Jun Wuyi silently regarded him, then suddenly smiled out. His eyes exhibited a heavy sense of surprise. “Moxie, your performance today had genuinely shocked your Third Uncle.”
Jun Xie brushed his nose as he laughed. “What are your thoughts, uncle?”
Jun Xie did not specify his question, but Jun Wuyi understood what he meant. “Originally, I had intended to nit-pick at you. However, I truly could not find any faults to point out! If our kingdom’s military forces can undergo this kind of training, how can they not sweep uncontested across the world?”
“Sweep uncontested throughout the world…” A dark line appeared on Jun Xie’s forehead. “Third Uncle is exaggerating. It is only that my starting concept is different from yours. The reason you train your soldiers is for the sake of Tianxiang Kingdom, however, the reason I train these soldiers is for the sake of our Jun Family! I am training them to ensure the safety of our family. When taking this into consideration, one can see a critical difference!”
“For the sake of the Kingdom? For the sake of our Jun Family?” Jun Wuyi was originally a great general who was highly loyal to the kingdom. But, after having suffered such a tragedy and forced to idle away at home for ten years, this thought had slowly faded away. He could see that the Jun Family had rendered a great number of meritorious services to the country after suffering through innumerable hardships. However, both his brothers and nephews were killed in battle. As for himself, he was paralyzed for life. If these had happened on the battlefield and their enemies openly defeated them, then Jun Wuyi would have no complaints. But, everything that had happened to them occurred under suspicious circumstances, and yet the kingdom remained indifferent…
His father, Jun Zhan Tian had constantly tried to investigate this matter. Several times he had managed to find some clues regarding the matter, but was suddenly cut off from any further information. There was no way that these occurrences were not caused by someone. Yet again, the kingdom remained apathetic to these occurrences, causing Jun Wuyi to become detached.
If this was ten years ago, if this was the hot-blooded Jun Wuyi from back then, hearing someone say that training soldiers was for the sake of their own family instead of for the sake of the kingdom, he would have jumped out to catch the culprit, accusing him to being a criminal, a traitor to the kingdom! But, the Jun Wuyi of today no longer have that kind of perspective. Instead, he was at a complete loss.
Was it worth it? Was it truly worth it?
“Our Jun Family is a great pillar which many had set their sights on, and is currently standing upon a precarious position. The Kingdom on the other hand is filled with tumultuous undercurrents. Under these circumstances, our Jun Family could face an insoluble calamity at any moment! If it was not for this, is there really anything bad about being an unaccomplished freeloader waiting for death’s call?” Jun Xie sighed.
“This is the reason why you finally decided to reveal your true self?” Jun Wuyi stared quietly at Jun Xie with falcon-like eyes. “Are you saying that if our family was not forced to these kinds of straits, then you would have continued messing around as a debauchee? I find it hard to believe that someone as young as you can possess this profound level of insight.”
