“I wonder what is Palace Lord Mo’s opinion?...” Miao Zhan chuckled. “We, the Misty Illusory Manor, belongs away from the secular world. When it comes to the Xuan Xuan Continent, we will forever watch from afar. We really do not have much understanding of the Evil Monarch. Palace Lord Mo can share your opinions and the tactics the Elusive World of Immortals will be employing this time. We use it as a reference, how is that?”
Mo Wu Dao laughed bitterly. “Senior Miao is truly impressive; just a sentence alone, you’ve pushed this question back to this junior. Haha, however, as to this matter, I truly have nothing to say. It is not because I’m trying to evade giving my opinions, but because... my brother, Mo Xiao Yao, truly died a tragic death in the hands of the Evil Monarch Jun Mo Xie. This vengeance and hatred is too deep. So... no matter what I say, it will be biased and unfair...”
He furrowed his brows, as if he were in a pinch. “If Seniors could give me your pointers, that would be best. But if it is difficult to have an opinion yet... then it’s wait for Supreme Golden City’s Xi Ruo Chen, and Illusory Blood Sea Huyan Ao Bo to arrive first. Then, we can come up with a countermeasure to deal with this situation together!”
Miao Zhan gave a non committal smile and replied. “Palace Lord Mo is frank, speaking from your bottom of your heart. But it has been a tiring journey for everyone; we should get some rest first. This matter is not urgent. There is still time before the fifteenth. We completely have enough time to gather our brains to think of a perfect countermeasure.”
A sharp look flashed across Mo Wu Dao’s eyes before vanishing. He smiled sincerely and replied. “As such, I’d have to trouble Senior to worry about it then.”
Everyone from the Miao Family returned to their tent, all of them wearing a frown. Zhan Wu Yun also came in to join them, sitting down.
“What do you think of this Mo Wu Dao?” Miao Zhan asked solemnly, looking at everyone with his brows furrowed.
“This Mo Wu Dao is truly difficult to analyze. If we are able to figure him out, I believe it will be the equivalent of figuring out half of Jun Mo Xie! Mo Wu Dao holds the leading position amongst the three Holy Lands! If... then in the future, if we work with the three Holy Lands in the future, we will have more confidence! And our current goal is to find out the disposition and characteristics of Jun Mo Xie, as well as his strengths and weaknesses. If the three Holy Lands are really... defeated, this is also a necessary point for working with the Evil Monarch!”
“This is also what the Manor Lord had seriously instructed us to absolutely do before we came, and it must be done well!”
Miao Zhan was very serious and cautious when he said this line. Especially when he said the line ‘If the three Holy Lands are really defeated’, he obviously hesitated, but ultimately said it. But it was obvious that he had extreme difficulty getting the word ‘defeated’ out!
As if in the heart of this expert of Misty Illusory Manor, the defeat of the three Holy Lands in the hands of the Evil Monarch was something that sounded ridiculous, but not completely impossible!
The moment this was said, everyone fell into deep thoughts. Everyone was clear what Miao Zhan meant by his words.
They only had a brief interaction with Mo Wu Dao; they had barely had any significant exchanges and they parted ways just like that. Everyone could easily repeat the conversation between Miao Zhan and Mo Wu Dao earlier.
They were just pleasantries!
From start to end, they were just pleasantries!
But Miao Zhan wanted to find out valuable information from these couple of pleasantries! And from there, analyze Mo Wu Dao as a person! These were high expectations!
Even Miao Xiao Miao was shocked. In her point of view, from how harmonious the exchange between both parties were just now, she though this Sixth Grandpa had a good impression of this Palace Lord of Elusive World of Immortals, as if there was a familiarity at first sight. Who knew that the moment he turned around, he wanted to dissect the other person’s mind and thoughts...
The world of the adults was truly... incomprehensible.
“This person, Mo Wu Dao... Mo Wu Dao...” Miao Dao scrunched his brows and begin think hard. He and Miao Jian were people who were like murderous butchers. It was really not their forte to be thinking and analyzing in detail...
After murmuring to himself for quite a while, he said, “I don’t know why; I just don’t like this person!”
After such a long time, he only managed to come up with this sentence. Miao Zhan was extremely angry. You don’t say?! Who cares whether you like or dislike him! I only want to know ‘why’! And this instead, you don’t even know this most important part!
But Miao Jian was nodding his head aggressively, agreeing with his brother.
Miao Xiao Miao burst into giggles.
“Wu Feng, you go first.” Miao Zhan sighed. This was also the greatest meaning he had for calling Zhan Wu Feng. And the only purpose and use Zhan Wu Feng had on this operation.
Only someone who was used to playing with schemes and plots was an expert at analyzing! Letting him make an analysis was making good use of someone’s talent!
“Mo Wu Dao...” Zhan Wu Feng suck in a breath of air as he tried to recall everything that occurred earlier. “This person as an air of a leader and is extremely approachable, making people unknowingly feel refreshed and harmonious when around him... And one more thing, be it in his words or actions, it reveals that he is someone with good upbringing and poise...
“When he speaks, he always look right into the eyes of the other party, and his gaze is sincere, showing his utmost sincerity. Especially when it comes to his control of his speech. It is likely that he has gone through strict training. He knows exactly which words to emphasize, which sentence to intentionally deliver later, what tone to use for each word!”
Zhan Wu Feng said, “This is something that only aristocrats need to be trained in. But most aristocratic families will not go to this extent. Someone like this will not appear without the accumulated efforts of numerous generations! Yet Mo Wu Dao has been brought to the point of perfection and can be said to be an expert amongst experts in this aspect, which is truly exceptional...”
A genuine look of admiration appeared in Miao Zhan’s eyes.
This analysis by Zhan Wu Feng began from the exterior in dissecting Mo Wu Dao as a person. He did not go straight into determining how this person was like, but instead, through his words and speech, it outlined Mo Wu Dao’s manner and temperament. No wonder this person was considered the second in command in the Zhan Family. He truly was extraordinary.
“And there is one more thing that is important. Mo Wu Dao is exceptionally good at taking control of situations subtly! Each time he takes control of the direction of the conversation, he makes use of the other party’s replies to subtly yet forcefully bring the control back to himself. Yet he is invulnerable! If not for this review in hindsight, one really might not see this truth!”
Zhan Wu Feng raised his head and closed his eyes as he carefully recalled the scenario earlier. But he continued to speak slowly.
“In fact, the moment he said his first sentence, he had already revealed his hostility towards the Evil Monarch! But it did not come out from his mouth; he was hoping that someone else would spell it out for him... Had it been anyone else, they may really fall into his trap...”
“Upon seeing Sixth Uncle’s rejection of commenting, as if he realized that this method didn’t work, he promptly retreated and changed to a tactic of retreating to advance further. By taking the initiative to speak of how his brother died in the hands of Jun Mo Xie, he would be able to shun from suspicion. Otherwise, his words would be biased and unfair. This will make us feel that he is frank and will absolutely remain impartial despite his personal reasons. Which will in turn further gain our recognition and leave a favorable impression...”
Zhan Wu Feng was a generation lower than Miao Zhan, Miao Dao and Miao Jian, so he referred to him as Sixth Uncle...
“In this way, first, we will understand that there is an immense hatred and enmity between the two of them that is irreconcilable. Secondly, he showed his fairness and strict impartialness! Putting on an image of a fair and upright hero... making everyone feel a deep veneration for him! Everyone who hears his words will think: His own brother has been killed by someone, but he is still able to keep to his principles of being fair. This person is truly one who is benevolent.. which is admirable!
“And when he puts it this way, although it makes clear of the ‘fairness’ he upholds, it is essentially the greatest unfairness! Because we will think... Mo Wu Dao is so highly principled, but Jun Mo Xie still killed his brother... Then Jun Mo Xie is in the wrong, and till today, the enmity between them has yet to be resolved... Is this Jun Mo Xie a huge demon? The type that is capable of all sorts of evil?
“So although Mo Wu Dao portrays himself as backing off, he essentially had taken a great step forward! And if we’re unable to analyze and see this step he took, we will subconsciously develop a prejudice against Jun Mo Xie, or even a definitive opinion of Jun Mo Xie. Subconsciously, in our future interactions with Jun Mo Xie, we will feel feel estranged about him. We don’t even need to handle anything, just a glance will suffice.
“And for Jun Mo Xie to be able to get to where he is today, how could he be simple? Every look and action will be enough for him to notice. The moment he is on his guard, during this sensitive period, his subconscious mind will regard the Misty Illusory Manor as his enemy! And the three Holy Lands only needs to add fuel to the fire, and it will become a fact, even if it is not our intention! So... all these can be said to be Mo Wu Dao’s plot! In a couple of exchanges, he created a powerful enemy for Jun Mo Xie, and at the same time, obtained a definite ally for the three Holy Lands!
“Because from the news, this person Jun Mo Xie is someone who has an unbridled and absolutely unrestrained temperament! This person has never bothered about who his opponents were and has never been afraid. When it is time to strike, he will go ahead even if it’s the Emperor... He even dares to offend the three Holy Lands so blatantly, then that goes to say that he may not necessarily be bothered by the Misty Illusory Manor. At most, he only did not wish to have to deal with another strong opponent when he was dealing with the three Holy Lands...”
“So the moment we heard Mo Wu Dao’s words, and it develops an impact on us, even if it is the slightest, the opposition between us and Evil Monarch is inevitable! Because this is the only weakness someone Jun Mo Xie has that his opponent can use! Amplifying the greatest trait of the enemy and making use of it, Mo Wu Dao is truly outstanding in his schemes and tactics!” Zhan Wu Yun let out a long sigh, his throat feeling a little parched from talking. He glanced around to look for a cup and poured some water for himself and gulped it down.
After he rubbed his mouth, he continued. “So, Sixth Uncle... Wu Feng thinks that this person Mo Wu Dao... is very sinister! He intends to make use of us! There is no doubt about this!”
Zhan Wu Feng had provided a thorough and clear, logical analysis!
But Miao Zhan, Miao Xiao Miao, Miao Dao and Miao Jian were perplexed hearing this.
Because putting aside whether Zhan Wu Feng’s analysis was reasonable temporarily, the premise he spoke of was extremely clear: he stood firmly on the side of Jun Mo Xie!
Firm and unwavering!
But why?
