Searching for Treasures in the Clouds

Yun Quan doesn't seem to care about anything, but he pays special attention to these two dogs, just like taking care of his own children. The lives of the two dogs are comparable to those of rich young masters. Usually, one dog is taken care of by at least two people.

He hated Yun Quan. Although the dogs were his, the animal world was a simple one and there was no need to vent his disgust on the two dogs. Seeing that they had no ill intentions, Yun Jixing smiled and nodded at them, then turned and walked in another direction.

As he walked away, the two dogs followed him.

He felt strange and turned back to look at the two dogs following him, and at the same time he caught a glimpse of another figure.

It was his third uncle Yun Liuyi. Ever since he had secretly fought with him and Yun Quan, whenever he saw them, they looked very strange, like two ghosts, their whereabouts were erratic, as if they were not walking on solid ground. He could always see them unexpectedly.

Just like now, he felt that Yun Liuyi appeared there out of thin air, or that he first emerged from the ground as a wisp of green smoke and then changed into a human form. It was strange and old, older than this house, as old as the lanterns swaying in the middle of the night on the ancient street five hundred years ago.

Both the father and the son are handsome men, but they look like foxes. They looked nice when they were pretending to be kind, but now their smiles are too hypocritical, like a pair of evil goblins, ready to eat people.

That temperament combined with their appearance made Yun Jixing feel really scared when he saw them at times.

Seeing that Yun Jixing noticed him, Yun Liuyi smiled at him and immediately walked towards him. When he came in front of him, he first lowered his head to look at the two dogs at his feet before talking to him.

"Shanyuan, why are you here at the ancestral hall so early in the morning? What happened?"

"Hello, Third Uncle." Yun Jixing also smiled, "Grandpa and grandma asked me to come here. I've been a little arrogant recently, and grandpa and grandma were afraid that I would abuse my power and forget how to be a good person, so they asked me to come here to confess to the Heavenly Venerable and our ancestors."

Yun Liuyi wrinkled his nose slightly, and the smile on his face faded a little. "I see, Shanyuan, then you must remember the teachings of our ancestors and remember to keep a low profile. Otherwise, no matter how big our family is, we will get ourselves into trouble sooner or later."

Yun Jixing nodded, "I understand, Third Uncle."

"That's all, I have something else to do and need to go to the auditorium, so I'll leave first."

"Third uncle, take care."

Yun Liuyi gently kicked the butts of the two dogs beside him and said, "Come on, both of you follow me."

He gently scolded the two dogs and turned to leave. The two dogs tucked their tails between their legs and slowly followed him away.

Yun Jixing stood there motionless. He always felt that it was a bit strange to have two dogs following Yun Liuyi. He reached to his side, trying to take out his cell phone to take a picture, but found nothing.

His cell phone was confiscated, and he was not allowed to bring any electronic products or entertainment items to the ancestral hall while kneeling as punishment. His cell phone was kept by his parents.

He sighed softly, stopped looking at Yun Liuyi, and left to find his parents.

On the way,

He ran into Xiang Huiyun and Yun Zhonghe, who were walking together, supporting each other, with a housekeeper following them to look after them.

Yun Jixing strode forward and greeted them, "Grandpa, Grandma."

Then, he greeted the housekeeper, "Hello, Grandpa Jin."

The butler smiled and nodded, "Hello, Master Yuan."

Seeing that Yun Jixing seemed to have something to say, the butler consciously stepped aside after greeting them to leave space for them to talk.

Yun Jixing looked around and saw that no one was coming over, so he asked Xiang Huiyun and Yun Zhonghe, "Grandpa, grandma, did you eat the things that Third Uncle sent?"

When Yun Liuyi was mentioned, the smiles on the two old men's faces disappeared and they became a little worried.

"There is none now, so everything we brought is just left here." Xiang Huiyun replied.

"That's good, grandma, grandpa, stay away from Third Uncle, and you will live longer than the Southern Mountains. Don't believe anything he says, and don't believe Yun Quan's words either."

Yun Zhonghe's eyes, which used to be clear and shining, were now a little gray. He looked at Yun Jixing, but he didn't seem to be looking at him, but through him to see somewhere else. He sighed and said helplessly, "Shan Yuan, you don't have to worry about this. We believe everything you tell us, so how can we know what to do?"

After a pause, he continued, "We really can't figure it out. It's been so many years, and it looked fine for the first few decades, but why is it like this? Even if it is a dead tree, it should bloom, but why is it... Alas..."

"Yeah, why does he have to disguise himself like that?" Xiang Huiyun echoed.

……

After chatting with his grandparents, Yun Jixing helped them back to the room for a nap before going to his parents to get his cell phone.

His parents were chatting with his uncle and aunt and had no time to pay attention to him. He didn't want to get involved in the conversation with his elders for the time being, so after getting his phone, he immediately set off back to the courtyard where his room was.

On the way back to his room, he met several of his cousins, who all asked him to get together and chat, but he declined because he only wanted to do one thing at the moment, which was to call Yu Ru.

After returning to the room and locking the door, he quickly walked towards a beauty couch in the room. He took off his shoes, lay down on it, and sent a video call request to Yu Ru.

The call was connected quickly, and the camera was shaking violently, and it took about a minute to stabilize. It turned out that Yu Ru was still sleeping. Just now she closed her eyes and tried to find a position for the phone to stand up. Now she had found it, and the phone was leaning against the wall. She retracted her hands into the quilt and slept, leaving only half of her face in front of the camera.

When he saw her face, Yun Jixing smiled subconsciously. He was not very happy during these days during the New Year holidays. Instead, he was more nervous and tense than ever before.

Here he will face off against Yun Liuyi and Yun Quan, but he has not found enough evidence and reasons to bring them down and remove them from the Yun family. He can only keep an eye on the father and son at all times to prevent them from doing anything bad.

This made him very tired, and only when he saw Yu Ru could he relax temporarily.

"Aru, why haven't you gotten up yet at this time today?"

Yun Jixing looked hard at Yu Ru on the other side of the phone screen and found that the place where she slept was a little small, so he could see all the furnishings in the room at a glance.

This is not Jianshan Yunting.

After thinking for a while, he asked again, "Aru, are you feeling unwell?"

Yu Ru was almost asleep, but she could still hear his voice, so she shook her head in response.

"Aru, have you returned to your parents' home?"

Yu Ru didn't respond.

Yun Jixing asked again, and Yu Ru finally responded. She nodded with great difficulty.

Yun Jixing moved the phone closer and looked at Yu Ru's face carefully. There seemed to be nothing unusual in her expression, as if she was just sleeping. So he didn't ask any more questions and just looked at her quietly on the screen.
