Chapter 89: Recruiting Relatives in Competition
"Judging by her expression, she seems to care a lot about this city lord ceremony?"
On the way back, Yun Mo couldn't help but think about Mo Xuan's strange behavior, and after a while, he shook his head, "Could it be that this City Lord Ceremony is very important to her, but why do you have to let me go?"
"Isn't that obvious enough?"
At this time, the voice of the old scholar came slowly.
However, before he finished speaking, he was directly interrupted by Yun Mo.
"Okay, old scholar, don't mess around with mandarin duck scores there! This is just the first time we've met, and we're far from that step!"
"Relationships can be cultivated, and feelings can be warmed up!"
Shu Lao seemed to be an expert in love, and actually said to Yun Mo, "According to my observation, there will inevitably be emotional sparks between you!"
Well?
Yun Mo stopped at this time, his face full of doubts, "Old Shu, you seem to be hiding something from me, right?"
"Hiding it from you?
Although he denied it, his tone betrayed him.
Yun Mo heard that Shu Lao was lying, so he hurriedly asked, "It seems that you care a lot about Miss Mo, and you have been trying your best to match us. From what I know of you, you're definitely doing this on purpose, and you're not trying to make fun of me!"
Taking a deep breath, Yun Mo asked in a deep voice, "Please tell me, what's going on?"
"What would you do if I told you?"
It seemed that he was going to stop hiding it, but the old man actually relented.
"If you tell me about it, I'll seriously consider what I have to do with her. Of course, only if you make things clear and let me understand why!"
After a moment of silence, the old scholar actually refused.
"Forget it, with your current strength, there are many things that should not be touched too early, otherwise, it will be very detrimental to your future development!"
The scholar shook his head and refused, with a slightly lonely tone, "You should step up your cultivation efforts now." โ
"Always remember one sentence, strength is the only truth on the mainland!"
After speaking, the old scholar stopped speaking, and seemed to fall into a deep sleep.
After thinking about the old scholar's words for a while, Yun Mo was suddenly stunned, and then his face was quite helpless.
You were the one who aroused my curiosity in the first place, and now you don't want to tell me the truth, is this - are you kidding me?
For the old scholar, Yun Mo was quite convinced.
But fortunately, this old man has never cheated him, at most he is a little chattering, and he is still very good to him on the whole.
Shaking his head, Yun Mo returned to the Yun family.
As soon as he arrived home, Yun Mo met Yun Yi.
"Father, why are you here?"
Seeing Yun Yi standing on the side, as if he was waiting for someone, Yun Mo couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, "Are you waiting for me?"
"Hmm!" Yun Yi smiled and nodded, with a kind face, "Let's go, let's talk in another place!"
With that, Yun Mo followed Yun Yi to a pavilion.
Yun Yi first asked Yun Mo about his experience in the past few months.
Although what Yun Mo said was very different from what he heard from Yun Bing, some words would have a different feeling when he heard them from the mouth of the party, especially if this person was still his son.
After praising Yun Mo twice, Yun Yi changed his words, and then asked, "By the way, you just sent Mo Xuan back to the house, did anything happen on the way?"
Something happened?
Yun Mo glanced at Yun Yi a little blankly and touched his nose, "What-what do you mean?"
Somehow, Yun Yi looked a little flustered, his expression was quite unnatural, and he swallowed a sentence slowly for a long time.
"It'sโthat's it!"
That thing?
Yun Mo was still at a loss, but when he saw Yun Yi's expression, suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed, and he seemed to understand something.
"Father, this is just the first time we have met, how can we get to that point?" Yun Mo said softly, with a righteous face, "Besides, although the child is not a decent gentleman, he is not the kind of casual person!"
Casual people?
This time it was Yun Yi's turn to be a little dazed.
After a while, Yun Yi seemed to have figured it out, and immediately coughed dryly, "I mean, did Miss Mo say something strange to you, you- where did you think of it?"
"Ahh
As soon as these words came out, Yun Mo was stupid on the spot.
Then Yun Mo also returned to normal, scratched his head, and after relieving the embarrassment, he continued, "It's nothing. It's just- she seems to want me to go to the Castle Lord Ceremony. By the way, father, what's going on with the City Lord Ceremony? Isn't the Mo City Lord already sick and dead? Why do you still have to hold the City Lord Ceremony?"
Hearing Mo Xuan ask about this, Yun Yi did not rush to answer Yun Mo's question, but sighed first.
"Alas, it's a long story!"
After a pause, Yun Yi continued, "Actually, the City Lord's Ceremony was something that had been set by the Mo City Lord before his death. It's a pity he didn't make it to this day!"
Yun Mo frowned, as if he sensed that something was wrong with this matter, "What's going on?"
"The City Lord Ceremony has always been a grand ceremony that can only be held by the city lords of all dynasties, and its implication is to select the next city lord!"
"Oh, I see. Yun Mo nodded, "It turns out that this City Lord Ceremony is actually the City Lord Succession Ceremony!"
"That's pretty much it!"
Yun Yi nodded, and then added, "However, this City Lord Ceremony is different from the previous ones! Originally, the position of City Lord was held by the Mo family, because the entire Mo City was actually founded by the ancestors of the Mo family!"
"It's just that this year's Mo City Master Ding is thin, and he only has one daughter, so the Mo City Lord means to select a suitable candidate from our Yun family and the Lu family to succeed the city lord!"
"What?"
Hearing Yun Yi's words, Yun Mo directly let out an exclamation, "Then wouldn't this be regarded as giving up the position of city lord?"
The lord of a city, with great power.
Yun Mo was surprised by such a hereditary position, and the Mo City Lord was actually willing to let it go?
Shaking his head, Yun Yi sighed, "No way, who let the Mo City Lord have no son under his knees!"
"Isn't Miss Mo able to be the city lord?" Yun Mo asked rhetorically.
To be honest, with Mo Xuan's intelligence, it doesn't seem to be a difficult thing to be the lord of a city.
"The body of a daughter, after all, there are too many restrictions!" Yun Yi looked up at the sky and said slowly, "She is a daughter, in terms of prestige and power, it is really difficult to control Mocheng!"
In fact, when he said this, Yun Yi also muttered a little, after all, the courage and methods shown by Mo Xuan before made him quite impressed.
It's just a pity that she gave birth to a daughter by mistake, otherwise, the position of the city lord is definitely logical.
After thinking about it, Yun Mo asked again, "Then how should we run for the position of city lord now?" The old city lord Mo has already died of illness, shouldn't we let the two of us fight directly?"
Yun Yi glanced at Yun Mo and shook his head, "That's not it! Although our two families are on the same page, no one wants to take the lead until the last step!"
"In fact, in this election, Mo Xuan came up with a way to convince the public!"
"What's the solution?"
Yun Yi said lightly, "Recruit relatives through martial arts!"
Recruiting relatives in martial arts?
Yun Mo was stunned for a moment, then his body was stunned, his mouth was very big, and he said in disbelief, "Could it be that the City Lord Ceremony in three days is actually Mo Xuan's martial arts competition?"
Seeing Yun Mo's performance, Yun Yi glanced at Yun Mo a little strangely, "What's the matter?" didn't Mo Xuan tell you?"
Hearing Yun Yi's answer, Yun Mo looked shocked and froze on the spot!
"No wonder she has that expression, I see!"
Suddenly, Yun Mo finally understood why Mo Xuan was acting like that strange at that time.
