Mo Xuan Fei put down the wine cup, which he has been playing between his fingers, down on the table as he looked up and grinned. "Very well, I will accept your challenge.""Good!" Mo Qian Yuan clapped his hand excitedly and poured another wine to Mo Xuan Fei and Xiao Jun"s empty cup. "It will be a great show to see."
Both Xiao Jun and Mo Xuan Fei exchanged a polite smile at each other as they chugged down the wine that Mo Qian Yuan had poured for them.
Simultaneously the three of them stood up and walked toward the door with sword hung on their hips.
In an open s.p.a.ce where the two of them were standing at the opposite side of the yard, Mo Qian Yuan was watching them, fighting against each other with satisfied smile appeared on his lips.
They could turn against each other and still it was him, Mo Qian Yuan, who would gain the benefit from the hostility from both of them.
It was a good plan indeed for having Mo Xuan Fei fought Xiao Jun. So, he could see and measured how strong Xiao Jun was.
Did he like the other people said about him? After all, Xiao Jun was a disciple of the legendary Mountain Sui Sword Sect before it was destroyed by Xiao w.a.n.g Wei along with the Kingdom of Xinghe.

In the middle of the yard, far from Mo Qian Yuan"s ears shot. Xiao Jun and Mo Xuan Fei were standing against each other with unsheathed sword on their hand as they measured each other calmly.
"I know I will never win against you." Mo Xuan Fei said in low voice, his back was facing Mo Qian Yuan, so the later didn"t have any idea what he was talking about.
Xiao Jun stared at him without a change on his expression, he let Mo Xuan Fei to continue to talk.
However, instead of talking, he dashed toward him with amazing speed, fortunately Xiao Jun"s reflex was remarkable as he raised his sword.
Ears piercing sound of clashing metals were sounded from their colliding swords.
"But, I need your help." Mo Xuan Fei said in even lower voice when the distance between them were only a half meter away.
Xiao Jun knitted his brows. "Why do you think I will help you?" He asked icily and kicked him on his calf.
But, before his kick landed Mo Xuan Fei had dodged it and step aside, instead he grabbed Xiao Jun"s scabbard and jerked it harshly.
Xiao Jun wasn"t familiar with his strange movement and for a second lost his balance before he made a swipe moved with his sword and attacked Mo Xuan Fei relentlessly.
"Because I know your secret." Mo Xuan Fei continued the conversation under Xiao Jun hard blow and anger looked.
"Unfortunately, I have too many secrets to be able to remember them one by one." Xiao Jun saw an opening and kicked hard on his ribcage, sent Mo Xuan Fei flew back a few meters away.
Mo Xuan Fei knelt and put his palm against the ground to stop his movement, the pain in his chest and the sharp gravels that cut his skin, made him more sober.
He managed to stop himself before Xiao Jun gifted him another shocking blow that he barely could dodge it.
It was so hard to deal with him, he knew that he wasn"t his opponent and should call it end soon, otherwise he wouldn"t be able to stand him longer than this.
"I don"t know your other secret, but I do know that you are the perpetrator behind the dead of Mo Jingchen." Mo Xuan Fei was indeed had done his own researched and find out that Xiao Jun has an involvement with Mo Jingchen"s murder. "I have an evidence of your wrong doing. You will never be able to deny it."
Xiao Jun"s lips curled into a ridicule smile. "So what if it was me?" He asked arrogantly.
Xiao Jun wouldn"t believe if Mo Xuan Fei said he would take revenge on the brother that barely exchanged greeting with him. That was a nonsense excuse.
Mo Qian Yuan would have killed him, if Mo Xuan Fei had talked to him first and they would be here tonight, fighting with each other for a bit dignity to prove themselves.
The fact that Mo Xuan Fei talked to Xiao Jun first, despite the so called evident that he had, proven something.
Mo Xuan Fei needed something from Xiao Jun for an exchange of this information, however Xiao Jun wasn"t someone that easy to deal with, especially at this time.
"You are so bold." Mo Xuan Fei caught blood when he received another kick on his stomach, his vision started to get blurry.
Xiao Jun didn"t show him any mercy when he callously attacked him again.
"I know about Princess Xiao"s pregnancy." Mo Xuan Fei said it abruptly when he warded off Xiao Jun"s sword.
Unknowingly, Xiao Jun turned furious and attacked him with killing intent and bloodl.u.s.t in his eyes.
Mo Xuan Fei didn"t have even a moment to regain his movement before he fell on the ground and his sword was s.n.a.t.c.hed from his hand.
Falling on his back, he couldn"t make any move when Xiao Jun stuck both of the swords on his neck, the sharp blade grazed his skin, resulted blood trickled down from the opened wound.
Mo Xuan Fei raised his head and looked up straight at Xiao Jun"s eyes.
"I will help you as long as you help me." He tried to convince this stubborn prince if there was nothing that he wanted more rather than stayed far away from this sinful palace.
They were talking in low voice and most of the time it was Mo Xuan Fei, who did the talk, with his back facing Mo Qian Yuan, so the Emperor didn"t have any idea if they engaged in conversation during the fight.
Mo Qian Yuan was sitting a bit far from them, so they could have enough s.p.a.ce to move, hence it was only their clashing sound that he could hear.
Xiao Jun tightened the grip on the hilt of both swords as they were exchanging look. He was tempted to finish Mo Xuan Fei off, with that the secret about Qianru"s pregnancy would remain a secret.
However, the determination on Mo Xuan Fei"s eyes made him hesitated and withdrew his both swords from his neck, in spite of that, he still wounded his neck a bit. It was a warning.
From behind him, there was a sickening laugh and clapping sound, approaching them gradually.
"Verry well." Mo Qian Yuan clapped his hands happily and stood before Xiao Jun"s eyes while the man didn"t even bother to see this Emperor and helped Mo Xuan Fei to stand.
"Your sword." Xiao Jun gave the sword on his left hand to him with face that devoid from any emotion.
"Thank you." Mo Xuan Fei received his sword and put it back on the scabbard securely.
"It is so pity that you lost to him, but I am afraid Prince Xiao Jun couldn"t leave the palace without Xuan Fei." Mo Qian Yuan looked at Xiao Jun with meaningful smile. He rubbed his beard. "Prince Xiao Jun is my honor guest and I will be in trouble if something should happen to you during your journey alone, with Xuan Fei with you I will be more a.s.sure that you will come back safely."
The way Mo Qian Yuan arranged his words were so beautiful, common people would have thought it was only a concern word from an elder, moreover there was nothing suspicious in his words.
However, Xiao Jun could interpret the meaning behind it clearly.
It was a threat!
His true message for Xiao Jun was; he wouldn"t gain an access to roam freely out of the palace gate and if he by any chance he could manage to go away, his safety arrival wouldn"t be his concern anymore, or in worst case, Mo Qian Yuan himself, who would send someone to kill him.
Declared it as an accident as Xiao Jun was going out of the palace by his own concern.
"There was no need for that threat. I need him to accompany me. He is a great fighter if only his hand was not broken." Xiao Jun said coldly and then walked away from both of them.
