Chapter 281: The Arrival of the Talented Scholars

Translator: Editor:
Several people had been involved in that fight in front of the main hall. The law of the Empire couldn’t hold such a large number of people accountable for anything. There was no other option; the matter was concluded without any action against anyone.

Everyone returned to their original places. The big-shots watched Jun Mo Xie stood up and dusted his backside. They suddenly realized the reason why this commotion had been stirred. To make matters worse… Jun Mo Xie had faced this rain of curses while sitting down…

Everyone was left speechless. There was no bench or stool to sit on, but Jun Mo Xie had seemingly refused to ill-treat his buttocks. Shockingly, there as an individual lying under the buttocks. There was a pig-headed like expression on the youngster’s face, and it seemed as if he was breathing his last breaths. That youngster was the Meng Family's Young Master, Meng Fei… Young Master Jun had taken seat on the youngster’s fallen body. This had instigated the crowd’s anger and had incited the eventual curses.

[No wonder he was cursed like that; the crowd’s sentiments must’ve been instigated by the manner in which he’s swaying his butts…]

[So that’s what happened…]

It was evident from the Young Master Meng’s condition that he would be missing the feast…

“He doesn’t look good; take him to the Imperial Physician!” the patriarch of the Meng Family, Meng Xue Sheng shouted with anger and anxiety. He then turned to face the smiling and unmoving Jun Zhan Tian. “General Jun, your grandson is indeed very ‘promising’…”

“He He… Elder Brother Meng flatters too much. Ha ha, Mo Xie is very young and inexperienced. You shouldn’t spoil him like this!” Grandpa Jun stroked his beard and narrowed his eyes as he expressed his thanks.

Meng Xue Sheng staggered as he heard this; he nearly fell down. The other patriarchs staggered as well. [It is evident that this shamelessness is hereditary…!]

The Jun debauchee had deliberately created a farce in front of the main hall. His compulsion had been very fierce. The sounds that were made were very loud. He had hoodwinked several people into joining that farce that the sounds of their noise had reached inside the main hall. The main hall was hosting serious discussions on military and civil affairs at the time, and this noise had fell upon the ears of the ministers and the Emperor since they certainly weren’t deaf. The intensity of the sounds continued to increase with the passage of time. Soon everyone’s self-restraint gave-way and they were unable to help themselves. Hence, they quickly finished the discussion. These discussions usually lasted for at least two hours. However, today’s discussion concluded in less than an hour.

The discussion had ended prematurely because the mind of every man was focused on the ruckus outside. The youngsters bickering outside were the apple of their eyes. Hence, each man was worried about the well-being of their respective loved ones…

Jun Mo Xie sniggered inside his mind since he felt quite mischievous. [He He, no one in either of my lives could ever surpass me; besides those who are dead... You made me wait in front of the main hall; wouldn’t it be ‘letting you off too easy’ if I didn’t do something?]

There were many hours left for the Golden Scholarly Talent Feast[1] to begin. However, several court eunuchs and palace maids had bustled into greet the guests.

“This, Young Master… What do you think is inside those halls? Do you know?” Tang Yuan asked Jun Mo Xie as his tiny eyes scanned the place. “I just see a bunch of book worms, and some more book worms; they don’t even qualify to be men. Where are those beautiful ladies they talked about? I’m yet to lay my eyes on an eye-candy…”
