C1045 The Young Master of the Mo Family
When he saw the table full of dishes, Lu Botong didn't hesitate, even though he ate a lot of good stuff in the afternoon at the casino. However, this table of dishes was much more sumptuous than the ones in the casino. It once again aroused Lu Botong's appetite.1
"Please go ahead, there's no need to be polite." Mo Qiu had a smile on his face. He signaled Zhang Fann and Lu Botong to be more casual. There was no need to be overly reserved.
To Lu Botong, being reserved was almost non-existent. No matter where he was, he would not feel awkward. No matter what, as long as there was food, he would be able to let it go. In his heart, he had always believed in one thing. That is, as long as he did not feel embarrassed, it would be someone else who would be embarrassed.
Zhang Fann had already seen how Lu Botong ate, so he did not pay any attention to him. He just drank and clinked glasses with Mo Qiu in front of him.
After three rounds of wine and five different dishes, Lu Botong was still eating, as if he was a hungry ghost who asked for food. However, Mo Qiu didn't mind and continued chatting with Zhang Fann.
Zhang Fann looked around. He said to Mo Qiu, "I remember when I was on the street, I heard those people talk about it. The Mo family is the leader of the four big families in Huatong City. They deserve their reputation today."
After hearing Zhang Fann's words, Mo Qiu could not help but reveal an awkward expression. He shook his head slightly and a trace of sadness flashed across his eyes.
Seeing Mo Qiu's expression, Zhang Fann couldn't help but frown. He thought to himself, Could it be that these people on the street didn't know what to say? Or did something happen to the Mo family recently?
However, it was better to let Mo Qiu talk about it himself. If he kept asking, Zhang Fann would also feel that it was a little impolite. Therefore, it was better not to ask too many questions.
Sure enough, not long after, Mo Qiu poured himself a cup of wine and drank it all. He sighed and told Zhang Fann the reason.
It turned out that the Mo family was indeed the best in Huatong City, just as people had said. No one could defeat them in Huatong City, be it in terms of resources or the overall strength of the family. However, in the past year, the Mo family had undergone a tremendous change.
At the beginning of this year, the four big families held a meeting. The discussion was to see if there were any rare resources on the northern mountain. If they found it, the four big families needed to evenly distribute the resources. The leaders were all the family heads.
After all, according to rumors, there were desolate beasts in the northern mountain range. It was extremely difficult to deal with them. Hence, the strongest in each family... The family head was the only one who had the most weight in the family. Therefore, after some discussion, the four families would let the family head lead the way into the northern mountain range to explore.
Although they found some rare mineral deposits in the end, there was also a huge unforeseen event. They really encountered a thousand year old desolate beast. The experts of the four great families fought with their lives on the line. They used a very heavy price to obtain the final victory.
Among them, the Mo family, as the leader of the four families, naturally contributed the most. Therefore, the casualties were quite serious. Even the head of the family was injured.
After returning to the family, the head of the Mo family, Mo Yuan, immediately went into seclusion to recover from his injuries. He wanted to recover as soon as possible. This way, all the big and small matters in the Mo family fell onto Mo Qiu.
Therefore, from that day onwards, Mo Qiu began to take care of the entire Mo family. Every day, he worked hard for the big and small matters in the family. Although it was a little strenuous, the entire Mo family was still managed in an orderly manner by Mo Qiu.
However, it was raining overnight. Just a few days after the Mo family's Patriarch Mo Yuan went into seclusion, the eldest daughter of the Zhao family, Zhao Wanying, arrived at the Mo family.
Previously, there was an engagement between Mo Qiu and Zhao Wanying. Originally, she wanted to wait until the Mid-Autumn Festival was reunited. When the two of them could get married later, the Mo family and the Zhao family could be on good terms forever. At the same time, they could also share resources and become closer to each other.
However, they did not expect that on this day, they would be able to get closer to each other. Zhao Wanying also personally tore apart the previous engagement. Furthermore, Zhao Wanying had brought the Patriarch of the Zhao Family to break off the engagement. She also told Mo Qiu that she liked Wang Xu from the Wang family. They were going to get married when summer came. She even gave Mo Qiu an invitation card and invited him to the wedding banquet. This was a huge irony to Mo Qiu.
Although he was furious in his heart, Mo Qiu still had some shrewdness in his heart. He knew that he could not be angry at this moment. After all, his father was still in seclusion. If he caused a huge disaster because of his momentary impulse at this moment, it would definitely cause the Mo family to fall into trouble. It would be a failure of his father's instructions.
Therefore, Mo Qiu could only endure and endure this matter. He adjusted his state of mind and continued to manage the Mo clan. He practically spent all his time on the Mo clan and did not think about the matters of having a son and a daughter.
However, even so, disaster would descend from the heavens. The reason why Young Master of the Wang family, Wang Xu, had come to challenge Mo Qiu was very simple. It was the problem of the resources that the four families had found in the northern mountain range. If Mo Qiu did not accept the challenge, he would bring his men to occupy the resources that belonged to the Mo family in the northern mountain range.
If Mo Qiu lost, the Mo family would have to hand over the resources to the Wang family, unless Mo Qiu could win the competition.
After hearing this, Mo Qiu felt that the other party was obviously bullying the Mo family. Moreover, Young Master of the Wang family, Wang Xu, had already reached the Seventh Layer of Mahayana Period realm, and he was only at the peak of the Fifth Layer of Mahayana Period realm. He knew in his heart that the chances of winning were very slim.
Furthermore, Mo Qiu felt that this matter wasn't as simple as it seemed. Regarding such an unreasonable matter, Mo Qiu went to look for the patriarchs of the other two families, wanting them to stand out and say something to help the Mo family.
However, the patriarchs of the other two families expressed that this matter was very simple. They also agreed with this competition. As long as Mo Qiu could defeat Wang Xu, then he would have the right to not give the Wang family any resources. Furthermore, the patriarchs of the two major families also expressed that they would observe this competition and ensure that it was fair and fair, so that Mo Qiu could rest assured.
Hearing the words of the two Patriarchs, Mo Qiu frowned. He felt a little upset. This matter was clearly because they wanted to take advantage of the moment when the Patriarch of the Mo Family was in seclusion to harm the Mo Family. That was why they had used such a grand reason to challenge the Mo Family.
Helpless, Mo Qiu calmed down and thought about it carefully. Although the chances of him defeating Wang Xu would not exceed thirty percent, it was still better than zero. Since that was the case, he needed to carefully study how he could defeat Wang Xu.
After a period of investigation, Mo Qiu found out that the cultivation technique of his family had been leaked. In other words, some of the senior elders of the Wang family would analyze the cultivation technique of the Mo family. This way, Wang Xu would be able to know himself and his enemy, and he would be able to win a hundred battles.
