Chapter 347: Chapter 347
However, others weren't very satisfied with Xiaoyao's decision, especially the Mo family head. He couldn't accept others deciding his future , and what was even harder to accept was that after Xiaoyao appeared, everyone seemed to forget his existence and left him aside.
Although dealing with him wouldn't make him feel good either, this also made him feel terrible.
"What are you? What right do you have to decide my fate?"
"If you want to die, I can fulfill that wish. I just don't want the boss to bear this crime, but I can have others handle it," Xiaoyao said calmly, without particular emotion, as if this matter was completely insignificant.
"Grandfather, accept your fate. Xiaoyao handling it this way just restores the Mo family to its previous state—this is already the best result," the Young Miss frowned, really wanting to leave this place early.
"How can I accept fate? My fate is decided by me. Not by her, and certainly not by him." the Mo family head said coldly. Even though he discovered there were hardly any people around him at this moment, he still maintained his dignity.
"Why do you suddenly become enlightened at this moment? Isn't your fate arranged by heaven?" Xiaoyao looked at the Mo family head, not hiding his mocking intent at all.
"..." The Mo family head fell silent.
"I've calculated for you—today you will have your martial arts crippled, and the Mo family will also fall back to its original place. This is fate. You should follow fate and cripple your own martial arts," Xiaoyao put on the appearance of a charlatan, then reached out to snatch the last spring roll from the Young Miss's hand.
"What are you doing. I haven't eaten enough..." the Young Miss immediately shouted and prepared to snatch it back.
"Ah wu..." Xiaoyao quickly stuffed the spring roll into his mouth. "This spring roll is destined to be mine."
"Alright, I'll handle things here. You all go outside—I'll handle this." Nangong Suxin said at this moment, having Xiaoyao and others leave first, especially the Young Miss.
Because what she was about to do might make the Young Miss uncomfortable.
"Young Miss, let's go. Nangong Suxin, thank you for your hard work this time." Xiaoyao understood Nangong Suxin's meaning and pulled the Young Miss away. Of course, Guxing would also follow him.
"You only know how to care for them, making me do this kind of thing..." Nangong Suxin said irritably, though she had no real complaints about it. She was the best person to handle this matter here.
She had originally wanted to cripple this Mo family head. If it weren't for the Young Miss's sake earlier, she would have acted long ago. Now that she had this opportunity, it would be strange if she didn't take it.
However, this wasn't without consequences. The consequence was that she might be blamed by the Young Miss and hated by Mo family members, since she was going to deal with the Mo family head and the Mo family.
Of course, this wasn't particularly difficult for her, since she was originally from the Nangong family, which was the Mo family's rival. Because of this, her taking action this time would be natural and no one would say anything.
"Don't go too far..." the Young Miss said one last thing, then left without looking back. She believed Nangong Suxin would handle it well. After so many years, she understood Nangong Suxin's character and abilities very well, and knew her sense of propriety.
She also felt that Nangong Suxin was the best person for this job, and she knew that Nangong Suxin would show restraint for her sake and not be too harsh on the Mo family. As long as it wasn't too much, she wouldn't mind.
From the day the Mo family surrounded and attacked Xiaoyao, she had anticipated this day would come. She just hadn't expected it to come so quickly.
"What do you mean by this? What do you mean..." The Mo family head watched as Xiaoyao and others left, making him understand in his heart that those people didn't want to bother with him anymore because they no longer needed to.
He could vaguely guess what Nangong Suxin, who stayed behind, would do to him and to the Mo family—things he didn't want to see.
What he perhaps found even more unacceptable was that Xiaoyao and the others seemed to completely disregard him. Xiaoyao hadn't even looked at him properly from beginning to end, and although Guxing had wanted to kill him before, she changed because of Xiaoyao. This actually showed that Guxing also didn't care much about his existence—if she changed, she changed, it didn't matter.
From beginning to end, he was just an insignificant person, a nobody they didn't care about. This dealt a severe blow to his self-esteem, possibly more severe than all the other blows he had received.
"Alright, time to settle accounts. Family Head, I'll give you a dignified choice. You can cripple your own martial arts—completely. Otherwise, I'll do it myself." Nangong Suxin said coldly to the Mo family head, also speaking as if discussing a trivial matter.
"Others who participated that time, all of you cripple your martial arts too. Don't think you can get away with it. I've had the list from that day in my hands for a long time. Those who already left have gone ahead of you—you should feel lucky."
Nangong Suxin revealed something that shocked the Mo family members. They had thought this matter was over, but they hadn't expected others were still watching and weren't planning to let anyone go.
What they couldn't have imagined was that Nangong Suxin had been secretly enduring without showing it, but had already prepared everything in secret.
"Why? Why are you doing this?" The Mo family head didn't understand—was a small servant worth all this?
"You're still asking me why at this point? Do you think that having Mo Yu means you can move against anyone? Not to mention Mo Yu doesn't support you—even if she did, she wouldn't have the ability to help you bear the consequences." Nangong Suxin said coldly.
"I'll make it clear to you, since you are Mo Yu's grandfather. First, for a family to advance, it relies on foundation—you must climb up step by step, not rely on one outstanding genius. You might know this principle, but you didn't restrain your family members. They were too arrogant."
"Second, you didn't understand what Xiaoyao possesses. Young Prince of the Great Tang Empire—that's an identity he doesn't really want. If news of you moving against him got out, the first to arrive here wouldn't be the Great Tang Empire, but a dark organization. They would directly eliminate the Mo family. The Mo family wouldn't fall back to the starting point—it would be directly exterminated."
"What organization?" The Mo family head wanted to say Nangong Suxin was joking, but was there any need for her to do so? Absolutely not.
"You don't need to know. Also, you underestimated Guxing too much and didn't know the strength she possesses. Guxing is also very pitiful—if she hadn't met Xiaoyao, her whole life would have been ruined by you. I'm very unhappy about this, but you're lucky—you're their grandfather, so I don't want to act against you personally. Do it yourself." Nangong Suxin still gave the Mo family head a chance to handle it himself, but this depended on whether he would accept it.
"No, I won't cripple my own martial arts. I..." The Mo family head shook his head, firmly refusing this suggestion. Before he could finish speaking, he found Nangong Suxin had already appeared in front of him, then lifted him directly. After that, he felt his entire body being burned by a hot flame.
Soon, he discovered all the true qi in his body had dissipated, and his dantian was also shattered.
At this moment, the Mo family head finally understood that in front of these Emperor Level martial artists, he didn't even have the possibility of resistance. Guxing was , and so was Nangong Suxin.
"What are you doing? Let go of my father." the Mo family's eldest son roared and rushed toward Nangong Suxin.
"Uncle, please watch from the side. It wouldn't be good if you got hurt." Nangong Suxin threw the now-weakened Mo family head to the eldest son. The eldest son was the Young Miss's father and deserved respect.
Originally, the eldest son hadn't participated in that siege. He didn't support the Mo family head's behavior, so he had been excluded from the power center.
At the same time, after Nangong Suxin took action, some people suddenly appeared—people the Mo family members hadn't detected. They were all Nangong Suxin's personal guards, though there were also some belonging to the Young Miss and Third Miss Nangong. Having more people made this easier.
These personal guards were all capable military experts, more than sufficient to deal with a small family like the Mo family. Even just ten or so could destroy the Mo family, let alone the forty or fifty who had come this time.
Originally, these people had come to provide support—to support the Young Miss against a strong enemy. They hadn't expected this strong enemy to be Guxing, and even less expected that support would turn into destruction.
However, they didn't mind. Although they didn't have the intention of avenging Xiaoyao, they could still feel the Young Miss's frustration and Nangong Suxin's anger. Therefore, they also wanted to take action and vent.
"Uncle, I have nothing more to do here, so I'll take my leave. I still need to have some private words with the little servant," Nangong Suxin smiled and politely excused herself, leaving behind a ground full of wounded. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel-fire.net
After this incident, the Mo family had declined, though it wouldn't fall completely because of the Young Miss's existence. The Mo family could at least live peacefully for the next few decades. Whether they could rise again would depend on the efforts of future generations.
After leaving, Nangong Suxin went to catch up with Xiaoyao and others, while those personal guards disappeared after completing their mission, as if they had never appeared.
This was the main reason the Mo family members had no ideas of resistance—with such a group of people whose location they didn't know but who could eliminate them at any time, how could they dare think of anything?
