Chapter 58: Chapter 58 Conspiracy_1

"The elixir’s grade is either advanced or the best, how could there be a top-grade elixir? Mo Feng is only 14 years old, how could he possibly concoct a top-grade elixir?" Feng Jiang asked.

"Who knows!" Feng Yi said, "Anyway, he, Mo Feng, won’t be able to do alchemy again in the future! By the way, Uncle, what’s the deal with Dugu Qianye?"

"Humph, back in the day, Mo Qiushui and I were already engaged, but she eloped with someone else, causing me to lose face in Pu City and even the entire Mors Empire. That Dugu Qianye is their base spawn! The Mo Family hid her in Qifeng City and kept their lips tightly sealed about it. I only found out about it recently myself," Feng Jianren said, "I want to personally end her life, to vent the hatred in my heart!"

Meanwhile, Dugu Qianye stood in front of the Mo Residence, hesitant to enter.

"What’s wrong?" Mo Ziqing asked.

"Hehe, a little nervous," Dugu Qianye answered.

"What’s there to be nervous about? Aren’t we here to pick you up?" Mo Lian’s familiar voice came from behind the gate. As she finished speaking, Mo Lian and Mo Ju appeared outside the gate, looking at Dugu Qianye with beaming smiles.

"Come on in, Father and several uncles have been waiting for you for a long time." Mo Ju ran down the steps and took hold of Dugu Qianye’s hand, leading her toward the hall.

"Father, uncles, we’ve brought Qianye in," Mo Ju shouted before they had even stepped inside.

Being pulled along briskly, Dugu Qianye didn’t get a chance to take a good look at the Mo Residence’s surroundings. By the time she came to her senses, she was already standing in the hall.

"Haha, this must be Qianye. Come here, let your Uncle Mo Yan have a look," the impatient Mo Yan pulled Dugu Qianye over, "Back when you left, you were just a five-year-old kid, and now you’ve grown up so much."

Dugu Qianye looked up at her Uncle Mo Yan, who had a childish face and looked even younger than her Uncle Mo Wu. She then glanced at the other people in the room. She had to admit, the Mo Family had good genes, all handsome men and beautiful women. Except for Uncle Mo Yan, the other four uncles all looked similar. She wondered if they resembled their grandfather or grandmother.

Touching her own face, she didn’t see the resemblance to them, uncertain whether she took after her father or her mother. She felt it must be her father.

"Qianye, this is your Uncle Mo Chi," Mo Jian pointed to the man leading at the front, and then pointed to the man wearing a black robe, saying, "This is your second uncle. This is your third uncle, with a baby face. This is your fourth uncle." Mo Jian introduced each of them to Dugu Qianye.

"Uncle Mo Chi, second uncle, third uncle, fourth uncle, fifth uncle," Dugu Qianye greeted each elder in turn.

"Haha, good, good, good." All the uncles were smiling joyfully.

"This is your eldest brother, Mo Zihan. Mo Ziqing, your seventh brother. They are both sons of your Uncle Mo Chi. This is your fourth brother, Mo Ziyu, son of your fourth uncle. You already know Mo Ju and Mo Lian. The other uncles’ sons and daughters are managing the family’s business affairs elsewhere."

"Eldest brother, fourth brother," Dugu Qianye called out.

"Haha, so this is our little sister. We’ve been hearing about you from our father all this time; finally, we get to meet you," Mo Ziyu said, laughing cheerily.

"Because I wanted to study properly at the academy, I didn’t want people to know I’m from the Mo Family, so I’m coming back late. I apologize for any concern I’ve caused the uncles," Dugu Qianye said.

"As long as you are safe, that’s what matters," Mo Chi said. The others nodded in agreement.

"Little sister, that thing," Mo Zihan looked Dugu Qianye over and, pointing to her fake Adam’s apple, asked, "How did you do that? You look so much like a man; you even have an Adam’s apple."

"Hehe, this is a Phantom Device I bought from Qian Pavilion in Baishi City. It makes me appear like a man," Dugu Qianye took off the Phantom Ring from her hand, reverting to a woman’s appearance.

"Wow, that’s so magical." Mo Ju took the ring and put it on her own hand, and she looked like a man too.

"Hehe, it’s so much fun!" Mo Ju giggled as she put on and took off the ring.

"This one was made by Grandfather Youwu, the only one of its kind." Dugu Qianye took the ring from Mo Ju’s hand and wore it on his own, becoming Baili Xie again.

"Have you met Uncle Youwu?" the fourth elder asked.

Dugu Qianye nodded and said, "Before I came to Pu City, I passed through Mengjiao Ridge, where I met him and acknowledged him as my grandfather. Later, I learned that he and Grandpa were close friends."

After that, Dugu Qianye briefly recapped his experiences from the time he left Qifeng City to them, omitting some details, such as the existence of Lan Mei.

"How is Mo Feng and the other disciples?" After recounting his own experiences, Dugu Qianye thought of the afternoon’s events and asked.

"After Mo Feng was brought back, we followed your instructions and didn’t touch him. The other injured disciples are all fine too," Mo Ziqing replied.

"Hmph, the Feng Family is going too far!" Mo Lao San said indignantly.

"Ever since Mo Feng concocted the top-grade elixir, they have been eager to get rid of him. We have been doing our best to ensure his safety, thinking that the academy would be safe, but we never expected him to be beaten like this at the academy," Mo Chi said.

"Qianye, I heard that Mo Feng’s meridians were broken at the time. Are you sure your method can really heal him?" Mo Zihan asked.

"Actually, it wasn’t me who saved Mo Feng, but my contract beast. Since she said it would work, there should be no problem," Dugu Qianye replied.

"Qianye, your phantom beast is that amazing?" Mo Ju said with envy.

Dugu Qianye smiled at Mo Ju and then turned to Mo Chi with a serious face, saying, "Uncle, there are some things I want to ask you."

Mo Chi and his brothers exchanged glances before saying, "Zihan, you go down first."

Mo Zihan, Mo Ziyu, Mo Ziqing, and sisters Mo Lian and Mo Ju bowed to their elders and left the hall one after another.

"Qianye, what do you want to ask?" Mo Chi asked Qianye, with the other elders looking at her expectantly.

"The Feng Family has made such a fuss this time, seeing the phantom beasts they equipped for the younger generation, I think they must have been preparing for not just a short time," Dugu Qianye said.

"When we arranged your mother’s engagement to Feng Jianren, it was in the spirit of friendship between the two families. Little did we know, the Feng Family always had the idea of annexing us. But with the interests of the six major families intertwined, no one can easily act against another family. Later, your mother’s affair gave them a legitimate reason, and so over the years, they have spared no effort in suppressing our business," Mo Chi explained.

"Mo Feng concocted a top-grade elixir a month ago, which helped us alleviate a lot of pressure but threatened the interests of other families. The Feng Family took this opportunity to harm Mo Feng at the academy, making sure he can no longer practice alchemy. Naturally, our elixir industry would not be able to compete with the Feng Family," Mo Lao Si said.

"Hmph, they had it all figured out, but they didn’t expect you to be able to heal Mo Feng," Mo Lao San said, smugly.

"But still, this is a big blow to our elixir industry," Mo Lao Er said, speaking up for once.
