"I, Jun Mo Xie, am Mo Jun Ye! Miao Xiao Miao is my woman!" Jun Mo Xie slowly revealed the truth.
Only heaven's knew how terrifying the impact of this statement was to Miao Zhan and the rest!
When they departed from Misty Illusory Manor, Miao Jing Yun had already hinted that this Evil Monarch was very likely to be the 'prodigy' Mo Jun Ye of the Misty Illusory Manor! So the three of them had already prepared themselves to associate this Evil Monarch with Mo Jun Ye.
If they were the same person, then they were no strangers. Mo Jun Ye was the son-in-law of the Miao Family.
Although they did not know why this Evil Monarch, Jun Mo Xie, had gone into the Misty Illusory Manor, but the three of them were confident that someone like Jun Mo Xie would definitely take responsibility.
Especially when they've heard stories of the countless times he was enraged on the behalf of beautiful women. He treated women relatively well, so it seemed unlikely for him to be capable of cheating someone of their feelings then abandoning them later. Everyone had witnessed how he helped Xiao Miao through her tribulation. Now that they knew of his real identity, all the doubts they had back then were answered!
So these three old men had only been considering about what they should do on their entire journey to the Evil Monarch Manor. Lay all their cards on the table? Or not? What should they do to allow the benefits to be maximised…
But upon arriving in Evil Monarch Manor and seeing Jun Mo Xie with their own eyes, the three of them abolished that 'guess' simultaneously.
Because that almost affirmative guess only seemed too far fetched right now. Not only was Jun Mo Xie different from Mo Jun Ye in terms of appearance, build, aura, and the way they handled matters, even the look in their eyes were vastly different.
Those who were good at disguising would know that one could dress themselves to become very ugly or better looking, or even change their entire appearance, but no matter how they changed it, there was no way they could change the distance between the two eyes!
The distance between the eyes, between each eye and the nasal bone, was permanently fixed! Even the greatest expert of bone shrinking technique would not be able to do this. And there was absolutely no similarity between Jun Mo Xie and Mo Jun Ye in this crucial facial structure!
In other words, these two were two different bodies! There was no way they were the same person!
So when the trio saw Jun Mo Xie, the only thought they had was—The Manor Lord has been mistaken! Jun Mo Xie is definitely not Mo Jun Ye.
Along with the birth of this thought, all their plans that followed were foiled. While bearing in mind that they'd rather work with someone familiar than someone unfamiliar, the three of them naturally more leaned towards the idea of cooperating with the three Holy Lands.
Alas, fate worked in mysterious ways. And it had been a dramatic day. First, they all denied the possibility of Jun Mo Xie being Mo Jun Ye. Yet the man himself provided the shocking answer to this possibility they had confirmed to be impossible. And sent them back to square one!
This sort of bizarre outcome was too unexpected and hard for these old, seasoned Saint Venerables to accept!
So after Jun Mo Xie revealed the 'truth', the three Saint Venerables widened their eyes and mouth and stared at Jun Mo Xie. Even the look in their eyes was exactly the same!
Three old fogies, the same actions, the same postures, the same expressions and the same similar appearance… in that hilarious comical look…
If Young Master Jun was not feeling so moody, he would have burst out laughing loudly.
"Jun… Manor Lord Jun… Y-You…" Miao Zhan finally closed his mouth and laughed bitterly. "This joke of yours is a little too much; it's just that this joke is truly not funny…"
"Joke? I do not have the mood to be joking with you all." Jun Mo Xie said sternly. "I had my own aims for entering Misty Illusory Manor as Mo Jun Ye. It may have been disrespectful towards the Misty Illusory Manor, but this Seat did not cause any slightest harm to the Misty Illusory Manor. Not only did I secretly destroy the Zhan Family's devious schemes of altering the fengshui of the Miao Family, killed two Saint Venerables of the Zhan Family, helped you all stabilize the emotions of the Rainbow Holy Tree, I also came to a consensus with Senior Miao Qing Cheng…"
The trio's expressions finally turned solemn. "You… are really Mo Jun Ye?"
Being skeptical was one thing, but this Evil Monarch seemed to know too much. Of which, even the three of them did not know as manythe details as him on majority of the matters… There was really no way to explain it if he wasn't Mo Jun Ye, who was directly involved…
"Is Mo Jun Ye really some amazing character?! That this Seat needs to impersonate?! Oh, did Saint Emperor Cao Guo Feng and the others all advance smoothly?" Jun Mo Xie said, revealing more information that absolutely no outsiders would have known about.
With this, Miao Zhan, Miao Dao and Miao Jian no longer had any doubts. Clearly, the 'unexpected' advancement that Cao Guo Feng and the rest had was really not by a stroke of luck, but a farewell 'gift' from Mo Jun Ye, which was this Evil Monarch Jun Mo Xie in front of them.
"I really do not know why did Manor Lord Jun had to disguise himself to enter Misty Illusory Manor… but I no longer have any interest in finding out your goal behind it, and I do not wish to pursue it now."
"In fact, when we departed from the Misty Illusory Manor, the Manor Lord had already hinted to us that the Evil Monarch is likely to be Mo Jun Ye. But we were all afraid to believe it, especially after seeing the real appearance of Manor Lord Jun… but right now, Manor Lord Jun has left us with no other choice but to believe it! But…"
He chuckled bitterly. "But… why is Manor Lord Jun telling me all this now? This old man really cannot figure it out. You entered Misty Illusory Manor with great difficulty, risking the danger of offending the entire Misty Illusory Manor to accomplish something. Today, as long as you don't admit to it, no one will associate you with it. But you took the initiative and told us the truth. I doubt that Manor Lord Jun is trying to test the patience of the Misty Illusory Manor with this? You don't seem to be this sort of unwise person, so…"
"There must be some other reason for this, right?" Miao Zhan said slowly.
"That's right! There is a reason! And a very important reason!" Jun Mo Xie said resolutely. "I did it for Xiao Miao!"
"For Xiao Miao?!" The trio were astonished!
The three of them had never imagined that the important reason Jun Mo Xie spoke of was Miao Xiao Miao!
They were truly astonished. They were even trying to guess what sort of motive Jun Mo Xie had. Perhaps some sort of planning for the long-term, or maybe for the blueprint of his ambitions of dominating the world. Hence, he chose to admit to it honestly to seek the forgiveness of the Misty Illusory Manor, then have a sincere cooperation…
Jun Mo Xie had indeed mentioned earlier. "Miao Xiao Miao is the woman that I approve of." But in the ears of Miao Zhan and the rest, it only sounded like he was trying to make their relationship closer.
In this world, it was a common affair for a man to have three wives and four concubines, so what more, an overlord of his generation like Jun Mo Xie? Even the descendants of influential families would have dozens of concubines. This was a common occurrence.
To men, women had always been an appendage, or rather, an accessory. Even the girls from influential families may seem different from other ordinary girls, but essentially, she was merely a tool for marriage alliances and gaining benefits. She may be showered in love and care, but when it was at a crucial timing when it concerned benefits, they'd be sacrificed without any hesitation! Even Miao Xiao Miao was the same!
But now, for a Miao Xiao Miao, Jun Mo Xie destroyed all his prior set-ups, exposed all his plans, and even risk facing the wrath of the entire Misty Illusory Manor…
To Miao Zhan and the rest, this answer, this reason was really incomprehensible! Even if they were speaking of the precious daughter of the Miao Family that they doted on the most!
Even the number one beauty in the world isn't worth doing this for, ah!
Especially when Jun Mo Xie was someone who was at the level of an overlord now! And stood at the peak of cultivation that was almost peerless!
If it was really for the sake of a mere woman, he really must be drunk for doing something like this…
Someone acting impetuously like this is really not a suitable cooperative partner! And not a suitable leader!
"Manor Lord Jun, isn't this reason you provided a little too farfetched! What I want to hear is your real objective! The real reason! And not listen to you boast of your infatuation or stubbornness! Xiao Miao is the daughter of the Miao Family; even if you two ultimately end up together, she is merely one of your many women! If Manor Lord Jun is using this as a reason for the basis of a possible cooperation between us, there is really no need to continue!"
Miao Zhan's complexion was already extremely poor. Clearly, to him, this reason 'for Miao Xiao Miao' that Jun Mo Xie provided was really a little too absurd…
"That's right. Jun Mo Xie, the three of us are old fellows who have lived for thousands of years. Do you really think that we will believe a third-rate reason like this?" Miao Jian said coldly.
"Did you not listen clearly to what I said earlier? I never wanted to cooperate with the Misty Illusory Manor. If you didn't hear it clearly, or did not understand it, I am reiterating it here again! As to what I said earlier, it's up to you whether you wish to believe it or not. It has nothing to do with me and is meaningless to me! I will still do this. So what if the entire world doesn't believe me. I, Jun Mo Xie, am still Jun Mo Xie! I am still one who does things my own way!"
Jun Mo Xie rolled his eyes and continued, "You guys do not believe it because you don't understand me, Jun Mo Xie!"
"I'd like to hear the details. I am indeed very interested to know what kind of person Manor Lord Jun is!" Miao Zhan took in a deep breath and shot a look at Miao Dao and Miao Jian to control their temper.
