Chapter 312: Chapter 312

That's right—coming to ask about one's background could be either because one doesn't know, or another possibility is to come confirm it.

"Then what kind of royal family member is he?" The Mo Family Head could now only hope that Xiaoyao was the kind of very peripheral royal family member—called royal family but already quite distant in blood relation from the current emperor.

"The emperor's nephew, from his biological younger sister." The Young Miss once again plunged the Mo family members into the abyss.

This wasn't the peripheral kind at all, but the most core royal family member. This time the trouble was huge. If investigated, the Mo family would truly face annihilation.

Why was this happening? How could he possibly be royal family of the Great Tang Empire...

Perhaps this time they shouldn't have made a move. That way, they wouldn't have brought this trouble upon themselves for no reason. Could this really be as he said—that this fate was also brought upon oneself?

It was precisely because he believed in this fate that he went to deal with him. But precisely because he dealt with him, this fate became reality. This was indeed a very ironic thing.

If this were the case, then was his treatment of Mo Ling the same back then? If he had originally treated her like a granddaughter, perhaps she wouldn't have posed a threat to the Mo family.

Could I have been wrong?

No, I wasn't wrong. I was changing my fate, clearing obstacles. This is what everyone would choose to do. I wasn't wrong.

"But he hasn't confirmed whether he is or not yet. Maybe he isn't." The Mo Family Head refused to give up until he reached the Yellow River.

"He hasn't confirmed it, but as long as he nods, no matter what the situation is, the Great Tang Empire will acknowledge his identity as Young Prince. The Eldest Princess treats him as her biological nephew—his background won't affect his status. The only fear is that he himself might deny it." The Young Miss shook her head. She was now beginning to be disappointed in her grandfather.

Even at this point, he still wouldn't give up. Even if Xiaoyao wasn't truly royal family, even if later he would have this title stripped away, right now he represented this identity. Now that the Mo family had moved against him, it was the same as moving against the Great Tang Empire's Young Prince. When the Great Tang Empire learned of this matter, they would definitely investigate.

This was a matter of face. They wouldn't allow such things, because if they allowed it once, there would be a second time. That way, for their royal family, it would be a great humiliation.

The current Great Tang Empire was so strong—how could they swallow this humiliation? Therefore, if this matter were known by the Great Tang Empire, regardless of Xiaoyao's future situation, it would be the same—it wouldn't change the Great Tang Empire's suppression of the Mo family, or even their extermination.

"The Eldest Princess?" For the Mo family, having contact with the Eldest Princess level was almost impossible, and the Young Miss wouldn't casually discuss these things, so he knew nothing about the Eldest Princess.

"The Eldest Princess is not only the current emperor's biological older sister, but she herself possesses the martial power of a peerless expert. If she wanted to destroy the Mo family, she would only need to move one finger. Even if I wanted to block her, I couldn't." The Young Miss simply continued revealing explosive information, making the Mo Family Head thoroughly understand what kind of situation he was facing.

"..." The Mo Family Head fell silent. This time, he seemed unable to find any words to say. This situation was very bad, extremely bad. He seemed to have a feeling that this time might be the reason for the Mo family's downfall, and all of this seemed to be brought upon himself. This was a very tragic thing.

The Young Miss seemed still unsatisfied and said, "The Eldest Princess treasures Xiaoyao very much, treating him almost like her own son. If the Eldest Princess learns about today's events, the consequences will be very serious."

"..." The Mo Family Head had completely fallen silent.

"Family Head, my mother is seriously ill at home. Loyalty and filial piety cannot both be fulfilled. I don't think I can continue serving you in the Mo family." Someone suddenly came forward and spoke to the Mo Family Head, then directly left without caring whether the Mo Family Head agreed. Googlᴇ search novel~fire~net

This was an absolutely shrewd person. The current Mo family had already offended the Great Tang Empire and also offended a peerless expert. If the other party investigated, this place would be very tragic. Staying here was really too dangerous.

With his abilities, he could find good work elsewhere. Why risk his life for this? So he simply found an excuse to leave.

"Um, my mom is calling me home for a blind date. Marriage is a major life event that can't be delayed. It might take a very long time, so I won't occupy the Mo family's precious position. I take my leave." Someone who daily proclaimed that women were like clothes said very seriously, then left.

"My son turned one last year. I'm going home to help him celebrate belatedly and enjoy family happiness. I request resignation from the Family Head."

One excuse after another came out, and in a moment, more than half the people had left. Those who remained were either loners who weren't afraid of death, or original Mo family members.

Seeing all this, the Mo Family Head felt powerless in his heart and could barely stand.

The development of these past few years would all return to the starting point in this one night, and might even be worse, because in the future, they would still have to face opponents they couldn't resist.

The Young Miss on the side only watched this coldly and didn't say anything. She felt that whether these people stayed or left wasn't really a problem. The Mo family needed to be reorganized. Taking this incident as a lesson was also good—otherwise, with the Mo family's current arrogant attitude, problems would arise sooner or later.

Although she herself also had many problems, she didn't represent the Mo family, only herself. She also wouldn't use the Mo family to bully people. Even in the past, she had never done so, let alone now.

But these Mo family members were different. They constantly used the Mo family's banner and also used her name. If this continued, it would be fine within this Heavenly Wind Kingdom, but after going out, they would definitely offend people. At the same time, if someone they couldn't afford to offend passed through here, the result would also be very miserable.

Xiaoyao now played this role, perfectly allowing the Mo family to reflect. For the Young Miss, this was also a good thing.

"Now you can tell me—before Xiaoyao left, what did he say to you? Did he mention anything about revenge?" The Young Miss asked after those people left and after giving the Mo Family Head time to contemplate for a while.

Regarding Xiaoyao's departure, she already knew about it. Otherwise, she would have inquired about Xiaoyao's whereabouts long ago. This wasn't intelligence from Nangong Third Miss either, but when she came here, it was shortly after Xiaoyao had just left. Some people were discussing this matter, and she heard it.

Since Xiaoyao could leave so calmly, she wouldn't worry about him, because she had confidence in Xiaoyao. She knew that things like secret passages were just everyday matters for him—very simple.

However, she knew that if Xiaoyao left , he definitely wouldn't come back, nor would he bid her farewell. He would directly leave here and head toward the Eastern European Kingdom.

Originally, they should have bid farewell properly and wouldn't have parted , but given the current situation, she believed he wouldn't stay either. Both she and Nangong Suxin clearly understood this point.

"He didn't mention that. He only asked me to give you a message, saying he was going to do his business, and leaving without saying goodbye was a helpless measure... Also, he told me to take care of myself." the Mo Family Head said.

"Then there should be no problem. You just need to remember this lesson. Also, one more thing—after this meeting ends, I'll stay in the Great Tang Empire for a long time. When Guxing comes home, we'll return together." The Young Miss's final words clearly indicated that if Guxing didn't come back, then she wouldn't come back either. She was disappointed in the Mo family.

Perhaps this was just her momentary anger and she would change her mind later, but for these recent years, she probably wouldn't return. Whatever happened to the Mo family, she wouldn't care.

"Why were you inside for so long? Where's Xiaoyao?" Just as things were coming to an end, Nangong Third Miss finally entered, asking somewhat anxiously.

"Ah, how could I forget about Susu..." The Young Miss knocked her own head. "It's —when we came in just now, Xiaoyao had already left through the secret passage in this room. He was alone and very safe."

"Then who were all those people who went out just now? If there's no problem, I'll release them." Nangong Third Miss gave the Young Miss an annoyed look, then spoke about business.

"Just now? Oh, those were people who saw the Mo family had brought trouble and then left. Release them all. Although they were also among those who surrounded Xiaoyao, they're just small fry—nothing worth fussing over." The Young Miss understood who Nangong Third Miss was referring to.

That made sense. At this time, the entire Mo family was surrounded by Nangong Third Miss, and no one was allowed to leave. Those who went out were naturally captured.

Although this time the three of them had only come to participate in a peaceful military conference, they had brought quite a few people. Dealing with the Mo family was still a very simple matter.

Of course, the Mo family members had also been very arrogant and had conflicts with them, but they were quickly suppressed, and very miserably so, because Nangong Third Miss was in a bad mood. Both she and the Young Miss were very displeased about Xiaoyao being surrounded and attacked.

At this time, those Mo family members finally realized that they weren't invincible under heaven—others could suppress them anytime, anywhere.

"Indeed, they're all just small fry. Xiaoyao wouldn't bother calculating with these people either." Nangong Third Miss nodded. Her words made the Mo family members' faces burn with shame. At this moment, they couldn't help but acknowledge this point.

These people of theirs were, in Xiaoyao's eyes, nothing but small fry.

"Alright, then let's withdraw the troops. Don't let people misunderstand." Nangong Suxin said at this time.

"Right, withdraw the troops. Those who don't know might think our Nangong family came to attack the Mo family. Fortunately, Xiaoyao is fine, otherwise we'd have to bear this blame." Nangong Third Miss said.
