Chapter 796: Chapter 796: Enter the Mountain Together and Capture Another Beast (1)_1

Although Mo Qingze didn’t regard Xiao Ruiyuan as the most suitable son-in-law candidate, he had no complaints about the man himself. Seeing that Xiao Ruiyuan, despite his noble status, was willing to offer his help, Mo Qingze was pleased at heart.

But pleasure aside, Mo Qingze was not about to foolishly agree right away. Otherwise, everyone would understand why this young man, unrelated to his family, was busying himself around their home. He had not tested him enough, so how could he loosen his stance?

"I don’t oppose your relationship with Yanyan, but the proper rules must be followed! If you want me to consent to betroth Yanyan to you, you must show your sincerity," Mo Qingze stated frankly, serving both as a reminder and a test for Xiao Ruiyuan.

"Thank you for the reminder, Uncle Mo. I’ve been negligent!" Xiao Ruiyuan’s expression changed slightly as he stood up, bowed to Mo Qingze with his hands clasped, and apologized with an attitude so respectful and polite that it was beyond reproach.

This time, Xiao Ruiyuan truly just wanted to help, without any thoughts of using the opportunity to create misunderstandings and rumors to bind him and Yanyan together, forcing Mo Qingze to agree to the marriage proposal.

It was precisely because Mo Qingze saw this that he merely offered a reminder, or else he would have lost his temper long ago.

Mo Yan, holding a freshly brewed pot of tea, came in and saw the two chatting amiably, with smiles on her father’s face, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.

She placed the tea tray down, grabbed a teacup and the teapot, and while pouring tea, she said, "Father, Master wants to take a walk in the mountains. I’ll accompany him in a while. We may not be back in time for lunch, so don’t wait for us."

Doctor Du didn’t actually intend just to stroll in the mountains; rather, some rare medicinal herbs that only appeared during the winter were not available in the Space, so the master and disciple planned to try their luck in the mountains.

"I see. Take more water and food with you; don’t starve Doctor Du," Mo Qingze reminded. With the formidable Four Beasts around, he no longer worried about Mo Yan encountering danger in the mountains.

Xiao Ruiyuan, however, wasn’t so reassured and stood up, suggesting, "The mountain roads are treacherous, and Doctor Du is advanced in years; it would be good to have someone by his side. As I have nothing pressing at the moment, I’ll accompany you into the mountains."

Mo Yan’s eyes lit up, and she was about to agree when she heard her father cough loudly. She quickly suppressed that thought.

Mo Qingze glared at his daughter, who was shrunken with her neck down, daring not to lift her head, and then looked up at Xiao Ruiyuan and said, "Indeed, Doctor Du could use another person around. Hanzhang will go!"

"Thank you, Uncle Mo!" Xiao Ruiyuan bowed again to Mo Qingze, feeling grateful. The thought of finally having the chance to be alone with Mo Yan sent a special glimmer through his eyes.

"Father, you’re the best! You are simply the best father in the world!" Mo Yan hadn’t expected her father to agree so easily and hugged his arm joyfully, her face full of flattery.

"You better behave yourself!"

Seeing his daughter’s silly, happy demeanor, Mo Qingze felt both annoyed and amused. This silly girl, even if her heart was content, should not be so obvious in showing it—it made it too easy for others to look down on her!

Mo Yan, completely oblivious to this, quickly packed up her belongings and stuffed them into Xiao Ruiyuan’s hands. She then supported her master and walked lightly towards the mountains.

Xiao Ruiyuan’s expression remained unchanged as he picked up the backpack loaded with food, water, shovels, and small hoes, following the master and disciple at a relaxed pace, his eyes full of indulgence.

The Four Beasts cleared the way ahead, scaring away many animals that had come out to forage, whether herbivores or carnivores. The Space Cultivation Area already contained plenty of tender "ration," so these prey held no interest for the beasts. Only when they were bored would they play with the small creatures like a cat with a mouse before letting them go.
