1832 The Omen of Explosion (3)
Now that Yun Qi could be reborn, even though Yun Qingchen was a junior, he also expressed his grat.i.tude solemnly. Yun Feng couldn’t help but feel gratified. This kid had indeed grown up and could understand the hards.h.i.+ps of his father.
“Qingchen!” A call came. Yun Qingchen immediately let go of Gong Tianqing. He turned around and saw his father and a man with bright facial features but a gloomy expression. “Father!” Yun Qingchen shouted as he glanced at the man next to Yun Sheng. “This… must be Second Uncle!”
Yun Feng and Gong Tianqing were both a bit stunned. They didn’t expect Yun Sheng and Yun Qi to come so late at night. Gong Tianqing glanced at Yun Qi’s expression and found that he seemed a bit unhappy. Thinking of the scene just then, she couldn’t help but lower her head even more. She didn’t know why she felt so guilty.
“Brother, this is your nephew, my son, Yun Qingchen.” Yun Sheng was very happy to see Yun Qingchen back and quickly called him over. Yun Qingchen walked over and shouted happily, “Second Uncle!”
Yun Qi’s expression eased a lot. He patted Yun Qingchen’s shoulder with a smile. “Brother’s son is indeed outstanding.”
Yun Qingchen chuckled. “Father, Second Uncle, are you here for my aunt?”
Yun Sheng nodded. Yun Qingchen said, “Then I’ll go back first. When Second Uncle comes back, I won’t have to worry about not seeing him.”
“This kid!” Yun Sheng was helpless. Yun Qingchen turned around. “Sister Tianqing, Aunt, I’ll go back first!” Yun Qingchen tapped the tip of his foot and jumped up, disappearing. Yun Sheng and Yun Qi walked over. Yun Sheng frowned. “Feng, is it a bit inappropriate for Qingchen to call Tianqing sister?”
“Let him be. It doesn’t matter.” Yun Qi said in a low voice with a slightly gloomy face. Yun Feng glanced at her Second Brother’s expression and saw that something was wrong. He indeed cared about Tianqing a bit.
“Brother, Second Brother, why are you here?”
Yun Sheng said, “Feng, when Yun Qi comes home, he should go to the ancestral hall and pay respect to the three elders of the Yun family first. The three elders are considerate of us. It’s time for Yun Qi to greet the three elders tomorrow. He should also go to the ancestral hall of the Yun family.”
Yun Feng nodded. “Alright, I’ll go with you tomorrow.”
“Alright, I’m here to tell you about this.” Yun Sheng smiled lightly and touched Yun Feng’s head with his big hand. “It’s already so late. You should rest. Even if you’re not tired, you should let Tianqing rest.”
Yun Feng nodded. “Yun Qi and I will go back first.” Yun Sheng turned around, but Yun Qi frowned and glanced at Gong Tianqing. “I need to talk to you. Can you come out for a while?”
Yun Sheng and Yun Feng were stunned. Gong Tianqing was stunned for a moment and nodded. “Brother, go back first. I’ll go back after talking to her.” Yun Qi turned around and looked at Yun Feng. “Feng, go to bed early.” After saying that, Yun Qi turned around and walked out. Gong Tianqing was silent for a while and followed him. The two of them disappeared outside the door.
“Second Brother indeed cares about Tianqing,” mumbled Yun Feng. Yun Sheng chuckled. “Feng, do you want to set them up?”
Yun Feng smiled rather complicatedly. “Set them up… They were supposed to be together…”
Yun Qi walked all the way forward and didn’t say anything. His elongated shadow was projected on the ground and it was stepped on by Gong Tianqing. Gong Tianqing lowered her head slightly and followed behind silently without saying anything. The two of them were very silent.
Gong Tianqing didn’t ask where Yun Qi was going. She just followed him silently. The two of them walked forward like this. Gong Tianqing didn’t look up until Yun Qi stopped. She saw Yun Qi’s slightly angry expression. “You’re not even asking where I’m taking you? Or what we’re going to do?”
Gong Tianqing chuckled. “This is the Yun family. You’re Yun Feng’s Second Brother. Will you do anything despicable?”
Yun Qi was stunned. Then, he turned around and paused for a while before he said, “I heard from Feng that your Dead Fire separated my soul from the body of a powerhouse of the Blood Souls.”
Gong Tianqing replied in a low voice. Yun Qi lowered his black eyes. “Your Dead Fire can touch my soul? Is that so?”
Gong Tianqing nodded and looked at Yun Qi in confusion. What exactly was he going to ask?
Yun Qi took a deep breath. “Then, let your Dead Fire touch my soul again.”
“What?” Gong Tianqing widened her eyes. Yun Qi frowned. “I want to know how to trigger my ability. If I have the ability to share some of Feng’s burden, I certainly can’t let her carry everything alone!”
“But…” Gong Tianqing wanted to say something, but Yun Qi interrupted her. “I don’t care about what you say! Since my power comes from my soul and your Dead Fire is the only thing that can touch my soul, you’re the only possibility I know so far!”
“My Dead Fire can burn the soul! Do you want your soul to turn into ashes in my fire?” Gong Tianqing also roared. “My Dead Fire is useful for the soul, but it can’t be touched for a long time. Yun Feng said that we can’t rush this! There’s always a way to unleash the power of your bloodline!”
“Do you want me to watch Feng run around again? If I come back, I won’t do nothing!”
“I know how you feel. You want to share Yun Feng’s burden. I also know that she carried a lot of things on her shoulders alone. However, the power of your bloodline is too special. My Dead Fire might be useful, but if we make a mistake, do you want Yun Feng’s efforts to be in vain? How easy do you think it was for her to save you?”
Yun Qi was stunned. Gong Tianqing’s voice became much louder in the end. Gong Tianqing took a deep breath. “I understand your anxiety, but I won’t agree to your request just then! I can only use the Dead Fire if there’s no danger at all.”
Yun Qi clenched his fists fiercely. It could be seen that he was depressed in his mind. The unique power of his bloodline was sealed in his soul. He was no different from an ordinary person right now. How would he have the ability to share Yun Feng’s burden like this? Did he come back to be a useless person who lived a pampered life?
“Don’t be anxious. Yun Feng will also help you find a way to release the power of the bloodline… We’ll all look for it. Don’t try it easily. You must know that your rebirth was based on the efforts of many people…” Gong Tianqing thought of You Yue and her heart immediately sank. If Yun Qi didn’t cherish her like this, wouldn’t You Yue’s sacrifice be in vain?
“You seem to care about my life and death very much,” said Yun Qi as he looked straight at Gong Tianqing with his black eyes. “A lot of people’s hard work has been gathered. Does this include the old friend you know?”
Gong Tianqing felt sad in her mind. He was exactly the same as You Yue. His body figure, appearance and even details were so similar, as if they were the same person! Gong Tianqing didn’t know how to hide her heartache in front of him.
Gong Tianqing sniffed hard and raised her head, forcing back all the tears in her eyes. “Yes! Of course, that includes him. It’s his wish that you can be reborn.”
“Who is he?” Yun Qi frowned. Gong Tianqing smiled wryly. “His name was You Yue. He’s someone I liked… Someone who once had part of your soul.”
Yun Qi suddenly raised his thick eyebrows. The man had part of his soul!
“He has the same face and body as you do. He’s no different from you right now. Back then, Yun Feng accepted him as her Second Brother. Her feelings for you were once transferred to You Yue.” Gong Tianqing whispered slowly and told him about those days in the Juxing School. Yun Qi listened with a complicated expression.
“…He chose to die. He chose to turn his remnant soul into ashes and let the part of your soul be preserved. This was his wish, because this was Yun Feng’s wish.” A stream of tears flowed down Gong Tianqing’s face. “He treated Yun Feng as his sister. He told me many times that he’s proud to have such a sister. If Yun Feng wanted it, he’d give it to her no matter what.”
Yun Qi was speechless. It was hard for him to imagine what kind of person that man called You Yue was. He used to have part of his soul. Did some of his feelings for Gong Tianqing come from this part of his soul? They… should like each other.
“Since Feng treated him as Second Brother, she also treated him as family,” said Yun Qi. “She knew that I was already dead.”
Gong Tianqing chuckled. “You Yue knew that better than anyone else. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have made the choice willingly. He only treated Yun Feng with sincerity. It’s good that you’re back. You Yue’s choice didn’t make things difficult for Yun Feng. If he didn’t die, your soul wouldn’t be complete and you wouldn’t be able to be reborn at all.”
Yun Qi pursed his lips and felt very complicated in his mind. Gong Tianqing wiped the tears on her face randomly. “I don’t mean anything else by saying this. I just want you to cherish yourself. It’s easy to live until you die, but it’s too difficult to go from death to life. Some people have a second chance, but some don’t have a second chance.”
Yun Qi frowned and nodded after a while. “Got it.”
Gong Tianqing smiled. “If you understand, I didn’t say so much in vain. There will be a way. The power of your bloodline will be activated one day. By then, you will have to help even if you don’t want to.”
Yun Qi chuckled and nodded. “Thank you for telling me so much. I… never knew about this.”
Gong Tianqing shook her head. “You don’t have to know that. It’s all in the past. It’s already so late. I should go back. You should go back and rest early. You still need time to adapt to the fusion of your soul and body. You must rest more.”
Gong Tianqing turned around and was about to leave, when Yun Qi suddenly reached out and grabbed Gong Tianqing’s arm. Gong Tianqing’s body trembled fiercely. Yun Qi only felt that his heart shrank and he couldn’t help but say, “Do you and You Yue… like each other?”
Gong Tianqing was silent for a moment. Then, there was a gentle smile in her eyes. “Yes, he’s my lover.”
Yun Qi wanted to say something, but he suddenly felt that there seemed to be a ball of fire burning endlessly deep in his throat, making him unable to say anything. He frowned hard and the inside of his body suddenly became irritable. That fire seemed to be burning into his blood, making his entire body boil from the inside out!
“Ugh!” Yun Qi grunted and couldn’t help but exert more strength in his hand. Gong Tianqing felt a bit of pain and noticed that something was wrong with him.
“Yun Qi, what’s wrong?” Gong Tianqing immediately turned around. Seeing that Yun Qi was frowning more and more tightly, she didn’t know what to do. “Just wait. I’ll call Yun Feng over!” Gong Tianqing turned around and was about to run over, but Yun Qi pulled her back abruptly. “Don’t go…”
“But you…” Gong Tianqing looked anxious. Yun Qi endured the burning and uncomfortable feeling inside his body and suddenly knelt on the ground with weak knees. A glint of light suddenly burst out of the depths of his black eyes!
