But unfortunately, only he himself knew whether he had any ulterior motives or not. The Mo family member and his men traveled around for a whole year, but there was still no news.
Of course, Mo Gaoli could guess Mo Gaoyi's sinister intentions and knew that his grandson was probably no longer alive. This time, finding a few astrologers was his last straw.
"Brother Gao Li, based on our past friendship, we should help you with this, but we really can't do anything." Seeing the tears in Mo Gaoli's eyes, Ji Gaoxian and others were secretly moved and felt sympathy, but after thinking about it, they still declined.
Firstly, they didn't want to get involved in the Mo family's affairs. Secondly, it had been a year since the incident, and they weren't sure they could help him. If they made a promise lightly, they could easily ruin their reputation.
To be honest, they felt that Mu Hanyan was the most suitable person to handle this matter. They had witnessed his astrological skills firsthand, and they knew that they were far superior to their own. However, they all knew that Mu Hanyan and Mo Yanhong were not on good terms, and the Mo and Mu families didn't seem to be on good terms either. So, if Mu Hanyan didn't take the initiative, they naturally wouldn't cause him any trouble.
"Masters, please consider it as me, Mo Gaoyi, asking you to help my cousin." Hearing Ji Gaoxian and the others' refusal, Mu Gaoyi was overjoyed, but he still pretended to be sincere and pleaded for Mo Gaoli. However, he called Mo Gaoli "clan brother", which clearly meant that they had severed all ties and no longer had any brotherly feelings.
The hypocrisy on that face made Mu Hanyan feel nauseous.
"Master Mo, it's useless to beg us. It's not that we don't want to help you, but we are simply not skilled enough and can't do it." Ji Gaoxian and the others looked at him with such eyesight that they couldn't see the hypocrisy on Mo Gaoyi's face. They knew that he didn't want Mo Gaoli's grandson to return to the clan family at all, so they firmly refused.
Seeing how determined they were, Mo Gaoli's face was miserable and his eyes were full of despair, while Mo Gaoyi showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth.
He was still thinking about waiting a hundred years before letting his beloved son take the position of the head of the family. How could he let other people mess things up, not to mention that the man was Mo Gaoli's grandson.
Although outsiders regarded Mo Yanhong as a fool, he doted on his son, a son born in his old age. In his opinion, even if his precious son was a bit useless, his mind was cunning and his methods were cruel, but he had a lot of the style of his youth. With the right care, he might become a piece of beautiful jade.
"Chen Moce, Pu Tiandi, Weng Yixiao, Ji Gaoxian, if he can't beg you, then what about me begging you?" At this moment, another old man among the three Mo Gaoli spoke.
Even Mo Gaoyi had to respectfully address several people as masters, but this old man just called them by their names, and his tone was full of arrogance.
Mu Hanyan was slightly startled and looked intently at the old man.
The old man was dressed simply and had a calm expression. At first glance, Mu Hanyan thought he was the old butler beside Mo Gaoyi, similar to Yun Bo beside her grandfather. But when she looked closely, she found that the old man's strength was unfathomable. It would have been fine if he didn't speak, but as soon as he spoke, a sense of righteousness emanated from his body.
Even though he was a little shorter than Mo Gaoyi, when he looked up, he looked like a towering peak, even Mo Gaoyi was pressed down by him.
“This old gentleman is…” Shen Moce and the others also noticed this, and did not dare to get angry, so they asked respectfully.
"Don't be so arrogant!" the old man said lightly, but when they heard his name, everyone present stood in awe. Even Mu Hanyan, who was full of pride in her bones, was shocked and admired.
Mo Qingkuang, a super strong man who has been famous in the Holy Court Continent hundreds of years ago, is the real pillar of the Mo family!
Three hundred years ago, the Mo family had a feud with the Song family, also one of the Eight Great Families, and was besieged by a combined force of the Song family, the He family, and the Fang family. Any other family, even the Mu family, would have been severely damaged or even eradicated in the face of such a powerful enemy.
However, Mo Qingkuang alone injured eight masters from the three great families of Song and He, ultimately forcing the three families to retreat and finally make peace with the Mo family. Mo Qingkuang became famous in this battle, and the Mo family's position as one of the eight great families was further consolidated, surpassing the three families of Song and He.
His reputation is no less than that of Xia Youchen, the Beast Taming Sword Saint from a thousand years ago.
Mo Qingkuang was indifferent by nature and spent most of his time in seclusion practicing Buddhism. Up to now, he had not appeared in public for at least a hundred years, so many people speculated that he had died of old age and passed away in some beautiful place with beautiful mountains and rivers.
However, as long as this rumor is not confirmed, no one dares to underestimate the Mo family, nor dares to completely break off relations with the Mo family.
No wonder Mo Gaoli finally found several masters of divination. It turned out that it was not because he had a change of heart, nor was it because he was under pressure from the elders, but because Mo Qingkuang, the ancestor of the Mo family, had returned.
"Since Senior Mo has spoken, it is our honor. How dare we refuse?" Ji Gaoxian and Shen Moce said respectfully, but their expressions were extremely bitter.
Mo Qingkuang spoke up. They didn't have to worry about Mo Gaoyi making things difficult for them afterwards, but Mo Gaoli's grandson had been missing for a year. How could they have predicted it?
But Mo Qingkuang was too famous, and the key point was that he had a past relationship with their great-grandmaster, so he was the elder of their elders. They simply couldn't refuse him. Even if they didn't care about the reputation, they had no choice but to give it a try.
Thinking of this, several people couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
"Senior Mo, we are not very skilled in the art, so please forgive us if our calculations are not accurate." Pu Tiandi bowed to Mo Qingkuang and said.
"Masters, don't worry too much. Just do your best." Mo Gaoyi said as he gave Pu Tiandi and the others a look that could only be understood but not expressed in words.
He didn't want to find Mo Gaoli's grandson in the first place. Seeing that the astrology masters were lacking in confidence and were obviously unsure, he felt relieved and the smile on his face became much brighter. However, just in case, he still gave a few people a look. He believed that with the masters' keen minds, they would definitely understand the meaning of his eyes.
Mu Hanyan also saw his eyes and felt even more disgusted.
There are countless people in aristocratic families who fight to the death for the position of patriarch, and it is not uncommon for brothers to become enemies, but there are not many people as despicable and insidious as Mo Gaoyi.
It would be fine if he used despicable means to seize the position of the head of the family, and it would be fine if he sent someone else's family to a remote and barbaric place, but now he is not even willing to let go of other people's descendants. It is obvious that he wants to wipe out other people's descendants. Those are the descendants of his Mo family and his own brother, but he can do such a thing.
In comparison, Mu Hanyan felt that the power struggles within the Mu family were simply aboveboard.
"I'm over three hundred years old. I'm really old after living to this day." At this moment, Mo Qingkuang said leisurely.
