Chapter 65: The Devil's Errand

  The carriage was completely destroyed, and it was naturally unbearable to mention. Princess Ling Meng turned over and jumped onto a horse led by the guard, slowly returning, but her mood was exceptionally heavy.

  Murong Qianjun hastily ordered the Imperial Guards to follow, keeping Princess Ling Meng tightly in the middle. As he rode away on his horse, he turned back and took a glance, thinking: That scoundrel Jun Mo Xie looks like he's heavily injured, I wonder if he'll die? If he does, that would be best. Just looking at him makes me want to hit him, what a standard good-for-nothing! With that kind of behavior, he actually dared to pursue Princess Ling Meng, truly unaware of his own weight.

  He hummed a tune in his mouth, riding on horseback, looking at the elegant and beautiful figure of Princess Ling Meng in front of him, and couldn't help but be dazzled and infatuated, his soul was upside down, his heart was infinitely crooked, for a moment his soul flew outside, and he completely forgot to send someone to report to the imperial family...

  "I said, old man, you've been following me for three days like a ghost, aren't you infatuated with my handsome and elegant self?!" Jun Ye was being held in the old man's arms like a baby, this old man was as dry as a wind-dried chicken, his whole body almost without flesh, making Jun Ye feel extremely uncomfortable all over, just like lying on a pebble beach; knowing that this old man definitely wouldn't harm him, he deliberately opened up with ridicule!

  "Phooey, do you think I'd willingly follow a good-for-nothing like you? You're always running around in all directions, coming up with who-knows-what kind of scheme, and slipping out of my sight. How's that working out for you? Suffering the consequences yet? If it weren't for your grandfather spending a small fortune... Hmm? How did you know I've been following you for three days?"

  The old man's face was filled with indignation, feeling that following this young master was beneath him. He was about to vent his frustrations when he suddenly realized something was off. This little guy actually knew he had been following him for three days! How could his stealthy tracking skills have regressed to such an extent? Shocked, he stopped in his tracks. He even didn't mind being called "old man" by Jun Xie, a term that showed great disrespect!

  "Idiot! Such a simple question and you still ask, of course someone told me." Jun Xie's mind turned, and he casually spoke out. This old man's tracking methods may not be as good as Jun Xie's eyes, but even in his past life, they were top-notch. With Jun Mo Xie's original abilities, even if he practiced for another 180 years, he wouldn't have noticed, let alone escaped this person's line of sight.

  "You're the idiot! With your idiocy, you wouldn't even notice me... Hmm? Who told you? But that person helped you escape my line of sight!?" The old man suddenly felt a chill, with his own tracking skills being reversed and he didn't even know it. And that person also had the ability to make a trashy kid like Ruo Jun Mo Ye escape from his own pursuit, this... was really too frightening.

  What kind of strength is this?! If this person were an enemy...

  "I have no idea who that person is." Jun Xie continued to bluff. "I've never seen him before."

  "Oh... Of course, as a high-ranking person, how could you possibly see him? So, it was his idea to get rid of me too? The old man took the lead and asked, but he also had a glimmer of hope in his heart. After all, he was very confident in his tracking and counter-tracking skills. He was suspicious: Could it be that the Supreme God Xuan has taken notice of me? No, could it be..."

  The more I think about it, the more I feel a sense of panic in my heart.

  In fact, this old man's means are indeed effective, otherwise, with the skills of a generation of killer king Jun Xie, it would not have taken three days to deal with him!

  "Of course, I'm saying old man, are you done yet? Why keep talking about these unrelated things? Where exactly do you want to take me? Hurry up and send me back home, that's the proper thing to do." Jun Xie felt a bit uncomfortable, silently cursing in his heart: "Hurry up and send me back home so I can use the Hongyuan Tower to treat my injuries. If we're somewhere else and something unexpected happens, what would happen?"

  "Nonsense! You little brat, you're injured like this, if I don't fix you up, you'll be dead before we even get back home!" The old man was somewhat displeased in his heart. With my skills, I was actually counter-tracked by someone! Damn it! If I directly return to the Jun family, your family's old man will surely scold me to death with anger and frustration!

  How can we possibly return at this humiliating moment if we don't capture this little brat quickly?

  As they spoke, the two of them arrived at a low and humble civilian house. The old man bent down and hastily carried Jun Xie inside, putting him on the ground before beginning to carefully examine his wounds from top to bottom. He couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement!

  He had a sword wound on his chest, almost piercing through, and two clear purple-black bruises, obviously from being kicked by two feet at the same time. With the skills of those silver-ranked assassins, either of those moves would have been fatal. This kid was stabbed in the chest and kicked twice but hadn't died, and could still speak! But what's even more astonishing is that not a single rib was broken! The old man carefully used his spiritual energy to examine his meridians, and found no damage to his internal organs, nor any internal injuries, and couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise.

  "This sword is also stabbed too cleverly! It actually stabbed into the gap! This little ghost's luck is also too good!"

  "Hey kid, those killers wouldn't be the ones you invited, would they? How come they're treating you with such care? Looking at your injuries, I'm extremely suspicious - you two must be in cahoots. You want to play hero and rescue the beauty to win her favor?" The old man stroked his beard, slanting his eyes, looking as sly as possible.

  The old man's sudden and absurd idea almost made Jun Xie suffocate, and he couldn't help but laugh: "Old man, you really are too daring to think like that, if it weren't for the fact that I'm still alive... Is this what they call a heroic rescue? ... You're still dazed, hurry up and bandage my thigh, can't you see it's still bleeding?" Jun Xie was speechless, how could someone of his grandfather's age be so unreasonable and unorthodox? How did his own grandfather end up inviting such a person to follow him around?

  "Hmph, you rascal, do I need you to teach me how to do things?!" The old man puffed out his mustache. "You're lucky, kid! You won't die and you won't be crippled either!" He said, patting the young man's thigh in a retaliatory manner, "It's nothing."

  His thigh had just been stabbed with a sword, although it didn't hurt the bone, but the muscle was pierced. A real one knife two holes. Now being patted by him like this, suddenly all kinds of pains came together, the pain was heart-wrenching, biting his teeth and gasping for several breaths, sweat beads had already seeped out on his forehead, he hissed from between his teeth: "Old man, do you have a granddaughter?"

  The old man suddenly became vigilant, glaring: "What do you want to do?" But he forgot that this kid's excuse was to let him treat his thigh. It is worth noting that the sword on his chest is much more important than his thigh!

  If you have a granddaughter, I'll rape her first and then kill her! You heartless old man, die of heartache! Jun Xie cursed loudly in his heart. Haven't you seen that I'm seriously injured? And yet you're still slapping my wound hard!

  "Oh, what I mean is that this kind of work is more suitable for women as they are more meticulous."

  When under someone else's roof, one cannot but lower his head!

  "That won't do!" The old man shook his head: "You little scoundrel, the whole of Tianxiang City knows that!"

  You're completely speechless, who said I'm a wolf in sheep's clothing? The wolf in sheep's clothing is obviously you, not me...

  The old man had finally finished treating his wounds, and it was already deep into the night.

  Two people, one anxious to use the Hongyuan Pagoda to heal his wounds and recover as soon as possible, but unfortunately had no opportunity, was extremely frustrated; the other was thinking hard about who could discover me and track me down, who is that mastermind? These two heartless things didn't even think of sending a message back home first.

  While making a solemn promise to Ling Meng Gong, Murong Qianjun, who was mainly responsible for reporting back to the imperial family, directly threw this "small matter" far away...

  But what the two least expected was that before the old man arrived, Ling Meng Gong Zhu had already sent someone to deliver a message to Jun's family, saying that Jun Mo Xie had gone missing (died)......

  They never thought that this delay would lead to the old master Jun Zhan Tian's rage, almost causing a bloodbath in the capital!!

  Just as night was falling, the assassin suddenly attacked Princess Ling Meng's carriage, the Tang family's mansion was also on high alert.
