hird Young Master was hiding something Was he acting beforeThese doubts were quickly put to rest, as the fact was undeniable. The Third Young Master was simply an ordinary person, not hiding anything...Chapter 312: Powerlessness (Part 2)

"It's precisely because of this possibility that he wants to clarify it." The eldest Miss didn't give the headmaster of the Mo Family any hope, causing the headmaster's heart to slowly sink into an icy pit.

That's right, when asking about his background, besides not knowing anything, another possible reason is to confirm!

"Then what kind of imperial clan is he" The headmaster of the Mo Family could only hope now that this Free-and-Easy Prince comes from a peripheral branch of the imperial family, one that claims royal status but has become somewhat distant in blood ties with the current emperor.

"The emperor's nephew, his own sister’s son!" The eldest Miss once again crushed the morale of the Mo Family members.

Not only was this not a peripheral branch, it was one of the core members of the imperial clan. This time, things were getting serious; if they pursued it further, the Mo Family would truly face an existential crisis.

Why is that so How could he possibly be part of the Tang Dynasty Imperial Clan...

Perhaps, this was not something we should have acted upon. This way, we wouldn't have unnecessarily brought about such trouble. Could it really be true as he said, that fate is a consequence of one's actions

It's because I believed in my own fate that I went after him; and precisely because I did so, this fate became reality. Indeed, this is quite ironic.

If this were the case, then how was my treatment of Mo Ling similar If back then I had treated her as a granddaughter, perhaps she wouldn't have posed any threat to the Mo Family.

Did I make a mistake

No, I didn’t make a mistake. What I did was change my own fate and clear obstacles for myself. This is what everyone would choose to do; therefore, I did nothing wrong!

"But he hasn't confirmed it yet, maybe he isn't," the headmaster of the Mo Family clung to hope.

"He hasn’t confirmed it, but once he does, no matter how this plays out, the Tang Dynasty will recognize his status as a prince. As long as Princess Longguan treats him like her own nephew, his background won't affect his identity. The only fear is if he denies it himself." The eldest Miss shook her head; she was beginning to lose faith in her grandfather.

At this point, what more could one hope for Even if Free-and-Easy Prince isn’t truly from the imperial family, even if they strip him of his title later on, right now he represents that status. If we act against him now, it's equivalent to acting against a prince of the Tang Dynasty; once the empire learns about this, they will definitely pursue us.

This is an issue of face; such things are not tolerated. Because if they were allowed to happen even once, there would be a second time, and for them as the imperial clan, it would mean a great humiliation.

Considering how powerful the Tang Dynasty is now, how could they bear such humiliation Thus, should this matter come to their attention, regardless of what happens with Free-and-Easy Prince in the future, they will not change their oppression or even destruction of the Mo Family.

"Princess Longguan" For the Mo Family, contacting Princess Longguan was almost impossible. The eldest Miss wouldn't casually mention her either, so he had no knowledge about the princess.

"Princess Longguan is not only the emperor's sister but also possesses overwhelming martial strength herself. She could crush the Mo Family with just a finger movement. Even if I wanted to stop it, I couldn’t!" The eldest Miss continued to drop bombshells, letting the headmaster fully understand what kind of situation they were facing.

"..." The headmaster remained silent; this time he seemed unable to find any words to say. This was a very bad situation, and he had a feeling that it might be the reason for the Mo Family’s downfall, something brought about by himself. It was truly tragic.

Moreover, the eldest Miss wasn't satisfied yet: "Princess Longguan cherishes Free-and-Easy Prince immensely, practically treating him as her own son. If she learns of today's events, the consequences will be severe."

"..." The headmaster fell completely silent.

“Master, my mother is seriously ill; I cannot serve you while being filially dutiful to her. So, I see that I must leave your service at the Mo Family.” A person suddenly spoke up and then left without waiting for a response from the headmaster.

This was an extremely shrewd individual who understood that the Mo Family had now offended both the Tang Dynasty and an unparalleled martial artist. If they were pursued, it would be tragic; staying here was far too dangerous.

With his skills, he could easily find another position elsewhere; why risk his life Thus, he used this excuse to leave.

"That is, my mother asked me back home for a matchmaker meeting. A marriage cannot be delayed. So I won't occupy an important position here anymore and will take my leave." One who often said women are like clothes spoke very seriously and then left.

“My son turned one last year; I'll go back to help him celebrate his first birthday and enjoy some family happiness. May I resign”

"...

One by one, the excuses started pouring in, and half of them left. The ones who remained were either lone individuals who weren’t afraid to die or original members of Mohism.

The family head of Mohism felt powerless upon seeing this scene and almost couldn't stand anymore.

All the development over these years might have to return to square one, and it could even be worse. They had to face many unavoidable opponents in the future.

Miss One merely watched coldly from the side; she didn’t say anything because whether or not to keep these people wasn’t really a problem for her. She believed that Mohism needed to clean up their act, and this time could serve as a lesson. Otherwise, given Mohism’s arrogant attitude now, they would eventually face problems.

She herself had serious issues too, but the person she represented was not Mohism; it was just her personally. She wouldn’t use Mohism to bully others either, something that hadn’t happened before and certainly wasn’t going to happen now.

The situation was different for these people from Mohism. They constantly used the banner of Mohism and also Miss One’s name. This might be fine within Tianfeng Kingdom, but outside, it would inevitably cause trouble. Moreover, if they encountered someone too powerful to provoke, the consequences would be even more tragic.

Xiaoyao now played this role perfectly; he allowed Mohism to reflect on their actions. For Miss One, it was also a positive outcome.

“Now you can tell me what Xiaoyao said before leaving. Did he mention wanting revenge” After those people left and she gave the family head of Mohism time to ponder, Miss One finally asked.

She already knew about Xiaoyao’s departure; otherwise, she would have inquired about his whereabouts earlier. This information wasn’t from Third Miss Nan Gong but rather something she overheard shortly after arriving, when people were discussing it.

If Xiaoyao could leave so calmly and confidently, she wouldn’t worry about him because she had faith in him. Knowing secret passages was just routine for him; it was very simple.

However, she knew that with this departure, he definitely wouldn’t return and wouldn't bid her farewell either; instead, he would leave directly to Dongou Kingdom.

Originally, a proper farewell should have been given, but under the current circumstances, it was clear he wouldn’t stay. Neither she nor Nan Gong Su Xin expected him to remain here.

"He didn't say anything specific. He just left a message for you, saying that he would do his own business and had no choice but to leave without bidding farewell... Also, he told me to take care of myself," the family head of Mohism said.

“This should be fine then. Just remember this lesson. There's one more thing: I’ll stay in the Tang Empire for a long time after this meeting ends. If Guxing returns home, we'll come back together.” The last sentence clearly implied that if Guxing didn't return, neither would she; she was already disappointed with Mohism.

Perhaps it was just anger talking now, but in the near future, she wouldn’t be returning. She also wouldn’t care about what happened to Mohism.

"How did you guys take so long inside Where’s Xiaoyao" Third Miss Nan Gong finally entered and asked anxiously when things were almost concluded.

“Ah, I forgot about Su Su…,” Miss One hit her head. “It's like this: When we came in just now, Xiaoyao had already left through a secret passage in the room alone; very safe!”

"Then who were those people that just left If there’s no problem with them, I’ll let them go," Third Miss Nan Gong glared at her and then got down to business.

"Just now Oh, they’re the ones who saw Mohism causing trouble and left. Let them all go; although they surrounded Xiaoyao too, they're just minor figures. It's not worth considering them much." Miss One understood whom Third Miss Nan Gong was referring to.

Indeed, during this time, the entire Mohism had been surrounded by Third Miss Nan Gong’s people, and no one could leave. Those who left were naturally captured.

Although they came here for a peaceful military conference, with their numbers, it was easy to deal with Mohism.

Of course, during the process, the members of Mohism also showed arrogance and had conflicts, but these were quickly suppressed very harshly because Third Miss Nan Gong wasn’t in a good mood. She and Miss One were both upset about Xiaoyao being surrounded.

The members of Mohism finally realized they weren't invincible; others could suppress them at any time.

"Indeed, these are just minor figures. Xiaoyao wouldn't care much about such people," Third Miss Nan Gong nodded, making the members of Mohism feel their faces burning as they couldn’t deny this point now.

These people were merely minor figures in Xiaoyao’s eyes!!

"Alright, then let's withdraw. We don't want others to misunderstand," Su Xin said at that moment.

"Right. Let’s go; otherwise, it might be misunderstood as our Nan Gong family attacking Mohism. Fortunately, Xiaoyao didn’t have any issues, otherwise we’d have a black mark on us for sure," Third Miss Nan Gong said.reen Dragon Society and other sects issued a manhunt order: The young masters and second-generation members had been eliminated, so no one pursued them.They didn't know who had killed those scoundrels...
