the Yun family in Jushui Town, he didn’t take any responsibility for the Yun family. Thinking of this, Yun Luochen couldn’t help but feel discouraged.
“It doesn’t matter. Take your time. One day, you’ll become the pillar of the Yun family.” Yun Sheng caressed Yun Luochen’s head with his hand. Yun Luochen nodded and the gloominess in his heart was slightly swept away. Right, he couldn’t do anything right now. He could only help the Yun family by constantly improving himself! He couldn’t let Yun Feng take everything by herself. His surname was also Yun!
“I’m very glad that you came to the East Continent this time. From what you said, Brother Tianfan should know the existence of the Yun family on the East Continent,” said Yun Jing. Yun Luochen nodded. “If it weren’t for Yun Feng, my father wouldn’t have said anything. It was then that I realized how impressive the Yun family was!”
There was a smile on Yun Jing’s usually serious face and his fierce eyes were much gentler. “If there’s a chance, you should meet Brother Tianfan. Luo Chen, I’m older than your father. Just call me uncle.”
What Yun Jing said almost made Yun Luochen choke. Looking at Yun Jing who seemed around thirty years old, Yun Luochen couldn’t call him uncle no matter what. He looked at Yun Sheng awkwardly and Yun Sheng chuckled. “You’re right to call him uncle. For some reason, my father looks younger than he should be.”
Yun Luochen swallowed and finally called his uncle timidly. Yun Jing nodded. Yun Jing and Yun Tianfan were the same. Both of them looked serious and didn’t seem to have many smiles. Yun Luochen secretly made comparisons in his mind. His father and uncle’s personality and expression were truly the same. Nobody would doubt that they were family.
After talking about the Yun family of the West Continent, Yun Jing had some things to deal with. When Yun Sheng came out with Yun Luochen, Yun Luochen was suddenly relieved. His relaxed look amused Yun Sheng. He touched Yun Luochen’s head again. “Why? Are you so nervous?”
Yun Luochen smiled. “Brother, to be honest, Uncle and my father are really like… Talking to uncle is just like talking to my father. I was very nervous.”
Yun Sheng burst into laughter. “We’re indeed family. Do you have any siblings, Luochen?”
“I’m the only child my father has. However, there are still a few children of my uncle and third uncle at home. I really envy my brother for having such an outstanding sister.”
Yun Sheng smiled and suddenly looked a bit lonely. “Yes, there should’ve been one more. It would’ve been perfect if there was one more…”
“Brother? What did you say?”
Yun Sheng’s expression changed and there was more or less some pain in his eyes. Even though such a long time had passed, it still hurt when he thought about it. “I originally had a brother.”
“Oh? Really? Then… where’s he? Why haven’t I seen him?”
Yun Sheng was silent for a while and then heaved a sigh. “He’s… dead.”
Yun Luochen was shocked. Yun Sheng chuckled. “It’s all in the past. Let’s not talk about it. Come, let’s go see your sister-in-law.” Yun Sheng was delighted when he talked about Mu Xiaojin. The sad atmosphere just then was gone. Yun Luochen nodded and followed Yun Sheng, but he was a bit upset.
Even though the Yun family of the West Continent had been living a tough life, the family was intact. His mother had only passed away because of illness. The Yun family of the East Continent, on the other hand, was persecuted and destroyed. They carried more burdens than the Yun family of the West Continent.
No wonder she valued kinship so much. No wonder she protected her loved ones so much… Yun Luochen thought of Yun Feng’s warm expression when she talked about the Yun family and her loved ones. Was it because she lost some of them that she knew to cherish the living ones more?
Mu Xiaojin was about to give birth in half a month. During this half month, she had been most delighted. Mu Xiaojin seemed to be smiling with Yun Feng by her side, which made Yun Sheng feel gratified and jealous at the same time. After all, his sister made his wife so happy, but he didn’t have such an ability. Yun Sheng was quite helpless.
“Brother Yun, Xiao Feng has already thought of the name of her child.” On this day, the few of them gathered around Mu Xiaojin. The closer the day of childbirth was, the more nervous they were. Yun Feng almost stayed close to her, fearing that the child would come to this world early and catch them off guard.
Yun Sheng sat on one side of the bed and held Mu Xiaojin’s body carefully in his arms as a cushion. Mu Xiaojin smiled at Yun Sheng. Yun Sheng scratched Mu Xiaojin’s nose affectionately. “I told you to call me by my name or husband.”
Mu Xiaojin stuck out her tongue. She liked to call him Brother Yun, which might be a bad habit she couldn’t change.
“Feng, what’s the name you have thought of?” Yun Sheng looked at Yun Feng. Yun Feng chuckled. She had been racking her brains for this name these few days, but she finally thought of one that wasn’t bad. “Yun Qingchen.”
