Unflappable as Mount Tai, unruffled as the valley streams.
This was Chen Grandma’s first impression of Mo Han, who, despite possessing unparalleled dical skills, displayed not a hint of arrogance or impetuousness. Whether in speech or conduct, he was like the gentle breeze of March, making one feel thoroughly at ease all over.
"Wait a mont!"
Chen Grandma called out softly and slowly made her way over, actually intending to bow to Mo Han.
"This..."
Qin i’er, Xue Qingniu, and Gui Nongsang were instantly shocked!
Chen Grandma was not only the mother of the Martial Alliance Grandmaster Chen Bingbing, but in her youth, she was also the personal bodyguard of a powerful female figure in the Jiuzhou political scene, reputed to have been as close as sisters. Her status was extraordinarily high.
Ordinarily, it should be others bowing to Chen Grandma, not her bowing to anyone else.
Yet Mo Han was Chen Grandma’s lifesaver. The chronic illness lurking in her body had been cured by Mo Han’s intervention; he even helped restore her martial cultivation.
Logically, it was only natural for Chen Grandma to bow to her savior.
"Grandma, there’s no need for such formalities, it was but a small effort on my part."
Just as Grandma was about to bend at the waist, Mo Han’s right hand gently lifted, and a breeze-like flow of energy lifted Chen Grandma back to her feet.
"Is this... True Qi Manifestation?"
Grandma looked up at Mo Han, her eyes filled with surprise and reverence.
Born into a Martial Family, she began learning martial arts at the age of three, broke through to the Houtian Realm at nineteen, stepped into the Innate Realm at twenty-eight, and ascended to the Profound Rank at thirty-five. Her understanding of martial arts was second to none.
Apart from those few old immortals and Bingbing, she had never seen anyone else capable of manifesting True Qi outwardly.
So young, yet capable of True Qi Manifestation, which ant his cultivation level was at least on par with Bingbing’s!
Bingbing, a rare genius eminently gifted in martial arts, took more than twenty years to reach this stage. And those old immortals, none had less than fifty years of training.
But how old was Mister Mo? Thirty? No, he must only be around twenty-five or twenty-six!
Even if he began cultivating from the womb, it couldn’t be this terrifying, could it?
Could he be a disciple cultivated by a secluded master from the deep mountains?
With doubt in her heart, Chen Grandma probed, "I heard i’er address you as Mister Mo. You’re young, yet both your dical and martial skills are peerless. May I ask, Mister Mo, whose disciple are you?"
Qin i’er, Xue Qingniu, and Gui Nongsang at this mont lifted their heads, their gazes fixed intently on Mo Han.
They too were curious about which sect could have nurtured such an exceptional figure.
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Mo Han shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, "Grandma, what if I say I belong to no sect, would you believe ?"
"I believe!"
Unexpectedly, Chen Grandma nodded and responded, "I’ve muddled through the martial world for forty or fifty years, and I have so understanding of various sects."
"In the past four to five decades, among the young talents in both martial arts and dical skills, none could compare to Mister Mo."
"If I’m not mistaken, Mister Mo’s master must be a reclusive expert from Mount Tai, and it must be inconvenient for him to reveal his identity, is it so?"
At twenty-eight, Chen Grandma once encountered a reclusive expert scrounging als in a small tavern at the foot of Mount Tai.
The expert was eccentric, choosing to share a table with her despite the many vacant tables nearby. When she inquired about his na and sect, he did not respond.
Yet his martial skills were astonishing. He could take dishes and utensils from nearby tables through the air, a feat that terrified her. To know taking objects through the air was sothing not even an Innate Realm Earth Ranked Expert could do.
The man later said, "Since I’ve eaten your al, let teach you a few moves."
With those few moves, she broke through to the Innate Realm within half a month.
This experience in her youth left Chen Grandma with a deep sense that the Jiuzhou continent was full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, especially the naless reclusive experts who must not be provoked.
In her view, Mo Han was very likely the disciple of that reclusive expert from Mount Tai she t in her youth.
"Um..."
Mo Han wanted to deny it, but he was afraid she would question his background, and he certainly couldn’t tell them that he was struck by a bolt of heavenly lightning and received the legacy of the Purple Heaven dical Immortal, could he?
Even if he did tell, it was doubtful she would believe him, right?
With that in mind, he changed the topic ambiguously, "My master enjoys roaming the world, and it has been so years since he visited Mount Tai."
"Grandma, our eting is fated," he continued.
"To heal and treat your illness was rely convenient for , and there’s no need to dwell on it."
Turning to Qin i’er, he smiled, "Moreover, today’s smooth opening ceremony for Ning’er’s business was thanks to Miss Qin’s intervention."
"Grandma, Miss Qin, I have so matters to attend to at ho, so I’ll take my leave."
"Mister Mo!"
Just as Mo Han was about to leave for the second ti, Qin i’er spoke up. She sohow produced a gold order token the size of a palm and handed it over, "This is the Qin Family’s Huan Mountain Order. Whoever holds this token may mobilize the forces of the Qin Family’s main and branch houses."
"This order token is of no use to ; I’d like to give it to Mister Mo today. Please don’t refuse."
Mo Han shook his head and declined, "Miss Qin, I appreciate your kindness, but the order token is of no use to ."
"Mister Mo, you may not be aware,"
Xue Qingniu stroked his beard and said solemnly, "The Huan Mountain Order—there are only two in the entire Qin Family. Apart from the old master of the Qin Family, only Miss Qin here has one."
"Whoever possesses the Huan Mountain Order can command all of the Qin Family’s clannish powers. In Jiuzhou, the Qin Family’s influence is vast, even more extensive than the top-ranked Ye Family. With this, you could give Nie Zhenyuan a hundred tis the courage, and he still wouldn’t dare to lay a finger on you or your family mbers!"
