Chapter 153(1/2)
"Knock." Two soft pecking sounds came from outside the door.
Mo Tiange stopped practicing, swept his spiritual sense and removed the ban outside: "Please come in."
The one who pushed the door in was Ye Zhenji's mother, Mrs. Yan.
Mrs. Yan brought four maids and laughed before she could speak: "Senior, have you ever disturbed you?"
Mo Tiange has a little affection for this Mrs. Yan, probably because her maternal love for Ye Zhenji reminds her of her mother.
"Nothing, is there anything wrong with Madam?"
"Oh, that's right, the residence is simple, I'm afraid that my seniors will not get used to it..." As he said that, he signaled the maids to put down the things in their hands.
Mo Tiange looked at it and found that it was all flashy things used by wealthy people, so he shook his head: "Madam, you don't have to be polite. If we, the immortals, pay too much attention to external things, it would be bad. These things are useless to me, and Madam doesn't need to worry."
"This... Senior is a distinguished guest of my Ye family, I am afraid that I will not be able to greet you..."
Mo Tiange smiled faintly: "I have understood the madam's intentions. There is really no need for these external objects."
Seeing that she was so determined, Mrs. Yan had to ask all the maids to retreat.
However, after hesitating for a moment, Mrs. Yan still smiled and said, "I want to say something to my senior, but I don't know if it's inconvenient for me..."
"Mrs. Just say it."
With her permission, Mrs. Yan asked the maid to go out first and stay alone.
"Senior, logically speaking, I shouldn't disturb your cultivation for such trivial matters, but I am a mother and I always want to ask more about my son's affairs." After Mrs. Yan said, he paused for a moment and continued, "You are Zhen'er's uncle. You have been with Zhen'er a lot in the past ten years, but for such a long time, I can't even see him... Senior, are you willing to tell me about Zhen'er's affairs? Is he doing well over the years? Have you ever suffered any grievances, and how are you doing now..."
Mo Tiange has no reason to refuse such a small request. A mother who has left her for eleven years certainly wants to know more about her children.
"Madam, don't worry, he is doing well in real life. He is a disciple of the Jiedan monk. He is the one who takes care of everything, and he will not be able to do anything."
"Is that true? Does he have friends in the sect? Has he been bullied?"
When asked this question, Mo Tiange smiled: "His master is Jing and Daojun. Who dares to bully him? Besides, if you want to bully him, I will not ignore it. Don't worry, madam, this child has a gentle personality and is very popular."
"That's good." Mrs. Yan was pleased, "Zhener has been sensible since she was a child. If there is any disagreement, she will definitely not tell us. I am worried about this and I am here to disturb senior. Senior, Zhener has already had the tenth level of Qi refining, so why should she choose to leave the sect at this time?"
Seeing Mrs. Yan's worried expression, Mo Tiange explained: "I originally wanted to wait until he builds the foundation and let him come back by himself. But I really miss you and begged for a long time. It was just by chance that I happened to leave the mountain by the order of my master, so I simply sent him over here."
"So that's how it is..." Mrs. Yan's eyes turned around Mo Tiange, and suddenly asked, "Senior looks so young, how old is it?"
This sentence was really a bit abrupt. Mo Tiange was stunned. He was not worth talking about his age, so he replied: "I am now thirty-seven."
"Oh? My senior is about the same age as me, and he looks like a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old. It really makes me envious of such mortals as me."
In fact, Mrs. Yan's appearance is already quite young. Ye Zhenji is exactly twenty years old. Mrs. Yan is his biological mother. I think she is over thirty-five, but she is well maintained, with no wrinkles on her face, and she looks only about thirty years old. It is the time when a woman has the most mature charm.
But Mo Tiange did not compliment back, but instead glanced sharply over Mrs. Yan's face and asked lightly: "What does this mean by Madam?"
It would be too slow to hear that Mrs. Yan’s words were not so simple. The purpose of Mrs. Yan’s arrival was indeed not that simple.
When she saw this, Mrs. Yan was a little embarrassed and said hesitantly: "...It's nothing. Senior is about me, but she looks the same size as a real person. I really can't tell... You are his elder, and if you say you are brothers and sisters, others will believe it..."
Mo Tiange suddenly felt ridiculous and sarcastic. This Mrs. Yan was obviously worried about the indescribable relationship between her and Ye Zhenji!
But she remained silent on her face, just staring straight at Mrs. Yan.
Mrs. Yan was just a mortal. Under her unintentional pressure, she had no ability to resist and sweated. She quickly grabbed a handkerchief to wipe the sweat, but she couldn't even lift her hands. She said with difficulty: "Senior, I... If I offend you, please... please forgive me."
The other party randomly speculated about her relationship with Ye Zhenji. Although she was Ye Zhenji's mother, she also made her feel unhappy, so she deliberately did this. Seeing her showing weakness, she withdrew her pressure and said coldly: "For us immortals, what is her appearance? She is just a subcutaneous bone. Don't say this in the future."
Mrs. Yan dared not refute it. Thinking of the head of the family, she must treat this senior well. Her behavior just now might have offended the other party, so she apologized repeatedly: "Senior, please forgive me for offending. I am an ignorant woman who does not know the taboos of immortal cultivators, and I am talking nonsense..."
Mo Tiange interrupted her: "Madam, you are Zhenji's mother. You have the right to ask some things clearly. If you don't ask clearly, you won't feel at ease? Since that's the case, if you have anything to say, just say it."
Hearing that there was no anger in her tone, Mrs. Yan calmed down a little, and when she saw her behavior calmly, she couldn't help but say ashamed: "Senior, I really saw that you have a close relationship with Zhenji, and I was afraid that the child would make a mistake. You are his uncle. If that child doesn't know anything, wouldn't it hurt you to ruin your reputation?"
To be kind, Mrs. Yan is not a secret person. Mo Tiange slowed down and said, "Madam, it has been more than 20 years since the Ye family came to the secular world? Have you never been to Kunwu?"
Mrs. Yan was stunned and nodded. When she married into the Ye family, the Ye family had already been the Marquis of Changning in the Wei Kingdom, so she naturally had never been to Kunwu.
"It's no wonder you don't know the things about the world of immortal cultivation. In the world of immortal cultivation, there is no idea of human ethics in the world, and everything is only based on cultivation. The dual cultivation, age, has nothing to do with others, and no matter who Zhenji likes, it will not affect his future." Seeing Mrs. Yan's face turned pale suddenly, Mo Tiange smiled and continued, "What's more, how can you be accurate in appearance? My master, who is over 800 years old, seems to be only thirty years old. Zhenji's master also looks like Zhenji's age - Madam, Zhenji respects me like a teacher, how can there be anything difficult to talk about? Please don't be too careful, otherwise let Zhenji know, and you will inevitably be sad and embarrassed."
"..." Mrs. Yan's face turned blue and white, but she couldn't say anything. She was just a mortal woman, and she didn't know what was happening in the world of immortal cultivation. She was just a mother and worried about her children. Mo Tiange's words were so straightforward that she felt ashamed.
"Okay, I'm going to continue practicing. Madam, it's really rare to go home, so you'd better go with him more." Mo Tiange looked like he was cross-legged and closed his eyes, not wanting to say more.
Mrs. Yan blessed her blessedly and retreated.
Mo Tiange didn't care much about this. Mrs. Yan is a mortal woman, and she doesn't understand it. Mortals always think that between men and women, even if they have different ages, something will inevitably happen, but they don't know that in the world of immortal cultivation, it is the most nonsense to look at people based on their appearance.
After practicing until the evening, Ye Cheng, the head of the Ye family, sent someone to invite her, saying that she came from afar, and they arranged a banquet for Zhenji to thank him.
Mo Tiange thought about it and went to the banquet.
The second uncle entrusted her to the death and gave her the ability to take care of the Ye family. Now that she has come to the Ye family, it is also appropriate to do something within her ability.
"Senior, you are finally here, please sit down." As soon as Mo Tiange arrived at the banquet hall, Ye Cheng came forward enthusiastically. A table of banquets had been set up in the hall, and there were golden cups and silver cups, magnificent.
"...Uncle Master!" Ye Zhenji also came over, and Mo Tiange smiled slightly with him.
This is a private banquet, and not many people were present. Apart from Ye Cheng, Ye Zhenji, Ye Zhenji's father Ye Zhun, there were four people, all of whom were immortal cultivators, and their cultivation was only one or two levels, two middle-aged people, one young man and the other young man.
Ye Cheng introduced one by one: "Senior, these are the descendants of my Ye family who are not good at it, Ye Mou, Ye Yu, Ye Bing, and Ye Dun."
Ye Mou and Ye Yu are those two middle-aged people, and they sound like Ye Cheng is the same generation as Ye Zhun; Ye Bing is the young man, whose name is the same generation as Ye Zhun, but Ye Dun doesn't know what generation it is. However, according to the Ye family's naming rules, Ye Zhenji is an alternative. I wonder if it is because he was highly expected since childhood.
"Boy has met senior."
The monks of the Ye family were very respectful.
Mo Tiange was impatient with these things and said, "All of them are immortals, so these common etiquettes will be spared."
Seeing that she was not happy, Ye Cheng quickly stopped her and said with a smile: "Then according to what senior said, you can go to the table."
Everyone in the Ye family sat in the main and secondary terms. Ye Cheng ordered the meal to start, and a maid came to uncover the lid of the bowl, delicacies of the mountains and seas, and was extremely luxurious.
Ye Cheng said humbly: "The old man knows that the seniors are no longer in the world. But we have been in the world for a long time and cannot produce any good things. Although these foods are vulgar things, they are still delicious..."
Mo Tiange smiled faintly: "You don't have to be polite to the head of the Ye family."
"Yes, Grandpa, the head of the family." Ye Zhenji took over the conversation, "Uncle Master will not be surprised."
Seeing this, Ye Cheng had to say something to him: "You kid, you don't blame me for being so kind!"
Ye Zhenji was dissatisfied and was about to say something, Mo Tiange stopped him and smiled and said, "Your master and grandpa are right. If you interact with others, it's best if you do this. But there is no need to do this today. Master Ye, Zhenji was grown up because I watched him grow up, and I don't treat you as an outsider. I will avoid these false gifts."
After hearing the saying "I won't treat you as an outsider", Ye Cheng felt relieved, smiling and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, since senior said that, I'd rather obey my orders than respect."
Then, everyone persuaded them to drink or two and started chatting with Mo Tiange.
The Ye family has been away from Kunwu for decades. Now that they suddenly see a foundation-building senior, they naturally have many things to ask about cultivation. Especially the boy named Ye Dun is still a childish nature, without the restraint of a few adults. If you have any questions, you ask, and your elders scolded him a few words. However, when Mo Tiange answered one by one with a good temper, he left him. Gradually, under the adjustment of the atmosphere between Ye Dun and Ye Zhenji, the adults also let go, and this way they were all happy.
"By the way, senior," the practice was almost done, and Ye Cheng suddenly said, "There is one thing that I am a little confused about, so I will ask Senior abruptly."
"Excuse me."
Ye Cheng was quite hesitant on his face and finally asked: "I saw that the spiritual weapon given to Zhen'er by my senior seems to be not an ordinary product. I wonder where I got it from?"
Mo Tiange paused and immediately understood what he wanted to ask. The spiritual weapon in Ye Zhenji's hand refers to the Qingmu Sword, right? This sword comes from the Ye family, and the head of the Ye family has probably seen it.
After looking at Ye Zhenji, Ye Zhenji shook his head gently and said that he had said nothing. Mo Tiange smiled and said, "This thing comes from a friend of mine, and it is something passed down from her family."
"Oh?" Ye Cheng looked surprised and asked anxiously, "Maybe senior, who is your friend's name and where is it?"
Mo Tiange's face was slightly surprised: "Her surname is Ye Xiaotian - why, the head of the Ye family knows her?"
Ye Cheng was stunned again. His surname was Ye, why was his name Xiaotian? There was never such a person in the family!
"What about your friend's age and cultivation?"
"…I am the same age as me, and now I have built a foundation."
The more Ye Cheng asked, the more strange it became. This... was completely incompatible! He was not surprised if he said where to buy the Qingmu Sword, but he also said that it was Ye Xiaotian's family inheritance and a young foundation-building monk.
Mo Tiange seemed to suddenly think of it: "By the way, my friend was originally from the Immortal Cultivation Family, but later his family fell and moved to the secular world. Could it be..."
Ye Cheng's eyes lit up: "This sounds like our family, but I'm not familiar with this name."
Mo Tiange thought for a while and then said, "She originally had an uncle with his surname Ye and his name was Jiang. Does the head of the Ye family know?"
When everyone in the Ye family heard her name, they were immediately excited. The few of them looked at each other and found surprises and doubts in each other's eyes. Finally, Ye Cheng asked: "Senior, Ye Jiang? Are you sure you call this name?"
"This is natural." I knew it clearly, but Mo Tiange pretended to be calm on his face. "I remember she said that the Ye family was originally the immortal cultivation family in Qingmeng Mountain. Her father was once the most genius monk of the Ye family. He was famous at Xikunwu back then. He successfully formed a pill at just over 100 years old - the head of the Ye family, is there such a thing?"
"The most genius monk in the Ye family, who succeeded in forming pills at an age of more than 100..." Ye Cheng murmured, with a fanatical look in his eyes. Of course, he remembered that when he was born, it was the heyday of the Ye family. That genius monk brought unprecedented honors to the Ye family, but later...
Ye Zhun took over the conversation: "That is the best monk in our Ye family, with a single name of the word "hai".
"No," Mo Tiange smiled slightly, "In this way, what my friend said is your Ye family. This is really fate. Unfortunately, my friend hasn't seen him for a long time and now he doesn't know where he is, so he can't tell her."
After all, Ye Cheng was the head of the family. After being excited, he was already full of doubts: "But... our uncle has no descendants left behind..."
"I don't know this." Mo Tiange simply pushed everything. She wanted to play an outsider's role, so there were some things that could not be said too much.
The Ye family members looked at each other and gradually calmed down. Yes, that uncle had no descendants left behind at all. Where did the Ye family monks come from?
Finally, Ye Cheng said: "Senior, do you know that your friend's uncle is so good now? Can you contact him?"
Hearing this question, a hint of obscure sadness flashed through Mo Tiange's eyes and said lightly: "Her uncle has already sat down."
"What?" Everyone in the Ye family was startled.
To be continued...
