"Tomorrow morning?" Everyone in the study was surprised.
Ye Tian Yun nodded and then glanced at Pri Minister Fang Yuan, he said, " There's no point in continuing this discussion. If the Fang Clan doesn't help, I will take matters into my own hands."
Ye Tian Yun stood up and headed for the exit.
Just as he reached the door, Fang Ji moved and blocked his path.
"Xiao Chen, don't be reckless. Everyone in this room is worried about you, and you're only making things difficult for us."
Ye Tian Yun nodded, "No, it's just everyone here is failing to see the bigger picture."
"Bigger picture?" Pri Minister Fang Yuan narrowed his eyes, "Xiao Chen, show the 'bigger picture', and if your plan is feasible, I won't blink before supporting you.."
Ye Tian Yun turned around and stared at his supposed Father.
After a few monts of silence, he spoke, "I will have to disappoint you then. I can't give anything to you, except for a promise and assurance that the Fang Clan will beco the most powerful clan in the Lower Heavens."
"Oh?" Pri Minister Fang frowned, "That's a bold claim, Xiao Chen. And it's not sothing you should joke about."
Ye Tian Yun smiled, "You can take it as a joke and ignore everything that has happened, or you can trust on this and help get the Thunder Valley."
"Hm," Pri Minister Fang took a deep breath and signaled Fang Ji with his eyes to move.
Ye Tian Yun exhaled and left the room.
Everyone remained silent for a long ti, and finally, Madam Fang broke the ice.
"I will support my son. I know he's unreasonable here, but if he wants the Thunder Valley, I will get him the Thunder Valley."
"As for the challenge…." She glanced at Fang Yunru and added, "Yun'er… go easy on your brother."
….
*click!*
One by one, everyone in the room left.
First, Ye Tian Yun left. He passed through the hallway without a word, even ignoring Ao Jia, who had returned to his post after parking the carriage.
Then, Madam Fang took her leave, and once she stepped outside, she began calling the servants to invite Clan Head Gao Kang.
Second Master Fang Ji and his son left next, the forr hurried to prepare for the arrival of the Gao Clan entourage, while confusion filled the latter's mind after what had just transpired.
In the study, only two people remained - Pri Minister Fang Yuan and his little sister, Miss Fang Bai.
The latter rubbed her face and let out a sigh, stood up from her seat.
Without saying anything, she then headed for the exit.
"Bai'er."
Pri Minister Fang called out.
Fang Bai's steps paused; without turning back, she asked, "What do you want?"
"Do you want to support Xiao Chen?"
"Hm? Why are you asking ? You're the clan head. It's your decision to make."
"But you're his mother."
"Oh?" Fang Bai turned around and sneered, "You didn't ask anything when you decided to separate my son from ? Why bother asking now?"
"Bai'er that was-"
"Stop it," Fang Bai raised her hand, interrupting her brother, "No amount of excuses will work on . You ruined my family, Elder Brother. I haven't seen my husband for the last fifteen years, and my son has never called Mother. Why do you think I should even talk to you? Trust ; if not for the fact that I was worried for Xiao Chen, I wouldn't have even entered this room."
Pri Minister Fang pursed his lips.
"Bai'er, this is not the ti to bring up that matter. Su Ming is doing well. Have you not heard about the rumors? He's been enjoying his ti, whoring around the whole kingdom, creating spaw-"
"Shut up!" Fang Bai shouted. Her chest heaving up and down in anger.
"Elder Brother, I can tolerate everything, but you should never badmouth my husband! Do you think I am dumb? I can't see who created these rumors? It was you, Elder brother! It was you!"
Pri Minister Fang frowned, "Nonsense!"
"Nonsense?" Fang Bai sneered, "I don't care what you say; I have already investigated everything. Do you know how disappointed I was when I ca to know about the truth!? Why can't you leave him alone? Why are you after his life? Haven't you reached the peak? Why must you force him in a corner?"
Pri Minister Fang frowned, "You want to forgive him?"
"No." Fang Bai said, "Why should you forgive him? He hasn't committed any mistake. Why should you even forgive him for nothing? You should rather apologize to him!"
"Apologize?" Pri Minister Fang smiled.
"Yes."
"Hah, it's too late, and how can you say he didn't commit any mistake?"
"Oh?" Fang Bai narrowed his eyes, "What was his mistake? Loving ? Caring for ? Giving happiness?"
Pri Minister Fang Yuan smiled and shook his head, "You are blind in love. You will never understand. Su Ming had done his wrongs, but he's not ready to accept them. To himself, he's still a righteous prodigy, but what he fails to understand is that with every passing mont, the chances of forgiving him are decreasing."
Fang Bai took a deep breath, "Tell then. You always act mysterious and never tell anything. At first, I doubted myself, but now I am sure it's just another trick to confuse . Elder Brother, I don't want to listen to the reason, and I don't care. To , you're the villain of this story. You have separated from my husband, and you have made a stranger to my own son."
Clenching her teeth, Fang Bai turned around and stepped out of the room.
Halfway through, she paused for a mont, and without turning around, she added, "Elder Brother, about your earlier question on whether I support my son or not… Did you really think I would ever step back? The whole heavens may give up, but I will still stand beside my son, protecting him, loving him, and caring for him. Even if I never get to hear him call Mother."
