Chapter 23 It's Time to Go Back

  Not long after the old men left, the guests also bid farewell one after another.

  Those who can be invited to attend the banquet at Old Tang's home are not ordinary characters. These big shots are busy every day and naturally cannot stay here for too long.

  Mo Hongjun also left. Tang Weiguo originally wanted him to stay at the Tang's house, but unfortunately Mo Hongjun's resentment towards the Tang family was not something that could be eliminated in a short period of time.

  Before leaving, he asked Mo Shaokun when he was going to go back. Mo Shaokun thought for a moment and told him that maybe he would be back in two days. Mo Hongjun said that since that's the case, he might as well stay in Kyoto for another two days and leave with Mo Shaokun then.

  Actually, Mo Shaokun had already decided to return to Anping as soon as possible before the family banquet today. Now that the old man's body has gradually recovered, as long as he takes good care of himself, he believes it won't be long before he can recover fully. He really didn't need to stay any longer.

  Although he had some feelings with the Tang family during this period, Mo Shaokun was not a person who used emotions to do things, let alone having his own blueprint in mind!

  Came to the old man's house and knocked gently on the door. After a while, the old man's voice came from inside.

  "Come in."

  Mo Shaokun gently pushed open the door and was about to greet Old Master when he unexpectedly saw that Eldest Uncle Tang Jianguo was also there.

  "Grandpa, Big Uncle." He smiled slightly and said, not waiting for the two to speak up again: "Am I disturbing you? Then I'll come back later."

  He said and prepared to close the door and leave.

  "Wait, Shaokun." Tang Jianguo called out to Mo Shaokun.

  At this moment, he was flushed with joy, his eyes shining with an irrepressible delight, it was clear that the old master had already told him of Nangong's decision.

  "Has your uncle left?" Tang Jianguo asked.

  "Ah, just left."

  "Hey, your uncle has a deep misunderstanding of our Tang family. In the future, if you have the chance, talk to him more." Tang Jianguo said, unknowingly adding the phrase "our Tang family".

  If it was said that Tang Jian Guo accepted Mo Shao Kun earlier because of the old master and Mo Hong Yue's departure back then, now Tang Jian Guo has officially acknowledged Mo Shao Kun! The reason is none other than the existence of Mo Hong Jun!

  The power of the Mo family in the military is enough to make any faction or family move, and the Tang family is no exception! If they can win over the Mo family through Mo Shaokun, the only bloodline of the old Mo family, it would be a huge surprise for the Tang family.

  In the eyes of the Tang family today, Mo Shao Kun is no longer just an ordinary member of the Tang family, but also a key figure in whether two major forces can join hands. Such a person, even if it is the current head of the Tang family, Tang Jian Guo, cannot help but treat with caution.

  If it were the old Mo Shaokun, he might not have been so mindful of his uncle's words, but the reborn him was clearly aware of the small abacus in his uncle's heart.

  He smiled lightly and said nothing, just nodding his head, he knew that at this time he couldn't express his opinion.

  "You must have something to ask of Grandfather, I'll leave first then." Tang Jian Guo stood up, said a word to the old man and patted Mo Shao Kun's shoulder before leaving the bedroom.

  "Sit down." The old man pointed to the sofa beside him, and whenever he was with Mo Shaokun, his face always wore a kind smile.

  He is more and more fond of this grandson who grew up outside since childhood. At first, he was only good to Mo Shaokun because of the guilt in his heart, but after spending more than a month together, he found that this little grandson was not simple at all.

  A young man who has been living in that kind of environment since childhood suddenly came to the Tang family's mansion and should be at a loss, but Mo Shao Kun didn't! From start to finish, he always appeared very calm, as if everything about the Tang family was nothing special in his eyes.

  Not to mention an eighteen-year-old boy, even adults would be nervous when they see those big shots and can't help themselves, and even speaking will stutter. But Mo Shaokun still didn't!

  Although he also appears slightly tense, he can quickly calm down and even chat with those big shots that most people can't touch!

  That alone was enough to make anyone look at Mo Shao Kun in a new light. If Tang Jian Guo and the others only valued his identity for the benefits it brought, then Old Master valued him for his own potential!

  How many people in this vast land of China can achieve such feats at his age? Even the young masters from influential families who have been in contact with prominent figures for years may not be stronger than him!

  With this temperament, as long as he is cultivated a bit more, Lao Yezi believes that his future will be bright and promising, and it's even possible that he'll surpass Tang Yu Yang to become the most outstanding one among the third generation of the Tang family!

  Of course, he wouldn't say such things now. At this time, Mo Shaokun is like a fledgling who needs care and protection. He certainly won't bring more trouble to his precious grandson at this juncture.

  "Shao Kun, what brings you to find your grandfather?" The old man asked softly.

  Mo Shaokun suddenly felt a little hard to speak, he had thought of the words earlier, but who knew that when he saw the old man, he couldn't say it out loud. He knew that if he told the old man he was leaving, the old man would definitely be reluctant to let him go.

  Biting his teeth, Mo Shaokun finally steeled himself and said: "Grandfather, I...I want to tell you something. The day after tomorrow, I plan to return to Anping."

  The old man was slightly stunned, and the smile on his face gradually solidified as he said, "So anxious?"

  "I've been in Kyoto for over a month now, and there are still many things that haven't been taken care of back home. Moreover, it's only another month before school starts, so I should probably head back to prepare."

  The old man's expression slightly darkened upon hearing this, and he opened his mouth as if to say something, but ultimately let out a light sigh without saying anything.

  "Grandpa, don't worry, I'll come back to see you after my vacation, okay?"

  "Child, Grandfather can't bear to part with you. How about this? Why don't you just come to Kyoto for university instead? You can choose whichever school you like, it's up to you!" said the old man.

  Mo Shaokun let out a bitter laugh and shook his head, saying: "Do you know why I don't want to stay in Kyoto? It's not that I don't want to be with you, but... it's just that I've grown accustomed to my way of life. I know that if I stay in Kyoto, my future will be bright, but that's not what I want."

  The old man didn't say a word, he understood Mo Shaokun's meaning.

  Mo Shaokun's childhood experiences had predetermined that he would have a stronger sense of self-respect than anyone else, and he did not want to accept the protection of the Tang family; he wanted to rely on himself.

  For a moment, the old man felt conflicted. On one hand, he was delighted that young people these days could give up such superior conditions to choose independence. On the other hand, his heart ached as during his coma, his consciousness was clear and he had heard Mo Shaokun's past. At this moment, hearing him say so, the old man couldn't help but recall those bloody events again.

  After a long while, the old man sighed and said: "Alright, Grandpa respects your decision, but you also have to promise Grandpa that no matter what happens, you must take good care of yourself. If anything happens, go find your aunt, got it?"

  "Hmm." Mo Shaokun nodded and also let out a sigh of relief in his heart. If the old man insisted on making him stay, he really didn't know how to handle it.

  "Also, from now on, every time you have a holiday, come back and visit Grandpa. No matter if you are willing to live here or not, remember that this will always be your home!"
