Just as Yun Sheng silently lamented for Tang Yu, Tang Yu was still unaware of the catastrophic trouble he had caused. After more than a year, not only had Tang Yu failed to improve, but he had become even more unruly. He originally studied at Wuxuan Wuji Hall, facilitated by the connections of Yun Canglang, and Zhan Li granted him this favor. However, who would have expected that within a few months of joining the Martial Arts Hall, he would collapse from the three daily training sessions. His mother, Yun Cangxue, distressed over her son, pleaded with Zhan Li to find lighter training for her own son. Zhan Li, loathing such nepotism, advised Tang Yu to withdraw graciously. Hence, helpless Yun Cangxue sent Tang Yu to the Marquis Weiyuan Mansion, to study martial arts with several children of the Marquis. Once there, Tang Yu did not learn his lesson but instead, together with the relatives of the Marquis, skipped classes and caused trouble, frequently visiting the brothels of Yujing, and even forcefully abducting local women in such public places as restaurants. Today, in the restaurant, drunk and bleary-eyed, he suddenly heard a sweet singing voice downstairs, and the young profligates around him incited him to capture the singing girl and bring her up. To his surprise, Huang Que refused to succumb to coercion and declared her identity; learning that she was affiliated with the Yun Family Army, Tang Yu was taken aback. But then he thought again; essentially, the Yun Family Army was just a group of low-class servants raised by his Yun Residence. Over the years, his uncle never left his home, and the salary of the Yun Family Army was entirely managed by his own mother Yun Cangxue. Regardless of whether Huang Que actually was a military dependent of the Yun Family Army, even if she genuinely was, Tang Yu wasn’t worried about her causing any real trouble. A low-class military dependent who subsisted on the salary provided by the Yun Family hardly amounted to anything, less than livestock; she should feel honored that Mr. Tang himself took interest. When Tang Yu came forward, he did not notice Yun Canglang. Today, Yun Canglang had changed his clothes and shaved his beard, completely different from the image of his uncle that Tang Yu remembered from his childhood in the Yun Residence, naturally, Tang Yu did not recognize him. Tang Yu, unchanging in his lecherous ways, fixed his eyes on the prostrate Huang Que, her weeping pear-blossom-like tears and disheveled hair only made her palm-sized petite face all the more appealing. Tang Yu, feeling an insatiable itch in his heart, smiled wickedly and reached out his hand to touch Huang Que’s face, "Little beauty, why are you crying? Didn’t you just say you are a military dependent of the Yun Family Army? Well then, good news for you. Do you know who I am? I am Tang Yu, the young master of Yun Residence. Your comforting daddy is subordinated to my grandfather and uncle, you should properly serve this young master." The words of Tang Yu made Huang Que even more humiliated and angered; she hadn’t expected the person responsible for her recent miserable plight to be the young master of the Martial Saint General Mansion. The spectators in the restaurant shook their heads incessantly; the family of the Martial Saint General was unfortunate, as this third generation not only lacked successors but the sole grandchild, Tang Yu, turned out to be such a scoundrel. The reputation of the Martial Saint General Mansion was completely lost by him! "Tang Yu! What a Tang Yu, a fine son raised by Yun Cangxue!" Yun Canglang was also extremely furious; had he been able to move his hand, given his former temper, regardless of whether Tang Yu was his nephew or not, a slap would have certainly lamented his demise. "How dare you, who are you to insult my mother..." Tang Yu slurring, glanced at Yun Canglang. That glance, and he finally recognized the person; Tang Yu’s legs trembled, almost causing him to fall to the ground in fright. Stuttering, he uttered, "Un... Uncle." Uncle! This earth-shattering address stopped Huang Que’er from crying, and all the spectators watching the drama were also utterly astonished. Tang Yu’s second uncle, that is Yun Canglang from the Martial Saint General Mansion, isn’t it? "Young General Yun, are you the Young General Yun that father often mentions?" Huang Que, like seeing a lifeline, knelt down in front of Yun Canglang. "Good child, get up, your father is my camp’s comforter, I did not recognize you just now. But as a member of the military family, the Yun Family Army has been receiving a salary from the Yun Residence, why have you fallen to such a state where you have to go out and sing for a living?" Upon hearing Yun Canglang start to inquire about the Yun Family Army, Tang Yu, who was standing beside him, couldn’t help but show a trace of panic. Yun Sheng noticed this; it seems that something must have happened to the Yun Family Army during the time Yun Canglang was ill. "General Yun, you are unaware that the Yun Family Army has not paid out military salaries for several years now. My father was able to withdraw some salary from the Yun Family Army in the first few years after returning from the battlefield, but three years ago, the Yun Residence stopped everyone’s salary. There were also a few brave soldiers who went to the Yun Residence to demand their salaries, but they were all driven out by the guards of the Yun Residence," Huang Que only revealed the grievances suffered by the Yun Family Army over the years upon seeing Yun Canglang. There are still quite a few military families of the Yun Family Army with similar experiences. These people, as they are private soldiers of the Yun Residence, refused to take up other jobs after leaving the national army. The father of Huang Que’er was very unfortunate; he was injured on the battlefield and has lived in difficulty for years, muddling through life. Huang Que’er also heard that singing in the city’s taverns could make money, so she came here to sing, only to be harassed by Tang Yu and others on her very first day. Seeing this, Tang Yu sneakily thought of slipping away, but Yun Sheng, who had always been silent, scoffed, "Mr. Tang, where are you going? Are you going to go home and tell your mother?" Tang Yu was so angry he nearly couldn’t catch his breath, but Yun Canglang just furrowed his brows deeply, "Tang Yu, come here!" Yun Cangxue was cultivating her own power within the mansion, and Yun Canglang was not completely unaware, but due to his severe illness, the mansion was solely managed by his younger sister and he felt guilty, so he never pursued the matter. But today’s incident had touched his bottom line. Above and below the Yun Family Army, more than a thousand people, all were his close brothers who had followed him through life and death. Yun Cangxue could move against anyone, but the Yun Family Army was off-limits. Tang Yu was still very afraid of this second uncle, and his group of dissolute friends had already dispersed. There were guards present in the Yun Residence, but who would dare to make a move in front of Yun Canglang. Seeing no way to escape, Tang Yu could only walk over timidly. "Kneel down, and apologize to Miss Huang Que," Yun Canglang said painfully and indignantly. Just today, by chance, he encountered Huang Que’s issue, who knows how many innocent civilians and girls Tang Yu had wronged regularly. His father also had no time to take care of the affairs at home these years, which contributed to Tang Yu’s spoilt character. Hearing this, Huang Que was startled and quickly shook her hands and head: "General Yun, Huang Que cannot bear this, I only ask that Mr. Tang not bully other civilian girls in the future." "Exactly, uncle, her father is just one of your subordinates, where does she get the right to make me kneel and apologize," Tang Yu not only showed no remorse, but also continued his arrogant demeanor. Seeing this, Yun Canglang’s expression darkened, "Tang Yu, come here." Tang Yu walked over, oblivious, and just as he approached, he suddenly felt a severe pain in his knees, as if they were broken, and with a thud, he knelt on the ground, it was Yun Canglang who had suddenly kicked him. Though he lost his fighting spirit, his combat skills remained, and this kick carried the force of wind and thunder, directly shattering Tang Yu’s knees with a clearly audible cracking of the bones. **User, Destined Hit, Sky Blue, Xu Xu, Chu Ya’s rewards, it’s been over a month since I’ve been on the shelf, luckily there are still people reading, if there are people reading, I will persist!**
