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 abandoned, and he also envied others, but it was of no use.
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. Bailixu thought, even if his father recognized him, he would not be able to do better than the master, so what else could he do?
What's the 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.
By now, he no longer cares about this father, and there is no need to recognize his ancestor and return to the clan. He likes the Wuji Sect, likes the master, the master and his uncle, as well as the young master and Miss Bai... everyone is his
Relatives, why do we need those cold so-called blood relatives of the Mo family?
Bailixu 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 short beard.
Regardless of his appearance or temperament, this steward He does not look like a servant, but is as gentle and elegant as a learned man.
He nodded reservedly and said: "I'm disturbing the shopkeeper. I have no choice but to disturb you in the middle of the night. Our young master has an important guest here, so I came to see you overnight. Please forgive me."
The shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that he was here for the guests. It would be better if he wasn't the one. The Mo family was powerful and they had the final say in the entire Yongzhou City. They really couldn't afford to offend him! As for whether he was a guest or an enemy, he just didn't care.
Not available.
"I see, it's easy to talk about." 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 were Steward He and a group of tall servants. What was surprising was that Steward He did not restrain his aura, and one could tell at a glance that he was a Golden Elixir monk.
The Golden Core Stage monks are in charge. After all, the Mo family is a family with a long heritage. How awesome!
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, Guanshi He stretched out his hand to support himself and said with a slight 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 hatred overnight? The fifth master feels sorry for you.
Mother and son, they have also 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 look for 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, you don't seem to have any malicious intent when you bring people in in the middle of the night."
"Yes!" Ying Shaoguang said, "You say please, but what if you 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 caused my only parent to live abroad. 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 if I have caused any offense."
His attitude was very low-key and his words were beautiful. Neither Ling Bufei nor Ji Xingge could find fault and could only wait for Baili Xu to make his own decision.
"Young Master." Steward 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 there was no trace of you. Over the years, he has regretted and felt sad when he thought of you. You
Even if you don't want to go back to Mo's house, how about meeting 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 gaze on him for a while, then looked at his friends. He thought about it again and again, and finally relaxed: "Is it just a meeting? If I don't want to stay, you won't 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: "The carriages and horses have been prepared downstairs, please, young master."
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 another word, Baili Xu went back to his house, 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.
Bailixu 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 won't tell you such a thing!"
"This young master seems to be a monk. He has many resources after joining the Mo family. I'm really envious."
"Isn't that true? When will someone suddenly come to my door and tell me that I am a wandering young master from some aristocratic family?"
"Okay, okay, we have to deliver goods tomorrow. What sweet dreams do you have? Go back and rest!"
Baili Xu curled up his lips and got into the Mo family's gorgeous carriage, feeling calm.
