3374 This Life
Black Tortoise Monarch nodded and led his wife inside. As he did so, he secretly looked at the layout of the Manor, and took note of the people in the open and in the shadows.
With his cultivation base, naturally he was aware of not only the people in the open, but also of the people who were in the shadows guarding the Manor. The two men he met earlier had extraordinary bearing. If Elder Mei hadn’t introduced them briefly, he wouldn’t have guessed that they were just servants of the Manor.
When they arrived at the hall, the servants served tea, then stepped back. Du Fan stayed in the hall and took care of them. Meanwhile, in the main courtyard behind, Feng Jiu, who had already told the servants to clear the dishes from the table, was chatting with the others when she saw Leng Hua walk in.
“Master.” Leng Hua greeted as he walked in.
“Hmm?” Feng Jiu glanced at him.
“Black Tortoise Monarch and his wife are here. They are waiting in the front hall.” Leng Hua said as he looked at Hao’er.
Feng Jiu looked at Hao’er instinctively when she heard those words. She was silent for a while. Xuanyuan Mo Ze stood up and said: “Let’s go and have a look! Let Hao’er meet them.”
“Mmm.” Feng Jiu responded, then she took Hao’er’s hand and said to Guan Xilin and Mo Chen: “Have some tea first! We will go to the front to greet our guests.”
“Go!” The two of them nodded.
When he saw Xuanyuan Mo Ze and Feng Jiu take Hao’er out of the courtyard, Mo Chen looked at Guan Xilin and asked: “Why is the Black Tortoise Monarch here? When did they meet?”
Guan Xilin smiled and said: “They’ve never met in the past, nor do they know each other. However, apparently Black Tortoise Monarch is Hao’er’s birth father. So I think they have come to take him back.”
He shook his head and sighed softly: “However, Hao’er grew up with Little Jiu by his side and has never met his birth parents. I think he will be reluctant to go back with them and part with Xuanyuan Mo Ze and Feng Jiu.”
When he heard what Guan Xilin had said, Mo Chen was a little surprised. He hadn’t expected Hao’er’s birth father to be Black Tortoise Monarch. As for Feng Jiu, would she be willing to part with the child she had raised for the past five six years and let them take him back?
“Mo Chen, I’ve known you for a long time, but I’ve never seen a woman around you. After all these years, have you not met someone you like?”
Guan Xilin asked with a smile as he looked at the banished immortal in front of him, who seemed incapable of experiencing the affairs of the heart. There was a hint of curiosity in his heart. In all these years, he had never seen him treat any woman differently, other than his younger sister, Feng Jiu.
However, Mo Chen and Little Jiu have known each other for many years. He had never felt that Mo Chen had any affection for her before, so he probably wouldn’t have any inappropriate thoughts towards Little Jiu. After all, he was there through the journey that Mo Ze and Little Jiu have been through together, someone who had accompanied them through wind and rain.
Someone like him naturally wouldn’t get involved in other people’s affairs of the heart. He also wouldn’t fall in love with her knowing that her heart belonged to someone else. However, he had previously had a strange feeling and felt that he treated Little Jiu a little differently.
Upon hearing Guan Xilin’s question, Mo Chen smiled gently: “I am someone who has cut all emotional ties and desires, threads of love, those things do not belong to me.”
“Cut all emotional ties and desires?” Guan Xilin was startled when he heard this: “What’s going on?”
Mo Chen smiled and said softly: “Because I am the Holy Son. In order to obtain the Holy Power of the Holy Temple, I must sever all emotional ties and desires. I have been cultivating in the Holy Tower the past few years in order for my primordial spirit to be unified with my heart and soul with a clear mind. Therefore, in this life, I will not be tainted by those thoughts and desires.”
