“Mother, it’s precisely because Jun Ye is a pa.s.sionate and sentimental man that I like him even more!” Miao Xiao Miao’s eyes glimmered warmly. “It’s because I like him that I want to stay by his side. I do not mind being a replacement… as long as it can ease the pain in his heart, so what if I’m just a subst.i.tute… I’m not willing to let him continue living like that with a fake smile on his face, putting on a forceful front… If it’s like that, even if I’m not by his side, my heart still aches for his sake…”
Madam Miao looked silently at her daughter and suddenly felt a sharp pang in her heart… If she had the insistence and spirit of her daughter back then… Ai! What is the point of thinking about that now? Her life now was already very happy, and her marriage was good. Her daughter was smart and beautiful, so as a woman, what other regrets could she still have in this life…
“Even if I’m going to suffer by following him… I will still do so willingly!” Miao Xiao Miao lifted her chin and looked at the bright moon in the sky as she said in dreamy manner. “As long as I can be with him, I will be satisfied!”
Miao Xiao Miao’s voice was resolute, seemingly having made up her mind already… Jun Ye, let me… use this life and this tender love… to heal the scars in your heart…
Madam Miao felt her body sway lightly as she looked at the steadfast look in her daughter’s eyes. In that moment, she suddenly felt extremely frail. Her daughter was right in front of her, but she felt so far away…
Mo Jun Ye, you’ve… completely stolen my daughter’s heart away!
Just what kind of a Free and Natural Physique talent is this?
“Mother… you’ve said before that everyone, regardless of man or woman, always remembers the first person they ever loved… And… Jun Ye is the first person to have ever barged into my heart…” Miao Xiao Miao smiled shyly. “Mother, I really cannot forget him. I’m afraid that in this life, I will never be able to forget the him who stood before me when I tore off my veil… I suddenly feel that in this life… I’ve finally found a person whom I can lean on…”
“Mother, this feeling is really very blessed!” Miao Xiao Miao looked at her mother with her sparkly eyes. “Although Jun Ye’s looks are not exactly extraordinarily das.h.i.+ng… but in my eyes, he’s a million times better than those handsome young lords of those great families! There’s simply no comparison!”
Madam Miao was completely speechless at this point. Sighing lightly, she walked out…
All of sudden, she seemed to have realized something, and she came to an abrupt stop at the door. “Just now you said… you were the one who tore off your own veil last night? He didn’t do it…?”
Miao Xiao Miao gasped and froze, her face instantly reddening. She knew that her mother had figured out the truth through her words, and she immediately replied in a soft voice. “Mother… it doesn’t matter whether it was me who took it off or him… In any case, he’s already going to be the only man in this world who’s ever seen my true appearance ever since I’ve grown up… And the veil in my heart… has also been opened for him long ago! This… what difference does it have if I did it personally or not?”
Madam Miao stood at the door, completely speechless. She simply didn’t know what to say at this moment. There was a huge difference between who took the initiative! But after hesitating for a long time, she simply sighed again, not saying another word and leaving directly… She felt as if the number of times she sighed in a single day today was more than all the sighs in her life combined…
Mo Jun Ye… I hope you don’t let down my daughter’s deep feelings for you…
Madam Miao looked at the bright moon in the sky and made her final wish…
Young Master Jun completely had not expected that that single moment of rejection of his, would actually create such a complicated series of events…
Furthermore, a name that he’d created so randomly, actually ended up being admired so greatly as extremely gentlemanly and poetic…
One had to say that a women’s imagination was really too amazing. Although the judgement and a.n.a.lysis of the two Miao mother and daughter duo could not be said to be wrong, and truthfully, she’d guessed correctly for most of the things, including that Young Master Jun had rejected Miao Xiao Miao because of another girl, even managing to guess the meaning of the Song of the Burial of Flowers, but when all these guesses were added up together, there was a world of difference between the it and the truth, like the distance between the heavens and the earth and the two opposite poles of the Earth!
After Miao Xiao Miao left, Young Master Jun immediately crawled into bed to sleep. He was a human as well, and humans would all tire eventually. Until now, he hadn’t had time for a good rest for a very long time. Furthermore, in the days to come, whether it was dealing with the Zhan Family or Cao Guo Feng and the rest or the birthday celebration for Miao Jing Yun or the entry into the Spiritual Herbal Gardens, all of them were things that required a lot of mental strength to handle…
Right now, he got to rest early, also avoiding the questioning of Saint Emperor Cao and the rest… why would he reject such a good thing?
So Young Master Jun blew his lamp out with a puff, stripped himself bare in an instant and burrowed into the sheets…
Jun Mo Xie originally did not have the habit of sleeping naked. As an a.s.sa.s.sin, a skilled a.s.sa.s.sin naturally needs to have quick reactions to react to any situation at all times!
As long as one was human and had a sound mind, they would all have a sense of shame. A matter like fighting naked… hmm, was only suitable in the private chambers between a male and a female. If one swung their swords at another man while naked… that pressure was also pretty huge and trying…
But ever since Young Master Jun learned the Yin Yang Escape Art and could dodge into the Hongjun PaG.o.da at anytime, he gradually changed his habit…
He had already prepared quite a large number of clothes in the Hongjun PaG.o.da. And all of them were full sets… He could go in at anytime, entering naked and emerging again fully dressed… This way, would there still be the problem of being caught by surprise?!
This feeling was simply too luxurious…
Thus, Young Master Jun gradually fell in love with sleeping nude, this relaxing method of sleep that helped to loosen up the body and mind…
Tonight was naturally no exception…
However, there were no absolute matters in this world, and things rarely went according to the wishes of people.
Take tonight for example, Young Master Jun met with an accident…
The night was dark and the bright moon hung high in the sky, casting a silverish radiance upon the land for ten thousand li .
The night was silent, and the wind was soft. This was the best time to commit crimes!
However, there was an exception to everything! They were still the same words; there were no absolutes in this world!
From a certain direction at the bottom of the mountain, a strange black shadow was streaking toward the top of the mountain!
The speed of this person was exceedingly quick, but they didn’t create the slightest bit of noise in the wind…
This person’s face was covered in a black mask, and even the rest of his head was wrapped in black cloth, only revealing a pair of cold and deadly eyes. The calmness in this pair of eyes was not the kind that had seen through the vicissitudes of life.
Instead, it was the kind that viewed all life as gra.s.s!
No matter who died or who lived, they were not worth a mention in his heart!
His speed was truly extremely quick. It seemed as if a black cloud had appeared far off in the distance, but in the next instance, it’d arrived right outside Saint Emperor Cao’s courtyard!
And this person’s cultivation was clearly much higher than Cao Guo Feng and the rest!
Because the moment he arrived at the yard, the four Saint Emperors who were on guard actually did not detect his presence at all… One should know that even if a same level Saint Emperor arrived, they would be able to sense the presence of the latter from 30 zhang away!
But this person had already stepped so close, but they actually didn’t feel anything…
In the next instant, the black robed man directly sped forward, without the slightest hesitation! He was like a large black bird, suddenly retracting its wings and diving forward like a sharp arrow!
HIs speed was this fast! Furthermore, the entire process was silent and without commotion…
Without switching directions, his body fell like a straight spear, stabbing downwards with shocking speed! Only when he was about to come into contact with the roof, did a loud whoos.h.i.+ng sound enough to shake the heavens and earth appear around his body!
All the Xuan Qi in his body had already coagulated into this one strike!
The air around him instantly grew heavy!
In that instant, even the moonlight was unable to s.h.i.+ne through the area!
Spatial Lock!
And the area that this spatial lock enveloped was actually the entire yard!
Such a large scale spatial lock was something that even Cao Guo Feng and the other peak Third level Saint Emperors could never emulate!
The instant a real expert showed their hand, nothing else could compare!
The strength of this black robed man had already reached an incomparable level!
And the target of this strike was a small room in Cao Guo Feng’s yard!
No matter who looked at it, this was the place with the heaviest defense!
The Free and Natural Physique disciple must be staying in there!
The power of this strike might not be enough to completely slay a Saint Emperor, but to injure a Saint Emperor, it would not be a problem at all! Especially in a situation where the other was caught off guard…
But the main target of this strike was undoubtedly still that prodigy with the Free and Natural Physique!
Apart from being capable of injuring a Saint Emperor, this was also an indiscriminate attack!
As long as the Free and Natural Physique prodigy was in that room, he would surely die without a shadow of doubt!
Even if he was just lightly grazed by the attack, it would still be a hopeless situation!
This ruthless a.s.sa.s.sin using overpowering strength to bully the weak, arriving in the middle of the night to a.s.sa.s.sinate Young Master Jun and the other seven Saint Emperors, was the Zhan Family’s Saint Venerable level expert—the Earth Penetrating Hand, Zhan Xiao Xiao!
Zhan Lun Hui could be said to have invested greatly this time, to send out this peak level character of the world!
With the great calamitous events in the Zhan Family happening recently, Zhan Lun Hui originally had not planned to eliminate this Free and Natural Physique Great Prodigy Mo as a number one priority. Even if Mo Jun Ye had the Free and Natural Physique, with shocking potential, it would at least still be impossible for him to reach the level of a peak expert in a short period of time. As long as his strength was still insufficient, he would not be a priority for the Zhan Family!
However, the deaths of Zhan Qing Feng and Zhan Yu Shu reminded the Zhan Family old ancestor of one very important problem!
The Zhan Family had been progressing very smoothly all along, but how did it reach such a state today in the blink of an eye? Why did their scheme progress so smoothly for thousands of years, only to completely fall apart now?
Was it really a problem of time, fate, and luck?!
It may be so, or it may not. However, there was a single factor that was linked to all these!
If one traced all these matters to its origins, everything had happened because of Mo Jun Ye, this singular huge variable who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere like an accident!
