Chapter 998: Master of the Family of Adultery...
After shocking the crowd, Young Master Jun finally decided that he'd shown off enough this time. This should be enough to stun everyone for quite some time. Satisfied with his work, he retracted his aura. Still, he felt somewhat annoyed at those fellows. This bunch of people's hearts were too weak! Every time this Young Master levelled up in the past, it was always leaping across several tens of levels. I've only skipped three levels this time, but this bunch of old fogies are already falling all over the ground with amazement...
Originally, he was still planning that if these guys were still not shocked, he would continue breaking through. With two hours, he would once again break into the Jade Xuan realm... Earth Xuan... Sky Xuan... But from the looks of things now, there was temporarily no need for such methods. He would save these breakthroughs for future needs...
Slowly opening his eyes, Young Master Jun saw the sea of heated gazes staring at him. "W-what's going on? Why are all the Seniors looking at me like that? I washed my face this morning ah... en, I've also bathed yesterday, and there's no weird smell on my body!" As he said that, he lifted up his arms and sniffed...
Looking at the confused look on this Free and Natural Physique prodigy's face, all these old people felt that their hundreds of years of cultivation and calm state of mind completely crumbling!
To think that this kid was still confused even now...
"Kid, you've just broken through your own bottleneck; didn't you feel it?" Zhan Wu Yun looked at him with an exceedingly strange gaze.
"Have I?" Jun Mo Xie scratched his head innocently. "I didn't feel anything ah, it didn't feel any different from normal cultivation..."
No matter how stable their minds were, all the old fogies found this exceptionally hard to accept, and they felt a faint feeling in their heads...
"Let's not ask anymore. The Free and Natural Physique of the legends is exactly like this... There are basically no such thing as bottlenecks and obstacles... so how would there be any feeling..." Miao Jing Yun shook his head dully and explained. "Even if you asked him, he won't know. If he felt something, that would instead not be good..."
"Ah... that is true, Manor Lord's words are logical..." Everyone nodded with realization, and the way they looked at Jun Mo Xie became more fervent... Previously, they'd only heard of this, and it'd sounded fine. But after witnessing the shocking scene before them, how could they remain unmoved?
"Old Cao, is your disciple married?" The Zhang Family's Patriarch asked as he placed his hand around Cao Guo Feng's shoulder in an extreme familiar manner. "This old man has a granddaughter... young and beautiful as a flower... their ages are very close together and could be said to be a match made in heaven!"
Since I don't have the fortune to get such a good disciple, it doesn't mean I can't use another method to be linked with him, right?!
Cao Guo Feng swept the hand off his shoulder and smiled blandly. "Please don't touch me, we're not that close with each other. I'm unworthy of this honor, unworthy of this honor, ah..."
Everyone here were all well experienced old things. How could they not understand Saint Emperor Cao's words? There were two meanings in "unworthy of this honor". One, was a humble rejection. But the other meaning was a lofty meaning of rejection! What kind of person is my disciple? Do you think your granddaughter is worthy of the honor?
Although the Zhang Family's Patriarch had been rejected, his actions had given the other Patriarchs an inspiration. If they could successfully form a marriage alliance with this Free and Natural Physique prodigy, their relationship might not be worse than a master-disciple relationship...
Thus, numerous old heads instantly surrounded Cao Guo Feng and the rest, and the area became as noisy as a wet market...
Only Bai Qi Feng was sitting at the side unbothered. All the other Patriarchs all knew that this guy was a brash fellow, and his words were often the most jarring to the ears. He was even extremely unreliable in his actions. Thus, nobody even bothered to discuss with him. It's not that they were worried he would reject them. That would not be surprising at all. But the main thing is that they were afraid that the words from this fellow's mouth would be too unbearable for them. If that happened, how awkward would they look? And the main thing was that they couldn't even retaliate...
Even Gu Yun Yang was hovering in front of Cao Guo Feng, sticking his old face out. He was mostly speaking about the friendships in their youth. From the looks of it, the two had been friends when they were young.
Saint Emperor Cao Guo Feng had experienced all kinds of things in his life, but he'd never encountered such an awkward situation before. Surrounded by so many people, his brows were filled with sweat, and he looked exceptionally worn out. If that was all, it was still fine. But he could clearly feel a pair of eyes boring into his back like a stern warning, causing his shirt to be drenched with sweat...
The sharp gaze naturally belonged to the Misty Illusory Manor's Manor Lord, Miao Jing Yun.
Old Cao clearly understood the meaning in that gaze. Old thing Cao, your disciple and my granddaughter's matter is still in a state of chaos, and my granddaughter has already gone so far for your disciple. If you still dare to set up anything more, this old man will roast you alive...
Just as everyone was talking fervently, a hoarse voice suddenly rang out, causing everyone to stop, not knowing if they should laugh or cry.
"What? Please stop joking around. With those rotten seedlings you have at home, you actually have the face to think about having a share of this daddy's precious disciple? Zhan Wu Yun, did you eat the wrong medicine? Or did you forget to eat your medicine? Or perhaps you bought fake medicine?! What nonsense are you spouting in broad daylight?!"
These words were spoken quite loudly, and the speaker was none other than Saint Emperor Bai Qi Feng!
Everyone turned over, only to see that Zhan Wu Yun's face was as red as a baboon's ass as he stared furiously at Bai Qi Feng.
It turned out that Zhan Wu Yun had been struggling internally for a long time as well. He felt that it wouldn't be a bad idea if he could use a marriage relation to rope this Free and Natural Physique prodigy with his rapid speed of advancement over to his side. At the same time, he could use this chance to dissolve the enmity between the two sides and even obtain the strength of seven Saint Emperors to aid the Zhan Family. This was a truly profitable deal.
After making his decision, he was just about to speak when he saw that the other six Saint Emperors had all been pulled away by the others... If he went over at this time, it would definitely not have much use. After all, the two sides were not very harmonious right now.
It also just happened that Bai Qi Feng spotted him standing there alone, so he walked over with big steps to look for him to settle scores. Seeing Bai Qi Feng walk towards him, Zhan Wu Yun also went up to him, taking the opportunity to express his intentions to select a good girl from his family to marry Great Prodigy Mo. That way, the two sides would both benefit, turning from enemies into friends...
One had to say that Zhan Wu Yun's idea was really not bad. With Zhan Wu Yun's prestige, this move could not be said to be taking advantage of Mo Jun Ye and the seven Saint Emperors. The two sides could be considered to be cooperating and working together mutually!
However, the problem lied in that he had chosen the wrong person to propose his intentions to. If Zhan Wu Yun had looked for Cao Guo Feng or the other five Saint Emperors to talk, they would at least discuss with him a little and not reject him outright. At most, they would use some soft words to reject him diplomatically. However, this great Zhan Family Patriarch actually went to talk to this extremely free Saint Emperor Bai Qi Feng!
Bai Qi Feng was already on the verge of exploding from a bellyful of anger. Not to mention the matter of a marriage, even if Zhan Wu Yun offered up the position of the Patriarch of the Zhan Family for Mo Jun Ye, he would very likely be booted back where he came from!
After being scolded so ruthlessly in public, Zhan Wu Yun's face was completely red, and he could not retreat. Before he could say anything else, Bai Qi Feng continued fiercely. "Why, do you only know how to be scared now that you saw that our disciple has boundless potential? You think that by selling away a girl, this matter can be resolved? How is there such a good thing in this world! Besides, who dares to marry the women of your Zhan Family? Which one of them is not not a tigress or a vicious shrew, going out every other day to flirt around and commit unspeakable sins... Just like that lad who recently married into your Zhan Family, wasn't he crushed to death by a massive green hat 1 in the end? With this kind of standard, you actually have the face to open your mouth?!"
Zhan Wu Yun could scarcely swallow the breath in his throat as he stared with wide eyes and pointed at Bai Qi Feng and spluttered, seemingly about to vomit out a mouthful of blood. "Bai Qi Feng! You... what nonsense are you spouting?!"
"I'm spouting nonsense? How am I spouting nonsense? Ask anyone here, which of them does not know of this matter? And you dare to say that this daddy is spouting nonsense? If this matter did not concern my disciple, this daddy would disdain even talking about the women of your Zhan Family to avoid dirtying my mouth..." Bai Qi Feng continued fearlessly.
All the other old men were somewhat unable to listen further.
But speaking of this matter, it was indeed a huge scandal of the Zhan Family. The person involved in the scandal was a maiden of the Zhan Family. After getting married last year, she was caught fooling around with a servant, angering her newly wed husband to the point where he hung himself right outside the woodshed where the adulterous pair was committing their illicit crimes...
But the adulterous pair was actually still in the midst of their passionate throes when they heard the commotion. Startled, the girl peered out of the door, only to see her newly wed husband hanging right in front of her, with his tongue sticking out scarily. With a piercing scream, the two fled from the woodshed naked...
And in that moment, they were even caught by the family's guards who happened to be patrolling the area...
After that... the results were easily imaginable!
Although the Zhan Family tried their best to cover the matter up, it still managed to spread out. As the saying went, good news never left the house, while bad news spreads for a thousand li . Very quickly, this matter became the subject of a massive joke in the Misty Illusory Manor. Some folks even came up with a nickname for Zhan Wu Yun, calling him the 'master of the family of adultery'... as the Patriarch of a noble aristocrat family, how would Zhan Wu Yun be able to endure such humiliation? Following that, there were many instances of him breaking out into large fights with others, and from then on, nobody mentioned this matter anymore. A joke was a joke, but if it involved the pride and prestige of a head of family, that was a big problem.
Not long after, Zhan Wu Yun even executed the pair of adulterous couple, finally ending the matter.
But who would have thought that at this time, his old scar would be dug up by Bai Qi Feng once again?! So how could Zhan Wu Yun not get angry?
Zhan Wu Yun was boiling with anger and was about to erupt at anytime. But before his wrath could be vented, Bai Qi Feng continued again in a light and casual tone. "If a marriage alliance was erected between us, and your Zhan Family's woman starts fooling around after marrying in... finding an abandoned woodshed to do some unspeakable things... we can't afford such things here... Besides, your Zhan Family may be able to afford the loss, but us brothers cannot afford to do so on our side..."
