The Old Gramps calmly and carefreely threw a small fit of anger. He walked out with his hands placed behind his back. As he walked out the door, his originally smiling face became as grim as still water, and anyone who saw this, without exception, would go quiet out of fear. From the Old Man’s perspective, he feared that it was probably the end for the Third Young Master. Even if he wasn’t a wastrel, then wouldn’t he might as well be? Never had anyone seen the old man’s complexion turn this dark. So dark it was akin to a cauldron.
Tang Yuan had returned home to Grandpa Tang to report about the trip. The Old Gramps was sighing endlessly. Never did he expect, in the Jun Family’s long line of generals and military men, their last successor would be forced go down the path of a civil bureaucrat. Truly lamentable, truly too lamentable!
And as for the affair of Grandfather Jun’s sudden anger, Tang Yuan mumbled, trying to explain, but as expected, Grandpa Tang also got angry. “You dunce! Talking drivel about things you have no knowledge about, for what? Back then, it was that old fart, Li Shang, who had his dantian destroyed by none other than Jun Zhantian with a single punch… Now, get out!”
Tang Yuan hadn’t realised that he was kissing ass so hard, he ended up kissing the actual ass. He then quickly ducked his head, and ran away.
Merely a day had passed, yet knowledge of the Third Young Master’s condition had spread throughout the whole capital.
At some point in the recent past, there was a rumour going around. The rumour that widely spread throughout the capital was that the debauchee Jun Moxie, Young Master Jun, in his own residence, was turning over a new leaf, and was strongly determined to succeed. Every family in the capital had heard about this to some extent. However, for this rumour to actually be true would be a bit too astonishing. Even so, some families started investigating in secret. They had investigated a good deal of Jun Moxie’s past movements. Of course Jun Moxie wasn’t to be feared, granted even if he were to be feared, he was merely a weak, feeble youngster; nothing more. What was terrifying was that the Jun family had produced a successor. If he were to become a brilliant young talent, now that would truly be disastrous.
However, at present, after the “serious and sorrowful” news made its way out, many people immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It even became a source of laughter. A topic people would discuss leisurely while drinking tea: a debauchee young master, suddenly becoming a prodigal son. Turning over a new leaf, and walking the correct path. Then right after deciding to train himself for several days, he completely turned that training into a waste by crippling himself. Prior to making such an effort to change, he could at least cultivate Xuan Qi. However now, he was completely crippled… This… now was there anything in the world that was funnier than this situation, right?
As for the authenticity of this news, there was really no one doubting it this time. Because two sources, were both genuine to an authoritative extent—Jun Moxie’s die-hard buddy Tang Yuan had personally witnessed it, and had spread the news himself!
And, the country’s number one imperial doctor reputed as the “death repelling master”, Fang Huisheng, made the diagnosis himself!
Who would dare to suspect a thing? Anyone who suspected anything would simply be making their lives harder. Of these noble families, which didn’t cherish their lives? Fang Huisheng was equivalent to their life support if they were to suffer illnesses or injuries! To befriend Fang Huisheng, that was tantamount to having a second life! If someone dared to say something like: I feel that Doctor Fang’s words are not trustworthy! I’d fear that kind of person wouldn’t last even half a day, and would quickly be drowned in spit…
