536 Venerable Mei... I Had Recognized You Long Ago... (1/2)
”They have a doubt on me? Are you sure about this? He he… they have always been mistrustful. So, what's so weird about it? But, I don't understand what they doubt me over. What do they know about me?” Mei Xue Yan faintly hung her eyelids.
”Nothing in this world is absolute. So, people look for tiny hints until there's no mystery left. You shouldn't have rushed into action today. You should've let me handle it. In fact, you shouldn't have acted out even when they had attacked me with that pressure!” Jun Mo Xie sighed.
”This would've made them target you! In fact, they would've come after you in case that. The Jun Family isn't strong enough at the moment. So, how could it have endured these waves from the Three Holy Lands,” Mei Xue Yan replied in a faint voice.
Jun Mo Xie had already guessed this. However, he couldn't help but feel moved when he listened to Mei Xue Yan say this. He lowered his voice as he spoke, ”That might not have been the case for sure. I could've used my skills to restrain them. And, I would've handled it so as to flatten the situation. However, you've inflicted serious dangers upon yourself now. You're made yourself a target by doing this. You are so young. Yet, you possess such an imposing momentum that you could make a level three Spirit Xuan expert run for his life. There would be no way of explaining this if one were to evaluate from human standards. Therefore, the only probable explanation for this is… the Tian Fa Forest. However, not many individuals in the Tian Fa Forest possess this kind of strength. In fact, there's only a few. That is what makes Venerable Mei the biggest suspect!”
Mei Xue Yan smiled sweetly and said, ”Do you also have these doubts?”
”I have no doubts about this,” Jun Mo Xie snorted and said, ”That's because I've been certain about it for a long time now. So, why should I have a doubt about it?”
”You're certain about what?” Mei Xue Yan opened her beautiful eyes wide.
Jun Mo Xie stood in silence for a very long time; he didn't say a word. Then, he suddenly turned his body like a tornado, and looked at Mei Xue Yan with his sword-like sharp eyes, ”Venerable Mei, for how long had you planned on hiding this from me?”
”How did you know…?” Mei Xue Yan stared at him with her eyes opened wide.
”What's so difficult to guess in this matter? I've known this since the time you had thrashed my ass outside the city!” Jun Mo Xie groaned with a twisted face, ”No one has ever been able to thrash my ass like that throughout my life as Jun Mo Xie! Furthermore, you managed to thrash it twice! My ass had been left to swell! Moreover, I had felt the same way both the times! And, both individuals had used that 'World Cage' trick on me… Is that the kind of trick anyone can use? I would be a very dumb man if I wasn't able to figure it out. And, the most important fact is that… you couldn't fully conceal your specific balmy fragrance even though you had used a regular woman's bodily odor to conceal yourself. I must admit that the smell was awfully faint. But, it was still enough.”
Jun Mo Xie spoke unhurriedly, ”Perhaps I forgot to tell you one thing — I'm extremely sensitive to smell. Especially if it's an enemy's… or that of a woman!”
”Okay! So, you've been playing with me this entire time?” Mei Xue Yan opened her eyes, and growled at him, ”Did you have fun teasing me like that? Did you have a great time?”
”You believe that I've been messing around with you?” Jun Mo Xie snorted, ”I didn't know that you would be so foolish,” Jun Mo Xie slowly started to walk forward, and gradually came extremely close to Mei Xue Yan. In fact, they had come so close that they could hear each other breathe. Then, Jun Mo Xie fixed his eyes on her, and spoke-up in heavy voice, ”You need to trust me!”
Those two fiery eyes of Jun Mo Xie were constantly gazing at her. His warm breath was heating up her face. Mei Xue Yan suddenly began to panic without any reason. In fact, she had been left flustered. Moreover, this had been happening every time he'd start acting like this. [I've cultivated my strength to be at the peak of this world. But, why do I feel scared whenever I'm confronted with his insignificant sky Xuan strength? Why do I feel such fear? Why does it feel like I'm scared in bones? Why can't I cope up with it?]
She couldn't bear it anymore, and took two steps back. Her face had already started to blush. However, she suddenly put up an arrogant and indifferent expression, and spoke, ”I trust you! But, what are you trying to do by looking at me like that? Are you trying to scare me?”
”I don't want you to make up stories anymore. Tell me everything. You need to let me handle this matter!” Jun Mo Xie once again went to being cheerful, ”They had attacked you once in the past, right? Did they hurt you at that time?”
Mei Xue Yan bit her lip, hung her head to one side, and nodded in a gentle manner.
[This silly girl!]
Jun Mo Xie slowly began to get angry at her again.
”Then, how can you expect that you would be able to work alongside them towards the common purpose of winning the Battle for Seizing the Heavens? Life isn't so pleasant so that you can have such willful expectations. You genuinely believe that this is going to happen? Do you really wish to join hands with those who wish to kill you? You've probably never had any brains. Perhaps your brain has fungi inside it. Now will you tell me what's good for you?”
Jun Mo Xie was unable to restrain his anger at this moment. The more he spoke, the angrier he got. It no longer matter to him as to what he could say to her, and what he couldn't; he said it anyway. His anger was shooting up.
”How they treat me is an internal matter of our continent. However, the Battle for Seizing the Heavens concerns the future of the entire continent's common people. I may be a Xuan Beast in human form, but I can't put the future of the billions of people at stake because of my personal grievances,” Mei Xue Yan sighed and said, ”I would use my strength to its best even if I were the only one on this continent to have such intentions. I will try to appeal to their conscience!”
”But, they might not have one!” Jun Mo Xie had started to worry, ”It is extremely stupid to join hands with a tiger who wishes to hunt you!” Jun Mo Xie genuinely wanted to say something — [Is it your goddamn business to think about the common people of this entire world?] However, saying this out loud might've lead to a huge argument. Therefore, he decided to keep shut.
”Everyone has their bottom line. I'm obviously not going to sit and wait for my death!” Mei Xue Yan smiled faintly. She then gently lifted her eyes to look at Jun Mo Xie, ”You rest assured! Besides, I have to carry on with the responsibilities given to me by the Old Lord.”
”The problem is that I don't feel assured! How is it possible for me to calm my heart down?” Jun Mo Xie wrinkled his eyebrows, ”Ning Wu Qing has already begun to suspect. He's the kind of person who's certain to make a move once he starts to doubt something. And, he will act big… Moreover, they had sent ten Great Masters to capture you the last time… So, their line-up would be even greater this time.”
