Chapter 114: He's too strong

Imperial Palace, Imperial Garden.

"Father Emperor, Empress Dowager, please have tea."

"Yun Xiyue and Yang Jun knelt on the ground, both holding tea cups in their hands, Yun Xiyue first smiled and handed the wine to the Emperor and Empress."

"Good."

"Yun Fengyun was very satisfied, took the tea cup, and drank it all in one gulp."

"Father Emperor, Empress Dowager, please."

Yang Jun felt somewhat uncomfortable, after all he knew that this dog emperor had never shown him any good face.

That's why, at this moment, Yang Jun's speech was somewhat awkward.

The Empress, on the other hand, had a gentle and virtuous demeanor, gazing intently and nodding lightly.

"Come, Empress Dowager has something for you."

The Empress said to Yang Jun, first giving him a silk pouch, which is the custom for newlyweds.

Yang Jun had nothing else to say, appearing very obedient as he followed behind the Empress and left.

Yun Fengyun watched Yang Jun leave, a hint of solemnity in the corner of his eyes.

But at this moment he remained silent until Yang Jun completely left his sight.

"Yang Jun's strength is too strong; this skill of his is somewhat beyond my expectation!"

"Yun Fengyun spoke, shaking his head slightly, and let out another sigh."

"Upon hearing her father the Emperor's words, Yun Xiyue was first stunned, then immediately gave a light smile."

"Father Emperor, isn't that good?"

"The stronger Yang Jun is, the better he can protect our daughter!"

"Yun Xiyue is certainly not a fool; she also understands what this moment signifies."

"So it is only now that she would speak, saying such a sentence."

"Father Emperor is worried that he will bully you."

"Yun Fengyun looked at his beloved daughter and gave a faint smile."

"If one day he turns against the Father Emperor, whose side will you be on?"

"Yun Fengyun asked Yun Xiyue, seemingly joking."

"But how could Yun Xiyue at this moment fail to hear the meaning behind her father the Emperor's words?"

"Father Emperor, Yang Jun certainly won't oppose you."

"Now he is your son-in-law; besides, he is loyal to the Father Emperor and to the Great Xia—if you keep saying this, our daughter will doubt the magnanimity of our wise Majesty."

"Yun Xiyue said this with a smile, intending to dissuade."

"But at this moment, deep down she still felt a sense of unease about this."

"At this very moment, a flicker of worry crossed her eyes."

"All along, Yun Fengyun's attitude has been intolerant of Yang Jun."

"This also served as a warning to Yun Xiyue; her father the Emperor's words now truly carry hidden meaning."

"Yun Xiyue dared not think further."

"If such a thing really happens, what should be done?"

"The Father Emperor does not tolerate Yang Jun, and Yang Jun is certainly not someone who would surrender willingly or welcome death."

"Then if such a thing occurs, what should I do?"

"Alright, Father Emperor was just mentioning it casually."

"Yun Fengyun stopped asking further, for he did not want his daughter to be angry."

"Now the situation is exactly like this."

"These matters are not important."

"Although Yun Fengyun spoke this way, the solemnity in his eyes grew even stronger."

"At this time, she felt a strong unease in her heart."

"Such a matter served as a reminder to him."

"Yun Xiyue does not like martial training, yet her own talent is extremely high."

"Such conduct only made Yun Fengyun even more delighted."

"Originally he intended to pass his cultivated technique to his daughter."

"But now, after Yang Jun and Yun Xiyue are together, Yun Fengyun cannot help but give importance to this matter."

"Father Emperor, Empress Dowager, and Yang Jun still haven't come; shall we go see?"

"Yun Xiyue changed the topic, looking at Yun Fengyun with another sweet smile."

"At this moment, it seemed as if everything had been wiped away, leaving no trace."

"She reached out her hand, pulled Yun Fengyun up, intending to take him away together."

"You go first."

"Yun Fengyun smiled, but he was unwilling to go along."

"Alright then, I'll go take a look."

"Yun Xiyue responded and hurriedly ran off."

"She now simply wants to be able to see Yang Jun."

"Moreover, she wants to know what her mother, behind her back, intends to give Yang Jun, and why she must put on such a mysterious act."

"Yun Fengyun watched Yun Xiyue leave, the smile in his eyes gradually fading."

"A sense of solemnity welled up, and his inner unease rose again."

That night's liquor, I brought it up with Yang Ye, getting him to hand over the Soldier Pine matter.

But Yang Ye's response was very blunt, directly refusing.

Such a matter made Yun Fengyun deeply worried.

Perhaps the Pacified West Army no longer belongs to this Son of Heaven of mine, but only obeys Yang Ye's orders.

Now Yang Jun has changed his previous obstinacy and entered the Martial Way.

Furthermore, his talent is not ordinary either; the most important manifestation is that at the Ancestral Temple, his sword's might surpasses heaven.

Under such circumstances, Yun Fengyun naturally does not want to further aid Yang Jun.

Otherwise, Yang Jun would probably also no longer be willing to merely be a Prince Consort.

If Yang Jun grows up to be a second Yang Ye, then this worrying matter, as things stand now, is still a good thing.

After all, Yang Ye still greatly respects this sworn elder brother of mine, the bond of gold and orchid, so he still has many restrictions and much self‑control, and will not do anything else.

But now, this brat Yang Jun seems to be innately displeasing to me.

If he causes some trouble, then the outcome could be beyond what I can imagine.

This guy is absolutely not someone who would be content to remain beneath others.

Yang Jun does not want to be merely a Prince Consort; if Yang Ye knew his son's thoughts, what would happen then?

After all, that is a true father‑and‑son relationship.

Yang Ye will certainly help Yang Jun; everyone understands that result.

What could happen now is as clear as can be.

Now Yun Xiyue shows great concern for Yang Jun, while Yun Feng has absolutely no chance left to teach his Imperial Dragon Holy Skill to Yun Xiyue.

Furthermore, Yun Fengyun is even more worried, given the current relationship between Yun Xiyue and Yang Jun; if I were to teach her, the ensuing result would be easy to foresee.

Perhaps Yun Xiyue hasn't even learned it yet, but has already given everything to Yang Jun.

Yun Fengyun does not want to see Yang Jun become even stronger, strong enough to make me wary and uneasy; such a consequence is truly not what I wish to witness!

But Yun Xiyue is not really suited to inherit my Holy Skill; then who should?

Who else, after mastering it, would not oppose me, and furthermore would not become a rebel?

In that case, only among my own imperial princes can I choose one.

Such a person is truly the right one to undertake this matter.
