279: Finding the Descendant

Finding the Descendant

Huo Xuan lowered his voice, but Father Meng still heard him. He pondered quietly for a moment and suddenly thought of something. He suddenly looked up at Mo Zhu in shock and stammered, "Your master? Could he be a descendant of the Guo family?"1

Before Mo Zhu could answer, Father Meng stood up excitedly and grabbed the girl's hand. He asked excitedly, "Ms. Mo, is your master's name Guo Qing?"

Mo Zhu was not used to being suddenly held. She pulled her hand out of Father Meng's grasp with a little force and replied unhurriedly, "That's right. My master's real name is Guo Qing."

Mo Zhu thought back carefully. In all the years she had known Old Guo, he had only mentioned this name to her once on the day he took her in as his disciple. Since then, he had never mentioned his real name again. Mo Zhu had a feeling that there must be some unknown reason behind this, but she knew very little about Old Guo. She had no way of investigating the secrets behind this.

Upon hearing Mo Zhu's admission, Father Meng looked at the courtyard filled with herbs in front of him happily and muttered, "The heavens really don't let down those who work hard. I didn't expect that my family would be able to find the descendants of the Guo family again in my lifetime. This is great, this is great!"

Father Meng raised his hand and gently wiped the tears that seeped out of the corners of his eyes. He stood up excitedly and walked straight to Mo Zhu. He said seriously, "Ms. Mo, it's my honor to meet you. To be honest, I'm the heir of this generation of the Immortal Medicine Mountain. The Immortal Medicine Mountain has been planting medicine for the Guo family for so many years. We can't break our tradition here!"

As Father Meng spoke, he sighed with mixed emotions. "The world is unpredictable. Back then, no one expected the Guo family to suffer such a calamity overnight. The Guo family was gone, and the Immortal Medicine Mountain was attacked by evil people. Everyone in the family sacrificed themselves. In order to not let that group of evil people succeed, my family fled and burned the entire Immortal Medicine Mountain."

"All these years, I've been hiding in Cloud City and searching for the Guo family's descendants in secret. Although I know that the chances are slim, I've never given up. Finally, I've managed to meet you today, Ms. Mo!"

With Father Meng's detailed explanation, even Xu Huan, who was watching all of this in a daze, understood the current situation. He sighed and took two steps forward to pat the man's shoulder to comfort him. "Uncle, isn't everything better now? Don't be sad about what happened back then. Everyone has to look forward."

Although Xu Huan wasn't in Cloud City these days, through his daily contact with Huo Xuan, he had also heard that Mo Zhu's master had come to the Huo family. However, he didn't expect this girl to have such a powerful master that was actually from the Guo family.

Xu Huan had heard a lot of rumors about the Guo family. It was said that the Guo family had practiced medicine for generations and had excellent medical skills, especially when a medical genius that was hard to come by appeared many years ago. Logically speaking, with the appearance of such a person, the Guo family should have been able to achieve meteoric success and not have to worry about its development. However, for some reason, they were unlucky and suddenly suffered a calamity. After that, the news about the Guo family became completely extinct.

After Father Meng finished explaining these things and everything that had happened back then, he felt much more relieved. The past had been suppressed for a long time over the years, and it had already become a sore spot in his heart. Now that he had managed to find the descendant of the Guo family, he had finally relieved a load on his mind.

After calming down, Father Meng coughed lightly and turned to look at Mo Zhu. "Ms. Mo, if I'm not wrong, you must have recognized the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb yesterday. You specially came to our house this time for it, right?"

When Mo Zhu heard this, she nodded and replied lightly, "That's right. Since Uncle has told me all of this so honestly, I'll tell you my motive for coming here directly. I want to discuss a deal with you. From now on, provide me with these herbs grown in the courtyard and I'll give you a price 20% higher than the market price."
