212 A Great Masters arrival (1/2)
The young master Jun casted out the 'Yin and Yang Escape' law and secretly entered into a clothing store, stole himself a robe, left his half-torn attire hanging on the hanger as a replacement, and then proceeded to finding his way back to the Jun Family's residence.
The young master Jun still wasn't skilled enough to be able to cast out the 'Yin and Yang Escape' law and return to the Jun residence in one single go, which is why his journey back was bound to take some time!
The Jun residence was bustling with excitement at this time!
It was rather hard to describe the scene; not only was the house-staff running about excitedly, even the Family's elders were running about!
One of the 'Eight Great Masters', the Solitary Eagle had suddenly arrived at the Jun residence, which was nothing short of an honor for them!
This was rather uncommon; even for families of such influence!
Upon reaching the Jun residence, the Solitary Eagle had immediately reported his real name; he obviously didn't wish to disclose the real purpose of his visit, and cleverly chose to use Hai Chen Feng's treatment as the purpose of his visit.
Even though the 'Eighth Great Master' wasn't ashamed of asking for advice, and was rather determined to seek help, but it would've been rather odd for him to state it publicly in front of so many people that he was here to seek advice from a child.
His arrival had completely shook the Jun residence, so much so that Jun Zhan Tian and Jun Wu Yi had personally ran out to greet and welcome him and the half-dead Hai Chen Feng, leaving all their tasks unattended, and had cordially invited them into the dining hall.
After hearing that the Third Young Master of the Jun family hadn't yet returned from his outing, the Solitary Eagle generously stated that it was ”quite alright”, and proceeded to tasting the Jun Family's homemade tea while warming up to Jun Zhan Tian and Jun Wu Yi's chatter.
Jun Zhan Tian, being a highly experienced war veteran, lived up to his reputation of being one of the best military generals ever born, and was quick to pacify his shocked state of mind, and was able to greet the Solitary Eagle in a very calm and casual manner, making this unusual incident seem very normal.
Old man Jun deliberately established his Family's reliability in front of his guest quite early on: ”Wu Yi, you must go and see if Mo Xie has returned yet or not; once he returns, you must quickly bring him here. Saving lives is like fighting a fire; one simply cannot afford the slightest of delays.”
Jun Zhan Tian obviously meant something entirely different: [the Solitary Eagle has arrived to our residence in search of medical assistance, but is my grandson even capable of treating his companion? My beloved grandson might have indeed cured my Son's deep-seated ailment, but we haven't really seen much of his medical expertise since then ah, and it will be very detrimental to our cause in case he's unable to live up to the Solitary Eagle's requirements….. ]
Having understood this, Jun Wu Yi naturally didn't mind waiting for his nephew at the door since he anyway wished to know the matter, and didn't wish to allow his nephew to hastily start the medical treatment in case he wasn't equipped to handle it all the way.
However, the real reason why the Solitary Eagle didn't mind these delays is because he needed to find more about Jun Mo Xie before meeting him in person since he had already been informed that the youngster was quite a handful, and was hoping that he'd be able to get a better assessment about the young man's temperament from his family.
”I was asked to come and seek out the young master Jun.” the Solitary Eagle's words were enough to make Jun Wu Yi and Jun Zhan Tian realize that this wasn't just an accident, and they were both left thinking, [So that's what's going on! ]
They had long guessed that their heir must've had some secret dealing since the youngster was already quite powerful, but had remained very tight-lipped about his whereabouts recently. This incident was enough for them to assess that their youngest-generation-heir was indeed a very influential character. [No wonder that he wasn't afraid of facing off against the Xue Hun Manor…. And this is the reason! ]
Old man Jun had actually gone one step further in his assessment and had estimated that his grandson was even more influential than their initial estimate since the Solitary Eagle had been 'Asked to come and seek out' …..his grandson!
[The Solitary Eagle is publicly recognized to as one the strongest men alive; so who could have the power to tell him to 'come and seek out' my grandson? Who's the man pointing him in our direction? ]
[And will this person also reveal himself in the future? ]
Moreover, the Solitary Eagle's attitude at the time of addressing Jun Mo Xie's name was extremely polite and respectful; this was naturally enough to tingle their imagination even further: [the Solitary Eagle has always been known for his rebellious nature, and I believe that even Li Jue Tian wouldn't be able to gain so much respect from such a man! ]
[Well, then who's more powerful than Li Jue Tian in this world? Someone so powerful that even this man admires and respects him? ]
[What does this indicate? This must obviously be the doing of Yun Bei Chen ah! ]
[No wonder ah, with Yun Bei Chen's backing, it's no wonder that Jun Mo Xie wasn't afraid of Li Jue Tian ah! Li Jue Tian is nothing compared to Yun Bei Chen... ]
[This kid has been keeping too many secrets, and has even managed to win over Yun Bei Chen's admiration, but if Yun Bei Chen finds out that he was unable to heal this half-dead man, then things might go backwards for us….. ]
Old man Jun and Jun Wu Yi were even more delighted to hear the Solitary Eagle admitting that he isn't as strong as Yun Bei Chen, but when it comes to respect, even the strongest man in the world doesn't deserve his. They simply attribute the second part of his statement to his arrogant and brassy nature rather than his ambition of challenging Yun Bei Chen when he was ready for the fight!
