Zeng Chen had just woken up from the world of consciousness when he heard the concern and condolences from his side.
Although the memories in his mind had already been integrated into his own, Zeng Chen was facing a group of people he had never met before. Naturally, he couldn't immediately start to get close to them.
Other than a sense of unfamiliarity, he didn't know what to say. However, there was an urgent question in front of him that he had to ask. He needed to know how long he had been unconscious because he had promised Yaoguang that he would go back and help her break the spell. Putting everything else aside, the 10,000-year-old Qilin Dry was enough to move his heart.
Looking at the resolute face, sword-like eyebrows, star-like eyes, and a short crescent beard on his chin, he gave people the impression of being capable and decisive.
"Cho…Uncle Qiu, I want to know how long I've been unconscious.”Zeng Chen asked unnaturally.
"15 minutes. Nephew, I told you not to follow us. You're just causing trouble. Don't you trust your Uncle Qiu? Isn't it just a cultural relic? Uncle Qiu will bring it back for you…" Mo Sanqiu stared at his eldest nephew, who had caused him so much trouble, and began to ramble on, as if he was about to give a long speech.
"Ahem, Uncle Qiu, Ah Pan, stop for a moment. I have something important to ask you to promise me.”Zeng Chen stared at the group of people around him and said seriously. At the same time, he was thinking about how to convince the old foxes in front of him except for Young Master H.
"I say, you brat, what the hell is wrong with you? Why are you playing so deep with your Uncle Qiu? If you have something to say, say it quickly!”Mo Sanqiu looked at his nephew's sudden change in attitude and was a little confused.
Ah Pan and Young Master H also looked at Zeng Chen in confusion, while Liu Yi was still lying there motionless. Zeng Chen had an idea.
"Oh, I want to go back for a while. I want to go back to that corpse cave. I have an extremely important matter to do! We have to go back!"
"F * ck! Moxie, are you out of your mind? Or was it poisoned by the corpse bug just now? Come and let me touch it. Do you have a fever?”Young Master H couldn't wait to speak after hearing Zeng Chen's words. He reached out to touch Zeng Chen's forehead.
In fact, it was not Young Master H's fault. After all, it was his first time on the ground. The scene in the cave just now had indeed scared him.
Zeng Chen slapped away Young Master H's outstretched hand, but his eyes were fixed on Mo Sanqiu. He looked into his eyes and had no intention of backing down. Mo Sanqiu also understood his eldest nephew. Although he was always making stupid noises about protecting the treasure and handing it over to the country, he was still a very steady person.
It was his personality that made him dote on this nephew even more. He had no children, and he still needed to carry the burden of the Mo family in the future. Moreover, everyone had just experienced a series of dangers in the corpse cave, so he should know.
However, his nephew still made this request, which made Mo Sanqiu somewhat puzzled. Thinking of this, Mo Sanqiu suddenly became interested and said,"
"Tell us, give us a reason. It's not like you didn't see the situation in the corpse cave just now. It was extremely dangerous and there were seeds. If you don't give me a reasonable explanation, I'll treat your immature behavior as unreasonable!”
Mo Sanqiu looked at Zeng Chen calmly. Although he was smiling, he seemed to be pressing down on Zeng Chen with an imposing aura.
Zeng Chen's heart skipped a beat when he felt an imposing aura coming at him. A phrase flashed across his mind. He didn't need to be angry to be imposing! As expected of Mo Sanqiu. To be able to shoulder the Mo Clan's burden alone, he was indeed not a simple person. This kind of aura gave people a very strong sense of oppression.
He who is not in his position does not seek his own government. If you didn't experience it personally, you would never understand the pressure of facing such a character.
Looking at Mo Sanqiu in front of him, Zeng Chen suppressed the discomfort in his heart. He thought that he would lose to Mo Sanqiu, but he would not lose to Mo Sanqiu. Zeng Chen thought for a moment and said with a smile,"
"Uncle Qiu's prestige is still as great as it was in the past.”
Mo Sanqiu looked at his nephew in front of him. He was actually able to remain calm and composed under his might. He was neither servile nor overbearing, and he secretly praised him.
This kid finally had some of the Mo family's Third Master's style. Just based on this point, he was already prepared to agree to his nephew's request.
There was no reason why. A person who was steady in his work, clear in his recuperation, and could not be servile or overbearing in the face of pressure. The request made by the Third Master of the Mo family was worth accompanying him, even if it was extremely dangerous.
Although Mo Sanqiu thought so in his heart, he did not relax his mouth.
"You little brat, stop playing dumb with your Uncle Qiu. You've experienced the dangers of that place. If you don't give me a reason, I won't care.”
Although Mo Sanqiu did not seem to have any intention of backing down, Zeng Chen could feel the change in his attitude. The imposing pressure that had permeated the surroundings earlier had long since disappeared. This also meant that Mo Sanqiu had given in.
Thinking of this, Zeng Chen heaved a sigh of relief. As expected, one would not make things too difficult for one's own family. Even so, he still had to give a reasonable reason.
"Uncle Qiu, you also know that when I turned around to look at that white-robed dumpling, that Lei, she had just entered my consciousness world."
Zeng Chen told her everything that had happened between him and Yao Guang in the world of consciousness. Of course, he cleverly hid the matter of the 10,000-year-old Kirin Dry.
When he mentioned Tie Miansheng, the little brother who was lying motionless trembled slightly. Others might not have noticed it, but Zeng Chen, who was familiar with the plot, had long wanted to see Liu Yi's reaction.
As expected, his guess was correct. This Tie Mian Sheng and Liu Yi must have had a certain connection.
After everything was said, everyone was dumbstruck. Uncle Qiu and Ah Pan looked happy. After all, the South Sect didn't have as many tricks as the North Sect, and they didn't prepare much historical information.
They relied on their knowledge of Feng Shui and brute force to rob tombs. Now that they knew more about the situation in the tomb, they naturally had more confidence.
However, as Mo Sanqiu was smiling, he suddenly saw his nephew's face. His face suddenly turned bitter and he shook his head helplessly.
The others were also slightly puzzled by Mo Sanqiu's expression and behavior. Even Zeng Chen was puzzled, but he immediately understood. Then, he shook his head secretly. He didn't know what was wrong with Moxie. He actually wanted to hand it over to the country. It was a good thing to have patriotic feelings. Every country was worthy of respect and admiration.
However, when it came to practical actions, if one did not fully consider the environment they were in and the surrounding situation they would face, it would be foolish to do something willfully.
Why did he say that? Zeng Chen, who was familiar with the plot, had a clear understanding of the current situation of the Mo family, which was once one of the Nine Old Clans.
It could be said that the population was thin and the family wealth was scattered. If it weren't for Mo Sanqiu's iron-blooded methods over the years, controlling some of Hangzhou's economy, the Mo family would have long since withdrawn from being one of the ninth brothers and been replaced by others.
Even so, Mo Sanqiu still had the heart but not the strength. He was the only descendant of the family. It was one thing for him to love his country and protect his treasure. This also showed that he had such patriotic feelings. As an Easterner, everyone would respect him for this.
However, he did not see the big picture and did not understand the powerful relationship between them. Why did he say that?
After all, the Nine Factions were involved in tomb raiding and underground business. The people they came into contact with were either vicious or evil people with blood on their hands. Which big shot didn't have blood and human lives on their hands?
If this continued, not only would the Mo family collapse, but even the lives of their family members might not be guaranteed. Therefore, Moxie was too naive.
Book of Rites. There is a saying in Da Xue: cultivate one's moral character, regulate one's family, govern the country and pacify the world.
As a junior, if he couldn't make his family feel at ease and live a stable life, how could he talk about being patriotic?
Although the world was changing with each passing day, advancing with the times, and was no longer as naked as it was in the wilderness, the law of the jungle of survival of the fittest had not changed much.
But now that he had become Moxie, he naturally couldn't watch the Mo Clan continue to fall like this. However, it was still too early to think about this now.
Zeng Chen shook his head and continued,
"Uncle Qiu, if you come back with me. I will no longer be the little treasure guardian angel. You can do whatever you want with the ancient tomb. Moreover, you don't have to look so bitter and resentful. After talking to Yaoguang for so long, I believe that there shouldn't be any risks on this trip. You can rest assured.
As long as I climb up and break that jar, we can return. Besides, Uncle Qiu, didn't you teach me since I was young that we should be faithful? Since I've already promised Yaoguang, I think I should fulfill this promise.”
Zeng Chen looked at the people around him, and there was a slight change in his expression.
Whether it was Mo Sanqiu, Ah Pan, or Young Master H, they all looked at Moxie with a hint of admiration.
Yes, respect.
Mo Sanqiu looked at Moxie and thought to himself,'A fledgling brat, facing a thousand-year-old evil spirit alone, and still being able to remain calm and composed, this is truly brave!'
To be able to have sympathy for ghosts and monsters, this was the most important thing!
To make a promise to ghosts and monsters, and to fulfill it with his own body, this was a man of great righteousness!
Why would the Mo family's Third Master, who was so brave and loyal, worry that the Mo family would not prosper?
