147: 146.
You are Jiuli!
It’s great that you are still alive.
147: 146.
You are Jiuli!
It’s great that you are still alive.
Upon hearing this, Mo Chenyun looked over, and the moment he laid eyes on Mo Jiuli, he was taken aback.
Even him, who usually had his eyes only on cultivation, was struck by her extreme beauty…
However, he usually spent all his time on cultivation and had little interest in other matters.
He merely glanced at her, before quickly moving his gaze back to Mo Chenluo and asking, “Who is she?”
Mo Chenluo was taken aback, looking at Mo Jiuli he noticed that she looked different than before!
He winked at Mo Jiuli and seeing his gesture, she had no choice but let the Little Book dispel the illusion on her face.
Symbolically, she waved her hand in front of her face…
When Mo Chenyun saw Mo Jiuli’s true face for the second time, he was completely petrified!
He somewhat trembled as he walked to Mo Jiuli, his eyes flashing various emotions – shock, excitement, realization, sorrow, grief, loss, guilt, self-blame…
Mo Jiuli frowned deeply at the sight.
Her uncle seemed to be different from the rumors.
Or more precisely, the relationship between him and her mother seemed different from the rumors…
Words were unnecessary; she saw from his gaze that he deeply cared for her mother.
Her face reminded him of his younger sister…
“You are Jiuli!
You are still alive, that’s wonderful…” As Mo Chenyun spoke, a tear fell from his eyes.
Mo Chenluo and a few Elders of the Mo family watched in confusion, unsure of what had happened…
“Third Uncle, are you okay?” Mo Jiuli asked somewhat awkwardly.
Honestly, seeing Mo Chenluo’s tears made her uncomfortable.
It was a blood tie among family members that made her unconsciously feel sad when her kin were sad, and happy when they were happy…
Even though her soul wasn’t the real Mo Jiuli, her bloodline was…
“I’m fine, I’m just so happy to see you,” Mo Chenyun wiped his eyes and resumed his usual indifference.
“Jiuli, when did you come back?” Mo Chenyun scrutinized Mo Jiuli and asked.
“Third Uncle, do you know something?” Mo Jiuli asked in confusion.
It seemed that her uncle knew something related to her or, perhaps, something about her mother.
“Right, Third Brother, what happened to you?
I’ve never seen you like this before!” Mo Chenluo asked curiously as well.
The Four Elders of the Mo family felt entirely ignored.
They had to reassert their presence!
And of course, dear Mo Baobao had the same idea…
So, just as the Four Elders were about to speak, Mo Baobao was the first to act.
She tugged at Mo Jiuli’s sleeve and blinked her big eyes, asking, “Mom, is this Maternal Uncle?”
“Yes, Baobao, this is mom’s Third Uncle, you call him Third Maternal Great Uncle.
This is mom’s younger uncle, you can call him Younger Maternal Uncle.
These others…
you can call them Great Ancestors!” Mo Jiuli looked towards the Four Elders of the Mo family.
“Hello, Great Ancestors, hello Maternal Uncle, hello Third Maternal Great Uncle!
My name is Mo Baobao, these are pills that I refined myself…
um…
they’re all poison!
These are for you, Great Ancestors, and Uncles for self-defense!” Baobao obediently greeted them.
Her adorable voice, along with her cute appearance, immediately made the four old men forget what they were about to say.
“Ah, such a well-behaved child!
Come here, Great Ancestor has gifts for you too…” One of the Elders of the Mo family happily accepted the pills Baobao handed over.
Naturally, they didn’t believe Baobao made these pills.
Baobao was still so small, how could she possibly refine pills?
They assumed Mo Jiuli gave the pills to Baobao, but regardless, they still responded cheerfully.
Baobao didn’t care what they thought.
Her goal was to exchange the poison she refined during her spare time for treasures!
Mom had once said that this was called a greeting gift…
A greeting gift is essentially a small present you give when you meet a tycoon or an elder.
Following that, you would get many, many return gifts…
As she watched the Four Elders continuously handing out one treasure after another, Mo Chenluo came back to his senses and looked at the bottle of pills Baobao stuffed into his hands.
Without opening it, he could tell the pills were of high quality.
Of course, he also thought that Mo Jiuli had given these to Baobao!
After all, who could have believed that Baobao, a four-year-old girl, could refine pills…
But, this was his first formal meeting with Baobao.
As her maternal uncle, of course, he couldn’t fall behind.
He immediately rummaged through his Space Ring and pulled out many treasures for Baobao…
Mo Jiuli watched the scene before her, her lips twitching.
She stared at her daughter, who was receiving gifts without any hesitation.
She really wanted to hide somewhere where no one could find her.
This child was absolutely not hers!
She was very ladylike, not money-minded at all!
She wished she could say Baobao was picked up by her…
Mo Chenyun, who had been standing on one side, had been stunned ever since he heard Mo Jiuli say that Baobao was her daughter.
When he finally came back to his senses, he found his younger brother and the few Elders of the Mo family were trying their hardest to please Baobao with gifts.
He suddenly felt a bit awkward.
Because he had gone into seclusion for many years, he didn’t even have a Space Ring on him, let alone any treasures…
However, he curiously asked Mo Jiuli, “Jiuli, this child?”
“She’s my daughter!
Five years ago…” Mo Jiuli briefly retold the events of five years ago.
She initially thought that Mo Chenyun would get angry, like her younger uncle, after hearing her story.
To her surprise, after hearing her words, Mo Chenyun only looked stunned, then turned to look at Baobao, who was now smiling brightly because she received a lot of treasures…
“Third Uncle, do you know something about Baobao…” Seeing the sympathy in Mo Chenyun’s eyes as he looked at Baobao, Mo Jiuli felt hopeful.
Perhaps her third uncle knew something!
“This isn’t the place for discussing things.
We should move somewhere else and then discuss!” Mo Chenyun directly interrupted Mo Jiuli, his eyes then flickered towards a spot in the small yard, and his expression turned cold.
Mo Jiuli was a smart person.
Although the Elders of the Mo family were busy pleasing Baobao, they were still listening very carefully to what Mo Jiuli was saying.
When they heard what Mo Chenyun said, they quickly looked towards his gaze, but they didn’t notice anything unusual…
However, they were not stupid.
They were visiting this courtyard for the first time!
But Mo Chenyun had been staying here for countless years…
Mo Jiuli immediately addressed her daughter, “It’s enough, Baobao!
You can’t just ask Great Ancestors for so many gifts!
It’s pointless to ask for too many things that you won’t use.
Rather, you should choose the higher-level ones which are useful.
Understand?” She then subtly winked at her daughter.
“Oh, Mom, I get it!
Later when we go back, I’ll return the useless treasures to Great Ancestors and exchange them for useful ones!” Baobao replied very earnestly.
