Chapter Eighty-four: The Old Master's New Move

  After a few more days, the old master suddenly had another whim and ordered that a large-scale construction project be undertaken in the central garden of the mansion. Countless famous flowers were dug up by the roots and a tower-like high-rise building was erected, with as many as seven floors, and a watchtower was installed on the top floor to monitor the surroundings.

  When nothing was happening, the old master would often lead his men to patrol around the gates of several official residences near the Jun family home. In the dead of night, there would suddenly be the sound of horseshoes clanging loudly, and shouts of "Kill!" that shook one's eardrums - the old master was exercising his remaining energy, training troops!

  But this exercise was not to be taken lightly, in these few days, several officials near the lord's residence became more and more frightened, finally spending a lot of money to buy another house and move away. Then, before anyone had time to move in, the old master gave an order, and several mansions were razed to the ground!

  With nothing to do, the old master even took the guards in the mansion and trained them like regular soldiers! Then, people who came to purchase from outside the family revealed that when there was nothing to do, the old master often used wine to dispel his worries, getting drunk...

  Everyone understands this point: no matter who, when they see hope and suddenly fall into despair, can't bear it. Fortunately, the old man's drinking habits are not bad, and he doesn't go around borrowing wine to vent his frustrations, which is a great blessing in misfortune.

  Actually everyone can understand...

  Just when he was disappointed with Sunzi, he suddenly saw a glimmer of hope for Sunzi's redemption.

  But just as they saw this hope, news arrived that their grandson had been killed.

  Just as hope was born in his heart, despair had just arrived, but then he received news that his grandson was still alive.

  I just received news that my grandson is still alive, but before I could even feel happy about it, I was told that he has become a useless person...

  Isn't this deliberately playing with people? Such intense ups and downs, even if someone's nerves are extremely resilient, it's already admirable that they can hold on without going crazy! Everyone puts themselves in others' shoes, and if they were to experience such things, they're afraid they would have collapsed long ago, performing worse than Lord Jun. Therefore, everyone has come to understand and forgive Lord Jun's various abnormalities, no longer finding them strange.

  The poor old thing, being manipulated by the heavens like this, it's a wonder he hasn't gone mad. Let him struggle, as long as he doesn't come to bother me, that's all I care about. Almost everyone thinks this way, even the usually wise Emperor himself has some such thoughts.

  In the grand courtyard of your family, in an area considered off-limits to everyone, you, Mo Xie, were smiling happily and freely, pouring a cup of wine for Jun Wu Yi who sat across from you. The wine was clear and refreshing, with a rich aroma that intoxicated before even taking a sip.

  "Unbelievable, Mo Xie, you really have this skill. This wine is truly... a world-class brew! The ones I drank before were really just garbage!" Jun Wu Yi lightly took a sip, and his eyes narrowed in intoxication. In another corner, four burly warriors were wielding iron hammers, operating bellows, doing blacksmithing work. The fiery flames had almost turned silver-white, burning the large piece of iron inside to a bright red color. They then pulled it out, raised their noses to sniff the air filled with the aroma of wine, and heavily swung down their massive hammers one after another. Their bodies were drenched in sweat, but the iron block under the hammer showed almost no change, showing that its solidity had reached an unimaginable level...

  The young master said that as long as this piece of iron is hammered to his satisfaction every day, each person will be rewarded with a pot of fine wine! Good heavens, such good wine, probably even the emperor himself hasn't drunk it before! How can this not make the four wine-loving warriors work their hearts out?!

  "Winemaking is just a small trick among various miscellaneous skills. Otherwise, we wouldn't even have anything to drink ourselves. Drinking that kind of inferior wine every day is really unbearable!" Jun Mo Xie elegantly took a sip, narrowed his eyes, and asked with interest: "Third Uncle, I heard that Grandfather got drunk the first time he drank this wine?"

  "I heard that... he got drunk." Jun frowned unintentionally and scolded with a stern face: "Don't gossip about your elders behind their backs!"

  "Hmm," Jun Mo Xie rubbed his nose, still somewhat excited and not giving up, asked: "I heard that Grandfather got drunk and sang songs? And even stuck his head in a pig's head meat to sleep?"

  "You little scamp! Are you looking for a beating?! You've already spilled the beans, can't you be more discreet?!" Jun Wu Yi was both amused and annoyed: "Who told you to not warn me that this wine is so strong beforehand? Your grandfather didn't come after you to settle accounts, that's already quite fortunate. He had to wash his beard for a whole morning before it was clean..."

  "Ah..." A meaningful "ah", Jun Mo Xie let out a sly laugh: "Grandfather's alcohol tolerance doesn't seem to be very good."

  "Let's not talk about this anymore!" Jun Wu Yi was indeed a bit uncomfortable, and he didn't feel like discussing his old man at all: "Rather, shouldn't you be preparing yourself?"

  Jun Mo Xie's face suddenly turned sour, he raised his wine cup and took a big gulp, as if to drown his sorrows, and let out a long sigh.

  The old master had a sudden brainstorm a few days ago, because Jun Moxie's current cultivation of the mysterious energy is not high, and the old master can't find anyone to practice with him, and he is also worried about leaking secrets. A few days ago, he suddenly had an epiphany and asked Dongfang Qingcang to come and teach Jun Moxie a lesson! This marked the beginning of Jun Moxie's journey to hell.

  It's actually the old man intentionally bullying his beloved grandson, who let this guy deceive him for so many years? He really deserves a beating!

  You're really helpless.

  Can't just take down his sister-in-law with one hit, can he? But if he doesn't subdue her right away, then he'll start getting beaten up himself. After all, his own creation of the universe technique is quite impressive, but it's only been practiced for less than two months, how can it be a match for Guan Qinghan who has been cultivating Xuan Qi since childhood? The Guan family's inherited techniques are now at the point of breaking through to silver-grade Xuan Qi! Putting aside his own murderous skills and using his true strength to fight against his sister-in-law whose cultivation is far superior to his, it's no different from being completely useless!

  It turns out that Guan Qinghan was actually very reluctant, and it made her uncomfortable to face Jun Moxie, but she didn't dare disobey Master Jun's orders, so she could only come over with great difficulty. Who would have thought that after coming over, she became addicted: the feeling of bullying this guy was really... very enjoyable, very comfortable!

  Especially now, Jun Mo Xie's eyes and face no longer have that charming and flirtatious look, which makes Guan Qing Han feel more at ease while still being on high alert. Moreover, there is another reason: Jun Mo Xie's newly brewed wine has a type made from fruit fermentation, sweet and extremely delicious, except for the slightly stronger aftertaste, it's simply a heavenly drink that can't be found outside! Guan Qing Han fell in love with it at first sip, so from being unwilling to now rushing over without hesitation, his change of heart was very quick!

  Come and beat up the young uncle to vent his anger, and then he can also get two jars of good wine as a reward - such a beneficial thing for body and mind, and it's still under the big hat of Lord Jun's orders, doing whatever he wants, every day Doing ten or eight times is not too much, not doing it is really unbearable!

  "Alas!" Jun Mo Xie let out a long sigh, suddenly remembering something and asked: "Third Uncle, the medicinal herbs you had people gather, how are they coming along? Such a long time has passed, it should be about done, right?"

  "You inadvertently let out a sigh and said, 'We already have a large quantity of Lian Qiu Hua, Tong Xin Cao, and Duan Xu Gen. However, there is no news about the Huo Jing He; as for Jiu Ye Cao, this herb is relatively rare and not many people use it, so it's hard to find. A few days ago, I finally heard that Jin Xiang Shang Hang discovered three plants and were transporting them to the capital. I quickly sent someone to buy them, but unexpectedly, they had already been bought by someone else...'"

  "Was it bought out?" Jun Mo Xie suddenly became vigilant, straightened his back: "That kind of medicine would not be used unless it was a severe injury with blocked meridians! How could it have been bought out at this critical moment? Could it be that the news leaked earlier and someone is targeting my family, the Jun clan?"
