In the dead of night, Baili Xu finished his day's practice and lay down in his clothes.
His mind went back and forth, sometimes the scene at Baili's house when he was a child, and sometimes the behavior of his mother and uncle during the day.
He had no illusions about his father. When he was very young, he knew that he was an outcast, and he also envied others, but it had no effect.
Later, he entered the Wuji Sect and was accepted as a disciple by Yuan Songqiao because of his good aptitude and good nature. He finally felt what fatherly love is from his master.
The master is actually lazy, but he is very attentive in guiding him and considers everything for him. Baili Xu thought, even if his father recognized him, he couldn't do better than his master, so what did he have to regret?
There is no need to compare between a biological father whom he has never met and a master who pulled him out of a lowly situation and taught him to become an elite disciple.
Now that things have happened, he no longer cares about this father, and there is no need to recognize his ancestor and return to his clan. He likes the Wuji Sect, the master, the master, his uncle, the master, and Miss Bai... everyone is his relative, why do he need those cold so-called blood relatives of the Mo family?
Baili Xu thought about it and fell asleep quietly.
But he quickly opened his eyes and sat up suddenly.
At the same time, there was a noise in the inn. Someone knocked on the door and talked loudly.
"Who is it?" The shopkeeper who was woken up in the middle of the night was also very angry.
When he put on his clothes and came out and saw the wolf-like servants in the lobby, he immediately burst into laughter.
"Hey, who is in charge? What kind of wind has brought you here? Please have a seat." He stepped forward diligently and greeted a middle-aged man with a mustache.
Regardless of his appearance or temperament, this manager He does not look like a servant. Instead, he is as gentle and elegant as a learned man.
He nodded reservedly and said, "I'm sorry to bother the shopkeeper. I have no choice but to come here in the middle of the night. Our young master has an important guest here, so I'm sorry for coming to see you overnight."
The shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that he was here for the customers, it would be nice if it wasn't him. The Mo family is powerful and they have the final say in the entire Yongzhou City. They really can't afford to offend! As for whether he was a guest or an enemy, he couldn't care less.
"I see, it's easy to talk." The shopkeeper asked hurriedly, "But I don't know which customer the manager is looking for?"
After a while, Baili Xu heard someone knocking on the door outside.
"who?"
A polite voice came from outside: "Young Master, I am the steward of the Mo family. My surname is He. I have been ordered by the Fifth Young Master to invite you back home."
Baili Xu frowned, stood up and opened the door.
Standing outside the door was Guanshi He and a group of tall servants. What is surprising is that the steward He did not restrain his aura, and one could tell at a glance that he was a golden elixir monk.
Golden elixir stage monks are in charge. The Mo family is a family with a long heritage. How awesome!
But Baili Xu didn't give him a good look and said coldly: "I'm not a young master, you got the wrong person!"
Seeing that he was about to close the door, He Guanshi stretched out his hand to support him and said with a smile: "Don't be angry, young master. The fifth master was also deceived about what happened back then. You are blood relatives after all. How can there be any overnight feud? The fifth master deeply feels sorry for you. Mother and son, they have taken great care of Madam Baili over the years. You see, the young master just came back, and he couldn't even wait for tomorrow, so he hurriedly asked his subordinates to find someone."
Baili Xu actually didn't want to pay attention to him, but someone next to him soon opened the door, and Ji Xingge's voice came out: "What's going on? It's too noisy in the middle of the night..."
She saw the situation clearly and immediately became vigilant: "Who are you? What do you want to do?"
The doors on the other two sides were also pushed open, and Ling Bufei and Ying Shaoguang appeared at the door.
"Want to move Baili? Have you asked us?"
Several young people stared at them eagerly, but Steward He still smiled and saluted them and said: "Young ladies, please don't be impulsive. I am the steward of the Mo family. I came here to invite you to go home. I will never harm you." mean."
"Mo family?" Bai Mengjin walked out from behind Ji Xingge, "Even if you are the Mo family,
, It doesn't look like there is no malice in bringing someone in at such a late night. "
"Yes!" Ying Shaoguang said, "You say please, but what if I don't go for a hundred miles? Do you want to take action by force?"
Manager He smiled, but his tone was still as modest as ever: "You have misunderstood. It was the Fifth Young Master who heard that the Young Master was back and couldn't wait for a moment, so his subordinates came late at night. To be honest, the Fifth Young Master is still feeling weak in his knees today. I regret my oversight back then, which resulted in leaving my only parent and son homeless. I was overjoyed when I heard that the young master had returned to my hometown, so I ordered you to invite me. Please forgive me for any offense."
His attitude was very low-key and his words were beautiful. Neither Ling Bufei nor Ji Xingge had anything to say. They could only wait for Baili Xu to make his own decision.
"Young Master." Manager He's tone became more sincere, "Fifth Young Master has actually been looking for you for a long time, but unfortunately you were turned around by that man several times and no trace was found. Over the years, he has always regretted and felt sad when he thought of you. Just forget it. If you don't want to go back to Mo's house, why don't you meet the Fifth Young Master? The Fifth Young Master must be very happy to see that you are not only living well, but also such a talented person."
Baili Xu fixed his eyes on him for a while, and then looked at his friends. After thinking about it again and again, he finally relaxed: "Is it just a meeting? If I don't want to stay, won't you force me to stay?"
Manager He nodded in agreement: "Fifth Young Master only cares about your good future, nothing else matters."
"Okay." Baili Xu's expression was calm, with only a slight fluctuation in his tone. "Then I'll go see him."
Manager He smiled broadly and said, "The carriages and horses have been prepared downstairs. Young Master please come."
Baili Xu hesitated and looked at the others: "Then my friends..."
"Of course we went together." Manager He said, "These are friends of the young master, that is, distinguished guests of the Mo family."
Without saying anything else, Baili Xu went back to his room, packed up his luggage, and followed Guanshi He downstairs.
The guests in the inn were all startled. At this moment, they either opened their windows or stood at the door, whispering and watching them go out.
Baili Xu has a good ear and can hear a few conversations.
"Is this the young master of the Mo family who is living abroad? I've never heard of it!"
"What kind of family is the Mo family? They have a son living outside the family, and they won't tell you!"
"This young master seems to be a monk. He has many resources after joining the Mo family. I'm really envious."
"Isn't that so? It would be great if someone suddenly comes to my door and tells me that I am the wandering young master of some aristocratic family!"
"Okay, okay, we have to deliver goods tomorrow. Have a sweet dream, go back and rest!"
Baili Xu curled up his lips and got into the Mo family's gorgeous carriage, feeling calm.
