Jun Mo Xie shrugged innocently, and a little helplessly. <i>I don’t know... I’m not sure...</i>
<i>What is going on?</i>
This matter has really exceed Young Master Jun’s expectations. That piece of stone was the few fragments of the Spirit Vein that he had knocked off from back when he was with Mei Xue Yan. Most of it had been taken by Mei Xue Yan to increase the strength of Tian Fa Forest...
Jun Mo Xie only had these few tiny pieces on him. The one he had brought out this time was the smallest of them all... Young Master Jun knew that this stone was a coveted item and was enough to shock the entire crowd, but he had never expected that this tiny amount of it had triggered such a huge uproar! This was too stunning!
This brother had only thought of how to start this matter, but he did not think of the process and the oue!
After the initial shock, everyone’s gazes were locked on Jun Mo Xie!
<i>This brat... is really f*cking heaven-defying, ah! To be able to bring out something this great!</i>
“This... Mo Jun Ye, this piece of stone... cough cough... where exactly did you get it from?” The moment Miao Jing Yun said this, everyone’s ears perked up.
<i>Indeed! Since there is a first, there may be a second! If we know roughly where it was picked up from, perhaps that ce still has a third or fourth piece... If there are more surprises, then it’ll really be...</i>
“Um, it was like this. When I was roughly eight years old...” Jun Mo Xie had begin spinning his story, which was his forte. “... there was nothing to eat then. I was awfully hungry, so I went into the mountains looking for some wild fruits to eat... then I suddenly met with andslide which almost buried me alive, it was really unlucky...”
Young Master Jun bbered on vividly. Everyone let out a cry, suddenlying to realization.
No wonder, so it was andslide... I <i>say how could something this good just fall into the hands of thisd...</i>
<i>And he dares to call himself unlucky when he obtained something like this? Is this called unlucky? Why didn’t I met with this sort of bad luck then! </i>All these peak experts had the same thought as they listened to Young Master Jun’s recount.
“... just when I thought I was doomed, suddenly, two pieces of stone smashed right into my head, barely knocking me unconscious...”
Jun Mo Xie rubbed his head, as if the fear from that incident still lingers on his mind. “Then I reached by hand out and removed these two pieces of stones. There was one of them that was slightly smaller, and it was even a little soft to the touch... I was really too hungry then, and this stone was giving off a fragrance, so I swallowed the smaller one. I was really too hungry, how could I care so much...”
Instantly, all the experts hammered at their chests hearing this!
Such a great pity!!!
This really was a cow chewing on a peony ah!
Aplete waste of heavenly goods ah...
“After I ate it, I instantly felt full so I napped. After I woke up, I still did not feel hungry, and the injuries from thendslide all healed. When the stomach is full, the body will have strength and energy so I thought of returning home... I thought, that stone is most likely something good, at least, it can be eaten. So in the future if I’m hungry again, I can use it to replenish my strength... So I carried the other piece... When my master found me and I showed him the stone, he did not recognise what it was. So he only told me to keep it properly... which I did until today.”
Jun Mo Xie gave an embarrassedugh. “I really don’t have anything else I can offer for the Manor Lord’s birthday today... so I brought it out to make do... Um... this thing... is still eptable, right?”
<i>Still eptable, right?</i>
All the experts wanted to faint from this sentence of his!
<i>Not only is it still eptable! It is too eptable!</i>
<i>And you still talk about having nothing suitable to offer... This is not the way to insult others, ah! If this thing is not suitable to be offered... then what else is considered suitable to be offered up in this world?!</i>
At the same time, all of them broke out in cold sweat. <i>F*cking hell, you own this sort of mythical treasure, and you still dared to carry it around and show it off in front of so many people this casually?? </i>Everyone could barely breathe thinking of this.
What a close one!
If someone else had seen this thing before and was coincidentally familiar with it...
Then... we wouldn’t even have our turn.
<i>And to think that this fellow carried it along with him everywhere he goes. Thinking of using it to curb his hunger when there was no food? T-this... did he think he was carrying a huge bun everywhere he does?</i>
Everyone’s minds were in a state of chaos. They rejoiced internally. <i>Thank goodness Tian Xiang has been peaceful for these while... If this brat got hungry.... then the consequences are really unimaginable...</i>
“What... is that mountain called?” Miao Jing Yun represented everyone and asked the question that everyone wanted to ask the most.
“That was a desert mountain, there is no name for it. But I had heard from the local vigers that the mountain is called ‘Mount Everest’...” Jun Mo Xie carefully replied. <i>All you old fogies go ahead and search... Even if you flip this entire world upside down, you will never be able to find Mount Everest...</i>
“Mount Everest...” Everyone let out a long, deep sigh as they secretly etched this bizarre mountain and it’s bizarre name into their minds...
“Seniors, I saw how you guys were... earlier... this... could it be that this stone is really very precious?” Young Master Jun gave a naive expression and acted innocent.
“Precious? This sort of heavenly object... How could it be described with merely ‘precious’?” A Saint Venerable hollered angrily. “And stop calling it stone! This sort of addressment of it is sphemy to it! The little stone you speak of is the legendary Heavenly Jade! Do you know what it is now?”
With this, even those who were confused and unaware of that stone also broke into an uproar!
Heavenly Jade!
To think that it was the Heavenly Jade!
To think that it was that mythical, divine, sacred object! Legends had it that just scraping a bit of its powder was enough to allow one to increase in hundreds of years worth of strength! Eating an entire piece of it allowed one to shatter the void!
Heavenly Jade, ah!!!!!
Instantly, everyone was full of jealousy...
Seeing this sort of situation, Miao Jing Yun angrily red at that Saint Venerable. That Saint Venerable also realized that he had blurted out a secret and couldn’t help but turn red from embarrassment.
“Cough, cough, everyone, please settle down, please listen to what this old man, the host, has to say.” Miao Jing Yun coughed and stretched his hands out to gesture for everyone to settle down. After a while, everyone finally quietened down, but there was still the red flush from the agitation on their faces...
“The gifts today...” Miao Jing Yun subconsciously nced over to the table, only to realize that it was in an extremely clean state. All those treasures and valuable gifts had already turned into garbage...
“Cough cough cough...” Although the gifts had all turned to garbage, Manor Lord was extremely ted. Obtaining the Heavenly Jade, even if all these gifts turned into ashes... he wouldn’t be bothered by it! He coughed a couple more times and said. “This old man likes the gift Mo Jun Ye had offered the most, and it is also the most precious, unique, and meaningful... I believe that everyone will no longer have any arguments?”
All the old fogies nodded their heads. <i>Precious, unique, and meaningful, maybe not. But you liking it? Definitely correct! And... it exceeded the original expectations...</i>
What a joke, if this sort of divine object was unablee in first then... it’ll really be illogical...
“Since everyone else has no objections, then, Mo Jun Ye is the son-inw of the Miao Family, Little Miao’s husband! Today, there are two simultaneous happy events in the family! First, is this old man’s celebration of his 500th birthday! Second, it is the day my granddaughter Xiao Miao found her ideal husband and their engagement date! I invite everyone to drink to your heart’s content and get thoroughly drunk!”
With this statement, the crowd below began to turn lively again.
There were many envious and jealous looks in the eyes of many youngds. <i>Look at him, it really is... sigh, he only gave something he didn’t even know what it was, and he obtained such a beautiful bride... Sigh, it really is infuriating ah... And Old Manor Lord is also really... no matter how precious that gift is, you are just going to sell your granddaughter off like that? Such a beautiful woman is going to be offered to him like that...</i>
Miao Jing Yun had just finished speaking, when Saint Emperor Cao Guo Feng immediately stood up, his face flushed as he announced, “Today is the day my disciple Jun Ye and Young Lady Miao is engaged! And also the 500th birthday of the Great Manor Lord. It is truly a double blessing ah! I, Cao Guo Feng, am also honoured...”
Not only was it an honor, Saint Emperor Cao’s grin was practically reaching his ears... All the experts looked at that lucky Saint Emperor Cao in envy and jealousy. Most of them were feeling irritated, they almost had the massive urge to beat up Saint Emperor Cao. <i>The hell are you getting so gleeful for. Look at how red your old face is from smiling. How irksome for the eyes...</i>
The moment Cao Guo Feng stood out, Bai Qi Feng and the rest also stood right behind him. They were all proud and pleased. They all had a part of this disciple, so naturally they’d be drinking the tea from their future disciple-daughter-inw. Just the thought of it was exhrating.
When Cao Guo Feng was done talking, the Master of Ceremonies leapt out again.
“Right now, may I invite the two newly weds to exchange their token of engagement! To signify the tying of their marriage!” Miao Xiao Miao no longer had that heroic spirit from earlier, she was so bashful that her entire body was practically turning jelly, but her heart was full of happiness and satisfaction...
Madam Miao brought out a wooden sword that waspletely pitch ck and handed it over solemnly. Everyone present eximed in surprise. The origins of this wooden sword were not ordinary. It was made from the wood that has naturally fallen off from the Rainbow Holy Tree. Carrying it had the magical effects of achieving a clear and tranquil state of mind as well as protection against all sorts of evil! It was considered a treasure that was extremely difficult to obtain.
When it was Jun Mo Xie’s turn, Young Master Jun was in trouble.
He had just given that stone away as a birthday gift just now. If he brought another one out at a time like this, wouldn’t it cause a riot?
