Chapter 996: Expounding On Miracles!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Miao Jing Yun and Young Master Jun had also met once by fate. Back when Jun Mo Xie first entered the Misty Illusory Manor, it was Miao Jing Yun who made the decision and fed him a set of Seven Colored Holy Fruits. The last fruit was also personally fed to him by this old fellow...
Today, it was actually their second time meeting each other.
Miao Jing Yun’s heart was also quite conflicted. It was exactly because of this brat with the extraordinary Free and Natural Physique. The moment he came, he’d caused such a great commotion! Just by going out for a little walk, he’d crippled an elite successor of the Gu Family and even caused the Zhan Family to fall into a dire situation, only barely managing to clean the matter up...
Just these two matters had plunged the entire Misty Illusory Manor into chaos!
Although these two matters were not started by him, it could be said to have happened because of him! The source of the problems lay with him!
The matter had not settled down even now, and it appeared that on that very same day of the incident, he’d also stolen away the heart of his granddaughter...
This was simply a devil that was naturally talented at drawing trouble ah...
Could a normal person do all that?
A normal person could naturally not achieve all that, but this prodigy with the Free and Natural Physique had actually done it!
So this evaluation of ‘jinx’ still underestimated him!
This kid was simply a root of trouble!
Right now, on the surface, only the Zhan Family and the Gu Family were involved in this. But if the matter with his own granddaughter were spread out... that would mean that this kid would become the common target of all of the Misty Illusory Manor’s young generation!
It was common knowledge that of the eight great families of the Misty Illusory Manor, there were at least be a few promising youths from each family that were interested in his granddaughter. This kid had only come here for five, six days, and he’d already snatched away the target that everyone had pursued for a long time. How could he avoid the jealousy and envy of everyone?
Miao Jing Yun sighed heavily in his heart as he looked at him, only to see this fellow grinning back at him with a bashable expression, as if he were completely oblivious to the troubles he’d caused... When the kid saw him looking at him, he even smiled widely, revealing all his teeth...
Do you think that your teeth are very white? Miao Jing Yun felt an anger surge through his heart. What is he smiling so proudly about? Don’t you know that this daddy is having a massive headache because of you?
If you really have the capabilities, with extraordinarily exceptional leadership skills, and the cultivation of the Saint level, that would be fine. But with that tiny bit of cultivation, any random disciple of the aristocratic families could simply squish you to death with a single finger. To think that a rascal like you were actually able to cause Xiao Miao to fall so madly in love, refusing to marry anyone else... Just what did Xiao Miao see in him?
Just as the crowd was standing there looking at each other awkwardly, Miao Jing Yun unexpectedly waved his hand beckoned for Jun Mo Xie. “Mo Jun Ye, come here.”
Jun Mo Xie groaned internally. Is this old fellow going to settle the scores with me? But I really didn’t do anything to your granddaughter ah... In fact, the one who had been taken advantage of was me...
But Young Master Jun did not say this out loud. Even if he did, would anyone believe him?
“As the person involved in last night’s matter, what do you think?” Unexpectedly, Miao Jing Yun’s first question was actually this.
To anyone else, this was naturally an easy question.
This was simply a miracle from the heavens; what other opinion could there be?
But when it came to this Free and Natural Physique prodigy, this question wasn’t that simple...
Right now, everybody had already unanimously agreed that this miracle had appeared because there was the owner of the Free and Natural Physique staying here. But while the rest could say that, Jun Mo Xie himself... could not.
It was only natural for others to deitify him, but if he praised himself like that, it would be another matter entirely!
But if he didn’t reply like that, how else was he supposed to reply? This was a little too difficult to handle!
“Erm... replying to Manor Lord, last night, I was really only talking to Miss Miao! We really didn’t do anything. If you don’t believe me, you can go back and ask; that lass Little Beansprout can be my witness...” The guilty Jun Mo Xie answered immediately without thinking. But quite clearly, this fellow had completely misunderstood the question, directly giving a different answer...
The moment this sentence came out, everyone’s faces started to twitch strangely.
Only talking to her... and didn’t do anything? What else were you thinking of doing?
No matter how wise, experienced, or sly Miao Jing Yun was, he could not have expected to hear such a ridiculous answer! After hearing this, his nose nearly turned crooked from anger...
When Young Master Jun saw this expression, he finally managed to confirm one thing in his heart. So it turned out that the phrase ‘nose turning crooked with anger’, was actually true! He used to think it was an exceptionally exaggerated descriptive phrase. It was definitely impossible for a person’s nose to turn crooked from anger alone... But looking at the appearance of this Manor Lord now, it had directly proven this point! So it was indeed true that a person’s nose could turn crooked from anger...
“I wasn’t asking about this!” Miao Jing Yun’s stern face had become as black as the bottom of a wok.
This brat, to think that he wanted to cover the matter for him. But to think that not only did he not appreciate it, he’d even directly confessed to the whole thing. At first, he still thought that this kid still had some brains. But from the looks of it now, this was clearly a dumb wooden bird...
“Then what are you asking about?” Jun Mo Xie froze slightly. Knowing that he’d confessed wrongly, he hurriedly tried to cover the matter up. “Right right, the matter last night was truly very precarious. It’s all my fault for offending too many people, nearly implicating Miss Miao. It’s all my fault...”
Everyone was stunned speechless once again. Just what was this fellow talking about this time?
Only when they listened further, did they realize that he was talking about the matter last night...
“Last night, six masked men suddenly appeared before me, blocking the path... all of them were powerful experts, and they said that I’d offended someone whom I couldn’t afford to offend, and they were here to claim my life. I was completely at a loss of what to do. I’d only arrived here for a few days, and the number of people I know can be counted on my fingers! However, they wouldn’t let me explain and wanted to directly kill me. That was truly a precarious situation ah. Even I thought that we were going to meet with tragedy this time. But just at the critical moment, suddenly...” Jun Mo Xie recounted with lingering fear.
“Stop!” Miao Jing Yun hurriedly stopped him. “This old man was also not asking about this matter!”
The Zhan Family still did not know that there was another mysterious expert in the Misty Illusory Manor. This old man does not intend to reveal it at all... to think that you almost leaked all of it out...
But after having his question misinterpreted twice like this, this old man’s image had been greatly tarnished. This brat was truly too terrible...
“I was asking... what you think about last night’s miracle?!” Miao Jing Yun directly said this time. Who knew what other nonsense this kid would spout if he continued playing elusive...
“Miracle? Oh... so you were talking about that.” Jun Mo Xie nodded with realization. Why didn’t you say it earlier? Why did you make it so complicated, causing this daddy to misunderstand... I thought that you were here to demand an explanation for your granddaughter...
Truthfully, Jun Mo Xie could not be blamed for thinking like this... Because... this matter had all been caused by him. In Young Master Jun’s eyes, this matter was not even worth a mention at all... This daddy is already preparing to use this miracle on your Rainbow Holy Tree; what is a few stalks of bamboo worth compared to it?
Thus, Jun Mo Xie hadn’t thought in this direction at all, resulting in this awkward situation.
In addition, the moment he saw Miao Jing Yun, he suddenly had a guilty conscience, immediately linking it to Miao Xiao Miao. He had immediately confirmed that this old fellow must have come to look for him because of his granddaughter. And perhaps, he might even turn forceful, dragging him away to marry his granddaughter...
“If not this... what other matter can it be?” Miao Jing Yun forcefully suppressed the rage in his heart, trying his best to maintain the prestige and bearings of the Misty Illusory Manor’s Manor Lord. However, he was already at his limits and would begin emitting steam from all his seven orifices at any time...
“Actually, from the way I see it, yesterday’s matter was just a coincidence.” Jun Mo Xie heaved a sigh of relief in his heart as he began in a relaxed manner. “Ever since the dawn of Xuan Xuan Continent, the number of miracles that have appeared in this land can be said to be innumerable. There are countless legends and myths spreading all over the world, and there are even some who say that the Pillar of Heavens Mountains where the War for Seizing the Heavens are held is something created by the power of the gods...
“And among the commoners, there are also many amazing stories of deities descending to the human world from the heavens. Even in the current age, many people still have images and statues of gods and idols in their homes which they pray to and worship, seeking protection and prosperity for their families, bountiful harvests, favorable weather, and the peace of the country...
“In Tian Xiang... there’s a story that a god...”
“Even in the vast prairie, the people there worship the Wolf God. As for the miracles there, there are a total of...
“Even in the palace, many people believed in sacrificing to the gods and receiving miracles. There are also quite a few strange occurrences recorded in palaces, for example...
“Even the current emperors and kings... Take for instance...”
These 16 old fellows were all completely dumbfounded, with their mouths hanging wide open. Today had truly been a huge eye-opening experience for them. They could only watch on, speechless, as Jun Mo Xie prattled on and on, drawing examples from the start of time to present day, from Tian Xiang to the prairie, from the continent to the strange races, from commoners to kings and emperors...
Truly too f*cking erudite and informed, extremely well versed in both ancient and modern learning!
Too f*cking knowledgeable!
But... do you think the few of us came all the way here today to hear you talk about the history of legends and miracles?
The 16 old fogies, including Cao Guo Feng and the rest, simply wished that they could catch this wretched fellow and give him a good beating!
Why is this kid’s mouth so terrifying?
“... So based on all these examples, this miracle thing ah...” After speaking for so long, Jun Mo Xie finally arrived at the main point. All the old men sat up and perked their ears. Looks like this kid finally couldn’t drag it out any longer? I’ll like to see how he explains last night’s matter! In that moment, they all expectantly. Especially Zhan Wu Yun and Gu Yun Yang, the two of them looked like they were waiting to watch a good show...
“... is actually very ephemeral and difficult to grasp... There’s no way to determine or predict it. If you want my opinion... truthfully, I’m not really sure what’s going on as well. That’s all I have to say; if there’s anything I’m lacking...” Jun Mo Xie said with a very humble smile, “Please guide me.”
All the old fellows nearly fainted together!
