After patiently listening to their objections, Mo Junye responded with great focus, "Grandfather, Uncle, please be patient and allow me to finish speaking."
Seeing this, Yun's father silently shifted his gaze elsewhere, secretly wondering to himself, "Could this kid really have some brilliant plan?"
Yun Ziyu gestured for the other person to continue, but the expression on her face clearly revealed a dismissive attitude, as if to say: Say what you will, I will never change my mind easily.
Mo Junye took a deep breath, then said slowly, "Grandfather, Uncle, regarding this matter, this is actually how I've been thinking..."
Then, he recounted his meticulously planned scheme to Yun's father and Yun Ziyu without reservation.
Yun's father and Yun Ziyu listened quietly, sometimes frowning slightly, sometimes lost in thought.
After Mo Junye finished speaking, the room fell silent.
After a long silence, Yun's father finally broke the silence and said with a solemn expression, "This matter is of utmost importance and must be carefully planned."
Mo Junye was incredibly intelligent, and he naturally understood the implication behind Yun's father's words—he was still not convinced.
The reason why his maternal grandfather could say it so tactfully was because he loved him and couldn't bear to refuse him directly and make him feel disappointed.
Why.
So, Mo Junye turned and cast a hopeful glance at Yun Ziyu.
Yun Ziyu originally intended to agree with his father's wishes. However, when he met Mo Junye's expectant gaze, he couldn't help but feel a pang of reluctance.
On the other hand, he really didn't want to watch the two of them take such a big risk.
For a moment, Yun Ziyu felt caught in a dilemma, her heart filled with turmoil.
"How about we consult with our elder brother and the Grand Tutor? I imagine they have their own opinions on this matter. Then we can make a decision?" Yun Ziyu glanced at his father and then at Mo Junye, who was looking at him expectantly.
There's nothing else he can say for now.
If he were to refuse outright, Mo Junye would definitely be severely hurt.
But if he agrees to Mo Junye's plan, he will feel guilty for the rest of his life if something goes wrong.
Seeing that the two had made their intentions clear, Mo Junye didn't say anything more.
“Alright, then we’ll discuss this matter again after the morning court session tomorrow,” Mo Junye said calmly.
The two sensed the displeasure in Mo Junye's tone, but they did not change their minds.
How could they possibly watch two children be exposed to danger?
After they finished discussing the matter, night had already fallen when they stepped out of the room.
The sky was as black as ink, as if a huge black silk ribbon had been draped over the earth.
Mica had been waiting for a long time, and when she saw them come out, she hurriedly went to greet them.
"Grandmother, I have to attend court early tomorrow morning, and time is tight. I must hurry back to the palace. I wonder where my sister is now?" Mo Junye asked anxiously after bowing to Yunmu.
Yunmu smiled slightly and replied, "The two of them played in the garden for a while. Zhiyuan is probably tired and has already fallen asleep. Cheng Xuan is currently waiting at the gate of the courtyard."
Upon hearing that his sister and Cheng Xuan had a very enjoyable trip together, a barely perceptible glint flashed in Mo Junye's eyes, but he said nothing more.
He knew he had hurt his sister in the past and was unwilling to repeat the same mistake.
He thought to himself: She's just a playmate. Since she makes my sister happy, I'll let her be.
"Then I'll go take a look." Mo Junye was thinking about the promise he had made to Mo Zhiyuan earlier—to bring them into the palace together.
So he planned to go and see his sister in person. If she was sleeping soundly, then it wouldn't hurt to let her stay overnight at her grandmother's house.
When Mo Junye arrived at the courtyard, a babyish, loud voice reached his ears.
The sound was coming from the small courtyard.
"Brother Chengxuan, hurry up and get your clothes. Let's go find him. I've already told him that we're going to the palace together today."
"Sister Yuntao, pack all my things, let's hurry, what will we do if brother leaves?"
"I wonder if my brother has left yet. He's so busy, will he wait for me?" The last sentence carried a hint of disappointment.
When Mo Junye heard that his sister was anxiously looking for him, the slight discomfort he had felt earlier vanished without a trace.
Hearing his sister's next words, he immediately quickened his pace and entered the small courtyard.
“Of course I keep my word, I’ll take you back to the palace with me,” Mo Junye said with a smile.
He could never help but smile in front of his sister.
"Brother, wow, brother, you didn't leave! That's great!"
"Yes, brother will wait for you to return to the palace together."
Suburban mountain villa.
"They just left us here like this! This so-called hospitality of the Sumeru Dynasty is truly an eye-opener!" someone complained indignantly.
"I've heard that the Sumeru Continent is currently governed by a mere infant prince."
"A baby in charge? He's probably still wetting his pants on the throne, hahaha, no wonder he doesn't know how to treat us distinguished guests."
Another person sneered: "Hmph, how can you expect a brat who's barely out of his teens to know anything about hospitality? It's laughable!"
"Yes, it's truly an eye-opener. I'd heard that this Tail-less Continent was mediocre, but seeing it today is even more disappointing. Who would have thought that such a declining land would entrust the entire continent to a naive and ignorant child?" The crowd echoed, expressing their dissatisfaction and contempt for the current state of the Sumeru Continent.
At this moment, someone interjected, "You may not know this, but the king of the Sumeru Continent is quite the romantic. It is said that in order to save his beloved wife who should have died long ago, he went to the First Continent to find a spiritual medicine."
"Oh? I see. But why haven't we been able to find out their exact whereabouts yet? Otherwise, why would we have traveled all this way to this godforsaken place to suffer? I really don't understand how they managed to hide so well." Someone asked, puzzled.
"That medicine man was specially prepared for His Highness Xuanming by Elder Zhou of the First Continent. With the powerful forces of the First Continent backing him up, it's natural that we can't curry favor with him," someone analyzed.
"Fortunately, our lord is wise and mighty, sending us to the Sumeru Continent to gather intelligence. As long as we can capture those two little ones and bring them back, their parents will surely show up!" A sly glint flashed in the eyes of a man who appeared to be a general.
"Hahaha, that's absolutely right. It's not impossible for the Sumeru Dynasty to change its masters." Everyone echoed in agreement.
"Oh? Then who do you think should be chosen instead?" A voice with an ambiguous meaning came from behind.
"who?"
