"My … my throat hurts," Mofan pointed at his throat, implying that he was having trouble talking.
Zu Huanyao glared at Mofan and said, "Don't think I don't know that you're close to Su Lu's faction. Mr. Su Lu is indeed a capable man, but he's a strange person. Even the older generation like us can't figure him out. One thing is for sure, he's capable of turning his back on others. I don't care who you choose to follow, but you have to be careful, do you understand?"
"Mm, mm," Mo Fan nodded and went along with it.
Zu Huanyao's eyes flickered with astonishment. He began to observe Mofan again.
The Dark Vein in Mofan's body pulsed. It was trying to alert Mofan.
Did the old fox notice it?
Mofan's heart skipped a beat. Zu Huanyao was one of the pillars of the Zu Clan. People called him the Old Fox. He was quite capable. Mofan had already pretended to have a cold and a sore throat, yet Zu Huanyao had still noticed it.
What was the problem?
Was it because Zu Xiangtian was not as submissive as he was in front of Zu Huanyao?
"You have to scold me no matter where I go. My ears are getting calluses from hearing it. I really don't feel good about it. Can you stop scolding me?" Mo Fan said impatiently.
"So what if I'm scolding you? I'm telling you, anyone with half a brain can tell what you're thinking. Also, let me ask you, why did you publicize the duel with such great fanfare? "Zu Huanyao resumed his lecturing look.
Mofan let out a relieved sigh. It seemed like Zu Xiangtian was always impatient in front of Zu Huanyao.
"I've been tolerating that guy for a long time. I'm going to stomp him to death. Besides, I can't just let the matter of the national team go, "Mofan said.
"You're still the same. You can't keep your cool at all. Don't mess with Mofan if you don't have to. He has made a lot of contributions. Do you think he's the same as you, who do some small deeds and then hire people to publicize them? "Zu Huanyao said.
"I was just lucky. Actually, the outcome would have been the same whether he was there or not." Mofan imitated the tone that most people used to question him.
"Why don't I see your luck? Let me tell you, don't disgrace our Zu Clan!" Zu Huanyao criticized.
When Mofan heard Zu Huanyao's words, he nodded in his heart. It seemed that this old man still knew how to speak properly.
"I have other things to do, so I won't chat with you here," Mofan said.
"Don't you have a sore throat?" Zu Huanyao asked angrily.
"Ugh …" Mofan thought it was better for him to leave as soon as possible.
"(Sigh), I know you're still not satisfied with what happened. Even though the quest on Tianshan Mountain might give you a chance to meet Archangel Michael, do you know who this Qin Yu 'er is?" Zu Huanyao said.
"Is she related to our clan?" Mofan raised his brows.
"Do you remember your second brother, Zu Xingyi?" Zu Huanyao said in a deep voice.
"Mm," Mofan nodded. He did not say anything else.
"I demoted Xingyi to Bo City. I was going to ask him to hide until the Heresy Judgment Court removed the name list. I was going to summon him back to the capital, but so many things happened after that …" Zu Huanyao told Mo Fan everything.
Mofan listened carefully. He did not say anything.
Zu Huanyao seemed to have kept the words in his heart for some time. He felt relieved after spitting them out.
Mofan initially thought Zu Huanyao was describing someone more outstanding and patient than Zu Xiangtian, so Zu Xiangtian could follow his example. To his surprise, Zu Xingyi was Zhan Kong's Chief Military Instructor!
Chief Military Instructor Zhan Kong was from the Zu Clan!
He had never mentioned it before!
The man before him was Chief Military Instructor Zhan Kong's grandfather. Zu Huanyao had appointed him as the commander of Bo City's military so he could avoid the Heresy Judgment Court's investigation. Chief Military Instructor Zhan Kong had offended the Heresy Judgment Court because of Qin Yu 'er.
Mofan's heart skipped a beat when he saw the old man with a gray-white beard.
It meant Zu Huanyao knew everything!
"I don't understand. The Heresy Judgment Court is obviously trying to take my second brother's life. Why didn't you stop them?" Mofan asked.
If Zu Huanyao was Chief Military Instructor Zhan Kong's grandfather, they might have a chance of rescuing Qin Yu 'er secretly if they worked together. Chief Military Instructor Zhan Kong would not have to come to the Sacred City and walk right into their trap!
"You think he's still alive?" Zu Huanyao scoffed.
"Well … maybe it's possible. After all, I heard the undead of the Ancient Capital didn't invade any cities under his control," Mofan said.
"I don't care what the possibility is, I won't let him suffer any longer!" Zu Huanyao declared.
Suffer any longer?
Mofan had never considered it.
Either way, Mofan still believed Zhan Kong was still alive. The evil Qin Emperor had not taken his soul.
"In the past, I was hoping he could escape from the Sacred City. This time, I hope he can find redemption in the Sacred City," Zu Huanyao said.
"But what if his soul isn't gone? Isn't that the same as killing him? Did you ever consider that if he comes to the Sacred City, it means he still has his memories and emotions? "Mofan asked.
Zu Huanyao's gaze shifted. He seemed to have noticed Mofan's unusual reaction.
Mofan knew Zu Xiangtian would not say something like that. He immediately defended himself, "I just don't want third grandpa to be sad."
"I've already asked Archangel Michael. Not only is his existence a great disaster, it's also a form of torture for those who are possessed. I don't have many years left to live, but the Qin Emperor's ghost will torture Xingyi for thousands of years. The last thing I can do for him while I'm still alive is to set him free, "Zu Huanyao said with a firm look.
"Fine, but what about Qin Yu 'er? After all … I think she's innocent," Mofan said.
"Don't worry, I only brought her to the Sacred City to lure the Qin Emperor out. Once we're done with the redemption, we'll make arrangements for her. She won't be able to live like a normal person, but at least she'll be able to keep her life," Zu Huanyao said.
"I still think …" Mofan wanted to persuade him.
"I've told you enough today. Xiangtian, after Xingyi is redeemed, you're the most capable person in the Zu Clan. Even though I'm your third grandpa, I've always treated you like my own grandson. I hope you can mature and take on greater responsibilities, "Zu Huanyao patted Mofan on the shoulder.
Mofan looked at Zu Huanyao. Zu Huanyao had already turned around and left.
Looking at the man's figure, Mo Fan felt helpless and bitter.
