"Alright, I really need to leave. The two of you can perhaps continue to discuss further." Jun Mo Xie smiled as he looked at Li You Ran."Before we part, I need to be honest with you. From the start, I had no intentions of killing you. Otherwise, I would definitely not bring you here."
"I know. Besides... I am never willing to take risks!" Li You Ran smiled in appreciation. He added in a low voice."Although I believe that in the future, you won't have any use for me, I still wish to say this: if there is a need... I, Li You Ran... will definitely spare no effort! For this conversation we had today!"
Jun Mo Xie chuckled loudly and left, making his way downstairs.
Behind him, Li You Ran added bitterly."Third Young Master.... I hope that you can... take good care of Ling Meng..."
Jun Mo Xie couldn't help but freeze for a moment before letting out a deep sigh.
Tang Yuan cried in a whiney manner."Third Young Master... If I miss you, I will need to go to Tian Fa Forest to find you... You definitely must not let those huge tigers eat me... My meat is too oily... it's not delicious..."
...
Currently, the streets were in a state of tight security. Lines of soldiers and troops walked about in neat rows, surveillancing and patrolling the place. Smoke was still rising from some places in the city, but the scene of screams and chaos from before had already vanished without a trace.
Jun Mo Xie strolled the streets slowly, but no one dared to stop to question him. When he returned home, he was astonished to find an agitated Prince Equivalent and his family waiting in the Jun Residence.
The person wielding the political power of the Tian Xiang Royal Family, the Emperor Yang Huai Yu and his family, had been completely wiped out within the past three days! Currently, only Prince Equivalent and his son, as well as Princess Ling Meng were of royal blood. The country could not be without a ruler for a day, and Princess Ling Meng was ultimately a female. It made complete sense for Prince Equivalent to take over and inherit the throne. No one would oppose this!
Furthermore, the Emperor and his three sons died because of their own internecine strifes.... There would be no contention regarding this matter.
Jun Mo Xie briefly informed Prince Equivalent and his son of the situation, especially emphasising on the matters regarding the Dugu Family, Tang Family, and Li You Ran. The way Yang Huai Nong and his son looked at Jun Mo Xie was undoubtedly as if they were looking at an immortal. Naturally, they agreed to everything Jun Mo Xie mentioned.
In a sense, Tian Xiang Empire now also had the support of a super-family. And possibly even the number one fiercest force in the world—Tian Fa Forest! Even if there was no substantial assistance, this would greatly benefit their reputation!
Why would Yang Huai Nong and his son dare to go against anything Jun Mo Xie asked them to do? Furthermore, both parties were already on extremely good terms, and it seemed like the little devil Yang Mo was the third auctioneer of Jun Mo Xie's Aristocratic Hall.... .
Asides from this, the Jun Family and Blizzard Silver City had already became official in-laws with each other. And with Blizzard Silver City sitting in the Magnificent Jewel Hall of Tian Xiang City, naturally, it would benefit Tian Xiang City greatly as well....
This was the best thing that could happen to Yang Mo and his father! It was like tossing a warm biscuit into their cold palms! The same as a gold ingot falling down from the sky and crashing on their heads! Putting them in such bliss and happiness!
However, there were still many things that still needed to be seen to, and many matters that required tying up the loose ends of. So after conversational greetings, Jun Mo Xie 'considerately' requested for the guests to take their leave. The upcoming Emperor and his son immediately left. Jun Mo Xie ordered everyone to speed up preparations for the move before returning to his own courtyard.
He still had one more thing to do: to wake Princess Ling Meng!
In the room, Princess Ling Meng laid quietly on the bed. Under Jun Mo Xie's miraculous healing hands, she had been recovering quickly, and the external wounds she sustained were no longer any issue. Only the bone injury on her knee and the blood clot in her brain remained unresolved.... .
But Princess Ling Meng had now become Jun Mo Xie's greatest headache!
First, it was the vengeance between her parents: her mother dying in her father's hand. Her dearest Uncle Ye also left as a result of the death of his beloved. Now, her remaining relatives, her father and three prince brothers, had also all died at each other's hands within the past few days....
This prideful girl in the past now became the most pitiful orphan today! She had no one to rely on in this world anymore!
If I really woke her up, what would she do?
But if I still don't save her and bring her into Tian Fa Forest directly....
What is this?
Although Jun Mo Xie did not personally have a hand in killing of the Emperor's family, but ultimately, they all died in Jun Mo Xie's scheme! If Young Master Jun had not intentionally manipulated father and son to slaughter each other, he would even do it personally and become the most vicious killer!
Just that.... . although these people were wicked beyond redemption and deserved their punishments, but at the end of the day, they were still Princess Ling Meng's family!
The easiest solution right now was to kill Ling Meng with a single strike, and let her pass away in her sleep so she would no longer have to suffer in this mortal realm. But the thought of Empress Murong Xiu Xiu and Ye Gu Han's hopes before passing away instantly made this simplest solution into the most impossible choice. But he couldn't just remain in a deadlock like this.
Let's leave it to her to choose what path to follow.
Jun Mo Xie looked at Princess Ling Meng, who was in a deep sleep on the bed and made this decision. Although Princess Ling Meng had been sleeping the whole time, her body had recuperated significantly under the nourishment of Spiritual Qi during this period of time. Compared to before she sustained her injuries, she was in a much better form now. She should be able to take this much impact!
With so many complicated matters that needed to be resolved, there was no room for any further delay. Jun Mo Xie decided to wake her up.
He gently placed his palm on top of Princess Ling Meng's head and activated his spirit energy. An seemingly intangible purple-colored Spiritual Qi burst from his palm and entered the head of Princess Ling Meng instantly, dissolving into her veins, slowly unclotting the blood clot in her brain...
Under the careful control of Jun Mo Xie, the blood clot in Ling Meng's head slowly dissolved away and became tiny bits of particles that blended into the veins and circulated in blood vessels. When they all moved away from the brain, Jun Mo Xie utilized his Spirit Energy again and separated those useless particles from blood vessels and purged it out through the skin's pores.
Everything proceeded easily and thoroughly under Jun Mo Xie's precise control...
Princess Ling Meng felt like she had been going through a long and painful nightmare. She had finally awoken from it. She slowly opened her eyes, feeling pain in her eyes from the gentle light rays that had entered her eyes...
"Where is this?... You are..." Princess Ling Meng looked at Jun Mo Xie groggily. Suddenly her eyes widened."... Jun Mo Xie? Where's my mother? My mother and Uncle Ye? They're alright, right? Where are they?" She suddenly sat up, and a sharp pain shooted up from her injured knee. She grabbed onto Jun Mo Xie's robes anxiously, seeming as though she had not realized her injuries.
"Princess, your mother... and your Uncle Ye..." Jun Mo Xie looked at the terror-stricken eyes of Princess Ling Meng, and an involuntary wave of grief hit him as he continued in a low voice."... They've both already left this world; they're already buried and at rest..."
"Already buried and at rest..." Princess Ling Meng repeated this sentence in a daze, seeming as if she had yet to process the meaning of this line. She stared ahead blankly and suddenly recalled everything that had happened before she fell unconscious. Her entire body jerked as she cried and vomited a mouthful of fresh blood."Mother... Uncle Ye... you guys are so cruel!... How could you just abandon me like this... How can you just abandon your Little Meng'er like this... Why did you not bring me along? Why did you leave me behind in this cruel world..."
Her tears were pouring out uncontrollably, and suddenly, she couldn't catch her breath and toppled over and fainted...
Young Master Jun instantly transfused Spiritual Qi and Princess Ling Meng woke up again. She laid on Jun Mo Xie's lap, wailing loudly. After a long, long time, she finally asked in a hoarse voice."The culprit... is it... him?"
Jun Mo Xie silently nodded his head and replied, "It is him."
Princess Ling Meng's body jerked. Her eyes full of unfeigned despair as she mumbled, "It's him? It really is him! Then... what should I do? What should I do?"
"This question, you no longer need to think about it." Jun Mo Xie took in a breath of air and continued."Revenge has... already been obtained."
"The revenge has been obtained?! How?!" Princess Ling Meng mumbled to herself before she suddenly picked herself up in shock. Looking at Jun Mo Xie with unblinking, teary eyes she said in a daze, "Revenge has already been obtained? You mean that.."
"Um." Jun Mo Xie swallowed his saliva, feeling for the first time that some things were not easy to say."Revenge is indeed already obtained. The murderer and his sons... are all dead... and you, have been unconscious for almost two months..."
"The murderer and his three sons... are all dead..." Princess Ling Meng was completely lifeless at this point. Whatever Jun Mo Xie said, she just repeated it to herself. It took a long while before she realized that 'the murderer and his three sons' referred to... my own father and three brothers?
Dead ?
Princess Ling Meng's entire body trembled vigorously. In an extremely weak and hoarse voice, she asked, "They... They... how did they die?" She was slowly snapping back to her senses, and she knew that Jun Mo Xie would definitely and not make such a terrifying joke with her at this point in time.
"It essentially went down like this: a couple of days ago, the second prince Yang Dan suddenly killed the first prince! Then he started a rebellion, and the Emperor and third prince activated their troops to suppress him. Both sides engaged in a great battle, then at the frontline of both armies, the second prince first killed the third prince, then killed the Emperor... Yang Huai Yu. Lastly, the second prince was arrested by Prince Equivalent and his troops and beheaded..."
Jun Mo Xie shared this in a concise and comprehensive manner. At the end, he scratched his head a little apologetically and looked at Princess Ling Meng, whose eyes were completely in a state of daze, and said, "Of course... I had a bit of involvement in this matter... it was me who instigated the second prince to start his rebellion... This entire matter could also be said to have been single handedly orchestrated by me, Jun Mo Xie! I added fuel to the fire! I believe you also understand my reason: revenge! Revenge for my father and my second uncle, my two brothers, and those countless innocent valiant souls who were lost due to this matter!"
The look in Princess Ling Meng's eyes gradually turned into that of shock. She had even forgotten to weep, only staring at him in astonishment. Not making a single noise.
"So... your father and the three princes, could be said to have all died in my arrangement! There is no difference from that to dying in my hands!" Jun Mo Xie finally finished what he had to say. He calmly looked at Princess Ling Meng."Today, in your entire blood-related family, aside from yourself, there is no one else still alive."
