173 Taking her back? (1/2)
Guan Qing Yue was extremely reluctant to believe Jun Mo Xie, but Jun Mo Xie's vivid description of Yue'er along with the factual reference to her birth mark was enough to make the youngster lose his mind!
Guan Qing Yue stood there ignoring his father's words…. wheezing, and panting. He stretched out his finger, and pointed it at Jun Mo Xie as he barely found his words through his trembling lips: ”Jun Mo Xie! I swear I'll kill you!”
The pain of his heart, the ache of his lungs and the shame on his manhood had brought tears to his eyes by the time he finished his sentence!
Jun Mo Xie couldn't help wondering: [you silly boy, you actually believed Yue'er?!]
This one sentence had transformed the atmosphere of the room to that of a cold winter's night! Jun Zhan Tian and Jun Wu Yi's face had turned gloomy, but in the back drop of a surging murderous outburst!
Inside the Jun residence….. in front of Jun Zhan Tian and Jun Wu Yi, someone was actually threatening to kill the only remaining heir of the Jun Family? If this ever got out, then the people of Tian Xiang Empire would laugh, regarding this as a fool's joke! But right now, this mockery was actually taking place inside their house…..
Everyone knew the importance of Jun Mo Xie's life...
Guan Dong Liu, Guan Ru Shan, Guan Qing Bo, and even Guan Qing Han's faces suddenly turned pale!
”Bastard! Stop with your nonsense at once!” Guan Dong Liu simply couldn't stay still anymore, and hence he quickly got up and slapped his son across his face: ”You will apologize to the Son of Jun right now?!”
”I will not apologize to him! I haven't said anything wrong!” Guan Qing Yue didn't even flinch, and continued to stare brazenly at Jun Mo Xie; not even willing to wipe off the blood which had already started to stain the corner of his mouth: ”Jun Mo Xie, as a man to a man…. I challenge you to a duel!”
”Duel? Why ah?” Jun Mo Xie looked extremely confused, and even managed to display a slight but bewildered smile on his face: ”Second Guan Brother, I don't know where I offended you ah? This is the first time we're meeting! We're related by a bond of marriage….. you come here to the city of Tian Xiang, you eat with my family, you drink with my family, and we do everything to entertain you, but still you're cursing me in a room full of people, and now you're even challenging me to a duel?! You clearly wish to kill me! May I dare to ask the reason?”
”You….. you dare not ask the reason! How dare you ask the reason? If you're a real man, then you should accept my challenge!” Guan Qing Yue's eyes were still fixed provocatively at Jun Mo Xie.
”You damn thing! Didn't you hear what your father just said?” Guan Dong Liu's hand shot out again with the intention of slapping his son again as his anxious heart compelled him to take strict action in this situation; [this is getting out of hand today… Even if the Jun Family considers us to be relatives, would they still go easy on my second son for this insolence? Even the reasonable men of the Jun Family may not act very reasonably in this situation!]
[Does he know who Jun Mo Xie is? He is the only surviving heir of the Jun Family! Even though my second son has only threatened to kill him, but if someone had threatened to kill my son, then I would have sent that man to his death without giving him any chances of explaining the situation! If this is how I think, then how long will it be until the Old man Jun makes this decision?]
Guan Qing Yue was still staring at Jun Mo Xie with a stubborn face and unblinking eyes, and no intention of dodging his father's second slap either. Guan Dong Liu's hand was in mid-air, ready to strike his son even harder this second time when a hand appeared out of nowhere and tightly clutched his hand, and held it in its place. Guan Dong Liu turned around to realize that it was Jun Wu Yi's hand.
Jun Wu Yi smiled gently as he stated in a casual manner: ”Brother Guan, there must be reason behind your son's words. We must investigate and get to the bottom of this matter to determine if Mo Xie's unplaced words might have accidentally or unintentionally offended the second son of Guan. There can often be friction between youngsters, and as their elders, we must never hastily intervene to suppress them…. It will never bring any good. It could possibly lead to a grave misunderstanding, right?”
Jun Wu Yi's smiling face, and affectionate expression sent shivers down Guan Dong Liu's spine.
Although Jun Wu Yi's words had been gentle and mature, but there was still a faint hint of dominance in his body language, which was rather self-explanatory. Guan Dong Liu's head gradually turned downwards as he realized that responding in disagreement might result in the slaughter of his entire family.
”Third Uncle, please allow me to get to the bottom of this.” Guan Qing Han quietly bowed her head in front of her second brother's eyes: ”Kindy allow me to find out why Qing Yue acted in this manner today. Please allow me the authority to decide the course of action once I've determined which of my two brothers is at fault; Mo Xie, or Qing Yue, since I'm an older sister to the both of them!”
She had noticed that the three youngsters were huddled together only moments ago, and were whispering and laughing with obscene looks on their faces. She could sense this sudden rise in the temperature of their conversation could have been provoked by something not worth mentioning in front of the adults.
However, Guan Qing Yue was her brother in blood and she had always believed him to be very well-behaved. Therefore, she had already made up her mind that her own brother could never cause such trouble, and Jun Mo Xie must have provoked her brother beyond his limit of tolerance.
