85 I Really Cannot Figh (1/2)

”Someone bought it already?” Jun Mo Xie asked warily. He sat upright and said, ”A person would only need this herb to heal blocked or damaged meridians. How could it be that at such a critical moment, someone else bought it? Could someone from our residence have released this information? Is someone trying to plot against us?”

”I doubt so,” Jun Wu Yi shook his head. ”Only a few know that the Jun Family is looking for this herb, and even fewer know that this herb is for me. It is not possible for anyone to make the connection between our purchase of this herb and its importance in my recovery. Could it just be a mere coincidence? Or is heaven’s will trying to prevent me from recovering?”

Jun Mo Xie bit his lips as he paced back and forth with a frown on his face. If there was only one missing ingredient out of the five essential medicinal herbs, he could easily replace it with other combinations to concoct a medicine that was only slightly less effective. But if there were two missing ingredients…

”Third Uncle, could you please order your men to find out who stole this herb from us?”

”An investigation on this case is already ongoing. However, this only occurred recently and it is still too early to distil more information on the buyer.” Jun Wu Yi smiled. He appeared calm and even comforted Jun Mo Xie, ”I have been waiting for so many years. It does not matter even if my recovery is delayed for a few more months. Fear not, all is well.”

Jun Mo Xie’s face turned serious as he raised his cup to sip his wine. He was deep in thought, but the more he contemplated, the more perplexed the problem seemed. Noticing his nephew deeply immersed in thought, Jun Wu Yi decided to leave him alone and continued to enjoy his wine.

The next instant, approaching footsteps broke the tranquillity in the room. A smile flashed across Jun Wu Yi’s face as he heard the familiar footsteps.

Donned in a stunning white dress, Guan Qing Han entered the room gracefully. She resembled a delicate snowflake, gently floating into the room in an elegant manner. However, as she approached Jun Mo Xie, he felt a strong pressure weighing down on him, as though a massive iceberg was slowly crushing him. Although she appeared gentle, a cold, bone-chilling aura emanated from her.

Despite her beautiful looks and her charming dress, many would have thought that her heart had also turned cold long ago.

Jun Mo Xie had protested against Guan Qing Han’s sparring challenge request on many occasions but to no avail. Jun Mo Xie knew where he stood in terms of fighting abilities. All he lacked was only in strength, but in terms of killing techniques, he was second to none in the world!

However, his grandfather, Jun Zhan Tian, was unaware of this fact as Jun Mo Xie wanted to keep this a secret. As such, Jun Zhan Tian had rejected Jun Mo Xie’s protest firmly. Especially after witnessing the ”abusive” nature of Guan Qing Han’s moves, Jun Zhan Tian had only left a single remark.

He said, ”I am very satisfied. Give no mercy and continue to beat him up!”

Today would be Wu Jun Yi’s first time witnessing his nephew getting beaten up. In the past one month, his nephew had always been outwitting him, causing him much frustration. Jun Wu Yi had thus jumped on this opportunity to vent his frustration. After all, opportunities like this were always hard to come by.

”But I really cannot fight!” Jun Mo Yi sighed to himself.

It was not that Jun Mo Xie was unable to fight, but that he did not dare to retaliate. Throughout his whole life, Jun Mo Xie’s hands had always been stained with blood. Killing only took a split second, and he was highly proficient in it. However, during friendly sparring matches, not only will he be restricted from executing his killing techniques, even the basic moves to take down his opponents might cause the opponent to sustain severe injuries and therefore could not be used.

Moreover, it was his sister-in-law challenging him to a duel! Although Guan Qing Han may dislike him, how could he possibly kill her? Of course, breaking her limbs were out of the picture. It was awkward enough to cause even minor dislocations to a woman.

Furthermore, for a man to fight a woman, if they were not arch-enemies, it might be inappropriate to deal blows to certain parts of the body.

Without using his vicious methods, Jun Mo Xie did not have many options in facing his opponent, especially someone like Guan Qing Han who had Xuan Qi level far exceeding his own. Even if his unparallelled fighting capabilities provided an advantage over his opponent, his tactical shrewdness alone would be unable to overcome the immense difference in strength.

Guan Qing Han remained at her spot, quiet and motionless, resembling alone, snow lotus flower on an ice mountain. She appeared noble and elegant, yet at the same time, emotionless and cold.
