Chapter 116: Future Plans
It is also very difficult to expect the women in the Mo Mansion to immediately understand the difference between cultivators and mortals.
But facing his wife and daughter whom he had not seen for ten years, Mo Juren, who had just returned, could not possibly say such a cruel statement that he was about to cut off the worldly affairs and abandon his home in order to embark on the path of cultivating immortals.
Mo Juren just repeatedly emphasized to them that once they embarked on the path of cultivating immortals, they would have no choice but to work hard to improve their cultivation.
From now on, he was destined to live in seclusion in the mountains, or concentrate on practicing, often disappearing for ten days or half a month, and would not appear in front of them often.
The girls claimed that it was nothing, as they had been doing the same for the past ten years, and being able to see each other now was naturally much better than before.
Mo Caihuan was even more curious and asked if her father could give her a mighty spiritual beast like a flying tiger for her to ride on and play after he became an immortal, which caused everyone to laugh.
Mo Juren had no choice but to explain that the man who possessed the flying tiger was a powerful cultivator who could destroy the Mo Mansion with one palm, and his current strength was far beyond his reach.
Moreover, such people regard ordinary people as ants and can control the survival of the Mo family with a flick of their hands.
It is unknown whether this person is an enemy or a friend, and his existence cannot be revealed casually to avoid bringing uncontrollable risks to them.
Under Mo Caihuan's curiosity, Mo Juren demonstrated his magic of cultivating immortals. A fire bomb melted the rockery in the courtyard, and then immediately froze it up with a talisman. He could switch between ice and fire freely. Such "immortal magic" amazed the girls.
After witnessing the great power of the immortal cultivators with their own eyes, everyone began to realize the risks and agreed to keep the matter a secret.
The third wife, Liu Ya, had always been the one most favored by Mo Juren. She always wanted to stay close to Mo Juren and have him show her more favor as he did in the past.
But Mo Juren thought of her mysterious background and her possible connection with immortal cultivators, and he didn't know whether it would be beneficial or harmful.
So this time he deliberately ignored her and treated her the same as other ladies, without showing her much care, which made her look unwilling.
After Mo Juren explained the situation, he asked the girls about their future wishes.
The safest way now is for Mo Juren to take his seven daughters and a small number of close confidants and leave Lanzhou, and find another good place in other prefectures of Yue State to establish a new Mo Mansion and become a secluded family.
But this would be equivalent to asking everyone to give up the Jingjiao Society, give up Lanzhou, and give up the life they have been familiar with for many years.
Regarding the plan proposed by Mo Juren, except for the Fifth Lady who showed her firm support as always, the other women did not reject it, but they all came up with "better ideas".
Such as digging out a large number of underground palaces under the Mo Mansion, opening up a villa outside Jiayuan City, moving the Mo Mansion to Changping Town, etc.
Obviously, it is not easy for anyone to completely give up the past when they meet again. Mo Juren does not blame them for their choice.
After understanding everyone's feelings, Mo Juren made up his mind that since he had been away for ten years and had let them down for ten years, from now on, he should find ways to stay with them.
I have to protect them for at least ten years, and give them ten years of stability and wealth and prosperity. Only in this way can I live up to their persistence, perseverance and silent waiting for me.
In the Mo Mansion, ever since "Zhang Tie" showed up and conquered Jiayuan City, and used the big and small dragon pills and the secret life-extending medicine to bring all the forces under the Jingjiao Society, everything has been on the right track. Many Dark Rudder disciples who had originally moved out of the city to preserve their strength also began to move back into the city.
Several daughters asked about Zhang Tie one after another, but Mo Juren just said that he had been assigned a task and would be away for a few days.
Xiao Caihuan was still thinking about the fact that she had never met this senior brother before, and that she would ask him for a gift when the time came.
Mo Juren remembered that before he left, he had asked Mo Fengwu to set up a medicinal field and plant spiritual medicine. Now that he couldn't return to the Mo Mansion openly, he couldn't do it. So he asked her to come closer and said in a gentle voice,
"Feng Wu, from what Zhang Tie said, you have learned medicine and pharmacology without a teacher, and you are quite good at it,"
"I have some medicine books left by the Mohist School. I have collected some more over the years. I will give them to you for your reference. From now on, the Mohist School's medical knowledge will be passed down to you, okay?"
Mo Fengwu was delighted when she heard that and said with a smile,
"Thank you, father! I will do my best to carry forward the Mo family's medical tradition and pass it on."
As he spoke, he took the dozen books that Mo Juren took out of his storage bag and started flipping through them excitedly.
Mo Caihuan saw this, and came forward to grab Mo Juren's arm, shaking it vigorously, begging in a coquettish voice,
"Father, what about the colorful ring? No, the colorful ring also needs a gift from father, okay?"
Mo Juren touched her head affectionately, thought for a moment, and then took out another object, which was the seven-piece puzzle box with the inner map and key already taken out.
The internal structure of this seven-piece puzzle box is ingenious, and six layers of secret compartments can be revealed in a row, which is just right for Caihuan, a child of her age who loves to play.
Mo Juren used his magic power to gently wave it, and the seven-piece box seemed to be refurbished, shining with exquisite brilliance, which surprised Mo Caihuan so much that she immediately took it in her hands and started playing with it.
The eldest daughter Mo Yuzhu beside him naturally could not be left behind, so Mo Juren took out an exquisite dagger from his arms and gave it to her.
This is a unique weapon that Han Li had painstakingly crafted earlier. In addition to being extremely sharp, there is also a powerful mechanism hidden in the sword.
When pressed, the tip of the sword can pop out violently, killing the enemy unexpectedly. For women who are as brave as men, the black jade beads are just right for self-defense.
Mo Yuzhu also gladly accepted it and thanked her father.
The third wife Liu Ya was watching from the side, feeling a little jealous and sour, and said in a sweet voice,
"Husband~ our daughters have all got theirs, but what about our sisters' gifts?"
Mo Juren chuckled and said,
"Gifts for the ladies are of course indispensable, but now is not the best time. When I take them out in the future, I will definitely satisfy the ladies."
After saying that, he glanced at Mo Fengwu silently. It was time to try to prepare the beauty powder that female cultivators often used. By then, he would surely be able to please his wives.
After all, there is no woman who doesn't want to hold on to her youth and appearance.
Seeing that Mo Juren was playing a riddle, the third lady did not let him off.
"Ah, my husband is really partial. He didn't even tell me what the gift was. I'm a little jealous of you, Yuzhu. Second sister, fourth sister, don't you agree?"
After saying that, he pulled over the gentle and graceful Second Madam Li and the dignified and noble Fourth Madam Yan, and they all looked at Mo Juren.
It was already night, and the eldest daughter Yuzhu was very perceptive. She dragged away the ignorant Fengwu and the unknown younger sister, leaving her father and the four wives alone in a room...
