Chapter 970: Who is Getting Exactly What He Wants

“Brother Mo had said earlier, that Chess Saint had presented him with the first line of a couplet during their match. Today, since we do not have any better topics, why don’t we borrow this line and compete with Brother Mo. If Brother Mo is able to come up with a matching line on the spot, this round shall be our loss! Wouldn’t that be clean and nimble?” Zhan Yu Shu said.

“Yu Shu, this idea of yours is too marvelous.” Zhan Qing Feng nodded his head gently. “Let’s do it this way.”

These two brothers echoed each other. Even though no one helped respond to them, in their own little act, they had decided on the third topic!

Miao Xiao Miao, Jun Mo Xie, and all the audience present felt their jaws hanging. This is too despicable, isn’t it?!

To be so shameless like this, this was no longer a realm—it was a complete domain!

Everyone said that he did not manage to match it, and this first line had come from the person himself, but right now, you two are actually using it to make things difficult for him?? This is too crafty, ah!

“How can this be accepted!” Miao Xiao Miao’s face turned red from anger. “This first line had come from Brother Mo. If he uses this to test you, then it is still acceptable. But today, you guys use it to compete with him instead… Zhan Yu Shu, do you still know how to write the word ‘shameless’?”

“Little Sister Xiao Miao is too harsh in your words. This is the question that the Chess Saint had given Brother Mo. We are only trying to accomplish his wishes and hope that Brother Mo is able to match it soon. Using it as test is merely giving Brother Mo a greater motivation, and I believe Brother Mo is able to understand the good intentions of us brothers…” Zhan Qing Feng said with a smile.

“Haha… In this way, aren’t you guys doing a good deed? Should Chess Saint Hua Wu Cuo or Brother Mo be grateful to both of you? This is preposterous!” Miao Xiao Miao scoffed from anger.

“That would be unnecessary. We do not care if he is grateful or not. As long as Brother Mo is able to come up with the next line, the Chess Saint will have his wishes fulfilled. Even if we were to lose another round, there is nothing wrong about it…” Zhan Yu Shu chuckled, replying shamelessly.

“I’ve really broadened my horizons seeing someone who is capable of being as shameless as you two! Truly, the more despicable a person, the more invincible he is!” Miao Xiao Miao said disdainfully. “The mighty reputation of the Zhan Family of the Misty Illusory Manor is going to spread far and wide in the whole of Misty Illusory Manor. Truly worthy of celebration.”

Just when Zhan Yu Shu brought up this method of competition, Jun Mo Xie practically burst out laughing. F*ck, you guys are so gullible! I said I didn’t manage to come up with a line that matches and you really believed it?

This first line of the couplet doesn’t look fake upon first glance. But the five thousand years of Chinese history has countless of talents. Even this couplet, with the first line, it doesn’t take long for the second line to be created! There is no need to rush; as long as the crux is figured out, it is not difficult to match it! You two idiots! Two idiots who thought you got what you want!

“The shamelessness of you two honorable brothers can really be said to have reached an exquisite realm.” Jun Mo Xie clicked his tongue. “To use the past I’ve mentioned to test this prodigy… Both of your quick-wittedness is truly impressive, ah, this prodigy cannot help but want to write a word of ‘convinced’ ah. I’m truly convinced and full of admiration.”

Zhan Yu Shu’s face flushed red. He said in a rude and unreasonable manner. “The third round: we just want to compete matching the couplet! If you are able to match the first line of the couplet we had given, then it’s your victory. Otherwise, you lose! It’s just that simple! Listen up, the first line we are giving you is: Heaven as the chessboard, stars as chess pieces. Who is able to play it? Great prodigy Mo, please come up with a matching line!”

“Nonsense! I had already said earlier, when Hua Wu Cuo presented this line, I was not able to come up with a second line that matches! Today, you just purposely used this to make things difficult. What are your intentions? Besides, since when did the ownership of this first line become yours? I say, can the Zhan Family still get anymore shameless? Do you still have any dignity of an influential family?!”

Jun Mo Xie chided, pretending to be furious.

“Why, is great prodigy Mo scared?” Looking at this Free and Natural Physique suddenly losing his calm appearance, Zhan Yu Shu couldn’t help but laugh at his misery. Thank goodness you gave me a good topic; how can you quickly come up with a good match to this excellent and absolute line? Especially when he admits himself that he is unable to come up with a second line. It is truly the best method to making things difficult ah…

Otherwise, I really don’t know of anyone else who can baffle you… This time, it is you who lifted up the rock to slam it on your own feet, shattering it completely, this sort of feeling is truly too exhilarating…

“I refuse to accept this method of competition!” Jun Mo Xie said, as if he were extremely upset. “You are just making trouble without reason!”

“Then does this mean… great prodigy Mo is ready to admit defeat?” Zhan Qing Feng asked eerily.

“Ridiculous! How can I admit defeat? How can I lose?!” Jun Mo Xie put on an expression as if he were pretending to be strong to hide his weakness. “I just need time to think.”

“Then you can slowly think; as long as you come up with it today! We are in no rush. Otherwise, some people might say that we are being bullies! You have plenty of time!” Zhan Yu Shu was extremely pleased. You have already thought of this couplet for several years without managing to match it; how could you do it in half a day?

Both parties remained silent. But Jun Mo Xie suddenly piped up again: “Unfortunately, I still find it too unfair! You guys used my topic to make things difficult for me… This is such a ridiculous thing!” Jun Mo Xie frowned. “Besides, there is no benefit, so who is going to bet with you ah! This is a bonus!”

“May I asked what Great Prodigy Mo desires then?” Zhan Yu Shu chuckled coldly. “You can come up with any requests, as long as you are able to come up with the second line of the couplet! There is no problem at all!”

Isn’t he just trying to put on a strong front? Clearly he is feeling hopeless about coming up with the second line of the couplet and is refusing to acknowledge that he lost shamelessly. But speaking of acting shamelessly, we are the experts of it, so you have no chance of slipping out of this one. We will counter whatever you say. Since you will definitely not be able to come up with the line, what harm is there in promising as many requests as you raise!

“Can I really make the requests? Then that’s great! Actually, my requests are also very simple,and I believe both of you brothers are capable of easily accomplishing it. I just want to know how you guys controlled Lin Qing Yin, to be able to make such a noble and virtuous elegant scholar compete in your steed. And Qi Wan Jie; what benefits did you give him? If I am able to come up with the next line, I want you to spill all of it over here, in front of everyone. And you must not hide a single bit of the truth. Of course, you must make a blood oath that swears the authenticity of your words. There is no need to trouble thinking about the conditions of the oath; we’ll just go with the ones we made earlier.”

Jun Mo Xie chuckled, really giving the two Zhan Brothers a ‘simple’ request that they were destined to be unable to accept.

Jun Mo Xie did not intend to bother them about this matter!

His goal for this trip was only for the Seven Color Holy Tree. No matter how ambitious the Zhan Family was, it had nothing to do with him! No matter how big the Zhan Family was, they would not be able to infiltrate Tian Fa Forest! Although the Zhan Family was practically able to hide the truth from the masses in the Misty Illusory Manor, in Jun Mo Xie’s eyes, it was insignificant!

The internal disorder of the Misty Illusory Manor had nothing to do with him! In fact, it was better that the Misty Illusory Manor was in a mess. The messier it gets, the less time you have to come and interfere with the matters in the Xuan Xuan Continent!

It’s okay if all of you die too…

But with every single step he took to this point, the Zhan Family’s constant shameless and overbearing ways had really pissed Jun Mo Xie off! And he just couldn’t directly reveal his true strength. Even if he could, with the current acts of the brothers of the Zhan Family, it was merely acts of their own accord and may not necessarily be tied to the entire Zhan Family. It was still not to the point of him being so furious as to drench the entire place in blood…

Secondly, he needed to empathize with Miao Xiao Miao. Since their encounter, this woman who wore a veil had been helping him the whole time, constantly having his back. If not for her presence today, even this so-called fairness and justice today would have been nonexistent!

Miao Xiao Miao, a girl who was neither a relative nor friend, in such a temporary exchange, was willing to sacrifice her face in public to do all this for him. How could Jun Mo Xie not be moved?

Right now, the Miao Family was in charge of the Misty Illusory Manor. If the Zhan Family had any ambitious plans, their first target would be the Miao Family. Only by overthrowing the Miao Family, could the Zhan Family can step up!

Jun Mo Xie only felt that he had accepted all of Miao Xiao Miao’s help. If he still pretended to be nonchalant about the Zhan Family’s schemes, he couldn’t accept it. It really went against his beliefs of acting on his own whim with a clear conscience.

There was no suitable excuse, yet this Zhan Yu Shu just happened to offer him the chance to make any request. So naturally, he had to make good use of this opportunity. This was also one of the main reasons why Young Master Jun was pretending and acting like a fool.

In fact, Young Master Jun did not really have high hopes that the Zhan Brothers would explicitly admit to all their dirty deeds. What Jun Mo Xie wanted was their ‘agreement’ only. As long as he won this round, the outcome would not change whether the Zhan Brothers spilled all their secret, underhanded methods.

Because as long as it was combined with the matter today, with Miao Xiao Miao bringing it back and mentioning it, it would definitely raise the utmost attention on the Zhan Family by the higher ups of the Miao Family! When that happened, it would be difficult for the Zhan Family to continue advancing with their schemes and plans as silently and sneakily as before…

And they were all a bunch of old and highly regarded old man. Which one of them had lived in vain, and which one of them would be easy to deal with? Every single one of those old men had grown and developed amidst schemes and conspiracies…

So Jun Mo Xie brought up this request that seemed to have nothing to do with himself, but had great importance between the Zhan Family and the Miao Family!

Zhan Qing Feng and Zhan Yu Shu both froze. Why did he ask for this? What did he discover? Or is he intentionally making things difficult to avoid this topic?

What significance is there in making such a request? Even if you manage to come up with a second line that matches by fluke, as long as we both deny that we did not threaten or bribe those two people, what can you do about me?! Or rather, is there anything odd hidden within? Right now, the only fatal point is the blood oath! Are we really supposed to swear it again?!
