267 Jun Family’s Ancestral Teachings (1/2)
Doctor Jun Mo Xie took Ye Gu Han's hand and quickly poured pure Xuan Qi into his body. Ye Gu Han coughed feebly. It seemed as if he was being chocked. Thins wisps of blood started to drip from the corners of his mouth.
”Not good!” Jun Mo Xie shook his head and frowned. He raised his head to look at Jun Wu Yi, ”This is a big problem. And the expenses incurred in saving him would be a lot! I'm afraid the expenses will be very huge… extremely huge!” He then looked at Dugu Xiao Yi and Sun Xiao Mei, ”You two, haven't you been through a lot already? Hurry up and go over there; rest for a while!”
When he mentioned 'over there'… he obviously meant Guan Qing Han's court yard.
Jun Wu Yi heard this and realized that he'd need to lend a hand in mediating the situation, ”Niece Xiao Yi, Niece Xiao Mei, try and find Sister Qing Han. Take some rest, ok? We both are here. So you needn't worry. This is not that serious. I have informed your families, and someone will soon come to take you home. Little Ye is from your older generation… but he is a 'man'. Your presence will pose a problem for Mo Xie's effort in healing him.”
Dugu Xiao Yi pouted since she didn't feel very pleased with this. She agreed that Third Uncle Jun was being very reasonable, but this made her feel like an 'outsider'. The little girl then turned her waist. She snorted to show her dissatisfaction and refused to leave. However, she was pulled away by Sun Xiao Mei. The Sun Family's eldest daughter was quite perceptive. She had long-realized that the uncle-nephew-duo had a secret language for communication when there was an inconvenient entity present in their midst.
”You really couldn't find the Princess?” Jun Wu Yi snorted and smiled, ”Would you have returned if you hadn't found her, young fellow? You think I don't know you boy? You either don't make a promise, or you complete the task if you make one!”
”Why do you ask when you know?” Jun Mo Xie continued to pour Aura into Ye Gu Han's body, and started to rectify the placement of his bones. He then let out a helpless sigh, ”Third Uncle, the Princess hates me. But I can't blame her since I act like a degenerate. Ye Gu Han may be cold, proud and aloof, but he's a good man.”
Jun Mo Xie's voice became serious as he continued, ”Be that as it may… our decision to help them may not necessarily have been the correct one. In fact, we shouldn't have saved them! Third Uncle, you must be aware that our Jun Family is not very stable at the moment… yet, we have brought another layer of crisis upon ourselves! I've already made arrangements for this matter, and I'm convinced that no one will doubt my involvement. But I may have left a few tiny clues. Dugu Xiao Yi and Sun Xiao Mei's presence can prove to be a huge risk as well; in fact, it can be a big giveaway! Secondly, you and I know that this man's 'position' is quite sensitive! That could cause a rebellion again us later… that could lead to more problems.”
Jun Mo Xie looked at Jun Wu Yi sternly, ”Third uncle, you didn't think this matter through. This matter could associate the Jun Family with this man; that may not be a good thing!”
”I've already thought over the things you speak of!” Jun Wu Yi returned Jun Mo Xie's gaze in a profound manner and spoke in a dignified voice, ”You must be aware that your dad, your second uncle and I had grown-up and trained with several people. There used to be nineteen of us. However, there's just Ye Gu Han, the three brothers of the Dugu Family, Murong Family's Murong Cheng Long and me; just the six of us remain!”
Jun Wu Yi sighed, ”Now in regards to today's matter — I know that saving Ye Gu Han will make His Majesty uncomfortable. However, he will only feel uncomfortable and nothing more! He has been uncomfortable with Ye Gu Han for the past ten years. So it's not like this is the first time… but how will I face my thirteen brothers in the otherworld if I change my decision now? Even your great-grandfather wouldn't forgive me! And even if the unlikely happens and your great-grandfather forgives me — I won't be able to live with myself after self-introspection! Therefore, I will continue with my efforts to save him!”
”Etch this into your heart, Mo Xie — a 'Jun' never describes himself as a man with a noble character! We're forever in gratitude! Men are born to act when something is not right; men set such matters straight! Our Jun Family's descendants have persevered for a long time with this pride! And this has always been the case. Your great-great grandfather, that is, your grandfather's grandfather was just a common blacksmith. However, he imparted a very important lesson to my grandfather when he was about to die…”
Jun Wu Yi's voice became solemn.
”What did my great-great grandfather teach?” Jun Mo Xie was somewhat inquisitive.
”Having balls does not make you a man! It is the incomparably indomitable spirit which does!” Jun Wu Yi slowly declared these fifteen words.
He had no choice but to relay these teachings even though the wording was quite vulgar and didn't embellish the teachings in any way.
”… Having balls does not make you a man! It is the incomparably indomitable spirit which does…” Jun Mo Xie muttered these lines for a while. Initially, he wanted to laugh. But then he realized that these words were turning more and more to his liking.
”The great-great grandfather taught well!” Jun Mo Xie cheered loudly and became somewhat excited. He then said, ”It seems that this ancestor wasn't even lacking at the death's door! He was still a 'real man'!”
”Correct! Innumerable people have p*nises under their crot*hes on this earth, but 'real' men are very few! 'Man'? What is a 'man'?” Jun Wu Yi looked at his nephew with a hawk like expression.
”A 'man' is someone who stands tall! He has a will of iron and a loyal heart! He is a man of character with an incomparably indomitable spirit!” Jun Mo Xie laughed loud as he spoke this in a carefree manner. The sentence he had spoken had actually broadened his mind. It relieved him of any worry.
”Correct! If a man is a coward, is overcautious and is too fond of life… and if he fears death… he cannot be considered a 'real' man — not even if he takes a hundred wives and fathers eight hundred children!” Jun Wu Yi laughed heartily, ”A will of iron, and a loyal heart; a man of character with an incomparably indomitable spirit! Well-said!”
”I merely admire the last eight words of this ancestor's teachings!” Jun Mo Xie laughed in a carefree manner, ”This line is very much to my liking. It feels like a 'God' has penned it to my liking! I can use these eight words in my conduct, and be worthy of my ancestor's name!”
Jun Wu Yi smiled, ”Correct! His words may seem vulgar and uncultured, but they have a magnanimous and open-minded message inside. His words are truly great!”
