548 The Jun Family’s Reputation (1/2)

”But, I'm very interested in knowing something… How did you upgrade your strength?” Feng Juan Yun gazed at him without blinking. He was martial arts maniac. So, the various methods of upgrading strengths were of utmost importance to him.

”I've consumed a magic pill,” Solitary Eagle groaned as he replied. It seemed as if he was harboring a bellyful of frustration. [I've told him the truth. But, will he even believe me?]

”I believe you!” Feng Juan Yun solemnly replied in an authentic tone. [How could he have upgraded his strength so speedily without the help of some mysterious pill?]

Solitary Eagle was left dumbfounded by this… [This guy is very clever!]

The two Great Masters entered the back lounge of the hall. However, the other guests were bustling with excitement inside the hall. They turned their eyes to look at Jun Zhan Tian and his son. However, the expressions in their eyes were entirely different at this time; [How great is their reputation? One Great Master is watching over their house. And, another Great Master has arrived here to congratulate them…]

Song Shang's trembling voice was heard again at this time, ”The Great Master of Life and Death — Shi Chang Xiao has arrived to congratulate Third General Jun on adopting a daughter. He has also brought a jade Ruyi to express that he wishes good fortunes!”

Boom!

Another surprising turn of events!

The other guests looked no different from chicken which had been scared witless by a clap of thunder. They were looking-on in daze, and had no idea as to what they were supposed to say…

Great Master Shi Chang Xiao walked in with a broad smile on his face. Jun Zhan Tian personally greeted him inside the hall in an affable manner. It must be said that Old Man Jun had been calm and unflustered throughout his life. However, he couldn't help but feel somewhat proud at this moment.

[Who has such a reputation in the entire Empire?] Old Man Jun suddenly felt as if this was the brightest day of his entire life!

[Moreover, all of this is happening because of my grandson! What more could a man want if he has such a Grandson?] Therefore, Old Man was feeling somewhat smug. In fact, the smile on his face had already stretched beyond his ears…

Then, suddenly…

”Cold-Blooded Great Master Lei Wu Bei has come to congratulate Third General Jun on this momentous occasion of adopting a daughter. He has presented a precious sword as a gift,” Song Shang's lips stuttered and his eyes nearly jolted out.

[I hadn't expected this cold-blooded madman would also show up. Moreover, he has also brought a gift?]

There was pin-drop silence in the hall.

Everyone present in the hall had started finding this increasingly difficult to believe; [Has this world lost its mind?! Is it possible that the Eight Great Masters have arrived here to attend a meeting? Why are these people arriving one after the other?]

[Four of them have already arrived by now!]

[This is the Jun Family's reputation! Fu*k! And, those rotten scholars had thought that they could bring down this family… Did they even know what they were messing with? They only had a little bit of strength… And, they wanted to take-on this family? They were blind! They brought that disaster upon themselves…]

Everyone had suddenly started to look at the Jun Family's members with expressions of awe and respect in their eyes. The volume of their internal discussions had suddenly changed to whispers. It seemed as if they were scared that speaking in a loud voice might provoke those four deadly Great Masters who were seated therein! [That would be terrible. Each of these four Great Masters can deal with an ordinary influential family with ease! In fact, they can kill one off in no time!]

The Emperor was seated in the first row of the main hall. However, his expressions had suddenly become very complex. The heads of every big-shot noble family had been given seats of importance. And, the same was true for the people from the influential Xuan families. In fact, they had been left with no scope of making a complaint. However, everyone still had serious and complicated expressions in their eyes. It was hard to tell what they were thinking about…

The Emperor faintly sighed after a while. Then, he said, ”It turns out that the Jun Family has a great reputation. He he… it makes us somewhat envious!” He had clearly spoken this in a joking tone. And, everyone had laughed out with him. However, everyone knew evidently knew one thing in their hearts; [His Majesty didn't mean these words as a joke.]

[A Great Master is the kind of personality even an Emperor will have a hard time in inviting over. In fact, even an Emperor might not succeed in inviting one over. So, having four of them over for a celebration is something the Emperor can't even dream of. However, these four have arrived at the Jun Family even though they probably weren't invited. After all, it seems that they invited themselves. What does this indicate? Isn't the indication rather obvious?]

Guan Family's Lord — Guan Dong Liu's mouth had remained open throughout this entire time. In fact, his smile was so broad that it seemed as if there was a red line drawn between his ears. Every hair on his body had seemingly stood up in excitement. After all, he had never even dreamt of such a grand occasion. In fact, he couldn't even dare to think about it.

After all, the entire Guan Family had lost their face after that matter about Guan Qing Han's affair had become public. In fact, people had even started to say that the Guan Family's moral education wasn't very stern.

Even the servants of the Jun Family were feeling honored and glorified. They were walking around the aisles with their chests out and heads held high. Even their waists were straightened… [This is our reputation! Three Great Masters have arrived to congratulate our Third Master!]

Li You Ran was also seated amidst the crowd. However, his face had turned pale when he had watched his master entering the hall. In fact, his heart had filled with agony! [I've suddenly realized that the disparity between me and Jun Mo Xie has become as massive as the one between heaven and earth…]

[I'm afraid that it's useless to hope that I can catch-up on this massive disparity!]

[This guy was busy with cock-fighting when I was training and studying with full devotion. This guy was busy enjoying with women when I was planning strategies to improve my financial position! Everyone used to praise me. So, I obviously thought that this guy was nothing in my comparison. So, why haven't I been able to make any headway while this guy is taking his family to the top? Why?]

[How can this even happen?]

[I've suffered so much to follow my dreams and to fulfill my desires. I've endure the kind of loneliness an average person can't even hope to bear. I've even ruined my own love-life. However, I've suffered such a massive blow at a time when I thought that I was close to attained success!]
