28 Aren’t You Useless?! (1/2)

Jun Xie and Jun Wu Yi soon arrived at the training ground. Jun Wu Yi coughed and ordered in a loud voice, ”All the military units assemble and line-up before me!”

Ju Wu Yi had issued a military order after a span of ten years. However, a killing aura and a commendable force had been displayed from his voice and tone. It seemed as if Jun Wu Yi had regained his earlier temperament of a great general. He looked as if he had regained his old persona of a man who held the lives of several people in his hands.

The guards felt a sense of extreme fear as they heard the order. They knew that they’d lose their heads if they didn’t follow Jun Wu Yi’s order.

Around three-hundred guards had assembled in front of Jun Wu Yi and Jun Xie in a flash.

Jun Wu Yi nodded with satisfaction as he saw their hard and sweaty faces. He then pointed at Jun Xie and said, ”Third Young Master Jun will be responsible for your training from this moment onwards. You must follow all his orders; no matter what they are. Is this clear?”

The guards started to talk among themselves loudly as they heard this. However, none of them answered.

Jun Wu Yi had an angry expression on his face. He looked at Jun Xie, but didn’t say anything. According to his own words, Jun Mo Xie was now the highest ranking officer in the ground. He had assumed that position the moment Jun Wu Yi had uttered those words. In fact, Jun Mo Xie was responsible for what the guards did from now onwards.

Jun Wu Yi wasn’t even supposed to interfere in Jun Mo Xie’s ways of training the guards. Jun Wu Yi would assume that Jun Mo Xie was just boasting if he wasn’t successful in passing this test. Then, Jun Wu Yi would give up all the hopes that he had in Jun Mo Xie.

Jun Xie laughed secretly. He then stepped forward and said, ”Third Uncle and I were observing your training a while back. Third Uncle had asked my views about your training. He had asked whether I considered you people at par with the elites… hehehe…”

Jun Xie was speaking in an extremely soft voice. However, he had been successful in gaining the attention of all the guards. They were staring at Jun Xie with glazing eyes. What would they possibly be thinking about such a useless person?

Jun Xie continued to speak, ”I told him that all of you are a bunch of useless people… that you people are here only to eat and waste food… and are just waiting for the death’s call. I also told him that all of you would certainly die if a war was to break out… and you people were sent to take part in it. I’m quite sure that I’ve spoken only the truth.”

The guards started at Jun Xie with anger in their eyes. Their faces turned red. They inhaled deep breaths. They had been put through an ultimate humiliation.

One of them stepped forward. His face was red with anger. He said, ”Third Young Master, what do you mean by that? All of us may be the house guards of the Jun family… but each one of us has survived over a hundred wars. You’re our Master. But still, you’ve no right to insult us in this manner.”

Jun Xie waved his index finger in front of him and said, ”I insulted you?! No… no… If anyone’s insulting you… that’s you yourself… I don’t need to insult you any further. Are you feeling angry at me? Do you want to beat me up? Very well then… I’ll allow you to beat me up if you can counter my arguments. This is my first order to you. Third Uncle will not interfere in this matter.”

The guards started to discuss among themselves once more.

Jun Xie added in a calm manner, ”You all claim to have survived a hundred battles. Fine then… answer this question of mine – Do you all agree that there are people who had joined the military with you… and had now been promoted to become generals, sergeants etc… the people who are no longer considered to be regular military soldiers?”
