Chapter 13 Extortion
The gatekeeper stood at attention and replied. “Yes. The Dugu Family’s seven young masters have indeed come to find the Third Young Master. As for other occurrences, this subordinate does not know.” The gatekeeper had served under Jun Wuyi in the army years ago. How could he not understand the latter’s intentions?
“So that’s what happened. It sounds like the kids were just playing pranks on each other. Why should we get involved?” Jun Wuyi asked as he looked indifferently at Dugu Wudi. “Brother Dugu, I’m embarrassed that an esteemed individual such as yourself had to make come here for this matter between the younger generation. Haha, I can tell that you really do dote on your children.”
Dugu Wudi’s long face suddenly flushed red as he said. “I don’t really care about these kids myself, but my old man was worried and forced me to come over and take a look. It would be extremely unfortunate if the seven kids get carried away and cause any inconveniences for the Jun Family.”
“Yes, haha, that would be unfortunate.” Jun Wuyi smiled lightly and continued. “But we elders of the Jun Family never interfere in matters between the juniors. If Brother Dugu needs to look for your sons and nephews, then you should talk directly to my nephew, Jun Mo Xie. My body always has aches and pains; I’m already starting to feel unwell from our short conversation. This is a little embarrassing!”
Dugu Wudi’s face turned purple; he hummed and hawed for a long time, but remained speechless. I need to talk to Jun Mo Xie? Are you kidding me? Do you know who I am? Who is he? Not to mention that I’m also an elder. But, everyone knows that Jun Family’s third master’s body and health are not in the best of conditions; taking the time to speak with me was already giving face. I just couldn’t bring myself to ask him to do anything!
“You, quickly lead Great General Dugu to the young master’s courtyard.” Jun Wuyi smiled as he cups his fist. “Brother Dugu, please make yourself at home. I assume you should still be familiar with the Jun Family’s residence. Your little brother is a bit tired, so I’ll take my leave first.”
“Third Brother don’t have to worry about me. Just take care of yourself.” Dugu Wudi forced a smile, feeling entirely awkward and uncomfortable. Although his Dugu Family were only carrying out the Emperor’s orders all those years ago—they had still made their move on the Jun Family at an incredibly awkward time when the latter had only recently suffered a the tragic loss of their two great sons in battle. That’s why Jun Wuyi was always prejudiced against him.
Over the years, Dugu Wudi had always wanted to resolve this misunderstanding. Although his conscience was clear, he always lowered his head unconsciously every time he had to face Jun Wuyi. Because of his honest and upright nature, he had always regretted not standing by Jun Wuyi when he needed him most. And then his family…
Although the Dugu Family had always wanted to help the Jun Family, but Jun Mo Xie on the other hand—beating up the kid eight or ten times still wouldn’t be enough! He almost felt like it was his duty to act in Jun Wuhui’s stead and teach his son a lesson…
With a deep exhale, Dugu Wudi walked inside the Jun residence; his overwhelming aura had already greatly diminished. He knows that Jun Wuyi was essentially advising him to let the children work things out by themselves. As an elder, it would be inappropriate for him to involve himself in their affairs.
Dugu Wudi roared in his heart. I don’t want to get involved either! However, an inexplicable feeling overcame him when he saw Jun Wuyi’s placid face; that striking resemblance was as if he was seeing his most respected older brother from all those years ago. Any anger quickly dissipated in his heart.
Seeing Jun Mo Xie standing in the distance, Great General Dugu’s imposing aura can’t help but emanate out once again. I might have felt guilty in front of your Third Uncle, but how can this general not get angry seeing how you’ve played fast and loose with my daughter? Just wait and see how I sort you out you little brat!
Eh? Where is the gate to the courtyard behind Jun Mo Xie?!
The gate? The gate was obviously destroyed by Dugu Ying and his brothers, yet Young Master Jun remained very courteous and bowed as Dugu Wudi approached. “So it turns out Uncle Dugu has honored me with a visit. Seeing you have made your little nephew’s day. Please quickly come in.” He waved his hands in a welcoming gesture.
Great General Dugu was not reserved as he walked straight in, sweeping a glance at the interior of the courtyard behind Jun Mo Xie.
Dugu Wudi sucked in a breath. How did everything fall apart like this!?
“Those seven sons of a bitch did this? You all are about to be in a world of hurt!” Dugu Wudi was furious. He had made it explicitly clear that they were to snatch Jun Mo Xie without causing any damage to the Jun Family’s property. How did ever
