Chapter 172: Chapter 172: Mo Huasong’s Childhood Betrothal_1 Chapter 172: Chapter 172: Mo Huasong’s Childhood Betrothal_1 Mo Chenghai dismissively said, “What’s so impressive about artifact refinent?”
Mo Huaren quietly tugged at Mo Chenghai’s sleeve, whispering, “Dad, you may not be aware, but for us martial artists, weapons are of great importance. The Little Black Knife refined by Master Batian has been hailed as a peerless artifact in the martial arts world, it’s extrely formidable.”
“Indeed, the artifacts refined by Mo Batian, also known as Master Batian, are what we’ve always wanted. The Star Gate did offer artifacts by him for sale, but they harbored ill-intentions and even planned to strike against him. This angered Master Batian to the point where he single-handedly ventured to take out Star Gate, resulting in its extinction.” Jindaoren’s voice slightly tremored at the tail end of this recount.
“Indeed, everyone at Star Gate was wiped out.” Mo Huaren secretly nodded.
Previously, he had thought of himself as ruthless, but compared to Master Batian, he was still lacking.
He intended to idolize Master Batian and learn from him.
After all, Huasong, the waste, was of no use, and Huabai had died. He had already beco the successor of the Mo family, and his goal had been achieved.
Now, Mo Huaren’s goal was to beco a formidable figure like Master Batian, to make the Mo family the top clan, and to surpass the Long family.
Granny Mo couldn’t stand such violent talk, she hurriedly advised, “You mustn’t provoke that man nad Batian or whatever in the future.”
The old master of the Mo family also nodded in agreent, “Indeed, although Star Gate was only a first-level sect, its strength was close to a super sect. Mo Batian annihilated it just like that, showing that such a person mustn’t be provoked. This ti, I plan to send soone to Zhanshai City to make friends with Mo Batian and avoid becoming enemies at all cost.”
“Dad, let go. I’ll stay in the Songhua Group, keeping an eye on Wu Yuzhen and the others so they don’t cause trouble,” Mo Chengzhen hastily suggested.
The death of his son was very mysterious. He needed to forge more connections in the martial arts world to uncover the truth.
Especially soone like Mo Batian, who was at the grandmaster level, was definitely a person he wished to forge ties with.
Moreover, Wu Yuzhen, who was quite the beauty and had remained unmarried all these years, called for his attention as her uncle.
“You want to go?” The old master of the Mo family slightly frowned.
In this period when Mo Chengzhen was grieving the loss of his son, his mood was bad, and his mind was not in the right place, which was a cause for concern.
Now that Mo Chengzhen had volunteered to go to Zhanshai City, it would be a good opportunity for him to clear his mind.
“Yes, Dad. Let go, please,” pleaded Mo Chengzhen.
Seeing the old master’s expression soften, Mo Huaren knew that he agreed, and quickly interjected, “Grandpa, letting Uncle Chengzhen go is a good idea. Along with him, please allow Uncle Lin to accompany him. Their safety should not be a problem then.”
No matter what Mo Chengzhen was up to, Mo Huaren would have his n follow him. That way, if anything went wrong, he could know about it in no ti.
“Yes, Old Master, I can accompany Uncle Chengzhen to provide protection,” Mo Lin hastily proposed.
Unknowing of the fact that Mo Lin had already sworn allegiance to Mo Huaren, Chengzhen thought that Mo Lin had always been loyal to him. Having such a capable man by his side felt reassuring.
“Alright, Mo Lin will accompany to Zhanshai City,” Mo Chengzhen announced.
The old master said, “Well then, Mo Chengzhen will be taking Mo Lin and the others. Even though Zhanshai City is a small place, you still need to be careful with Mo Batian. Try not to provoke him, to avoid any trouble.”
Jindaoren also declared, “Indeed, the artifacts crafted by Master Batian are extraordinary, and many sects wish to curry favor with him. You must avoid provoking him, or no one will be able to save you.”
Although super sects do have grandmaster level experts who are not afraid of Mo Batian, such high-level experts are so proud, why would they fight on behalf of so insignificant people?
“That Mo Batian is really impressive. If our Mo family could forge ties with him, it would be a great advantage.” Mo Chengzhen exclaid.
The old master nodded, “Chengzhen, your other task is to forge a connection with Mo Batian. I’ve heard that Mo Batian has so associations with the Pang Family Villa. You should bring a generous gift and pay a visit to the owner of the manor, Pang Wenjun.”
“Yes,” Mo Chengzhen acknowledged.
“Now, if there’s no other matter, all of you may go back,” the old master waved his hand, gesturing for everyone to leave.
Just as everyone was preparing to leave, Granny Mo suddenly spoke, “Old master, wasn’t the girl from the Hong family engaged to Huasong? They’re both eighteen years old now, shouldn’t we let them get married?”
“What?” Upon hearing Granny Mo say this, Mo Huaren nearly fell over.
Back when Mo Chengming was still alive, Mo Huasong was treated very well. Hence, the Mo family arranged a childhood marriage with the Hong family when he was just a few years old. Hong Yaxuan, from the third generation of the Hong family, and Mo Huasong were of the sa age and thus, were a perfect match.
At that ti, Mo Huasong was growing strong and healthy, and nobody thought there would be any issue.
However, Mo Chengming died and Mo Huasong turned into a rogue. During a banquet at the Long family, he sneaked a peek at Long Yun bathing. So, everyone knew that it was impossible for Mo Huasong and Hong Yaxuan to be together.
Yet, back then, the Hong family did not request to break off the engagent with the Mo family, and no one spoke of it in the ensuing years, causing everyone to forget about it.
Now that Huasong had beco a waste, nobody cared about him. Who would think of his engagent to whom?
Now that Granny Mo had brought this up, everyone rembered the matter.
Mo Huaren looked grim; after all, he was fond of Hong Yaxuan.
Hong Yaxuan was famous among the young gentlen in the Capital City. Not only was she an outstanding scholar, having entered university at the age of fifteen and started her own company by the ti she graduated at eighteen, but she was also extrely beautiful, with the reputation of being the most beautiful woman in the capital.
Many of the capital’s gentlen wanted to pursue Hong Yaxuan, and Mo Huaren was one of them.
Because he had been playing the fool and keeping a low profile all these years, he had not dared to openly pursue Hong Yaxuan.
However, on special occasions and festivals, he would send Hong Yaxuan small gifts and such.
Now that his martial arts prowess had soared, and the old master had openly declared him as the future head of the Mo family in the presence of everyone, he would henceforth have unrestricted access to the Mo family’s resources, he planned to openly invite Hong Yaxuan for dinner the following day.
But who would have thought that his grandmother would suddenly suggest such a thing? This ca as a huge surprise to him.
“Granny, didn’t we terminate the engagent with the Hong family when Huasong was in trouble?” Mo Huaren asked anxiously.
Such childhood engagents verbally arranged between two families carried no legal power.
If everyone was respectful, they would abide by the agreent. If they didn’t care about face or wanted to go back on their word, they could simply ignore it.
Granny Mo shook her head, “No, for so reason, the Hong family didn’t ask us to call off the engagent, and Huasong left the capital, so nobody brought it up, everyone forgot. I just thought of it, otherwise I would’ve forgotten too.”
