325 Don’t Let Your Fertile Water onto Others Farms? (1/2)
How wouldn't Jun Mo Xie know his mother's name and family name after he had gathered so much information? Moreover, those three men seemed emotionally moved. Their expressions were amiable; as if they were trying to express their feeling upon meeting their next of kin. How could Jun Mo Xie not see that?
However, Jun Mo Xie thought, [isn't this too much of a coincidence?]
[I had just spoken my name… and then I got three Uncles at once?]
Jun Mo Xie forced a smile. He felt at a loss for the first time in his life. He gave a hollow laugh and spoke, ”I, that… he he… my Third Uncle is behind us… Ahem… he will be catching-up soon… therefore… he he… this… also… are you awaiting his arrival?”
”Why is he behind you?” Dongfang Wen Jian raised his eyebrows and asked resentfully, ”Why isn't he in front?”
”Third Uncle is the commander of the main force. So, he'll naturally be moving with them. I'm the leader of the vanguard.” The 'Vanguard Leader' Jun continued, ”I'm to move ahead to clear mountain roads and bridge streams for the main forces.”
Jun Mo Xie burst into sweat the moment he stopped speaking. Even Dugu Xiao Yi and Guan Qing Han couldn't help but burst into giggles. [When has this brat adhered to his duty as a 'Vanguard Leader'? When exactly has he cleared mountain paths and bridged streams?]
[He has opened mountain passes… but only wide-enough for his carriage to pass through. As for bridging streams… what nonsense are you talking about…?]
”What? Jun Wu Yi, that bastard! He sent my sister's son to lead the vanguard? What would he do if something happened to you? Has he no memory at all? Or has he forgotten what happened in the past?” Dongfang Wen Qing spoke angrily, ”My sister has such a great son! Doesn't he have the skills to be made a General? This is absolutely shameful! This is extremely reckless!”
Dongfang Wen Jian and Dongfang Wen Dao also looked very enraged. They seemed to be gearing-up to humiliate Jun Wu Yi.
Everyone was stupefied. [Where was this even coming from? These three haven't even been confirmed to be his Maternal Uncles, but they have already started to shield him?]
”Mo Xie… there are rumors that the Jun Fmily's Third Master has become a debauchee… that he acts tyrannically, and bullies people. They say he acts immorally and… and is a hoodlum… that man… it isn't you, right? Is there someone in your relation with the same name as yours?” Dongfang Wen Qing asked with difficulty. It was evident that he was having a hard time in forming the appropriate questions. Moreover, he was finding it hard to believe them even if they were conjectures…
Jun Mo Xie, Guan Qing Han and Dugu Xiao Yi — and even the four men guarding them — were dumbstruck. A dark line appeared on their foreheads.
”Ah Eldest Brother, what are you saying? These questions are of no concern!” Dongfang Wen Jian addressed his elder brother in a dissatisfied manner, ”Take a look at our nephew. He is elegant, lofty and noble. He has become so capable at such a young age that his skills can shock the entire world. In fact, he even routed our third brother in close combat. Does he look like a low-life debauchee to you?”
”Who was routed by him?” Dongfang Wen Dao spoke in resentment as he refuted him, ”I saw that he was young… Moreover, he's our nephew… I was only trifling with him. Do you think that I would ever lose to him with the skills I possess? Do you believe that I would lose to an infant?”
”Bah! Say that without blushing! Were you aware that he was our nephew at that time? You're just trying to boast in this chaotic atmosphere!” Dongfang Wen Jian snorted with disdain and said, ”Your skills aren't perfect. And, you're only looking to justify yourself. Anyway, you only lost to our nephew; there's no shame in it. So, what are you chirping about? Honestly, you don't have the demeanor of an elder!”
Then, he paused for a moment, and said, ”The same goes for Eldest Brother. He's such a great youngster to have as a Nephew. What kind of Uncles are you to talk such nonsense about your own nephew…”
”I'm only asking!” Dongfang Wen Qing spoke in a dignified manner, ”You two need to shut up!”
Jun Mo Xie's expression became one of embarrassment.
He had rarely ever felt so embarrassed in either of his lives. First he had made a mistake in realizing his relation with his uncles. Then, he had stabbed his own maternal uncle. After that, he had also flaunted his family name. He had thought that his name had gathered a world-shaking reputation in a positive sense, but had then come to realize that it was the exact opposite. He had realized that his name hadn't come to shine like the moon, and had instead become known for its infamy.
A ”pfft” escaped Dugu Xiao Yi's mouth. Then, she burst into laughter. She held her stomach as she started to tremble. She would give Jun Mo Xie a mischievous look from time to time. She would then wink at him, and would start to laugh even harder.
The four guards turned away. They didn't wish for Jun Mo Xie to see their faces contort as they tried to stifle their laughter. Chocked ”pfft” sounds of sniggering continued to escape from their suppressed throats…
Guan Qing Han was able to suppress her smile the most successfully. Though, there were some signs of thawing on her cold face. She was somewhat aware of her mother-in-law's maiden family since she was the Jun Family's daughter-in-law. Guan Qing Han knew that her mother-in-law's family didn't have a widespread reputation. But, she vaguely knew that they possessed great power. However, she was still astonished since the three men who were calling themselves her 'Uncles' were all Spirit Xuan experts.
Guan Qing Han exclaimed. The concerns hidden deep in her heart had been laid to rest. They would surely have to face the Xue Hun Manor in this expedition to Tian Fa. And, she was certain that they would have some conflicts with them since Jun Wu Yi and Jun Mo Xie were present here. However, she felt at ease since such strong Xuan experts were now on their side.
Jun Mo Xie glared, and then scratched his head. He then brought his hands down, and spread them. Then, he shrugged his shoulders and spoke with an innocent look on his face, ”Tian Xiang City… doesn't have any other Jun Mo Xie… and, there isn't any other male in the Jun Family's third generation. But… are you sure that these rumors are about me?”
”Could that person really be you?” Dongfang Wen Qing asked. The three men stared in astonishment. ”Are you really what the rumors claim to be… a heinous and heartless debauchee?”
”Bullsh*t!” Jun Mo Xie's face became dark with anger, ”Who has ruined this elder brother's reputation? Am I that kind of a person…?! This is a cunning ruse! This is extremely absurd! This elder brother is young and promising, kind and charitable, handsome and confident, and epitomes an immortal's bearing! He is known as a 'person of virtue' in Tian Xiang City! A heroic, yet understanding person! He has the bearing of a warrior, and the heart of an artist! It could be said that I'm a well-known name, and everyone praises me! The people who don't know this, don't know…”
