128 A breakthrough within sigh (1/2)

”Medical examination... is he going to strip you naked?” Jun Mo Xie pensively held out his finger and made a poking gesture as he winked: ”Is he also going to check your ass?”

”I've heard that they even check your anus.” Tang Yuan replied in a gloomy tone: ”Right now I'm not going to be able to pass that exam.”

The fatty was standing on his feet, and one could tell that the man was quite scared of what was coming his way: ”Third young master, I have heard that the eunuchs are asked to strip naked… completely…. Gives me the creeps, really ah…..and then they put all kinds of things inside your body ah.”

”And now I have the creeps.” Jun Mo Xie scratched his arms, which were studded with goosebumps.

If something was so terrifying that even the king of all assassins was terrified of it, then just imagine how horrifying the situation must be!

”So is there no solution to this? Brother I'm counting on you!” the fatty looked at his friends with a hint of hope in his eyes.

”There is! But you have to go to the palace as soon as possible for the check up, and I'll help you prepare for it myself, uh, so …..so…..” Jun Mo Xie smiled and winked, and then broke into a laugher.

”I don't understand… what do you mean?…..” Tang Yuan was standing with a blank look on his face.

”You don't understand? I can't have you working at the palace okay… I was thinking about doing business with you… as a partner. Over time, both of us could make a fortune, together.” Jun Mo Xie smiled as he continued to observe Tang Yuan's face.

”Do business together??” Tang Yuan's face lit up, and he blinked twice in quick succession: ”Third young master…. You're like my second parent! You're like my….”

”Get out of here; you won't be able to live up to your father's expectation, but what's your father going to do once his own actions lead to your disqualification?” Jun Mo Xie stretched his legs and kicked the fatty in his buttocks.

Tang Yuan clutched his buttocks as he grimaced in pain: ”Nothing. As long as the royal decree goes against me, father will not kill me…. I hope. So you're say that if I fail and use my father as the scapegoat.. ha ha ha ha…..?”

Tang Yuan's body language changed the moment he realized that he was out of danger. Jun Mo Xie was laughing so hard that all the sorrowful thoughts of his heart seemed to have washed away; [this fatty is one heck of an amusing clown.]

He was still laughing when he suddenly recalled Tang Yuan's earlier words: 'Tang Wanli's friend from forty years ago had suddenly popped out of nowhere, and the man was a super-expert.' He paused in the middle of his laughter: [a super master? How could this be? Does this mysterious occurrence have anything to do with the news about the Xuan Core? But so quickly? If so, then then there's a storm coming towards the Tian Xiang Country…..]

Suddenly the Qi Inside Jun Mo Xie's body started working automatically. Jun Mo Xie could clearly feel the strength of the Qi which was flowing through his body's meridians at the moment, and could tell that it was beginning to reach the point of saturation now. The originally thin and weak flow of energy, had now transformed into a strong and turbulent current, and he was able to carry out his normal physical movements which much greater ease at present.

Jun Mo Xie's heart was carrying a very strange feeling, which had no logical explanation, but he felt that once this energy reaches the saturation point, then he might be able to open the second layer of the Pagoda!

So this time, Jun Mo Xie didn't ignore it. He started spending his entire time in circulating this energy throughout his body, and ended up spending the next two days in promoting his state. After he was done, Jun Mo Xie was pleasantly surprised to realize that not only was the Pagoda capable of absorbing his body's aura, but could now also assimilate aura from the outside world; only a little amount though. But this was still indicative of a major step in forward direction!

Jun Mo Xie had big expectations from the second layer of the Hongjun Pagoda, since the first layer was only the basics of its foundation. If the basics were so amazing, then the second layer…..

In the recent days, the atmospheric temperature had dipped, and the autumn winds were rustling brazenly throughout the city. Dried out yellow leaves were falling from the sky, but Jun Mo Xie was spending his entire time inside his room; practicing. He was busy absorbing energy from his surroundings, and was trying to feed it to the Pagoda; if he couldn't feed some part of the energy, then he'd scatter it around in his surroundings, such as his courtyard, and that of his Third Uncle's, and Guan Qing Han's. Due to this sudden influx of Aura, the courtyards were actually still lush green, almost as if it was still the peak of the summer. In fact, some of the tree branches had even started sprouting new buds. Even though this quite bizarre, Guan Qing Han was cherishing this new life in their courtyard; while this phenomenon was quite abnormal, she was beginning to care about these new buds almost as if they were a priceless treasure.

The winds were rising inside the Tian Xiang city, so Jun Mo Xie was obviously under tremendous pressure!

In fact, pressure can be a very powerful driving force! And so, Jun Mo Xie was forcing himself since he wanted to be prepared for this unpredictable change in climate, which was now approaching the Tian Xiang city, and wished to be strong enough to brave through this upcoming turbulence in weather!

He had always been a lone wolf in his previous incarnation, and would always act freely! However, his circumstances had changed now, and he was no longer alone; he was now burdened with the protection of an entire family! He could still act freely and remain unaffected by the fate of his family; but having an entire family supporting his actions would fuel his ambition further; in this world, power and influence were very eminent and necessary factors.

Jun Mo Xie had personally trained three hundred men in the past, and now they would all come in handy.

For the first time, Jun Mo Xie was going to work with a team.
