Distant Mountain Battle Song

Chapter 325 The Strong Are Not Necessarily Happy

Going home is an obsession for Yun Ce.

As the imprisoned master said, those who become grandmasters are basically no longer human, because they have transcended the realm of humanity.

Those who climb high enough that others can't keep up gradually become ants; those who walk fast enough that others can't keep up become distant horizons.

This is a physical concept, not a moral concept as people often understand it.

Friends, relatives, and lovers are people you lose along the way.

If you can still see it when you turn around, then it can't be considered lost.

However, when you walk too fast and can't even see them when you look back, disappearance becomes inevitable, just like the departed grandparents and the vanished childhood. You may have memories of them, but they are simply gone.

Yun Ce is different from the Han people and the Gui Fang people. His mindset for becoming a Grandmaster is also different from others. Just like Master Mingyue, he really comprehended the three moons here and used the changes and conservation of the moons to create his own world of thought. In the end, after his abilities matched, he was lifted up by these advanced thoughts and surpassed countless warriors, eventually becoming a Grandmaster.

Both are forms of cognition, but Yun Ce's cognition is the difference between the Great Han world and the ancestral land. A slight comparison between the two reveals some subtle differences that are quite dazzling, and when expanded upon, they bring Yun Ce a different feeling.

The greater the changes between the two, the more Yun Ce missed his ancestral homeland.

So everyone else turned around and tried to move forward, just like He Junnian. As he walked, he became a great avalanche. As he walked, he transformed from a Han Chinese into a Guifang person. As he walked, he became indifferent to the tragic death of his son and the destruction of his family.

Yun Ce walked backwards, his steps very awkward. Seeing that E Ji and the others hadn't followed, he even walked forward to greet them. For him, whether he walked forward or backward, it was all progress.

He saw himself as a leaf growing at the very top of a tree, which, when the autumn winds came, would fall from its height and return to the roots of the tree.

Having been away for two months, Yun Ce walked into the fields on his way home, seeing the crops covering the mountains and plains. The crops were growing very well this year, even the most difficult-to-cultivate baby beans were hanging densely on the branches, although they were all green now. Once they had absorbed enough nutrients from the earth and stored enough oil, they would turn jade white. At that time, a bite would be full of oil.

Eji, leading Yun Shuo, stood at the edge of the ground to greet him, while Zhang Min stood behind Eji, holding Yun Tui's hand.

The black-haired eagle had already discovered the news of Yun Ce's return, and the chestnut horse had also caught a whiff of Yun Ce's unique scent in the wind.

Yun Ce walked out of the baby bean field and came to E Ji's side, saying, "Well, let's go home."

Eji picked up the chubby Yun Shuo and placed him in his arms. At the same time, Zhang Min also placed the equally chubby Yun Tui in Yun Ce's arms. The two fat children looked blankly at the strange man in front of them, and turned their chubby faces to look at their mothers at the same time.

Eji said, "It's been so long, the child might not remember you. Just hold him more often."

Yun Ce frowned and threw the two children in his arms out. The two chubby children tumbled several times in the air before landing steadily on all fours.

Seeing this, Yun Ce smiled silently, reached out, and the two children were back in his hands. This time he threw them higher and farther, making it even more difficult for the children to maintain their balance in the air.

After the two children landed steadily on all fours once again, Yun Ce said to E Ji, "Is this the effect of the High Priest's blessing?"

Eji and Zhang Min didn't have time to answer Yun Ce's question; they were busy holding the two terrified and loudly crying chubby children in their arms and gently comforting them.

Yun Ce lowered his body, his eyes focused with divine light as he looked at his two sons. As if sensing something, the two children immediately stopped crying and turned to look at Yun Ce, their big eyes full of vigilance.

"Very good. Being able to sense approaching danger is a good skill."

Eji said with some grievance, "How can you be such a father?"

Yun Ce looked sad and said after a while, "It's better than when my father fed me strong liquor when I was two years old. You should thank my mother for inducing vomiting back then, since you didn't end up with a mentally challenged husband."

Eji paused for a moment and said, "Back then, my parents-in-law..."

Yun Ce angrily said, "Your father-in-law thinks he is the king of beasts and believes that the children of the king of beasts are not so easy to die, so he learns the way the king of beasts raises his children, and he eats whatever he eats, so he gives me the same food."

After I grew up, I decided that when I grew up and he grew old, I would force him to drink as much alcohol as possible and let him die from it.

Sadly, he died before I grew up. A man who called himself the king of beasts died in a battle no one considered a threat. Such a powerful man was killed by a shard of debris severing his femoral artery.

Zhang Min, holding Yun Tui, looked at Yun Ce cautiously and asked, "Husband, you are far more powerful than the King of Beasts. How do you plan to teach these two children? Will they also learn to be like wild beasts?" Yun Ce chuckled and said, "I am now a Grandmaster."

Upon hearing that Yun Ce had now reached the Grandmaster realm, neither E Ji nor Zhang Min wore pleasant expressions.

Yun Ce knew what the two of them were worried about, so he said directly, "Apart from my martial arts skills improving, I haven't changed."

Eji patted her now very well-developed chest and said, "Fortunately, my husband crippled that dragon arm back then."

Yun Ce casually tucked his two chubby sons under his arms, pretending not to see their mother's unpleasant expression, and proudly said, "This time, I almost died at the hands of a green dragon."

Eji glanced at Yun Shuo, who was struggling under her father's arm, and forced a smile as she complimented him, "My husband is truly blessed to have escaped from the claws of a dragon."

Yun Ce tossed the cloud spear he had been carrying under his arm to his other arm, freeing one hand to slap E Ji's ample buttocks and said, "Yes, that's the taste. You should praise me more often in the future."

You wouldn't believe it, at my worst, I was trapped in a bat cave. The stench inside was unimaginable.

Zhang Min wanted to rescue her son, who was lying on the bottom, from Yun Ce's arms, but unfortunately, while the arm felt soft to the touch, it was as hard as cast steel when she tried to move it.

It's clear that Yun Ce doesn't want to miss out on his time with his family.

When a man is alone with his son, it is difficult for him to treat his son gently. Even if the relationship seems like a loving father and a filial son at first, it will not be long before the mask of love and filial piety is completely torn off.

Her two children were already old enough to call her "Dad," but neither Eji nor Zhang Min urged them to call her "Dad."

This already speaks volumes. Before coming here, Eji and Zhang Min must have properly taught their sons. Unfortunately, these two little brats not only refused to call him "Dad," but also said some unpleasant things. This made Eji and Zhang Min give up and stop letting the two children call him "Dad," for fear of causing bad consequences.

This is definitely not acceptable. Yun Ce felt that he was a very qualified father. For the sake of these two brats, he not only lured the enemy away but also took the initiative to fight against the terrifying avalanche.

Not to mention, from the moment these two little rascals were born, he truly cherished them like the apples of his eye.

Now that they've reached the point of reaping happiness, how could they not call him "Dad" a couple of times?
Eji and Zhang Min followed behind Yun Ce, watching him sometimes tuck his son under his arm, sometimes toss the two children onto his shoulders, and even allow the children to ride on his neck. Even when his hair was pulled, his eyes gouged, or his ears were scratched, he didn't get angry. At most, he would toss the two children into the air with a 'whoosh,' and then catch them when they fell down, flailing their arms and legs.

When he used a crossover dribble to throw Yun Shuo into the air and pretended to shoot, Yun Shuo, who was flying in the air, actually giggled. At the same time, Yun Tui, who was riding on his neck, grabbed his hair and wanted Yun Ce to treat him the same way.

So, after capturing Yun Shuo, Yun Ce leaped into the air, holding one child in each hand, and threw both children simultaneously between his legs...

Yun Shuo and Yun Tui were two very clever children. They discovered that although the man treated them very roughly, his dangerous actions did not harm them at all.

This was an experience he had never had with his mother or anyone around him. So, in order to continue to experience this unprecedented thrill, Yun Tui first called Yun Ce "Dad".

Upon hearing the child call him "Dad," Yun Ce naturally rewarded him. He jumped high, grabbed Yun Tui, and then spiraled down, giving the child a new experience of danger.

Seeing that Yun Tui had received a reward for calling Yun Ce "father," Yun Shuo, who had been placed on the ground by Yun Ce, immediately opened his arms, hugged Yun Ce's legs, and sweetly called him "father."

So Yun Ce picked up the Cloud Spear again and performed the Divine Dragon Flight once more.

After that, the communication between father and sons became much smoother, and the two children no longer had difficulty calling him "Dad," but became very smooth. So, Yun Ce handed the two naughty children over to their mother to hold.

Having achieved my goal, all I want to do now is go home as soon as possible, take a shower, and get a good night's sleep.

When it comes to sleeping, Yun Ce can sleep very soundly outside, but the absolute sense of security he feels when he sleeps at home is something he can't get outside.

In two months, Lei Ming grew more than two inches taller. The childlike innocence on his face had completely disappeared, replaced by a dashing and spirited look that belonged to a young man.

Once again refusing Yun Shuo's request to perform the Divine Dragon Flight again, Yun Ce reached out and placed his hand on Huo Wudi's palm, which had grown a full head taller. With a muffled 'bang', Huo Wudi flew a long way. However, after she absorbed Yun Ce's terrifying force, she touched the ground with her toes and flew back again.

Yun Ce turned to Lei Ming and asked, "Are Cao Kun's guards still alive?"
