Chapter 22: Gentle Guidance (Seeking Recommendation Tickets!!!)

  "You dare to glare at Tang Yuan with a fierce gaze, two sharp eyes piercing into his heart: 'Do you have the guts to do this?'"

  Tang Yuan's face twisted in a scowl, slowly calming down. He wasn't a fool either, on the contrary, he was actually a very astute young master. As Jun Xie's words gradually came back to him, he suddenly realized that there were too many things that didn't add up! This matter, fundamentally, wasn't something he could have done even in his dreams!

  Why did such an absurd thing happen in my own hands?! Why?!

  Am I really so unbearable? No! It's not like that! Although I'm not a good person, although I often do whatever I want, there are some things I still understand! What happened today is something I would rather die than do! But today I actually did it, and what's more, I did something even more outrageous, even more shameful than what I thought I could never do! Such a thing is enough to bring shame to the whole family! To make myself forever unable to turn over a new leaf!

  But why did I do this?

  In an instant, Tang Yuan's mind was in a state of confusion, and Tang Baozi almost collapsed.

  "Was Meng Haizhou wearing this same outfit before he went in?" Jun Xie's eyes were sharp, but the corners of his mouth hid a devilish smile.

  "Yes, but what's the big deal? Is there a problem?" Tang Yuan looked puzzled.

  "Didn't you smell a special fragrance on Meng Haizhou's body? It smells really good, right?" Jun Xie asked again.

  "It's... seems like there is a bit, indeed it's a very special spice." Tang Yuan was somewhat uncertain.

  "After you entered, was it also like me today, where a cup of tea was first served to you?" Jun Xie pressed on step by step.

  "Yes, okay, what's up?"

  "What's that? Hmph!"; The gentleman coldly smiled twice: "Nothing, it's just the beginning of your eternal doom!"

  Tang Yuan was not a fool. After chewing over Jun Xie's words, he suddenly jumped up, his face shocked: "You're saying... that tea actually has problems?"

  "Is that just the tea?" Jun Xie sneered coldly: "Meng Haizhou's clothes, that scent, that tea, all of them are suspicious! A group of gamblers gathering together and wanting to drink tea first? What kind of rule is this? You pig-headed fool! Such an obvious weakness and you still haven't noticed it until now?"

  "That... didn't you drink it too? Why are you okay?" Tang Yuan was still a bit dazed.

  "Do you still remember that after I drank the tea, before going in, I sneezed?" Jun Xie's face was also an indescribable expression, seemingly smiling yet not: "And got your clothes all wet, right?"

  "That's right! Something like that happened." Tang Yuan suddenly remembered.

  "Ordinary people just spray some saliva when they sneeze, but I directly got your clothes all wet in a big area. Didn't you ever suspect anything?" Xiang Ye looked at him with his head tilted.

  "Ah-ha!" Tang Yuan suddenly enlightened, but then another question arose: "But how did you know so clearly?"

  How would I know so clearly? Jun Ye was taken aback, and this was indeed a difficult question to answer. Should he tell him that his old self had been familiar with such medicines in his past life, so familiar that he didn't need his nose or eyes, but could sense them through his pores?

  He touched his nose and had no choice but to pour another basin of dirty water on himself: "Uh, that is, I used this to do the same thing before, you understand?"

  "It's indeed worthy of Jun San Shao! What a wonderful move!" Tang Yuan immediately admired and worshiped, saying: "You're really a master!"

  You're laughing and crying for nothing, let me remind you of something: "Although your IOU is gone, the fact that you lost your wife might still be spread around by them. You'd better think about what to do next."

  "Yes, what should I do?" As soon as he mentioned this matter, Tang Yuan suddenly became flustered and lost his composure.

  "For now, you only have one way out! That is to immediately go home and tell your old man everything that happened, without hiding or exaggerating anything! Take the initiative and let your dad make a decision and come up with a plan ahead of time. If you wait until your old man finds out from someone else and comes back to ask you, then you're really done for!" Jun's evil smile echoed in his stomach.

  "And you, are completely being framed passively, I believe your old man will not blame you excessively! Moreover, as for what to do about this matter, your old man is absolutely more capable than you! You're not furious with them right now? Then let me tell you a clever move, leave your treasured sword and jade pendant with me temporarily, then take one million taels of silver notes to demand the return of the pawned items from those few people! And if they can't produce it...... Do you understand my meaning?" Jun Xie spoke in a low voice, like a devil tempting humans into committing crimes.

  "Not bad!" Tang Yuan slapped his thigh, "This is the only feasible way, and it's also the only chance to take the initiative! But, if they just use money to redeem the collateral from you, then..."

  "Fool, at that time they were using those things to bet on a promise with me, not betting on the specific amount of silver! There's a big difference between them! Am I going to give it to them? Stupid! You've said so much, don't you understand yet, what are you waiting for?" Jun Xie sneered.

  "Right, I'll give you another thing." Jun Xie suddenly pulled out a teacup from his sleeve, and what was most astonishing was that there were still several water droplets at the bottom of the cup...

  "That's their cup with hallucinogens, I grabbed this sheep by the way." Jun Xie chuckled. "It seems there's still some left inside."

  "Haha... high! Really high! The Third Young Master is really high!" Amidst a chorus of flattery, Tang Da Bao carefully took the cup and scurried off like a wild horse with its butt cut off, truly living up to his nickname "Rolling".

  "Think you can outsmart me? Well, I'll calculate your moves first!" Jun Xie looked at Tang Baozi's back, which was shrouded in a cloud of dust, and smiled with great satisfaction. With Tang Baozi and his father-in-law's family background, it seemed that both the Li and Meng families would be in for a lively show this time around? Jun Xie had already settled in with his small stool to watch the spectacle.

  If it weren't for Dugu Xiaoyi's unexpected intervention and Jun Moxie becoming Jun Ye, the final outcome would have been rewritten. Even if I'm not afraid, to break through, I'd have to reveal my true strength, making myself a target of criticism. That would be a loss!

  Although they are open opponents, they are also a few spoiled brats. However, the families standing behind these spoiled brats are all first-class families in the capital! Without the consent of their families, would they dare to give Tang Yuan and Jun Xie medicine and act so recklessly and without restraint?

  No way! Absolutely impossible!

  You should know that although you are a very unimpressive young master, standing behind you is not only your father, but also the entire House of Jun. Although on the surface it seems like only your father is holding everything together now, a dead camel is still bigger than a horse. Nearly one-third of the military's generals come from under your father's command! It can be said that as long as your father remains, these people will all be Young Master Jun Mo Xie's strong backing. Because on their bodies, whether they like it or not, are branded with the 'Jun' character.

  Once something happens, it's enough to cause a sensation in the imperial court! If your family falls, these people will also have no good outcome and will be suppressed by other factions and unable to turn over! But as long as your family still exists, these people will have a backbone, they can unite together, resist external enemies! Whether domestic political enemies or foreign enemies!

  So your family can't afford to have anything happen! So you mustn't do anything rash, or if something does happen, these people won't just stand by and watch! Although everyone looks down on this young master from the bottom of their hearts, when it's time to take action, I believe no one will hesitate.

  The Tang family is the same! Although the power of the Tang family is not as strong as that of your family, in the capital city, it is also a well-known and respected family. If the Tang family and your family were to join forces, even the powerful Dugu family would have to yield!

  Of course, this does not mean that the Jun family is inferior to the Dugu family. In its heyday, the Jun family was once able to suppress the Dugu family and lasted for seven years. However, now the Jun family's talents are dwindling, while the Dugu family is like a spring bamboo shoot after rain, constantly emerging new people, with abundant talent. In this regard, they have far more reserve talent than the Jun family.

  So Dugu's family is now extremely promising, at least in the eyes of outsiders, and absolutely more promising than Jun's family.

  But as long as your family has the old master for one day, it will stand firm for a day! Even if it's imperial power, wanting to move your family would require careful consideration! It can even be said... dare not!

  But now, both Li's family and Meng's family have taken action against Tang Yuan and Jun Xie at the same time! This seems a bit unusual.

  It's extremely unusual! When things go against the norm, there must be evil at play!

  Yes, this time it's just a few spoiled brats, genuine spoiled rich kids. Even if they really make a big deal out of it, in the general sense, it's just a few kids getting too worked up and everyone will just laugh it off and no one will take it to heart. But on the other hand, what if they get their way?
