The mastermind behind the scenes starting with the calamity of all races

Su Long seemed to wake up from a dream. Although he still had many questions to ask, he also wanted to see who this father, whose identity was not yet confirmed, was going to take him to meet.

The two remained silent throughout the journey.

soon.

Yun Jie led Su Long to the outside of a room, which was Lin Xuan's room.

"Go in, she's waiting for you inside. You can just ask her if you need anything."

Lin Xuan had lived in the Prince's mansion for eighteen years, so she was extremely familiar with it. Su Long could get the same answer he wanted from her.

Doorway.

Su Long hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted his teeth and pushed open the door.

After Su Long went inside, Yun Jie left immediately, because the scene that was about to unfold might be a little touching...

······

We walked to the back garden.

"They've been brought back?"

Beside the pool in the center of the garden.

Jiang Yao held a small basket filled with food. The fish and turtles around her were all standing with their mouths wide open, waiting for her to feed them.

"Yes, he's been brought back. Let him chat with Lin Xuan for a while first."

Yun Jie walked over to Jiang Yao, grabbed a handful of feed from the basket, and scattered it into the pond.

Jiang Yao asked, "Are you afraid he'll blame you?"

Yun Jie chuckled and said, "What am I afraid of? Although I separated him and his wife for eighteen years, I did save Xuan'er. Otherwise, they would have been separated for more than eighteen years."

"Besides, if he dares to complain about me, I'll beat him up."

Jiang Yao: "..."

"That's so typical of you. You treat your daughter like a precious gem, but you beat your son mercilessly. What? Does your son have a grudge against you?"

Yun Jie immediately denied it, "There's definitely no grudge, but sons are all a waste of money, how can they be obedient if you don't beat them?"

Perhaps to increase credibility, Yun Jie continued, "Look at Chen'er and Su Long now, aren't they very obedient? They've earned it through beatings."

Jiang Yao: "..."

Fortunately, Jiang Yao was already used to Yun Jie's bizarre parenting views. She had gotten used to it over the years, and she was even influenced by Yun Jie. When Yun Chen was a child, he was naughty and got a lot of beatings from her.

Immediately afterward, Jiang Yao said, "What exactly are your plans for A-Yu? Why are you getting him involved in the power struggle between the single and the multiple? With his current strength and background, he'll probably suffer a lot... Don't you care about your grandson at all?"

Yun Jie stared at the water for a long time in silence. “I have my reasons for doing this. Don’t worry, I’ll just suffer a little. My life is safe.”

"It's good that you know what's going on."

Jiang Yao nodded slowly, without saying anything more. She had just mentioned it casually, and since Yun Jie had already made plans, she naturally wouldn't interfere or press him for answers.

After that, the back garden fell silent as the two sat quietly, waiting.

a long time.

Lin Xuan then led Su Long to the back garden.

Lin Xuan greeted the two of them: "Dad, Mom."

Jiang Yao smiled and asked, "Well, how did the chat go?"

Lin Xuan smiled and replied, "Very good."

“Let’s go over there and admire the flowers. We’ll leave this place to the father and son for now.”

As she spoke, Jiang Yao took Lin Xuan's hand and walked towards the lotus pond not far away.

After glancing at Su Long, Lin Xuan obediently followed Jiang Yao away.

Su Long stood there, his eyes filled with complex emotions. He had already learned most of the information from Lin Xuan, including Yun Jie's identity and Yun Jie's actions of saving Lin Xuan without telling him.

"sit down."

Yun Jie broke the deadlock and gestured for Su Long to sit down.

Su Long hesitated for a moment, but still sat down.

"What? You can't even call me 'Dad' anymore?"

As he spoke, Yun Jie poured Su Long a cup of tea.

"Dad..."

"Relax a bit, come on, have a cup of tea first."

"This……"

Su Long hesitated to pick up his teacup.

Yun Jie's face instantly hardened. "I advise you not to be ungrateful, kid. Do you want a beating?"

Glug!

Startled, Su Long quickly picked up his teacup and drank it all in one gulp.

“Yes, that’s more like it,” Yun Jie nodded. “Hurry up, be a man, get to the point, stop dawdling.”

Sensing that familiar scent, even though Yun Jie still had an unfamiliar face, Su Long vaguely recalled the feeling he had when he was with Yun Jie in the past.

He wasn't so nervous and trembling when he spoke, "Dad, are you really the legendary Great Xuan King?"

Yun Jie glanced at him and said, "I am the Great Xuan King, but not as the legend says. I'm not dead yet."

"Alright, I think Xuan'er has already told you most about me, so there's no need to ask anymore. Let's just ask what you care about most."

Su Long's expression turned serious, and he slowly said, "Dad, I don't understand why you didn't tell me after you secretly saved Xuan'er. Why didn't you let me know? I still can't understand why, if you really wanted me to retire from the army, with your status, it would have been a simple matter of a word."

Yun Jie nodded, not denying it, "Yes, it really is just a matter of a word."

"Don't rush," Yun Jie raised his hand to stop Su Long from speaking, and said, "Son, let me ask you, do you think I would harm you or your family?"

Without a second thought, Su Long shook his head firmly, "You definitely won't."

Yun Jie smiled with satisfaction; all these years of raising him had finally paid off.

"Since that's the case, you don't need to ask anymore. I have my reasons for doing this, and the truth will come in time."

"If you really can't wait to know, that's fine too. Defeat your brother or sister, or even me, and I'll tell you everything right away. How about it?"

The older brother and sister Yun Jie mentioned were naturally Yun Chen and Yun Ying, the two siblings.

······

After Yun Jie finished speaking, he calmly sipped his tea.

He had thought Su Long would back down, but to his surprise, Su Long's expression and demeanor seemed to indicate that he was somewhat tempted.

After hesitating for a moment, Su Long asked, unwilling to give up, "I don't know... uh... what are the cultivation levels of my older brothers and sisters...?"

Su Long knew that his older brothers and sisters, as the children of the Great Xuan King, would certainly not be weak in cultivation, but he was unwilling to accept it.

And asking won't cost you anything.

Yun Jie gave him a strange look and said, "Your elder brother is now the Lord of the Great Xuan Palace. What do you think his cultivation level is?"

Su Long's expression stiffened. The Palace Master? That's at least the ninth level of the Sun and Moon Realm, right? Someone no weaker than Palace Master Xia... He can't afford to offend him...

Su Long then probed, "And... what about my eldest sister?"

Yun Jie said calmly, "Didn't you hear about it on the battlefield of the heavens? The name of Yun Ying of the Great Xuan Mansion is invincible. Your eldest sister has already defeated all opponents on the battlefield of the heavens."

Su Long: "..."

Yun Jie glanced at him and said, "Don't even think about it. You can't even beat Xuan'er right now."

Without even thinking, Su Long retorted, "How could that be? Isn't Xuan'er only at the Kaiyuan Realm? I'm at the Thousand Jun Ninth Level, how could I possibly lose to her?"

"Haha, didn't Xuan'er tell you? Oh, right, she's probably afraid of hurting your feelings."

Su Long had a vague sense of foreboding and quickly asked, "Dad, what do you mean by that?"

"That means Xuan'er's cultivation level has surpassed yours, and by a great deal."

Su Long shook his head violently, "How could that be! Her aptitude was so poor, she couldn't even get into a prestigious university back then."

Yun Jie remained noncommittal, "Indeed, Xuan'er's aptitude is somewhat lacking, but... our family has plenty of resources."

"..." Su Long was speechless: "So, Xuan'er's current cultivation level is..."

Yun Jie laughed and said, "It's not too high, Lingyun, Gaozhong."

when!

The teacup in Su Long's hand fell to the ground.

He stared at Yun Jie in disbelief, "How...how much?"

"Lingyun is very powerful, and he should be able to break through to the Mountain and Sea realms in a while."

pat!

Su Long immediately knelt down and hugged Yun Jie's leg tightly, "Dad, please... no, please carry me!"
