Tang Yuan scoffed. “It’s only asking you to gather news; weren’t you guys also anxious? I was just fulfilling your wishes ah. Making me sound so horrid, be careful that I complain to Third Young Master on you! Let you have it good. Hmph!…”
Another voice piped up. “Master, I am willing to testify for Chen Feng. This fatty has been ordering us around for all sorts of matters. The two of us have really suffered; although it is the duty of the disciple to share the Master’s troubles, but… essentially its difficult to explain…!”
“Master?” Young Master Jun was stunned by this sudden form of addressment. But he suddenly remembered that Hai Chen Feng’s old partner, Song Shang, was his one disciple. Although their relationship was ‘made over wine’, and Young Master Jun had never acknowledged it, but this old disciple had never changed in the way he addressed him as Master.
Young Master Jun had recalled many things in the past from this one ‘Master’. That rain, that gamble, everything came rushing back.
That was the weakest point of my life in this world…
Everyone broke out in loud laughter as they walked inside. Sun Xiao Mei followed behind silently. A sudden thought popped in Jun Mo Xie’s head. “Wah, Fatty, you are really capable now… it’s been so long, but you didn’t lose your wife again?” he asked.
Tang Yuan’s round face instantly turned bitter. “Third Young Master… We don’t play like this… are you trying to play me till I’m dead? I had just stopped playing for barely a few days here… Ouch… That hurts so much…”
Sun Xiao Mei pinched him harshly on his waist and yelled, “Tang Yuan! How dare you! Just you wait!” Then she snorted and left. Tang Yuan was at a loss for what to do, quickly chasing after her, begging for mercy. “Wifey…. I really didn’t, how could I… I- I- I… You must believe me ah…”
Everyone laughed at Tang Yuan’s misfortune, watching him grovel after Sun Xiao Mei and apologizing profusely, snot and tears dripping everywhere.
Jun Mo Xie had only stayed in Tian Xiang City for two days when he received news of those from Misty Illusory Manor.
Because during these two days, Jun Mo Xie had been harassed by Tang Yuan so much that he was about to swear, more or less understanding Hai Chen Feng and Song Shang’s pains now.
He didn’t know where this scoundrel got so many different versions, carrying a thick stack everyday and reciting it to Jun Mo Xie. Always talking about the part where the Evil Monarch battled the three Holy Lands…
In two days, Tang Yuan had purchased almost sixty different versions at high prices and consolidated it all into a book. He pestered Jun Mo Xie to read it everyday. Since then, as long as Jun Mo Xie saw Tang Yuan walking over excitedly while carrying a book, he would be frozen with fear, only short of crying for help…
Upon receiving news of Cao Guo Feng and the rest from the Misty Illusory Manor, Jun Mo Xie could be said to have fled from Tian Xiang City with his tail between his legs…
Only Tang Yuan in the whole entire world was able to scare the Evil Monarch, Jun Mo Xie ,to this state. Tang Yuan’s achievement was truly unprecedented!
However, during these two days, Jun Mo Xie had also gifted Tang Yuan, Sun Xiao Mei, Hai Chen Feng, and Song Shang pills for them to strengthen their powers. Tang Yuan had completely no interest in Xuan Qi, but his meagerly cultivation was that of a Golden Xuan’s. Although he may not use it, Jun Mo Xie still left an extra with Sun Xiao Mei. If the day Tang Yuan suddenly decided to cultivate came, these few pills would be his greatest motivation.
Delivering pills for Tang Yuan, Song Shang, and Hai Chen Feng… this was the greatest reason why Jun Mo Xie came!
Jun Mo Xie had also left large quantities of Bone Tempering Pill and other low level pills for this fellow to profit off from… Although he was hoping that Tang Yuan would also take a few to strengthen himself, Jun Mo Xie could tell from Tang Yuan’s greedy expression that he would rather exchange all of this into silver than to eat it himself…
Jun Mo Xie decided that if one day, he managed to concoct ‘Cleansing’ Pills that had no side effect, first thing he’d do would be to shove it down this Fatty’s throat. Or not… He would leave this world in a couple of decades… How boring this world would be without Tang Yuan…
After he departed, Tang Yuan issued an order: Purchase all the books on the Evil Monarch! Any variation could be bought at high prices; even if it was made on the spot, that was no issue. Collate it all and store it in the study…
Because Tang Yuan felt that these things were the funniest jokes he had seen in his entire life. No matter which version, no matter how pleasant it was, it was enough to make him break out in uncontrollable laughter. The only regrettable thing was that the main character of the story didn’t seem to be his best friend Jun Mo Xie… They’ve described him too ideally… how is he that good?
Under the great support of Tang Yuan’s wealth, all sorts of weird rumors regarding the Evil Monarch boomed all over the Continent…
This purchase operation had directly caused huge arguments and banters when the future generations discussed about the legendary Evil Monarch… Which helped add a tinge of mystery to the legendary Evil Monarch. Of course, which of it was about what the real Evil Monarch had experienced… was food for thought…
——————————-
In a dense forest, Saint Emperor Cao, Cao Guo Feng, was walking in front with a heavy look on his face. Since they left Chrysanthemum City, he had been pulling a long face, clearly feeling troubled. The other six knew he wasn’t in a good mood and did not try to strike up a conversation with him. And thus, the seven of them remained in silence for a couple of days.
Their goal for the trip this time was to find someone.
They had already thoroughly searched this mountain a couple of times, missing nothing. They had heard that that person resided here, but the seven of them had combed the entire place yet still couldn’t find anything.
This trip had really been not very smooth-sailing. Cao Guo Feng and Bai Qi Feng, the leaders, were extremely upset. The only good news they received recently was that the three Holy Lands had been defeated by the hands of an ‘Evil Monarch’ who popped out of nowhere. They suffered a great disadvantage and were practically wiped out. This finally allowed these few people to feel elated for once. They had discussed and laughed at the three Holy Lands’ misfortune for a while before returning back to their silence…
Looking at the exceedingly silent mountain forest that showed no trace of human residence, finally confirming that the person they were looking for was not here, Cao Guo Feng finally decided to give up.
Saint Emperor Cao hit a tree with his palm in frustration. “This trip this time is truly unlucky to the core! Can’t find the person we are looking for, falling out with the Holy Lands, that bunch of scums! And the most infuriating thing is, the Free and Natural Physique, the best successor, vanished just like this…”
Bai Qi Feng let out a long sigh and said in agreement. “A youth with the Free and Natural Physique ah… Who knows how many ten thousands of years it takes for one to appear ah…. Just like that… A pity! A pity ah…”
The others also shook their heads and sighed. When this matter was brought up, they only felt extreme hatred towards the three Holy Lands! If Zhan Mu Bai had not played dirty, how could a rare prodigy like that just go missing?
But there was no use talking about it anymore. Even if they wished to settle scores with Zhan Mu Bai, it couldn’t be done anymore. Because that Saint Emperor Zhan had already died a tragic death in the hands of the Evil Monarch, to the point where his soul was completely destroyed and damned for eternity!
This left Cao Guo Feng completely upset! Not having a place to vent when he wanted to find somewhere to vent!
“Looks like the information this time was wrong; the person we are looking for is not here at all.” Cao Guo Feng laughed bitterly and said moodily. “Not only did we not find the person on this trip, and we also messed up assisting the three Holy Lands in dealing with the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master. Which means we did not fulfill a single thing the Lord had instructed us to do… The seven of us brothers are really unlucky…”
Bai Qi Feng was indifferent. “This trip being a wasted one is because there was an error in the information. How could it be blamed on us? Besides… what sort of conduct do those from the three Holy Lands have? How could we cooperate with them? We are already being magnanimous not killing every single one of them. Big Brother need not take it to heart. I believe that anyone from the Misty Illusory Manor will also not back off just like that. It takes great effort to back off in how you handled this whole matter.”
“But… no matter what the reason is, the result is that we did not accomplish what we should have. There is a reason behind any failure, but this reason is not a reason why we did not accomplish it. Responsibility is responsibility and we must carry it!”
“I understand! Rest assured, the six of us are willing to carry this responsibility with Big Brother!” Bai Qi Feng said, raising his head.
“That is wrong; since I am leading for this trip, where is the logic in making all of you carry the responsibility for me?” Cao Guo Feng asked displeasedly. He sighed again and said, “Actually, the thing that has been bothering me is concerning something else.”
“What is it?”
“The Evil Monarch is probably that Third Young Master Jun Jun Mo Xie. I believe no one has any doubts on this. But Jun Mo Xie’s powerful rise this time and the powerful forces he has causes me to worry about the future threat to the Misty Illusory Manor.”
Cao Guo Feng said heavily. “Jun Mo Xie dealing with the three Holy Lands is bound to happen. And now, after the three Holy Lands have suffered such great losses, their strength is far from their past. As long as the Heaven Saint Palace doesn’t intervene, the three Holy Lands are bound to be destroyed in Jun Mo Xie’s hands! Someone like this is truly the scariest because he has a terrifying, unmatched speed in his advancement! All of the strength he has currently is enough to shake any force in the world!”
