106 Grand Preceptor Li and the Jade Sea Coral (1/2)
Slowly lowering his head to inspect his now healthy and strong legs, he slowly moved a few times before kicking a few times as his confidence grew. Suddenly, he broke out into laughter and smiled from ear to ear until he was in tears. This general who had once shaken the world, an iron blooded man who did not shed tears when he suffered a plot against him, had broken down in tears when he had recovered!
He saw, with tears in his eyes, the affectionate moment between his father and his son. A surge of emotions overwhelmed him and, with a quick two steps, suddenly plopped down on his knees.
”This unworthy child pays respect to father!” It's been ten years… ten years where he was unable to give such a gift to his father!
Jun Zhan Tian was trembling from head to toe as he faltered. ”My son… stand up. Quickly. Quickly stand up…”
”Mo Xie!” Jun Wu Yi stood up and stared deeply at Jun Mo Xie. ”You have given me back my life…”
Before he could finish, Jun Mo Xie's laughter interrupted him.
”Third Uncle, you speak as if you were not already alive and well. Besides, I'm your nephew; could it be that we have to write out two 'Jun' with one brush? There's no need for petty distinctions between family members. Not to mention that this is part of my duty as the younger generation.”
Jun Wu Yi let out a deep, hearty laugh and stared deeply at his nephew; he had made a wholehearted decision at this moment.
Since I can stand, I'll bear Jun Family's heavy burden upon my shoulders!
My, Jun Wu Yi's, long sword that had been covered in dust for ten years is once more unsheathed; not for king and country, and not for the common people! But for the Jun Family, and for—Mo Xie!
”Third Uncle.” Jun Mo Xie suddenly started laughing uncontrollably; it was rather strange as if he harbored mischievous intention. The two men were at a loss and looked at him in confusion.
”Third Uncle, your asset is quite something, but…” Jun Mo Xie was now shaking all over from laughing, ”… this valiant and spirited bearing; although grandpa definitely won't mind, your nephew is still a little embarrassed. You should… cover up, Hahaha…”
Jun Mo Xie winked as he lowered his gaze toward Jun Wu Yi's lower half. Jun Wu Yi had been stark naked during his treatment and subsequent meditation. After he had discovered his complete recovery, he had completely neglected this point under his emotional state of mind. Up until now, he still was still exposed, wagging his lower head in a high-spirited manner.
Ten years he had been waiting for this day and yet, he did not know when to test his gun?!
Jun Zhan Tian was prompted by Mo Xie's words to look at his son's majestic thing and also couldn't help blowing his beard as he burst into loud laughter.
Jun Wu Yi's long face immediately turned purple like an eggplant, indignantly gnashing his teeth.
”Little brat, wait a minute just a minute, I'll right back to teach you a lesson!” He barely made a sound as he disappeared; leaving behind a grandfather and his grandson holding their stomach, laughing without any restraint or regards to their image.
A short while later, Jun Wu Yi reappeared dressed in black, rolling up his sleeves as he said.
”Boy, have some guts and don't flee.”
Jun Mo Xie jumped out of his skin and screamed. ”Save me! I will not fight…” turned around and ran away. But how can his speed compare to Jun Wu Yi who had recently advanced to Sky Xuan expert?
The sound of buttocks being struck echoed out around the courtyard.
Jun Mo Xie was laughing one moment then begging for forgiveness the next as he ran for dear life. Jun Wu Yi completely ignored him and continued to beat his ass. Seeing no other choice, Jun Mo Xie suddenly stopped to change direction before taking a big leap forward to hide behind Grandpa Jun. Jun Wu Yi snorted in exasperation and continued to chase and strike.
Even though Grandpa Jun had the strength of a Sky Xuan expert, he still became dizzy and light-headed from these two people running circles around him. However, he was not upset at all but rather enjoyed this moment as he continued to laugh. It had been a very, very long time since this scene of family love and joy had appeared in this household.
Seeing the six burly men who had tended to the fire preparing to tip over the giant iron cauldron, Jun Mo Xie hastily shouted out. ”Stop! I still have a use for that so do not dump it!”
When he yelled out, Jun Wu Yi and Jun Zhan Tian were simultaneously flabbergasted. Jun Wu Yi wasn't seriously disciplining his nephew; all three men had been grinning from ear to ear. He had long since forgotten about the awkward situation.
”How can you dispose of it so casually? This is incredibly valuable.” Jun Mo Xie drove away the men by iron cauldron and picked up a leather bag that was off to the side. He poured its content into the pitch-black water, and the surface exploded just like pouring water onto hot oil.
Jun Mo Xie quickly backed away after he emptied the bag, only to see the black water splash out from the cauldron onto the ground.
The ground where the water landed immediately turned jet-black!
Jun Wu Yi and Grandpa Jun were dumbstruck. This poison is too… malicious!
”What did you add? How can it be so tyrannical?!”
Grandpa Jun did not feel ashamed from asking and learning from his grandson; the old man had understood that his grandson had lots of strange tricks up his sleeves and anything that he does would not be ordinary.
”It was just snake venom, but there were many different kinds.” Jun Mo Xie explained unhurriedly. ”There are thirteen kinds of viper venom altogether.” Jun Mo Xie pointed at the big iron cauldron. ”Grandfather, Third Uncle, take a look. The bath water in the cauldron is comprised of six highly lethal poisons, but their overbearing properties perfectly complement and subdue one another causing them to exist in harmony. Adding the snake venom disrupts this precarious balance and converts the water in the cauldron into the deadliest poison known to mah! If we soak the weapons from our family's armories in this solution for several days, then the soldiers under our command will be able to wield weapons that will cause our enemies' heart and lungs to fail. If this is deployed during wartime, hehehehe…”
