Mo Qingkuang said he didn't care about worldly affairs, but as a member of the Mo family, how could he completely ignore the Mo family's affairs? If he really didn't care, why would he come back every few decades or even centuries to support the Mo family?
But he was still old, and one day he would pass away. The future prosperity and decline of the Mo family would still be in the hands of his descendants. Similarly, Mu Beichen would also grow old, and the heads of the various families would also grow old. The future strength and weakness, survival and extinction, would all depend on the descendants of each family.
He didn't dare to judge other families easily, but as for the Mu family, he was certain that because of the existence of Mu Hanyan, the rise of the Mu family again was only a matter of time.
By that time, no one can predict what kind of changes will happen to the eight great families.
Among the noble families, interests are paramount. There are no permanent allies, nor are there permanent enemies. Although the Mo and Mu families are at odds, they do not harbor any irreconcilable hatred, so reconciliation is not difficult.
However, given his status and reputation, it would be disrespectful for him to show goodwill to the Mu family.
The acquaintance between Mo Yanhong and Mu Hanyan was a good opportunity. As long as the two of them could develop a better relationship, and with his help in making some good connections, when the Mu family became strong in the future, even if he could not help the Mo family, he would not be so cruel to the Mo family.
Even though Mo Qingkuang just asked casually, "Do you know each other?", he was actually thinking a lot in his heart and was thinking very far ahead.
"I know him, of course I know him. Young Master Mu is the number one young master in our capital. How could I not know him? Old ancestor, you may not know that Young Master Mu is extremely talented. Not only does he have a high level of cultivation, but his astrology skills are even better than his master. We, the young men in the capital, admire Young Master Mu very much." Mo Yanhong had no idea what the old ancestor was thinking, and said aloud.
He said it was admiration, but it sounded clearly sarcastic.
"Well, I also know a thing or two about Mr. Mu's astrology." Mo Qingkuang originally wanted to find an opportunity to make peace with the Mu family, but when he heard Mo Yanhong's tone was a little strange, he was puzzled and nodded calmly.
Mo Gaoyi also heard that his beloved son's tone was a little off. He wanted to remind him not to say anything careless, so as not to upset the old ancestor, but before he could open his mouth, he met Mo Qingkuang's sharp gaze and quickly lowered his head. He prayed silently in his heart, "Please don't say anything careless. While the old ancestor is still satisfied with your filial piety and courtesy, let's stop while we're ahead and don't cause any more trouble."
"Our ancestors also know this. Young Master Mu is indeed a good planner. Even our ancestors have heard of your name." Mo Yanhong said with some jealousy.
"What good plan?" Mo Qingkuang frowned.
He was just thinking of using the friendship between Mo Yanhong and Mu Hanyan to make peace with the Mu family, but from what he heard, it seemed that Mo Yanhong not only had no friendship with Mu Hanyan, but even had a grudge against them.
"Grandfather, you may not know this yet, but on the first day that Master Mu Hanyan arrived in the capital, he deliberately sought out Master Ji and challenged him to a divination contest, hoping to gain fame and recognition through Master Ji's name.
Master Ji has always been kind-hearted, but he never expected that someone would plot against him. He fell into his trap and was defeated by him, which damaged his reputation.
We young men in the capital admire Master Mu's tactics and scheming immensely." Mo Yanhong said sarcastically.
"Oh, is there such a thing?" Mo Qingkuang looked at Mo Yanhong meaningfully.
He had never heard of such a thing, but he saw clearly the attitude of Shen Moce, Ji Gaoxian and others towards Mu Hanyan just now, and it was clear that they admired him very much.
What's more, he had witnessed Mu Hanyan's astrology skills with his own eyes, and knew that even if Mu Hanyan really defeated Ji Gaoxian in the competition, it was not a deliberate conspiracy, but a fair and honest victory.
It seems that there is a lot of resentment between my younger generation and Mu Hanyan. I wonder if there is any room for reconciliation?
Thinking of this, Mo Qingkuang felt a little puzzled. Why was this guy so desperately speaking ill of Mu Hanyan in front of him? He wasn't the head of the Mu family. Even if he hated Mu Hanyan, what could he do to him? Did he still expect him to teach Mu Hanyan a lesson? How could that be possible? How could he, an elder, teach someone else a lesson just because of a conflict between them? Did he even have any dignity left?
"Isn't it? Master Ji is both virtuous and talented, his astrological skills are so impressive that they move the heavens and the earth, and his ironclad wisdom has benefited the people. Who could have imagined that he would be framed by such a sinister villain? When we talk about this, we, the children of the capital, are outraged for Master Ji and deeply despise Mu Hanyan's despicable tactics!" Mo Yanhong said righteously. He thought to himself: Since our ancestor has a history with these astrological masters and even came to reminisce with them, it's clear that they have a close relationship. If I speak up for Ji Gaoxian and humiliate Mu Hanyan, our ancestor will definitely look upon me differently.
However, after hearing his words, Ji Gaoxian's face turned red and white.
Mu Hanyan rolled her eyes inwardly. Had she ever seen someone dig a hole for themselves? She had finally seen one today. Mo Yanhong, this bastard, Mu Hanyan felt, would not only dig a hole for himself, but it would only get bigger and bigger, the kind he couldn't climb out of.
The reason Mu Hanyan had come to him in the first place was because she was arrogant and spoke without thinking, almost destroying Zhang Chihua's family of three. Mo Yanhong said that he was a man of virtue and talent who benefited the people. Wasn't this a mockery of him?
Mu Hanyan was in a difficult situation at the time and had to compete. Although he lost in the end and felt a little indignant, he was convinced of his defeat. He said that Mu Hanyan was deliberate and despicable, and was trying to make him look good on the surface, but it was ironic when he thought about it carefully.
