[Editor: I know one that’s better. Why should you never mess with a MC? Cause karma’s a huge bitch and plot armor. Now, tell me readers, is there a story more comical than this.?] As for the credibility of the news, this time, no one was really suspicious about it being fabricated. The reason for this was due to the fact that the news was directly passed on from two really credible sources and it would be quite impossible to influence both of them to tell the same tale! First, there was Jun Mo Xie’s die-hard friend, Tang Yuan. Since he was there to personally to witness the medical examination, his painful tale of his dear friend becoming a cripple was quite credible. The second, who was much more reliable and trustworthy than Tang Yuan, was the Imperial Doctor, Fang, himself. If the “Death Warding Fang” himself had proclaimed that it was a terrible situation with no possible hope for recovery, then there truly would be no one under the heavens that would ever be able to cure the worthless debauchee, Jun Mo Xie. This was the belief that everyone had. Who would dare to doubt it now? People who still continued to be suspicious in spite of all this are simply fools who don’t wish to believe the truth and just make things difficult for themselves. Almost everyone among the nobility had once suffered from some injury or ailment. They obviously knew about the amazing knowledge and prowess of Doctor Fang and his ability to recuperate and bring people back to their prime state. If one had an excellent relationship with Doctor Fang, then, in times of need, his support and knowledge in medicine would be akin to having a second life! If anyone actually dared to say out loud, “I doubt the diagnosis made by Doctor Fang”, then it wouldn’t even take half a day for him to completely drown in people’s spittle. In fact, the notion of trickery or fraud being involved was also completely discarded by these people. They knew that it would be impossible for even Grandpa Jun or the Emperor himself to be able to fool Doctor Fang, let alone this worthless debauchee Jun Mo Xie who had such an insignificant cultivation level. “I never expected that the matter with Jun Mo Xie would take such a weird course of events. Something just doesn’t seem to be quite right!” In the residence of Grand Preceptor Li, Li Youran stood there looking tall and handsome. Looking at the three sitting in front of him, he wrinkled his eyebrows and said, “Li Feng, are you absolutely sure that this news delivered by Doctor Fang is true?” “I am absolutely certain of it” A hoarse voice resounded within the residence and Grand Preceptor Li Shang walked in into the room bringing along with him a heavy presence. Looking at his grandsons, Li Shang’s face was completely filled with pleasure and happiness. Jun Zhan Tian, you old man! Even if you are strong, so what? What could you alone possibly ever achieve? The fact that your Jun family is going to go down the drain is already set in stone and even the mighty gods themselves would not be able to help you. You want Jun Mo Xie to participate in the imperial court politics as a civil servant? Even if we ignore his past as a debauchee, do you think that I would ever give him a chance to rise up in the ranks? You of all people should know that most of the people from the Imperial Civil services are a part of my faction and are completely under my supervision. It will only be a few years before it completely falls under my control! Li Youran let out a happy laugh and said, “Since Grandpa is so sure about this matter, the Jun family no longer poses a threat to us. They don’t even have the qualifications to oppose us in the future anymore.” Li Shang nodded in agreement, but said in a vigilant tone, “However, that’s still the future. For now, we still can’t provoke Jun Zhan Tian or else that old man would really go crazy and begin a killing spree!” He gave a meaningful glance to Li Youran. Li Youran had been publicly slapped, kicked and insulted by Jun Zhan Tian. Although others may not know about it, Li Shang knew how vindictive in nature his grandson was! Li Youran would never talk about it nor show anger or displeasure on his face, he would keep it deep within his heart. He would never refuse to give up and put the matter aside, so if he was given the slightest opportunity, he would surely attempt to take revenge! Li Shang knew this and hence had warned Li Youran so as to persuade him to scrap the idea of taking revenge at this point. After all, looking at the country as a whole and the current situation, General Jun Zhan Tian was someone who no would ever dare to provoke as he was already pushed to point until he was akin to a half-crazed lion! Also, it was especially true now since he also had the protection of His Majesty The Emperor. Along with that fact, last night, the rampage that Jun Zhan Tian had caused managed to reveal his true, hidden strength, which was very surprising. Faced with such domineering strength, any family that dared to face him head on would be completely beaten down to the point of death! Even if it was some of the weaker ones among the Major families, to exterminate them completely and decimate their bloodline was not a difficult thing for Jun Zhan Tian! He was someone who one should absolutely never mess with. Li Youran burst into a smile and said, “Grandfather, you worry too much. I’m not crazy enough to commit such reckless actions. But, to have some fun with Jun Mo Xie wouldn’t be too much of a problem now, would it? People who’ve lost their cultivation are destined to indulge in wine and women. As for the matters between us juniors, presumably, Grandfather and Old Man Jun shouldn’t care too much about it, right?” Li Shang smiled with a hint of coldness reflecting within his eyes and said, “Just don’t go too far.” His four grandsons shouted out in agreement in unison.
[TL: Damn you Jun Xie! Are we going to see more of your contraptions using modern knowledge?]
Also, it seemed as if Grandpa Jun was developing a growing dislike for his grandson or he was extremely addicted to construction projects during this time. He even separated his courtyard into two smaller courtyards and were surrounded by the same high walls on all sides. Jun Mo Xie was confined to one of these halves. As for the adjacent courtyard, the left was for Jun Wu Yi and the right courtyard was reserved for Guan Qing Han.
Both these courtyards were useless and were simply wasting space! They covered up over half the area of the Jun Residence. The other half was occupied by Grandpa Jun, who would live alone. From time to time, one would be able to hear the sounds of things being smashed around and the sound would spread throughout the Jun Residence. Hence, all the servants in the house would do their tasks very quietly and even while walking, they would be afraid to speak too loudly. No one wanted to incur the wrath of this Old Man!
