âUncle Yue, thereâs something I want to talk to you about. Itâs about Elder
Tang.ââ
âTell me!â
â Elder Tang already knew about the Devil Hawk and suspected Qiu Qiu, but he didnât take action immediately. Instead, he handed all the clues to meâ¦â MO Xiu told Yue Long about Elder Tangâs theory of a general achieving the feat of a thousand bones.
Yue Long fell silent after hearing that and fell into deep thought.
MO Xiu didnât bother to know that Yue Long was thinking about how to answer Mo Xiu.
After waiting quietly for a moment, Yue Long said slowly.
âI think Mr. Tang did the right thing!â âWhat do you mean?â asked MO Xiu. âWhat do you think my position is?â
Shun City Lord!â
Yue Long shook his head and said,â You donât understand what I mean. I can be considered a hero, but Iâm not a leader. Even Old City Lord Qiu Qiming, whose influence is much greater than mine, is only a hero.â
âYou meanâ¦â
âElder Tang wants to nurture you into a leader, perhaps the leader of the entire alliance.â
âI donât understand,â replied Moxiu.
Yue Long smiled and said,â No matter how great my influence is, itâs only in Shun City. But youâre different. Youâre more famous now. You can lead at least everyone in the central region to fight together.â
Moxiu fell silent, as if he had discovered something.
âWhat a leader needs is not only fame, but also the ability to drive and inspire.
The battle intent you displayed against Bobosai can drive peopleâs hearts. Among all the people Iâve met, I think only Bai Fan has this trait.â
MO Xiu nodded.
âNot only did you gain fame in the firearms war, but you also gained everyoneâs respect and trust. What you lack now is proof of your strength. This is also why Elder Tang sent you to the royal family.â
âWait!â
MO Xiu finally spoke, interrupting Yue Longâs analysis.
âUncle Yue, I understand what you said. If what you said is true, then⦠Why
was Elder Tang so eager to nurture human leaders?â
Yue Long leaned back in his chair and immediately understood. Originally, he was the one teaching MO Xiu, but now MO Xiu was teaching him. Moxiu continued,âDoes it prove that the next warâ¦â Not far away?â
Yue Long nodded with a dull expression.
âYouâre right. Itâs possible. I have to start preparing now.â
â We can start preparing in secret,â Moxiu said.â Thereâs no need to cause panic!!ââ
âUnderstood!â Yue Long replied.
After leaving the City Lord Manor, MO Xiu was still a little uneasy. There was one thing that MO Xiu did not tell Yue Long.
MO Xiu thought of a possibility. This was also based on his analysis of Elder Tangâs poor health when he came that day.
Could it be that during the war with firearms, the wild beasts attacked in a small area, but were stopped by Old Master Tang?
This could also explain why the Demon Falcon had appeared and why Qiu Chunxia was alone and helpless.
If this was true, how long could the peace that had just been restored last?
If this hypothesis was true, it would explain many things. However, from a subjective point of view, Moxiu didnât want this to be true.
If that happened, it would not be as simple as a war with firearms. It would be a
disaster for all mankind.
MO Xiu unconsciously agreed with Elder Tangâs thoughts.
In the face of a true catastrophe, Elder Tang had to control the overall situation and make a choice.
Thinking of this, MO Xiuâs determination to go to the Imperial Family became even more firm.
When he returned home, Li Yuan had already returned.
âMom, why are you back so early today?â
Li Yuan said,â I came back to talk to you. I donât want to talk about the past. I just want to ask you a question!âââ n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âGo ahead.â Moxiu nodded and replied.â
âDo you really have to return to the Imperial Family?â
MO Xiu nodded his head firmly.âMom, I have to go, whether itâs for myself or for my responsibility.â
Li Yuan sighed and said,â Alright, give me two days. Iâll deal with the things here. Then, Iâll go to Yan City with you.ââ
Li Yuanâs voice was trembling. MO Xiu was very touched. All of this was for him.
MO Xiu walked over and gently hugged his mother.
At night, Ye Qian âer and Mrs. Ye returned.
Mrs. Ye and Li Yuan went to cook while Ye Qian âer and MO Xiu sat together.
Qian âer, the college entrance examination is coming up soon. Have you decided which university you want to go to?â MO Xiu asked.â
âOf course Iâm going to Yan University. Iâm going to look for my president! â
âAlright, Yan University welcomes you.â MO Xiu smiled.â
As an older brother, MO Xiu had to fulfill his duties and accompany Ye Qian âer through actual combat training. He also told Ye Qianâ er about the experience he had summarized.
For the next two days, MO Xiuâs tasks were roughly as such. He hung out with Zheng Yi during the day and tutored Ye Qian âer at night.
Li Yuan was also very busy these two days. There were many things that needed to be handed over at work.
Two days later, April 15.
Li Yuan followed MO Xiu back to Yan City.
Originally, Moxiuâs plan was not urgent. However, after guessing Old Master Tangâs intentions, he felt that time was of the essence. Or rather, he did not know when a war would break out.
Ever since he was young, Moxiu had always been forced to advance by himself. Now, he was forced to advance by one thing after another.
After Li Yuan made up her mind, she didnât delay any longer and rushed to Yan City with MO Xiu.
In the car, Li Yuan sighed.â Itâs been so many years, but I still came back to Yan
City. I ran away from Yan City at that time.ââ
âWhy did you choose Shun City, Mom?â MO Xiu asked.â
âBecause I had only heard of Shun City. When I arrived at the train station, I bought a ticket to Shun City and stayed there for 19 years.â
âDonât you miss your grandparents?â MO Xiu asked again.â
Li Yuan looked out of the window and whispered,ââYes, and I often dream about it. I thought I would never go back again, but itâs all because of you!â âArenât you happy that I let you go home?â MO Xiu said with a smile.â
Li Yuan shook her head.â
When they arrived in Yan City, MO Xiu brought his mother back to the Cloud Top Villa to settle down.
As soon as they entered, Li Yuan said, âMo Xiu, why did you buy such a big house?â It must be very expensive at this location, right?â
âOf course itâs expensive, but I didnât buy it. Itâs a gift from Mr. Tang.â Li Yuan nodded and said,âOh, itâs Mr. Tang. How has he been recently?â I havenât seen him for more than ten years.â
MO Xiu was a little puzzled. Elder Tang had always been in the library of Shun City No.l Middle School. Since the two of them knew each other and were in the same city, they would at least meet occasionally, right? How could they not see each other for more than ten years?
âMr. Tang is fine. Maybe heâs getting on in age, so his energy isnât particularly good.â
â Yes,â Li Yuan said.â Old Master Tang is too old. But for someone like him, even time canât defeat him, right?ââ
â Yes,â MO Xiu said.â Oh right, Mom, Iâve been in Yan City for so long. Why havenât I heard of the position of the royal family?âââ
âDonât you know? I donât know either!â
