?Chapter 171: Chapter 171: Mo Huaren’s Pride _1 Chapter 171: Chapter 171: Mo Huaren’s Pride _1 Upon hearing this, Mo Chengzhen, filled with resentment, said: “Yes, mother, don’t you know that Mo Huasong may not be Chengming’s son? Back then, when we wanted to do a paternity test, Wu Yuzhen adamantly refused; there’s something suspicious about that.”

Mo Chenghai continued, “Yes, not long after Wu Yuzhen married into our family, she became pregnant with Mo Huasong. At that time, some said that Chengming and Wu Yuzhen were in love early on, so it was not surprising that they had a child before marriage. But when I look back now, there’s a serious problem here.”

Granny Mo’s face turned unsightly. The grandson whom he had raised for so many years might be an illegitimate child. How could this not infuriate him?

Nevertheless, even if Mo Huasong is a bastard, they cannot disclose this for fear of becoming a laughing stock to the other families. Therefore, they can only swallow their humiliation silently.

Years ago, Mo Huasong brought disaster upon the daughter of the Long family; Elder Long was so furious that he wanted to kill Mo Huasong. He had to pay a hefty price to protect Mo Huasong then.

However, that year, he ruthlessly kicked out Mo Huasong, who might not be his grandson. He never wished to see him again.

The reopening of this old wound by his two sons made Granny Mo grind his teeth in fury.

Seeing Granny Mo’s anger, Mrs. Mo didn’t dare to say anything more.

Jindaoren hurriedly stepped in to mediate: “Granny, now that the Mo family has Young Master Huaren, one person who is worth ten men, you should be content.”

“Jindaoren, do you also think highly of Huaren?” Granny Mo’s face brightened with a smile.

Although his disgraceful grandson, Mo Huasong, had caused him to lose face, having Mo Huaren to restore his reputation was a good thing.

Jindaoren took a sip of his tea, then nodded and said: “Yes. Young Master Huaren, at such a young age, has attained the Innate Realm in Martial Arts. His future is boundless. Moreover, being accepted as a disciple by the Sect Leader of Sky Creation Sect is no small feat.”

“Sky Creation Sect? What is that? Is it as influential as the Cangshan Sect?” Mo Chengzhen, who was not involved in the martial arts world, was not familiar with such matters.

Mo Chengzhen only knew that the Cangshan Sect backed their Mo family. It was a powerful super sect, incomparable to any other first-level sect.

This was precisely why the Mo family had been able to stand firm in the Huaxia Nation for hundreds of years, eventually becoming one of the great families of the Huaxia Nation.

Upon hearing Mo Chengzhen talk like this, Jindaoren sneered: “Third Master, if the folks from Sky Creation Sect hear what you have said, and they take action against you, our Cangshan Sect wouldn’t dare protect you.”

“Why not?” Mo Chengzhen asked in surprise.

Jindaoren served as a envoy to the Mo family from the Cangshan Sect, and his words generally represented the Sect’s standpoint.

Now that he was saying that the Cangshan Sect wouldn’t protect him, they really wouldn’t.

Jindaoren whispered: “The Sky Creation Sect is a bit stronger than our Cangshan Sect. How do you think we can challenge them?”

“What? The Sky Creation Sect is even more powerful than you?” Mo Chengzhen was greatly startled. “Well, Jindaoren, don’t be angry, I was just joking.”

Jindaoren cast a cold glance at Mo Chengzhen and said no more.

It was no wonder Granny Mo valued the second branch of the Mo family. Just from this, it seemed Mo Chengzhen was not very reliable.

Granny Mo looked around enthusiastically at the members of the Mo family and pronounced: “Think about it, in the future, we will have both the Cangshan Sect and the Sky Creation Sect behind us. What other family can compete with us?”

“Yes, Granny, in the future, those people from the Long family won’t dare to come and bully us anymore.” Mo Chenghai said excitedly.

Having a powerful son was certainly a ticket to saving face.

As they listened to Mo Chenghai mention the Long family, their faces turned unsightly.

Years ago, because Mo Huasong peeped at Long Yun, the darling granddaughter of the Long family, while she was taking a bath, the Long family held a grudge.

The people of the Long family arrested Mo Huasong and brought him to the Mo family to demand an explanation, which angered Granny Mo to the point of slamming the table.

If it weren’t for the sake of saving face and Mrs. Mo pleading on the side, Granny Mo would not have wanted to intervene.

Although the Mo family paid a considerable sum in compensation, from then on, the Long family harbored deep resentment towards the Mo family, frequently attacking them in secret.

This greatly irked the Mo family members, but they were helpless against the Long family.

The Long family was the backbone of the Huaxia military. They had more than twenty generals, and the most powerful among them was Elder Master Long’s own younger brother, known as “Great General Long”. He was a martial artist of the Grandmaster level and had many formidable experts by his side.

More than half of Huaxia’s military experts had learned martial arts from Great General Long. Who would dare to provoke Great General Long?

Great General Long was particularly fond of Long Yun. Fortunately, he was away on military duty at that time and not at home, otherwise, he might have directly annihilated Mo Huasong.

After Granny Mo settled the matter with the Long family that year, he proposed to banish Mo Huasong from the Capital City. Mrs. Mo, fearing Mo Huasong would fall victim to the Long family’s schemes, agreed as well.

A glint flashed in Mo Huaren’s eyes: “Grandfather, as long as the family gives me all the best resources, I can try to advance to the level of Grandmaster in ten years.”

As he said this, Mo Huaren expelled his Inner Strength. A pure stream of Inner Strength emerged from his body, causing the pearwood table in front of him to levitate.

“Young Master Huaren, you are now at an Innate beginner state in Martial Arts?!” Jindaoren opened his eyes wide in disbelief.

One must know that Mo Huaren was just a man in his twenties, yet his strength was almost equal to his own. This kind of capability was frightening when spoken aloud.

No wonder the leader of the Sky Creation Sect accepted Mo Huaren as a disciple. Which sect wouldn’t wish to take in someone with such a talent?

If he had known earlier that Mo Huaren had such a high talent for practicing Martial Arts, he would have asked his Sect Leader at that time to accept Mo Huaren as a closed-door disciple.

Seeing the astonished look on Jindaoren’s face, Mo Huaren was secretly pleased.

However, Mo Huaren still feigned modesty and said: “Yes, Elder Jindaoren, I’m afraid I have embarrassed myself in front of you. My Master also said that as long as I continue to work hard and become a Grandmaster within ten years, he will hand over Sky Creation Sect to me.”

“Huh?” Jindaoren was even more shocked.

You must know, the Sky Creation Sect was even more powerful than their Cangshan Sect. If Mo Huaren became the Sect Leader of Sky Creation Sect, who would dare to offend the Mo family?

Even the Long family wouldn’t dare to provoke them.

The reason the Long family was so powerful was that Great General Long was a Grandmaster.

However, no matter how powerful the Long family was, it only had one Grandmaster-level expert.

But if Mo Huaren took over Sky Creation Sect, there would be several Grandmaster-level experts there. How could the Long family compare?

Great General Long was fully committed to state affairs and generally would not meddle in the strife between families. Unless the Long family faced the verge of extinction, he would not get involved.

“Good, good, good,” Jindaoren, lost for words, could only utter the word “good” three times.

“Granny, in ten years, the Mo family will be at its most glorious.” Jindaoren clapped his hands and announced.

Mo Chenghai asked, “Elder Jindaoren, by that time, Huaren would be almost as powerful as this Mo Batian, right?”

Jindaoren hesitated and then said: “To be honest, he might still fall a little short. After all, besides his formidable martial arts, Mo Batian has a more terrifying strength: Artifact Refining.”
