Chapter 981: Kowtow!
"You what you? Quickly scram to the side for me! Keep prattling in front of me and this daddy will have your tongue removed and fed to the dogs! How f*cking annoying, thinking yourself to be an elderly just because you have a bit of white hair and some wrinkled skin... not even a hundred years old and you're already full of white hair? One can only say that you're useless! You don't have any abilities and yet you dare to come out here and act tough? What rights do you have to act tough? With just that disgusting mouth of yours? Even if you don't feel embarrassed, I'm ashamed for you..." Jun Mo Xie continued with a disgusted snort.
The entire crowd was instantly stunned!
This brat hadn't seemed this vicious during the competition. But now, just this formidability in scolding was likely something that nobody in the entire Misty Illusory Manor could match. This skill of his was truly too refined...
But after seeing this old fellow get scolded until he almost had a stroke, nobody dared to raise their heads no matter how Zhan Qing Feng and Zhan Yu Shu looked in their direction for help. Whether their relationship was good or not, everyone simply pretended as if there was a pile of gold under their feet. What a joke, didn't you see that old tortoise being cursed to such a pitiful state? If we went up and also got cussed out like that... where will we put our face in the future...
We simply can't offend that person ah... that person is the possessor of the legendary Free and Natural Physique. Even your mighty Zhan Family can only use sneaky tricks against him, not daring to even hurt so much as a hair on his body. What are we worth, ah? Not only will we fail to change the situation, we will end up opposing this Free and Natural Physique prodigy. Do you take us for fools?
Jun Mo Xie's intended purpose had been achieved.
Right now, the Zhan Family two brothers were truly at an extremely awkward state with no one to look to save them.
In the end, it was actually Miao Xiao Miao who sighed and advised in a soft voice. "Brother Mo... let's put today's matter behind and stop now. It'll be beneficial for both sides as well... If you thoroughly offend the Zhan Family, your future here..."
"Beneficial for both sides? After today's matter, is there still a possibility for me and them to coexist peacefully? Even if I let them off today magnanimously, do you think that those two brothers will cast away their hatred because of it? Or do you think that the Zhan Family will go lightly on me because of this, forgetting the enmity?" Jun Mo Xie rolled his eyes and asked.
"Eh... impossible." Miao Xiao Miao instantly understood as well. Her thinking had been too naive.
Mo Jun Ye had already thoroughly offended the Zhan Family, so even if he offended them further, what difference would it make? Things had already worsened to such a state that it couldn't get any worse. So even if the situation was aggravated ten times over, the result would be the same... This was basically the saying: 'when you're covered with lice, you don't itch; when you're up to your ears in debt, you stop worrying'.
"I say... can the two of you over there hurry up? Everyone here is a busy person... how much longer are you planning to delay this for?" Jun Mo Xie said in an impatient manner. "It's such a simple matter. I'm not asking you to kill yourselves; is there a need to be so troubled? Isn't it just 10 kowtows and calling me Grandpa 10 times only What's the big deal? Just bend the knee, and move your mouth; it'll be over in a moment... look at how you're hemming and hawing like little girls."
The crowd nearly all fainted together.
"Just" 10 kowtows?
And 'only'?
Why does it sound so simple in your mouth?
Why don't you try it yourself and see if it's that simple?
"Mo Jun Ye, are you really intending to be so ruthless? You're really dead set on bringing our two sides to an irreconcilable state?" Zhan Yu Shu's expression was cold and stern.
"Second Young Master Zhan jests. What hatred is there between us? Isn't it just a simple bet which you lost? You were the ones who said that one must honor their words if they dare to bet. And you two Young Masters should also know the results of breaking your promise very well. The choice is in your hands ah... But since Second Young Master Zhan has asked, I don't wish to humour you with more bullsh*t. I'll just ask something in return. Of the five matches just now, if I lost even a single one, conceding the bet, would you let me off on those three conditions? Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you! You have made your own law only to fall foul of it yourself; who can you blame?!"
Jun Mo Xie looked mockingly at him. "Second Young Master Zhan, I will give you a word of advice. Do not assume that you are the only clever person in this world, thinking that you can treat the rest of the world as fools to be manipulated as you please... With your current intellect, I really can't bear to scold you..."
"Indeed! There are truly lots of clever people in this world! And there are also many who enjoy disguising themselves as pigs to devour tigers. People with ulterior motives are also aplenty..."
A boisterous voice rang out as a white robed old man suddenly appeared. "Young Master Mo is indeed a peerlessly clever person who has seen through everything in life, while all things in the world are already in the palms of your hands. Has this old man spoke rightly?"
"Zhan Bing Feng! The joint chief of the Zhan Family! This person is the younger brother of the current Zhan Family's Patriarch! He actually came personally this time!" Miao Xiao Miao transmitted her voice to Jun Mo Xie, informing him of the identity of this person.
When Zhan Qing Feng and Zhan Yu Shu saw this old man, their eyes lit up with a 'our saviour is here' excited gleam. They were like a couple of drowning men who'd suddenly spotted a piece of floating wood!
"Joint chief? Doesn't seem that way..." Jun Mo Xie chuckled lightly in his heart. This situation to the entire Zhan Family should most likely only be a minor matter. To appear now when the Zhan Family was at a disadvantage and embarrassed, the position of this Zhan Family should not be low. However, it shouldn't be at the level of a real joint chief...
Looks like this so-called joint chief is just a signboard...
Of course, the strength of this 'joint chief' should also not be underestimated, having already reached the second level of Saint Emperor, on the same level of his second master-in-name Bai Qi Feng...
"Dare I ask, for Senior to come here so abruptly today, is it to help those two Zhan Family brothers slip away from fulfilling their promise?" Jun Mo Xie said with a light chuckle. The meaning in his words was not courteous in the slightest!
"Our Zhan Family has always kept to our words, honoring our promises. Why would we do something so shameless?" Zhan Bing Feng said with a cold smirk. "Besides, these two disgraceful wretches actually arranged such a huge matter behind the family's back, tarnishing our good reputation. Even if you didn't want to pursue it, this old man would not let them off!"
"What a good 'honoring our promises'. But there's no way I won't pursue the matter." Jun Mo Xie replied discourteously. "Even if your Zhan Family disapproves of their actions, those two Young Master Zhan already swore a blood oath on your Zhan Family's eight generations of ancestors and descendants! This matter has been witnessed by everyone here, and even the heavens and earth!"
When he heard the words 'witnessed by heaven and earth', Zhan Bing Feng felt his heart drop. In that moment, he knew that the other side was bent on not letting the matter go.
However, the fact that Zhan Bing Feng had been able to reach his current status meant that he was naturally not a simple person. Smiling lightly, he said, "Young Master Mo can put your mind at ease. As the saying goes, words said are like the wind, unable to be taken back. Whether or not there's a blood oath, our Zhan Family will definitely not go back on our words. Right now, this old man will get these two disgraceful things to fulfill their vows!"
As he said that, he took one large step forward in front of Jun Mo Xie and turned around, hollering. "You two little bastards! Daring to bet but not daring to admit your loss, disgracing the reputation of our Zhan Family! Hurry up and come over here, kneel down and fulfill your promise!"
Zhan Qing Feng and Zhan Yu Shu's faces turned the color of dead ash as they hurriedly knelt down on the ground. Then, they respectfully kowtowed 10 times and shouted 'Grandpa' 10 times!
Miao Xiao Miao's face instantly changed.
At this time, Jun Mo Xie also snorted coldly. "What are the two of you doing? Which direction are you facing as you kneel?"
Zhan Bing Feng's face stiffened and he remained quiet, not saying anything. However, his tall and well built frame still remained right in front of Jun Mo Xie, covering him completely. The kowtows and acknowledgement of 'Grandpa' had all been intercepted by him.
Furthermore, Zhan Bing Feng was indeed the two's grand uncle!
This was simply too despicable!
But when confronted with this question now, they couldn't answer at all. There was basically no way to answer this. Those who knew what was going on would be able to see the strangeness in their postures... but because they were cheating shamelessly, they couldn't answer the question...
Could it be you expect us to admit in public that we weren't kowtowing to you!?
"Hur hur... young friend Mo, our Zhan Family has indeed lost this challenge. Alright, don't worry, we will definitely get that entry slot for you. Five days later when the Spiritual Herbal Gardens is open, this old man guarantees on behalf of the entire Zhan Family that there will definitely be a slot for you! As for that last condition, young friend Mo can look for us anytime to raise it. Our Zhan Family will definitely not go back on our words!"
Zhan Bing Feng laughed aloud. "Today, our Zhan Family's reputation had been completely tarnished by these two brats. This Seat still needs to bring them back home to deal with them, so we'll be bidding our farewell now." With a swift grab, he carried Zhan Qing Feng and Zhan Yu Shu up, quickly jumping out of the window and disappearing without a trace...
He actually didn't even give Jun Mo Xie a chance to speak and instantly escaped...
"Motherf*cker! Shameless! The young are shameless, and the old is even more despicable! The Zhan Family is simply a family of shameless and despicable people! Bunch of hooligans! Joint chief my ass! I pui ! Dogsh*t joint chief!" Jun Mo Xie had nowhere to vent his anger, and he directly cursed with rage.
But though he was incensed and was cursing freely, and though everyone knew that the Zhan Family had behaved shamelessly, those 10 kowtows had still become a mark of humiliation that the Zhan Family would never be able to wash away! Even if Zhan Bing Feng had been blocking in front of Jun Mo Xie, it was still the same!
Because everyone knew why there was the 10 kowtows...
Right now, the entire crowd was as silent as cicadas during winter, and not a single person dared to make a single sound. For the past few thousand years, no one had ever dared to cuss at the Zhan Family in public like this before. Right now, it was only great prodigy Mo's voice. If the rest of them so much as made the slightest bit of sound and ended up being mistaken by the Zhan Family, ending up being the focus of their revenge, they would really be finished...
