Chapter 4: Chapter 4 From Here On
"Father, I was foolish in the past and made many mistakes, but from today, I will diligently cultivate, and I will never disappoint you!"
Mo Wangchen took a step back, knelt down on the spot without another word, and bowed deeply.
In this life, he was not only a Pill Saint from his previous life but also the Young Master Mo, Mo Wangchen!
In his previous life, he had been an orphan with no parents; now, he experienced an unprecedented fatherly love from Mo Xiaotian.
This kneel was not just for himself but even more for the original owner of this body, because the previous Mo Wangchen indeed had made many mistakes, causing his father not only helplessness but also disappointment…
The sudden kneel stunned Mo Xiaotian and Xue'er, who was still in the hall, and it took them a long time to recover.
"Good! Good! Seeing you find your way back brings me great consolation! Even if you cannot condense the Spirit Vein, how does it matter? As long as you do not lose your true self, other paths will open up in the future. Now that the family business is booming, I plan to let you take over…"
Tears welled up in Mo Xiaotian's eyes as he watched the young man kneeling on the ground, his face still somewhat youthful, but in his eyes, Mo Xiaotian saw a hint of unwavering determination. This child had truly grown up…
As for the diligent cultivation Mo Wangchen just spoke of, Mo Xiaotian did not really take it to heart. He knew better than anyone that his son could not condense the Spirit Vein. As he spoke, Mo Xiaotian helped Mo Wangchen up from the ground, but before he could finish, Mo Wangchen shook his head and interrupted, "Father…"
"I really want to cultivate diligently, and as for the family business, I have no interest in taking over. You can let someone else share your burden," Mo Wangchen said with a smile.
These words made Mo Xiaotian pause, sensing that Mo Wangchen was not joking, but his meridians…
Whizz!
However, just as he was puzzled, Mo Wangchen slightly raised a hand, and in the next moment, a surge of Spiritual Energy spontaneously arose within the hall.
A wisp of invisible Spiritual Energy seemed to be controlled by Mo Wangchen. It converged towards his palm and was then absorbed through the skin into his body.
"This is…"
Seeing this sudden scene, Mo Xiaotian's eyes burst into an incredible gleam, disbelief painting his face.
Because Mo Wangchen's action undoubtedly proved that he was now able to channel Spiritual Energy, even integrating it into the meridians inside his body!
"Chen'er, your… your meridians…"
Mo Xiaotian's trembling voice clearly conveyed his astonishment at the moment, while Xue'er, standing behind Mo Wangchen, also widened her eyes in surprise.
"I woke up early today and felt something odd about my meridians, then I discovered that I could start storing Spiritual Energy…"
Mo Wangchen smiled and simply brushed it off, electing not to disclose the true reason to his father.
"Good! Good! Good! No matter the reason, my son is no longer useless!" Mo Xiaotian laughed heartily, tears running down his face, repeating 'good' thrice.
"Congratulations, Family Head, congratulations, Young Master!" Xue'er also said with a smile. Although Mo Wangchen had been somewhat hateful in the past, she was genuinely happy for him now that he had found his way back.
She too was an orphan, later adopted by Mo Xiaotian into the Mo Family. Although nominally a maid by Mo Xiaotian's side, he had always treated her as a daughter, never using her as a servant.
Such kindness was more than heaven to Xue'er, and seeing Mo Xiaotian so happy, she naturally felt joy.
"Haha, Xue'er, you have grown up in my Mo Family since you were a child, and I have always noticed your talent. Now that you are at Vein Condensation Realm Level One, why not, today I will make you my adopted daughter. Would you like that?" Mo Xiaotian seemed to be having one of the happiest days of his life as he looked at Xue'er and smiled.
"Xue'er pays respect to her foster father!" Xue'er, fully named Mo Xue, had been given her name by Mo Xiaotian, who now surprisingly desired to adopt her as his foster daughter, causing her eyes to slightly redden as she knelt down without hesitation.
"Stand up, stand up!" Mo Xiaotian raised his hand to help her up and then glanced at Mo Wangchen, "You both are my good children. Chen'er, except for Xue'er and me, temporarily do not tell anyone else about your ability to cultivate. Also, in a month, Yun Chu Academy is recruiting disciples. You and Xue'er should also participate in the trial. Although it's not certain you'll be selected, with only one opportunity each year, you must give it a try."
"In a month?" Mo Wangchen was startled. He was familiar with the disciple recruitment by Yun Chu Academy.
As the premier power in Yun Country, apart from the Royal Family, Yun Chu Academy could almost be called the cradle of geniuses.
Because each year, Yun Chu Academy conducts trials for recruiting disciples throughout the cities of Yun Country, regarding not cultivation but solely talent. If you are selected, you will be able to become a disciple of Yun Chu Academy and soar to great heights!
This fact alone shows how many geniuses exist within Yun Chu Academy!
"Yun Chu Academy, huh..."
Mo Wangchen muttered softly. Jun Muqing was a disciple of the dean, right?
If he passed the trial and successfully joined Yun Chu Academy, what kind of expression would Jun Muqing have when he appeared before her again?
Soon after, Mo Wangchen and Xue'er left the council hall.
Walking along the paths of the Mo Family, Xue'er frequently stole glances at Mo Wangchen which made him somewhat exasperated.
"Do I have something on my face?" he asked.
Uh!
Xue'er was stunned and then pouted, "Suddenly seeing you transformed into someone else, I'm not used to it. It feels unreal, as if I'm dreaming..."
"Not used to it?" Mo Wangchen was perplexed, and then a familiar expression surfaced on his face.
This expression, fit perfectly with his usual reckless demeanor, always a mischievous smile that seemed asking for a beating.
Smack!
Before Xue'er could react to this change, Mo Wangchen firmly slapped her on the buttocks.
"You!"
The fiery sensation from her buttocks made Xue'er feel both embarrassed and angry, but before she could do anything, Mo Wangchen had already burst into laughter and quickly ran towards a fork in the path, "Are you used to it now?"
"And hey, stop with the formality, now you must call me 'brother,' understood?"
Saying that, Mo Wangchen didn't look back and quickly fled the scene. Currently, Xue'er's cultivation was at the first level of Vein Condensation Realm. If he really wanted to chastise her, with his current ninth level of Body Refinement Realm, she had no chance to retaliate at all.
