"Who are these people?" Mo Gaoyi did not answer, but looked at Mu Hanyan and the others, obviously with some concerns.
Ji Gaoxian was about to introduce them, but he saw Mu Hanyan secretly making a look at him. He suddenly remembered that Mu Hanyan and Mo Yanhong were not on good terms, and she had just cheated someone a few days ago. It would be awkward to introduce them.
"We're all family, Patriarch Mo, feel free to speak frankly." Ji Gaoxian said vaguely. They were now considered members of the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce, and of course, they and Mu Hanyan were family. The charlatan's words were even more unfathomable and profound than the charlatan's methods.
After hearing Ji Gaoxian's words, and seeing that Mu Hanyan and the others were all relatively young, Mo Gaoyi thought that they were disciples of several masters or younger generations in the family who were following them around to gain more experience, so he didn't take them seriously.
"It's like this. My Mo family has a difficult problem and would like to ask you for help. I happened to hear that you were all together, so I came here specially." Mo Gaoyi said.
In fact, he originally wanted to ask Shen Mo Ce to help with this matter, but when he rushed over, he found out that he was not there. Later, he thought of Pu Tian Di, but he also came back empty-handed. Later, he wanted to find Weng Yi Xiao, but he also came back empty-handed. Later, he found out that the three of them had come to Ji Gao Xian, so he immediately stopped and rushed over.
"Master Mo is too polite. Just tell us what you need." Ji Gaoxian and others said politely.
Given their reputation and status, they didn't have to kowtow to Mo Gaoyi, but there was no need to offend him either.
"It's like this. This is my cousin. He has a grandson who accidentally got lost a year ago. My Mo family has searched everywhere but hasn't been able to find his whereabouts. So I would like to ask you to help with divination so that the family can be reunited." Mo Gaoyi said.
Mo Gaoyi pointed at a haggard old man behind him and said to Ji Gaoxian and others.
Lost for a year, and only now are you thinking of looking for them? Ji Gaoxian and the others were startled when they heard his words. Then, as if remembering something, they looked at the haggard old man in confusion.
"My name is Mo Gaoli. I wonder if you still remember me." The old man smiled bitterly and bowed to several people.
"It turns out to be Brother Gao Li. We haven't seen each other for many years. Brother Gao Li is still as energetic as ever. It's really gratifying." Ji Gaoxian and the others suddenly realized and spoke to the old man in a friendly manner, but a strange light flashed in their eyes.
"I am flattered that you masters still remember me. Today, I would like to ask you for your help so that our family can be reunited." Mo Gaoli said earnestly, but there was a hint of grief and anger in his eyes.
After hearing what Mo Gaoli said, Ji Gaoxian, Shen Moce and others looked at each other and remained silent, obviously thinking about something.
Mu Hanyan noticed something strange in their expressions and was a little curious. She gathered her Qi and asked Ji Gaoxian, "Master Ji, is there something hidden?"
“We’re not sure if there’s a hidden story, but this Mo Gaoli is Mo Gaoyi’s younger brother. He’s incredibly talented and was a true leader when he was young.
Back then, the two brothers Mo Gaoyi and Mo Gaoli competed for the position of head of the family. No matter their talent in managing the family or their cultivation strength, there was not much difference between them... Well, in fact, there was not no gap at all. Mo Gaoli was still slightly stronger, but he was the younger brother after all, and his status was a little lower. So in the end, even the elders of the clan could not make a decision. After discussion, they decided to pass the position of head of the family to the eldest brother rather than the youngest, and passed the position of head of the family to Mo Gaoyi.
To be honest, although the two were competing for the position of head of the family, they were extremely amicable. They fought with wits and courage without hurting each other, and it did not affect the interests of the family. Because the two were thinking of ways to contribute to the family to prove their talents, the power of the Mo family was greatly enhanced because of this.
It was a rare outcome for a dispute between the heads of aristocratic families to have such a conclusion. The rivalry between the two brothers was even hailed as a legendary story.
But no one expected that not long after Mo Gaoyi became the head of the family, he found a reason to drive Mo Gaoli out of the family with thundering means and exiled him to a remote wilderness. He ordered that his descendants would never be allowed to return to the capital unless they were summoned by the family.
It was not until this time that everyone realized that Mo Gaoyi had been pretending. He knew that he was not as good as his younger brother and was afraid of being at a disadvantage in a real fight, so he pretended to be a benevolent elder brother, making Mo Gaoli humble and hold back. However, once his goal was achieved, he immediately revealed his true colors and forced Mo Gaoli into a desperate situation.
We were all unaware of Mo Gaoli's return to the clan. If I'm not mistaken, his grandson must be incredibly talented, which is why the whole family was recruited back to the clan. After all, the Mo family isn't just Mo Gaoyi's clan; there are also many elders serving as worshippers, so Mo Gaoyi couldn't stop it.
We dare not make a hasty conclusion as to whether the disappearance of Mo Gaoli's grandson is related to Mo Gaoyi, but since the person has been missing for more than a year, it took Mo Gaoyi more than two years to find us. It is obvious that Mo Gaoyi does not want him to come back, and he came to us this time probably out of helplessness.
Although we have some reputation, we are still far behind the Mo family. If it is not necessary, we really don't want to get involved in this mess." Ji Gaoxian also gathered his energy and transmitted his voice, sighing and saying to Mu Hanyan.
Only then did Mu Hanyan realize that the Mo family had such a past. No wonder Mo Yanhong was so evil that he had sores on his head and pus on his feet. It turned out that his father was not a good person either. Thinking of this, Mu Hanyan no longer had any good feelings towards Mo Gaoyi, but she felt a little sympathy for Mo Gaoli.
"Master Ji, Master Shen, Master Pu, Master Weng, I only have one son and this grandson. I beg you to help me out of our past friendship." When he said this, Mo Gaoli's voice was a little choked.
Over the years, their family has struggled to survive in that wild land. They have long lost their former ambitions and only want their descendants to live in peace and safety.
Who knew that this only grandson was gifted, and because of this, their family was able to return to the clan. But even so, he had no intention of competing with Ji Gaoyi. After all, he had been away for so many years and had no decent resources for cultivation. His strength was far inferior to Mo Gaoyi, and the descendants of the clan had long forgotten his existence. Even if he wanted to compete, what could he use?
His greatest wish was to be able to return to the clan and ensure that his grandson lived in peace and contentment. However, things did not go as he wished, and not long after he returned, his grandson disappeared inexplicably.
According to the elders, a notice should be posted throughout the city to search for the grandson's whereabouts. However, Mo Gaoyi said that his grandson's talent was too amazing and was related to the future prosperity of the Mo family. If the news spread, it would attract the attention of other families and could very well cost his life.
Several elders thought it made sense, so they blocked the news and ordered their own disciples to search everywhere. In order to prove that he had no ulterior motives, Mo Gaoyi even sent his beloved son out.
