Chapter 171 - You're lucky I'm not killing you

Guan Qing Bo couldn't help wondering, This guy is so naïve.... he's just revealed his true colors in three words!

"We've also heard about the Spirit Fog Lake." Guan Qing Bo smiled and said: "In fact, we've spent almost one-and-a-half days of our two in the Tian Xiang city there itself."

"Ah? The brothers have good taste, ah, ha ha ha, I guess I'm not alone in this world." Jun Mo Xie's face blossomed, almost as if he had just run into his soul-mates: "So? What was it? Girls? Boys? Or both? Gee... he he...."

Guan Qing Bo's face reflected a slight trace of embarrassment as he said: "Not at all... we were actually there on a business trip....."

"Brother!" Guan Qing Bo was in the middle of his sentence when his younger brother interjected, and passed him a warning-like glance.

Guan Qing Bo laughed in a free and easy manner: "Ha ha, Qing Yue, a man must always be upright and honest about his ways, and must never hide it from the world; there's nothing shameful about this. Moreover, third young master is practically a part of our family, and therefore we can discuss any matter with him without worry."

Jun Mo Xie nodded in agreement: "That's right." Although he was a bit confused: Could it be that these two brothers don't get along very well? Guan Qing Bo is practically trying to expose his own brother against his younger's wishes.... What's going on?

"It's rather obvious third young master; my younger brother's confidant resides in Spirit Fog Lake, ah, this was the purpose of our...... business trip" Guan Qing Bo cleverly used the word 'Business' for the activities and services that a woman provides in a brothel......what are you? A flesh trader?

"That's just what I thought." Jun Mo Xie suddenly realized: "The second brother is indeed a very romantic man, ha ha..... but then that's just in our nature ah."

Jun Mo Xie's mind was finally putting together the cause and effect, and he could finally tell why the timing of the assassination attempt was so precise even though the common-folk weren't normally aware of his whereabouts since his activities were regarded as a 'Jun family secret'. The traitor is sitting right here in our midst!

But such a traitor can be very hard to guard against!

There was no doubt about the identity of Guan Qing Yue's confidant.... It was obviously Lady Yue'er! He had obviously revealed Jun Mo Xie's whereabouts to her, which had consequently led to an attempt on his life!

As for Guan Qing Yue... he wasn't directly involved in this matter.....

Jun Mo Xie was confident about that!

Else he wouldn't have appeared so shocked and frightened upon seeing Jun Mo Xie safe and healthy.

Damn it! We received you in kind and treat you as family, and then you just turn around and run your little mouth to that whore? Jun Mo Xie silently cursed within his heart, aware that this wasn't the right time for his revenge. In fact, it was rather obvious from Guan Qing Bo's body language that the man was completely unaware of his young brother's personal actions. Moreover, even his own father along with the rest of his family also seemed to be in the dark in regard with this matter, else they wouldn't have dared to attend this banquet at this time.

Youngsters can be very impulsive. If a beautiful woman begs and pleads a young man for a favor, the man is likely to promise without even bothering about his own family. Although such men are often unable to understand the gravity of the consequences of their actions! The ignorant is fearless! Jun Mo Xie sighed.
