108 Whats The Plan (2/2)
”Plans? What plans would I have? Am I not free now that Third Uncle has recovered?! I will just continue to act as a debauchee.”
Jun Mo Xie drank some wine and started digging into the wild boar meat on the table with two greasy hands.
”As to what happens next, I'll just follow Grandpa's directions. In the meantime, Third Uncle's recovery cannot be known by others. His advancement into the Sky Xuan level, in particular, must remain in the utmost secrecy for us all. Hic. This will depend on your performance, Grandpa. You will have to continue to be miserable when you leave.”
Jun Zhan Tian furrowed his brows at this proposition. He drank some wine and said.
”Nonsense. I've already worried more than enough because of you two bastards. Now that Mo Xie is working hard to improve himself and Wu Yi has also fully recovered, what is there for me to worry about? How can you ask me to pretend when all of my past frustrations are gone?!”
He sighed deeply after finishing speaking. It's not that he isn't capable, but the old man is rather tired of those miserable days. He had no choice but to worry in the past, but he still can't be happy now that all his worries have been resolved? Now that is depressing!
”What to do?” Jun Mo Xie licked his greasy hands. ”You're saying that you are now worried that you are currently worry-free? You bring up a good point. Just leave it to your grandson to make you worry again. Do you want me to cause trouble at the Magnificent Jewel Hall, kidnap the three princes and give them a beating, or bring home a few commoner girls?
”You're looking for a spanking!” The old man was aware that it was only a joke, but he still got angry nonetheless. ”I hadn't even reprimanded you for the incident at the Magnificent Jewel Hall the other day, but you brought it up yourself! Understand that there are powers such as the Magnificent Jewel Hall that are above even nation-states. You cannot provoke the Magnificent Jewel Hall no matter what! They are not an organization you can afford to offend even when you advance to the pinnacle of the Supreme Divine Xuan realm! Are we clear?” The old man's voice immediately became solemn, and his expression was quite severe.
”Just what is the Magnificent Jewel Hall's origin?” Instead of fear, a strong curiosity arose in Jun Mo Xie's heart. ”Even a peak expert at the Supreme Divine Realm can't provoke? More powerful than nation-states?!”
”I can only tell you that the Magnificent Jewel Hall is as large and powerful as an iceberg. Just the tip is already enough to force the world to cower at their feet. There are even a few Supreme Divine Xuan experts among their ranks! This old man can't even begin to fathom the depth of their spy network, but I do know for certain that we must not provoke them.” Zhan Tian sighed, looked at the Jun Wu Yi, and regrettably sighed again.
Jun Wu Yi's face twitched, anguish apparent in his eyes as if his entire spirit suffered a deep stab of pain at this moment! But he calmed down immediately and sat peacefully, if only just a bit more quiet than before.
”In that case, the family's secret forces will henceforth be placed under Wu Yi's control! As for you, Mo Xie…” Grandpa Jun muttered to himself, undecided for a long time before finally giving up and said. ”You just do what you do best and help your uncle whenever you have time.”
Jun Wu Yi and Jun Mo Xie nodded in agreement before Jun Mo Xie called to attention. ”Grandpa, Third Uncle. Before Third Uncle officially take over as the head of the family's secret forces, we must first thoroughly eliminate any enemies within our ranks!”
Pausing, Jun Mo Xie stared fixedly at the two men.
”Third Uncle's full recovery is naturally a momentous occasion for our Jun Family but becomes an additional threat to outsiders. Especially…” Jun Mo Xie faintly smiled as he pointed his fingers upward.
The meaning is self-evident.
”Grandpa had probably already purged our family's secret forces of any agents from the other major families. I am convinced of this point. However, there must still be agents of the imperial family within our family! And Grandpa, you should have already identified these men, but you have just turned a blind eye so far, correct?” Jun Mo Xie smiled. ”However, this is now a critical moment. Therefore, they must be removed!”
Jun Zhan Tian looked at his grandson in shock. Every point Jun Mo Xie made had hit the mark! His deduction had no mistake!
For a long time, an expression of agony appeared on Jun Zhan Tian's face before he said. ”Correct. There are men in our midst that were dispatched by His Majesty, and they had already infiltrated our family for more than a decade. But they have never acted against our Jun Family…”
”Since our Jun Family never act against the imperial family and have always been loyal and devoted subjects, they naturally never had the reason to make a report! But things are different now! Even though we are still loyal, if our secret is leaked, I suspect it is enough to exterminate our entire family!”
Jun Mo Xie's eyes shined brightly and carefully said each word. ”At the moment, even if they have already betrayed the imperial family and have genuinely turned into loyal men of the Jun Family, we still cannot afford to take this risk. This is not the time to be soft-hearted! He who hesitates loses!”
Jun Zhan Tian sighed, deep wrinkles appearing on his aged face at that moment. After a long time, he said. ”You're right. In a moment, I will hand over a list of names to the both of you. As for what to do, I'll leave it to you two to decide. You do not need to keep me informed!” Standing up, he slowly walked away with heavy footsteps.
”Mo Xie, isn't doing things this way too cruel? Your grandpa cannot bear such a thing! Is it possible…” Jun Wu Yi frowned, an expression of struggle appeared on his face. Jun Wu Yi would not hesitate to act against his enemies, but he didn't have the heart to act against people who had distinguished themselves by outstanding meritorious service to the Jun Family. Even though he is fully aware that they were undercover agents dispatched by His Majesty to spy on the Jun Family, but they have been through thick and thin with the Jun Family many times!
