< Today's first update! >
Dugu Xiaoyi's tone was like that of a little girl who had her sweets stolen, or like a child who had been staring at the fruits on the tree for half a year, waiting for the fruits to ripen. But when the fruits were about to ripen, two people came out of nowhere, looked at the fruits on the tree, and talked about how to divide them, but ignored her.
She actually ignored me!
She was driven mad, and felt wronged to the point of being indescribable …
Jun Wuyi and the other two opened their eyes wide at the same time, and then burst out laughing almost at the same time. This girl's actions and expressions are too adorable. Jun Wuyi's heavy heart, and Guan Qing Han's embarrassment and shyness, were driven away without a trace by this one action of hers.
Dugu Xiaoyi realized what she had done when she saw the three of them staring at her. She couldn't help but pout, and angrily said, "It's mine!"
She realized that she had lost her composure after she had finished speaking. She didn't have a clear engagement with Jun Moxie, so she didn't have any position to make irresponsible remarks. Moreover, the Third Master Jun's request was tantamount to his dying wish. So, she shouldn't have caused such a disturbance. Not to mention, she was still acting as a notary at the moment, so she shouldn't have caused such a disturbance.
Besides, how could these words be said by an unmarried young lady like her? Not to mention that she was the only daughter of the Dugu family.
The little girl couldn't help but blush, and quickly let go of Jun Moxie's hand. She bit her lips, and stood there for a while in embarrassment, not knowing what to say to remedy the situation.
The little girl didn't know what to say. Jun Wuyi, Guan Qing Han, and Jun Dashao also didn't know how to smooth things over. The three of them had been shocked by Dugu Xiaoyi's bold action, and hadn't recovered yet.
The four of them stared at each other in a stalemate for a moment. Suddenly, the little lass let out a squeal, covered her burning hot face, turned around, and rushed out as if there was a dog chasing after her. They only heard a loud bang and didn't know what she had hit.
"Mo Xie … Haha, your charm is not small. You haven't done anything yet, but you've already caused the Dugu family's precious daughter to fight for your affections."
Jun Wuyi laughed heartily. Guan Qing Han's case hadn't been finalized yet. But, how could he not understand that Dugu Xiaoyi was deeply in love with his nephew after witnessing this scene? So, she was completely at ease about his nephew's marriage. Moreover, the little girl's family background was of equal status. Moreover, the Emperor would have to weigh the pros and cons if the Jun Family and the Dugu family were to unite by marriage. So, even if the Emperor wanted to target the Jun Family, he would still have to weigh the pros and cons. And, his nephew's good deed would come to an end. So, he would be able to smile in the underworld even if he were to die tomorrow. His only regret was that he wouldn't be able to drink his nephew's wedding wine!
Jun Dashao was also in an extremely awkward situation. He opened his mouth several times, but couldn't say a single word. He didn't know when he had become this little girl's personal property. So, he spread out his hands, and shrugged his shoulders. His face seemed to be laughing and crying at the same time. He struggled to speak after a long while, "It's not my fault that I'm too handsome … Is this a crime? … "
Guan Qing Han's face turned cold as she snorted. But, she didn't say anything. Then, her face turned red again after a long while. And, it became as bright as the rosy clouds of the morning.
Jun Wuyi smiled in a pleased manner. But, he felt that what he had said a moment ago wasn't befitting of his status as an elder. Moreover, this matter had involved his recently adopted daughter. So, he smiled bitterly in embarrassment. Then, he waved his hand and said, "You can withdraw. I want some time to think about tomorrow's battle."
Jun Moxie and Guan Qing Han looked at each other. Then, they withdrew at the same time. Jun Moxie wanted to say a few words to Guan Qing Han. But, the moment he got out of the tent, Guan Qing Han disappeared with a swoosh. Her expression was one of panic, fear, and shyness.
Jun Dashao heaved a long sigh. He faced the clear sky and the bright moon. Then, he put on a self-admiring and infuriating posture. Then, he murmured coquettishly, [I'm a man who can cause the downfall of a nation. My body is as pure as ice and as pure as jade. Beautiful women blush when they see me. Beautiful women elope when they see me … Then, he swayed as he walked back to his tent in a self-indulgent manner.]
Inside the tent.
Jun Wuyi flicked his sleeves. All the lights in the tent were extinguished. It was pitch-black in an instant. After a while, the gentle moonlight shone into the tent. The candles that had just been extinguished were still emitting faint green smoke. The smoke rose and dissipated.
Jun Wuyi's green-robed figure was hidden in the darkness. He didn't move anymore …
Outside the tent, the three Dongfang brothers stood motionless with their hands on their swords. They didn't make a single sound. In fact, they were quietly accompanying their old brother.
Tonight might be the last night of Jun Wuyi's Third Brother's life in this world. Brothers of flesh and blood were separated by the netherworld. But, a hero shouldn't be lonely even if he's at the end of his road!]
[We'll accompany you!]
Guan Qing Han stood not too far from Jun Wuyi's tent. Tears silently flowed down her pretty face. But, she didn't move. She didn't dare to make a single sound.
[Third Uncle, Godfather … you won't be lonely tonight!]
[Let your daughter accompany Godfather for the first night … Perhaps, it'll be his last night …]
The surroundings were quiet. Countless burly men from the Tian Xiang military camp were fully armed. They looked like tall and straight wooden stakes as they stood outside the tents in a neat formation. The fervent eyes of the men were filled with sincere emotions. They did not move at all, and even deliberately suppressed their breathing to the lowest possible level.
[We'll be throwing away our lives if we go to war.] [But, the Marshal has chosen to sacrifice himself!]
[Tomorrow, the Marshal will go to war!]
[Tonight, let us accompany you!]
[Marshal, you shouldn't be lonely!] [A hero shouldn't be lonely!]
[The Blood General was the idol of the army. This illustrious name would eventually be engraved in the hearts of Tian Xiang's soldiers, just like his elder brother, the White General Jun Wu Hui! He would become a monument!
He would become a …
The legend of blood!
The moonlight slowly rose into the sky. The clear blue sky shone brightly, and illuminated the mountains and rivers of the Southern Heaven City. However, he had no idea how many men's blood would be spilled on this vast land that had once been bathed in the gentle light of the war tomorrow.
A faint silhouette rushed out of the tent. It seemed as if it had melted into the air, and disappeared into nothingness. Only the three Dongfang Swords — whose cultivation had already reached the Spirit Xuan realm — felt as if something had moved above their heads. However, they looked at each other in astonishment, and didn't discover anything …
Jun Wuyi had vaguely sensed something in the tent. But, he didn't care. In fact, he didn't care.
It wouldn't be a big deal even if a top-notch assassin were to assassinate him. After all, he was going to step on the road to the Yellow Springs tomorrow. So, what harm was there in dying a little earlier?
Therefore, he really didn't care about anything.
As for the others, they didn't even seem to be aware of this trace.
Jun Moxie had finally dealt with the last candidate — Baili Luo Yun. So, he came back with a small bottle in his hand. [I hope that this small bottle is useful. If it's useless, then I'll have to personally go to the battlefield and turn the tide.]
However, if those fellows who hoped for Third Uncle's death were to see Third Uncle return safe and sound, wouldn't that be a wonderful and pleasant surprise?
The bright moon was setting in the west, and Dongfang was gradually getting brighter.
[Dawn always comes after darkness!]
In the tent, Jun Wuyi slowly stood up. He took two steps, and then hesitated for a moment. But, he eventually decided to sit in his wheelchair. His legs had long since healed, and even his martial arts that had been neglected for ten years had been restored. But if he were to reveal it now, it would be hard to say whether the Emperor, who was bent on finding trouble with the aristocratic families, would accuse the Jun Family of deceiving the Emperor. If that were to happen, then even if he knew in the underworld, he would not be able to rest in peace.
His legs wouldn't change even if he were to face the siege of countless high-level Xuan Beasts. [I'm going to die anyway. So, why should I add a groundless accusation to my family?]
Jun Wuyi slowly turned his wheelchair. Then, he waved his right hand, and the sword on the wall flew into his hand. Then, he quietly opened the door. He had just stepped out of the tent when he was startled by what he saw.
The Third Master Jun had always been calm and collected. But, he had still been startled. What kind of terrifying scene was this?
Dongfang's three swords were standing outside the door. They saw him come out. Dongfang Wenqing smiled faintly. Then, she quickly walked behind Jun Wuyi, and pushed his wheelchair. There was a sea of people on both sides of the tent. More than twenty thousand soldiers were lined up neatly. They looked at him without saying a word. Everyone's eyes were somewhat red.
Jun Wuyi's eyes were also somewhat red. He took a deep breath and said, "What are you all doing here? Everyone should disperse. It's not like we're going to be separated by life and death. Is there a need to be like this?"
No one moved. [How is it not a separation by life and death? Everyone knows what's going on.]
Jun Wuyi remained silent for a while. He looked at the familiar faces around him with a complicated look in his eyes. A long time passed. Then, his eyes gradually became firm. He gently raised his right hand, and shouted, "Today's combatants, step forward!"
Three hundred soldiers neatly stepped forward as soon as the order was issued. A few of them hesitated for a moment. But, they still stood in line without any hesitation. They formed a phalanx behind Jun Wuyi.
Dongfang Wen Qing pushed his wheelchair and slowly walked out. Three hundred people followed behind him, and it looked like he was about to leave. Suddenly, a shout was heard. "Wait!"
It was Jun Moxie. His face was solemn. He waved his hand and said, "How can we not have wine to send off the heroes of Tian Xiang?! Bring out the wine. Only the best wine is worthy of our Tian Xiang's warriors! Mo Xie wishes that all of you will return triumphantly! "
Behind him, some people immediately rushed out with wine jars. Others carried large bowls and filled them to the brim.
There was a faint apologetic look in Jun Moxie's eyes. Perhaps he had some conflicts with these people in the past. But, they stood up resolutely today. Even though they knew that they were going to die, they still walked forward proudly. Not a single one of them retreated!
Just this point alone was enough to earn Jun Moxie's respect.
It didn't matter if they were good or bad in the past. To be able to face death without batting an eyelid was a hero! A real man!
There's no such thing as good or bad among heroes!
But, I'm sorry. I could've saved you. Saving you would've been as easy as lifting a finger. But, I can't! People can't die in a war. And, this is even more true in a war that's certain to be lost!
For the sake of the Third Uncle and the Jun Family, I can't save you!
