Chapter 49 (1/2)

A while later, Jun Linglong and Jun Zhangjian returned to Jun Xiaoyao.

“Young master, I got the Tranquil Spirit Tea.” Jun Linglong wore a smile on her slightly paled face.

“Alright, got it…” As soon as Jun Xiaoyao nodded his head, he noticed something unusual about how Jun Linglong and Jun Zhangjian appeared.

With a slight frown, he stood up and walked to Jun Linglong.

“Young master?” Jun Linglong’s expression froze. She felt a little uneasy.

Jun Xiaoyao raised his hand and gently wiped off the tiny bit of blood on the corner of Jun Linglong’s lips.

Such an intimate move made Jun Linglong blush out of surprise.

Jun Xiaoyao faintly asked, “What happened?”

It wasn’t that he liked Jun Linglong, but she was at least someone who stayed by his side.

Attacking her would mean a provocation against him.

“My apologies, Divine Child, but I couldn’t hold off Jun Wanjie,” Jun Zhangjian apologized.

“Explain,” said Jun Xiaoyao.

Subsequently, Jun Zhangjian told Jun Xiaoyao everything that happened.

“You’re still thinking about buying tea for me even after you’re hurt? Are you stupid?” Jun Xiaoyao said while shaking his head meagerly.

“I had to purchase the tea that you wanted, young master.”

Hearing a hint of pampering in Jun Xiaoyao’s words, Jun Linglong’s heart was as sweet as honey.

“Let’s go,” Jun Xiaoyao pushed back his sleeves and said with his hands behind his back.

“Where are we going?” Jun Zhangjian said subconsciously.

“To Jun Wanjie of course,” Jun Xiaoyao said with a smile.

That smile, however, was wreathed in coldness.

Is revenge a dish truly best served cold?

The interests of the whole Jun Family must be placed above everything else? Not for him!

Revenge wasn’t something that could be served overnight.

Since Jun Wanjie took the initiative to provoke him, Jun Xiaoyao didn’t have to let him down gently either.

On the other side, where Jun Wanjie was…

Hei Tu said with a hint of unwillingness on his expression, “My lord, since you are so powerful, why not you go straight to Jun Xiaoyao and suppress him?”

Seeing Jun Wanjie’s domineering actions earlier on, the adoration Hei Tu had for him was at its highest.

At the same time, he also believed that Jun Wanjie could definitely defeat Jun Xiaoyao.

Jun Wanjie shook his head gently and said, “First of all, Jun Xiaoyao has the Sacred Body of the Ancient and the Bones of Supremacy. That means he’s no weakling.”

“If I wasn’t above him in both age and cultivation stage, it is true that I might not be able to defeat him.”

“Secondly, the Supreme Treasure of Yuantian is going to appear soon. Fighting Jun Xiaoyao would affect my status, thus giving the clan elders a reason to condemn me.”

Jun Wanjie had risen all the way from the bottom of the collateral system. He was in no way stupid.

On the contrary, he was very shrewd.

Earlier on, he attacked Jun Zhangjian and Jun Linglong to quell them. His true intention was to tune down Jun Xiaoyao’s arrogance a bit.

One could definitely say that he did it just enough to do so.

This way, he could achieve what he wanted. He would neither be blamed by the clan elders nor affect his participation in the contest for the supreme treasure.

“Your strategies are wise, my lord. I would’ve never thought of these at all.” Hei Tu couldn’t help but admire him even more.

“I can guarantee that Jun Xiaoyao will endure it for the time being. He wouldn’t dare to attack me, at least until the affair with the supreme treasure is over.

A sneer appeared in the corner of Jun Wanjie’s mouth.

However, as soon as his voice fell, a sudden shockwave rippled over outside the attic where he was.

“What’s going on?”

While Jun Wanjie was left stunned, a seal fell from the sky like a meteor.

“It’s the Seal of the Emperor!”

Jun Wanjie’s expression abruptly changed as he quickly fled.

Hei Tu’s face also turned pale as he morphed into a cloud of black vapor and escaped.

Boom!

The world was swinging!

The attic where Jun Wanjie lived was instantly reduced to ashes. A massive pit appeared where it once stood with large cracks propagating outwards.

Such a movement attracted the attention of countless people nearby.

“What happened? Is there an attack?”

“I think something happened at the attic of the Jun Family’s Sequence Five. Oh gosh, did somebody raze Jun Wanjie’s dwelling?!”

All of Nantian City grew more intense!
