Chapter Sixteen: Li You Ran

  "Three Young Masters are indeed refreshing!" Meng Haizhou raised his thumb and praised: "It's no wonder that the Three Young Masters of your family are truly bold and unrestrained, just like the style of your father in his younger years!" This remark seemed to be a compliment but was actually a veiled criticism, full of sarcastic meaning. However, if it were the original Jun Moxie, he might not have even noticed!

  As he spoke, Meng Haizhou glanced at Tang Yuan with a slanted eye: "Just now we were just playing a small game of dice with Young Master Tang, and Young Master Tang couldn't hold on. Why don't we still decide the outcome on the dice? I wonder if Third Young Master has the guts?" Tang Yuan's face suddenly turned red to his ears, and he hummed a few times without speaking.

  "Are you kidding me?" Jun Mo Xie thought to himself: "You want to bet on this? Do you think I, Young Master Jun, am afraid of you guys?" He sighed inwardly again: Another provocation! If it were the original Jun Mo Xie, he wouldn't be led by the nose like this!

  "I'm one too!" Du Gu Xiao Yi exclaimed excitedly. Meng Haizhou's head suddenly became as big as a bucket.

  "Come on, aren't you going to serve our honored guest some tea?" Li Feng hastily spoke up.

  Several cups of tea were served, each person had a cup in front of them. Tang Yuan picked up his teacup and drank it all at once. He wiped his mouth and said: "Third Young Master, brother is now completely relying on you, can you help me vent my grievances?"

  He let out a loud, exaggerated laugh, picked up his teacup, and quickly scanned the faces of everyone in the room with a lingering gaze.

  At this moment, Jun Ye felt that Li Feng and Meng Haizhou were both delighted; couldn't help but feel suspicious in his heart, lowered his head to examine the tea water, put it to his mouth to smell, said: "Can such poor-quality tea water be used to entertain guests? The grade is really too low." Heavily slammed on the table.

  He had already sensed the extremely strong aroma of hallucinogenic herbs in the tea, a strange flavor somewhat similar to that of opium; it was likely to have a similar effect. Drinking it might not harm his body, but it would probably affect his mental state. Looking at Meng Haizou's clothes, the colors were bright and clear, but the patterns were somewhat chaotic, making one feel uneasy at first glance. Moreover, there was another smell on him that mixed with the aroma of the hallucinogenic herbs, causing people to feel a little dizzy.

  This tea, these clothes, this fragrance, all have problems! And they are linked together, it seems that behind these people, there is an extremely powerful pharmacist!

  No wonder Tang Yuan lost even his wife before, it turns out to be like this!

  Looking again at the tea water in Dugu Xiao Yi's hand, it was clear and bottomless, without any abnormalities, obviously no medicine had been added. After all, the Dugu family was still not to be offended.

  "Hurry up and change a cup of tea for Third Young Master!" Li Feng said calmly. Seeing that Jun Xie hadn't drunk, he immediately came up with another plan.

  "Whatever, it's such a hassle. This is a place for gambling, not drinking tea. If I wanted to drink tea, I wouldn't have come here." Jun Xie lazily said: "Just this cup will do, no need to change." He tilted his head and drank it all in one gulp. "Come on, let's hurry up and start already, I can barely wait."

  Li Feng and Meng Haizhou, among others, all had joyful expressions on their faces. "Let's follow San Shao's words," they said. As they spoke, they ordered the servants to lead the way. The group proceeded in a line, arriving at a large, empty hall. Inside, aside from a huge stone table and dozens of chairs, there was nothing else. Along the way, they hadn't seen anyone else! It seemed that today, business had been suspended here temporarily in order to deal with Jun Mo Xie...

  As they walked along the road, Jun Xie suddenly looked up at the sky and let out a loud sneeze, spraying everything onto Tang Yuan's body, including snot and saliva. His robes were instantly stained with a big wet spot. Tang Yuan let out a strange cry and hastily wiped himself clean.

  He rubbed his nose, spat out a mouthful of saliva, and muttered to himself: "Strange, why do I feel dizzy and want to sneeze?" Li Feng and Meng Haizhou exchanged a glance, both with joyful expressions: The medicine is taking effect! Haha!

  In the Taishi Mansion, Taishi Li Shang was leaning against a soft couch with his eyes half-closed, listening to the melodious singing of the songstress behind the curtain. He smiled and asked: "This time, why did you entrust this matter to those incompetent people like Li Feng and Li Zhen? If it really goes wrong, won't we miss a great opportunity? That little devil from the Jun family is not worth worrying about, but the old devil behind him is extremely difficult to provoke. If he finds out, although we are not afraid, it will still be troublesome!"

  His words seemed to have a hint of blame, but his tone was very relaxed and casual. Although it was a question, his expression showed that he was very trusting and confident in the person in front of him.

  Across from him, however, was a handsome young man with a refined face, wearing a white robe and a light shirt. His lips were red, his teeth were white, his eyebrows were clear and his eyes were bright. He had a slender and elegant figure, and he was indeed a charming young man of the mundane world. He sat upright like a mountain, and every move he made was calm and composed, revealing an elegant and noble demeanor. Upon hearing this, he smiled lightly and said in a flat tone: "Grandfather has always been so cautious in his actions, I admire that. However, Jun Mo Xie is just a thoroughbred spoiled brat. If we still need to mobilize heavyweight figures to deal with him, it's overestimating him. Even if the plan doesn't work out, given his character, we will inevitably have more opportunities. It's really not necessary to attach too much importance to dealing with him. Moreover, if people of a higher level mix with this kind of unrefined spoiled brat, they will only appear out of place and be more likely to reveal their tracks and ruin the big plan."

  "Jun Mo Xie may be young and inexperienced, but he is extremely confident. If we let some of the more cunning and intelligent people deal with him, it will only end in embarrassment."

  He raised an eyebrow, a hint of mockery at the corner of his mouth: "Although Li Feng and Li Zhen are not good at doing things, they can actually get along with Jun Mo Xie's stench; this is because everyone has their own use! Using spoiled brats to deal with spoiled brats, especially ones like Jun Mo Xie who are brainless, using the two of them as the main force will unexpectedly produce an unusual effect. If we still need to use our core strength to deal with someone like Jun Mo Xie, I'm afraid he won't buy it, let alone... " He chuckled lightly, the rest of his meaning unspoken, but everyone understood: why use a butcher's knife to kill a chicken?

  A master should be matched with a master! Fine steel is meant to be used on the blade! Letting an ultimate master fight against ordinary people who are unarmed, not only will they not feel that the task is easy, but also have a feeling of being doubly insulted!

  If "Yang Chun Bai Xue" were played in front of a butcher, not only would the player feel extremely stifled; even the butcher himself would be like sitting on pins and needles, or perhaps drowsy.

  "It's indeed!" Li Shang looked at his eldest grandson, Li You Ran, with admiration and approval of his words. This grandson was truly more pleasing to look at every day. As the leader of the younger generation of his family, Li You Ran showed exceptional leadership qualities in every gesture, speech, and expression, making him unbeatable! Whether it was strategic thinking or mental prowess, he was a one-in-a-million talent, and even his cultivation of the mysterious energy was among the best of the geniuses. At just 25 years old, he had already reached the realm of Jin Xuan's Golden Core stage. Such speed was unparalleled in the entire Tianxiang Kingdom!

  What's most valuable is that Li You Ran has a very calm temperament, never being arrogant or impatient, and is also very low-key. He is extremely good at secretly planning and plotting everything out, and at such a young age, he already has the makings of someone who can plan from behind the scenes and win victories from afar! Even his own self from back then couldn't compare to this! It's clear that if the Li family wants to rise up, their hopes for the next generation will have to be placed on Li You Ran! Having a grandson like this, he really has something to be proud of!

  Li You Ran's greatest advantage is that he never underestimates anyone, judging things as they are and people as they are; even when evaluating someone like Jun Mo Xie, who is considered to be of a lower status, Li You Ran's tone remains calm and composed, without any hint of disdain or contempt, simply offering his honest opinion.

  Such a person, no matter where he is placed, is always the best choice, outstanding among his peers!

  "This plan is also thorough, but it's always better to be prepared for any unexpected situation. If we can succeed in one go, that would be the best!" Although he thought that Jun Mo Xie was absolutely impossible to escape this time's calculation, after all, this plan was personally devised by Li You Ran, and it was through Tang Yuan's roundabout way, if Jun Mo Xie could escape with his foolish personality, it would be a strange thing! As long as Jun Mo Xie fell into the trap, Li You Ran naturally had further plans to make him never able to escape! And at that time, the Jun Zhan Tian lineage would either collapse or disintegrate due to this incompetent grandson and could no longer pose any threat!

  "What if?" Li You Ran furrowed his brow, recalculating all the plans in his mind once again. He shook his head slightly: "There won't be any what-ifs! Moreover, this time Meng Haizhou is also watching from the side. Although Meng Haizhou isn't a big deal, he's still more than enough to handle Jun Moxie! Jun Moxie, you can't escape my palm!"

  "What if he escaped?" Li Shang obviously took this sentence as a joke.

  "Escaped?" But after thinking seriously for a moment, he finally lost his smile. Li looked at the door with a calm expression and said, "Then, he's not Jun Moxie!"
