Chapter 518 - 518 | Mother's Care
"Why is there only one room?"
Zheng Xiang and Bai Qing'er asked at once.
Ye Tian Yun replied in a matter of factly manner, "Why would you need two? This one had a huge bed. Do you guys want to play on the bed?"
"Wha-what- what are you saying?" Bai Qing'er suddenly got flustered.
Even Zheng Xiang looked at Ye Tian Yun from up to down, and then, putting his hand on the latter's forehead, he said, "You don't have a fever, but then why have you become so dense?"
"What?" Ye Tian Yun was confused.
'Aren't you guys in a relationship? Why the fuck are you acting so much?'
"I didn't hear clearly, but you did tell the guard to prepare two rooms, right?" Bai Qing'er asked.
Ye Tian Yun nodded, "Yeah, but that's for Jun Xie and Wu Qingwu."
."Hmph! We will see when they come," Bai Qing'er stormed to the other room without waiting for any response.
"Don't you want to stay in one room?" Ye Tian Yun called from behind, confused
"I don't stay close to 'just friends', hmph!" Bai Qing'er's instantly replied.
An awkward silence prevailed between Ye Tian Yun and Zheng Xiang for some moments before the former cleared his throat and asked, "Brother Zheng, do you know when Jun Xie might arrive?"
Zheng Xiang shook his head, "I am sorry, but I don't know anything about the happenings in the sect. I don't even remember what I was doing in the last two months."
Ye Tian Yun pursed his lips and put his right hand on Zheng Xiang's shoulders, "Things may not get back the same, but this is your turn to adapt and grow. The enemy is still at large; we have a long way to go."
"Yes, Brother Fang."
A few minutes later, Fang Chen returned to his room, but before he entered, he asked the guard to call Fang Chen's mother, Xin Xue Yan, about something important.
'Let's clear one thing first.'
Because of the unexpected arrival of Zheng Xiang and Bai Qing'er, he had almost forgotten that he was currently acting as an amnesiac. This was, in fact, not negligence; rather, he did it on purpose.
'This is my chance to show some recovery.'
Ye Tian Yun wanted to leave the house in Fang Chen's disguise to understand the Capital City better, but for that, he needed to show signs of recovery.
Using Zheng Xiang and Bai Qing'er as scapegoats, he will show slight recovery of his memory to Madam Fang.
It won't be long before he would be able to leave the house from the main exit instead of jumping over a wall.
Knock-knock
"I am coming in."
A woman's serene voice called out from outside.
"Yeah," Ye Tian YUn replied as Madam Fang, Xin Xue Yan, entered his room.
"What happened, son?" She asked with concern written all over her face, "Is everything alright?"
Ye Tian Yun nodded, "yes, in fact, it's better. If you haven't heard yet, some of my friends from the Gracious Sword Sect have come to visit me."
"Oh?" Madam Fang smiled, "Were you able to recognize them?"
Ye Tian Yun nodded, "At the beginning, it was a bit of a problem, but after some exchange, I remembered a lot of things."
"Oh! That's great!" A huge smile formed on Madam Fang's face, "This is good news; my son will be able to recover soon!"
"Yes," Ye Tian Yun nodded, "Maybe a day or two more before I am ready to head out."
"Head out?" Madam Fang frowned, "Absolutely not!"
"Huh? Why?"
"Fang Chen, even if you recover right now, I will not allow you to go out for another week. You need some rest."
"But-"
"No buts. There will be no more discussion on this."
Ye Tian Yun facepalmed himself and laid back on the bed.
Madam Fang rolled back her eyes, "No need to overreact; I will not change my mind."
"Alright, alright." Ye Tian Yun begrudgingly agreed.
Madam Fang smiled, "Son, it's for your own good. And because of the news of your marriage going public tomorrow, it's best if you stay in the clan for some time. Don't forget you will be the center of attention for the whole Capital city."
Ye Tian Yun frowned, "Is there really no other way? Can't we postpone the marriage for a few months? I just turned sixteen. Who gets married at my age?"
Madam Fang smiled, "Don't act like a girl. Son, marriage is important for not only the Gao Clan but also for the Fang Clan."
"Our clan might seem powerful and intimidating from outside, but it's a hollow shell. We need the Gao clan as much as they need us."
Ye Tian Yun frowned, "So you chose to sacrifice me?"
"Sacrifice you?" Madam Fang frowned, "Those are harsh words, Son. You are not a sacrifice. Rather, this marriage is insurance for you. Also, that lass from the Gao Clan is a very virtuous girl. I am sure she will keep you in check."
"What is that supposed to mean?"
"Hmph! Don't think just because you have come back from the sect I will forgive you for your deeds in this city."
Ye Tian Yun gave a wry smile, "I have grown now…."
'Fuck you, Fang Chen.'
"Anyway," Madam Fang suddenly said, "You need to get ready. The Gao Clan's clan head, Gao Kang, will visit you later in the evening. Try not to disappoint him."
Ye Tian Yun nodded.
"I will go back now. Don't pressure yourself too much. We're in no hurry for you to remember everything. I don't want you to harm your mental state in all this."
Ye Tian YUn smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, I will be alright."
"Hm, you better be." Madam Fang stood up and said, "I will leave now. If you need anything, just tell the guard. Or you can also call for me."
Ye Tian Yun nodded and closed his eyes.
*Click*
Madam Fang closed the door after she left the room.
Inside, Ye Tian Yun covered his face with a hand and let out a sigh.
'I need to set up everything before Wang Yao enters the Capital City. Where the fuck is Jun Xie?'
