C35 (2/2)

After a day of this competition, corpses were constantly being carried out of the arena. In the evening, the first wife, feeling tired, stood up and signaled for the others to end the competition. She then left.

Everyone dispersed. Wan Quan hurried over with a portion of Golden Scale Guards and asked, ”Master Hou, are you alright?”

Only now did Jun Linyue feel a sense of absent-mindedness. The bones in his entire body began to crack, and both of his legs went limp, falling to the ground. Wan Quan was shocked and shouted, ”Quick! Fast! Quick, help the marquis go to the sleeping quarters! ”

Just as Jun Lin Xiao was about to step forward, someone beside him whispered something to him. He couldn't help but clench his fist and say to himself, ”I'm sorry, brother.”

After speaking, he left with that person.

When Jun Juanxuan heard that Jun Lanyue was severely injured, he went to the Hidden Dragon Hall at night.

In the middle of the night, Jun Lin Yue was sitting by the window, reading a book by candlelight. Hearing that there was someone outside, he did not say anything and continued pretending to read. That person's movements were not light nor nimble. His mystical Qi floated in the air. Originally, he could not have revealed any traces of it, but he had deliberately exposed such a flaw.

Jun Lanyue was somewhat puzzled by this. Suddenly, he thought back to the strange words that had been spoken during the day. Yet Jun Lianxuan had purposely revealed an opening, which meant that he was definitely trying to test Jun Linyue's strength.

In the past few days, Jun Lin Yue had been competing against his first wife, causing his shrewdness to deepen by leaps and bounds. And he cried out, ”Impudent! Stealthily sneaking into this marquis' chamber late at night, are you tired of living? ”

Jun Hanxuan smiled and walked out of the darkness. He said, ”Little Wu, I haven't seen you in a while. Your mystical arts have improved a lot.”

Upon hearing this, Jun Lanyue hurriedly stood up and apologized.

”So it's Big Uncle. Little Wu's line of work isn't deep, so he didn't notice that Big Uncle had come. Please forgive my earlier offense.”

Jun Juanxuan extended a hand to stop her, ”Hey — you don't have to be courteous to me. I just came to see how your injuries were. It's said that during the day, you felt that you were not up to the Human Emperor's standards and wanted to commit suicide. Was it true that your third brother, fourth brother, had saved you? ”

”The more Jun Lin Yue heard about this, the more he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Uncle, why do you believe this? The Human Emperor's arrangement, how could it be that he didn't want to go? I have to go and clear out the Netherworld Sect. ”

The Monarch asked thoughtfully: ”Then how were you injured during the day?”

Jun Lanyue got up, pulled out a chair, and poured a cup of tea. ”Uncle, take a seat,” he said. You don't know that the one who gave the decree in the day was my third brother, Jun LengShao. He served in the Great Yang all year round, arrogant and domineering, never taking me seriously. This time, you must have heard the First Wife speak ill of me. That's why you injured me the instant I accepted the decree that I can't raise my head. Luckily, I was prepared.

Monarch Sanctuary nodded: ”This Madam is indeed arrogant. I have some arrangements for the next couple of days, so you can follow Jun Linger Shao to the border. There won't be any major problems with the Black Tortoise dukedom. ”When you come back, you will still be a stable Black Tortoise.”

Jun Lin Yue replied gratefully, ”I'll have to let uncle worry about that.”
