82 Just Do It?! (2/2)
Jun Mo Xie sneered but chose not to utter a word.
Jun Zhan Tian gave a bitter smile and shook his head, ”However, a wolf is still a wolf. It can never transform into a tiger nor a dragon! Even if it becomes the leader of the pack, it will still function in the way of the wolves! Unfortunately, His Majesty does not have any other suitable candidates. Hence he could only force them and pressurize them but at the same time, deter, tame and groom them!”
”The cunning old foxes from each of the great families have probably noticed this situation. For the sake of their family, they will not participate in the political struggle between the Princes. However, each family will still have some individuals who will get close to the Princes. These people help to balance the power behind the scenes!”
”Currently, the only ones without any involvement with the three Princes are the Jun Family, Dugu Family, and the Li Family.”
Jun Zhan Tian’s words seemed inexplicably unrelated to what Jun Mo Xie had said earlier. He seemed to be talking to himself and yet seemingly directing his words at Jun Mo Xie. Finally, he concluded. ”Hence, as long as you understand what you are doing and do not go too far, I will support you. Just go ahead and do what you must.”
After speaking, Jun Zhan Tian stood up with a somewhat lethargic look. ”I am already old. I can only watch you from afar. Your Third Uncle’s body is also crippled. Jun Family will all depend on your actions. No matter what happens, as long as the Jun Family does not fall into an irrevocable state of destruction, it is enough!”
A sparkle appeared in Jun Mo Xie’s eyes. He had astutely captured the meaning behind Jun Zhan Tian’s words: ”Do what you must.” These were insightful and significant words.
”No wonder he gave me such a detailed analysis of the situation within the capital. It turns out that the main message he wished to convey was encapsulated in these words. This statement practically meant that I am free to do whatever I want while the Jun Family will support me and not interfere. However, if something goes beyond control, they will pull me out of it…”
”However, why did he hesitate when he mentioned Third Uncle’s disability? The reason will be revealed shortly…”
Jun Zhan Tian’s face showed a look of comfort as he looked at his grandson. ”As for your Third Uncle’s legs, if you can find a method of healing it, please do so quickly. Regardless of the outcome, just do not delay any longer. If you keep delaying, not only your Third Uncle will be anxious, someone else would even be more anxious.”
The next moment, Jun Zhan Tian glared at him with large fiery eyes and chided. ”You two! Do you really think I am stupid? You are my grandson, that is my son, and this is the Jun Family’s Residence! Do you think you can even hide this from me? What a joke!”
”Errr...” Jun Mo Xie felt somewhat awkward. Rubbing his nose, he explained. ”I was just worried that if this fails again, you would become disappointed once again. That would be undesirable.”
”I was never hopeful about this matter at all!” Jun Zhan Tian glared angrily, his words striking hard against Jun Mo Xie.
”In the event that you actually succeeded in curing him, do you think I would be foolish enough to announce it to the whole world? If I were to do that, won’t everyone start turning their attention towards you two, plotting conspiracies after conspiracies to harm you? If you dare to hide anything from me again, I will beat you till you are sore all over! I will make sure that you can’t even crawl or walk out of the door!”
”Uhh…” Jun Mo Xie replied softly as he looked at his grandfather in a daze.
