Three days, Mo Clan.
Mo Qing Wu's life had become better ever since the important men of the various aristocratic clans had come to visit her.
However, Mo Qing Wu's father, Mo Xing Chen, discovered that his little daughter was becoming more and more taciturn. Every day, she would stay in her little courtyard. Apart from practicing martial arts, she would hold the scabbard and stare blankly.
Her character had changed from the original lively and adorable to a quiet and introverted one. At such a young age, she seemed to have a lot on her mind. She would no longer hug his neck and sweetly call him father. She would also no longer reveal a sweet smile whenever she saw someone.
Occasionally, when she met a clan member, she would only glance at them with indifferent expressions and then calmly walk past them.
A little girl who was only a few months away from turning eleven years old. This kind of melancholy and quiet was like a twenty-year-old girl who had suffered a great blow and closed herself off from the world. It made people feel uncomfortable when they saw it.
When he took away her scabbard, whenever his daughter saw him, she would plead with tearful eyes, "Father, please return my scabbard to me …"
But now, she no longer made this request. It was as if the scabbard had never appeared in her life.
However, Mo Xing Chen knew that the scabbard had truly left an indelible scar on his daughter's heart!
Her eyes no longer held hope; no longer begged. Even the toys and jewelry that her father, Mo Xing Chen, occasionally bought for her could not arouse a trace of emotion in her eyes. She would only say, "Thank you, father." Then, she would not say anything else.
As for those jewelry, she had never worn them before.
She was only dressed in red. On her head, there was only that monotonous Red Cloud Steel butterfly, spreading its wings and ready to fly. In her hand, there was only that tattered scabbard.
Only when she saw these two things, would Mo Qing Wu's eyes reveal a sincere desire. She seemed to be hoping for something, hoping for something, but she would never say it out loud …
Mo Tian Ji had been working hard in the Cang Lan Battlefront. He constantly ordered people to bring back strange and wonderful things for his little sister. However, Mo Qing Wu did not show any expression. He tidied up an empty room and sealed all these things inside.
Once, when someone came back and mentioned to Mo Qingwu that the Second Prince hoped that the Young Miss would write a letter back, Mo Qingwu said indifferently, "Second Brother has great ambitions, he won't need my letter."
It was said that Mo Tian Ji almost broke down when he heard this! From then on, he worked even harder … He worked even harder to build up his own team. He was preparing … to snatch back the position of the first successor from Mo Tian Yun's hands! Then, he would make proper arrangements for his younger sister!
Right now, he was only the Second Duke. He did not have the authority to arrange such important matters! He knew that his younger sister was sad, but he, Mo Tian Ji, wanted a long time. A moment of happiness could not cover up a lifetime of gloom!
Only when she was by her mother's side would Mo Qing Wu's eyes reveal her true feelings: unwillingness, reluctance, resentment, and helplessness towards this family …
Her little heart clearly knew that her family had abandoned her! She was already abandoned by her family. During this period of time, the family had been indifferent to her. Occasionally, they would send their greetings purely because of Ji Mo, Dong Wu Shang, and other brothers with boundless prospects. This made the family realize that there was still something worth investing in her.
So, they slightly changed their attitude.
But this change in attitude was for the sake of fighting for greater benefits! Although Mo Qingwu was young, how could she not know that growing up in a big family?
If these few dukes showed interest in her, the family would probably immediately arrange a marriage for her and contact an important ally!
Especially the Great Elder Mo Wu Xin. It was said that he already had this thought and had secretly conveyed this message to Ji Mo, Dong Wu Shang, Gu Du Xing, Rui Butong, and the others. If not for the fact that they all rejected her because of her young age, I'm afraid that she would have already been 'someone's fiancée' by now … 'Young Miss, Madam invites you over for a moment.' "The maid reported.
"Okay." Mo Qingwu stood up lightly. Compared to when she was in the Lower Three Heavens, she was already half a head taller, but her figure was still very thin and weak. She slowly walked out of the room.
During this time, she had been practicing martial arts with greater effort, but it was to no avail. Moreover, once the spiritual power was channeled to her chest … When it was channeled, she would feel pain and it wouldn't flow smoothly. This made her feel even more hopeless.
"Little Wu, you're here." Madam Mo looked at her younger daughter with some heartache. She had always seen the changes in her daughter during this time and her heart ached for her, but she was powerless to do anything.
Although she was Mo Qingwu's biological mother, she was still only a woman. In this big world where male power reigned supreme and men had many wives and concubines, the status of women was very low. She had no say in the family's affairs!
She had no other choice but to accept the family's decision.
"Mother, are you looking for me for something?" Mo Qingwu's eyes flashed.
"Well, Little Wu, you'll be eleven in a month, right?" Madam Mo's eyes flashed with a trace of love.
You'll be eleven next month on the seventh day of the seventh month. " Mo Qingwu's heart suddenly thumped and an inexplicable fear shrouded her heart. Why is mother asking about my age? Could it be …? "
"Well, my Little Wu has become a big girl in the blink of an eye," Madam Mo said with a sad and frustrated smile. Eleven years old … I remember when I was eleven years old … I was already engaged to your father … "
"What?" Mo Qingwu took a step back and looked at Madam Mo in a panic, "Mother … you …?"
"The Mo Clan has been in a precarious situation lately …" Madam Mo sighed, "Your eldest brother and second brother's quarrel has become more and more intense. The strength of the clan has also weakened. This isn't a good thing for the entire clan …"
"Therefore, the Great Elder has been discussing with your father to see if they can … find a strong and reliable ally for the Mo Clan …" Madam Mo said with some difficulty.
Mo Qingwu's face turned deathly pale. Her body trembled as she looked at her mother.
"Therefore … they wanted to … arrange a marriage for you as soon as possible …" Madam Mo helplessly looked at her daughter, "The Meng Clan came to propose marriage at this time …"
"The Meng Clan?" Mo Qingwu's face was deathly pale as she stammered. An intense hatred flashed in her eyes.
"Yes, the Meng Clan. And, the Meng Clan has also produced a stunning young expert this time. He's the current Grand Duke of the Meng Clan — Meng Luo. Meng Luo is twenty-three years old this year. But, he's the undisputed number one expert among the younger generation of the Meng Clan. In fact, he has already broken through to the King Level Expert realm, "Madam Mo's lips were somewhat bitter.
Meng Luo was correct. This Meng Luo Gong was indeed a King Level Expert. He could be regarded as outstanding among the younger generation of the Three Heavens in terms of strength. It could be said that he was at the peak of the younger generation apart from a limited number of people.
Such a talented young man was indeed the best son-in-law of a major clan.
But … this Meng Luo Gong had already married. Moreover, he had wives and concubines. Moreover, the Meng Clan had come forward to propose marriage. And, he had benefited from it all.
This was also a means for Meng Luo to enhance the strength of the Meng Clan. He didn't care about the status of this woman in the clan. He also didn't care about her appearance or aptitude. He only wanted to use this method to increase the influence of the Meng Clan.
Therefore, Meng Luo had come to propose marriage when he had heard that the daughter of the Mo Clan — Mo Qing Wu — had lost her Three Yin Meridians.
However, Mo Qing Wu had been only a year and a half at that time. So, it had been too easy for people to take advantage of her.
But, she was now eleven years old. So, she naturally didn't have such misgivings. Generally speaking, the daughters of major clans who weren't very successful would get married at this age.
Therefore, Meng Luo had come to propose marriage.
However, this was something that the Mo Clan couldn't wish for. The Mo Clan had serious internal strife at the moment. So, they needed such an ally.
"I don't agree no matter who he is." Mo Qing Wu firmly bit her lips, "Mother, my father had promised me that he wouldn't force me. I don't want to become a marriage tool for the clan. "
"But, your father had promised you …" Madam Mo helplessly sighed. She thought in her heart, [You had Three Yin Divine Meridians when your father had promised you. A woman with Three Yin Divine Meridians would have a limitless future. So, she naturally couldn't be married off so hastily. But, you don't have it now …]
"The clan has always been very good to me. It has been very good since I was a child. But, it was only because of my Three Yin Divine Meridians." Mo Qing Wu's lips trembled, "So, the clan gave up when my Three Yin Divine Meridians were destroyed! They didn't care about her at all, and treated her as if she was a puppy … But, mother, even if it was a puppy … it would still need to be petted and affectionate sometimes. But, your daughter's Three Yin Meridian was gone, and no one cared about her? "
"And now, you want to use the body and happiness of this useless daughter who has already been crippled in exchange for an ally." Mo Qingwu hissed, "Mother, am I your daughter? Am I the flesh and blood of the Mo Clan? Why is our Mo Clan so indifferent and ruthless? "
"I already knew that my fate wouldn't be very good. Immortal … other clans would also ask for the daughter's opinion when they choose her husband and decide her marriage. So, why did you come and tell me directly when it came to me? "
Madam Mo's appearance was tantamount to the conclusion of this matter. It was up to Madam Mo to make the final persuasion. Although Mo Qing Wu was young, she was well aware of this.
"But … the Great Elder has already decided on this matter …" Madam Mo looked at her daughter helplessly, "Your father can't do anything."
"Father can't wait to agree to this matter, right?" Mo Qing Wu said sorrowfully, and even somewhat mockingly.
Madam Mo was speechless for a while. Suddenly, she said with a trembling voice, "Xiao Wu … I can't do anything … We are one clan, one clan …"
"This matter … I can't agree. If you want me to agree, I have to ask someone first. "Mo Qing Wu wanted to say," Over my dead body! " But, as she said this, she suddenly thought of someone. Her eyes suddenly flashed with a glimmer of hope, "As long as he agrees, or if he doesn't care about me, I will agree …"
Madam Mo sensed the light and happiness in her daughter's eyes at this moment. It was as if that was her last hope. Her heart couldn't help but tighten as she asked, "Who?"
