457 Dropping-in to Murder (1/2)
Jun Zhan Tian was very excited after having made his breakthrough. So, he kept talking for a long time before he discovered that his grandson was holding his nose. The youngster wasn't able to talk, and looked sullen as well. He then looked at the way his grandson was looking at him, and he couldn't help becoming a bit suspicious. [Is something wrong with my body? How can you treat your grandfather that way?]
He then subconsciously looked himself. And, he found that something was indeed wrong — there was something on his body. He was covered in stains. His loose robes were sticking to his body for some reason. And, his normally white gown was covered in thick layers of stain. However, the old man didn't bother to inspect the color of the stains. However, he had suddenly started to feel wrinkly and uneasy over his entire body.
The old man came from a background of generals. So, he hadn't cared about such things in the past. But, he was a duke nowadays, and had been living like a prince for many years. Moreover, he had raised his standards, and had also developed an obsession with cleanliness. And, he paid careful attention to these aspects in front of the younger generation in particular. Therefore, he cried out in fear when he became aware of this shameful incident. He then disappeared into the shadows with a 'whooshing' sound. However, he left these words behind, ”This old man is going to bathe. I'll return in a moment.”
Jun Mo Xie laughed involuntarily.
This was normal. After all, his grandfather had broken through a tough barrier a moment ago. Moreover, he had covered several levels, and had increased his strength by a lot. He had taken assistance from a Great Master and a very power external item. This had cleansed him very thoroughly. And, the impurity that had accumulated inside his body over the past decades had come out as a result. Moreover, the injuries he had sustained since his youth had been cleared away along with any other dormant illnesses. In fact, the Young Master would've doubted that something may have gone wrong with his grandfather's breakthrough if this filth hadn't been ejected from his body.
Jun Mo Xie was certain that Jun Zhan Tian could easily live up to two-hundred years or more now. In fact, there wasn't any doubt about it. Moreover, his ability to defend himself had also increased by a great margin. In fact, he could even contend against a Great Master if he were to couple his current strength with the marvelous martial arts that Jun Mo Xie knew.
Therefore, Jun Mo Xie finally laid his worries to rest…
Then, the Young Master suddenly exposed a heartfelt smile. He was felt very gratified and happy at this moment.
After all, this was a world where the clenched fist was the greatest argument. So, this was the only way to ensure the safety of his family here.
What did people live their lives for?
It could be said that people didn't care for their own fate. Instead, it could be said that people lived for the sake of others — for the people they cared about… for those who cared for them… for their close and loved ones!
He had been alone in his past life. But, it would make for a perfunctory statement if one were to say that he had lived only for himself. And, that's because he also wanted to live for someone else. But, no one like that had existed in his life. So, he had lived-on by relying on the belief he held in his heart. [Who could be worthy of receiving my affections? Who can be worth it?]
He had robbed the rich to help the poor. He had reprimand debauchery. However, he had lived for his country, and he had lived for his people. In other words, he had done everything he could to hold up the belief he had held in his heart. He had been an assassin his previous life, but he had still fought for justice. However, he had done that for the sake of the justice his heart had believed in.
He had killed and bullied without bothering about it. But, that belief in his heart had remained unwavering.
The man had walked on the most unjust roads of the world, but he had always done so to take care of the injustice in the world.
However, he had continually walked away from the so-called 'path of righteousness' by doing so.
Jun Mo Xie… Jun Xie had been very lonely. An average person couldn't understand that kind of helplessness.
However, he unexpectedly had a family in this life. Moreover, Jun Mo Xie had accepted his new identity, and had also accepted this new family.
Jun Zhan Tian had plunged the Capital in a bloodbath for him. And, Jun Mo Xie was enshrouded by a feeling of deep affection for his family when that had happened.
Therefore, Jun Xie… Jun Mo Xie didn't feel lonely anymore. And, that's because his heart finally had something to depend on!
There were people in this family who cared for Jun Mo Xie's fate. And, this was something he could live for!
In fact, Jun Mo Xie would use every means, and would go to any extent to ensure a healthy, happy, and long life for his family members. And, he would never allow anyone to destroy such a beautiful feeling!
That 'rootless' man had finally obtained the love and affection of a family! And, no one could imagine how much he could care for them in return… In fact, he could even set himself against the entire world to protect them from harm!
And, that's because he didn't wish to feel that 'rootlessness' again…
After all, it was too bitter!
Bitterness could make one lose interest in life. However, knowing that someone is concerned for oneself is an extremely warm feeling. In fact, this feeling of warmth is something one would spare nothing to protect. He would employ his very heart and soul, and would do everything he needed in order to protect it.
From healing Jun Wu Yi's legs to raising Heaven Destroyers and Spirit Devourers… from advancing Jun Zhan Tian to changing Guan Qing Han — Jun Mo Xie had taken these steps for his family's sake.
And, he would continue to do it…
Until this family's disgrace had been wiped out. Until it would stand on top of the world! Until no one in the world would have the courage to look upon it!
All living beings would look up to the Jun Family with hope as it would look down on the world.
That was Jun Mo Xie's ultimate goal!
