Chapter 868: I didn't tell you to leave
"Mufeng, perhaps Xu Tian had some unspeakable difficulties." Yun Hexian spoke up. "For example, he missed Tingting too much, so he deliberately lied."
On the surface, Yun Hexian appeared to be pleading for Xu Tian, but in reality, he was reminding Madam Yun about the fact that "Xu Tian lied."
"Second Brother, you are just too kind-hearted and unwilling to think of people in a bad way." Yun Mufeng gave a light hum. "But what kind of person is the leader of the Azure Wolf Hall? Burning, killing, and looting—he does all kinds of evil. Such a person with a stinking reputation is now full of lies, trying to come to our Yun family to gain some benefits. What is there to sympathize with?"
"He hasn't been here long, and he could coax our mom into recognizing him as a godson. If he has the Yun family as a backer, he will be even more unscrupulous in the future."
"What you said also makes sense..." Yun Hexian said somewhat helplessly. "It really was me thinking too well of him and underestimating his ambition."
When Xu Tian arrived at the Yun family manor, he felt a heavy atmosphere while still outside the living room.
Observing Madam Yun's face full of anger, he guessed that Yun Mufeng and Yun Hexian must have told Madam Yun about his identity and added fuel to the fire.
The Azure Wolf Hall had once snatched business from the Yun family and had had very unpleasant trouble with them.
Madam Yun would naturally dislike him.
However, things cannot be generalized.
Since these two people wanted to play tricks behind his back and try their best to exclude him from contacting Madam Yun, he would have to see if Madam Yun would really be persuaded by their few words.
Yun Mufeng, a fake, wanted to get the Yun family to recognize his identity; it would be impossible without an inside man.
And according to the current situation of the Yun family, the most likely candidate for this "inside man" was the adopted son, Yun Hexian.
The first person to know his Wolf King identity was also Yun Hexian.
If Yun Mufeng had hostility toward him, it was still reasonable, but Yun Hexian had no grievances with him; why target him everywhere?
Xu Tian couldn't figure it out, but he didn't want to let Yun Hexian succeed either.
To get the Yun family to blacklist him, it ultimately depended on Madam Yun's meaning.
He steadied his mind, pretended to know nothing, and walked into the living room.
Yun Mufeng saw Xu Tian, lowered his eyes slightly, and a flash of satisfaction passed through them.
Since Madam Yun already knew that Xu Tian was the leader of the Azure Wolf Hall, now that she saw Xu Tian, she would definitely be furious and kick him out.
Being kicked out of the house by his own biological mother—this was Xu Tian's end!
Madam Yun also saw Xu Tian. Her eyes sank, and she was about to speak.
Xu Tian, however, spoke first: "Madam Yun, I am very sorry. I came here today to confess something to you. When I introduced myself to you before, I always called myself Xu Tian, but in fact, besides this identity, I am also the leader of the Azure Wolf Hall."
Xu Tian's words made a flash of astonishment pass through Yun Mufeng's eyes.
This brat is exposing himself?
"Continue." Madam Yun was also somewhat surprised, but there was no expression on her face, making it impossible to tell if she was happy or angry.
"Madam Yun, I think you should have heard before that I went missing for a few years. That was because I felt remorse for the mistakes I made when I was young and arrogant, and I was very repulsed by the life of swords and shadows without peace back then, so I just left."
"After I left Wuji Island, I went to Huaxia, and later experienced some things. Unfortunately, I injured my head, and I couldn't remember many things."
"When I recovered some memories, I understood the responsibilities on my shoulders. No matter what, the Azure Wolf Hall still had many brothers and sisters, and I couldn't leave them alone, so I returned to Wuji Island."
"I lived a drifting life before. Even though the days in Huaxia were very peaceful, I never had a sense of belonging. After meeting Momo, my life finally had more fun. He is a very sensible, smart, and cute child. When I took care of him, I didn't know his identity, and everything I did was out of sincerity."
"Until this return to Wuji Island, I discovered that Momo was actually a member of the Yun family, and you, Madam Yun, are reasonable and have taken good care of me. I felt more and more ashamed in my heart."
"I was young and ignorant back then and even had quite a big conflict with the Yun family. Now, what face do I have to face you and recognize you as my godmother?"
"The reason I hesitated when you wanted to recognize me last time was also because my identity couldn't see the light, and I was worried you would be angry."
"However, I have been reflecting during this time. I should face my past, and I cannot betray your trust, so I came here today to confess. Whether you can forgive me or not, I must say sorry to you uprightly."
"Madam Yun, I apologize to you for my previous actions."
Xu Tian did not shirk responsibility, admitted his mistakes openly, and calmly accepted all results. This made Madam Yun, whose face was covered in dark clouds, gradually soften her expression.
Yun Mufeng secretly clenched his fists.
Hmph, a sanctimonious guy, truly hypocritical!
"Xiao Tian, the reason you didn't tell me your true identity before was because you were worried I would be angry?" Madam Yun spoke slowly.
"Yes, I didn't intend to hide it. Sister Shuying can testify for me; she has always known that I am the leader of the Azure Wolf Hall." Xu Tian replied.
Madam Yun raised her eyebrows slightly and turned to look at Yun Mufeng.
"You go and have Shuying come over."
"Mom, are you looking for me?" Before Yun Mufeng could speak, Yun Shuying's figure had already walked into the living room.
"Shuying, tell me the truth. Did you know long ago that Xu Tian was the leader of the Azure Wolf Hall?" Madam Yun asked.
"Ah?" Yun Shuying looked at Xu Tian in surprise, suddenly thought of something, and pretended to ask in surprise, "You all know?"
Xu Tian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
This woman still had some use at a critical moment.
"Know what?" The haze on Madam Yun's face had completely dissipated, but she still pursued the question.
"Know Xu Tian's identity." Yun Shuying replied.
"You knew, so why didn't you tell me?" Madam Yun pulled a long face again, but this time she was dissatisfied with her daughter.
"You didn't ask me either." Yun Shuying said righteously. "And, saying it would make you unhappy, and maybe you would find fault again, so why would I tell you..."
Madam Yun:...
"Alright, alright, go do whatever you need to do." Madam Yun waved her hand impatiently.
Her eldest daughter's temper was becoming more and more like hers; she really didn't know whether to be happy or worried.
"Madam Yun, I am very sorry for causing you trouble. I will take my leave now. Don't worry, I won't come to the door again in the future."
"You child, I didn't tell you to leave." Seeing Xu Tian was about to leave, Madam Yun hurriedly said.
Xu Tian's footsteps paused, and he turned around in surprise.
Actually, he hadn't expected Madam Yun to have such a reaction.
Originally, Xu Tian chose to confess because he was gambling—gambling that Madam Yun's impression of him hadn't deteriorated to an irredeemable degree. ===== CHAPTER 869 =====
