Chapter 960: Ominous Promise

“I have always treated you as my little sister, but now you are framing me? Just because of a bet that had never begun, you are questioning my integrity?” Zhan Qing Feng sounded down.

“Young Master Zhan… I’m no longer a little girl.” Miao Xiao Miao was emotionless. “And you are no longer the brother Zhan I knew anymore. How can I continue believing you, especially after what happened and after I witnessed how your conspiracy played out?

“Fine! Very well…” Zhan Qing Feng sighed and stopped speaking.

“Ms. Miao, don’t be so tense. Although I don’t claim that I know everything, I have experience and knowledge in a whole range of things… I think my three years of education are sufficient to deal with them. They have three requests; later, I will have some for them as well! Do you want one?” Everyone present burst into laughter after Jun Mo Xie said this.

The crowd had never seen someone so boastful and arrogant as him… He’s even more mad than Jun Mo Xie and the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master…

“Then why not share with us what you ask from us with everyone here? Perhaps you really will win…” The corner of Zhan Yu Shu’s mouth twitched as he tried to suppress his urge to laugh.

“If I’m not wrong, you’re not going to recognize the bet you had with Ms. Miao, right? My request is very similar to hers.” Jun Mo Xie made it very straightforward. “My first request is that I want to be granted access to the Spiritual Herbal Gardens. Also, your family must make sure I really get in there!

“By the way, I am sure you don’t believe me, just like how much I doubt you. So let’s put all the requests down in black and white! Also, I want the two of you to make a promise in the name of your family. If you don’t keep your promise, you will disgrace your ancestors and your children! You must send me into the Spiritual Herbal Gardens no matter what it takes! Ah, but you’re not allowed to defame Ms. Miao… because I’m accompanying her to the Gardens this time!

“Also, I want all of you here to produce a note of witness, so that both sides cannot break their promises!” Jun Mo Xie finished with a sly smile. It was his first request and he had already asked for such an ominous promise! People with Xuan cultivation of this level knew very well whether these vows about the honor the ancestors and children really worked. No one would dare to break the promise!

Zhan Qing Feng and Zhan Yu Shu looked at each other. They could see the concern and the wrath in each other’s eyes!

“It’s just to protect the rights of both sides. Why are you hesitant?” Jun Mo Xie looked at the two disdainfully out of the corner of his eye. “The two of you started this first. You made sure I had no way to retreat. But now when I request something from you, you are so hesitant. Where’s the fair and just?”

“The request is reasonable, but the promise you want me to take is too far-fetched.” Zhan Qing Feng was frowning. “Also, why do you want to go into the Spiritual Herbal Garden?”

“Ah, I’m just bored and can’t think of a better request. I heard it’s a nice place. Why? Is this also forbidden? Or your family can’t fulfill my request?” Jun Mo Xie smirked. “As for the promise, if you had shown some integrity, you would not need it. But just look at what you have done! You don’t even keep your promise to a girl like Ms. Miao… you’re not credible to me.”

The brothers snorted in annoyance! However, they couldn’t do anything about Mo Jun Ye’s doubt. The request Zhan Yu Shu produced just now was only to the Zhan Family’s interest. They had disregarded the other families. So the youngsters from the other families were now just waiting to have a good laugh at their awkward situation. All of them were curious whether the Zhan brothers would dare to promise access to the Gardens. The situation now was really playing out like a good show with thrilling plots for them. Their main intention when they accepted the Zhan brothers’ invitation was to watch a good show in the first place. So they loved it!

Although Mo Jun Ye was the weaker side now, he had limitless potential. None of them wanted to offend him. As for the Zhan Family, they obviously couldn’t make such a powerful family dissatisfied with them. Hence, all of them looked like they were angered by what Mo Jun Ye had said, but remained silent all along so that they would not accidentally offend Mo Jun Ye… They knew that as long as they remained neutral, nothing would go wrong for their family.

As for the Zhan brothers, things had gotten out of their control. Even the Master of the Misty Illusory Manor could not offer access into the Gardens with free will!

Although they had a high status in their family and they definitely could influence many things, this was one of those things they could not promise by themselves. In order to help Mo Jun Ye, their family would have to mobilize all of their men and forces, and even then, it would not be a guarantee. Furthermore, it would expose all the capabilities of the family, putting the family in a dangerous situation in which they would become completely transparent to their foes. Also, by helping Mo Jun Ye, they wouldn’t even receive anything from him in return because it was a bet in the first place.

On the other hand, they couldn’t go back on their own words, especially when they made such vows in front of so many witnesses. On top of that, Mo Jun Ye still had the support of Cao Guo Feng and the other six Saint Emperors who they couldn’t easily deal with.

The brothers couldn’t help curse at Mo Jun Ye in their heads. They were in a very favorable situation just moments ago, and now they were stuck. They used the same technique to disgust Mo Jun Ye just now, but how could they expect him to return the favor so quickly!

The Zhan Family’s goals were obvious. On the other side, Mo Jun Ye didn’t really care about entering the Gardens, but he wanted to take away the Zhan Family’s chance at it. It very successfully made the Zhan brothers uncomfortable.

As Mo Jun Ye asked them again and again, they felt more and more pressurized. Refusing to accept the request was also not a way out! It would waste all the efforts the Zhan Family had put in for the contest today! Furthermore, they had already offended Mo Jun Ye and everyone who supported him. They had already offended the strongest expert of the Illusory Manor’s future!

What a dilemma!

“Mo Jun Ye, the promise you want us to make is too ominous. How can we make such promises without careful consideration! Also, your request is too difficult to achieve. Everything in the world is unpredictable; how can I guarantee something like this! Mo Jun Ye, you’re being too demanding. We really can’t easily accept your request!” Zhan Qing Feng said.
