Chapter 237: A Mother’s Love.
"Do you know who that is?"
"How would I know?"
"But why do I feel he’s very important?"
The disciples were discussing in a loud voice about the three people that just entered. Since they arrived at the capital, they had not gone out.
Thus, many were confused and shocked why some unknown Young Master would visit their sect.
Peng Zhao was quiet. He stared at the door leading to the upper floor with a thoughtful expression.
’Why do I feel I know them from somewhere?’ He mused and shook his head.
The female attendants looked at the disciples, and their lips curled up with a knowing smile.
Apart from the disciples, the others were also curious about the three new arrivals, but the three did not bat an eye at them.
"What is going on?" Elder Hang Gang asked.
"We don’t need to know what is going on. The sect master would reveal everything to us when it is time." Elder Duang Jie replied and returned to her room.
On the fifth, Elder Bai and Supreme Elder Zhao looked at the newcomer with a bright smile on their faces.
For the Sect Master and his wife, confusion marred their faces. Were they not expecting their son? Who are these people?
Elder Luo Zhen wore a puzzled expression. Like the sect master and his wife, he chose to keep quiet.
Quickly, they all settled down inside the room, and the sect master could not contain his curiosity and asked.
"Supreme Elder Zhao, Elder Bai... could you please tell us what is going on?"
Hahahahah!
Both Elder Bai and Supreme Elder Zhao laughed heartily. Most especially, Elder Bai was deeply satisfied with the result of his creation.
"Elders, I think you already have your fun, right?" Mo Jian asked with a light smile playing on his lips.
Although he was in disguise, he couldn’t help but be happy. The Disguise mask worked perfectly as they envisioned.
Slowly, Mo Jian took off the mask.
Instantly, his body changed, reverting to his true self. Beside him, Zhao Tian and Elder Li Huang also took off their masks.
This...!
The Sect Master and his wife widened their eyes in disbelief. His wife opened her mouth to speak, but the words failed to come out.
Seated beside Elder Bai, Elder Luo Zhen was frozen but for a different reason.
’What a magical artifact.’ He exclaimed in his mind.
His hand itched as he couldn’t wait to get his hands on it. Although he had focused his attention on weapon refinement, he still dabbled in others.
"Father, mother..." Mo Jian said with a smile, unsure of how to continue.
The Sect Master looked at his only son and his face turned into a prideful grin.
"You, this rascal..."
He could barely complete his statement when he felt the deadly glare of his wife. Quickly, he swallowed back whatever he wanted to say and chuckled.
Ignoring her husband, the sect master’s wife rose to her feet and approached her son.
"Finally, my son..." She cried, rubbing Mo Jian’s hair affectionately. Her hand moved quickly, and she began to check his body.
"Why are you lean? Are you not eating on time?" Her voice was full of love and concern. "I can’t accept this..."
Looking at his worried sick mother, Mo Jian’s eyes brightened, filled with love and happiness.
His mother would never change. No matter how strong and powerful he became, she wouldn’t stop worrying about him. This alone superseded everything.
But when he saw the look on Zhao Tian’s face, his face shifted into embarrassment.
Elder Bai and Supreme Elder Zhao grinned, looking at the son and mother duo.
"M-Mother... I’m alright. I’m growing stronger each day." Mo Jian tried to stop his mother from checking his body only to be refuted coldly.
"What do you know? You might be growing stronger and not taking care of yourself." She held his arm. "Look, there isn’t enough muscle. How could I accept this..."
She turned to her husband.
"What do you think of our son’s body? Don’t you think we need to find a young beautiful maid to help him?"
The Sect Master looked at his smiling wife’s face but knew better. That was no smile but a hidden dagger, and he did not want to test the dagger’s lethality.
"Son, your mother is right. You need a maid to take care of you. You are too thin which is not good." The Sect Master said with a straight face.
Everyone inside the room widened their eyes when they heard the sect master.
Thin?
The elders exchanged subtle glances and knew the sect master was only protecting himself and did not hesitate to sacrifice his son.
Zhao Tian looked at Mo Jian with pity. Young Master, there is no escape. He thought with a grin.
Liu Zexian ignored the various gazes around her and looked at her son lovingly.
"You heard that? Your father even supports me."
"Little Zhao, don’t you think your friend needs a maid?" She turned and asked Zhao Tian.
"Ah!" Zhao Tian was stunned. He did not expect he would be dragged into the sect master’s wife’s drama.
Mo Jian looked at him and glared. Say nonsense and you will pay. He said with his eyes.
Zhao Tian understood this but looked at Liu Zexian’s harmless smile. He shuddered and his palm began to sweat.
Supreme Elder Zhao looked at his grandson and hoped he would be tacit like the sect master.
Zhao Tian did not see his grandfather’s gaze. He forcefully swallowed the lump in his throat and forced out a righteous smile.
"Ma’am, I agree with you. I’ve even been advising the Young Master to take a wife but he refused. I think a maid is too low for the young master. We need to help him find a virtuous beautiful wife that takes care of his needs."
When everyone heard this, they widened their eyes in disbelief. Zhao Tian’s act of bootlicking was on another level.
Compared to him, the sect master was still a novice.
Liu Zexian was shocked for a moment before her smile brightened.
"Hahah. Little Zhao is right. I don’t need to find a maid for my son. What he needs is a wife."
Just thinking of it made her happy and she returned to her seat but in her mind, she had begun to find a wife candidate for her son.
"M-Mother I don’t...."
"Shush! This is not up for discussion. Let me think, I need to find the best suitable wife for you." She interrupted Mo Jian and smiled.
Mo Jian looked at his father and elders asking for help but all of them avoided his gaze.
Seeing this, he slumped on his seat helplessly, but he did not forget to glare at Zhao Tian.
