304 The Dispute Over the Medicinal Dans, and Guan Qing Han’s Breakthrough (1/2)

Grandpa Jun wasn't worried on the first day. Jun Mo Xie's strength wasn't weak, and he had full confidence in his own abilities. In fact, he had stated that he could defend himself against a Great Master if need be. Could anything be more dangerous than that? Grandpa Jun had no idea where Jun Mo Xie had gone off to, but he was more focused on planning a Great-Grandson for himself…

However, Grandpa Jun and Jun Wu Yi couldn't help but get worried on the next day. [He hasn't come home for two days and two nights. What's the matter? This has never happened before! Could it be that he is busy indulging himself in pleasures and has forgotten about his duties towards the Family?]

Finally, they lost their cool on the third day. After all, his claims of being able to defend himself against a Great Master hadn't been confirmed…

Grandpa Jun became extremely anxious, and ordered an emergency throughout the capital. He also dispersed his troops everywhere. The Jun Family's secret force was dispatched, and they searched every corner of the city. Then, the Jun family dispatched more troops in disarray since they couldn't find him. Hai Chen Feng and the Jin Yan Gang also initiated a comprehensive search. The gangsters and the soldiers had taken initiative to work hand in hand in this instance! Grandpa Jun and Third Uncle personally led the search, and were thorough like a sieve. They searched each shady area in the city — multiple times.

Third Uncle's complexion was extremely unsightly. He was extremely vicious during this search. Each word that came out of his mouth was unsuited for a cultured man's speed. He would first strike a person, and then… he'd abuse. Grandpa Jun's speech was also very fierce. [Damn it! I will carry out a detailed search… even if the sky falls! And, I'll kill anyone who doesn't cooperate!]

[I'll break your legs if you dare to utter a word! You dare to slack-off after I broke your legs? Should I go for your skull as well?]

The brothels were shut down and raided. The same was especially true for the wretched Spirit Fog Lake's most infamous establishment: Ni Chang 'Rainbow' Pavilion. That was certainly on top of the list.

They further went on to take the Madame and the pimps of the 'Rainbow Pavilion' into custody. They even intercepted and arrested Lady Yue'er. Apparently, Lady Yue'er had been touring every influential family's residence in order to showcase her skills. Every brothel was falling-over itself in an attempt to hire her. But, she had planned a big tour. And, she was barely done with half of it when she was intercepted by the soldiers led by Jun Wu Yi, and was then taken into custody…

But why?

What reason could they have to capture a prostitute?

Everyone knew the relationship between the Second Prince and the 'Rainbow Pavilion'. But, this incident marked the first time when the Second Prince sent his own 'Mastermind'— Fang Bo Wen — to intercede on his behalf. He had counted on the Jun Family's honor. He was ordered to return only after they had released Lady Yue'er. But, Jun Wu Yi's face was extremely cold when he passed his judgement, ”Get lost!”

It was said that the venerable Mr. Fang flew into an epileptic rage on the spot.

Then suddenly, the Third Young Master Jun re-appeared… in the midst of all that chaos.

The beggar-looking Young Master Jun appeared in his courtyard like a starving re-incarnation of a stray dog. He sped to Jun Family's Kitchen like a fish that had just escaped its net the moment he appeared.

Little Ke had bathed her face with tears. She jumped in fear at his arrival. Though, she couldn't even see his shadow when she turned her head to look at him.

Little Ke then hurriedly went and informed Guan Qing Han. In-turn, she informed Jun Wu Yi that the Third Young Master Jun had returned safe and sound.

After that, the two females proceeded towards the direction Jun Mo Xie had disappeared in. They were extremely shocked when they reached the kitchen.

Jun Mo Xie's dress was ragged, and his hair was disheveled. His face was pale, and there were two pouches beneath his eyes. He looked like a wretched animal. His hands were skinny and black like a chicken's claw, and his boots had holes which revealed his toes. He'd grabbed a fish with his left hand, and put it into his mouth. He then pulled hard in the opposite direction; only the fish's skull and bones came out of his mouth.

He held a lump of beef in his right hand. He didn't even seem to chew it as he stuffed it down his throat. A bowl full of soup was placed in front of him. He'd occasionally choke and let out a strange cry. Then, he'd lowered his head, and smashed it in the bowl. He'd ignore the strange sounds of his actions as he'd empty half-the-bowl in one go.

Beneath him… was a pile of bones, fish bones, and bits-and-pieces of meat…

The chubby chefs in the kitchen were behaving as if they had been struck by lightning. They stared foolishly at the famished incarnation of the Young Master. Their faces twitched. He was eating too much.

[Crap! Even a pig… no… even a wild boar can't eat so much at such an unbelievable speed!] They felt dizzy as they witnessed that spectacle.

Guan Qing Han and Little Ke rushed over and caught up. They were very indignant. [You little debauchee! You disappeared to god-knows where. You left home for three days without even leaving a message! Could you at least think about how worried everyone else is?] The sister-in-law wanted to teach her brother-in-law a lesson. After all, she was an elder relative. But, she was dumbstruck by this sight, and was unable to say anything.

[These kind of table manners?!] The eyes of the eldest daughter of the Guan Family opened wide. And, she covered her small mouth as her expression turned to that of shock. The generally cold and beautiful face of the young woman had revealed this look for the first time…

Little Ke's delicate and small mouth opened-wide as she stared startled; one could stuff two duck-eggs in her mouth.

Eventually, Jun Mo Xie sighed with satisfaction. Then, his head went down again to finish the last bits in the soup bowl, and raised it back once its white base was visible.

Then, he raised one leg and kicked at the pile of bones… which had nearly reached his ankles. The Young Master then hiccupped in satisfaction. After that, he took-out his throwing knife, and calmly started to pick his teeth. He then saw everyone's expression… the one that had surface on their faces after witnessing such a strange event. He couldn't help but ask in bewilderment, ”Is my face flowering?”

Everyone was speechless.

They were speechless for a long time. They wondered if anyone could say anything after witnessing something so shameless.

”What have you been doing these past days?” His sister-in-law, Guan Qing Han, asked in a dignified and interrogative manner once she came back to her senses.

”Me? In the past few days? Hah…” Jun Mo Xie immediately guessed what had happened. He then sighed as he shook his head, ”I was extremely busy these past few days; extremely busy! Unlike you all — who slept till they were hungry, and ate till they were satisfied. You had nothing to do… except for taking care of your physiological needs.”

[What did he say?] Guan Qing Han bristled as she spoke fiercely, ”What did you say?”

”What did I say? He He… I said that sister-in-law and Little Ke look increasingly beautiful every time I see you. Especially sister-in-law! Not only do you look very attractive, but you also look younger. I believe that people who don't know that you're my sister-in-law will think that you're my younger sister if you carry-on at this rate!” Jun Mo Xie honeyed his words as he uttered this nonsense.

Guan Qing Han and Little Ke were stunned. They knew that his words were an overstatement, and were aware that he was only trying to flatter them. But, they still felt delighted at being praised. Their mood changed, and a funny expression surfaced on their faces as they started at him speechless. Guan Qing Han's face became taut after some time, ”Third Uncle has returned. He'll make you feel better.” She finished and pulled Little Ke away with her.

Qing Han had been right. Moreover, she hadn't exaggerated one bit.

The Grandpa Jun and Third Uncle rushed back to Jun Mo Xie the moment they heard of his return, and burst-in furiously like a storm. The Young Master Jun's hair turned white at the sight of this, and he started to splutter…

The Young Master Jun was barely able to withstand the concentrated thunderstorm of the berating. But, he wanted to show-off his achievements. So, he then cleared his throat and took out the Mysterious Yang Dan, the Devil's Heart Dan and the 'Ten Years' Dan. But, the two big shots continued to scold him violently.

Erm… these Dans were very good. Though, they couldn't be taken in concentrated doses. The Mysterious Yang Dan could be taken once every ten days. And, it would be fine to take a regular dose for health purposes. But, the 'Ten Years' Dan was a one-time affair; it would be useless to have it regularly… in fact, it would be a complete waste.

Grandpa Jun and the Third Uncle picked the Dans with their fingertips. But, judging by their facial expressions… they didn't look very convinced. After all, the Young Master Jun had said that the efficacy of these Dans were miraculous. They looked at Jun Mo Xie with doubtful expressions. [You cheating demon! This little Dan can increase cultivation by ten years? That's rubbish!] The same thought emerged in both men's brain.

However, they felt their cultivation shoot-up frantically after they took the pills under Jun Mo Xie's administration. They felt their skills had risen to a level of ten years or more. Their expressions turned green as the Young Master's. They stared at the Young Master Jun like a pack of… hungry wolves!

”This is such an amazing thing! How many of these are there? Hand them over to this Old Man! I'm happy again. So, don't make trouble for me! I'll have none of your nonsense, you little brat!”

This was Grandpa Jun's roar. His face had flooded with excitement. He grabbed the front of Jun Mo Xie's gown, raised him in the air, and shook him like he was drying a dead fish in the wind.

The Old Man greedily opened his mouth wide as he spoke those words in a tyrannical manner.

”Since your grandfather has opened his mouth first… you must serve his needs before anything else. I'm not that important. You come round to me as you wish. Just hand over a hundred dozen bottles to me. You must give the remaining to your grandfather; no matter how many you have in total.” That's what Jun Wu Yi had said. He wanted more than a hundred-dozen bottles of these Dans.

[This father-and-son duo thinks that these Dans have fallen from the sky? And, one can just pick them from the ground? These are medicinal dans with genuine efficacies!]

Jun Mo Xie groaned. He had been dizzied by the shock…

[Even if I could merely pluck them from the ground… I'd still need to work my back! These medicines are amazing supplements… But, these two think that they are like cabbages…? How can they demand such a large amount…]

Could these two men kill Jun Mo Xie over these pills? They had conveniently forgotten about their grandson/ nephew / and their Family's sole heir in the lure of these Dans! Grandpa Jun was pulling Jun Mo Xie's cheek in hostility, and had nearly transformed his appearance into that of a pig's. Jun Wu Yi was slightly gentler in his approach. He was only addressing to Jun Mo Xie's logical sensibility. Else, Jun Mo Xie's face would've turned purple from all the 'pulling'.

[Did he faint in front of us? We have misjudged this brat's intentions. We have erred and counted our chickens before they hatched!]

The Young Master Jun let out a blood curdling cry. He wanted to burst into tears, but couldn't find any tears to shed. ”I can't do it anymore… I will faint… I can't do it anymore… you two… please let me off!”
