Mo Junyu looked at Mo Junyang speechlessly. Could he be like a true man as he aggressively expected the world to be in turbulence?

He took a deep breath and decided to ignore what Mo Junyang said, telling him his purpose. “I just want to tell you that now, after one thousand years, there are rumors about a colorful phenix showing up.

Do you know what it means?”

“What does it mean?” Mo Junyang smiled playfully. “Does it mean that the mascot can finally be changed?”

The mascot Holy Monarch Zhou might be speechless.

Mo Junyu goggled and showed his strong resentment. “I am not joking with you. The colorful phenix shows up in the world and everyone will fight for it. The Qin Continent might be chaotic again.”

Mo Junyang shrugged and asked about the key point. “So where is the honored colorful phenix as you mentioned?”

“Not long ago, somebody hunted a colorful phenix in the eastern wasteland. The one who got it secretly told my father that he was willing to give it to him. But in less than half a month, the news spread, and the three countries revealed that they would come to visit and celebrate my father’s birthday, their purpose is obvious.”

Mo Junyu frowned and was worried about the mascot that he hadn’t seen, that honorable phenix. “Our country has only two generations till now and doesn’t have a solid foundation or the ability to rule the Qin Continent.

This phenix will absolutely cause our country huge trouble. It’s a disaster, not fortune, so I advised my father not to accept the gift from the eastern wasteland, and it’s best to send this phenix to the Holy Palace.”

Mo Junyang raised his brows and looked at Mo Junyu, with admiration in his eyes. He thought that he didn’t choose a wrong person. Under the great temptation, Mo Junyu could think calmly and choose the safest way to protect himself. Although he was coward, it was an essential quality to be a wise emperor.

“What did His Majesty say?”

Mo Junyu’s eyes were cold and his voice was bitter. “When my father heard the two words, colorful phenix, he lost his mind. How could he listen to my advice? Maybe he is dreaming about controlling the Qin Continent.”

Mo Junyang was not surprised at Mo Xiangbin’s reaction. He pondered for a minute and then asked, “Has the so-called colorful phenix been sent to the capital city?”

Mo Junyu shook his head and answered tiredly, “My father also knows that if he has the colorful phenix now, the three countries would attack us at the same time, so he didn’t urgently let the people from the eastern wasteland send it to the capital city. Probably he wants to tell somebody to bring the phenix secretly after seeing the envoys from the three countries off when his birthday party is over.”

While speaking, he gazed at Mo Junyang seriously. “Junyang, I need you to help me deal with the envoys from the three countries and prevent them from making trouble in the capital city. Can you?”

“Deal with them?” Mo Junyang laughed and then asked lazily, “Do you want me to kill all the envoys on the way?”

Mo Junyu put on a long face and goggled, responding crossly. “Of course not! I am not kidding. Be serious!”

When he spoke the last two words, he raised his voice, trying to catch Mo Junyang’s attention, but he scared Shi Qingxue a lot.

Shi Qingxue trembled and moved closer to Mo Junyang. She stared at Mo Junyu with a weird expression, as if looking at a madman.

“Don’t be afraid. I am here.” Mo Junyang’s voice was soft, and he patted the back of Shi Qingxue’s hand to comfort her. At the same time, he glanced at Mo Junyu coldly, warning him obviously.

Then he refused indifferently. “I am not free. Please ask somebody else.”

The crown prince was depressed and expressed helplessly, “I didn’t want you to look after them. My father has told me, Junjiu and Junhao to entertain the envoys. I am just worried that they would do something intentionally when they are in the capital city. I need you to give me a hand.”

In this aspect, Mo Junyu admitted that he was not as sharp-witted as Mo Junyang, so he asked for help sincerely.

Mo Junyang didn’t refuse him immediately and kept silent, lost in thought for a long time.

Then Shi Qingxue yawned, with tired tears in the corners of her eyes. He reached out to wipe her tears and smiled. “I will arrange it.”

He thought for a while and then added, “I will tell Wei Zichao to enter the palace. You bring him with you these days.”

Mo Junyu opened his mouth in shock. Wei Zichao could defeat the No. 1 warrior and had excellent martial skills. Mo Junyang did that because he was worried about Mo Junyu’s safety and let Wei Zichao protect him.

While thinking, Mo Junyu had complex feelings. He was happy and a sense of shame beyond expression came into his mind again, so he didn’t even dare to meet Mo Junyang’s eyes. He had to say, “Thanks.”

Mo Junyang seemed not to notice Mo Junyu’s unusual expression and nodded, standing up. “I am off now.”

Afterward, he took Shi Qingxue out of the East Palace.

Mo Junyu looked at them in the distance. He saw that Mo Junyang held Shi Qingxue’s hand all the way, like treating a delicate porcelain doll, gently and carefully. His eyes fell on Shi Qingxue all the time, and it appeared that he was afraid that he would make her suffer injustice if he was careless.

He treated her so devoutly and considerately.

Mo You stepped forward and stated all of a sudden, “His Excellency dotes on Lady Qingxue so much. No matter how much the others love her, they are not enough in comparison with him.”

Not everybody could be as powerful as Mo Junyang and could protect their loved ones exhaustively.

“Shi Qingxue is so lucky!” Mo Junyu said casually, with envy and loneliness in his tone.

Of course it was not that the crown prince had some improper feelings for Mo Junyang, but anybody hoped that the one they trusted could give them wholehearted concern and loyalty.

The envy had nothing to do with love.

However, Mo You frowned. “But in this way, all people know that His Excellency loves Lady Qingxue. Wouldn’t she be a target?”

Mo Junyu sneered and patted Mo You’s shoulder, asking, “Who do you think dares to offend Shi Qingxue at the cost of life after Zhao Ming and Qin Shirong’s cases?”

Unless they were desperate, nobody would want to provoke Mo Junyang with Shi Qingxue.

Mo Junyang was so powerful.

“You are right…” Mo You still thought there was something wrong, but when he started to speak, he suddenly found that it was great that Mo Junyang had a weakness, Shi Qingxue. Anybody with a weakness could be controlled more easily. As long as they won over Shi Qingxue, although she was a fool knowing nothing, would they need to worry that they couldn’t control Mo Junyang?

“Your Highness, shall we tell our people in the Shi Family…”

Before Mo You finished his words, Mo Junyu interrupted him coldly. “No need. Junyang and I don’t need to pretend in front of each other.”

Mo You didn’t know why Mo Junyu changed his mind all of a sudden and frowned, advising him, “Your Highness, His Excellency is hard to control with his wild nature. I am afraid…”

“You don’t understand! Junyang…” Mo Junyu couldn’t find a good reason to convince Mo You and wrinkled his brows tightly. At last, he just made a conclusion forcefully. “Anyway, tell the three spies in the Shi Family to retreat. Handle them thoroughly and don’t let others find it. Do you understand?”

Mo You was clear about the meaning of handling them thoroughly. He felt sad for his trusted followers he had trained with effort. But seeing that Mo Junyu was determined, he had to agree. “I will do it at once.”

On the other side, Mo Junyang took Shi Qingxue out of the imperial palace unhurriedly. As soon as they got in the carriage, a note came in from the window. Qu Yuebai read it first and frowned. Noticing that Mo Junyang looked at him, Qu Yuebai instantly gave the note to him. “Junyang, read it.”

Mo Junyang scanned it randomly and then held it in his hand. The note turned into ashes soon.

“Wow!” Before Qu Yuebai said something, Shi Qingxue shouted in surprise and stared at Mo Junyang.

Mo Junyang smiled with love and kissed Qingxue’s brows, coaxing her. “There is no paper here. After we go home, I will perform for you, okay?”

Shi Qingxue touched her warm forehead and was distracted, so she didn’t insist asking Mo Junyang to “do magic tricks”.

She lazily rested her head on Mo Junyang’s knees. Perhaps she was still weak after getting conscious, so she fell asleep soon.

“Junyang, it’s not that simple. Are you going to let it go and do nothing?” Qu Yuebai tried his best not to jump off the carriage and reminded in a low voice.

Mo Junyang smiled. “Didn’t he tell them to retreat? What’s more, Qingxue is not in Duke Shi’s mansion now. Even if they arrange somebody in the Shi Family, they can’t do anything. Why are you so nervous?”

Qu Yuebai was not as generous as Mo Junyang. “Let’s forget what happened in the past. This time, the Shi Family came to our mansion to make trouble, and it might have something to do with him.

If you continue to indulge him, aren’t you afraid that he will stab you in the back someday?”

Compared with the interest, the good relationship was fragile. Especially that man hoped to get more but was willing to give less.

The superior was used to the subordinates’ loyalty and support, and gradually he would forget that loyalty and others’ effort didn’t belong to him deservedly.

“Don’t worry!” Since Qu Yuebai still wanted to advise, Mo Junyang laughed. “Yuebai, do you think I will be unmoved after being bullied?”

Qu Yuebai was stunned.

Mo Junyang looked serious and coldness flashed in his eyes. He continued nonchalantly, “He behaves just like a clown. Ignore him.”

“You…” Qu Yuebai frowned and asked tentatively, “Were you prepared?”

“Of course. I won’t teach a disciple but starve myself.” Mo Junyang smiled slyly and confidently.

Knowing that Mo Junyang wouldn’t allow anybody to harm him, Qu Yuebai felt relieved and didn’t ask about his arrangement. He absolutely trusted his master that he had chosen. Then he changed the subject. “When you were in the East Palace, a servant from the mansion reported that Duke Shi came to ask for Shi Qingxue. I told somebody to let him go back.”

“…The news spread so soon!” Mo Junyang looked gloomy, and nobody could read his mind.

Qu Yuebai didn’t plan to ponder on it and just nodded. “Maybe as soon as you took Shi Qingxue out of the mansion, the message was sent to Duke Shi’s mansion.

But it is surprising that Duke Shi came alone this time, and the messenger said he was nice. Even though you didn’t see him, he didn’t lose his temper. After being refused, he just left in low spirits and didn’t pester them…”

He was different from the majestic general in command of the Shi Army they had seen last time, and he left directly after being rejected, without insisting even for a while. It was hard to believe that he was determined to take his daughter back home.

Mo Junyang lowered his head and thought for a minute. His tone softened and he explained casually, “He knew that I wouldn’t give Qingxue back to him. Why would he insist?”

“Then why did he come? To show his existence?”

“Ha!” Mo Junyang laughed and couldn’t help but caress Qingxue’s fair-skinned cheek, replying slowly, “Qingxue has a good father.”
