He raised his head and as he looked at Jun Mo Xie, a deep hatred suddenly blazed in his eyes! Clenching his teeth, he said meaningfully. “Mo Jun Ye! What a good Free and Natural Physique holder! If you’re hoping to commit all kinds of evil acts in the Misty Illusory Manor, this Young Master will not tolerate you!”
Jun Mo Xie furrowed his brows.
What the f*ck is wrong with this fellow? His words didn’t make any sense, and he sounded completely bonkers. It’s clear that this fellow was just being jealous; when did this daddy commit any evil acts? Besides… even if I wanted to commit evil acts… with just your status, are you worthy of knowing them? A fellow like you also has the face to fight over a woman with this daddy? Go back and train another 5,000 years first!
Jun Mo Xie was quite disinterested about this kind of jealousy matters. When he was together with Guan Qing Han, Dugu Xiao Yi, and even Mei Xue Yan, none of them were not drop dead gorgeous beauties. But even then, he hadn’t encountered such a situation of jealousy before…
From the way he saw it, these kind of actions were just the antics of children, completely worthless and lame. So this time, he wasn’t about to bother himself with this guy…
“Qiu Peng! What is the meaning of those words? Are you trying to flaunt your status as the Young Master of the Qiu Family in front of my Miao Family Residence?” Before Jun Mo Xie could speak, Miao Xiao Miao had already erupted with anger!
“Little sister Xiao Miao… you are inexperienced and do not know about the dangers of the world, and the evil in people’s hearts. This Brother Mo had only arrived in the Misty Illusory Manor for a short time, who knows what kind of person he really is, and what his motives are for coming into the Misty Illusory Manor? You must not be deceived by him!” Qiu Peng’s handsome face was twisted in a venomous manner. “Little sister Xiao Miao, you need to be careful.”
“What business is it of yours whether I am inexperienced or not, or whether I’m careful? Also, Brother Qiu, please don’t keep the words ‘Little sister Xiao Miao’ hanging on your mouth all the time. Although our families are old friends, Brother Qiu can just refer to me as Sister Miao!” Miao Xiao Miao was so angry that her entire body trembled. How could she still have the mind to speak nicely to Qiu Peng?
How dare hel smear my Jun Ye’s name so outrageously… How I wish… that he was really trying to deceive me… but he isn’t even willing to do that…
If today was not a happy occasion for her grandfather, Miao Xiao Miao would already have given Qiu Peng a good beating!
Too infuriating!
Jun Mo Xie smiled lightly as he tilted his head and looked at Qiu Peng with some interest. “By Young Master Qiu’s words, are you hinting… that your Qiu Family is investigating me?”
Qiu Peng shuddered lightly when he heard those words, and he forced a cold sneer onto his face. “As the saying goes, true gold is not scared of being refined by fire! If your conscience is clear, would you have anything to fear?” He hadn’t expected that this person’s intelligence was so high. With just a single sentence, he’d guessed that his family was investigating him.
But now that the matter had reached such a point, he could not continue avoiding it. “Little sister Xiao Miao, even if you really… it’s still not too late to think about it again after the investigations had concluded!”
“Get out of my sight immediately! I don’t want to see you ever again, or to hear your voice! I’m also not interested in the investigation of your Qiu Family! Also, are you deaf? I told you not to call me Little sister Xiao Miao anymore!” Miao Xiao Miao was clearly infuriated as she stamped her foot and scolded.
“Mo Jun Ye, if you dare to do anything to my Little sister Xiao Miao… I will take your little life!” Qiu Peng’s face turned exceedingly ugly after hearing Miao Xiao Miao chasing him away, and he instantly turned his anger onto this Free and Natural Physique guy as he stared at Jun Mo Xie and said with gritted teeth.
After speaking, he turned around to leave.
“My life… huh?” Jun Mo Xie snorted coldly under his breath as killing intent flashed in his eyes. Jun Mo Xie never partook in any jealousy contest, but he had something that he was very good at: Killing!
That kid’s threat had lit up the killing intent in Young Master Jun’s heart…
At this time, another four, five youngsters strolled over, smiling suavely. One of them laughed. “Ah, so it turns out that Little sister Xiao Miao and Brother Qiu are here as expected. Looks like we hadn’t found the wrong place.”
Qiu Peng swept his eyes over them coldly and snorted. “What are the few of you here for? Little sister Xiao Miao’s heart has already been taken. There’s no point even if you come here now. Even if we take 10,000 steps backwards and allow you to compete fairly, could you be better than Young Master Mo Jun Ye who has the fabled Free and Natural Physique and unlimited potential?!”
Whenever these old love rivals came together, they would always be fighting against each other under the table, neither side willing to relent to the other. When Qiu Peng saw them in the past, he would always vie to be more impressive with his words, and more broad minded in comparison to these people. But today, the situation had changed greatly.
The reason was that this time, they had a common enemy; a very strong opponent to remove first!
Mo Jun Ye!
The owner of the legendary Free and Natural Physique, the genius with the greatest and most immeasurable potential!
The youths who’d just arrived froze, and they turned their eyes at the same time to glare at the only man beside Miao Xiao Miao. His shoulders trembling slightly, one of them asked with a forced smile. “Little sister Xiao Miao, this is…”
Although Miao Xiao Miao’s heart was bursting with anger, but due to the formality of today’s event, she had no choice but to do the introductions again.
When she heard those ill-intentioned words from Qiu Peng, Miao Xiao Miao nearly exploded with rage. Was I really that naive in the past? To think that I’ve never noticed that this ‘Brother Qiu’ was actually such a horrible person! Zhan Qing Feng is like that, and now, Qiu Peng is like that as well!
Jun Mo Xie looked at Qiu Peng, and he directly placed this person into his list of enemies. He did not even have the desire to toy with this kind of narrow minded and pretentious fellow. That greasy looking fellow was simply too low grade! It was not worth his time! At best, he would just find a suitable time and slit his throat and end the matter…
“So it’s the Free and Natural Physique genius that shocked the entire Misty Illusory Manor not long ago, Brother Mo Jun Ye?” The youth smiled lightly and said. “This one is the Li Family’s Li Xing Yue.”
“This one is the Meng Family’s Meng Xian Ru.”
“This one is the Zhang Family’s Zhang Qi Yun.”
“This one is the Yun Family’s Yun Xiao.”
The four of them reported their names together and clasped their fists. At the same time, Li Xing Yue laughed aloud. “Looks like we have an additional strong competitor now ah. Brother Mo, your arrival has really made the competition much harder for us.”
Jun Mo Xie’s eyes shone as he chuckled good naturedly. “How could that be? Brother Li is mistaken with your words. I am not your opponent. Your opponent has always been Miss Miao alone from the very start. The choice had been in her hands all along. This matter doesn’t really have anything to do with me right?”
“HAHA… Brother Mo’s words indeed makes great sense.” Li Xing Yue laughed aloud. “Although Brother Mo’s words sound a little as if you’re trying to absolve yourself, it is undoubtedly true. Miss Miao must have found it humorous to watch us fight among ourselves!”
The others also began to laugh and joke along. Jun Mo Xie watched on with surprise and some praise. From the looks of it, these guys were not that narrow minded. At least, they were miles apart from the kind of losers that only knew how to be jealous, as he’d imagined.
“Hmph, continue to laugh then. When Little sister Xiao Miao ends up suffering and living in regret for the rest of her life, I’ll see if you can cry!”
Qiu Peng snorted coldly. He’d always strutted about thinking that he was more handsome, intelligent, talented, and much more charming than others. He who always felt that he was better than others, felt exceedingly uncomfortable to see that things hadn’t proceeded according to his expected result. Unable to bear it, he butted in and added another sentence.
“Qiu Peng! It’s Little sister Xiao Miao’s decision who she chooses to be with, and it is something that we have no rights to interfere in!” Meng Xian Ru furrowed his brows and roared. “Even if she didn’t choose any of us, as long as Little sister Xiao Miao truly likes the person, we will only congratulate her and bless her with happiness! What is a petty fellow like you with a mind as narrow as a chicken’s trying to do by spurring us on with your words? Could it be that you will only be happy when we fight each other to the death? And let Little sister Xiao Miao’s heart be hurt because of us?! What are your intentions in continuously trying to set us against Brother Mo?”
These people originally still had ambition towards Miao Xiao Miao, but they’d all been warned sternly by their families that they must not provoke the genius with the Free and Natural Physique no matter what! Even now, they did not dare to be rude, and in fact had to try to befriend the latter. In contrast, they did not have any intentions to be courteous to Qiu Peng, and they directly dumped all their frustrations onto him.
Truthfully, before Qiu Peng came, the elders of his family had also warned him sternly about the same thing. But after seeing Miao Xiao Miao and Jun Mo Xie behaving so intimately, he instantly became blinded with anger and jealousy, no longer bothering about anything else…
“Hmph! Since our opinions are so different, to say even one word more is a waste of breath. This Young Master is not interesting in bickering here with you lot. Today is the Manor Lord’s 500th grand birthday. Dare I ask Young Master Mo, what precious gift have you brought for this celebration?” Qiu Peng asked with a cold smile.
According to all sources, Mo Jun Ye had arrived at the Misty Illusory Manor completely empty handed, without even a bit of family backing. What kind of expensive stuff could he even take out? Everyone was cursing Qiu Peng for being shameless in their hearts. If you were only depending on only yourself, could you take out any proper gift?!
“Why? Is Young Master Qiu offering to help me with the gift?” Jun Mo Xie did not even blink as he asked in an uninterested manner.
“Haha… this Young Master had always been a thrifty person, where would I have so much silver to come up with a gift on a stranger’s behalf?” Qiu Peng laughed and said. “We’ll see other at the banquet then. Later, this Young Master would like to see for myself what kind of precious gift the legendary Free and Natural Physique holder is going to take out!”
After saying that, Qiu Peng left, laughing madly.
“How truly nauseating!” Yun Xiao spat with disgust. “The Qiu Family had always been a strict and proper family. How did they produce such a slimy fellow? How upsetting!”
Li Xing Yue smiled and said in a more serious tone. “Everyone, there’s no need to be too upset. I heard that today, apart from the birthday celebration, the Manor Lord intends to elect a suitable husband for Miss Miao. I’m afraid Qiu Peng’s reaction today was because of this matter. But to compete with gifts… that’s truly a little too childish…”
Everyone here naturally already knew about this matter. But the reason Li Xing Yue had said this was clearly to remind Jun Mo Xie.
This matter had already been publicized a year ago. That was the reason why so many younger generation geniuses had turned up today. All of them were hoping to scale to the heavens in one stroke. If they could become Miao Xiao Miao’s husband… they would truly be the holder of all wealth, power and beauty…
But now that Li Xing Yue and the rest saw how close Miao Xiao Miao and Mo Xie was, they’d clearly decided to give up.
This sentence was a pure reminder, and an expression of friendship…
Miao Xiao Miao smiled lightly and looked gently at Jun Mo Xie as she said, “Xiao Miao will thank Elder Brother Li for the reminder on Jun Ye’s behalf.”
Those words were already as if she was speaking as Mo Jun Ye’s wife. It was like how a gentle and caring wife would thank her husband’s friends for their help…
