Mo Qingkuang said nothing, but upon closer inspection, he saw that his hands were shaking slightly.

Having lived for hundreds of years, his self-cultivation was naturally extraordinary. But no matter how well-cultivated he was, it was impossible for him to remain indifferent when a great-great-great-grandson called him a fool in front of him.

It has been hundreds of years, hundreds of years, and he has never been so angry.

Angry, the old ancestor is angry! Mo Gaoyi noticed Mo Qingkuang's trembling hands, and his heart was about to jump out of his chest, fearing that the old ancestor would slap his precious son to death in a rage.

I wanted to say something, but when I saw the old ancestor's eyebrows twitching, I couldn't utter a word.

"You have taught your son well." Mo Qingkuang finally resisted the urge to slap Mo Yanhong to death. He suppressed the anger in his chest, said coldly to Mo Gaoyi, stood up and left.

Mo Gaoli was frightened by Mo Yanhong's "courage" and quickly followed behind Mo Qingkuang. However, before leaving, he still did not forget to bow deeply to Mu Hanyan. However, knowing that the old ancestor was in a very unhappy mood, he did not dare to say anything more.

"Why are you leaving, ancestor? Let me support you." Seeing that Mo Qingkuang was about to leave, Mo Yanhong was too lazy to pay attention to Mu Hanyan and hurriedly went up to support Mo Qingkuang.

"Get out!" Mo Qingkuang tried to endure it, but finally couldn't help it and shouted angrily.

Mo Yanhong was shocked and froze in place, staring at the old ancestor blankly, wondering why he suddenly got angry.

"Are you wondering why I'm angry? Because... I'm out of my mind." Mo Qingkuang said with gritted teeth. He didn't want to talk, but if he didn't vent, he would be so angry.

Even a clay Buddha has some earthy qualities, let alone a human being. Even an old monster that has lived for hundreds of years is still a human being.

"Uh..." Mo Yanhong was completely stunned. What did the ancestor mean when he said that his brain was filled with water? Mo Yanhong vaguely realized that he seemed to have said something wrong.

Mo Qingkuang didn't even look at Mo Gaoyi and Mo Yanhong, father and son. He moved, but disappeared from their sight.

After a long time, everyone heard a long roar coming from the distant mountain. It seemed that the ancestor of the Mo family was very angry.

The room was silent. Although Mo Qingkuang had left, the invisible might seemed to have not disappeared yet. Even Hua Yue and the others had to resist the urge to laugh out loud.

"Dad, what's wrong? Did I say something wrong?" The atmosphere was too weird, and Mo Yanhong couldn't help but ask.

"I'm going to beat you to death, you bastard. I let you talk too much, let you brag, and you think you're stupid. You're the one who's stupid." Mo Gaoyi slapped Mo Yanhong to the ground, then rushed up and started punching and kicking him.

Soon, people heard Mo Yanhong's screams like ghosts and wolves howling.

…

"Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter." Jiang Yuzhe didn't laugh until Mo Gaoyi carried the bruised and battered Mo Yanhong out like a dead dog.

"You're out of your mind! You actually dared to call his ancestor out of his mind! This is treasonous, this is treasonous." Hua Yue, who always had a stern face and acted cool, also smiled and sighed.

Even Zirong, who was depressed because of Yu Qingwan's matter, had a smile on her face.

"It's true that the waves behind push the waves in front, and the waves in front die on the sand. This Mo Yanhong, the young ones are to be feared, the young ones are to be feared." Ji Gaoxian and others also said with a smile.

"I've heard people say that someone is cheating their father before, but I didn't know what it was. Today I finally saw it. I guess Mo Gaoyi's position as the head of the family will be lost after being cheated by his precious son." Jiang Yuzhe said gloatingly.

Mu Hanyan smiled without saying anything. Mu Gaoyi had a good name, but in fact he was despicable, heartless and ungrateful, even forcing his own brothers to death. Although the affairs of the Mo family had nothing to do with her, she still felt a little indignant that such a person had succeeded in his conspiracy and became the head of the Mo family.

"That's not necessarily true." Weng Yixiao shook his head and said, "Although Mo Gaoyi has a bad character, as the head of the family, he still has some ability. The Mo family has been able to maintain its status as one of the eight great families over the years. This is certainly related to the reputation of the Mo family ancestor, but it is also related to Mo Gaoyi's methods.

Over the years, Mo Gaoyi has been in absolute control of the Mo family, and the other members of the Mo family have never had a chance to make a name for themselves. If Mo Gaoyi's position as the head of the family is really abolished, the Mo family will become a group of scattered sand without a leader.

Therefore, no matter how angry the Mo family ancestor is, he will not easily abolish his position as the head of the family."

Mu Hanyan deeply agreed with what Weng Yixiao said. Being the head of a family is not like being a saint. One cannot do it without some scheming and tactics. Given the current situation of the Mo family, Mo Qingkuang would never dethrone Mo Gaoyi from the position of head of the family unless there was a better candidate.

Although it feels a bit regrettable, this is also one of the reasons why the family has been able to survive until now.

"What's more, the capital is about to be in turmoil. The Mu family and the Yan family are at odds, the Qu family is rising again, and the other families such as the Song family, the He family, the Fang family, and the Changsun family are also ready to make a move. The Mo family ranks last among the eight great families in terms of strength. If we are not careful, we may be squeezed out of the list of the eight great families. In this situation, the ancestor of the Mo family will never act rashly." Shen Moce said thoughtfully.

"How do the Mu family rank with the other major families?" Mu Hanyan had lived in Black Stone City for a long time, and had traveled and practiced in her previous life. She didn't know that the eight major families in the capital had such a ranking, so she asked curiously.

"You don't know?" Shen Moce looked at Mu Hanyan strangely. As a member of the Mu family and the grandson of the patriarch, he didn't even know about his own family's affairs?

But soon, he realized that Mu Hanyan had been staying in Black Stone City and had only been back for a few days. It was said that she did not get along with the disciples of the clan. How could she know the inside story of these aristocratic families in the capital?

"According to the last ranking, the eight great families in the capital were Yan, Mu, Qu, Changsun, Song, He, Fang, and Mo. However, the strength of each family has fluctuated over the years. From an outsider's perspective, the Yan and Changsun families are the strongest, followed by the Mu and Qu families, and then the Song, He, Fang, and Mo families.

Of course, this is just speculation from outsiders. We still have to wait until the new rankings come out to know who is stronger and who is weaker. "Shen Moce continued.

Only then did Mu Hanyan realize that the Mu family was not the strongest among the eight aristocratic families, but was ranked third or fourth. The glory of being one of the two major families in the capital was long gone.

"Then how is this ranking determined?" Mu Hanyan asked curiously.

"The eight great families will compete every three hundred years, and several other wealthy families will also participate in the competition. Calculating it, the competition should be held next year. Grandpa Mu must have called you back to the clan for this matter. Why didn't he tell you?" Shen Moce said.
