174 Intense infatuation (1/2)

Guan Dong Liu's smile was accompanied by a thin trace of sweat on his cheeks: ”Of course, please…..uh, take care of your health.” Jun Zhan Tian snorted in reply, and sullenly walked away.

Guan Qing Han was only associated to the Jun Family in name, and not in reality; everyone was aware of this fact! Even though the Guan family had repeatedly risen the issue of taking her back, and the fact that Guan Qing Han had always refuted the proposal was one side of the matter, but their arrival in the city to take her back was a completely separate issue altogether!

The only way in which the Guan Family could take her away was by terminating the engagement between the two families. Both families were fully aware of this. But knowing this was one matter, and the Guan Family taking the initiative on raising the issue in-person was a completely different matter.

Initially, even though the Guan Family hadn't even raised the subject, Jun Zhan Tian and Jun Wu Yi were both already willing to provide all necessary means to supplement their desire since it was for Qing Han's well-fare. However, raising this issue in front of the Jun Family was equivalent to slapping them in the face! Even though this slap was only a metaphoric one across the face of their prestige, but the Jun Family simply couldn't afford to lose their face in this regard!

The originally well-intended actions of both sides had turned into a very complicated situation at this moment.

Jun Wu Yi slowly said: ”Let that be as it may.” He pondered for a moment, and then continued: ”We'll discuss Qing Han's situation later, but for now let's just concentrate on getting to the bottom of this issue between our two sons!”

Guan Dong Liu was already panicking; this was his first time as the head of the family that he was at a complete loss for words!

”Jun Mo Xie, since you've insulted my Yue'er, you're Guan Qing Yue's sworn enemy from this day on!” Guan Qing Yue contrariwise and audaciously sneered: ”Are you really going to use the Jun Family's influence to keep my here forcefully? Yue'er was right about you! Your shameful behavior is the reason she wishes to take revenge against you! Since you were lucky to escape away earlier today, I will finish this task for my Yue'er! Accept the challenge of this young master, Jun Mo Xie!”

The youngster had actually revealed the entire situation, and had ended up doing it with a very confident and angry look on his face!

[Is this kid an idiot? ]

Perhaps newly born calves aren't exactly afraid of the tiger…..

In fact, this was probably due to the influence and power of the Guan Family in the eastern region! Guan Qing Yue had been raised like the son of an emperor since he was the second son of the Guan Family. Owing to this, even though he was in the Tian Xiang City at the moment, he still didn't think of the Jun Family as anything more than a slightly powerful and influential family at best since the Jun Family's Xuan Qi strength wasn't as high as the Guan Family's Xuan Qi strength. But no one had ever told him that the Guan Family kept their supremacy to the eastern region for a reason!

Therefore, his young mind was unable to see the true power of the Jun Family…. All he saw was an Old man nearing his grave, a 'good for nothing debauchee', and a cripple; in his eyes this entire family was useless!

He was obviously overlooking a very important point: Even though the Guan Family comprised of several advanced Xuan Qi experts, but unless their might became at par with the Blizzard Silver City, they would have no option but to adhere to the secular constraints of this world!

Even though the Jun Family wasn't as powerful as the Guan Family in terms of the number of experts in the family, but they were the representatives of the highest military authority of the entire Empire! And they also had the power to mobilize the entire Empire's troops behind them!

Whether it's a super-family or secular one, power can dominate all! A high Xuan level martial artist may be able to kill thousands of people, but still may never be able to rule a country, or a city, or even a village!

But power can!

This was the biggest difference between the Guan Family and the Jun Family! It was also an insurmountable difference!

The fact was: The Guan Family's had a very strong reputation, but their reputation was only strong enough to control their own territory. Whatever attention they had been receiving outside their own region of control was simply because their daughter had been engaged into the Jun Family; it had nothing to do with their own authority!

”You were lucky to escape away earlier today?” Jun Wu Yi unhurriedly repeated this sentence in a stern voice while his eyebrows continued to rise with every word: ”Second son of Guan, do you mean to imply that you played a part in the assassination attempt on Mo Xie's life earlier this evening?!” Jun Wu Yi's sharp eyes suddenly started exhibiting a surging murderous aura.

Jun Wu Yi had only been looking at this dispute as nominal falling out between two youngsters, and it wasn't even remotely enough for him to spoil his mood over, but this one sentence of Guan Qing Yue's had revealed something entirely different and was enough to flare his anger! This was the first time today that he was actually considering taking action against the youngster!

How could a young and inexperienced man like Guan Qing Yue resist the power and might of an iron-blooded war General?

”I did not!” Guan Qing Yue suddenly felt frost bites on his entire body, and cried out in dismay: ”The assassination? What assassination? I was just mentioning it in reference! Why would I have wanted to kill him at a time when I didn't even know about all this? And if I did wish him dead, then why would I tell them anything? If this young master wanted him dead, then how could he have ever escaped alive?!”

Jun Wu Yi, Guan Dong Liu and Guan Ru Shan sighed in unison upon hearing his response.

[It's obvious that Guan Qing Yue is only a tool-for-use in Yue'er's eyes. She must have used him earlier when they met in the east, and would have continued to use him till she left for the Tian Xiang City. And now she's managed to use him to get the information about Jun Mo Xie's whereabouts, and then went about planning the assassination attempt on his life! ]

It was obvious to them all, that he had played no part in the attempt on Jun Mo Xie's life!
