Chapter 326 - The People Who Courts Death Comes (1/2)

After hearing Shi Junhe’s words, Dong Hui realized it but still thought that there was something wrong. “It was in the past, and nobody is sure about it now. Moreover, judging from the way they stay together, even if the people concerned don’t notice it, others can find something amiss, as it is improper.”

Shi Junhe stayed silent for a moment, admitting that it was the truth.

Sometimes, even if the people involved didn’t have the feelings, it was helpless that gossip was fearful.

Shi Junhe knew this point, yet when it happened to Shi Qingxue and his beloved daughter should take the consequence, he could hardly accept it.

“Alas. Even so, you can’t drive Qingxue to the family temple. Even if she goes to a villa in the capital city, the environment will be much better than that in the family temple.” At the thought of the poor environment of the family temple and Qingxue who had been spoilt since childhood, Shi Junhe couldn’t bear to see it even though he knew that the girl could bear hardships.

“But in that case, we will have no reason, and if the news spreads, others will gossip.” Dong Hui subconsciously spoke out the real reason.

However, she saw that Shi Junhe’s expression changed in an instant, so she hurriedly shut up as she realized that she might have said something wrong.

Shi Junhe’s face was terrible-looking, and he asked in an angry tone, “Is people’s gossip more important than your daughter to you?”

Dong Hui was speechless after hearing the question.

Although she knew that it was not right, she was fed up with the others’ groundless talk. Shi Junhe had never attended the noble ladies’ parties, so he didn’t know how unpleasant to hear the gossip was, but she didn’t want to hear for the second time.

Moreover, she still thought that Shi Qingxue was wrong in this matter, so when she made the decision, her choice was understandable.

However, after Shi Junhe said that, Dong Hui still felt embarrassed and couldn’t find a word to retort.

So she turned away in silence, without looking at Shi Junhe.

Anyway, it was set in stone, and Qingxue had gone to the family temple, so no matter what Shi Junhe said, it was useless.

Shi Junhe was amused by Dong Hui’s rascally action. He was mad yet could do nothing to her.

He didn’t dare to say anything harsh to her. If Dong Hui was irritated and there was something wrong with her, he would regret it.

Duke Shi could do nothing in this matter, so he had to send Shi Jie to take more things to the family temple, and then Shi Qingxue wouldn’t suffer from too much injustice there.

Shi Junhe was easy to convince, while Mo Junyang was difficult to handle.

Perhaps Mo Junyang hadn’t reacted when he heard that Shi Qingxue went to the family temple in a hurry, yet when the news that Shi Baoning and Wenren Chi came to Duke Shi’s mansion was revealed to him, he understood everything.

When Mo Junyang got the news, he was practicing swordsmanship in the backyard of his mansion.

In the beginning, he looked calm when Wei Zichao whispered in his ear to tell him about this matter. Nobody could see any emotions on his face. Then he just forced Wei Zichao aside and continued to practice swordsmanship.

Qu Yuebai looked at him attentively and thought that the master’s swordsmanship was more and more accurate and sharper.

However, Wei Zichao found something unusual.

Mo Junyang’s swordsmanship was not only accurate and sharp, but every move could take people’s lives, with killing intent.

Even Wei Zichao, a warrior was shocked by Mo Junyang’s momentum. He couldn’t help but move a few steps backward, in case that he was affected.

“What?” Qu Yuebai looked at Wei Zichao who had moved backward in confusion and still didn’t understand.

Wei Zichao smiled bitterly and pulled Qu Yuebai back. He thought that their boss was in a rage and couldn’t be offended.

In the beginning, Qu Yuebai wondered if Wei Zichao was overcautious, and then he looked back at Mo Junyang after he was absent-minded for a moment.

Mo Junyang had stopped and stood in the middle of the backyard quietly. There were fallen branches and leaves swept by his sword spirit all over the ground around him.

When Qu Yuebai looked up, the tree was bare.

No, it was more miserable. Only a straight trunk was left.

Imagining what would happen if the sword spirit swept him, Qu Yuebai soon had cold sweat all over his body in shock.

Gee, it was so horrible.

Qu Yuebai looked at Wei Zichao in panic, indicating, “What should we do now?”

Wei Zichao shrugged and looked at him, with a faint smile. “How do I know? How about you go up to ask him?”

Qu Yuebai trembled at once and shook his head repeatedly.

It was no joking matter. He wouldn’t court death.

However, some people who courted death came soon.

“Brother, you are excellent in swordsmanship. I really admire you,” Qi Zhengdao stated. He had been registered in the pedigree and reported to the imperial clan, so his name had been changed to Mo Zhengdao. He stood on the other side of the backyard and applauded.

Mo Junyang sheathed the long sword and glanced at Mo Zhengdao, asking indifferently, “What’s the matter?”
