21 Returning Victorious (2/2)
The group came to a halt as they arrived at a crossroad.
There were Jun and Tang residences to the east, and the Dugu family residence to the west.
Suddenly, Dugu Xiao Yi felt a mysterious feeling rising in her heart as she realized that it was time to separate. She looked at Jun Xie and saw his crooked smile. [This bastard Jun Mo Xie is an infamous debauchee. I’ve always repelled him, and have beaten him up on a few occasions. But, he seems to be a very interesting person today.]
She shouted out, ”Jun Mo Xie, will you be coming to my grandfather’s birthday celebration?”
Jun Xie seemed shocked, ”I’ll come if my family members don’t have any problem with it.”
Dugu Xiao Yi bit her lip and asked, ”What if your family members don’t want you to come?”
”Then, I’ll not go.” Jun Xie was confused. [Why would I go if my family members forbid me? So that I can get a bashing…?]
”Bastard!” Dugu Xiao Yi cursed in an angry manner as she heard his reply. She then rushed towards him and started to kick him. ”Don’t dare to make this mistake. Otherwise, I’ll thrash you every single time I see you.”
Jun Xie realized that he was stuck in a big problem. The ace assassin of the world had to undergo this torture by a little girl. [When will this body transform enough to meet my expectations…?] He covered his face with both his hands and shouted, ”I’ll come… I’ll come…”
”That’s like a good boy. At least you’re smart. Take out some time to prepare a good present for my grandfather. The worth of the present mustn’t be less than what you’ve won today.” She moved her vision from him… and to the huge package that was being carried by the bodyguard. She then turned away while rubbing her wrist. After that, she held her hands behind her back, lifted her chin, and walked down the road like a proud deer.
It was evident that Dugu Xiao Yi wanted the treasures won by Jun Xie. But, her attitude towards Jun Mo Xie had changed. However, she still considered him to be a debauchee.
Jun Xie looked at the departing figure of Dugu Xiao Yi. He then turned towards Tang Yuan and said with a smile, ”Young Master Tang is very talented… hehehe… You even lost your fiancée in the bet. I can’t help but admire you.”
Tang Yuan became furious; his face turned red.
Jun Xie’s body turned cold as he saw Tang Yuan’s reaction. ”Tang Yuan, it’s not a joke. You almost got me killed this time. Do you even understand how strange today’s incidents were?”
”What?! I almost got you killed?” Tang Yuan was shocked. He could never imagine that he would hear such words from Jun Mo Xie’s mouth.
”Do you really think that you lost everything because of your bad luck? Are you really that stupid? You lost all your money, your sword, and your accompaniment jade. You even pawned off your fiancée. Just think about it. Are you really that kind of an idiot? How could you not think about the consequences of this entire matter? You knew that your actions could put the reputations of two respected families in jeopardy…! How could you not even consider that? Don’t you think that something isn’t right?”
