"Old Song, what's wrong? Have the brat's words roused your anger?" The middle-aged man lifted his wine jug, pouring another cup for himself gracefully. "He is just a young and unchecked scholar saying nonsense. You are somebody with great tolerance, there is no need for you to get angry because of him. He may not recognize how good your wine is, but I do."
"Your Highness may not know, but my proudest achievement I have is this wine, it has been an accumulation of my entire life. As for the rest, they nought but things of the past. Hearing that little brat treat my wine with contempt, all I did was laugh and ignore him!" Old Song stared at the direction Jun Moxie left with a blank and distracted look.
"It is a pity to have just missed him after he had spoken his last sentence. To miss out on meeting a fellow friend who understands wine"
"A fellow friend who understands wine? Pity?" The middle-aged man who was addressed as "Your Highness" was startled.
"Indeed, it is a true pity!" Old Song nodded without hesitation. "To be able to utter such words, he had proven himself as someone who truly understands wine!" He then murmured. "The true act of drinking wine is to drink in one's emotions or thoughts! Just pouring wine into one's belly cannot be considered the act of drinking wine. That is just wasting good wine! One who understands how to drink wine, the meaning of wine tasting and the appreciation of wine. To think that I have missed out on meeting such a fellow friend who understands wine is truly the biggest regret in one's life…"
Glancing around, the bamboo hat that Jun Moxie had left hanging had unknowingly vanished.
Old Song's eyes flickered, the pupils of eyes suddenly flashed with a pale blue color…
Unfortunately, the one addressed as "Your Highness" was looking at him from behind and did not notice this.
Yellow for Earth Rank, Blue for Sky Rank!
This Old Song who was unseemly and seemed to know only how to make wine was actually a Sky Ranked expert! Standing below only the Supreme God rank, Heaven Mystic experts could be considered the pinnacle of power within the Mystic Mystic Continent! Such a distinguished individual was actually staying in such a small and remote wine shop!
Such misfortune, if Jun Moxie had stayed, with his supreme spiritual sense, he could easily have discovered the extreme aspect of Old Song and his love of wine. Unfortunately, Jun Moxie had long since left; without even a shadow to be seen…
After leaving the wine shop, Jun Moxie walked slowly, both his heart and mind gradually becoming clear. He emerged out of the bizarre state that he was in; that state could be considered the representation of the Evil Monarch, Jun Moxie, from the past. The state which held only disdain towards the world! Saying whatever he wished to say, doing whatever he wished to do, not fearing offending others, even if it meant choosing a separate path from tens of thousands of people. Even if his actions would be condemned by millions of others, the original Evil Monarch would proudly continue forward, standing lonesome against the world!
Acting on his own whim, without a single hesitation, uncaring of the feelings of others!
If the world chooses to praise me and lift my reputation to the skies, I would simply accept it while retaining a clear conscience.
If the world chooses to curse me, I would also accept it all the same!
This heretical personality of his was what gave him the name "Evil Monarch"!
After venting his frustration, Jun Moxie who had calmed down would naturally choose to stop the feelings as the "Evil Monarch". He stared at the heavy rain and found that there was nowhere else to go. Since there was nowhere good to go, he turned and headed towards his own home.
As he was about to turn into the corner of a street, Jun Moxie was suddenly startled and slowed down his pace. A low muffled voice came from beyond the corner. An average person would never have heard it in the middle of such a heavy rain! If not for the fact that Jun Moxie's ears were far keener than others, he would have been like the rest.
"We finally succeeded. If it was not for this heavy rain, we would never have this chance to even touch this item from the Tang family. This was blessed by the heavens"
Tang Family? Jun Moxie fell into shock as he immediately thought of Tang Yuan's family. Pondering about this, he moved his body, using the heavy rain as a cover and hid behind a wall with a flash.
The wall was a earthen wall, not high by usual standards and definitely incapable of hiding an entire person. However, it provided an excellent cover within this heavy rain, which was filled with fog; not mentioning that the people in front were not even aware of his existence.
He slowly removed the bamboo hat and was immediately soaked from head to toe in water.This due to the sound produced by the rain hitting the bamboo rain hat differed from the sound produced from rain hitting the earthen wall.
Jun Moxie could not help but be careful. Of course, there was still a fine difference in sound produced from rain hitting the body compared to hitting the earthen wall. However, when compared to the bamboo hat, this difference was far smaller.
Amidst the gasping breaths, roughly six people walked forward with great effort. None of them expected that a person would be around in this heavy rain. One of them who was holding on to a parcel turned around and said. "The plan that was set up for so long, but never was completed. For us to have finally completed it, the master will definitely be overjoyed once he finds out."
Another man replied while gasping. "Although we succeeded, it was not without costs. How unexpected, even though only two of the six elites were around, they still managed to detect our stealthy movements. If it was not for that mysterious person who lured the two remaining experts of the Tang Family away, and also our fourteen brothers who sacrificed their lives to guard our escape, I fear…" After a sigh, he started coughing.
"However, this item is of great importance. There is no room for error. We must hurry up and return this item to the master. We must finish up this matter as soon as possible; only then can we let our guard down. The next few days would certainly be chaotic! Do not delay anymore, be careful of any possible interruptions and move!"
"Indeed, indeed. However, Brother Lang, in order for us to infiltrate the Tang Family earlier, your brother-in-law had helped us. What would happen if the Tang Family found out? I fear that your brother-in-law would be unable to escape…"
"There is no need to fear! By the time they find out about it, us brothers would have collected our rewards and have long left this place for another. I do not believe the Tang family has the capabilities to find us,! As for my brother-in-law, the world is not a small place. I believe he is long gone by now. Like hell, the Tang family is able to catch him! That guy is a slippery one, if you have time to worry about him, you might as well worry more about yourself!"
"Very true."
The six people moved forward in a hurry, each step bringing them closer towards Jun Moxie. Watching from the side, Jun Moxie observed that among the six people, four of them had suffered serious injuries while the injuries suffered by the other two were not light either. As they moved, blood continuously flowed out from them. Two of them were coughing non-stop, each cough resulting in the ground being splattered with the color of crimson. However, the crimson color was immediately washed away by the rainwater.
What exactly did they steal from the Tang Family? Was it really so important? They sent in twenty people, only having six of them escape while the other fourteen died. And the six people who escaped suffered such serious injuries yet they are able to feel so proud of what they had done?
If the Tang Family had obtained something good, would Tang Yuan not show it off first?
Suddenly, the one who seemed to have suffered the most grievous of injuries stopped moving. He coughed out before snapping.
"Who is it? Reveal yourself!"
With a thunderous gaze, he shifted his attention towards Jun Moxie's direction. His body suddenly emitted Mystic Qi colored with the luxurious silver, fully ready to strike at any moment!
The person who was suffering the most grievous injuries was actually a Silver Mystic Qi expert!
Furthermore, he had also managed to detect Jun Moxie's presence!
