Yang Tiansheng thought for a moment, his face showing trouble as he nodded, "Alright, I will go back and have a talk with the leaders of the various halls and branches, but I can’t guarantee that they will give me this face. The Ming Sect’s business has spread too wide, and me being called the ’Junior Sect Hierarch’ is in name only..."
Yang Ge patted his shoulder, "It’s still the same statement, as long as we make an effort, even if the result still goes against our wishes, we can face it with a clear conscience, with no regrets or complaints!"
After some thought, he continued, "So, I’ll act as a mediator for you all. When you go back, use my name to invite the leaders of the three teachings to find a time to sit down and have a couple of words... I’ll set the place when the time comes, and I’ll be responsible for everyone’s safety. If anyone dares to stir up trouble, I’ll take it as a challenge to me, Yang Erlang!"
Yang Tiansheng glanced at him, frowning, "You with your clean reputation, why wade into these muddy waters? Just let them sort it out themselves. If one dies, one less, if they all die out, Jianghu will be at peace!"
Yang Ge replied, "I don’t want to deal with all these troublesome matters either, but since I’ve persuaded you to clean up the mess, it wouldn’t make sense for me to just stand aside with my arms folded and watch the show. That would be morally kidnapping, wouldn’t it?"
Yang Tiansheng said, with indifference, "Between you and me, do we still care about that?"
Yang Ge shook his head still, "That’s one way to put it, but one cannot be a friend and act that way... And you guys fighting endlessly like this really isn’t right; it’s draining the vitality of the entire Wei, so many fine lives, shouldn’t be wasted on such meaningless strife."
Yang Tiansheng looked at him, pursed his lips and said, "Since you have no desire to rule the world, don’t keep taking the world’s troubles upon your shoulders, you will live very tiredly."
Yang Ge smiled, "Yeah, I’ll listen to you..."
Yang Tiansheng turned his head to look at Zhao Miao, who was carrying an iron kettle going from table to table, refilling water for the salted fish playing mahjong, and whispered, "That girl, she looks quite good. Though she’s from the Zhao Family, she doesn’t carry the Zhao Family’s annoying airs and bad habits; her heart is also clean. If you’re keen on her, then marry her, and never mind her father. However long her father’s hands are, they can’t reach our brotherhood!"
Yang Ge glanced in the direction he mentioned, hesitating, "Miaomiao is truly a good person, but this matter isn’t simple. Something in my heart feels off, and if we really become family, there will definitely be endless troubles afterward... Let’s just leave it as is. I think my life now is quite good; I don’t want to change it for the time being."
"That’s not like you, Yang Ge!"
Yang Tiansheng laughed, "I’ve known you for so long, and I’ve never seen you hesitate over decisions, afraid of the wolf in front and the tiger behind."
Yang Ge argued, "This is a different matter..."
Yang Tiansheng: "How is it different? You haven’t married the girl right now, but haven’t you been minding the Zhao Family’s business anyway?"
Yang Ge: "But I can choose not to mind it now!"
Yang Tiansheng: "If you married her, could you still choose not to care?"
Yang Ge: "Could you neglect your father-in-law’s affairs?"
Yang Tiansheng: "That’s different, my father-in-law’s family doesn’t have a throne to inherit, and moreover, my father-in-law only has my wife as his daughter..."
Yang Ge: "Isn’t it the same principle?"
Yang Tiansheng fell silent, pondering for a long while before letting out a light sigh, "Haven’t you realized it yourself? You’re already considering this matter. In the past, no matter which girl’s family it was, as soon as they came up, you refused outright, never even considering this possibility."
Yang Ge responded with silence.
Yang Tiansheng glancing at him, continued, "Erlang, flowers can bloom again, but people cannot relive their youth. That girl can’t wait for you indefinitely without any commitment. In other words... if one day she can’t wait anymore and wants to marry someone else, can you bear it?"
Yang Ge subconsciously looked back at Zhao Miao.
Feeling his gaze, Zhao Miao returned a big, bright smile.
Yang Ge quickly looked away, murmuring, "Let’s talk about the future when it comes!"
Yang Tiansheng laughed and gave him a hearty pat on the shoulder, "You’re such a worrier, why think so much about what might or might not happen? You yourself said her father, though stingy and indecisive, does have the ability and will to take care of things. If he can manage the family well, what’s the harm in giving our brother a helping hand? Besides, if that day really comes, I’ll be the bad guy, there’s no need for you to carry the blame!"
"Bullshit!"

Yang Ge mockingly said, "You’d better worry about your own affairs first. You’ve been married for half a year, right? How come there’s no news? I’m wifeless, but you with a wife and still no news... You’re not infertile, are you? Should I ask someone to summon an Imperial Physician for a check-up?"
Yang Tiansheng replied with rolling eyes, "A curse from a crow’s mouth, can’t you wish this young master something good?"
He picked up the tea bowl at hand, drank it in one gulp, then stood up and said, "Let’s go, come stay at my place for a few days when you have time. My parents have mentioned you several times."
Yang Ge shook his head like a rattle-drum, "With my little sister not yet married, I dare not visit again."
Yang Tiansheng: "I bet you wish... Let’s go."
With a carefree wave of his hand, he took a stride out of the inn, where Wei Xin and others, who had been waiting for a long time, brought over his Red Charcoal Fire Dragon Colt, handing the reins over to him.
Yang Ge stood up, waving him off, "Take extra care, don’t be too forthright when you meet a conflict, if anything happens send a letter, and bring your wife to stay at Lu Ting for a few days when you’re free."
Without turning back, Yang Tiansheng waved his hand, "You just enjoy your life..."
Yang Ge watched him lead the horse gradually away, vanish into the sea of people coming and going.
