19: News about the Tenth Daozi Jun Hongxuan and Jun Chengtian

“Young Master, Tenth Dao Child Jun Hongxuan has arrived.”

Inside the Divine Son Hall, An Luoxin reported respectfully.

Jun Lingxiao, with a helpless expression, pushed away An Luoxin’s pretty face that was pressed against his ear: “You can report, but why do you have to lean so close to my ear?”

An Luoxin giggled, saying that if she didn't, she was afraid he wouldn't hear clearly.

The way she narrowed her beautiful eyes was incredibly enchanting.

But the truth was, he was the one being teased.

He had seen masters taking liberties with their maids, but he had indeed never seen a maid taking liberties with her master.

Yet, An Luoxin was a woman who was serious one moment and mischievous the next, a veritable fox.

As for educating her, he was only five years old now, so he was more or less powerless.

“You just wait for me in the future.”

He said in a feigned menacing tone, then told An Luoxin to call the person in.

Watching An Luoxin's departing back, Jun Lingxiao stroked his chin with his small hand, pondering the scene that would unfold shortly.

“I caused such a stir on the God Tablet Platform, and from what I heard, this Jun Hongxuan is very fond of An Luoxin. But now, not only have I taken his person, I also cut down his subordinate. This enmity is definitely established.”

“So, his coming over now, without a doubt, there is only one possibility.”

Jun Lingxiao sat on the chair, contemplating. In fact, when he acted against that Rong someone, he had already anticipated this scene.

Although the other party was a Dao Child of the Jun Family, in reality, Dao Children were all in competition with each other, not to mention that he had parachuted in and snatched the position of Divine Son.

While they wouldn't dare openly, they definitely held grudges against him in secret.

The other party coming to his door was most likely to seek revenge for his subordinate.

“The other party is a Dao Child, and seems to be sixteen or seventeen, having Cultivated for over ten years longer than me.”

“But…”

“I just happen to have mastered the Heavenly Sword given by the Old Ancestor. Although its power is not enough to absolutely compare to the Old Ancestor, it is definitely enough to deal with you.”

“This is a good opportunity to test how powerful my Heavenly Sword is!”

As Jun Lingxiao thought this, An Luoxin had already led a young man in.

He could clearly see the strange look in Jun Hongxuan’s eyes when he looked at An Luoxin, clearly indicating ill intentions.

“I heard that Your Highness, the Divine Son, at just five years old, broke various Family records and even resonated with the God Tablet. Seeing it today, it is indeed true.”

Jun Hongxuan's voice was clear and slightly childish. He was just as his voice suggested, a spirited young man.

And the other party's voice, at first listen, seemed to carry no hostility, but upon closer inspection, he, Jun Lingxiao, was the Divine Son. If he, a Dao Child, wasn't an idiot, it would be impossible for him to show obvious hostility towards him, the Divine Son.

Thinking this, Jun Lingxiao hadn't even spoken when Jun Hongxuan suddenly looked at An Luoxin, and with a strange expression, continued:

“Your Highness, the Divine Son, I have something to say to you privately. Please…”

Ah, so he was finally revealing his true intentions.

“You may leave.”

Jun Lingxiao turned his head and said to An Luoxin.

Upon hearing this, An Luoxin bowed her head and respectfully acknowledged before directly leaving.

It must be said that, although she was quite mischievous in her daily life, when she seriously acted as a maid, she was quite proper.

“What is it? Speak.” Jun Lingxiao remained in that posture, propping his head up, appearing high and mighty yet with a hint of laziness. He wanted to see what tricks this Jun Hongxuan had up his sleeve.

In Jun Lingxiao's opinion, the next step should be to talk about how he cut down his subordinate, and then the scene of him issuing threats would begin.

But unexpectedly.

Jun Hongxuan first furtively looked up until An Luoxin had walked far away, then tiptoed to Jun Lingxiao, sat down casually, and then suddenly began to exclaim.

And his very first sentence completely stumped Jun Lingxiao.

“Damn it, as expected of the Divine Son, you can really tame this woman!”

“Oh, Divine Son, you probably don’t know how crazy An Luoxin is. Usually, when we gather for martial arts discussions, most of it is just for show, but this woman truly dares to fight. I was even beaten by her before, tsk tsk.”

Jun Hongxuan spoke with a look of awe, and his gaze towards Jun Lingxiao was filled with curiosity, as if asking how he managed to tame this woman.

These two sentences completely bewildered Jun Lingxiao.

Looking at him, how did he not seem like he was here to cause trouble? His face was full of kindness, instead, he seemed to be here to... chat about everyday things?

Or was he just faking it?

“Wait, you’re not jealous?”

Jun Lingxiao asked, somewhat puzzled.

At this, Jun Hongxuan turned his head in confusion: “Jealous? What am I jealous of?”

“Oh, I did think about taking An Luoxin as a follower, but that was when I first met her and didn't know her well. Later, you wouldn't believe how wicked this woman is; she dares to use all sorts of malicious schemes. I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare.”

“Don’t look at her like this; she’s actually more arrogant than I am. Her proud heart can rival the heavens!”

“I thought no one could tame An Luoxin, this arrogant woman. Turns out, the person to tame her hadn't been born yet! Seeing her obediently in the Divine Son’s hands, I almost laughed just now.”

“Luckily, I held it in, otherwise, I would have been tormented by her again.”

As he spoke, a smile appeared at the corner of Jun Hongxuan’s mouth, his eyes filled with both mockery and relief.

Jun Lingxiao clicked his tongue in amazement.

Why was it different from what he expected? Was the villainous Family truly united?

Jun Hongxuan wasn't satisfied with just talking, he even leaned closer to Jun Lingxiao:

“Divine Son, tell me? How did you tame this woman? I’m practically bursting with curiosity!”

At this moment, Jun Hongxuan’s face was full of gossip and a desire to watch a good show. Let alone hostility, there wasn’t even a hint of unfamiliarity.

It was as if the person in front of him wasn't the Divine Son he was meeting for the first time, but a close old friend he hadn't seen in a long time.

Jun Lingxiao was now truly confused whether he was faking it or if this was genuinely his personality.

Following the idea of adapting to circumstances, he then told Jun Hongxuan about what happened after he met An Luoxin.

And Jun Hongxuan, upon hearing it, was so surprised his mouth fell open.

“You mean An Luoxin, this arrogant woman, voluntarily submitted? You didn’t do anything?”

“No, no, that’s also normal. I saw the God Tablet Platform. With those three punches, unprecedented and unrepeatable, even I couldn’t compare. Truly worthy of being the Divine Son.”

He clicked his tongue in wonder, mostly with admiration.

The two also chatted about some other things, and after a few sentences, Jun Lingxiao understood a bit.

This Jun Hongxuan in front of him wasn't faking it at all; he was just an ordinary young man.

According to his words, everyone was from the Jun Family. What's yours is mine, and it's good that An Luoxin stayed in the Jun Family, keeping the wealth within. The Divine Son position wasn't a big deal anyway, and he actually didn't want to contend for it.

He Cultivated only to protect the people around him, and coupled with his special Physique and some talent, he happened to attain the position of Dao Child.

But he had no desire for the Divine Son position, and his words were full of admiration for Jun Lingxiao.

“The Divine Son is truly the honor of our Jun Family. However, you must also be careful of that woman, An Luoxin. She has been intentionally or unintentionally spreading rumors about me and her, probably to facilitate her entry and exit from our Jun Family. But alas, I have a trauma regarding her, so I can only let her be.”

“We’ve talked enough small talk; it’s time to discuss serious matters.”

“Actually, I came to apologize today.”

As he spoke, Jun Hongxuan’s brows furrowed, his face full of apology.

“Rong Junxian, though called my servant, is actually more like my brother. He has served me since childhood, and I’ve always treated him like my own younger brother. And Divine Son, you know that the Ten Paths Dao Children have some power in the Jun Family, so perhaps under my protection, his temperament became a bit arrogant.”

“He’s not bad, just a bit foolishly loyal for my sake.”

“I’ve understood the matter from the beginning; it was his fault. Not to mention, a subordinate who offends a Dao Child is usually sentenced to immediate death. I should also thank the Divine Son for only cutting off one of his arms.”

“I deeply apologize for what happened, and to celebrate your departure from the palace, I specifically sought out a gift.”

As he spoke, Jun Hongxuan took out a token and placed it on the table.

“This is a key to a Forbidden Ground Secret Realm. It will be several years before the Secret Realm opens, and most Prodigies will go there for trials to search for the rumored True Dragon.”

“The value of the token needs no further explanation, but even more important is another thing.”

“It is rumored that your father, the Jun Family’s eternal Prodigy, Jun Chengtian, last appeared in this Secret Realm.”

Jun Hongxuan said with a solemn tone.
