The answer was too obvious, and there was no need for consideration! It definitely was the work of the expert hiding in the Jun Residence! It looked like this person's brilliant creation skills were not only limited in its use on Xuan Beasts, but also on humans! And it completely ignored the original user's natural talent and endowments! Truly magical!
Without a doubt, in time, these two disabled children would grow and become cold-blood assassins who would shock the world! The three Saints could foresee it: even if these two brats killed every single person in this world, they wouldn't even be emotionally moved even the tiniest bit!
Born to be assassins! Naturally cold-blooded!
Goddamnit, where did all these monsters come from? The three Saints felt powerless! Why are there so many strange and odd things gathered in here? We haven't even met the man himself. but we are already depressed from all the blows…
"Two little brothers, we are here to visit Princess Ling Meng." Li You Ran put on an affable and amiable smiling face and spoke gently.
Li You Ran didn't have the perceptiveness and knowledge of the three Saints; although he did feel that those two children gave off a vibe that made people uncomfortable, he did not pay it any heed. If those two children weren't part of the Jun Family, he wouldn't even be bothered by them!
Li You Ran was actually waiting for Old Pang to help him do the introductions, but he realized that the fellow had already snuck away when he turned around to look for him. After scolding Old Pang in his head for a while, left without a choice, Li You Ran had to do it himself.
"Visit Princess Ling Meng? Who you? Why are you smiling so disgustingly? Are you sick?" The voice came from the child on the left, but the intonation was exceptionally strange. A pair of eyes that were like the blade of an actual sword shot daggers at Li You Ran! Li You Ran actually left a sharp pain in his eyes!
Scary!
But the three Saints had simultaneously discovered another unfathomable thing! This child was speaking, but not with his mouth! His mouth still remained close, not even moving! But his voice just came out like that.
Where did it come from?
The three Saints could tell: The stomach! When he spoke, the clothes near his abdomen swelled up a little. Clearly, he had created intonations with the vibrations of his abdominal cavity to speak…
What the f*ck! That's a demon right there!
…
The three Saints felt like they were really breaking down at this moment… Why is there something so mysterious happening again? This is too puzzling! Could it be that these two children are not only crippled, but also mutes? Or not why are they not speaking properly with their mouths?
"Oh, I'm Li You Ran. Haha, two little brothers, let us pass, we are all good people." Li You Ran took out two gold ingots and handed them over, his smile turning even more kind and gentle.
"So you are the hypocrite Li You Ran!" The child looked at the gold in his hand disdainfully and rolled his eyes. Continuing in that peculiar intonation, he said, "We've heard of you from a long time ago: you are a lecherous demon capable of all sorts of evil. You are tyrannical, taking advantage of everyone, and also extremely hypocritical; when you smile at someone, there are definitely no good intentions behind it… You, why are you still smiling at me? What are you trying to get at?"
Li You Ran smiled bitterly. What the hell, when did my image become like this? Lecherous demon? Capable of all sorts of evil? These words you just said seem to be describing your Young Master Jun Mo Xie…. But why are they used on me? I may have committed some evil in my life, but it's always behind people's backs; no one knows of it!
"Tian Can, why are you still chatting with them? If they want to visit Sister Ling Meng, then just let them in; we'll just watch from the side. Is there anyone in this world who can play tricks right in front of us?" The child on the right finally spoke as well, but also in that odd intonation without opening his mouth.
And this child was extremely confident! Was there anyone in this world who could play tricks right in front of them?
"Two kids, why are you not speaking with your mouths? Is it very fun to speak with your bellies?" Chi Tian Feng asked with a smile.
The two children shot him a disdainful look, as if they were looking at a moronic, retarded person. They said at the same time, "'Fun my ass! If we were able to speak with our mouths, we would've spoken with them a long time ago. You're already so old, but how is it that you are still an idiot?"
Then they both opened their mouths simultaneously before closing it. A contemptuous expression appeared on their faces.
The three Saints laughed bitterly. In that split second, they had seen it very clearly. The tongues of these two children had been cut completely off... No wonder they look at us with such disdain—so that's the reason!
From their perspective, he had indeed asked a completely stupid question.
"Your young master is really cruel, to cut off your tongues." Sa Qing Liu squinted, teasing these two children.
"Don't you dare insult our Young Master!" The two children shot a murderous glare, like a venomous snake baring its teeth! "Who cut our tongues is none of your business! How does it even concern you? Didn't you come to visit Sister Ling Meng? If you're not going in, then please leave!"
Li You Ran and the three Saints laughed bitterly, at a loss about what to do with these children with such odd temperaments…
The four of them entered the room, and Tian Can and Di Que followed behind them, watching them with wary in their eyes.
Princess Ling Meng was still unconscious, lying inside Jun Mo Xie's room with four maids serving her.
A flash of sorrow appeared in Li You Ran's eyes. He walked over slowly, hoping to take a closer look, but a small figure flashed before him. Tian Can stood, blocking his eye. He glared at him, "Look from here! Do not go any closer! Or I'll kill you! Don't stay that I didn't warn you!"
A sword flashed and Li You Ran felt his body turning cold. A narrow, shortsword was already pointing at him. In that moment, facing this little kid and a sword that was just like a toy sword, Li You Ran felt all the hair on his body standing up and chills running down his spine!
As if the person before him was not a ten year old child, but a venomous, poisonous snake!
And this snake was ready to devour someone!
Li You Ran took two steps back quickly and tried his best to smile even more gently. He whispered, "Big Brother here only wishes to take a look and see if we can save your Sister Ling Meng!"
"We have no use for your fake kindness! Sister Ling Meng is my Young Master's woman; even if she dies, she is my young master's ghost! What does this have to do with you? Do we need you to sympathize?" Tian Can looked at him scornfully, seemingly eager to stab a bloody gash across this handsome face! Although his intonation was odd, but it was full of murderous intent!
At this point, Cui Chang He shook his head and gave Li You Ran a look. Li You Ran understood and said, "If that's the case, then I shall take my leave and visit again another day!"
"No need, you don't have to come back for the rest of your life! If you appear before us again, it'll be our swords that shall greet you!" This was said by Di Que, who was even more cold and aloof.
Li You Ran and the three Saints slowly made their way out.
But they could hear Tian Can and Di Que speaking softly inside with their weird intonations.
"They claimed to be paying a visit? Clearly they came with bad intentions."
"Exactly, not even bringing any gifts when coming to visit? That's too impolite; I can't even be bothered to look down on him… Not even knowing how to put up an act, someone like this has the cheek to call himself Tian Xiang's gifted scholar? Number one vegetable seeds sounds more right Hahaha…"
"Yeah… He's not even as thoughtful as we are. No wonder Young Master often said that this fellow looks clever but is actually a moron. We are physically disabled, but he is mentally disabled, more disabled than us…."
"How could you speak so blindly. Other than having his limbs, how could he even compare to us?!"
"True, I've said something wrong, how could he even be compared to us…"
"…"
Li You Ran almost vomited an entire mouthful of blood. He was exceedingly wealthy and clever; who wasn't in awe and fear of him? To think that he was being looked down upon by two kids in the Jun Family…. to be held in contempt in such an arrogant, unrestrained manner!
Just at this moment, there was an adorable shout. "Li You Ran, why did a pervert like you come out from there? Say it! Did you have bad intentions?!" It was Dugu Xiao Yi, with Snowy wagging its tail and trailing behind her. Her bright eyes glared mercilessly at Li You Ran, as if she had seen a complete lecher!
"I have come to visit Princess Ling Meng. Why, is there a problem?" Since their arrival, nothing had gone smoothly, and there was absolutely no gain. Even his final goal of visiting Princess Ling Meng wasn't achieved. He was already feeling frustrated over this matter, but at Dugu Xiao Yi's fierce accusations, he was even more unhappy. Why am I a lecher? Young Master Li You Ran, who had always had an easygoing personality, lost his temper for the first time.
Li You Ran might have been ruthless, heartless, and willing to sacrifice anyone without hesitation when needed (anyone, including Princess Ling Meng). But Princess Ling Meng was still the only woman he had truly loved in his life; this was an undeniable fact!
Watching his beloved woman lying in bed and not knowing whether she'd pull through, his heart was bleeding. But to be told, 'Sister Ling Meng is my Young Master's woman; even if she dies she is my young master's ghost! What does this have to do with you?'
This sentence had dealt a huge blow to Li You Ran! It was a blow that had hit directly and heavily in the deepest of his heart! Making this Young Master Li You Ran, who had always been sophisticated and had never revealed his emotions on his face, vomit blood on the spot!
What man in this world would not be affected, seeing the woman he loved deeply get called another person's woman? Not immediately picking up his sword and engaging in a fight already counted as having extreme self-preservation…
So Dugu Xiao Yi's angry accusation triggered the fury in his heart!
"Visit Ling Meng? Is Sister Ling Meng someone you should even see? Li You Ran, why are you pretending to be righteous? Did you really think that no one would know of what you've done?" Dugu Xiao Yi was enraged, and as Princess Ling Meng's best friend, Dugu Xiao Yi was extremely clear about everything regarding Princess Ling Meng. Furthermore, after listening to Jun Mo Xie's detailed explanation, Dugu Xiao Yi felt extremely disgusted at Li You Ran!
And Li You Ran dared to talk back! All of the anger in Dugu Xiao Yi rose and she began to scream and shout angrily! She had came over on Old Master Jun's orders to provoke them, so she logically displayed her might!
Old Master Jun's arrangements were fitted perfectly together. He was confident that even if a deity arrived, this countermeasure would be able to achieve the effects he had expected!
As Dugu Xiao Yi jumped out, Old Master Jun stroked his beard while reading a military warfare book, completely immersed in it…
Li You Ran? You may be clever, but you are still young. Trying to play tricks in front of me? Let's not even talk about you; even your Grandfather Li Shang is too green for it…
