87 Getting To The Crux Of The Issue (2/2)
”Uncle, ever since I, Jun Mo Xie, entered this world, I have never killed anyone,” Jun Mo Xie spoke innocently, his eyes flashing traces of loneliness and longing. Jun Mo Xie looked so sincere and genuine that anyone seeing him would have trusted him completely and taken his words as the absolute truth!
And this was indeed the truth! When Jun Mo Xie said ”ever since Jun Mo Xie entered this world”, he was not referring to Jun Mo Xie but rather ”Jun Xie”, the ”Evil Monarch” himself!
Just then, the little loli maid walked in quietly and did a little curtsy bow before saying, ”Third Master, Young Master. Somebody is requesting to see you, Third Master. He said it is something urgent.” While speaking, she noticed Jun Mo Xie covered in dirt and dust and felt sorry for him. ”Poor Young Master must have been abused again. Young Master has become very kind recently, he doesn’t deserve such treatment!”
Jun Mo Xie replied quickly, ”Quick, let him enter!”
Finally, someone had come to salvage the situation. He came just at the perfect moment!
A short while later, a man dressed completely in black strode in at a steady pace. With shrewd eyes and a composed demeanor, an aura of energy and confidence radiated from him. Glancing at him, Jun Mo Xie could tell that this was a person of talent.
”General, we have identified the person who bought the Nine Leaf Grass.”
”Who is it?” Jun Mo Xie and Jun Wu Yi asked simultaneously.
”He is...the Young Master of the Tang Family, Tang Yuan” The man looked up at Jun Mo Xie before answering hesitantly.
”Tang Yuan?” Jun Mo Xie shouted in surprise and said, ”Why on earth did Fatty Tang buy the Nine Leaf Grass? Is someone in the Tang Family in need of this herb as well?”
”I...I am not sure about this for now.”
Jun Wu Yi and Jun Mo Xie stared at each other for a long while without uttering a word. The messenger took the cue and left the room quietly.
”The information could not have been leaked, could it?” Jun Wu Yi wondered aloud.
”I suppose not!” Jun Mo Xie replied confidently. But he frowned again, asking, ”But why would Fatty Tang buy this herb? Its uses are so limited. It is really incomprehensible.” Thinking for a moment, Jun Mo Xie asked, ”Uncle, you once said that there were only three strands of this herb, right?”
”Yes!”
”Then all I need is to ask Fatty Tang to give us the remaining two strands of herb! Leave this to me!” Jun Mo Xie was full of confidence. The priced jade and sword which Fatty Tang lost during the gambling bet were still in the hands of Jun Mo Xie. If Jun Mo Xie offered these items in exchange for the two strands of herb, he was pretty sure that Fatty Tang would instantly agree to the deal! This deal would be far too good for Fatty Tang!
”This works too,” Jun Wu Yi smiled while looking down at his crippled legs. Hints of excitement flashed across his eyes as he thought,”We are finally down to one last ingredient for the Blazing Heart Meridian!”
