438 Jun Mo Xie’s Weakness (1/2)

Li Family.

The doddering Grand Preceptor Li Shang was seated on his official armchair. His face was covered in thick wrinkles. The old man's health had been becoming worse with each passing day.

”You Ran, do you believe that it's time for our family to make our move?” Li Shang looked at his grandson.

Li You Ran was wearing a white gown. His hair was jet-black, and his face looked very handsome. In fact, he had somehow removed the scars that had previously riddled his face. The Young Master Li smiled faintly, ”You're kidding me, Grandfather. This isn't an opportune moment for us to make a move against the Jun Family. It'd be best for us to stay out of it.”

”Oh? Do you have misgivings when it comes to fighting Jun Zhan Tian?” Li Shang's eyes had a complicated light in them.

”No! I have no misgivings when it comes to fighting with Jun Zhan Tian… not even the Blood General. Instead, I have misgivings regarding the Third Young Master — Jun Mo Xie,” Li You Ran sighed and continued, ”Jun Zhan Tian is a fiery character. So, he's obviously difficult to deal with. But, he's a person of noble character. Jun Wu Yi is a military strategist. He wins every battle. But, he is an emotional person. Such people may have divine power, and they may possess unequalled Xuan strength. But, we know their weaknesses. So, we can entrap them while staying hidden. After all, wisdom will always win in the contest of power and wisdom!

”However, that Jun Mo Xie has left me thoroughly puzzled.” Li You Ran lowered his head, and flashed a tranquil smile. However, his gaze became incisive as he hesitantly spoke-up, ”I haven't been able to see what kind of a person that Jun Mo Xie is. I can't sense his weakness either…

”And, this is undoubtedly frightening. I've always been able to see that Jun Mo Xie's character was riddled weaknesses. And, this has been the same since childhood. Each of his weakness was fatal, and would've been the end of the Jun Family. But, I've come to realize that those weaknesses had merely been a ruse now that I wish to deal with him. It seems like I've overreached myself, and gotten duped as a result.”

”Your analysis is very good. You must've observed that Jun Mo Xie carefully,” Li Shang coughed twice. He had been listening to Li You Ran's words very calmly. Then, he spoke, ”But, you must understand one thing. It's true that Jun Mo Xie hasn't exposed a weakness. But, he's still a young man!”

”A young man…? What do you mean, Grandfather?” Li You Ran was somewhat puzzled.

”A young man may be powerful, and he may be very talented. However, a young man is still full of youth and vigor. So, he's bound to be impulsive!” Li Shang chuckled. ”Jun Zhan Tian was able to outdo someone as far-sighted and wise as yourself. That matter hasn't been forgotten until now! And, don't even try to deny this in front of me! And, this is your weakness!”

”Yes!” Li You Ran bowed as he listened to his instructions.

”Second; a young man may be intelligent and calm. But, he's still a mountain of passion. And, that is always a strong weapon against any youngster,” Li Shang narrowed his eyes. ”Jun Mo Xie has never shown it, but it can be concluded that his biggest weakness is women! He cares for women! Take Guan Qing Han for example… or maybe Dugu Xiao Yi!”

”You're right, Grandfather!” Li You Ran bowed and agreed cheerfully. [Experience does count for a lot!]

”Obviously! You regard your heart as 'unfeeling and cold'. But, you also felt dejected when you were planning to deal with Princess Ling Meng, right?” Li Shang's gaze was sharply piercing through his narrowed eyes. ”Don't even try to tell me that you didn't!”

”Yes… I was… at that time… I was very irascible…” Li You Ran calmly admitted.

”And, the third place where we can attack a young man — is his close relatives! Jun Zhan Tian and Jun Wu Yi are his close relatives. His father and elder brothers had died long ago. But, he was too young at that time. So, he might not have felt the pain of losing loved ones. But, he's an adult now. So, he can understand everything. Therefore, he will treasure them twice as much. However, it'll be an incalculable blow to Jun Mo Xie if his remaining relatives were to die at this time!

”I believe that these are the three ways to deal with that unbeatable Jun Mo Xie of yours.” Li Shang warned in an earnest tone, ”There are no enemies who can't be deal with. And, there's no man without a weakness. You must remember this important point well.”

”This You Ran will remember the Grandfather's advice forever,” Li You Ran stood straight. It was evident that he was in awe of the advice he had received.

It couldn't be denied that experience does matter. Grand Preceptor Li wasn't a great scholar. He didn't command great military prowess. He didn't even possess unrivalled Xuan strength. However, he had always held a spot that could compete with Jun Zhan Tian and Dugu Zong Heng for the top-three. Jun Mo Xie and Li You Ran were gifted individuals. And, they had mastered their respective innate talents as well. However, they were still captured by this dismal side of the human nature. And, this made them slightly inferior to these older men.
