453 Abandon?! (1/2)

[And, you want me to act on this…? The circumstances have already spiraled out of my control! So, what action can I take? Can I even dare to act in this situation?]

…

”Your Majesty, what burdens your mind?” Mr. Wen had barely returned from the outside after witnessing Jun Mo Xie's killing spree. He calmly lifted his wise gaze to look at the Emperor, and smiled as he asked, ”Is it… that Jun Mo Xie?”

”Yes.”

The Emperor sighed, and motionlessly gazed at the sunset for a long time.

”I don't think that the Emperor needs to be so worried. I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing in the long run,” Mr. Wen remained silent for a while before he spoke, ”Jun Mo Xie's power is great. And, the Jun Family's power as a whole has also reached great heights. In fact, they had reached a league of their own. However, they don't pose a threat to the Imperial family…”

”They have reached different league, but they pose no threat?” The Emperor frowned. ”What do you mean?”

”That's right. The Jun Family would've become something like the Murong Family if they had been getting powerful step by step. And, they would've had the power to cause chaos in society, and could have flipped the heavens. But, the speed at which their power is increasing is too great. They've leapt from being a regular influential family to an extremely Great Family in a short period of three to four months. He he… Your Majesty, do you know where these Super Families have been positioned since antiquity?”

Mr. Wen smiled slowly, ”Such families occupy very special areas, and aren't interested in the title of the 'Emperor'. So, I'm sure that the Jun Family will slowly fade away from all levels of society. They will wander amongst the clouds, and observe the great transformations. But, they will be indifferent to the changes. This has been the norm since ancient times. And, no Super Family has ever been an exception to this.

”And, that's because these Super Families don't pursue the glory of one generation. Instead, they seek one which endures through the long ages! They laugh at unstable situations, and remain unaffected by them. They are elated, and possess the dark of the world in the palm of their hands!

”Hence, Your Majesty need only be patient for now. This upstart family will cause a storm with their awe-inspiring might. But, they will eventually become tired of the attention. Then, they will settle in their own place. Moreover, having such a Super Family within the borders of Tian Xiang will be a great deterrent against the neighboring countries! The reason for such a huge reaction to that matter between Jun Mo Xie and his sister-in-law isn't because of the Jun Family's old enemies alone — the neighboring countries who see him as a threat have also seized the opportunity to cause trouble. After all, they would wish to create enmity between the Jun and the Imperial family even if they can't eliminate the Jun Family. Otherwise…”

He smiled lightly, ”This is an insignificant affair of this person. And, it may even involve an immoral act with one's sister-in-law. But, why did it give rise to such a huge reaction? Was Jun Mo Xie's reputation ever good? Your Majesty has always been farsighted. So, you need to consider these troubles properly. That arrogant Jun Mo Xie won't act with humanity even if you handle these matters properly. But, Old Man Jun Zhan Tian and Jun Wu Yi will surely regard you kindly…”

”You say this… But, how can I not know…?” The Emperor stood up and placed his hands behind his back. His expression was desolate, ”That's not the problem here… The biggest problem is… the Blood Sword Hall…”

”Blood Sword Hall…? I remember that Your Majsety had said that it was the core of the secret strength at your hand. Ah, I see! This Wen can also more or less figure out the matter if we combine that with Xiao Bu Yu's confession. The truth of the deaths of Jun Wu Hui and Jun Wu Meng… However, the Jun Family has no evidence! Moreover, Jun Zhan Tian and Jun Wu Yi still have the final say in that family. And, those two men have deep feelings towards Tian Xiang City. In fact, they have a lot of sentiment…”

Mr. Wen smiled, ”Your Majesty… it's difficult to turn against one's homeland. Jun Mo Xie may not care. But, Jun Zhan Tian will. So, there's a margin for mediation.”

”Margin to… mediate…” The Emperor's eyes lit up.

”Yes. Those events happened a very long time ago. Your Majesty hadn't revealed anything, but Jun Zhan Tian and Jun Wu Yi are shrewd men. So, how could they not have suspected? What's important here is that the Blood Sword Hall is merely a group of killers despite their strength. So, how could it have influenced the army…? That father-and-son duo has suspected for ten years, but they haven't made a move. They've never carried out any vendetta…. Does Your Majesty know why?” Mr. Wen was calm. He obviously had a card up his sleeve.

”Why?”
