799 Arrangements! (1/2)

”Your concern is that little child Yang Mo. Or rather to say, what you are concerned about is not really Yang Mo. You are just unwilling to allow your prior arrangements to be destroyed by me, that is all.” Li You Ran said in a low voice. ”With my ability and wisdom, no one can control me. Yang Mo, or his father, Prince Equivalent Yang Huai Nong, are all unable to! They are not worthy!”

He lifted his head and looked into the distance. ”But I will willingly allow myself to be controlled by them. If I put it this way, I wonder if you understand what I mean?”

Jun Mo Xie nodded his head. ”Looks like you understand yourself clearly.”

”That's right! The two of us are two different people; we are meant to go on different paths. What you seek, I am unable to find out, but what I, Li You Ran, seek, is merely the worldly affairs of this life—the glory and splendor! What I chase is merely power! For the sake of supreme power, I am capable of doing anything. Why can't I allow myself to be controlled by others for the sake of power? And it is merely a superficial level of control!”

Li You Ran laughed. ”All these years, I have always been hiding behind the scenes, coming up with strategies and devising tactics, but I have never revealed myself before anyone. I am capable of being an extraordinary tactician, but the only regrettable thing is that I do not have the presence of a sovereign ruler! My position is most suitable to be beneath only one person, and above everyone else!”

”That is the most suitable place for me! Is Third Young Master Jun satisfied with my answer?” Li You Ran spoke with great determination.

Jun Mo Xie remained silent, but he did not say a single word.

Li You Ran stood before the window silently, also not making a single noise.

These two people—one sitting, one standing—were as still as sculptures.

The atmosphere in the room was shockingly heavy!

After a long time, Jun Mo Xie finally opened his mouth and spoke. ”Li You Ran, if I really retreat, and the three Holy Lands send people again, what would you do?”

”What would I do? What else can I do? I will just speak the truth as it is!”

Li You Ran sighed but laughed bitterly. ”Telling the truth that you had retreated into Tian Fa Forest… They can't pin the blame of letting you leave on me, can they? Six out of nine Saints had died in your hands. It is not difficult to tell the level of your prowess. If I had insisted on forcefully preventing you from leaving, then wouldn't I just be behaving like a fool? As displeased as they will be, they probably can't take it out on me, can they?!”

Jun Mo Xie chuckled. Li You Ran's reply had left him greatly satisfied. He turned around to look at Tang Yuan, sincerity in his eyes. ”Fatty, do you want to leave with me? I'm afraid that they will come after you and take their anger out on you because of your relationship with me!”

Jun Mo Xie couldn't help but genuinely worry for this one and only friend he acknowledged in this foreign world.

Tang Yuan's temper is that of one who goes against the norms. Had it not been for the strong and powerful support behind him, he would have suffered many disadvantages very easily. Furthermore, people from the three Holy Lands are all aware that Fatty is my friend. If I really leave him behind, he is at the greatest risk compared to anyone else.

”I am not leaving! I definitely am not leaving this place!” Tang Yuan announced simply. Then he laughed. ”I am not going to a place like Tian Fa! It has been my aim from young to earn all the riches of the world! Today, I am in the progress of successfully achieving this goal! How could I bear to leave? How would I have opportunities to earn money in Tian Fa? I definitely will not go!”

Though Tang Yuan spoke like this on the surface, he was considering about another matter. Boss, there really is no chance to earn money in Tian Fa Forest. But eating and living will need money! If I do not stay behind to support this place, what will you do? Being safe does not mean that you can have it for dinner! Are you going to rob? Even if you attempt to go robbing, it doesn't seem like there's anywhere you can rob from?

Jun Mo Xie was not surprised by Fatty's response. He had already vaguely guessed Tang Yuan's intentions.

There was no doubt that Fatty was extremely loyal to him. He was willing to take the risk and stay behind for the sake of Jun Mo Xie's future developments. Jun Mo Xie had no doubt about Fatty's efforts on this matter, and he never would!

Tang Yuan really did love his money, but as long as Jun Mo Xie said that he was in need of money, Tang Yuan would definitely immediately empty all his savings and offer them, only keeping an underwear for himself.

But on the other hand, Tang Yuan was an extremely realistic person. And he was one who could be content with small wealth. Although what he sought was definitely 'great wealth', but deep inside, he was such a person.

What Jun Mo Xie advocated was undoubtedly doing as he pleased, determining ally or foe quickly. Whereas what Tang Yuan chased was the same thing, in another form! Tang Yuan adored excitement, liked enjoyment, and loved beauties…. and he especially adored the thrill of using money to crush someone to their death… He termed it as his greatest pleasure!

And this fellow was extremely lazy. Jun Mo Xie had once given him a set of skills to practice, but other than the one time Jun Mo Xie helped him in circulating, he had never picked it up to practice ever again. Not even once did he think of doing it….

Bringing a Tang Yuan like this with him into Tian Fa Forest…. that was as good as cutting off all of the enjoyments and entertainment in Tang Yuan's life!
