    “We refuse to ept it! The entire Misty Illusory Manor shouldn’t revolve around you alone! No! Even if you are the Free and Natural Physique!” Zhan Yu Shu articted the pros and cons of the situation. He had a calm look on his face and none of that previous anger. It was enough to tell that all that agitated scolding he did was an intentional act.


    He not only distinctively pointed out the crux of the conflict between everyone and Jun Mo Xie, he, in a very subtle manner, was slowly... and furtively provoking everyone’s mood!


    He had to provoke the resentment and indignation in the hearts of all these Young Masters, maximize it, then gather all that strength to collectively make things difficult! The strength of only one person, or one family alone, may not be enough to shake the position of the Free and Natural Physique, but all the descendants of the big families in the Misty Illusory Manor were practically gathered here. Were the higher ups of the Misty Illusory Manor going to offend all these future pirs for the sake of one person alone?


    “Some of us advance at divine speeds for our Xuan Qi cultivation; some are full of stratagems and great foresight, capable of finding opportunities and devising strategies to win battles thousands of miles away! Some are unmatched in our mastery of music! Some are excellent at the art of calctions! Some are a talent at chess, never losing a single match! Some are proficient in the art of speaking, capable ofing up with poems! Some are good at drawing and painting, some are good at managing, and some excel at battling...”


    Zhan Yu Shu spoke faster in his speech, his expression also looking greatly agitated. The entire lodge wentpletely silent, only he was speaking. Everyone’s eyes were focused on him. All their faces turned red, and their breathing became ragged as they listened along.


    <i>Finally...</i>


    Zhan Yu Shu loudly yelled. “All numerous talents; which one of them is not outstanding?! Which one was not working conscientiously in hopes that their seniors in their own family would think highly of them! So that they could get that duty that they’ve longed for so long, or some benefits that were not worth a single thing in the eyes of real, important figures!


    “On what basis?! That upon your arrival, with no hard work or effort, you were able to just take all of these things that we’ve pinned for ages for so easily?! When those things are to be naturally delivered and offered into your hands?! You only need to enjoy it without putting any hard work in! What rights do you have?!


    “Everyone! Tell me! Are you guys willing to ept this? Are you able to ept this?!” Zhan Yu Shu questioned the crowd loudly.


    “We refuse to ept it! We are unwilling to ept it!” Everyone chorused immediately!


    Loud and clear!


    Right now, Zhan Yu Shu’s face was no longer as calm as when he started out. He was shouting himself hoarse, and his eyes werepletely red.


    But Jun Mo Xie could see through it clearly. This scoundrel waspletely pretending it!


    Perhaps all these people he mentioned were scheming for some sort of benefits or duties. But it definitely wasn’t some ‘some benefits that were not worth a single thing in the eyes of real, important figures’ as Zhan Yu Shu had put it. With their status and position, why would they desire some minor benefits?


    But Zhan Yu Shu’s ‘liberal speech’ was able to provoke all the anger that these people had at a massive scale! Slowly expanding all the minor resentments these people had, and making it manifest outward into full andplete hatred!


    Through this speech, hepletely pushed Jun Mo Xie into the opposing position of everyone, making him the target of all their attacks!


    Even if he had the Free and Natural Physique, if he really got excluded by all of them collectively, in the future, he would only be able to silently cultivate to pass the days and be a loner!


    Zhan Yu Shu’s speech and shrewdness was extremely marvelous, but his efforts were bound to fail. Because he had forgotten to calcte one thing—a very important thing!


    The prerequisite for his sess was that this Mo Jun Ye with the Free and Natural Physique only had one pure identity.


    But Jun Mo Xie didn’t give a rat about them. With Young Master Jun’s cultivation, he could easily make all of these young talents and future pirs perish with a lift of his hands. Why would he even be bothered by them? If an ant yelled at a dinosaur, provoking and challenging him, would the dinosaur ept it? Would he be afraid?


    <i>Besides, after I obtain my goal of the Seven Colored Holy Fruit, naturally I’ll immediately retreat and escape out of Misty Illusory Manor. Why would I stay here for long? What so-called resources will I be vying for? How ridiculous and preposterous!</i>


    <i>After this older brother gets out and removes his disguise, I am Jun Mo Xie! The Evil Monarch!</i>


    <i>As to all you little scoundrels vying and being jealous... do whatever you want! This Young Master really is not interested to bother with you. If not for my own ultimate goal, why would this Master be interested in humoring all of you here?! How big of a deal are you supposed to be??</i>


    Jun Mo Xie continued to smile, not a single change or falter in his expression. He calmly looked at the youths around him, noting that all of them had been so provoked that their eyes were red. Some of them were even trembling, clearly extremely agitated. The look they were giving Jun Mo Xie was as if fire was going to shoot out from their eyes!


    The most agitated few people were not donned in extravagant clothing; there were two who looked obviously in, and even their robes were slightly old and tattered. Clearly, their family was not very well off.


    Jun Mo Xie could tell from one look that it would be these children of the poorer families that would bepeting with him! Only they were the ones who had truly forked out everything for the sake of the chance to gain the approval of the Misty Illusory Manor. Which was why they were this resentful and furious at the sudden arrival of the ‘Free and Natural Physique’ who had snatched ‘all these resources that originally belonged to them’! And was unable to ept it...


    Jun Mo Xie couldn’t help but feel a sense of pity for them. T <i>his bunch of fools! Did you really think that even without me, you’d be able to obtain what you wish for? You must know that this world is never fair! If anyone is dreaming of finding fairness and justice in this world, that person is the most pitiful fool!</i>


    <i>Those who are the most unfair to you are these people who are waiting to watch a show despite wearing a look of anger on their faces! You are to be their tools when they need it, but when they are done, what will you guys count as?</i>


    Their ancestors and seniors umted their sess with all their hard work, and they instantly received everything right before their eyes. Saying that Mo Jun Ye did not put in any effort and was reaping all the benefits with his physique alone, what made all these descendants of influential family any different? Weren’t they leeching off the care and providence of their seniors? Wasn’t this another form of reaping without sowing?


    So who was more shameless here?! If these children of poorer families wanted to hate on Mo Jun Ye, why didn’t they turn around to hate all those wealthy young masters! Who was the one truly being shameless here!


    A schr or official from a poor and humble background could be a county magistrate, a beadle, but as long as they were not one of the outstanding founding ministers of the country, how rare was it for them to be recorded in the history books as loyal officials and members of the court?


    The family background...


    That was a massive umtion over generations and generations...


    A person with no background could work hard his entire life; he may be able to climb to the level of a county official. If his son waspetent and continued using all the connections his father had left behind, continuing to work hard for his entire life, perhaps he would be able to bring it to a higher level—an official of a prefecture. If the grandson was alsopetent and worked hard, with the foundations that his grandfather and father left behind, perhaps he could be a province inspector or general...


    This was also on the condition that they were fortunate and everything went smoothly...


    If there were great grandsons, then they’d have the opportunity to enter the imperial court and stand above themon people... When that time came, were they still the descendants of the poor families?


    Or perhaps, from the moment the grandfather became a county official, they were no longer that!


    There was not a physical form of inheritance, but a realistic one! This sort of social system would never change!


    The father was a hero, and the son was a good man. This was a saying that spoke of the truth! But there was a precondition! If you want your son to be a good man in the future, then you must first be a hero!


    So all these descendants of these poorer families that had all gathered here, allowing themselves to be used by Zhan Yu Shu, were simply here out of their own will! When this matter was over, if the Free and Natural Physique was really oppressed as they wished, who else would remember all these people that had battled with the Free and Natural Physique?


    To Zhan Yu Shu and the rest, that was a waste of brain cells ah. If they were unhappy, or if there was a need to bear the responsibility of the ‘death of the Free and Natural Physique’, weren’t these people the best scapegoats?...


    Even if there was no need for scapegoats, even if they reward these people with some items because they were feeling pleased, those are not the real ‘benefits’ and not worth a single thing in the eyes of the real, important figures’! It was like someone who was having a meal in a restaurant, tossing a bone that they wouldn’t eat to a stray dog!


    Something like this, as the highly honored Free and Natural Physique, the Misty Illusory Manor’s darling, Mo Jun Ye, why would he care for something like that? That was trash that was worse than trash ah...


    But even then, even a bone like this was a rare opportunity to these people!


    So dealing with Jun Mo Xie was merely Zhan Yu Shu and the rest refusing to ept things, but still concerned the future of all these people!


    So even though they had no feuds with him, they still stood on the opposite side of the darling of the Misty Illusory Manor with no second thoughts!


    And these rich Young Masters of influential families were well versed in the art of maniption—they had mastered it from young. How to make others pay loyalty to you, work for you, how to use others as your swords and weapons... How to use the smallest efforts to obtain the greatest benefits... Even hidingpletely behind the curtains, manipting and toying with everything like it was a game...


    Let others go and fight till their heads bleed! Let them fight till their death! These young masters would just calmly sit out of the situation, even if the mes reached the heavens, none of it would be able to touch them...


    Jun Mo Xie sighed in his heart.


    Lamenting for these people and for theck of choices in the ways of the words!


    Zhan Yu Shu was still continuing his speech, and everyone’s emotions were fanned to a peak of agitation, as if they were mountains of active volcanoes, ready to explode anytime...
