Chapter 10: The Family
Mo Yu looked at Elder Mo seriously, and after Elder Mo hesitated for a moment, he sighed and said, "I understand, I won't stop the young master, but the young master must remember that after this matter is done, he will leave the Mo family immediately, otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable...... Mo Yu nodded and said, "I understand, please rest assured Elder Mo." Elder Mo nodded, and a hint of anticipation began to appear in his deep eyes.
"In that case, the little young master should go and rest." After Elder Mo finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the mansion. Mo Yu looked at the back of the slowly leaving, then turned his gaze to Zixi, who was sleeping peacefully, and then gently picked her up, followed out of the mansion, and walked towards another house......
……
The next day, the harsh sunlight shone into the ordinary, cramped hut. Zixi was stimulated by this dazzling gaze and slowly opened her eyes. Seeing Mo Yu sitting on a chair not far away, sleeping on the table, Zixi felt a trace of warmth.
Looks like he succeeded...... Zixi stretched out his left hand, and unexpectedly found that the sword mark had almost disappeared, so he looked at the sleeping Mo Yu with a stunned expression. Zixi slowly sat up from the bed, although he lost too much blood, Mo Yu should have also taken a lot of painstaking work for himself, so his physical condition was almost recovered.
Zixi cautiously climbed out of bed, who knew that the wooden bed "creaked", and Mo Yu was awakened. Zixi looked at the sleepy-eyed Mo Yu embarrassedly, lowered the cat's ears, and said apologetically: "Yes...... Sorry to wake you up. Mo Yu yawned, waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter, it's almost time to get up at this point...... Well? ”
Mo Yu's waist stretched out to the general, and his back was suddenly surrounded by a soft feeling, and a faint fragrance continued to rush into his nose, making his face constantly hot. Mo Yu turned his head to look, Zixi had a faint smile on his face, and gently hugged him behind him.
"I'm going to stay with you all the time...... ...... forever" Zixi said softly, Mo Yu's heart trembled, and he took Zixi into his arms with his backhand. Zixi was overwhelmed by Mo Yu's sudden move, Mo Yu hugged Zixi, and tears gradually appeared in her eyes.
Since he was a child, his father has always taken care of him, but I don't know when, his father has always been involved in affairs and can't spare time to accompany him. However, even so, Mo Yu knew why his father became like this, so he didn't put any pressure on his father anymore, but practiced spells in the family very diligently, hoping to get ahead one day.
However, one day, his father came to him and said, "Yu'er, you have also grown up, and you will not achieve much if you stay at home all the time." Mo Yu knew that this was just an excuse from his father, and the real reason was that another force in this family had begun to move, and his father wanted Mo Yu to leave this family in order to keep his surroundings safe, not only so that he could progress faster in his cultivation, but also to protect him. However, the price of this is that he cannot return to the family at will, so as not to be poisoned.
Fathers and sons have been in constant contact for a long time...... Long...... But in the end, because of himself, his father broke this rule, and finally was murdered, how unbearable is this pain?
Sensing that Mo Yu's body seemed to be trembling, Zixi let go of the hand holding Mo Yu, and then looked at Mo Yu's face in shock. Mo Yu has never been so painful and vulnerable as she is now......
Zixi wiped away her tears for Mo Yu and asked worriedly, "What happened?" Mo Yu took a deep breath, calmed down his mood, and said with a choked voice: "We are now in the Mo family...... My father was killed! "What?!" Zixi lost her voice. She had fought with the patriarch of the Mo family, and she knew how terrifying this man who stood at the top of the world was, but he was murdered? How long has it been?
Mo Yu slowly stood up, and the sadness in his eyes was gradually taken back by him. In front of this girl, he shouldn't be so cowardly.
A faint smile appeared on Zixi's face, and said, "I will bear your sorrow for you, and I will always be by your side!" Mo Yu also slowly smiled and said, "Thank you." ”
Zixi shook his head and said, "Keep these two words for yourself, this is what I should do." That...... What's next, you don't want to inherit your family business, do you? If that's the case...... ""Naturally, I won't bury my life in vain, but I still have to inherit the position of the head of this family, because I have something to do, and I will leave as soon as I finish it." Zixi hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, but that's what you said, leave as soon as you're done!" ”
How chaotic the Mo family is now, it can be seen from the fact that the patriarch was poisoned. And the faction to which Mo Yu belongs is also the faction that does not approve of killing feather beasts, then he is also the public enemy of another force in the family, plus the enemy is dark and clear, in this case, the longer Mo Yu stays in the family, the greater the threat to his life, so it is inevitable to leave.
Mo Yu nodded and said, "Naturally, let's go and prepare first." Zixi nodded, and walked out with Mo Yu. Elder Mo completely helped them arrange the breakfast, and after all the preparations were made, Elder Mo gathered a part of the guards and personally followed Mo Yu towards the luxurious palace in the center of the manor.
After entering the palace, the two rows of spacious palace were filled with more than a dozen people. Mo Yu looked at these people with an indifferent face, the people who could sit here were all people with extremely high status in their Mo family, and they could even be said to be important people who decided the Mo family. However, although these people are the mainstay of the family, the culprit of killing his father must also be among them, that is to say, among these people, there are few people he can be completely trusted, and it can even be said that he is completely untrustworthy!
Seeing Mo Yu enter the hall, the elders who were originally sitting in the hall stood up one after another, and saluted Mo Yu: "Welcome the young master back to the house." Zixi stood beside Mo Yu and glanced at him, only to see Mo Yu's indifferent face, and said in a cold voice: "The patriarch should have said something before his death, right?" Concerning...... The matter of the next patriarch of the family! The elders in the hall looked at each other, and finally an elder stepped forward and said with a smile: "Naturally, I remember that the patriarch said that you want the young master to inherit the next patriarch." I will do my best to assist you in your ascension to the throne of patriarch. ”
Behind Mo Yu, Elder Mo's brows furrowed slightly, but he didn't say anything. Zixi, who was beside Mo Yu, had been vigilantly observing her surroundings, and Elder Mo's small change in expression was naturally seen by her.
Mo Yu stepped forward with an indifferent face, walked to the unique Taishi chair in the center of the front, turned around, faced the elders, and said loudly: "Since this is the case, the patriarch has passed away, then his position will also be inherited by me, I will inherit the will of my father, I hope that the elders can assist me!" ”
The elders all looked at each other with different expressions, and finally walked to the center in unison, bowed to Mo Yu and said, "We are willing to use all of our own to assist the patriarch!" ”
Mo Yu nodded, and after being silent for a while, he spoke: "Since all the elders have recognized me as the patriarch, then...... I have a task for you first. The elder who supported Mo Yu at the beginning arched his hand and said, "Patriarch, please say it." ”
Mo Yu was condescending, looking at this group of "smiling tiger" elders, and said indifferently: "I want to pass on the family's spell!" "What?!" The elders in the audience were stunned. The elder who had supported Mo Yu at the beginning stepped forward and said, "Don't do it, little young man...... Patriarch! These spells are the work of our family for thousands of years, and if they are passed on, ...... "Oh? Are you disobeying the will of the patriarch? Mo Yu was not very polite to these elders, but was very indifferent.
"This ......" The elder was dumbfounded, slowly lowered his head, and walked back to the position that belonged to him, but a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and no one noticed it.
"This order is forced by me, and the opposition is invalid! That's it, disperse! Mo Yu gave an order, and then sat indifferently and domineeringly on the Taishi chair that only the patriarch of this family could sit on.
When the elders saw Mo Yu sitting on the Taishi chair, they were stunned at first, then bowed their heads and said, "Since it is the order of the patriarch, then I will implement it...... Leave! Then the elders walked out of the hall one by one.
In the entire hall, only the elder who supported Mo Yu at the beginning, Elder Mo, Zixi and Mo Yu remained. The elder who supported Mo Yu at the beginning calmly looked at Mo Yu who was sitting on the Taishi chair that only the patriarch could sit on, and asked, "You...... Is that really the decision? Mo Yu said indifferently: "As you can see." The elder nodded and said, "What about you...... Shape up or ship out. With that, the elder also left the main hall, but when he left, he had an inexplicable and strange smile on his face. As a result, there were only three people left in the entire hall.
In the empty hall, after remaining silent for a while, Mo Yu spoke: "Elder Mo, I still need your help in this matter, I am afraid that these elders cannot be trusted." Elder Mo arched his hand and said, "The old man understands, but there is still one thing for the patriarch to pay attention to. Mo Yu looked at Elder Mo and said, "Say it." "Be careful...... Curse! Elder Mo said.
Curses require the magic circle to come into contact with the cursed person before they can be infected, and the triggering of curses requires certain conditions to be triggered. However, the cursed magic array could be so hidden that it was difficult to detect, and what Elder Mo said was to ask Mo Yu to pay attention to everything around him.
Mo Yu nodded and said, "I understand, Elder Mo, don't worry, I will leave the family with Zixi at noon." Elder Mo nodded and said, "Well, then the old man will go and carry out that matter first." Mo Yu nodded, and Elder Mo turned around and left the main hall.
There were only two people left in the main hall, Mo Yu and Zixi, Mo Yu beckoned, and Zixi walked forward and walked in front of Mo Yu. Mo Yu stood up and smiled at Zixi: "I will protect you and take care of myself." Zixi smiled and nodded, "This is what you said......
