Chapter 3 Penglai Jade Branch (1st Update)
"Have you forgotten anything more than that?" , Mo turned his head to look at Ah Li.
"Huh?" Ali tilted his head strangely.
Mo shook his head, "I said, didn't you make an appointment before not to call me Your Highness again?" To be honest, every time I hear this title, I feel uncomfortable. Princes of that country...... Your Highness, I really don't understand why they gave me such an inexplicable honorific title......"
"Uh......", Ah Li was stunned, and then burst out laughing, "This is everyone's honorific name for you, how can it not be said that it is 'inexplicable'......"
Mo fingers rubbed his temples, "I naturally know this, the upper and lower levels are humble, and they are courteous and righteous...... But in the eyes of those who really see through its essence, it's just a matter of time......"
"It's just a trick to keep the social class stable. Those outsiders don't mention it, but between you and me, there is no need for such a false courtesy. Rather, you see a lot of that kind of face with a mask, don't you think it's really a little boring? ”
Ah Li nodded in agreement. She understands that the person in front of her has the ability to penetrate people's hearts. Everyone wants to hear flattery, but if someone listens to flattery on one side and can 'hear' the 'truth' on the other side, then it will be very annoying to listen to it for a long time.
Although Ah Li nodded, he said, "It's true that this is the agreement, but haven't you also fulfilled your promise?" ”
"......", Mo was stunned for a moment, then smiled, picked up the teacup and apologized: "This is indeed mine...... So ......"
Looking at the pretty figure in front of him, Mo took a light breath, and then slowly shouted, "Ah Li." ”
The faint tone, without any color, just shouted the name calmly, like the ordinary shouting between ordinary friends. But there is an inexplicable and indescribable emotion in my heart, which ripples slightly and lasts for a long time......
"Hmm......", Ah Li's figure stiffened suddenly, and a faint flush slowly appeared on his face.
Seeing Mo's well-groomed look, Ah Li opened his mouth slightly, but suddenly found that he didn't shout, "......"
Why do you start to feel inexplicably shy at this time, it's obvious that this is your own request, isn't it? Calm and calm, it's just a greeting between friends, well, calm down......
Taking a deep breath and slowly calming his mood, Ah Li opened his eyes again, looked at the person in front of him, and spoke again: "Although there are many words to thank you, I always feel that it is meaningless to say it." In the future, please give me a lot of advice...... Ink. ”
"Huh...... each other. ”
Under the warm winter sun, the two looked at each other and smiled. It's not an ambiguous ripple between men and women, it's just like a pair of old friends who haven't seen each other for many years, and after meeting again, they say hello and say goodbye, long time no see......
……
"Penglai Jade Branch?" , Mo looked at the man in front of him a little puzzled.
"Yes." , The middle-aged man sitting in front of Mo had a slightly unnatural face, but he still looked at Mo expectantly and said: "The old man also knows that he is a little strong, but he also asks his nephew to help him for the sake of the friendship between the two families." ”
Mo shook his head lightly, "Uncle Shi's words are serious, and my father often mentions Uncle Shi's affairs in front of my little nephew. If it is something I can do, my little nephew will naturally not refuse. But what is this Penglai jade branch, and why did Shibo ask for it? ”
"This ......", the middle-aged man's face froze, and he seemed to be a little embarrassed, but he finally gritted his teeth and explained all the reasons.
After listening to the other party's explanation, Mo nodded, "I see......"
Seeing this, the middle-aged man's eyes lit up, and he looked at Mo with a face full of hope: "So the nephew has a way to get this thing?" ”
However, Mo shook his head slowly, "If there are other treasures that Shi Bo said, I am still a little sure of obtaining them." But this Penglai jade branch is beyond my reach......"
"How could it be ......", the middle-aged man was anxious all of a sudden, but soon thought of who he was facing. Hurriedly sat down and bowed his head again and again to apologize.
Although the person in front of him has been regarded as a junior since his visit, it is just for the sake of his friendship with the other party's father. If you really rely on the old and sell the old, and put the score in hand, then you really don't know how to advance or retreat.
The strongest man in the world, the savior of the common people, and the first person in the eternal swordsmanship...... Any one of these titles is enough to shock the world, but it belongs to the person in front of him. How can such a person be influenced by ordinary people like themselves.
Compared with those fools who hold the name of nobility and don't know the so-called fools, he thinks he is sober and wise.
So he is also more aware of the gap in strength and status between himself and the other party. It's a fluke that the other party can talk to him like this. Not to mention that he is now asking for others. So he put a very low attitude when he came in, and he was even more cautious in his words, for fear of offending the other party.
Mo shook his head, "Shibo, it's not that I'm not willing to help. Rather, it is indeed impossible to obtain what you ask for. ”
"What!?" , The middle-aged man looked surprised, then thought about it, considered his words, and asked, "Could it be that Penglai Yuzhi doesn't exist at all?" ”
Mo still shook his head and explained: "No, since the other party made this request, it should still exist. However, although it exists in the world, it is no longer possible to obtain ......"
Too lazy to hang the other party's appetite again, Mo explained in one breath:
"According to what you said, this Penglai jade branch comes from the overseas immortal mountain, a branch of a sacred tree on Penglai Mountain. But that Penglai Immortal Mountain had already closed all the roads with the outside world thousands of years ago. Although its figure still floats above the endless East China Sea, it will never be visible again. Even if we pass through the vast sea and search through thousands of mountains and rivers, it is impossible for us to set foot on it again, let alone take the branches of the sacred tree on it. ”
"This ...... This ......", the middle-aged man was speechless when he heard this fact.
Looking at the other party's unwilling look, Mo shook his head in his heart. The man made this request and simply refused in another way. Things that seem to exist, but are absolutely impossible. No matter what, it's just in vain......
said that if it weren't for the fact that he had a little friendship with his biological father in this life, Mo wouldn't even bother to explain.
After sending the disappointed other party away, Mo shook his head and turned back to the mansion. With a muffled sound, the door of the house closed again......
…… To be continued......
