At the same time, at the Mo residence. "What did I tell you? Look at what you've done!" In the study, Mo Chen slammed the table and flew into a rage. Mo Yan stood opposite the old man with her head lowered. Her eyes were filled with shock and anger. She had only just received the news that Ah Da had been killed by Meng Fanchen! That sixteen-year-old youth actually had such means and determination. Ah Da is our Mo Family's servant. Meng Fanchen killed him, he simply didn't put the Mo Family in his eyes! "Grandpa, you don't have to be angry. Ah Da was just a servant, so it was fine if he died. After all, his surname wasn't Mo. On the other hand, Meng Fanchen was too bold. Even if he wanted to beat a dog, he had to look at his master. Not only did he hit our Mo family's dog, he even killed it!”Mo Yan said angrily. "You still have the nerve to say that!" Mo Chen shouted angrily. You've grown up and don't take my words to heart, do you? What did I warn you about? You've forgotten everything!”"I wouldn't dare." Mo Yan was shocked. Only then did she know that her grandfather was really angry and she quickly knelt down. Mo Chen pointed out the window and reprimanded,""Hmph, it's fine if that servant is dead, but you're still staring at Meng Fanchen. You're really short-sighted and don't know what's important! Do you know the meaning of your actions? The fight between the younger generation was their business. As elders, we shouldn't interfere. This was the rule! Now that you're looking for trouble with Meng Fanchen, you're breaking the rules. Who knows how many people are watching us as a joke!”"Grandfather, please calm down. Anger is harmful to the body. It was Mo Yan's fault for dragging down the Mo family. Mo Yan would do whatever Grandpa told her to do! However, his granddaughter could not take it lying down. That Meng Fanchen was too despicable and shameless. He first tricked me into entering the Martial Arts Hall. Later, she hid in the dormitory and didn't come out no matter how much I cursed. Once I left, he killed Ada. He's really sinister and shameless!" Mo Yan reported. "Oh, is that so?" Mo Chen frowned. This was the first time he had heard of this information, and his eyes could not help but flash. He took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart. He stroked his beard and muttered,"I've heard of this Meng Fanchen before. He wrote poems a few years ago and gained early wisdom. However, his aptitude was middle-grade and he was not of great use, so he gave up on recruiting him. Now, it seemed to be interesting.”After a pause, Mo Chen knocked on the table with his finger."Someone, bring that box over.”There was someone waiting outside the door. Soon, a box was carried in. The box was neither big nor small, but it was a little heavy. The servant carried it with his hands and placed it beside the desk. "Grandpa, what is this?" Mo Yan asked curiously when she saw the wooden box. "Why don't you open it and take a look?" Mo Chen narrowed his eyes, his tone a little complicated. Mo Yan stood up, lifted the wooden cover, and looked inside. Instantly, her expression changed, and her pupils shrank to the size of a needle tip. She could not help but take a big step back and let out an uncontrollable cry. The wooden cover in his hand also fell to the ground. Without the wooden lid, the contents of the wooden box were presented to everyone. It was a corpse! It was obvious that this corpse belonged to Ada. It had been placed in a box. Scarlet blood accumulated inside. Mo Yan's beautiful face turned pale and she took another big step back. Her stomach boiled and she almost vomited on the spot. Even though she was a Rank two Gu Master, she had experienced many things and had killed people before, but this was the first time she had seen such a disgusting scene. The corpse in the box had obviously been put in by someone. A bloody aura filled the entire study. The hands of the servant carrying the box were trembling, and his face was pale. Although he had already seen the box and vomited, he still felt a wave of fear and disgust when he looked at it now. Among the four people in the study, only Elder Mo Chen's expression remained unchanged. He glanced at the corpse in the box indifferently and said slowly to Mo Yan,"This box was placed by Meng Fanchen at my back door this morning.”" What? It's really him?!" Mo Yan was greatly shocked. The image of Meng Fanchen could not help but appear in her mind. The first time she saw Meng Fanchen was at the inn. At that time, Meng Fanchen was sitting by the window and eating quietly. His face was ordinary, his eyes were dark, his body was thin, and his skin was pale like a teenager. He was clearly such an ordinary and quiet youth, but he actually did such a crazy thing! After the horror, it was followed by fury. Mo Yan shouted,"This Meng Fanchen is too arrogant! He actually dared to do this. This is a provocation to our Mo family! I'll go over now and bring him over for questioning!!”As he spoke, he was about to walk out. "Bastard, stop right there!”Mo Chen was even angrier than her. He grabbed an inkstone from the desk and threw it out. The hard and heavy inkstone hit Mo Yan's shoulder and fell to the ground with a thud. "Grandpa!" Mo Yan covered her shoulders and exclaimed. Mo Chen stood up and pointed at his granddaughter. His tone was very excited."Looks like you've been training for nothing all these years. You've really disappointed me! To deal with a mere Rank one initial stage Gu Master, not only did you have to mobilize so many people, you were also led by the nose by the other party. Now, you're blinded by anger. Do you still not understand the meaning of Meng Fanchen's actions?”"What does it mean?" Mo Yan was puzzled. " Hmph!" Mo Chen snorted." If Meng Fanchen wanted to provoke him and blow this matter up, why didn't he place this box at the main entrance where people come and go? Why did he place it at the back door where people rarely go?"”"Could it be that he wants to reconcile? No, since they had reconciled, wouldn't it be better to apologize in person? Why did he have to give her this box? This is simply a provocation!" Mo Yan said. Mo Chen shook his head and nodded. He had placed the box at the back door because he wanted to reconcile. Placing a corpse in the box was a provocation.”"Look." The old man pointed at the box." He put the body in the box. No one knows what's inside. He just wants to tell us that he doesn't want to make a big deal out of this and wants to settle things peacefully. However, if our Mo Family continues to hold on to this matter, he will make the matter of the box public and completely blow this matter up. At that time, both sides would suffer. The entire sect will know that our Mo family broke the rules first. The future head of our Mo family is actually so weak that he needs the elders to dote on and protect him.”When Mo Yan heard this, she was stunned for a moment. She had never expected Meng Fanchen to have such a deep meaning behind his actions. "This method is really brilliant." Mo Chen sighed." It's just a move, but it's both hard and soft. There's a basis for advancing and retreating. This simple box not only represents Meng Fanchen's intention to compromise, but it's also his threat to our Mo Family. However, our Mo family has really been grasped by him. If the Mo Family's reputation was damaged because of this, the Chi Family would be in trouble and the Sect Leader's line would be attacked.”"Grandpa, aren't you overestimating him?" Mo Yan asked in disbelief. He was only sixteen years old.”"Think highly of it?" Mo Chen looked at his granddaughter unhappily." It seems that you've been used to everything going smoothly these years. You've developed the habit of being arrogant and can't see reality clearly. Meng Fanchen was calm in the face of danger and tricked you into entering the Martial Arts Hall. Later, he was quick-witted and hid in the dormitory to avoid disaster. Then, he let you insult him but didn't force himself. This was forbearance and calmness. After you left, he killed Ada immediately. He was determined and brave. Now that he sent this box over, it was clearly a scheme. Do you think I'm overestimating him?" Mo Yan was dumbfounded. She really did not expect her grandfather to admire Meng Fanchen so much. She said indignantly,""Grandpa, he's just a middle-grade talent.”Mo Chen stroked his beard and sighed. It was a pity that he only had middle-grade talent despite having such wisdom. As long as his aptitude is one level higher and he is a high-grade, he will definitely be the future leader of our Qingcheng Monastery. It's a pity that he only has middle-grade talent." The old man's sigh was filled with emotion. He seemed to be regretful, but also glad. Mo Yan was silent. The image of Meng Fanchen appeared in her mind again. Under her psychological influence, Meng Fanchen's originally frail face was now shrouded in a mysterious and dangerous shadow. "This matter was caused by you. What do you think?" Mo Chen suddenly broke the silence and started to test Mo Yan. Mo Yan pondered for a while before saying in a cold tone,"Ah Da is just a slave. Meng Fanchen was only a middle-grade talent, which was a small matter. The most important thing is to protect the Mo family's reputation. In order to settle this matter, we might as well chase away Ah Da's entire family and show the sect that we uphold the rules.”"Yes, it's good that you can look at the big picture and temporarily put aside your personal feelings to protect the interests of the Mo family. However, this method was still not appropriate.”Mo Chen stroked his beard and commented. "Grandpa, please discipline me." Mo Yan bowed. " You started this," Mo Chen said." Grandfather will punish you with seven days of confinement. From now on, don't cause trouble for Meng Fanchen." Ah Da's subordinates have offended their superiors. A servant has offended his master. He deserves to die. His crime should be punished! Since he was a servant of the Mo Family, the Mo Family was responsible for not disciplining him properly. He would compensate Meng Fanchen with thirty primeval stones. As for Ada's family, he would give them a subsidy of fifty primeval stones and expel them from the residence.”"Rest well at home for the next seven days. Don't go out." At the same time, he had to think about the deep meaning behind his grandfather's decision.”"Yes, Grandpa."
