Although Jun Yi is not young anymore, his IQ is not very high. The fact that he is easy to deceive is an advantage for him.
Jun Yi was nervous, but suddenly he thought of something. The nervousness on his face faded away instantly, and he smiled. Then he said to Jun Qingyan with a look of relief: "Fortunately, I have met the third daughter of the Hua family. She is a well-educated and well-mannered lady. You are a lucky man, second brother. Otherwise, you would have found an unreasonable sister-in-law, and my future life would be very bleak." What if the sister-in-law doesn't let the second brother associate with him, what if the sister-in-law dislikes him for not having a status in the mansion, what if the sister-in-law doesn't like him...
Oh my god, I get chills down my spine just thinking about it.
"... "
There's no need to ask. Just looking at Jun Yi's unpredictable and confused expression, you can tell that this guy is definitely not up to no good.
However, when mentioning Miss Hua, Jun Qing felt uncomfortable.
Although his engagement with Miss Hua was purposeful, they had been together for a while after all, and people always have feelings for each other. Who could have thought that the Hua family would change so much overnight.
The previous head of the Hua family passed away, and the young lady was not implicated in her father's crimes because she was insane. Instead, she was imprisoned in a courtyard of the Hua family.
Although she is still alive, for her, life is probably worse than death.
Fortunately, she is no longer mentally clear and knows nothing. This is a blessing for her now.
If he has the chance in the future, he will visit Hua's house.
Thinking of this, his hand subconsciously retracted into his sleeve.
A letter asking for help was hidden inside.
He received it, but it was too late to give it back.
He laughed at himself, saying that he was too late was just a self-deception. Even if he was in time, he would never leave the Jun family at this important moment.
His hand slowly retracted, and he secretly used his inner strength. The letter that had not yet been opened turned into powder in an instant, silently melting into the air. It was like the flower palace that was in full bloom a second ago, disappearing into thin air.
Jun Yi, a thick-skinned man, didn't notice Jun Qing's series of subtle movements at all.
The day after Lingxin arrived at Jun Mansion, Ling'er and Xia Junyu also arrived in Junzhou.
The scene of Junzhou is prosperous yet unique.
There were few street vendors, and most of the trading places were shops. It was also different from the bustling Yunhai City, but it was quiet and very quiet.
Although the shops were all open, there were not many customers. Most of them had no one in front of them. Occasionally, there would be a few people coming in and out of one or two shops.
"Mom, this place is so weird." Xia Junyu sat in the carriage, lifted the small curtain on the carriage and looked outside.
No matter how mature he is, he is still a child after all. And this is his first time traveling far away. He is always a little curious about these new things in the outside world.
Being used to the prosperity of Yunhai City, it does seem quite strange to suddenly see such a deserted street.
Ling'er reached out and touched Xia Junyu's head, "Yu'er, you don't know, Junzhou is located in a dangerous place, easy to defend but difficult to attack, and without Junzhou's pass token, people from the outside world can't enter at all. Although Junzhou and the Middle Realm are two major forces, it has its own characteristics. Junzhou is headed by the Jun family. The reason why the Jun family became a secluded family also has a closed meaning." Do not trade with the outside world, and have little contact with the outside world.
"Be self-sufficient, live and die on your own, be independent, and be the only one who is supreme. It is said that this is a sentence that the ancestor who founded the Jun family often said. Later, it was regarded as the ancestral motto by the descendants of the Jun family and is still used today."
Self-sufficient, self-sustaining, independent, and the only one who is supreme. These few simple words reveal a strong sense of loneliness and arrogance. It seems that the ancestor of the Jun family is also a powerful person. This arrogant tone and the attitude of looking down on the world, even if she has never seen this ancestor, but just from what he said, she can feel his thousands of attitudes.
For some reason, that crimson figure suddenly appeared in my mind.
I haven't seen him for a long time. I wonder if he is still as charming as ever.
Thinking of that old friend, a knowing smile appeared on Ling'er's fair face.
"Mother." Suddenly, she felt her arm being shaken twice, and her son's voice rang in her ears. Ling'er's thoughts returned, and her eyes were focused on the little face beside her again.
"Yuer, what's wrong?"
He looked up at his mother's face, and blinked his big, bright eyes. "Mom, have you thought of anything fun? Yu'er saw you smiling."
That smile is different from the fake flattery in front of others. It comes from the heart and is very friendly. That smile makes people feel very warm.
So Xia Junyu guessed that his mother must have thought of some warm memories, which was why she looked like that.
In fact, Xia Junyu was a little worried. Every time Xia Ling'er recalled the past, Xia Junyu's spirit was tense.
No one knew better than him the pain his mother had experienced before.
He really didn't want her to think about that person.
Although Xia Junyu hid his nervousness very well, Xia Ling'er was his mother after all, and his own child. How could he hide his little thoughts from himself
Although she didn't quite understand what this little baby was so nervous about.
Reaching out and touching Xia Junyu's head, "Mother thought of an old friend whom she hadn't seen for a long time. His personality is somewhat similar to that of the ancestor of the Jun family."
After confirming that it had nothing to do with that person, Xia Junyu's mood calmed down a little.
"His name is Jun Liufeng, and he is my mother's good friend in Tianhe Continent."
"Your last name is Jun too."
"Yes, if he were not so young, mother would suspect that he is the ancestor of the Jun family." But his surname is also Jun, I don't know if he is related to this Jun family.
"Mother, you are overthinking. The Tianhe Continent is a million miles away from our Middle Realm. How is it possible? Besides, the ancestors of the Jun family have been dead for a long time. Mother, are you sure you are not telling a horror story?" Xia Junyu said as he put the peeled lychees into his mother's mouth. His technique was skillful and his movements were smooth. It seemed that he did this kind of thing often.
"Hahaha, that's right, my baby is still smart." He opened his mouth without hesitation and ate the lychee that Xia Junyu handed over.
Wow, these lychees are indeed peeled by my own baby, so delicious and sweet.
"In fact, it is still unknown whether the ancestor of the Jun family has passed away." An old voice interrupted the conversation between Ling'er and Xia Junyu.
Yao Lao, who was originally sitting outside driving the carriage, had sat next to Xia Junyu without him noticing when, staring at the lychees that Xia Junyu had just picked up and was about to peel.
Ling'er and the others were no longer surprised by this old medicine man's ability to appear and disappear mysteriously.
He had appeared in the carriage for no apparent reason and stolen food at least ten times.
There's no way. I can't watch it.
Ling'er and Xia Junyu remained calm despite Yao Lao's sudden arrival.
"This is for mom. If grandpa wants to eat it, he can peel it himself."
"..." Yao Lao watched eagerly as he peeled the little hand open and fed it into Xia Ling'er's mouth.
Looking at Xia Ling'er eating with relish, he swallowed unconsciously.
It's like trying out what it tastes like when my precious grandson peeled lychees himself.
Sadly, there is no hope.
"Master Yao, what do you mean when you said that whether the ancestor of the Jun family has passed away is still an unsolved mystery?" The secluded Jun family is a family with a thousand-year heritage in their middle world. Although spiritual cultivators can live longer than ordinary people, they are not immortal.
If the ancestor of the Jun family wanted to be alive, he would be more than a thousand years old. What kind of monster is that
Yao Lao took a sip from the wine flask, then stroked his white beard, "In fact, the three forces in the Middle World were not established at the same time. At the beginning, there was only the Demon World. The Nine Nether Demon Lord founded the Demon World. At that time, this world was not called the Middle World, but the Demon World."
As he spoke, he raised the wine jug and took a sip.
"In order to establish the Demon Realm, the Nine Nether Demon Lord reclaimed all the land in this realm, with the exception of the Sea of Clouds Forest."
Sea of clouds and forest
Isn’t that the foundation on which the Yunhai royal family was established
But since the Nine Nether Demon Lord has already recovered all the land, why is the Cloud Sea Forest an exception
"Not only did the Nine Nether Demon Lord never set foot in the Sea of Clouds Forest, he also issued a ban that no one could enter the Sea of Clouds Forest, and designated the Sea of Clouds Forest as a forbidden area. Until one day, a man named Jun appeared and broke this peace. This man was the ancestor of the Jun family.
No one knew the man's name, but he would carve the word "Jun" wherever he went, and later people named him Jun.
This Jun family ancestor seemed to be sent by the heavens to fight against the Nine Nether Demon Lord. He would take anything that the Nine Nether Demon Lord wanted, whether it was land, ornaments, or people. "
"..." Hearing this, Ling'er couldn't help but want to complain.
This Jun family ancestor is also a weirdo. What kind of hobby is this? Could it be that he has a crush on the Nine Nether Demon Lord and wants to use this method to attract the Demon Lord's attention
Wait a minute, why does this idea seem familiar? It seems like I have been with two people like this before, who were they...
"The Nine Nether Demon Lord was also very strange. It was as if he knew what the Jun Family Patriarch was thinking. He deliberately leaked the news of what he wanted to let the Jun Family Patriarch know so that he could grab it."
"... "I guess the ancestor of the Jun family is not in love with him alone. These two girls are having a lot of fun. It's really interesting.
At this moment, Ling'er's mind has already distorted many stories of gay love. She has also imagined different versions of various plots, and the scenes are really, quite loving.
"But in the end, I discovered that the reason why the Nine Nether Demon Lord spread the news so loudly was to protect what he cared about the most."
"Cloud Forest."
"Cloud Forest."
A man and a woman, one big and one small, said in unison.
Before Yao Lao could finish his words, Xia Junyu and Xia Ling'er spoke up at the same time.
Looking at the mother and son speaking in unison, Yao Lao thought the scene was quite loving.
They are indeed mother and son, equally smart.
"That's right. In fact, the only place that Jiuyou Demon Lord really cares about is Yunhai Forest. The other news he released was just to divert the attention of Jun's ancestors. But in the end, Jun's ancestors still found out."
After being deceived and fooled for so long, the ancestors of the Jun family must be angry.
"He was furious and rushed to Yunhai Forest. But he was stopped by Jiuyou Demon Lord on the way. The two fought and were evenly matched. But at this moment, a passerby attacked Jiuyou Demon Lord."
"... "Who is this passerby? He is so mean. What does it have to do with you if they are fighting? You are just looking for trouble.
"What happened next?"
"I don't know what happened afterwards. I only know that since then, the Nine Nether Demon Lord has been in seclusion to recuperate, and the Jun family has continued to grow in power. The Yunhai Forest has become a faction of its own, and the three families are evenly matched. After a thousand years, a situation of three families competing for power has been formed."
"Later, people speculated that the Nine Nether Demon Lord must have been seriously injured in that battle. Otherwise, he would not have allowed such a situation to happen. After all, the Demon Realm was the leader of this faction at that time."
"Then the Nine Nether Demon Lord disappeared later, what happened?" This question was asked by Xia Junyu. After all, this man was related to his mother's future, so he had to worry about it.
But if the current Nine Nether Demon Lord is the same one from a thousand years ago, then wouldn’t he be an old man
