Chapter 917: Responsibility

"Xiao Tian, are you going to the Profound Turtle Tang family's mountain villa for training?" Madam Yun wasn't affected by the previous incident and was still kind to Xu Tian.

"Yes, actually, I've already gone over to attend a few classes some time ago." Xu Tian nodded in response.

"Very good. You young people should have more training. The Profound Turtle Tang family's mountain villa is a well-known institution on Wuji Island. Even if you don't work as a bounty hunter in the future, you can learn a lot of skills." Madam Yun said earnestly to Xu Tian. "Mufeng and Hexian, both of them once entered the Profound Turtle Tang family's mountain villa to study, and both achieved good results. That place doesn't value background, only strength, so you don't need to have too much pressure. Gold will always shine. Godmother is optimistic about you."

"Thank you, Godmother." Xu Tian said.

"By the way, if you encounter any trouble, just mention Mufeng. Although he is no longer in the villa, he still has influence."

Hearing this, a flash of disdain quickly passed through Yun Mufeng's eyes, and he even glared at Xu Tian provocatively.

However, he and Madam Yun were sitting on the same side, so Madam Yun didn't notice his hostility toward Xu Tian.

Xu Tian treated Yun Mufeng as air and remained indifferent to his provocation.

"Godmother, don't worry about me, I can handle it."

Xu Tian chatted with Madam Yun for a while, then went upstairs to Yun Moting's room to say goodbye to the little guy.

After lunch, Xu Tian left the Yun family.

However, he didn't return to the Profound Turtle Tang family's mountain villa immediately, but prepared to go to the Shadow base first.

Previously, he had asked Chen Xiaoxiao, Wuling, and others to recruit troops for him. Since some time had passed, it was time for him to go and check on the progress.

During this period, Chen Xiaoxiao and others had been reporting the progress to him, but Xu Tian hadn't gone back.

Now, even if he had gained a firm foothold in the Azure Wolf Hall, he still needed the Shadow's forces to grow as soon as possible.

"Xiao Tian!" Just as Xu Tian was about to walk out of the manor, he suddenly heard a familiar voice behind him.

He stopped and turned back, finding Yun Shuying, wearing a bohemian long dress, running toward him quickly.

Yun Shuying's complexion didn't look good, and her eye sockets were faintly red, her emotions seeming unstable.

"Are you in a bad mood?" Xu Tian asked.

"It's nothing..." Yun Shuying hesitated to speak, finally sighing lightly. "Sigh... I just had an argument with them."

Without her explicitly stating it, Xu Tian knew that "them" referred to Madam Yun and Mr. Yun.

In the Yun family, the only ones who could influence Yun Shuying's emotions were them.

According to his observations during this period, the relationship between Yun Hexian and Yun Shuying had never been close, and that imposter might have a personality too far from his previous one, to the point that Yun Shuying also looked down on him.

"They are also doing it for your own good. Maybe their concepts are different, but they still care about you very much." Xu Tian persuaded. "There's no overnight grudge between father and daughter, mother and daughter, so don't take it to heart."

"Hmm, I know." Yun Shuying didn't seem to want to say more and didn't explain to Xu Tian why she argued with Madam Yun. "Why are you leaving so early today? Not staying to finish dinner with Momo?"

"Hmm, I have things to do." Xu Tian was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something and stopped again. "By the way, Shuying, your Yun family has such a large industry, it must be very difficult to manage, right?"

"Manage?" Yun Shuying tilted her head and thought. "I don't know. I don't usually ask about it."

She really didn't ask much about the Yun family's business, especially after arguing with Madam Yun and declaring that she wouldn't use a cent of the family's money.

What's more, Mr. Yun and Madam Yun were in their prime, so there was no need for her to worry about managing the family business.

Hearing her say this, Xu Tian rubbed his brow with a headache.

Yun Shuying's current attitude made it too easy for Yun Mufeng and Yun Hexian to plot against her.

But he couldn't tell Yun Shuying that the Yun Mufeng in the house now was an imposter, and that Yun Hexian had designs on the Yun family.

With Yun Shuying's personality, she would definitely be unable to resist running to question them immediately.

At that time, although Yun Hexian and Yun Mufeng would be easy to deal with, their backers behind the scenes would definitely find ways to hide and wait for the next opportunity.

The Yun family was one of the three great families, after all. The person behind the scenes could help Yun Hexian plot against the Yun family, so their status must not be simple.

Now Yun Shuying had no sense of precaution and had no obsession with the Yun family's industry, so Xu Tian decided to remind her implicitly that even if she had no intention of fighting for the family fortune, at least she couldn't let Yun Hexian and the imposter succeed.

"Your Yun family is one of the three great families. It must be very hard for Godmother and Godfather to preside over the overall situation, and you are the eldest daughter. If you have the energy, share some of the burden for them."

"Boss Xu, why are you acting so strange today?" Yun Shuying looked at Xu Tian inexplicably. "Why are you so interested in the Yun family's industry?"

Xu Tian:...

With Yun Shuying's tone, wouldn't she suspect that he was coveting the Yun family's fortune?

"I just feel that Godmother has been a bit hard-working recently." Xu Tian sighed silently in his heart. "What interest do I have in your family's affairs? Although I am half a Yun family member now, in the final analysis, it's all your family business."

"What are you saying? You are a Yun family member now, you are my younger brother!" Yun Shuying didn't think Xu Tian had any ulterior motives; she just had never thought about the issue of family fortune. "But what you just said, I really haven't thought about it... After all, those things in the Yun family are managed by Mom and Dad, and there's no need for me at all."

"But they will always have a time to retire. You are the eldest daughter, you should always take on more."

"And there's the little ancestor. By the time Mom and Dad retire, he will have grown up." Yun Shuying had a flash of inspiration. "Yun Hexian definitely won't do; he's not a Yun family member. As for that useless guy Yun Mufeng, if the family fortune is handed over to him, it won't be long before he squanders it all. So the best candidate is the little ancestor..."

She felt her idea was perfect. When the time came, she only needed to inherit the property, and as for other things, she would leave them all to the little ancestor.

Xu Tian:...

She was already plotting against his son; Yun Shuying really had the nerve...

Forget it, Yun Shuying wasn't enlightened. If he reminded her again, it might be counterproductive.

"In short, you have to take on the responsibility of the eldest daughter of the Yun family. I'm leaving now. I won't be back for a while. If you have anything here, call me."

"Go ahead and leave without worry!" Yun Shuying waved at Xu Tian heartlessly. "What could happen to me..."

Xu Tian's heart was very tired. He could only pray in his heart that during the time he was away, Yun Hexian and the others wouldn't make a move against Yun Shuying.

After coming out of the Yun family's territory, Xu Tian went directly to the Shadow base. ===== CHAPTER 918 =====
