Jun Xi Zhu's complexion sank. She then asked in a dignified manner, "Which old bastard came down?"
Duke Yu's expression was very strange. It seemed as if he was somewhat confused and perplexed. He didn't answer the question. Instead, he asked in a serious manner, "Xi Zhu, do you think … that there is such a kind of sworn brother in this world?"
Jun Xi Zhu was startled. She thought for a while and said, "I can't say that there isn't such a thing. But, I haven't seen it in reality. "
Duke Yu nodded. He then said in a silent manner, "But, I've seen it."
He sighed, "So, there really is such a thing!"
Human nature was the most despicable thing. Duke Yu had never believed in feelings. Especially when he encountered a so-called sworn brother in life and death situations. He would beat them until they were at the end of their rope. Then, he would put forward a condition — Only one of them could survive.
Duke Yu would coldly observe the ugly human nature of these two people whenever he saw them killing each other. And, he would toy with the so-called friendship to his heart's content. He would mercilessly whip and ridicule their so-called friendship. Then, he would finally kill them …
He had done such a thing more than once. No one had ever had the courage to exchange their own life for the life of their sworn brother in front of Duke Yu.
That was because they believed that a person like Duke Yu would never sympathize with them. In fact, he wouldn't cherish heroes and honor heroes.
However, Chu Yang had used his own flesh and blood to block a blade for Dong Wu Shang just a day ago! Dong Wu Shang had also sacrificed his own life for Chu Yang!
Could it be that Dong Wu Shang didn't know that I could crush him to death with just one finger? He must've known! But … why?
This matter had subverted Duke Yu's thoughts — 'Human nature is despicable. Everyone in the world can be killed!'
Jun Xi Zhu didn't answer. She merely snorted and said, "Who hurt you?"
"Don't ask about this matter." Duke Yu insipidly said, "It's not as serious as you think."
Jun Xi Zhu nodded and said, "It's fine as long as you know." She knew that no one would be able to ask Duke Yu anything as long as he didn't want to say it. Asking him would be in vain.
While they were talking, Jun Lu Lu and Mo Qingwu also walked in.
Mo Qingwu had changed into a red dress, looking smart and adorable. Her delicate body, which had just begun to grow, was like a slender and elegant orchid that was about to bloom into a flower bud. Her small face was bright, and her fine black hair flowed down her head smoothly. A delicate butterfly made of Red Cloud Steel spread its wings above her head, ready to take flight.
Her eyes were black and white, and her long eyelashes were like a dream. Her expression was innocent with a hint of intelligence, and her pointed chin had a hint of stubbornness …
"Where is Big Brother Chu Yang? Is he in this mountain? " Mo Qingwu impatiently pouted and asked. She looked at Jun Lu Lu with pleading eyes. She had a delicate and pitiful look on her face.
"Chu Yang?" Duke Yu subconsciously said, "I just fought with him …"
"Ah?" Mo Qing Wu's small mouth opened slightly. She immediately became anxious, "Is he injured?"
Duke Yu's spirit was shaken. He rolled his eyes and said, "What does it matter if he's injured or not? Can't I just beat him up? "
"No!" Mo Qingwu glared at him. She pouted and looked at Duke Yu fiercely, "Why did you beat my Big Brother Chu Yang?"
"Uh …?" Duke Yu scratched his head and looked at Jun Lu Lu, "Where did this little girl come from? Did you bring this little girl to teach me a lesson? "
Jun Lu Lu couldn't help but chuckle and said, "She's King of Hell Chu's darling. You can say that you beat King of Hell Chu in front of anyone but her."
"Did you really beat him up?" Mo Qingwu glared at Duke Yu. Her eyes had turned somewhat red, "Did you beat him up in pain?"
Duke Yu immediately raised his hands in surrender when he saw Mo Qingwu's clear eyes, "I didn't beat him up. Instead, he beat me up! You look at me, you look at me. I'm so pitiful … "
Duke Yu stretched out his arm to let this little girl see the injury on his arm. He wanted to gain some sympathy.
He knew that Jun Xi Zhu wasn't an outsider since she had brought her here. So, he treated her as if she was a child.
Mo Qingwu heaved a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her shoulders. She said, "You obviously can't beat him up. But …" She rolled her eyes and said, "I can't do anything if he beats you up …"
She jumped to Jun Lu Lu's side as she said this. Then, she hugged her arm and gently shook it. She said, "Elder Sister Ah Lu, lend me your mirror …"
Duke Yu's forehead was filled with black lines.
[I can't beat him up, but he should beat me up? Is there such a theory in this world …]
At this moment, a report came in from outside, "Minister Jun, Minister Yu, representatives of major clans have come to pay a visit."
Jun Xi Zhu thought for a while and said, "Little Yu, you go and receive them. Just say a few words and let them go. "
Duke Yu nodded and rushed out as if he was escaping. He was somewhat scared of this little girl who had suddenly arrived. [So, there's someone in this world who can be more unreasonable than me. Moreover, it's a little girl …]
The representatives of major clans left after a short while. Duke Yu didn't return. It was unknown where he had run off to.
"Is Minister Jun here? Mo Tian Yun and Mo Tian Ji of the Mo Clan have come to pay a visit! "Mo Tian Ji's voice resounded from outside.
Mo Qing Wu's entire body trembled. Her complexion turned deathly pale.
[Second Brother, do you really want to redeem me and let me marry that scoundrel?]
Mo Qing Wu had misunderstood again. Mo Tian Ji had come to redeem Mo Qing Wu this time. But, it wasn't to give her to Meng Luo.
Mo Tian Ji had made a big fuss with his clan after he had come to know about Mo Qing Wu's matter. Then, he had proposed to take his little sister to his place so that he could take care of her. But, he had been reprimanded by Great Elder Mo Wu Xin. So, he had come here with the determination to take Mo Qing Wu away …
Jun Xi Zhu looked at Mo Qing Wu with pity and said, "You two, go and sit behind the screen first." Jun Lu Lu complied, and walked over with Mo Qing Wu.
The two of them had just sat down when they heard Jun Xi Zhu's deep voice from outside, "Let them roll in!"
The sound of footsteps was heard after a short while. Then, two people said in unison, "Greetings, Minister Jun."
Jun Xi Zhu was sitting on an armchair. She snorted and said, "Have you brought the silver?"
Mo Tian Ji asked in a deep voice, "Is my little sister safe?"
Jun Xi Zhu coldly said, "Don't you trust the credibility of Dark Bamboo?"
Mo Tian Ji gently said, "Dark Bamboo's name shakes the world. So, I naturally trust it. But, this kidnapping is too outrageous. May I ask Minister Jun what's the cause of this matter? "
Jun Xi Zhu coldly said, "Mo Tian Ji, I want the silver. I don't want your nonsense! Take out the silver if you have it. And, get lost if you don't! Don't show off your eloquence in front of me! "
Mo Tian Ji was silent for a moment. Then, he said, "The banknotes are here since that's the case." Mo Tian Yun had given him the banknotes. So, he took them out.
Mo Tian Yun became even more jealous in his heart. He had always been conceited that he was on par with Mo Tian Ji. In fact, he was even better than him. However, Mo Tian Ji was speaking frankly and with assurance in front of Jun Xi Zhu today. In fact, he could even question her. But, he was intimidated by Jun Xi Zhu's fame and power. So, he couldn't speak. He was afraid that his voice would tremble if he spoke …
However, he didn't know that Mo Tian Ji's heart was beating like a drum in the face of Jun Xi Zhu's deliberate coercion. But, he was worried about his little sister. Moreover, he was filled with indignation. So, he remained calm and collected.
"Golden Hand!" Jun Xi Zhu coldly shouted.
"Your subordinate is here!" A person appeared in the tent with a 'shua' sound.
"Hua Cuo, come and check the banknotes." Jun Xi Zhu insipidly said, "See if there's any mistake."
Mo Tian Ji wrinkled his brows. [Jun Xi Zhu wants to play tricks? Are you kidding me? Who in the world would dare to give you fake banknotes? Would I make a mistake in front of you? I don't want to court death …]
Golden Hand Hua Cuo was a thin middle-aged man. His hands were dry and steady. He took the banknotes worth ten million taels. Then, he wiped his saliva with his finger. Then, he started to count them one by one in front of Mo Tian Ji.
Mo Tian Ji stared at him attentively as he counted the banknotes. His heart suddenly jumped.
"… This isn't right. Minister Jun. "Golden Hand Hua Cuo said in a puzzled manner," Ten million taels of banknotes? This is clearly twenty million taels of banknotes with forty sheets of white paper. This … this is too much. Who did this …? "
"Forty sheets of white paper?" Jun Xi Zhu's complexion sank, "Is that so?"
"Wait a minute!" Mo Tian Ji shouted. He had already counted the banknotes before he came here. Ten million taels of banknotes wasn't a small amount. How could they turn into white paper here? [That guy must have done something. But … his movements are so slow. How did he do it? I didn't even see it!]
"Can I take a look?" Mo Tian Ji asked.
Golden Hand Hua Cuo didn't seem to understand. He nodded foolishly and said, "Okay."
Then, he handed the banknotes back.
Mo Tian Ji took them, and his heart sank. [It feels different.] He turned them over a little, and saw that they were all white paper … He couldn't help but feel dizzy.
"What's going on?" Jun Xi Zhu frowned and asked.
Mo Tian Yun angrily said, "What's the meaning of this? Minister Jun, even a thief has a code of conduct. Blackmail shouldn't be done like this! "He couldn't stay calm. After all, he was a pauper at the moment. He didn't have any money. He wouldn't be able to get even a single cent if the bet wasn't over … He would lose face if Jun Xi Zhu blackmailed him …
Jun Xi Zhu's phoenix-like eyes turned cold. She narrowed her eyes and coldly said, "Blackmail you … So what?!"
Mo Tian Ji looked on with cold eyes. He saw that Jun Xi Zhu's limpid eyes had begun to emit a murderous aura. He couldn't help but shiver in his heart. He knew that the opposite party had blackmailed him for forty million taels. So, he hastily said, "It must be Little Brother's negligence. He-he, I remember that I had some white papers in my bosom. I must have mixed them. Please forgive me, Minister Jun. I will make up for it. "
Jun Xi Zhu meaningfully looked at Mo Tian Ji. Then, she faintly smiled, "Is that so?" She couldn't help but say in her heart, [This Mo Tian Ji is worthy of the title 'Master of Calculation and Manipulation'. He has seen through my intention to deal with them. I don't really want the forty million taels of banknotes …]
However, she saw Mo Tian Ji take out the banknotes. He then said with a smile, "I will give you the banknotes one by one this time. Don't count them wrong."
Jun Xi Zhu smiled and said, "Alright, take them."
Mo Tian Yun finally felt relieved. He said, "I'll have to trouble Minister Jun. Please ask my little sister to come out. Minister Jun is very busy. We won't disturb you any longer. We will take my little sister back. Thank you very much for taking care of her during this time. "
Mo Tian Ji had paid the banknotes. So, Mo Tian Yun naturally had to come out and play the good guy.
Jun Xi Zhu frowned and said, "What? Mo Tian Yun, are you sure? When did I say that you can take her away after paying the banknotes? "
