Chapter 164 - Mo Junyang’s Weakness (1/2)
Mo Junyu was forced and had no choice. Even if he lacked confidence, he had to agree. “Prince Yelü, since you have an interest, I will keep you company. But please give me some time as I need to get changed first, okay?”
There were two kinds of men’s clothes in the Mo Country. One was tight fit for daily life, and the other was specially designed for sports, as military uniform.
Yelü Anchen didn’t have so much to consider. Their people were nomads and few of them made clothes, and most of the fabrics were exchanged from the neighboring countries. Only the royal members and nobles could afford to wear fabric clothes. Who would get changed before fighting?
But Yelü Anchen wouldn’t admit that they were poor. He just looked unhappy. “Aren’t we just going to spar? Why do you have so many rules? Are you afraid of me?”
“How come? Since I want to fight with you, I should come when I am at my prime. And it’s to show my respect to you, right?”
Yelü Anchen thought for a minute and believed it was right, so he nodded and let Mo Junyu go.
When Mo Junyu left to get changed, Yelü Anchen didn’t want to stop. He crooked his finger at Wei Zichao, with provocation and boasted without shame, “I hear that you are the No.1 warrior in the Mo Country? After I defeat your crown prince, let’s have a fight. Let me see how incapable the No. 1 warrior in the Mo Country is!”
He looked lofty and despised everybody. It seemed that he had won Mo Junyu and then could beat up Wei Zichao.
Wei Zichao was a marital arts master, but he didn’t like to win or fight. He saluted and replied modestly, “I am just a bodyguard of His Highness and can’t deserve to be the No. 1 warrior. There are many people who are superior to me. Prince Yelü, thanks for your praise, but I am not that good.”
The people from the Liang Country had never known what was modest, and Yelü Anchen looked down upon everybody. He didn’t find that Wei Zichao was being modest but thought he was powerless. So he snorted. “Gee, all people from the Mo Country are cowards. You don’t even have the courage to fight with me. It’s ridiculous.”
Yelü Anchen insulted too many people. No matter how good-tempered Wei Zichao and others were, they couldn’t control their anger. They were anxious to beat up this prince from the Liang Country to let him witness who was a real martial arts master.
But Mo Junyang was present. Even if his subordinates wanted to have a fight, they had to be ready for their boss’s orders. They needed to restrain themselves.
Only Shi Qingxue dared to say something at this time.
She curiously looked at Yelü Anchen and Wei Zichao several times. Now she knew what fighting was, but she disliked Yelü Anchen’s arrogance.
She whispered to Mo Junyang, “Who is this? He likes fighting so much and must be a bad boy!”
Even if Shi Qingxue called him jerk, Mo Junyang would echo her with a smile, so he certainly wouldn’t object to her “honest” complaint.
He touched Qingxue’s head while smiling, showing an expression to indulge her. “Whatever you said is right.” He didn’t notice that the people from the Liang Country turned ghastly pale in rage after hearing her words.
Yelü Anchen stomped out of anger and cursed, “Idiot, what do you know? You don’t have any ability but dare to judge me. Trash!”
In fact, Yelü Anchen didn’t know about Shi Qingxue’s current condition but just felt that she was abnormal. He didn’t think much and cursed because she was a woman, and he couldn’t beat her up.
Yelü Anchen thought he was generous, but after he finished his words, it became silent on the spot all of a sudden, and even the sounds of breeze could be heard clearly.
Even if Prince Yelü was thoughtless, he found something wrong. But he didn’t realize that he had hit Mo Junyang’s weakness accurately and was courting death.
He even held his head high and questioned arrogantly, “Why don’t you speak? Do you all think you are too weak and don’t have the face to say anything?”
Mo Junyang smiled but there was no joy on his face or in his eyes, which made him more frightful. “Prince Yelü, all of us have seen your ability and admire you.”
His tone was gentle and pleasant to hear, and his words were sincere.
But the others were frightened by this voice to move a few steps backward and subconsciously got away from Yelü Anchen.
The devil was going to explode, and if they didn’t want to be affected, they would have to keep a distance from the chief criminal.
Yelü Anchen didn’t know anything and nodded with satisfaction, responding more haughtily, “You are a nice talker.”
It happened that Mo Junyu came out after getting changed. Seeing that his people were alert and more panicked than going to the battlefield, while all people from the Liang Country were complacent, he asked in confusion, “What’s going on?”
He had just left for less than fifteen minutes. Why did it become so weird?
Mo Junyang even turned to smile at him and explained softly, “Nothing. It’s just that I admire Prince Yelü’s braveness. Your Highness, hope you can give me a chance to learn martial skills from him first.”
Mo Junyu was petrified. In the beginning, no matter how he winked at Mo Junyang, the latter refused to fight. Why did he ask to fight with Yelü Anchen now?
Of course it was okay with Mo Junyu, but Wu Yalei didn’t agree.
