"I said hundreds of years ago that I would no longer interfere in the affairs of the Zong family, so this favor has nothing to do with the Zong family. You don't have to think too much about it." Mo Qingkuang saw what he was struggling with and said lightly. After thinking for a while, he reminded him, "However, as the head of the family, you must take the prosperity of the family as your own responsibility, go with the flow and have a long-term vision. Don't act on impulse."
Mo Gaoyi was shocked. Mo Qingkuang's words were so calm, but it was clear that he was scolding him for being short-sighted and ignoring the family's interests because of personal grudges. Could it be that the ancestor wanted to make peace with the Mu family?
Thinking of this, Mo Gaoyi felt a chill on his back again. Although Mo Qingkuang had not cared about worldly affairs for hundreds of years, his status in the Mo family was unparalleled. If he wanted to abolish his position as the head of the family, no one could stop him.
"Gaoyi knows he was wrong and will respect the teachings of his ancestors." Mo Gaoyi quickly admitted his mistake.
He originally wanted to find an opportunity to teach Mu Hanyan a lesson, but now he has given up the idea. At least before Mo Qingkuang leaves, he will definitely not cause trouble for Mu Hanyan again.
Even the ancestors owed Mu Hanyan a huge favor. If he went to find trouble with Mu Hanyan, wouldn't that be a slap in the face of the ancestors?
Anyway, the ancestor only came back once every few decades or even centuries, and each time he stayed for only a few days. He just wanted to prove that he was still alive and make other families more cautious. Once he left, it was only a matter of time before they would deal with Mu Hanyan.
"It's good that you admit your mistake. As the head of the family, some tricks and schemes are not a bad thing. You have done a good job." Mo Qingkuang nodded and said.
Seeing the old ancestor's expression ease, Mo Gaoyi finally felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that although the old ancestor was a little dissatisfied with him, it was not serious. As long as he didn't anger him again these days, it should be fine.
"Master, Mr. Mo Yanhong of the Mo family wants to see you." At this moment, Ji Gaoxian's disciple reported from outside.
Mu Hanyan was a little puzzled. What was this guy doing here? It was truly a case of enemies meeting on a narrow road.
"Let him in." Ji Gaoxian said.
Soon, Mo Yanhong pushed open the door and walked in.
"Yanhong greets the ancestor and father. I just heard that the ancestor has returned, so I hurried here to serve him." Mo Yanhong said flatteringly, while kowtowing respectfully to Mo Qingkuang.
Mo Qingkuang likes quietness. Every time he comes back, he only sees the head elder of the family, and at most a few elders from each branch of the clan. He doesn't even know anyone else.
Mo Gaoyi knew his habits. This time when Mo Qingkuang came back, he didn't even dare to tell Mo Yanhong.
However, just now when Mo Qingkuang sent Mo Yanlin back, he caused some noise. Coincidentally, Mo Yanhong heard some news and pestered a few elders. After confirming that the ancestor had returned, he hurried to show off.
To be honest, although this guy is uneducated, he is also quite smart. He knows that as long as he pleases Mo Qingkuang and gets a few good words from him, his status in the clan will be greatly improved, and he will have fewer obstacles if he wants to get involved in the position of the head of the family in the future. Of course, it would be even better if the ancestor is happy to reward him with some natural treasures or some secret manuals of martial arts.
"It's rare that you have such filial piety. Get up." Mo Qingkuang said lightly.
The younger generations treat each other with courtesy, so naturally he, as an elder, should also treat them with courtesy. In aristocratic families, etiquette is still taken very seriously.
"Yes." Mo Yanhong slowly stood up. The words "it's rare that you have such filial piety" made Mo Yanhong flattered. It seemed that the ancestor was very satisfied with his etiquette.
Thinking of this, his eyes turned slightly, and he bowed to Shen Moce and the others again: “Junior Mo Yanhong, I pay my respects to Master Shen, Master Pu, Master Weng, and Master Ji.”
He didn't know why the ancestor came here, but Shen Moce, Pu Tiandi, Weng Yixiao, and Ji Gaoxian were all here, so he guessed something. He thought that these astrology masters must have some friendship with the ancestor, and today was just a gathering of old friends to reminisce about the past.
Normally, he didn't take these astrologers seriously, but since they were old friends of his ancestors, he didn't dare to neglect them. At this time, his demeanor was as respectful as possible, and his etiquette was as perfect as possible. He was neither humble nor arrogant, but also full of respect. He was simply a model of a child from a noble family.
Mo Gaoyi showed a satisfied smile on his face: although his precious son was not very promising, he still had very good eyesight. Today's artificial behavior made him proud and showed that he was a good parent.
"Mr. Mo, there is no need to be so polite. Please stand up." Shen Moce and the others had heard of Mo Yanhong's name and had no good feelings towards this uneducated and prodigal son, but since others were being polite, they had to give some face. They couldn't let Mo Qingkuang be embarrassed.
Mo Yanhong looked up and saw his father's satisfied look, and he felt secretly proud. He glanced around and noticed that in addition to his father, the old ancestor, and several masters such as Shen Moce, there were several young people in the room.
Since it was a play, of course one had to act it out fully. Mo Yanhong put away his usual arrogance, put on a friendly smile, bowed, and said to Mu Hanyan and the others, "Brothers, I'm Mo Yanhong, and I'm honored to meet you... Hey, Mu Hanyan, why are you there too?"
Before he could finish his words, Mo Yanhong saw Mu Hanyan's smiling face and subconsciously exclaimed.
To be honest, Mo Yanhong had offended many people and disliked even more people, but the one he hated the most was Mu Hanyan. He even dreamed of tearing him into pieces.
As soon as he saw Mu Hanyan, his heart lost its composure. He couldn't continue this drama.
"Why is this guy here?" Mo Yanhong's mind raced.
"Of course I came here to pay a visit to some masters." Mu Hanyan said lightly.
Originally, Mu Hanyan wanted to retort him, but after thinking about it, she realized that she had already bullied others badly enough, and since his father and ancestors were all here today, she decided to give him some face.
"Visit a few masters?" Mo Yanhong pondered Mu Hanyan's words and seemed to have guessed something.
"Do you know each other?" Mo Qingkuang asked.
Although he was cheated by Mu Hanyan, Mo Qingkuang was not angry. Instead, he became more curious and admired Mu Hanyan.
Despite his young age, he possessed a remarkable cultivation base. His calm demeanor was truly remarkable. Given his fame, even many Sword Saint-level experts would tremble in fear before him, not daring to breathe. However, Mu Hanyan remained unfazed, even ruthlessly extorting money.
Thinking back to when he was young, and then looking at Mu Hanyan in front of him, Mo Qingkuang felt really ashamed of himself.
He has lived for more than three hundred years. Of course, he is not getting more confused as he gets older. Instead, he is becoming more and more experienced in looking at people.
This Mu Hanyan, regardless of her talent, just her character, will become a great person in the future! In a moment, Mo Qingkuang made such a judgment.
