475 A Despicable Conspiracy (1/2)

Jun Mo Xie's tall body was straight, and his face had a sneer as he set his gaze on Dugu Wu Di, ”Don't say that I must do this for the Dugu Family's reputation! In fact, I won't even do it even it was the Emperor's request! I won't save anyone's face now. In fact, I can't do it!”

Dugu Wu Di's lips squirmed. He felt very exhausted, ”You can't do it? Can't even… Young Master Tang do it?”

”I request you to not speak of it. You and my third uncle are friends for life and death. So, I only ask you this — what would you do if you went out with my third uncle and someone pushed him into a dung pit?” Jun Mo Xie asked coldly.

”Fu*k that! Who'll dare to do it?! I'll destroy his entire family!” Dugu Wu Di became enraged, ”Who dares to mess with my Third Younger Brother?”

”Would you still ask me to stand down in that case?” Jun looked at him in bafflement. His face was cold, but he was still elated. [General Dugu has always been a great friend!]

Dugu Wu Di was left tongue tied. In fact, he wasn't even able to say a single word.

[Honestly… I would also feel the same way if I were in his shoes!]

Jun Mo Xie turned his knife-like glare towards Huang Shu Liu, ”Moreover, he must've had a reason since he has done this. Don't tell me that you don't want to know what that is?”

”No. I didn't do it! Why are you arbitrarily saying that I did it? Tang Yuan had fallen inside the pit due to his own carelessness! How does it involve me? Why are you levying these accusations against me?” Huang Shu Liu suddenly jumped up. His spit was flying everywhere. After all, he knew that his Huang Family couldn't provoke the Dugu Family, or the Jun Family… or even the Tang Family.

This meant that he would be done for if he sat on those charges. In fact, his entire family could face the danger of being destroyed.

Jun Mo Xie reached out with his hand, and pressed Huang Shu Liu head. Jun Mo Xie's movements were dull and slow. And, Huang Shu Liu had clearly seen Jun Mo Xie's hand approaching, but he couldn't have avoided it even if he had wanted to…

He looked stumped at Jun Mo Xie's right hand on his head. He then felt an abundance of powerful and hard-to-resist surge of energy seeping into his body. This energy then took control of each part of his body. In fact, he couldn't even close his eyes of his own desire if he wanted to. Then, he heard Jun Mo Xie's voice echo in his ears, ”Open your eyes, and look at me!”

Huang Shu Liu couldn't help but open his eyes and see. However, he only saw a pair of eyes right in front of his own. Then, these eyes squinted and slowly turned into pools of inviable depths. He suddenly started to feel a subtle sense of drowsiness. And, everything started to seem like a dream to him. Huang Shu Liu did his utmost to struggle, but only to find that the two deep pool-like eyes had somehow turned into vast and starry skies by now…

The brightest of starry skies… the most brilliant of starry skies…

That cluster of stars glittered as he felt himself floating… he felt that he was lost in the boundless sky, and had no goal or direction to look towards.

Then, he heard an exceptionally mild and amiable voice. However, the voice seemed quite unclear and remote. In fact, it resembled an extremely warm lullaby. It unexpectedly made him relax. In fact, it made him lower his guard. This voice in his ear made him feel as secure as he used when he would lie down on his mother's lap in his childhood days.

Huang Shu Liu's expression turned from incredulous exhaustion to an extremely amiable one. It was also full of longing and comfort… and even extreme relief.

”What is your name?” the voice was still gentle. It resembled a spring breeze that had caressed a willow branch. But, the fragrance of flowers was still lingering in the wind. It was similar to a mother's whisper… or loved one's consolation.

”Huang Shu Liu…” Huang Shu Liu's face had a pleased, relieved, and gentle smile on it.

…. ….

”What… were you doing last night?” Jun Mo Xie asked gently. Some of the Dugu Family's people were standing beside him. And, all of them had a look of extreme astonishment on their faces. [There's such a terrible method in this world which can control a person's mind…? A person will delightfully reveal his deepest secrets under the effect of this technique!]

[This is unbelievable!]

”Last night… last night…” Huang Shu Liu's gentle expression suddenly turned somewhat sinister, and somewhat pained, ”I was at the Dugu Family's residence last night…. And, I heard that they were hosting their future son-in-law last night. Damn it…”

”Oh? What does that have to do with you? And, what did you do about it?”
