Chapter 934: Mo Jun Ye
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"So nothing must happen to you, and the same goes for her! Plus with the unique status as the little princess of Misty Illusory Manor, naturally she is slightly more important than you, who only has the Free and Natural Physique…" Cao Guo Feng scoffed as if he were a little peeved by the fact that there was someone who was above his own disciple and he could not do anything but to accept it…
"The most crucial thing: if you offend her, in the future, you can forget about tasting even a tiny bit of the Seven Colored Holy Fruit!" Cao Guo Feng warned. "Because her father and her mother are the ones who are supervising the Spiritual Herbal Gardens."
"Ah?" Jun Mo Xie thought to himself. Those two from before who I must not offend, I'll definitely be offending them, but this one… is really one who I cannot offend…
"Right, you haven't told me the name of that female ancestor? How does she looks like? I can only be prepared if I know roughly how she looks ah!" Young Master Jun pressed on, taking the opportunity to find more information about that girl.
"Female ancestor? You mischievous boy, knowing how to give others a nickname! But using this term to describe that girl is rather appropriate!" Cao Guo Feng chuckled, shaking his head.
"Didn't you say she is someone nobody can afford to offend! Then what else can she be other than an ancestor! How does she look like? Is she ugly or pretty? I cannot possibly shun any lady I see right? Then, I'll end up being the one who has problems." Young Master Jun was really intrigued to find out more about this 'female ancestor'.
Spiritual Herbal Gardens; this name was indeed rather poetic. But the most important thing was that that was where the tree of the Seven Colored Holy Fruit lay! And it seemed that there was not only one. This was a heaven-defying treasure.
Young Master Jun was originally a little disappointed but…
He suddenly remembered the unique ability he had – the Power of the Five Elements!
Especially the Power of Wood that he had not used in a long time!
The moment this thought popped up, Young Master Jun was about to break into maniacal laughter! This Seven Colored Holy Fruit will only be able to bear fruit after 500 years in someone else's hands, but in the hands of this Young Master… As long as I have sufficient Spirit Energy as foundation, this daddy will be able to make it bear fruit 365 times in a month!
*When that time comes, there's no problem treating the Seven Colored Holy Fruit as a regular fruit tree, arranging them in different patterns for display in the living hall! Back to the same old sentence: There were always only things that people could not think of, but there was nothing that could not be done! Isn't this proof again? *
So he definitely must go to this Spiritual Herbal Gardens. And the security there will definitely be extremely tight… no matter what, caution was of utmost importance. If this female ancestor was offended, it would definitely cause many many other troubles…
There was one common knowledge from the previous life and this life: All women are petty… Just that some of them look more seductive, that's all…
If a lot more implications arose out of offending this female ancestor… then the gains would not make up for the losses!
*So if there is a need, as long as the girl's appearance can still be accepted… This Young Master can also consider making a sacrifice and selling his body out… although I'm being taken advantage of and is likely to be called one that is living off a woman, but… so be it! Who asked me to be a man; when I should be hard, I can be extremely hard, but when I should be soft, I can be soft… *
"That girl is called Miao Xiao Miao. She is always donned in light yellow clothing. Not only is she talented, she's the number one beauty amongst the younger generation of the Misty Illusory Manor! It's just that her personality is a little eccentric and not easy to get close to. But that's good; it'll save a lot of unnecessary troubles."
A gentle smile of adoration was on Cao Guo Feng's face when he mentioned Miao Xiao Miao. This Miao Xiao Miao was clearly very adored by him. And this sort of adoration was not directed to Young Master Jun.
"Miao Xiao Miao… Number one beauty…" Jun Mo Xie suddenly thought of a possibility. I wonder if this Young Master is able to profit both wealth and beauty this time? As he thought along, the Young Master Jun, whose certain 'part' that hadn't been getting any relief, transformed into a wolf, drool was almost falling out of his mouth. He mumbled to himself. "Since she's so beautiful, then I'll find a time and just do her, then that'll be…"
Cao Guo Feng was instantly enraged upon hearing this. He immediately grabbed onto his ear and hollered, "Brat! If you dare to do her! This old man dares to guarantee that you will be done by all the old seniors of Misty Illusory Manor in less than two hours!"
Young Master Jun didn't imagine that he would unconsciously say it out, so he was caught in a bad situation. He was pretending to be severely wounded, so naturally he could not dodge, instantly getting caught by Cao Guo Feng. *Of all places to grab, you just had to grab that place… That seems to be the exclusive place that my mother Dongfang Wen Xin uses… *
Just as he was cursing away mentally, he heard Cao Guo Feng's harsh warnings. Young Master Jun's heart turned cold, instantly feeling his chrysanthemum clenching, as his intestines twisted. Cold sweat poured out profusely. All those indecent thoughts were instantly frightened away…
Suddenly, Cao Guo Feng asked, "Lad, how old are you this year?"
Young Master Jun said bashfully, "I'm eighteen this year… They always say eighteen years old is a flower in full bloom… Why? Are you going to host a Hundred Flower Festival for me?"
"Get lost!" Saint Emperor Cao was angry but amused, landing a kick on Young Master Jun's bottom. Jun Mo Xie cried out aiya and used that force to run off.
Cao Guo Feng looked at his backview and mumbled to himself. "Eighteen years old… To think that he is a year younger than that girl, if… it should still work, this old man will also be more than happy to see it happen… but those two fellows have been pining for so many years. How would they be willing to give up so easily? Disciple, you can play and create all the trouble you want and it'll be alright, but just don't go and offend that huge trouble for this old man ah… if that happens, I'm afraid even this old man cannot mediate…"
Since he walked out of the little courtyard, Young Master Jun instantly felt relieved from head to toe. Without all the supervision from a few old fellows and surrounded by an amount of spiritual sense, there was a sense of long awaited freedom, as if a tiger had returned to the wild.
Subconsciously, Jun Mo Xie couldn't help but walk with wide strides, humming to a Beijing opera tune that no one could understand. "Remembering… the matter from that year… how very distressing, I'm just like… a bird in a cage… with nowhere to spread my wings, I'm like a tiger that has left its mountain… and suffered loneliness. I'm like the goose that flies from the South… separated from the rest of the group…"
He walked out from the doors as he sang, both his hands behind his back, shaking his head, full of the air of the number one debauchee of Tian Xiang City in the past.
Behind him, two middle-aged man secretly tailed after him, their faces expressionless.
These two people were the disciples of Cao Guo Feng. Right now, they were on the duty of protecting Jun Mo Xie. And Young Master Jun would naturally also need to change his name in this place. He would be called Mo Jun Ye.
Mo Jun Ye. Mo Jun Xie; there was another homonym meaning which was… also Evil Monarch 1.
It could be seen that the evil personality in this Evil Monarch didn't change…
Slowly strolling out of that remote alley, the scenery began to become more and more bustling with life. There were restaurants and sweet-sounding chords of instruments all about, and there was even the occasional voices of story-tellers. The bustling scenery was not inferior to Tian Xiang City or Chrysanthemum City…
"That's a city in front? Or is it a small town?" Jun Mo Xie turned around to ask the two bodyguards.
The two men looked at him and replied expressionlessly. "There are a total of seven cities in the Misty Illusory Manor. They are the Psychedelic City, Magical City, Purple Fantasy City, Golden Fantasy City, Blood Fantasy City, Heaven Fantasy City, and Heart Fantasy City. This place, including the place we had walked out of, all belongs to the central region of Misty Illusory Manor, the Heart Fantasy City! Away from the rest of the common world, the few li of road ahead are where the common people reside… All the needs of the Main Palace of the Misty Illusory Manor are all purchased here."
Jun Mo Xie hummed in response.
The other person said, " Young Master came from outside of the Misty Illusory Manor, so perhaps you are not aware of the culture we have here. Although the members of the Main Palace are above worldly creatures, but they do not view the common folks differently like ants. All the young masters and young ladies in Misty Illusory Manor often come sightseeing here daily. In fact, most of the people are gathered here, which is probably why this place is the most bustling region of the Misty Illusory Manor."
The meaning behind his words was more or less a reminder or warning. He must have been told by Cao Guo Feng to absolutely not let this little master stir any trouble.
"I understand now; thank you for your information." Jun Mo Xie chuckled and asked. "Oh right, I heard from Old Cao that there is a Spiritual Herbal Gardens in Misty Illusory Manor… which City is this mysterious garden located in?"
That cold looking man replied, "The Spiritual Herbal Gardens… you better not try to find out about it." He paused for a while, as if feeling like he had sounded a little too threatening, before continuing. "The Spiritual Herbal Gardens is not in any of the cities… in fact, that garden is not even within the space of this Misty Illusory Manor!"
Jun Mo Xie was stunned!
F*ck!
*What sort of b*llshit is this? Not in the Misty Illusory Manor? Could it be in Xuan Xuan Continent? Then why did I come here for? For a stroll? To sightsee?! *
"Not in the Misty Illusory Manor? Could it be in the outside world? Could it be somewhere in Xuan Xuan Continent?!" Jun Mo Xie asked, clenching his fist.
"Of course, it is still within the regions of the Misty Illusory Manor, but it is not within this space." That bodyguard stared at him for a long time before answering carefully.
"In the Misty Illusory Manor, but not in the space! What does this mean?" Jun Mo Xie pondered for a while. "Could it be that there is one or more independent unique spaces in the Misty Illusory Manor, and one of it is used especially for storing spirit herbs? And that space is called the Spiritual Herbal Gardens?"
"That's more or less the case; Young Master is intelligent. As excepted of the talent of the Free and Natural Physique." The two of them praised indifferently. But Jun Mo Xie could tell from their tone that they didn't mean it.
Looks like these two are not very satisfied with me. Young Master Jun scoffed mentally. *It seems like I've snatched both their positions with my arrival alone; of course they will not be convinced. But… you can keep that to yourself; now that I could tell, aren't you guys just digging your own graves? If this matter is known by Old Cao, you'll definitely not have it good. *
The trio was not slow in their movements. They quickly arrived in the city. Right now, Jun Mo Xie was like Granny Liu 1 who entered the Prospect Garden 1, exclaiming and praising everything in sight.

Chapter 935: City's Officials?…
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
There was no other reason; the moment he stepped into this place, Jun Mo Xie practically thought that he had returned back to Tian Xiang City and was about to go around looking for Tang Yuan's Aristocratic Hall.
This place is really no different from the outside world…
The two bodyguards behind him exchanged glances, seeing the unfeigned look of contempt in each other's eyes. The one with the Free and Natural Physique? Pei! It's just a complete country bumpkin who had just entered the City! He has never seen the world! To think that the Free and Natural Physique has befallen someone like this; the Heavens must be blind, to cast pearls before swine, wasting resources…
He can even spend such a long time looking at someone selling vegetables… The f*ck, don't tell me you haven't seen a greengrocer before?…
This place was the main street of the Heart Fantasy City. There were numerous stalls on both sides of the street, some selling handmade ornaments, carvings of small birds and animals. There were also some that sold fresh greens and food stalls and toys… The interior of the shop fronts on both sides were also a delight to the eye. All sorts of things were available.
There were countless signboards of wine shops along the street, it was a majestic sight to behold. The smell of cosmetics drifted from everywhere, leaving people intoxicated in a drunken stupor. There were also occasional giggles of females that could be heard—yes, they arrived at a brothel…
There were some people donned properly entering this place, and there were also people coming out with no strength in their legs… Their faces were full of satisfaction as they lingered in the aftertaste. The customers entering and exiting the wine shops were endless, and waves of the aroma of wine filled the entire street…
"It is really lively ah." Jun Mo Xie exclaimed sincerely. This place seems to be livelier than Tian Xiang City by a bit.
Casually tossing a copper coin, he grabbed a stick of tanghulu 1 . Jun Mo Xie munched as he walked, dirtying his entire face with the sugar coating and didn't even bother to wipe himself.
"Sweet! Delicious! Truly yummy! One more!"
The two behind him exchanged looks again, feeling utterly embarrassed following behind this fellow… The thought of this country bumpkin garnering all the attention of the Misty Illusory Manor the moment he arrived and being worshiped like an ancestor by Cao Guo Feng… the two of them felt completely bitter!
Heavens! Earth! Buddha and Jesus ah… Open your eyes! Hurry up and send lightning down to strike upon this fellow…
This is really insufferable ah…
Just at this moment, a group of fierce-looking people came rushing over, all of them holding a white-waxed rod in their hands. The were dressed untidily in their hats and robes, but every one of them hand an ominous glint in their eyes.
"The City's Officials are here; everybody run…" It was not known who was the first to let out such a cry, but all the peddlers along the street panicked and fled in all directions.
"City's Officials?" Jun Mo Xie looked at all these people with his eyes wide open. F*ck… To think that this place is so advanced! They already have City… Officials…
His sudden halt instantly drew the attention of one of the guys. "What are you looking at? You've never seen this daddy before? Look some more and I'll dig your eyeballs out! You little b*stard!"
Jun Mo Xie staggered. This bunch of people are too bold, to dare to offend me without knowing who I am! But little did he know that with his current appearance, even if he was donned in dragon robes, he looked nowhere like a Crown Prince!
But all the other few people had already began using their rods to chase people. There was even one who delivered a heavy kick to a peddler that did not manage to flee in time. He lifted his rod high and hammered it down as he cursed and assaulted the peddler violently, casually snatching the bag of money from the peddler and shoved it into his own pocket.
Then he continued to rain blows upon the peddler, as he cursed. "F*ck your daddy! You have been selling for a whole day but you only earned such a pathetic amount! Are you ashamed?! You still have the cheek to come out and set up your stall? Why don't you go and die…"
That peddler curled into a ball, grabbing his head and crying for mercy. His entire body was covered in blood…
A prostitute exclaimed and laughed lovably, taking the opportunity to strike at an influential figure. Yet that man instantly glued himself over, hugging her lustfully in broad daylight, and began to tease her without any restraints…
The other few men watched this scene in jealousy. They walked into shops on both sides of the road, their faces full of annoyance. Stepping on the table, a menacing look in their eyes, they bellowed, "Collection time for protection fee! Hurry up! F*ck, you're sick of running your business, aren't you? Moving so slowly, f*ck you! Do you believe that this daddy will make your close shop tomorrow?! Hurry the f*ck up!"
Then the shop owner came over with a polite smile, bowing in greeting. First, he offered up countless silver taels, then he secretly shoved some things into the pockets of the few men…
These few men touched their pockets before a look of joy appeared on their faces. With a whistle, they exited the shop and continued to plunder along the street…
"What sort of people are these? Why are they so tyrannical?" Jun Mo Xie was stunned looking at this very familiar scene. His intestines were cramping a little: he suddenly felt like he had transmigrated again…
The two bodyguards barely had the time to reply when that burly man not far from Jun Mo Xie was already pissed. He stormed over. "Why? Lad, you're trying to find out who I am?" Then, he grabbed a passerby and kicked him to the ground. He stomped on that unlucky fellow's chest and said, "Tell this brat who these daddies are!"
That passerby was walking cautiously on the road, practically walking sideways in fear of bumping into them, but who knew such an absurd disaster would fall from the sky. He cried out pitiably, his tears and snots flowing down as he quickly replied, "Sir, Sir is the manager of Heart Fantasy City, Sir is the upright and honorable official for us common folks ah…"
That burly man scoffed, clearly satisfied. He lifted his leg up and let the person go; that person quickly ran away without looking back. This burly man looked at Jun Mo Xie from the corner of his eyes. "Did you hear that? Brat, come over obediently, acknowledge your mistake, and kowtow to this upright and honorable Sir. Then, use that pink little tongue of yours to lick this daddy's boots clean… and I'll let you of! Otherwise, hehe, you are a spy! If I go through the trouble, you're going to be in it for good!"
"I'm a spy?" Jun Mo Xie almost broke out in laughter. "How did you know?" This great 'City's Official' is really wise, to be able to tell I'm a spy from one look; impressive, impressive, so many Saint Emperors and other stronger experts couldn't even discover this…
That's right, this Young Master is a spy! What are you going to do?
"You're not a spy?" That burly man laughed maniacally, the black hair on his chest trembling. "Even if you are not a spy, if I say you are a spy, then you are a spy! Why? Don't look at me so angrily; be careful this daddy beats you to death right here! Even if this daddy really kills you, you will be dying in vain!"
"I understand what sort of people you are now…" The look in Jun Mo Xie's eyes turned cold. To think that there were such people everywhere regardless of which world! I've really widened my horizons. The so-called Misty Illusory Manor, the land of peace and equality, is no different!
The two bodyguards behind him watched on with a smile. Watching how this country bumpkin was going to resolve this matter. They were aware that although this country bumpkin had shocking talent and the Free and Natural Physique, he had barely mastered any high level Xuan cultivation and may not necessarily be able to deal with this current problem. As long as he can't settle it on his own, then we don't have to worry about him begging the both of us for help.
But what followed after left both of them too late for regrets.
"The two of you! Come here! Kill this scum for this Young Master!" Young Master Jun ordered. Since there was free labor around, why would Jun Mo Xie take the risk of exposing his real identity to handle this matter himself? "Hurry up! Otherwise I'll go tell my Master, say that I was bullied outside and the both of you were just watching the spectacle! You think Master would believe me or you both? If I really suffered any injuries, how do you think Master will take care of the two of you?!"
The two men instantly looked at each other. They had not expected that this brat who seemed to have no shrewdness to actually do something like this. If he really went back to complain… no matter if it was true or false, the two of them were doomed to be unlucky!
This brat not only could complain to Cao Guo Feng alone—there were still six other Saint Emperors!. Which one of them did not view him as their baby?
If… then the future of the two of them would really be doomed!
If he exaggerates things a little too much, then those few Senior Saint Emperors will probably tear the two of us alive! That is definitely not something they'll feel any pity for!
These two people were Spirit Xuan experts. With their own level of cultivation, they were not beneath Solitary Falcon back then. Right now, they were full of anger, but they couldn't do anything to Jun Mo Xie, so they took it all out on this bunch of 'City's Officials'.
Pa! A slap landed on that man's face, sending him flying and spinning in the air, his broken tooth flying out of his mouth as he spun along…
The other person leapt into the air and yelled, "All of you blind bastards! Gather here for this daddy! If you do not come here in ten breaths, then forget about coming forever!"
This was proof that a Spirit Xuan had immense might no matter where they were! These 'City's Officials' all trembled and their legs turned jelly from the sight…
They had not imagined that they were only out to enforce the law, but they had offended such a big shot…
Eight men walked over honestly in less than five breaths, quickly standing into single file. The two bodyguards did not say a single world, just raining punches on all of them! As they beat them up, they were feeling extremely frustrated. We are Spirit Xuans; although we are no big deal in the Manor itself and are not some high, supreme extreme, but… beating up ordinary people like this is really a first…
This was too aggrieving!
The two of them may be rough, but they were well aware. It's alright to teach them a lesson, but we must not beat them till they die! After all, the cleanliness of the City is relying on these people… besides, this is one of the basic constituents of the Misty Illusory Manor…
But after the two of them stopped, they were all shocked!
The eight people on the ground were still crying in pain earlier, but right now, all of them were bleeding from all their eyes, ears, nostrils, and mouth, their eyes bulging and themselves completely stopped breathing!
They were all dead… not a single one was alive!
What is going on? Although we didn't hold back in our strength, but we didn't even use our Xuan strength, so it is only the strength of a regular human. There's no way they could have been beaten to death ah…
Chapter 936: Zhan Yu Shu

Just at this timing, the onlookers from the crowd finally cried out in shock. "Someone died, Somebody has been killed!…"
It was hard to tell if the one who cried this was scared or excited or laughing at the misfortune. But all in all, after this cry, all the owners and workers of the shops on both sides turned pale and hurriedly closed for the day in a frenzy…
Beating a City's Official to death ah, how big of a deal was this…
Whoever wanted to be implicate could continue to show their own faces…
A few youths riding on horses came from the other side of the long street. The one right in front smirked upon looking at the scene before him, bemused by it. "Ya, aren't these the two great envoys under Saint Emperor Cao? What's wrong? You're in great spirits today! To be interested in killing a few City's Officials for sport? A cultivation level of a Spirit Xuan, killing the City's Officials, who are mere ordinary folks, truly mighty and impressive ah…"
The two bodyguard's faces instantly darkened.
They turned around to look for Jun Mo Xie, only to find that this fellow had already disappeared. Then, it suddenly occurred to them that the loud voice that cried out, 'Somebody has been killed!'… seemed to belong to this fellow… No wonder he was so excited…
"The two of us brothers offer our greetings before Young Master Zhan." The other party may be young, but he had influential background, and the two bodyguards knew that they could not afford to offend him, so naturally they did not behave rashly.
As it happens, this handsome, tall young master before them was the first person Cao Guo Feng had nagged at Young Master Jun to not offend.
Zhan Family—Zhan Yu Shu!
Even the other youths behind Young Master Zhan were all the descendants of the few big families in Misty Illusory Manor. These two brothers could not afford to offend any one of them.
Cao Guo Feng,and the forces around him did not fear them, but they would also not try to have any clashes with these families. Everyone had a mutual understanding to maintain harmony on the surface.
For example, if Young Master Jun had met with these few young masters of the worldly families, Cao Guo Feng would naturally stand up for him and would be willing to even fight against them, but if these two bodyguards offended these few young masters, Cao Guo Feng would definitely not stand up for them and would even punish them severely. Chasing them out of the Manor and ridding them of their skills was also possible. This was a matter they could not do anything abou. They were all the same—humans—but they had different lives!
"Wang Neng, Li Jie; I heard that… the two of you have a new young master now?" Zhan Yu Shu narrowed his eyes as he looked at them contemptuously, as if he were looking at ants. "I heard that… he's some Free and Natural Physique? I heard that… he is really powerful? Is it?"
He had used 'I heard' thrice in a row and intentionally dragged his tone out, not hiding a tiny bit of his contempt and disdain. The few youths behind him broke out in uncontrollable laughter.
One of them opened their mouth and said, "What Free and Natural Physique; it's probably a country bumpkin only. Probably a bastard that was picked up from god knows where, compared to our Big Bro, he's just a pile of feces!"
Another person added, "Calling him a pile of feces is already lifting his status. This young master has read numerous books, and although I do not dare to claim that I know everything in the world, but I have never heard of some peculiar physique called the Free and Natural Physique. A bastardly thing that wormed out of nowhere, trying to make us bow to him with something that has never been seen before, he is really retarded! With Big Bro Zhan around, which young man in Misty Illusory Manor dares to proclaim himself first! A frog that lived at the bottom of the well, overestimating his own capabilities, an arrogant barbarian that comes from the filthy mortal world!"
Zhan Yu Shu maintained his smile, a proud look on his handsome face. But if one looked more closely, it could be noticed that in the darkest parts of his eye, there was a calmness that was focused on the faces of the two before him, not letting go. He was also observing the bunch of people following behind him through the corners of his eyes.
If Jun Mo Xie was present, he would definitely be able to tell that this legendary Young Master Zhan was no idiot! But it was a pity that he had already slipped off to elsewhere.
"Young Master Zhan is right. Saint Emperor Cao has indeed taken in a disciple with the Free and Natural Physique. The reason why we are here is to accompany Young Master Mo to visit Heart Fantasy City." Wang Neng said, his face turning slightly green.
Zhan Yu Shu carefully caught the change in color on Wang Neng's face, chuckling with his eyes narrowed. "In this way? Didn't all the eighty years the two of you spend waiting bitterly go up in smoke? Pity ah pity, it is really a pity!" He was speaking of pity, but his tone was full of mockery at their misfortune.
The moment he said this, Wang Neng and Li Jie's faces changed instantly.
But Zhan Yu Shu continued to ramble on, continuing in an extremely haughty tone. "Haha, thinking of all the open and covert fighting the two of you did all these years to achieve the position of Saint Emperor Cao's successor, yet all of that has gone to waste now. This Young Master can't help but laugh; it's too hilarious hahaha, all those decades of hard work, yet everything went to someone else. I believe both of you are feeling extremely comfortable internally?"
Li Jie's face darkened, but he still dared not show his anger. He let out a bitter laugh. "Young Master Zhan must be joking. How could the two of us have our current achievements if not for Saint Emperor Cao's guidance back then. Saint Emperor Cao's greatest wish is to find a successor that he is pleased with, and now that he has found one, the both of us are extremely happy for him. There is only joy, nothing else; Young Master Mo's Free and Natural Physique makes him a divine talent. For 10,000 of years, only the Nine Nether First Young Master had this sort of extraordinary physique! So his physique can be said to be unrivaled throughout from ancient times till now. No matter how we may think otherwise, we are sincerely convinced and ready to concede! Young Master Zhan's last sentence was extremely right; the two of us do feel extremely comfortable internally!"
Zhan Yu Shu chuckled coldly. This reply was humble and polite and put himself down, but there was an underlying meaning. And it was a rebuttal to what his own friend had talked about in terms of his physique! Mocking that his own physique was nowhere close to that person who came later! No matter how he flattered himself or worked hard, it was all useless. That was a fact, and he was only humiliating himself by arguing otherwise…
Zhan Yu Shu's face instantly darkened after hearing Li Jie's words.
"Is there a need to argue?! Two trashes that were casually tossed away by your own families, good-for-nothings who followed for decades only to become a replacement! Bullying ordinary people with your strength of the Supreme Golden City, culprits who brutally killed the Officials of Heart Fantasy City, and you dare to mock this Young Master?" Zhan Yu Shu's face was cold and sinister. "Men! Capture these two men! Hand them over to the prison to await sentencing!"
The moment the order was given, the countless number of bodyguards rushed forward.
Zhan Yu Shu had a cold and merciless look in his eyes like a vicious tyrant. He looked at Wang Neng and Li Jie disdainfully and said, "These two people have ignored the laws of the Misty Illusory Manor and challenged the lawmen, using cruel methods to kill eight innocent Officials on the streets, staining the ground with blood. They're heartless, cruel and vicious. All of us saw it and are eyewitnesses! Their crimes are undeniable, and in the name of righteousness, we law-abiding good people shall assist the prefectural magistracy of the Misty Illusory Manor to detain these two culprits before us! If there is any resistance, they'll be killed regardless! Anyone who kills them will be excused for their crimes for taking them down!"
Wang Neng and Li Jie took a step back instantly, their faces green. "Young Master Zhan, we are all from the same family and all belong to Misty Illusory Manor. There is no need to be this ruthless, right?"
Zhan Yu Shu scoffed. "Pei! You two scums actually dare think of associating with this Young Master? It's not talk about how that is impossible, but so what even if you are able to? This Young Master is currently carrying out justice for heaven, ready to punish one's own family if justice demands it! The both of you blatantly ignored the laws, murdering so cruelly in the middle of the street, and the officials of the city at that!"
The six Spirit Xuans behind Zhan Yu Shu approached them with a villainous grin. Wang Neng and Li Jie's face turned as pale as a sheet, instantly falling into utter despair. They were cursing at Jun Mo Xie mentally…
"Young Master Zhan, the reason this happened is because these blind fools offended our Young Master. And the reason why the two of us intervened is because we were given orders. We have our own difficulties and had no choice! Young Master Zhan, we are all aware and clear; since someone has died, why don't we wait for the authorities to come and resolve this matter? Why must we take matters into our hands? Besides, it is only eight City's Officials who died… it's no big deal! Why must we blow the matter up and make things ugly for everyone!"
"Your Young Master? That country bumpkin surnamed Mo? That person with the Free and Natural Physique? He is also here?" Zhan Yu Shu's mind instantly shifted to the location of Young Master Jun.
Wang Neng instantly replied him while thinking internally. We had just said we were accompanying him on this trip, and now you are pretending that you didn't know that…
"Tell the law management of the City that this Young Master will temporarily intervene in this matter; tell them not to pursue it for now." A sharp glint appeared in Zhan Yu Shu's eyes. "Bring the two of them to Drifting Fragrance Lodge. Spread the word that Young Master Mo Jun Ye is to come at midnight personally to Drifting Fragrance Lodge to collect them! If he doesn't arrive on time, then these people shall be handed over to the authorities and punished according to the law! Paying with their lives for murder!"
A couple of people responded in acknowledgment. Wang Neng and Li Jie also heaved a sigh of relief. The few young masters behind Zhan Yu Shu also had a look of excitement, all thinking of how should they make things difficult after this Young Master Mo Jun Ye arrived.
Chapter 937: Girl in Yellow

As to those few City's Officials who died… to these people, it was just a small matter! Not even worth mentioning; if they wanted to destroy the entire law enforcement department, it wasn't a problem at all…
All these City's Officials were essentially a bunch of ruffians. How important could their deaths get…
Wang Neng and Li Jie exchanged looks, understanding it all now. It turned out the real objective of Zhan Yu Shu was that Mo Jun Ye and not the two of them. They were just very unlucky to become the pawns for them to initiate this clash…
The reason why he had gone such a big round was merely so that he had a good reason which made it harder for Mo Jun Ye to redeem the situation, that's all…
But the two of them weren't worried at all; instead, they were relieved. As long as they were out of the mess, that was good enough. As to that Mo Jun Ye… who cared if he was dead or alive? It would be to their wishes of he was tortured to death by Zhan Yu Shu…
That country bumpkin should just die; the earlier the better…
So the two people followed Zhan Yu Shu's underlings very cooperatively to Drifting Fragrance Hall, determined to cooperate with this show to the end. There was no worry about Cao Guo Feng knowing of this matter… it was indeed Mo Jun Ye who gave the order to take action. People died because of him. This was not made up; it was the truth…
Zhan Yu Shu raised his brows and narrowed his eyes and mumbled under his breath. "Mo Jun Ye… Also Evil Monarch… this Young Master Mo really has an interesting name! This Young Master wants to see how this Mo Jun Ye is 'Also Evil Monarch'. Forget it if you don't come, but as long as you come… This Young Master will let you know how powerful Zhan Yu Shu is! I'll guarantee it'll be unforgettable! What Free and Natural Physique… Hehehe…"
He turned around and left, his steps light and carefree.
As to Young Master Jun, he was already on another street. He was not interested in bothering with the things over here. He had already successfully caused trouble for those two, so Young Master Jun quickly slipped off…
As to those City's Officials who suddenly died, obviously it was the work of Young Master Jun. He was extremely clear that Wang Neng and Li Jie would not kill people according to his command; after all, murdering Officials on the street had dire consequences…
In fact, regardless of the consequences, both of them would not willingly and obediently carry out his orders…
But Jun Mo Xie just could not stand the sight of those people! Not only those City's Official scums, but Wang Neng and Li Jie too. So when they were delivering their punches, Young Master Jun secretly directed his spirit energy into the wounds that the duo had inflicted, ruthlessly drilling it in, shattering all the arteries of the City's Officials! With Young Master Jun current achievements, even Wang Neng and Li Jie couldn't escape from death!
Stealthily and unnoticeable!
What was the point of keeping all those vermin? Even if they really contributed to the security of Misty Illusory Manor, from their actions, they still deserved to die!
Regardless of his previous life or his current one, Jun Mo Xie would never show mercy to such people! But he really didn't have much thrill in killing them this time.
So depressing…
Now that he had no one tagging along, Jun Mo Xie felt extremely refreshed. Strolling about and looking around, he still discreetly dispersed his spiritual sense in all directions, carefully observing which direction was more rich in Spiritual Qi, which direction had the greatest fluctuations in Spiritual Qi, and which directions had experts…
Through this scout, Jun Mo Xie couldn't help but be taken aback. In this entire Heart Fantasy City, the place with the densest Spiritual Qi was the place he had exited from; but in this City, there were countless powerful spiritual sense that were lingering about in the air…
Although they were drifting along their own paths, they were present in all directions, encompassing the entire Heart Fantasy City within it…
But this was also something to be expected. How could a place where Saint Emperors dwelled not be a crucial and important location? How could the core region where the power and influences of the Misty Illusory Manor lay not have experts guarding it!
Jun Mo Xie was secretly impressed. As expected of the legendary Misty Illusory Manor, the distribution of peak experts in this place were hundred folds of the outside world… a force like this, if directed against someone, even the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master who had fully recovered may not have it easy in this place.
No wonder that fellow didn't kill his way into the Misty Illusory Manor and had to aggrieve himself to ask me to help him loot his weapon back. So it was all because he had apprehensions about this place…
Young Master Jun was deep in thought when he suddenly detected an unusually strong spiritual sense coming towards him. In a blink of an eye, it was already close by. And at the same time, there was an elegant fragrance that assailed his nostrils, carrying a hint of coldness within it. As if someone had used their powerful spiritual sense to firmly lock on his location.
Jun Mo Xie scoffed coldly in his mind. This spiritual sense is strong compared to average, but it is not enough for Young Master Jun to be bothered by. Right now, the search for the Seven Color Holy Tree was his priority, and it was best to avoid as many of all these minor things as possible. He had no interest nor mood to deal with something like this.
Jun Mo Xie wanted to turn around and leave.
He had just spun around when he saw a young lady donned in bright yellow clothes walking up to him with a smile. She stopped before him, scanning him with eyes full of curiosity. Her clear voice rang out: "May I ask if you are the successor of Saint Emperor Cao, Young Master Mo, Mo Jun Ye?"
This young lady was fair and well-proportioned in her built, and the dimples on her face appeared as she smiled and looked at him with bright eyes, her head slightly tilted. She was probably about sixteen years old.
Jun Mo Xie was stunned, he asked politely, "This young lady is?" Young Master Jun was most scared when people treated him politely.
"This maid offers my greetings to Young Master Mo." The young girl bowed and smiled bashfully. "Young Master Mo, my young lady would like to invite you over to meet her. I wonder if Young Master would be willing? Can I trouble you to make the trip?"
After saying it, she pointed to the side and looked up. "My Young Lady is waiting for Young Master's arrival over there."
Jun Mo Xie rubbed his nose and laughed bitterly. "Young lady, you are impressive; you've forced me to the point I cannot refuse, yet you still dare to ask me for my opinion. It shall be as you requested; let's go over to meet your Young Lady."
This girl was extremely polite in her speech, there was no problem with that. The problem lay after she pointed over, Jun Mo Xie had completely lost all reason to refuse. Because her young lady was standing right there watching him ah…
If he didn't go over, he'd really be offending her!
He had just arrived here, and she was able to recognize him already, so naturally she had quite a background, most likely a relative of one of the higher ups of the Misty Illusory Manor… Jun Mo Xie could even tell from the clothes of this girl, that her young lady was very likely to be the 'third person he cannot afford to offend' in the Misty Illusory Manor!
The most beloved granddaughter of the Palace Lord of the Misty Illusory Manor, Miao Xiao Miao…
Jun Mo Xie shook his sleeves, a helpless look on his face. The girl couldn't help but burst out in laughter seeing his comical behavior.
"Lass, what's your name?" Jun Mo Xie asked as he walked.
"Aren't you ashamed? Young Master, you may not be that much older than me, but you are calling me a lass. I'm called Little Beansprout, hehe, this is the name my young lady has given me." She said while making a funny face.
"Little Beansprout…" Jun Mo Xie halted and carefully looked at her. He praised. "It is indeed an interesting name; looking at young lady's dressing. This is not a little beansprout, but a little yellow beansprout…"
"Young Master is teasing me…" Little Beansprout's face flushed red as she shook her body shyly. She continued to lead Jun Mo Xie to the left.
Up in one of the restaurants not far away, an elegant and graceful young lady sat alone in the spot that offered the best view. Her jade fingers gently propped up her chin with a look of deep thought in her clear eyes. "Gu Fei Yu, what do you think of this person?" she asked indifferently.
This young lady was wearing a veil across her face and was donned in a light yellow dress. She looked like a fine jewel that did not belong to this world; although she was currently in the center of the busy city, she was like a snow lotus that stood alone, spotless! Untainted by all the vices of the world!
As if all the entire world was muddy and dirty, she would still be able to stand clean and still within it!
And beside her stood a young man donned in green. Clearly, this was the person she was speaking to earlier.
This young man in green also focused on Jun Mo Xie who was walking over. A look of wariness and caution in his eyes, and even a faint hint of killing intent.
As if he had discovered an enemy that was about to snatch his most precious treasure.
This young man had sharp brows and a handsome face. His built was tall and sturdy, with muscular arms and a narrow waist. Upon first glance, no one could not exclaim: What a fine young master of the world, an elegant and beautiful youth!
But the sinister intent in his eyes greatly destroyed that picturesque image. In that pair of long and narrow eyes, there was a lascivious look in his pupils, his chiseled cheekbones protruding, adding on a tinge of sinister ruthlessness… At his waist, a simple long sword in its sheath hung.
This youth had a look of confidence and arrogance. Clearly, he was someone of status within the Misty Illusory Manor, but before this girl, he did not sit down… perhaps, he couldn't be bothered to sit down, or maybe he was unwilling to sit down, or perhaps… he didn't dare to sit down.
But no matter what, he didn't sit down and only remained standing.
Upon hearing the young girl's question, he hurriedly chuckled and replied, "What does Little Sister Xiao Miao think?"
That girl in yellow slightly furrowed her brows, replying indifferently. "I'm the one asking you."
Chapter 938: The Number Two that Must Not be Offended? Still Going to Offend!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"Yes, yes." That young man in green robes, Gu Fei Yu, quickly responded looking at Jun Mo Xie carefully again. "This Mo Jun Ye, at one glance, he is barely of the basic standards of Xuan Qi cultivation, completely ordinary. With such a level of cultivation, he is letting the reputation of the legendary Free and Natural Physique down. Furthermore, this person is unlikely to have seen much of the world yet; it's very likely that he was brought up by wild beasts in the mountains, and he looks completely like a country bumpkin… Appearance wise, he looks as if he is particularly vulgar. Overall, I do not like this person; it is an insult for the white robes of Misty Illusory Manor to be donned by him…"
The girl in yellow frowned. "Gu Fei Yu, you have never interacted with him before. How could you criticize him like that? You must know that whether a person is good or bad is never determined by his appearance. Just like you, Gu Fei Yu. Aren't you a carefree and elegant young master on the surface? But who would know that you are secretly capable of all evil, thinking of doing all sorts of vile acts? What are your intentions in criticizing him like this before me?"
Gu Fei Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Little Sister Xiao Miao, is this brother so unacceptable as you described?"
The girl in yellow nodded her head affirmatively and said slowly, "Perhaps my choices of words was not accurate, because… you, compared to what I just said…, may be even more intolerable."
Gu Fei Yu was utterly speechless, and he didn't know how to respond anymore.
Coincidentally at this moment, footsteps could be heard coming from the stairs. It was Jun Mo Xie and Little Beansprout.
Jun Mo Xie understood instantly why he was recognized immediately. Before that girl in yellow clothes, on the table, laid a drawing of a man, only half of his body drawn, but in the ratio of a life sized human.
The drawing was naturally of his current appearance. And the resemblance was uncanny, as if another Mo Jun Ye was born on the paper. Even his expression and the look in his eyes was imitated to perfection. There was no difference from the real model himself!
On the bottom of the drawing scroll, there was a line of annotations written in small font. Mo Jun Ye, eighteen years old this year. Native of Xuan Xuan Continent; birthplace unknown, parents unknown, origins unknown, had a former Master but not known in detail. Has the legendary Free and Natural Physique, the best prodigy for Xuan cultivation! Brought into the Misty Illusory Manor by Cao Guo Feng.
This person seems to be honest and considerate, but there is a faint bit of shrewdness to him; simple-minded on the surface, but he is actually nimble and adaptable. If carefully groomed, he'll definitely be where the future hope of Misty Illusory Manor lies. But if he came with intentions, what he is after would…"
Jun Mo Xie had only read till this point when the scroll suddenly rolled up completely. Then a melodious voice rang out. "Mo Jun Ye, Young Master Mo! The prodigy with the Free and Natural Physique… This lady offers her greetings."
Jun Mo Xie looked over and instantly confirmed that the girl that was speaking was definitely that most beloved granddaughter of the Palace Lord of the Misty Illusory Manor, the third person Cao Guo Feng mentioned, but the number one person that he must not offend, that female ancestor: Miao Xiao Miao!
The beautiful girl before him was donned in light yellow clothes. Proud and aloof, there was an unapproachable air around her despite her dazzling beauty. Behind the veil, a pair of bright eyes were silently looking at him. There was no curiosity but no contempt, in her look. As if she were looking at someone that didn't matter, as if she didn't care whether the person before her lived or died.
She, only because of some reason, came to take a look, just one look, and that was all.
As to that young man in green beside her, Jun Mo Xie instantly recognized him. This person must be the second person Cao Guo Feng nagged at me not to offend in the Misty Illusory Manor. Beneath that handsome appearance, there was an exceptionally strong air of lasciviousness hidden, and both his eyes are full of evil intents. Someone like this also worthy of following Miao Xiao Miao about, asides from him… there is probably no one else?!
"This untalented person is Mo Jun Ye. May I ask who is this young lady? Why are you looking for me? I was fortunate to be brought to this prestigious land by Senior. It is my first time here, andI am unfamiliar with the place. I am willing to offer my help, but it may not be of much use!"
Jun Mo Xie had a look of nervousness and awkwardness on his face, but he also seemed to be pretending like he was very carefree. And that last sentence, conveying his great ambitions but lack of talent, was thoroughly expressed.
"This young lady is called Miao Xiao Miao, and he is Gu Fei Yu." A look of slight disappointment appeared in Miao Xiao Miao's bright eyes. T his person is really fortunate enough to have a spiritual physique, but he knows nothing at all. He may be honest and simple, but it'll be difficult for him to be taken seriously by others.
But Miao Xiao Miao still politely introduced herself. "I've heard the elders of the family talk about Young Master Mo's gifted abilities, so this little sister got curious and specially came to meet you. I happen to see that Brother Mo was sightseeing nearby. I wonder if the scenery of the Misty Illusory Manor is worth Brother Mo's journey?"
This Mo Jun Ye may not be a big deal currently, but he still ultimately had the Free and Natural Physique. As long as it was groomed appropriately, his future achievements would know no bounds. so Miao Xiao Miao made an exception and addressed herself as 'Little Sister'. To her, this person's future achievements will be significant, so she did not find anything inappropriate in treating him with due respect. But she did not notice that at the same time she said this, a look of complete jealousy appeared in Gu Fei Yu's eyes.
With Miao Xiao Miao's proud personality and her influential background, how many people did she ever addressed herself as 'Little Sister' to? What sort of worth did this country bumpkin have to receive Little Sister Xiao Miao, lowering her status like this?
"I dare not…" Jun Mo Xie acted like a country bumpkin had suddenly met the mayor. He scratched his head awkwardly and laughed dim-wittedly. "The Misty Illusory Manor is very big, and pretty, cough cough… the people here are also very pretty… Young Lady Xiao Miao, you… are even prettier…"
Then, he even blushed, as if he were at a loss as to what to do.
"The Misty Illusory Manor… is very big, right?" An eerie voice asked, from the side. It was Gu Fei Yu, and there was a strong tinge of jealousy and ill intent in his tone.
"Yes, it is indeed very big."
"Very beautiful, right?"
"En, it is indeed very beautiful."
"Never been here, right?"
"Yes, I indeed had never entered this place before."
"Haha, haven't seen it before, right?"
"En, I indeed have never seen it before."
"Then, you'd better take a good look and learn well! Carefully… get rid of that smell of soil that you are covered in, understand?" Gu Fei Yu scoffed and looked at Mo Jun Ye in disdain, brazenly mocking him. With a strong scent of vinegar 1 …
"Yes yes, after I get rid of the smell of soil from my body, maybe I'll be just like you." Jun Mo Xie looked at Gu Fei Yu in envy. "Look at your elegance, how it stands out from the masses ah. When I get rid of this smell of soil from me, when I look at others, I'll smell sour all over, more sour than the vinegar you dip dumplings in. How truly sour ah…"
"You!" Gu Fei Yu slammed the table and said, "Mo Jun Ye, don't think that just because you are lucky and have some bullsh*t Free and Natural Physique, and the entire Misty Illusory Manor treats you as a treasure, that you can behave so brazenly! You must know that there are a lot of people in the Misty Illusory Manor that even your senior cannot afford to offend!"
"Is it? I wonder if those people whom Old Cao cannot afford to offend includes you?" Jun Mo Xie asked modestly.
Gu Fei Yu was instantly at a loss for words.
Gu Fei Yu may have a fierce reputation, being listed as the number two person of the three who must not be offended in the Misty Illusory Manor by the younger generation of the Misty Illusory Manor. But he was ultimately still a younger generation and had limited power. Without his background, that was all he had. So how could he dare to say that third level Saint Emperor Cao Guo Feng could not afford to offend him?
How extraordinary was a Saint Emperor expert? If Cao Guo Feng decided to fall out and offend his entire family clan, it was hard to predict what the outcome of the battle would be. And Saint Emperor Cao was not one who fought alone; there were six sworn brothers who were also Saint Emperors. If they intended to deal with Gu Fei Yu's family, even if Gu Fei Yu's forces were not ordinary, they'd have to suffer the consequences for it!
The reason why Saint Emperor Cao had repeatedly reminded Jun Mo Xie not to recklessly stir up trouble was not because he was scared of the so-called 'three who must not be offended' juniors, but because Saint Emperor Cao was kindhearted and not willing to cause internal strife for no reason, damaging the Misty Illusory Manor's strength!
Gu Fei Yu turned mute when Mo Jun Ye turned around and questioned him directly.
"Why aren't you talking? Could it be that you aren't included in it?" Jun Mo Xie laughed honestly. "I was looking at how confident you were and thought that you really didn't care about anyone. I had even suspected that you are the Big Boss of the Misty Illusory Manor… Turns out that the numerous existences that even Saint Emperors cannot afford to offend… actually don't include yourself. This really left me surprised ah… Since it doesn't include you… then may I ask… why are you trying to show off? Or rather to say, what about you is worth showing off?!"
Gu Fei Yu was extremely furious, but he didn't dare to recklessly respond. This country bumpkin looked plain, and his speech was ordinary, but he didn't expect there to be traps hidden in every single sentence of his. As long as I step into it, it'll guarantee that I'll become the butt of criticism by the younger generation of the Misty Illusory Manor tomorrow, and the joke of the older generations. Even my family will be embarrassed by me…
Things like talking big were not something these children of influential families like him were capable of.
Miao Xiao Miao was obviously very interested in watching these two people banter. But she had not expected that the one who would fall first would be Gu Fei Yu, who was known for his sharp and vicious tongue. Her eyes couldn't help but wander over to Jun Mo Xie. This Mo Jun Ye of the Free and Natural Physique didn't appear as simple and honest as he did on the surface ah…
This fellow had been going with Gu Fei Yu's flow, but when Gu Fei Yu had the upper hand, at the most crucial moment, he suddenly struck and left Gu Fei Yu speechless. And every single sentence afterwards was wicked and malicious, full of traps, completely capable of sowing dissension. Even with Gu Fei Yu's eloquence, he could only suck it up and had no room for rebuttal, or rather, didn't even dare to rebut!
Miao Xiao Miao was instantly surprised. She couldn't help but see this prodigy with the Free and Natural Physique in a different light: This person may be simple and honest, but he is not completely simple, and even, is definitely not one to be messed with!
Chapter 939: I'll Lend You a Gut, Do You Dare to Kill Me?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Gu Fei Yu was stunned for a while. Then he suddenly said coldly. "I may really be no big deal, but…"
Jun Mo Xie cut him off. "Since you know that you are no big deal, then what 'but' are you trying to say in front of me?" He spoke in a disdainful tone as he looked at Gu Fei Yu from the corner of his eyes. "I may be untalented, but I've been told by Master Cao that I have the Free and Natural Physique! Asides from the ancestor of Xuan cultivation, the Nine Nether First Young Master, for 10,000 years, I'm the only other person that has it! I may not be a big deal as an individual, but my physique is a very big deal."
Jun Mo Xie looked at Gu Fei Yu and grinned. "You are no big deal; I'm a little bit more of a deal than you, so I'm a bigger deal than you. Do you admit to what I'm saying?!" There was a tinge of mockery in his eye. "Therefore… you have no right to be saying anything before me. Understand? Please remember it in the future ah!"
"A physique is what you are naturally born with! And not what you worked hard to achieve, so what do you have to be bragging about?" Gu Fei Yu yelled angrily, about to go mad.
"Why can't I brag?! Precisely because I had two impressive parents, I am able to have the Free and Natural Physique that is rarely seen from ancient times till now! So how could it not be something worth bragging about? What sort of logic do you have?" Jun Mo Xie looked at him like a cat toying with a mouse. "Young Master Gu, from what you are saying, are you resenting your own parents for being too useless?"
Gu Fei Yu was about to retort 'I did not say that', but he was so angry he couldn't speak.
Jun Mo Xie sighed softly and shook his head, feeling sorry as he looked at Gu Fei Yu with a look of pity. "I may be of humble talent and shallow learning, but I know the sentences, 'A father's love is like a mountain, A mother's love is like the ocean'. Your parents gave birth to you with great difficulty and painstakingly brought you up, but today, just because your physique is inferior to others, you think that your own parents are trash? Gu Fei Yu, how can you be like this?"
Jun Mo Xie lamented. "Filial piety is the most important of all virtues! You are really unfilial in having such thoughts! Disgraceful! How can you be loyal when you are unfilial? So you are definitely an unloyal person! You are unfilial and unloyal, and full of resentment to your own parents and higher-ups. How can you be true to your friends? So similarly, you are unbenevolent and unjust! Gu Fei Yu! How can someone that is unfilial, unloyal, unbenevolent, and unjust like you have the cheek to remain alive? And here you are, so full of yourself and bullying others… You you you… Do you still have any shame?!"
A look of admiration appeared in Little Beansprout's eyes. Heavens ah, this Free and Natural Physique Young Master Mo is too amazing, practically scolding someone to a whole new level. Others said that the Free and Natural Physique he was born with was due to a stroke of luck, yet with a couple of tugs, he smacked a huge hat of unfilial, unloyal, unbenevolent, unjust, and unashamed on Gu Fei Yu's head…
It seemed that there was no one else in the whole of the Misty Illusory Manor who had this type of ability to make an irrelevant interpretation! Truly great eloquence ah, as expected of the legendary Free and Natural Physique, being so fluent even in his scolding of others.
Miao Xiao Miao looked at Jun Mo Xie, the aloofness in her eyes finally changing. This person was definitely one who showed no mercy to his enemies! Killing to the last, hitting someone who was down was most likely his forte!
Someone like this was definitely not good to deal with!
Gu Fei Yu was mad with anger, letting out a low growl. He lunged forward, the long sword at his waist as unsheathed in a flash and pointing at Jun Mo Xie's throat! The sword glistened before Jun Mo Xie's throat, its chilling intent causing goosebumps to break out beneath his neck.
There was no change in Jun Mo Xie's expression. He did not even flinch. Instead, he looked at Gu Fei Yu tauntingly. "Gu Fei Yu, since you have already used your sword, why don't you just stab it through directly. Just stab it over boldly! If the guts in your body are not enough, I can lend you one! Do you really dare to kill me?" He mocked disdainfully.
As he said this, Young Master Jun lifted his feet with the intention of taking a step forward, ignoring the sword pointing at his throat.
Gu Fei Yu's gaze began to heat up as his entire face turned red, beads of hot perspiration appearing on his forehead, his wrists even trembling. With Jun Mo Xie's step towards him, he couldn't help but take a big step backwards. Because of the disparity in these two steps, the sword that was just millimeters away from Jun Mo Xie's throat deviated from its original position.
Gu Fei Yu tightened his grip, green veins popping out. Although it took a great amount of strength to maintain this position of the sword, and he was unwilling to keep it, he really did not dare to truly stab it forward!
Gu Fei Yu's eyes were also popping out from the strain, red veins appearing across them…
The reason why Gu Fei Yu had such great reputation in the Misty Illusory Manor, asides from his own influential background, was because he was an intelligent person. He knew clearly that the person before him had the rare Free and Natural Physique and all the big shots of Misty Illusory Manor valued it greatly!
In the hearts of these big shots, they would rather die than have anything happen to this Free and Natural Physique! If he really stabbed this sword through, his entire family clan would be chased into the depths of hell by the furious big shots before tomorrow!
Stabbing this sword was the equivalent of committing suicide, and it was one at the price of the whole family clan perishing with him. But if he didn't stab it through, and just kept it back like this, it was really hard for him to swallow this insult. Having it stuck at his throat, unable to spit it out, yet unable to swallow it…. It could be imagined how horrible it felt…
But Young Master Jun was calm and unhurried. He had this ultimate trump card in his hand right now. Why couldn't he make good use of it and humiliate and toy with this b*stard to death? Even if Gu Fei Yu really acted recklessly, with Young Master Jun's current strength of a fourth level Saint Emperor, and Gu Fei Yu's mere prowess of a level three Spirit Xuan, even if he hits a vital spot, it couldn't do any damage to him!
So no matter how you looked at it, in terms of forces and strength, Young Master Jun had absolute confidence! Besides, if he noticed danger, Young Master Jun could immediately vanish, and with Gu Fei Yu's abilities, he wouldn't even be able to catch it.
Jun Mo Xie smiled coldly and took another step forward, putting his neck to that sword that was already off its aim. This sort of incomprehensible move had scared Gu Fei Yu to the point he retreated backwards rapidly. Jun Mo Xie mocked, "Why? You don't dare to? Since you don't dare to… Then why did you draw your sword just now? Hm? Is this a toy? Did you think that you are still a child? Hm? Do I need to find you a nanny?!"
With Young Master Jun's current strength, he could easily crush people like Gu Fei Yu with his pinky finger. But… the situation was a little awkward right now. First, he could not release his real strength in case he accidentally revealed his identity. Second, Jun Mo Xie intended to blow the matter up to see what the bottom line of Misty Illusory Manor was like. Third,… Miao Xiao Miao was present!
The time, place, and people involved were a little awkward, especially the other two who were present. Miao Xiao Miao and Little Beansprout, two who could not be bribed and would be a major problem that cannot be shunned.
Miao Xiao Miao's father was the one who guarded the Spiritual Herbal Gardens, his ultimate destination for this journey! And that place seemed to be an extremely secretive independent space; even if he had all the abilities of the world, there was no chance for him to enter it without sufficient information…
Even Cao Guo Feng, with his status, was not allowed into the Spiritual Herbal Gardens. It could be imagined how tight the security of that place was!
So it was absolutely necessary to have a good relationship with 'Female Ancestor' Miao Xiao Miao. Not only must it be good, he had to use it as an opportunity to sneak into the Spiritual Herbal Gardens…
This concerned the success or failure of this trip into Misty Illusory Manor, so it was of utmost important!
So the first step to developing a good relationship with Young Lady Miao was definitely to leave a deep impression in her heart, the more unforgettable, the more ideal! Let her know that he did tolerate contempt and was aware that he would not be a servant in the future, making sure that she knew that he had endless and boundless value in his future!
Only like this would it attract Miao Xiao Miao's attention to befriend him. If he was merely one with the Free and Natural Physique, yet was a mere country bumpkin, he was just a very lucky fool at most, and in the future, he would be an idiot that only knew about cultivating and not the ways of the world. Even if he became number one in the world and was unrivaled in the world, he would only be made use of by people and would never be taken seriously by them.
Because those people with aspirations definitely had ways to control someone like this. Someone invincible, but brainless and had no wisdom of his own would only become a fighting machine that others could easily manipulate.
Mere exceptional martial talent without intelligence that corresponded would only end up in a huge tragedy. Jun Mo Xie had deep thoughts and feelings about this when reading The Romance of the Three Kingdoms in his previous life. The number one in military power during the period of the Three Kingdoms was undoubtedly Lü Bu, and yet because he was not intelligent, he was manipulated by others for his entire life, at the end, captured alive and decapitated! Even his wife and children had to suffer the same fate…
Marquis Wen Lü Bu was a great example. Many people harboring intentions used him like a weapon, only remembering him when they needed to frame someone or required his military strength and impulsiveness to achieve their goals. No one truly cared about him. Even though they all knew that he was invincible…
So Jun Mo Xie wanted to portray his potential and match it to his own physique, then show off his perseverance. Revealing his hidden intentions of standing at the peak, his untameable attitude, making it clear that he was not someone who would be easily controlled by others and may even be an extremely dangerous and terrifying person…
Only someone like this was one that no one was willing to offend.
