Five elders spoke in unison: We solemnly comply with Master's younger brother's edict.
Mo Wenjie came into the hall and sat down in a chair. The five elders knelt on the ground and said, "We respectfully bow three times to the Master's younger brother!"
Mo Wenjie said: Please rise, brothers. From now on, I am no longer the Master's younger brother but your little brother. You all must abide by the agreement.
The five elders said: We follow the instructions of the Master's younger brother.
Mo Wenjie took out five life-extending pills from his pocket and said, "Brothers, this is my gift for you. It can add twenty years to each of your lives."
Big Brother Zhang Linjiang said: Master's younger brother, I heard from Master that the small life-extending pill is not supposed to add ten years to one's lifespan?
Mo Wenjie said: Big Brother, the Master said the life-extending effect of the small life-extending pill is for ten years, but the life-extending pills I have made for you are stronger than the small ones, twice as effective.
Fifth Brother Tang Baichuan said: Little brother's medical skills far surpass those of our Master. We are truly ashamed, as our medical skills cannot even compare to your ten percent.
Mo Wenjie said: Brother Teng, please don't say that. You are the towering figure in the Dragon State Traditional Chinese Medicine, the head of the Country Medicine Hall, and the Department Manager of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Second Brother Li Zhengyang said: Thank you, Master's younger brother, for saving Little Bei's life.
Mo Wenjie said: Brother Li, we are one family. Saving Little Bei is my responsibility.
Li Zhengyang said: Master's younger brother, Master Yuxia said that your current strength is at the peak of Wushenjing realm.
Mo Wenjie said: Just so-so!
Fourth Brother Gongsun Yu said: Master's younger brother, I heard that Master Yuxia and the others said that the talisman you made is blessed by a three-fold array. As the president of the Yi Jiu Association, I can only create a one-fold array. You truly make us blush!
Mo Wenjie said: Brother Gong, there's no need for such formalities. We are family. If there is anything that the younger brother can assist you with, I will do my utmost to help.
Third Brother Qi Rongguang said: Don't make any formalities with the little brother, everyone. We're all family. If you need the little brother's help, just ask directly.
Zhang Linjiang said: Little brother, we will arrange for the younger generation to meet you later. For today's dinner, let them all come over. We will discuss the matter for those working outside first.
Mo Wenjie said: Big Brother, you don't have to be so troublesome!
Zhang Linjiang said: Little brother, it's not a trouble at all. If they don't meet you, then wherever they might encounter you later and not recognize you, and inadvertently clash with you, that wouldn't be good. Let everyone in the capital come back to meet you.
Mo Wenjie sighed and said: Then let's follow Big Brother's words!
Qi Rongguang said: Little brother, you don't need to have any burden. They are all your juniors, and in the future, they will still need your attention and care.
Mo Wenjie said: Third Brother, we are all family. No matter what they have to deal with, I won't stand by and do nothing.
Tang Baichuan said: Little brother! Our seniors are all old, and the future depends on you to lead them. The three Masters often tell us that you have a compassionate heart, and you always act with discipline. We unconditionally follow you. Although you possess extraordinary skills to save countless lives, you never boast or brag about it.
Mo Wenjie said: Brother Huang, I didn't tell you that I was in Xincheng, and I didn't let him say it. Don't blame him.
Tang Baichuan said: Since you've said so, little brother, I'll forgive him.
Li Yuxia walked in and said: The seniors are all waiting outside.
Zhang Linjiang said: Brothers, go out and let them pay their respects to the Master's younger brother.
The six brothers walked out of the hall and into the courtyard.
There were already more than twenty men and women waiting there in the courtyard at this moment.
Zhang Linjiang said: This is your little uncle. All of you pay your respects to him!
More than twenty men and women knelt down and kowtowed, saying: We pay our respects to our little uncle!
Mo Wenjie raised both hands upwards and said: All of you get up please!
More than twenty men and women rose to their feet without their own initiative. They were all shocked beyond belief, as if someone had pulled them up.
Mo Wenjie said, waving his hands, "This is my gift for you. Everyone except the three sisters of the Li family now has a jade amulet in their hands."
Gongsun Yu said, "The talisman given to you by your little uncle is stronger than the one I made by a hundredfold. You must always carry it with you to ensure your safety."
Li Zhengyang said, "The talisman given to you by your little uncle can counterattack any of my attacks with overwhelming force. You will be so severely injured that I won't have the capability to make further moves against you."
The more than twenty men and women were utterly startled upon hearing this. This little uncle of theirs was too formidable. Initially, when they heard about the little uncle's rescue of Xiao Li Bei from the Li sisters, they were already shocked beyond measure. Now, after hearing Second Uncle say this, they were even more surprised. Second Uncle is a Wuhunjing martial artist; if he would be counterattacked with severe injuries, it could only be imagined how high the martial arts cultivation of their little uncle must be!
The more than twenty men and women spoke in unison: "Thank you, little uncle!"
Qi Rongguang said, "In the future, when you meet your little uncle, be more respectful than you are to us. This is a favor your little uncle has given us. Otherwise, every time we meet your little uncle, we would have to bow to the Master's younger brother."
The more than twenty men and women sucked in a breath of cool air. If even their own elders had to kowtow, how could they dare not respect their little uncle?
Zhang Linjiang said, "I must warn you all. Anyone who dares to show disrespect towards your little uncle will have us expel him from the family. We don't tolerate such behavior!"
Qi Rongguang looked at Zhou Qian said: Is this the little sister-in-law?
Zhou Qianqian was still in shock and had not yet come to her senses. More than twenty men and women were kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to Mo Wenjie. This was too shocking for her to believe; among these people, some were even ones she had seen on TV, including several deputy minister-level officials. Mo Wenjie's identity was too terrifying.
Mo Wenjie smiled and said, "Not yet."
Zhou Qianqian's face turned ugly, but she dare not defy Mo Wenjie. Anyone among them could easily wipe out the Zhou family.
Qi Rongguang said: That means it's possible in the future. Young miss, where are you from?
Zhou Qianqian's face turned red as she said, "My grandfather is Zhou Shuyu, and my name is Zhou Qianqian."
Qi Rongguang said, "Oh! The Zhou family from the capital, not bad, not bad! Let's go to the dining hall to have our meal!"
Li Xiaobei ran in with several young men, knelt down, and kowtowed around in a circle, saying, "Grandpa, elders! Uncle, aunties! Uncle, uncle, auntie!"
Li Xiaobei stood up and said, "I called them over to pay their respects to our little uncle. When he saw Zhou Qianqian, he said, 'The little auntie is also here!'"
Zhou Qianqian blushed and nodded slightly.
Mo Wenjie looked at these young people and smiled, saying, "I'll give you a talisman to wear."
One of the young people said, "I'm Zhang Kai. I heard that Little Bei was in a state of suspended animation for over half an hour, and you managed to revive him. What's even more incredible is that he recovered from his injuries like nothing had happened."
Mo Wenjie said: The medical arts in Longguo are profound and extensive, with countless techniques. There's nothing strange about it.
Another young man said, "Uncle, my name is Qi Zhaoyang. I heard Aunt Yuxia say that you are at the peak of the Wushen realm. That's not like being invincible in the world, right?"
Mo Wenjie smiled and said, "There are always people greater than oneself and higher forces in the world. No one is truly invincible."
Another young man said, "Uncle, my name is Gongsun Sheng. I have a special fondness for arts and techniques. Uncle, can you show us some high-level arts and techniques?"
Mo Wenjie said, "Have you delved into the inner door of the study of arts and techniques?"
Gongsun Yu said, "Little brother, you overvalue him. He hasn't even reached the outer door of the study of arts and techniques, and I, as a senior brother, have only recently entered the inner door of it."
Mo Wenjie said, "Brother, I will demonstrate the Huichun Technique for you. How much you can understand depends on my Master's comprehension. I hope Brother can make further progress."
Mo Wenjie walked over to a peach tree, which was barren and devoid of leaves in the winter. With one hand, he pressed the Taishang Laojun Seal, and with the other hand, he placed it on the peach tree. He recited incantations with his mouth. In less than three minutes, the branches of the peach tree began to sprout buds and slowly bloom with flowers.
Everyone present was shocked beyond belief.
Gongsun Yu suddenly understood something and was overjoyed, saying to Mo Wenjie, "Thank you, little brother."
Mo Wenjie said, "Congratulations, senior brother. You've made another step forward."
Li Xiaobei said proudly, "I said that Little Uncle is a god, but you all didn't believe it. Now do you believe me?"
Qi Rongguang said, "No wonder the Masters said that little brother is a rare talent in the world, destined for ascension."
Gongsun Yu said excitedly, "Our Juelong Gate may lead the way for major clans in the future."
Zhang Linjiang said, "Little brother, let's go have our meal."
The group sat at four tables.
Mo Wenjie and his six brothers, together with Zhou Qianqian, sat together. They all hoped that Mo Wenjie would find a girlfriend soon. They were all staring at Zhou Qianqian, making her feel embarrassed.
After the meal, Zhang Linjiang said, "Little brother, are you going to stay at your third uncle's place or come back with me to live in the military department?"
Li Zhengyang said, "Little brother, why don't you stay at the Wuhun Hall?"
Mo Wenjie said, "I'll still stay here with my third brother. It might not be as peaceful at my third uncle's place."
Qi Rongguang said, "Little brother, my brother's place is heavily guarded. Shouldn't there be any trouble?"
Mo Wenjie said, "From the look of your face, I see that you're in danger in the next few days. You must keep the jade amulet with you at all times. For these days, I'll act as your bodyguard to prevent any unforeseen incidents!"
Qi Rongguang said, "As long as little brother says there will be danger, there will be danger. Thank you, little brother, for your help."
Mo Wenjie said, "Senior Brother, you are my junior brother. You don't need to say such things to me."
Zhang Linjiang said, "Those scoundrels are always up to their tricks and plots. If they have the courage, let them face us with real blades and firearms."
Mo Wenjie said, "If I find out who is plotting against your third senior brother, I will go to their country for a visit."
Zhang Linjiang said, "Third senior brother, let's talk to the higher-ups about it. We should give little brother a proper identity so that he can scare off those scoundrels."
Qi Rongguang said, "I've already discussed this with those few, but since little brother hadn't arrived, I didn't mention it to my fellow brothers and sisters. Tomorrow, I'll tell them that little brother has arrived."
Li Zhengyang said, "Little brother, let Xiaobei take you to visit the capital. Don't stay with us old guys."
Qi Rongguang said, "You guys take your little uncle to play."
Zhang Linjiang said, "While you guys take your little uncle out to have fun, make sure not to cause any trouble. But if anyone dares to provoke your little uncle without a reason, make them give an explanation to their elders."
Li Xiaobei happily said, "Please rest assured, seniors. No one dares to offend my little uncle."
