404 I Will Never Shirk Away! (1/2)
Baili Luo Yun's mind had formed a target in a flash. He even had a plan by now. But, he didn't talk about it. He was simply going to execute it.
The plan would seem incomplete if he were to talk about it. So, talking about it would be no better than empty words. So, there was nothing to talk about. In fact, it would be meaningless even if he did talk about it.
He had to kill fifty people within two months. So, time was of the essence. Baili Luo Yun carefully placed the white paper inside the chest pocket of his robe. He then looked up at Jun Mo Xie. The young man seemed somewhat relaxed as he smiled and spoke-up, ”I'll get to it then.”
”The sooner the better.” Jun Mo Xie smiled as he patted the other's shoulder and said, ”You must go.”
Baili Luo Yun nodded, turned around, and took a step. It was obvious that he didn't wish to waste any time.
”Wait. Take this!” Jun Mo Xie raised his hand, and dropped a small jade bottle into Baili Luo Yun's. ”There are two kinds of pills in this bottle. The yellow ones can dissolve a hundred types of poisons. And, the red ones can increase your cultivation by ten years.”
Baili Luo Yun clutched the jade bottle tightly. He didn't turn around as he pressed upon the hilt of the sword that hung at his waist. However, his body stopped, and his face had started to belie the emotion and surprise of his heart. But, he showed no signs of hesitation as he suddenly took large strides forward and disappeared from everyone's vision in a flash.
Jun Wu Yi, Solitary Eagle, and the three Dongfang Brothers hadn't said a word to interrupt while Jun Mo Xie had been talking to Baili Luo Yun.
The five experts knew that today's conversation was Jun Mo Xie's means to increase his personal influence… just his own personal influence. However, Jun Mo Xie would never ignore them. In fact, even the very thought of ignoring them would never cross his mind. And, the five hidden experts felt very satisfied in this knowledge.
They knew that their interruption would've affected Jun Mo Xie's authority. The five of them were cunning individuals in their own merit… So, how wouldn't they have known this?
They saw that Jun Mo Xie was finished with his matters. Jun Wu Yi glanced at the three Dongfang Brothers and said, ”Come here, Mo Xie. We have something to tell you.”
The Solitary Eagle smiled and spoke-up, ”You guys talk. This old man will take a stroll,” he said this, spun around, and disappeared without a trace. He had more-or-less guessed what those people were going to talk about. But, the Solitary Eagle had no interest in it. He only wanted to advance through his cultivation's barrier and forge ahead with his new moves. [What do I care about relationships between men and women? What do I care about 'making love'? That's their business.] The Great Master Solitary Eagle was in no mood to participate. So, he slipped away. In fact, he was so lithe that it seemed as if his soles had been oiled.
Jun Wu Yi and Dongfang Wen Qing looked somewhat embarrassed. After all, they wanted to discuss a tabooed subject with someone from the younger generation. In fact, all four uncles seemed embarrassed.
Dugu Xiao Yi and Guan Qing Han were standing at a distance. They looked at each other when they saw the five people move towards the big tent. Then, they also started to move towards it in silence. After all, they also wanted to know why there had been such a big transformation in Jun Mo Xie?
The difference in this 'before-and-after image' was too great! Moreover, it was too strange…
Both of them had watched the recent battle from their position of hiding. And, both of them had distinct thoughts at the sight. Dugu Xiao Yi thought; [He's very fierce! He had endured so much for such a long time. But, he has finally jumped out. I have the best eyesight. I had seen brother Mo Xie first! But, who won't wish to snatch him away…?]
However, Guan Qing Han's thoughts were far more complicated than those of Dugu Xiao Yi's. In fact, she was in a daze as she looked at Jun Mo Xie's back. She thought; [He used to let me…]
[The social position of a woman has always been lower than that of men. Which man would've wanted to be bullied by a woman? To think that I have troubled Jun Mo Xie for so many years…? I've beaten and scolded him so very often. Moreover, I've never had a good impression of him. But, this man of great skill has always been patient. He had behaved in a manner that was held contemptible by everyone else in his attempts to get close to me…]
She recalled that Jun Mo Xie had always trained seriously. But, he had only laughed and behaved like a hoodlum whenever she'd bully him. Guan Qing Han couldn't help as her heart was suddenly filled with a warm feeling…
[He's a proud man. But, he was willing to suffer so much for the woman he loves. Aren't such men rare to come by?]
[It's easy to discover a valuable treasure. But, it's rare to find such a lover.]
[However, this man has shown his true abilities at this time. Moreover, he's about to reveal his exceptional bearings to the world. And, a coincidence I was helpless in made me become his woman. Moreover, he was the first one to acknowledge me as his woman…]
[Could this be fate?]
[But, how could this be so simple? How will we face this later?]
