Translator:Ā Ā Guan Qing Yue was extremely reluctant to believe Jun Mo Xie, but Jun Mo Xieās vivid description of Yueāer along with the factual reference to her birth mark was enough to make the youngster lose his mind!
Guan Qing Yue stood there ignoring his fatherās wordsā¦. wheezing, and panting. He stretched out his finger, and pointed it at Jun Mo Xie as he barely found his words through his trembling lips: āJun Mo Xie! I swear Iāll kill you!ā
The pain of his heart, the ache of his lungs and the shame on his manhood had brought tears to his eyes by the time he finished his sentence!
Jun Mo Xie couldnāt help wondering: [you silly boy, you actually believed Yueāer?!]
This one sentence had transformed the atmosphere of the room to that of a cold winterās night! Jun Zhan Tian and Jun Wu Yiās face had turned gloomy, but in the back drop of a surging murderous outburst!
Inside the Jun residenceā¦.. in front of Jun Zhan Tian and Jun Wu Yi, someone was actually threatening to kill the only remaining heir of the Jun Family? If this ever got out, then the people of Tian Xiang Empire would laugh, regarding this as a foolās joke! But right now, this mockery was actually taking place inside their houseā¦..
Everyone knew the importance of Jun Mo Xieās lifeā¦ā¦
Guan Dong Liu, Guan Ru Shan, Guan Qing Bo, and even Guan Qing Hanās faces suddenly turned pale!
āBastard! Stop with your nonsense at once!ā Guan Dong Liu simply couldnāt stay still anymore, and hence he quickly got up and slapped his son across his face: āYou will apologize to the Son of Jun right now?!ā
āI will not apologize to him! I havenāt said anything wrong!ā Guan Qing Yue didnāt even flinch, and continued to stare brazenly at Jun Mo Xie; not even willing to wipe off the blood which had already started to stain the corner of his mouth: āJun Mo Xie, as a man to a manā¦. I challenge you to a duel!ā
āDuel? Why ah?ā Jun Mo Xie looked extremely confused, and even managed to display a slight but bewildered smile on his face: āSecond Guan Brother, I donāt know where I offended you ah? This is the first time weāre meeting! Weāre related by a bond of marriageā¦.. you come here to the city of Tian Xiang, you eat with my family, you drink with my family, and we do everything to entertain you, but still youāre cursing me in a room full of people, and now youāre even challenging me to a duel?! You clearly wish to kill me! May I dare to ask the reason?ā
āYouā¦.. you dare not ask the reason! How dare you ask the reason? If youāre a real man, then you should accept my challenge!ā Guan Qing Yueās eyes were still fixed provocatively at Jun Mo Xie.
āYou damn thing! Didnāt you hear what your father just said?ā Guan Dong Liuās hand shot out again with the intention of slapping his son again as his anxious heart compelled him to take strict action in this situation; [this is getting out of hand todayā¦ Even if the Jun Family considers us to be relatives, would they still go easy on my second son for this insolence? Even the reasonable men of the Jun Family may not act very reasonably in this situation!]
[Does he know who Jun Mo Xie is? He is the only surviving heir of the Jun Family! Even though my second son has only threatened to kill him, but if someone had threatened to kill my son, then I would have sent that man to his death without giving him any chances of explaining the situation! If this is how I think, then how long will it be until the Old man Jun makes this decision?]
Guan Qing Yue was still staring at Jun Mo Xie with a stubborn face and unblinking eyes, and no intention of dodging his fatherās second slap either. Guan Dong Liuās hand was in mid-air, ready to strike his son even harder this second time when a hand appeared out of nowhere and tightly clutched his hand, and held it in its place. Guan Dong Liu turned around to realize that it was Jun Wu Yiās hand.
Jun Wu Yi smiled gently as he stated in a casual manner: āBrother Guan, there must be reason behind your sonās words. We must investigate and get to the bottom of this matter to determine if Mo Xieās unplaced words might have accidentally or unintentionally offended the second son of Guan. There can often be friction between youngsters, and as their elders, we must never hastily intervene to suppress themā¦. It will never bring any good. It could possibly lead to a grave misunderstanding, right?ā
Jun Wu Yiās smiling face, and affectionate expression sent shivers down Guan Dong Liuās spine.
Although Jun Wu Yiās words had been gentle and mature, but there was still a faint hint of dominance in his body language, which was rather self-explanatory. Guan Dong Liuās head gradually turned downwards as he realized that responding in disagreement might result in the slaughter of his entire family.
āThird Uncle, please allow me to get to the bottom of this.ā Guan Qing Han quietly bowed her head in front of her second brotherās eyes: āKindy allow me to find out why Qing Yue acted in this manner today. Please allow me the authority to decide the course of action once Iāve determined which of my two brothers is at fault; Mo Xie, or Qing Yue, since Iām an older sister to the both of them!ā
She had noticed that the three youngsters were huddled together only moments ago, and were whispering and laughing with obscene looks on their faces. She could sense this sudden rise in the temperature of their conversation could have been provoked by something not worth mentioning in front of the adults.
However, Guan Qing Yue was her brother in blood and she had always believed him to be very well-behaved. Therefore, she had already made up her mind that her own brother could never cause such trouble, and Jun Mo Xie must have provoked her brother beyond his limit of tolerance.
āIā¦ā¦Iā¦..Iā¦ā¦ā Guan Qing Yue opened his mouth but was unable to find his words this time. His face was clearly reflecting the anguish and distress of his heart.
He really couldnāt speak up to disclose the truth behind the matter because he was well aware that Yueāer resided in the Spirit Fog Lake, a place where women were objects of pleasure. In spite of being his lover, she would be branded as a prostitute! Even stating that she is woman clean of such activities, and doesnāt sell her body would be fruitless; prostitutes are prostitutes!
[If father and sister actually find out that I challenged the third young master of the Jun Family to a duel over such a woman, then wouldnāt they react madly?]
[No matter how much Jun Mo Xie slanders her name, I cannot let anyone know the reason behind this disputeā¦.. else the only thing that will come in play will be the perception that she is a prostitute!]
In reality, although he had met Yueāer in the worst of places for a noble woman to be, Guan Qing Yue had actually believed her words since he had never been able to investigate into her past! But regardless of that, he had taken her to be the woman of his heart! Guan Qing Yue had already made up his mind then, that he would love her to his last day, and would do everything in his power to protect her dignity.
āSecond Brother Guan, I would also like to know how I offended youā¦? If I really offended you brother, then Iām willing to admit my mistake, and Iāll apologize for it, but brother must first tell me my mistake!ā Jun Mo Xie put on a sincere face, and tactically took his chance to throw stones at a man who had already fallen down the well.
āSpeak up!ā Guan Qing Han saw the sincerity on Jun Mo Xieās face, and then looked up at her brother as a sadness took over her heart, [could my brother really have been the one at fault here?]
āKindly allow me to explain this situation.ā Guan Qing Bo calmly analyzed the troublesome situation his younger brother had gotten himself into, and knew that if he didnāt clearly explained this matter then things could end on a very calamitous note for his entire family.
Therefore with the elegant and refined narration abilities that he possessed, he narrated the story of Yueāer and Guan Qing Yue in a very romantic arrangement, depicting the two to be star-crossed lovers. He went on to narrate that the two lovers were forced to separate due to some unavoidable circumstances, post which Yueāer came to the Tian Xiang city, and becameā¦.uhā¦. a temporary singer and host at the Ni Chang pavilion.
As chance had it, Guan Qing Yue happened to be visiting the Tian Xiang City soon after, and the two lovers were reunited again by the will of fate, and coincidentallyā¦. Jun Mo Xie had already been Yueāerā¦. Guestā¦.. once by thenā¦ā¦.
Although Guan Qing Boās narration was subtle enough to create compassion about the touching love story of the two people, but the eyes of the Guan Dong Liu were already shooting flames at his younger son! In fact, Guan Dong Liu almost fainted with shame.
No one was stupid enough to misunderstand this matter. Everyone had already guessed the real reason behind this matter after listening to Guan Qing Boās modified story. These two debauchees were publicly fighting over a prostitute! This was turning into a big mockery!
Everyone was contemptuously staring at Guan Qing Yue while silently cursing him in their hearts, [this boy falls in love with a woman from a brothel, and ends up threatening the heir apparent of the Jun Family inside their own house? Is the second son of the Guan Family really that dumb?!]
The entire Guan Family including Guan Dong Liu and Guan Qing Han had always looked down upon Jun Mo Xie owing to his immoral behavior, but now they were beginning to realize that their own familyās son may not just be immoral, but also foolishā¦..
Guan Qing Han had trusted her brotherās judgement, and had volunteered to investigate into this matter knowing that it would lead up to something involving immoral activities. But now she was left red-faced with angerā¦ā¦ she mercilessly stared at her brother, and then glanced fiercely glanced at Jun Mo Xieās face, and then retreated to one side. Jun Mo Xie was obviously quite angered by this: [Your brother is the reason behind this whole ruckus, and youāre still glaring at me? Do you know that your brother is the main culprit behind the assassination attempt on me? Iām the real victim hereā¦. Iām the one whoās entitled to be angry in this case!]
āYou evil bastard!ā Guan Dong Liuās thundering roar echoed through the shaking hall: āYou, you challenged your own relativeā¦. Your own sisterās brother-in-lawā¦. to a duel of life and death over such a woman?ā Guan Dong Liuās entire body was trembling with anger: āYouāre a disobedient son! Youāre an unworthy son! You you youā¦ youāre a disgrace to our familyās name!ā

Even though Guan Qing Yue was repenting and fearing his fatherās anger, but his mouth still opened to refuse his defeat as his stubborn brain ordered him to refute his fatherās words: āYueāer is my beloved; she is not a vulgar woman, and nor is this man my sisterās brother-in-law. Weāve come here to take my sister back, and once we do that, heāll no longer be associated to her, or us, in any way!ā
āShut up you insolent beast!ā Guan Dong Liu hurriedly intervened as his face turned pale with fright. But his words came too late.
Guan Qing Han raised her pale face to look at her father; her rosy lips trembled to speak her mind, but were unable to find any words to express them.
The Old man Jun and Jun Wu Yi were left speechless; even Jun Mo Xie was left surprised by this sudden change of events. A deadly silence engulfed the entire hall!
āThis Old man is drunk; I must excuse myself.ā Grandfather Jun stood up and stated in a cold voice. His words were obviously quite strange; the dinner hadnāt yet started, the dishes hadnāt been tasted yetā¦.in fact, even a single glass of wine hadnāt been emptied at this time, and the Old man Jun had just stated that he was already intoxicated.
