Chapter 45: Brothers at Odds
“Lord Jun, you’ve worked hard!”
On Dingjun Mountain, thousands of voices shouted in unison! Everyone gathered their spiritual energy, causing a cloud of dust to rise and obscure the sky!
Jun Xizhu glanced around, nodded with a smile, her demeanor restrained, keeping others at bay, yet she did not speak again.
Hundreds of knights swiftly formed two lines, protecting Jun Xizhu in the center as they marched in unison towards the location of Young Master Wei.
Jun Xizhu's arrival signified that the great battle was about to begin!
Various prominent families dispatched their key figures to discuss matters, while also observing Jun Xizhu’s attitude…
Only one person looked in the direction where Jun Xizhu and her entourage had departed, his expression complex, remaining silent for a long time.
This person was dressed in white, his face as smooth as jade, exuding a dignified calmness. His eyes were deep like the sea, his tall figure was adorned with black hair that floated in the air; in his hand, he held a purple jade flute that emanated a crystal-clear glow.
Mo Tianji!
After receiving Jun Xizhu's extortion order, Mo Tianji was anxious and gathered sixty million in silver notes in a hurry, rushing through the night to wait for Jun Xizhu.
He had been here for several days but had never shown his face.
Because… he did not want to encounter Mo Tianyun!
The two were siblings, yet no matter what, they could never see eye to eye. When Mo Tianyun saw Mo Tianji, he wanted nothing more than to pull his tendons and skin him alive; conversely, Mo Tianji felt a mix of frustration, entanglement, and disgust when he saw Mo Tianyun.
In Mo Tianyun's eyes, Mo Tianji's strategies were merely clever tricks, unworthy of attention; in Mo Tianji's eyes, Mo Tianyun's schemes were akin to a child playing with mud, a fool trying to show off—this amalgamation of foolishness was simply nauseating…
The brothers’ relationship had gradually devolved from superficial cordiality to mutual scheming over the years; it slowly evolved into an undercurrent of tension, leading to open strife, and eventually to a deadly rivalry!
But now, he could not avoid meeting Mo Tianyun.
Dressed in elegant white, with a calm and gentle expression, Mo Tianji approached, and Mo Tianyun’s attendant hurried in to report: “Eldest Young Master, the Second Young Master has arrived!”
“The Second Young Master? Mo Tianji?” Mo Tianyun snorted, saying, “Let him in!”
Before the words left his mouth, Mo Tianji had already arrived at the door, speaking elegantly: “I’ve arrived. Mo Tianyun, are you ready?”
This was not within the confines of their family; both had shed their unnecessary hypocritical masks, addressing each other by name!
“Humph!” Mo Tianyun let out a cold grunt, his face grim, stepping outside to stand at the doorway, saying indifferently: “Mo Tianyun! As a member of the Mo Family, don’t you know what kind of respect to show when meeting the future patriarch?”
“Future patriarch? You think you’re worthy!” Mo Tianji scoffed, impatiently replying, “Are you ready or not? If you are, hurry and bring Xiao Wu back. I have no interest and no time to waste talking with you!”
Mo Tianyun huffed and said, “My sister, of course, I will rescue! No need for you to urge me!” This was when the experts of the Mo Family received news and rushed over; more and more people were gathering, and Mo Tianyun’s tone became ever more pretentious.
Mo Tianji could hardly resist the urge to kick this handsome face in front of him. This bastard would die if he stops pretending to be righteous…
“Hurry it up!” Mo Tianji smiled gently: “Lan Mei is still waiting outside.”
Upon hearing Lan Mei’s name, Mo Tianyun’s face immediately darkened.
During this time, his lover and son were tightly controlled by Mo Tianji; Mo Tianyun needed Mo Tianji’s approval to even visit them, and every time Lan Mei went on a mission, she had to take Mo Tianji's poison beforehand… she would receive the antidote upon her return, never falling behind.
