103 So White (2/2)
”Was he not just a Sky Xuan level expert? Did you get scared just from that? I'm getting angry just looking your stupid expressions. You might as well go first!”
Uh? What?!
The eight men immediately recalled that after Ye Gu Han had bellowed out in extreme anger, they had been despondent for a split second. Could it be that the young master called out right at that moment but we did not respond, and so he ran away after panting with rage? They stared dumbstruck at Jun Mo Xie; their minds were all simultaneously confused.
They actually hadn't remembered to ask. Since you went off by yourself, why would we come back at the same time? We went to all four corners of Tianxiang City to look for you. Where have you been all this time?
Furthermore, why are you dressed in the loose-fitting, intolerably vulgar clothes that only the newly rich would wear? Furthermore, why does your hair look like it's wet?
”Don't be distracted and quickly give me the Blazing Heart Meridian.” One of Jun Mo Xie's leg has already crossed the threshold of the gate and didn't even turn around before speaking. The bodyguards woke up as if from a dream, mechanically moving in step, to follow after the mysterious young master inside. Almost everyone was bewildered. How were the young master's legs moving so rapidly? Was he possessed?!
How unpleasant. The frigid wind blew inside Young Master Jun's current billowing gown as he hurried to change clothes. If people ever found out that he first swam naked, ran naked and then stripped another man of his clothes, then his entire life's illustrious reputation as an assassin would certainly be lost in the Spirit Fog Lake…
The Jun Residence's gate closed tightly shut behind everyone!
Deep into the night when the moon was high in the sky, Jun Wu Yi was still sitting in his wheelchair as before, absentmindedly drinking by himself and calmly waiting for his nephew to come. In the sky, the gentle moonlight spilled upon his steadfast face, light and shadow danced across his tranquil and esoteric expression.
A wishful gaze, a hopeful gaze, an expecting gaze, or could it have possibly been…
A desperate gaze!
A sound came from the courtyard gate as a Jun Mo Xie, dressed in his own gown, walked in with a grin.
Jun Wu Yi slowly turned his wheelchair unhurriedly and calmly examined Jun Mo Xie up and down to discover not a single problem, only then was he relaxed and said. ”I heard you… created a large commotion in the afternoon at Magnificent Jewel Hall?”
”Yep!” Jun Mo Xie spoke bluntly. ”Magnificent Jewel Hall is too arrogant!” But he suddenly sensed that something was wrong. When Third Uncle spoke about Magnificent Jewel Hall, why did he pause in the middle? His tone was also not very suitable.
Jun Wu Yi had downcast eyes and was silent for a long time before slowly speaking. ”Do you have any idea that I broke out in a cold sweat once I got this news. Your grandpa appears to be fine on the outside, but I know that he is scared! Mo Xie, uncle know that you have courage, but… unless it is absolutely necessary—a life or death crisis—never have any conflict with Magnificent Jewel Hall. Our Jun Family… cannot… afford to offend the Magnificent Jewel Hall, at least for the time being. Do you understand?!” He spoke this sentence very slowly, carefully pronouncing every word; it's hard to imagine that such words of resignation came from the mouth of such an unyielding, lion-hearted man.
Jun Mo Xie was stunned, slowly sat down in front of him and said, ”Third Uncle, it's not like you to say these words. Is this Magnificent Jewel Hall really so frightening?! Even you are afraid of them!”
Jun Wu Yi turned his head away, wouldn't let him see the look in his eyes and replied in a cold, indifferent tone.
”If I were alone, I'd naturally not be afraid of the Magnificent Jewel Hall! Even if the Magnificent Jewel Hall were to be stronger by a hundredfold, what can they do? A man has but one life, grass has but one spring, so if death comes then so be it!
And I know you are the same, Mo Xie, I know that you fear neither the heaven nor earth and this Third Uncle is very pleased. But I always feel you don't have a strong sense of family, so I want you to promise me! To always keep in mind that you are the youngest generation of a noble family! That behind you, there is a large and deeply rooted Jun Family!”
”Most of the time, the family is your greatest support, but occasionally, it can also be your most significant setback!” Jun Wu Yi looked up. His eyes betrayed many things that he could not put into words. ”As long as there is hope for the family, we… must not give up! This is the glory of the family and also its tragedy and responsibility!”
Jun Mo Xie was silent for a long time before replying with a smile. ”I understand!”
”It's good that you understand.” Jun Wu Yi smiled mildly. ”In this matter, I have been waiting for you all night. Since you understand now, have a drink with me.”
”Drink? Let's postpone this for another time. I'm afraid Uncle will not be able to drink wine for the next fortnight. But first, I would like to congratulate Third Uncle because the five kinds of medicinal herbs are now in our possession.”
Jun Mo Xie smiled.
”And I have already determined from checking your pulse that you are ready as early as a half month ago! Third Uncle, in another ten days, you can tear down the thing you are sitting on now and light it on fire. That day also happens to be when the restriction on your diet can be lifted!
