Zhan Qing Feng was impressive; even in the face of Miao Xiao Miao’s sarcasm, he could still retain his warm and affable image. He said gently, “Little Sister Xiao Miao has exaggerated. I said earlier, the bet we made has not begun yet. So naturally there is no need to talk about this. Since Little Sister Xiao Miao has suggested to call it off as it is, then this Brother shall comply to his younger sister’s wishes and end this agreement. Actually, it is better this way; we can avoid hurting the harmony between us.”
From start to end, he kept harping on the fact that ‘the bet has not begun’. It’s meaning was clear; as long as the bet has not started, then he was not going back on his words!
As to before... that was just a verbal agreement, and it did not count as anything. Not only that, he had ‘sold’ Miao Xiao Miao a favor, calling off the bet. Those who did not know will think that he was extremely magnanimous, letting things go when victory was clearly in his hands!
As expected, those who were shameless are invincible!
A vague smile appeared in the corner of Miao Xiao Miao’s lips. “First Young Master Zhan is truly magnanimous. This younger Sister offers her thanks for leaving mercy. If First Young Master Zhan has the opportunity someday to contest with that Young Master Mo, then this little Sister sincerely wishes you to return with great victory.”
A look of faint anger flashed across Zhan Qing Feng’s handsome face. With his ability and wisdom, how could he not tell that Miao Xiao Miao was mocking him sarcastically? But he did not say anything else; no one present was a fool, and they all knew that he was the one in the wrong and had acted shamelessly afterwards. So he could only suck it up while the other party mocked him. Otherwise, it’d be more embarrassing for himself.
He sulked inwardly and thought to himself. How dare you, foolish sharp-tongued lass.
This young master can’t be bothered to deal with you now; I’ll allow you to be arrogant once. When you marry into the Zhan Family in the future, I’ll teach you a lesson!
“Since the bet has been called off, then this little Sister shall take her leave now. I had thought that I would be able to watch a good show here today, but I didn’t imagine that the outcome would be so disappointing! My good mood for so many years has finally all been ruined.” She sighed as she shook her head.
Miao Xiao Miao’s tone was full of genuine disappointment and melancholy.
For so many years, she had always thought that despite the numerous debauchees in the Zhan Family, this First Young Master of the Zhan Family, publicly known as the number one young master in Misty Illusory Manor, Zhan Qing Feng, was different from the rest. And she had sincerely viewed him as an elder brother.
Even the so-called bet they had was merely a harmless little joke between them...
But today, in the face of ‘absolute’ interests, that genial face of Zhan Qing Feng had suddenly become extremely foreign, to the point that she didn’t dare to register it as him! And this was Zhan Qing Feng’s true colors!
So everything before, was merely his way of hiding his true self... Not a single bit of it was sincere at all!
Miao Xiao Miao felt hurt and sincerely sad...
The existence she had always viewed as an older brother, in the face of interests, was capable of such a thorough betrayal!
Women were emotional creatures. No matter how intelligent or clever she was, she was unable to escape from this weird circle beyond their comprehension. Unless she experienced it personally, she would never be able to understand how it felt!
Miao Xiao Miao did not manage to win the stakes that were already in her hand today, but she managed to truly see someone’s true colors and tasted the bitter taste of emotions!
Zhan Qing Feng pretended to ask her to stay, but Miao Xiao Miao insisted on leaving. First Young Master Zhan also felt a little ashamed, so he did not try to force her to stay. But when Miao Xiao Miao had just turned around to leave, a clear and joyous voice suddenly rang out.
“Aiyaya, I heard that all you young masters had set up a banquet for this younger brother, and I was afraid that I would appear rude so I specially made a trip back for a change of clothes. Then I quickly rushed over, but I didn’t expect such a grand occasion! It really was not a wasted trip ah!”
That legendary prodigy with the Free and Natural Physique, Young Master Mo, Mo Jun Ye, walked in, beaming from ear to ear, seemingly overwhelmed by the honor. He looked at the dazzling displays of the lodge and exclaimed in amazement. He said, embarrassed, “Aiyaya, this scale... is really too grand. Young Masters, Brother, Ahaha, actually your thoughts would be enough. Simple will do; why go through all the fuss? This... this... I really feel bad about this ah...”
Two glints of chilling glow appeared in Zhan Qing Feng’s eyes, and he almost exploded from anger!
If you f*cker had come a step earlier, then I wouldn’t have to make myself a despicable person before Miao Xiao Miao and everyone else! Then I wouldn’t need to go back on my words and swallow what I’ve said!
And I can even make use of this country bumpkin to make Miao Xiao Miao lose her bet and not only cut off Miao Xiao Miao’s hopes of entering the Spiritual Herbal Gardens, but make use of this to make the number one beauty in the Misty Illusory Manor one of my concubines! And I could use this as an opportunity to slowly devour all of the Miao Family’s forces...
But just because this b*stard came a step late, everything that I had planned went down the drain!
And now this asshole is over there, being amazed by the grand treatment! This is intolerable!
“You are Mo Jun Ye? I am Zhan Qing Feng, the first young master of the Zhan family! Also the person who organized this welcome party!” Zhan Qing Feng instantly switched,from his warm and friendly demeanor directed to Miao Xiao Miao to one that was cold and chilly! As if a spring day where flowers were in full bloom had suddenly turned into a chilly day with a snowstorm!
A chilling look was shooting out of his long and narrow eyes, staring right at Jun Mo Xie. Like a tiger looking at its prey!
All the other young masters were taking the opportunity to take a good look at this legendary Free and Natural Physique. But they all couldn’t help but feel that there was a huge disparity between the reputation and appearance.
This lad really looks too plain! It’s that type of plainness whereby you shouldn’t be able to distinguish him if you tossed him into the crowd! It’s better to just hear of him than to meet him; otherwise you’d be disappointed!
But someone like this actually is the one with the legendary Free and Natural Physique?!
Instantly, everyone’s eyes became darker and there were traces of contempt and despise in their looks.
Miao Xiao Miao watched Zhan Qing Feng rapidly put on another mask; even the air around him turned much colder. She couldn’t help but feel her heart turn cold. I wonder how many faces this number one young master of the Misty Illusory Manor has? She suddenly felt vaguely terrified...
Other than being emotional, women had one other unique characteristic: their thoughts were influenced by their direct perception. When she saw someone as good, then no matter what, the way they did things and would automatically be deemed as good. But if one day, this person suddenly changed her impression of them, then all the various hard work and effort put in previously would instantly go up in bubbles... And no matter what that person did afterwards, it would all be detested and had no difference from a pile of dog poop!
And she would even suspect about everything she had experienced before! Were they all a scam set up by that person?
Thus... many brothers would suddenly fall out of love. And when they met the next time, they appeared even more offending than an enemy, and the women were full of contempt and disgust towards them... While he was still confused and unable to figure out where exactly had he offended his beloved...
This was actually something that was extremely common.
Women often couldn’t figure themselves out, so what more a man who was not a woman?...
But right now, Miao Xiao Miao almost burst out laughing watching that Young Master Mo’s overwhelmed look. This person is really good at acting whatever he is acting as, imitating everything to perfection...
That expression was really like a country bumpkin had suddenly arrived in a big city and caught the eye of big shots! That sort of joy yet flustered expression was portrayed impeccably! Perfect acting skills!
“Yes yes, this lowly... I... This older brother is Mo Jun Ye, the person who has the Free and Natural Physique! The legend in your hearts! Everyone, you don’t have to be jealous, you can’t get this thing from being jealous or envious!”
This ‘Mo Jun Ye’ had seemed as if he had intended to be in a lowly position, but for some reason, he changed his mind, as if realizing that he was in the same position as all the other people, or even, was even higher than them. Instantly correcting his own ‘mistake’ gleefully, talking proudly and even addressing himself as ‘this older brother’. Even his last few remarks were mere words of arrogance...
All these young masters were so angered by this country bumpkin that they were about to have a stroke! It wasn’t like they had never met with a fool, who had never seen one like this ah... This Mo Jun Ye was a complete fool!
To think that the legendary Free and Natural Physique that iswashard to come by in 10,000 years had fallen on someone like this, the heavens were really blind ah!
But Young Master Mo’s next sentence almost had Zhan Qing Feng fainting from anger. “But... Zhan Qing Feng, that First Young Master Zhan... this, this...” He looked like he was having difficulty trying to find the right words.
“What is the matter?” Zhan Qing Feng suppressed the anger rising in his heart.
“Young Master Zhan, it seemed like you aren’t doing as well as you wished? In the Misty Illusory Manor... I can tell from the way you introduced yourself, you are very proud and seem to think that you have a great reputation... actually, I can understand how you feel...”
Cowering slightly, Young Master Mo hesitantly said. “Since I had arrived in the Misty Illusory Manor, I’ve practically met with all the important figures. Saint Emperor Cao would also specially point out some who were extremely important, so this younger brother has deep impressions of all these major figures... But I don’t seem to have heard of First Young Master Zhan’s reputation... Looks like you’re not doing that well in the Misty Illusory Manor? Probably like me in the outside world. Ai, things aren’t going as we wished for them to; it’s really difficult for us to be going about in the world nowadays... I pity you very much, really, I mean it. I can be considered to have quite a reputation now. I can protect you now, you get what I mean, right?”
Zhan Qing Feng only felt a surge of anger rushing up his throat!
