Chapter 13 caused a sensation
Chapter 13 caused a sensation
While Lin Shushu and Mo Ze were living a leisurely life of cultivating and selling medicine, little did they know that the gift Mo Ze sent back to the Mo family had already caused a huge sensation on the Imperial Star.
Since the Mo family did not deliberately conceal it, the news that Mo Ze was still alive spread throughout the Imperial Star in an instant, immediately attracting the attention of major forces.
Whether out of concern or for other reasons, all families expressed their support and visited each other to offer their condolences.
On this day, representatives from all the prominent families on the Imperial Star came to inquire about the news, and many families even sent their heads in person, including the three major families other than the Mo family.
The Mo family's spacious and bright reception room felt somewhat crowded at this moment.
"Brother Mo, where is my nephew Aze now? Why hasn't he come back? My rascal has been blaming himself for what happened before. I'd like to give him a definite answer so he can rest assured."
The first to speak was Gu Zhenliang, the head of the Gu family, who was also the father of Gu Rong, the deputy general of Moze. The two families had always had a good relationship; otherwise, Gu Rong wouldn't have become the deputy general of Moze.
"Brother Gu, I really don't know. Aze didn't say, so I guess it's not convenient for him to come back right now," Mo Kun explained with a smile.
"Aze is a dragon among men, truly turning misfortune into good fortune. He should be back soon, and Patriarch Mo can rest assured now," Lin Chenghui echoed with a hint of flattery.
This is the eldest son of Lin Yu, the head of the Lin family, and his second wife, Ning Ya, who is also Lin Shushu's nominal second uncle.
He had long admired Mo Ze and wanted him to be his son-in-law. Coincidentally, his daughter also liked him very much and insisted on marrying him, which he was more than happy to see happen.
When news of Mo Ze's accident came some time ago, he had already planned to look for another son-in-law. However, before he could make a choice, news came back that Mo Ze was alright, which relieved him. If possible, he still wanted to try his best to secure the marriage with the Mo family.
"Is there any more news? We elders are very concerned about Aze. If it's inconvenient for him to come back, we can go and pick him up," said Xiao Xing, the head of the Xiao family, his tone full of concern.
"On behalf of Aze, I thank all the elders for their concern. I will let everyone know when there is definite news," Mo Kun replied politely.
Just then, the Mo family steward delivered a huge package.
At first, no one took it seriously, but when they heard that it was Mo Ze who brought it back, they became interested, thinking that they might be able to find out where Mo Ze was from this.
When the package was opened, there were more than a dozen exquisite little boxes inside. These boxes looked extraordinary and seemed to be in the style of ancient Earth.
Upon seeing this, the people present exchanged glances, all filled with curiosity. Where had the Mo family brat fallen into? How did he end up with these things?
Mo Kun originally intended to deliver the boxes directly to his wife, but seeing the curious gazes in the room, he thought for a moment, kept two of the boxes, and ordered the rest to be delivered to his wife.
To be honest, he was also curious about what gift Mo Ze was talking about.
As soon as the first box was opened, a rich aroma filled the entire reception room. Those who smelled it were startled; the aroma...
What a rich aroma! Not only that, but after smelling this fragrance, my mind became much clearer, and I felt as comfortable as if I were soaking in warm water.
Everyone present was no ordinary person; they instantly realized that the contents of the box were extraordinary.
Mo Kun regretted it. He should have swallowed his pride and given everything to his wife instead of caring what others said about him being stingy.
He was closest to the box at that moment and the only one who could see its entirety. It was filled with crystal-clear fruits, and the fragrant aroma wafted to his nose, making him unconsciously swallow.
"Brother Mo, what good stuff is this? You can't keep it to yourself!"
"Brother Mo, is this what Aze sent back? I wonder if we would be so lucky as to see it?"
“Aze is so filial. Even though he couldn’t come back in time, he still thinks about us elders.”
……
The crowd chimed in with their own opinions, and these usually dignified and composed figures were practically ready to grab the item outright.
Helpless, Mo Kun took out some spiritual fruits and gave one to each person.
After receiving the fruit, the group did not immediately start eating it. Instead, they carefully examined the fruit, which they could tell was extraordinary just by its aroma.
The fruit in my hand was crystal clear, its skin seemingly shimmering with a white light. It was about the size of an adult's fist. Now that I was close enough, its refreshing aroma went straight to the depths of my soul.
Gu Zhenliang could no longer resist and took a big bite of the fruit. Seeing this, everyone followed suit, and for a moment, only the sound of chewing could be heard in the reception room.
It wasn't until their hands had been empty for an unknown amount of time that everyone came to their senses and slowly began to feel the changes happening in their bodies.
At this moment, a warm current surged through everyone's body. Their bodies, which usually suffered from some ailments, were now extremely comfortable, and their minds were also much calmer.
They looked at each other, everything understood without words. Remembering there was another box, they disregarded all propriety and rushed towards Mo Kun.
Fortunately, Mo Kun had taken precautions and had hidden the fruit beforehand.
"Brother Mo, that's not very kind of you. How can you keep such good things to yourself?"
"Yes, Brother Mo, it's rare for everyone to come for Aze. This is his tribute to everyone, so you can't keep it all to yourself."
"My poor old father, you've lived to such an old age and never tasted such delicious fruit. Your son is so incompetent that he couldn't even leave you one, sob sob sob..."
Goodness, everyone's going all out for a bite to eat. Face and all that? Forget about it.
Helpless, Mo Kun had no choice but to reluctantly take out the fruit he had just put away. Before he could distribute it, everyone rushed over, and the box was empty in an instant.
"Brother Mo, I have some things to attend to at home, so I'll be leaving now. Be sure to let me know when Aze comes back."
"Me too, my elderly father is calling me home for dinner, I have to go now..."
"Yes, yes, let's do it again when Aze comes back..."
In the blink of an eye, the once crowded reception room was now empty, leaving only Mo Kun with a shocked expression that he hadn't yet managed to conceal.
On this day, another shocking piece of news spread throughout the Imperial Star.
It is said that their war god Mo Ze, who had been living away from home, sent back a magical fruit to his family. Not only was the fruit itself uncontaminated, but eating it could also purify the body of impurities and even nourish one's spiritual power.
Regarding this news, some people believed it, some were skeptical, and many more thought it was an exaggeration. In short, this event became a novel topic of conversation, and people talked about it with great interest for a long time.
Since that day, the Mo family has been bustling with visitors.
Even if a family already has a high level of influence, it is still necessary to consolidate relationships with other families and forces.
After receiving several groups of guests, Mo Kun and his wife were exhausted and had no choice but to close their doors to visitors and go out for sightseeing.
