134 The legendary jinx (1/2)
”After the scene that the young master Jun has caused here, the other princes won't dare to bother him and the Jun Family will be able to carry on peacefully. It seems that this whole plan was orchestrated by Jun Zhan Tian. But this situation has also given rise to an additional problem; a big problem.” Fang Bo Wen frowned his eyebrows.
”Please explain, teacher.” The Second Prince's face was already beginning to look gloomier, and it seemed as if he had already made his own guess.
”Your Highness said it yourself.” Fang Bo Wen sighed loudly: ”Soon, everyone will know that Your Highness and Jun Mo Xie have had a falling out in public, and that Your Highness was publicly humiliated by the young master Jun's arrogance. If any harm comes to the young master Jun at this time….. then, Your Highness will undoubtedly be the first one to be suspected for it. I firmly believe that Your Highness's enemies won't miss this chance to frame you.”
”What is this nonsense?” the Second Prince was suddenly furious: ”Even after all the humiliation that I have faced today, I will still have to protect him?”
”It all depends on Your Highness's choice; if Your Highness isn't afraid of Jun Zhan Tian's wrath, then you can simply ignore this possibility.” Fang Bo Wen stated slowly.
”…..” The Second Prince remained silent.
[Not afraid? That's an understatement…. So many men lost their lives the other day…. The last time Jun Zhan Tian lost his temper, he cleared out almost a third of the imperial court. If he lost his temper on me….. I can't give him a reason to ransack my palace….].
”Damn that son of a bi**h!” the Second Prince felt wronged to the point of death. This man was turning into a legendary jinx for him! He had been nothing more than pure bad-luck for the prince; first he had insulted the second prince, and then Jun Mo Xie had also insulted Lady Yue'er, and had also made a public enemy out of her…..
A delicate silhouette was watching the Second Prince from the top of the Ni Chang pavilion as the Second Prince continued to walk alongside the road. ”If that's the case, then you should have thought twice before arranging this meeting. Jun Mo Xie humiliated me publicly today, and you didn't even try to stop him. If I'm so bad for your reputation, then why did you try to pursue me to start with? I'm Yue'er, how could you let this happen to me?”
A sly silver light flashed in her eyes as Lady Yue'er bit her lips: ”If you won't do anything since you are afraid of Jun Zhan Tian's military might, then I'll take this matter into my own hands. I will not allow Jun Mo Xie to get away with this; he will die without a proper burial!”
As the night gradually became darker, Lady Yue'er loosened her hand and released a pigeon. The pigeon fluttered its wings a few times, and then flew up into the air.
Around a distant dark corner, a dark clothed figure started to run at the speed of lightening and quickly landed on a nearby rooftop. The man released a dark colored net and spread it open in mid-air, and the dark colored net gradually fused into the dark sky. The pigeon which had just taken off from the Ni Chang pavilion landed inside the net…..
The black clothed man collected the body of the pigeon and quickly retreated into the shadows….
The Second Prince's platoon reached his residence late night.
Another black pigeon was released into the night sky, which quickly disappeared as well. Cheng De Cao stood by the window with a grin on his face, and murmured: ”Jun Mo Xie, I don't care about the power of your family. Since you've insulted me today, I will not allow you to exist; everyone will think that you were killed by one of the Princes… who will suspect me? What's more, I don't even have the strength to harm you, right? Ha ha ha …..”
This self-proclaimed genius was a complete fool to take out a deal against the hitman Jun Mo Xie!
Jun Mo Xie hadn't missed out on any details so far, and had already placed his sleuths around the Second Prince's residence as well.
Everything was working according to Jun Mo Xie's plan so far!
Jun Mo Xie was a looking a little depressed sitting inside his rickety palanquin. He was so accustomed to travelling on his own feet, that sitting inside his palanquin was nothing short of torture for him.
[These kinds of things aren't good for hitmen. So much bouncing and swaying can make anyone's life miserable; why would some people consider travelling in these palanquins a status symbol? If I had any kind of a heart based condition, then so much swaying would have already sent me straight to the gates of hell.]
Even though Jun Mo Xie was trying his best to fight the urge to get out of the palanquin until he reached the Jun residence, the extraordinarily slow speed and the constant swaying of his ride was more than he could tolerate. Unable to bear it anymore, the young master Jun was almost about to open his mouth and order his bearers to halt, when he suddenly heard a 'whoosh' sound, and some kind of a small white object jumped into his palanquin, cried excitedly 'hooo', and rubbed its body against Jun Mo Xie's arms. Jun Mo Xie reacted quickly, and grabbed the unknown animal by its neck, and picked it up. As he looked at the small animal, he realized that he was holding Dugu Xiao Yi's high-end Xuan Beast; the iron winged panther cub.
Jun Mo Xie carefully looked at the small limbs of the tiny creature in a weird way…. [How could something so small be so fast? And how fast will he become after he grows up into an adult? I underestimated this animal… he is truly worthy of being called a high-end Xuan Beast!]
