Hearing this, Mo Weifeng was in a state of bewilderment, like a monk who has just been struck by lightning. What did these two people mean? Why were they no longer so eager about the marriage of the child?
Chang Baoshan waved at Mo Wenjie from the podium.
Mo Wenjie walked onto the podium.
Chang Baoshan said: Master Mo, the Xuancheng Alchemy Association of Kunlun Qiu has earnestly invited your joining and appointed you as the president of the association.
Mo Wenjie said: I can join the Alchemy Association, but I will not take on the role of president. The reason is simple; I have many things to attend to in the secular world. And here, I would like to announce that all sects and noble families of Kunlun Qiu, as well as solitary cultivators, must not cause trouble in the secular world and must not support any secular sects or noble families that disturb the order of the secular world. If anyone violates this, do not blame me for being ungracious.
The crowd heard these words and all replied that they would never do such a thing.
You are a senior alchemist of Kunlun Qiu, the only seven-level alchemist. Who dare oppose you? That is equivalent to asking for death. We are not stupid enough to jeopardize our own lives by doing such a thing.
All the sects and noble families expressed their willingness to invite Mo Wenjie as their guest advisor, with the terms left to his discretion.
Mo Wenjie smiled and said: Thank you for your kind offer. I will not accept the position of guest advisor for any sect or noble family. However, if any sect or noble family has a particular need, they can always seek the help of the Alchemy Association. If the Association is unable to produce a particular type of pill, I will be happy to assist in its creation.
In the end, everyone reached a consensus with Chang Baoshan that if the Alchemy Association was unable to produce a certain type of pill, they would notify Mo Wenjie to help with its creation.
The five-yearly Alchemy Competition has come to a close.
Mo Wenjie returned to the Mo Estate, and Yao Wanting smiled and said: Wenjie, we have discussed with Yunning. We are planning to marry you and Qingyao in the near future. As for Lingyue and Manru, they have also agreed, and they will get married on the same day.
Mo Wenjie said: Just do as you please with these matters. I'll leave everything to my parents' decisions.
Mo Weifeng laughed heartily and said: Then I'll discuss your wedding with my younger brother Guo Chen. Just wait there, you'll be the groom!
Mo Wenjie said: I am getting married, and I can't invite anyone else. However, I must notify my teachers and bring them to Kunlun to witness my coming-of-age ceremony.
Mo Weifeng and Yao Wanting said: That would be the best. We also want to express our gratitude to them in person for your upbringing and teaching. Without them, we might never see you again, this favor cannot be too small. Our Mo family must repay them.
Mo Wenjie nodded in agreement, saying: Once I bring the teachers back from the secular world, we will decide on the wedding date.
Mo Weifeng and Yao Wanting also wholeheartedly agreed with his opinion.
Mo Wenjie said: Qingyao, come with me back to the secular world and pick up our teachers.
Zhao Manru and Qin Lingyue stood up and said: We are also your wives; welcoming the teachers back is our share too. Therefore, we have decided to go with you.
Yao Wanting looked at the three beautiful and graceful daughters-in-law and felt delighted in her heart. Since they all want to go, let them go. With more people, it will be more lively, and being with young people is more interesting than being with us.
Mo Wenjie departed from Kunlun Qiu with the three women.
Mo Wenjie and the three women arrived at the Xinlan Province International Airport, when suddenly a young man, dressed neatly, intercepted Zhou Manru.
Hello, beautiful. My name is Gao Qiqiang. May I know your name?
Zhou Manru didn't respond to him at all, which made Gao Qiqiang feel very embarrassed. He glared at her and said angrily: Little girl, I'm talking to you because I respect you. What are you pulling? Do you really think I can't do anything about it?
Mo Wenjie looked at the arrogance of Gao Qiqiang and said, "She's my woman. You want to hit on her, and she doesn't respond to you, so you threaten her. Isn't that too domineering?"
Gao Qiqiang looked at Mo Wenjie's ordinary clothes and felt that this kid dared to speak to him arrogantly. It was challenging his authority as a young master. With disdain in his eyes, he looked at Mo Wenjie and said, "Who the hell are you to talk to me like that? Don't you know how to write the word 'death'? If you're smart, you should leave quickly and not disturb me and the beautiful woman in our discussion of life.
Mo Wenjie really didn't want to bother with such a person, but why did they have to deliberately seek trouble? It was truly helpless!
Seeing that Mo Wenjie showed no reaction, Gao Qiqiang thought he was frightened dumb. You little punk, you'd better scram right now, don't linger here and block my sight. Otherwise, I won't be nice to you. I see you're a motorbike person, looking for a kick, huh!
Ding Qingyao couldn't bear it anymore. She raised her hand and slapped Gao Qiqiang so hard that he was sent spinning three times in place.
Gao Qiqiang was stunned by Ding Qingyao's slap. What the hell was happening? In Xinlan Province, someone dared to strike him. This is just looking for death! It's like shining a lantern in the toilet, which is asking for trouble. He pointed at Ding Qingyao and said angrily: Bitch, you dare to slap my young master? You have any lives left to pay for this? If you want to live, serve me well tonight. Otherwise, get ready to die!
Zhao Manru giggled and said: Since our big sister has taken action, we can't lag behind, either. With that, she raised her hand and also gave Gao Qiqiang a slap, sending him spinning three times in place again.
Qin Lingyue didn't say anything either. She raised her hand and gave Gao Qiqiang another slap. Poor Gao Qiqiang, who had just regained his footing, was sent spinning three more times, making six circles in total. He was really dizzy and fell to the ground with a thud.
Mo Wenjie and the three women passed the ticket checkpoint and directly boarded the plane.
It took Gao Qiqiang a long time to come to his senses. Being struck on his territory like this, and by three women no less, was unimaginable. How was he supposed to survive in the circle now? If others found out, he wouldn't even be able to stand on his own two feet there. This matter could not be settled like this; revenge must be taken, and they must pay a heavy price.
When he reached the ticket counter, the plane was about to take off. He immediately pulled out his phone and dialed a call: "Dad, I was beaten up at the airport. You have to take revenge for me."
When high Liansheng heard that his son had been beaten up, a surge of anger rose within him. Who in Xinlan Province has the audacity to beat his son? This is pure provocation! He asked: What are the names of the people who beat your son, and have you investigated their backgrounds?
Gao Qiqiang: I didn't ask their names. I just knew he was with three beautiful women. Want to know his name? It's easy enough. Just ask the staff at the civil aviation ticket counter. They should know the ticket information for a man and three women.
Gao Lianheng: You wait for my message.
Gao Lianheng hung up the phone and immediately dialed the New Lan Civil Aviation Administration: Director Du, I am Gao Lianheng. You need to check the destinations of all the flights about to take off from New Lan Airport. Now, I need you to find out the ticket information for a man and three women.
Duan Changming: Governor Deputy Gao, why are you looking into the ticket information for a man and three women?
Gao Lianheng: This man and three women beat up my son at the airport. I want to know their information. If their flight hasn't taken off yet, let the airport police arrest them and hand them over to me for disposal.
Duan Changming: Governor Deputy Gao, I can help you check the ticket information of the purchasers, but it's against the rules to involve the airport police in capturing them. I really don't have a choice, as revealing their information is already against regulations.
Gao Lianheng: It's just some ordinary people, right? Are you really that scared, Old Duan? You're making a mountain out of a molehill.
Duan Changming: Governor Deputy Gao, rules are rules. I can't violate them! Please understand my predicament.
Gao Lianheng: Old Duan, do you think you won't need me anymore in the future? You push and shove like this when I ask for a small favor. Don't call me when you need help next time.
Gao Lianheng hung up the phone in anger.
Duan Changming looked at his phone and shook his head in frustration. This old Gao continues to help his son without any conditions, and there will definitely be a day when he regrets it. He's already in that position, why can't he use a bit of common sense? The reason why the man and three women beat up his son must be because of his reckless son hitting on them. There must be no other reason. Since he insists on helping his son's mess, no one can help him.
Gao Lianheng, after obtaining information through other channels, found out that the person who beat his son was a security guard from the New City Flying Group Company in Hainan Province. He nearly burst into rage at this news and decided to take revenge on the culprits. No one can be left unpunished for this audacious act.
Mo Wenjie and the three women boarded the plane, heading for the New City. He was unaware that trouble had already followed them.
A man and three women walked out of the airport. Su Xueqing saw Mo Wenjie and smiled brightly, walking over to him.
Mo Wenjie, you're back! These three must be Ding Qingyao, Qin Lingyue, and Zhou Manru, right?
Mo Wenjie nodded and said: Let me introduce them. Su Xueqing is the president of Flying Group Company, my first boss after descending from the mountains, and also my first woman. Ding Qingyao is a childhood betrothal arranged by my parents, and she is recognized as the legitimate wife. Qin Lingyue is my close friend, and Zhou Manru is someone whose ancestral legacy I have accepted; I am responsible for her.
Su Xueqing said: They are all family, let's talk about it when we get back!
A man and four women left the airport and returned to Flying Group Company.
Su Xueqing looked at the three women who were no less impressive than herself and couldn't help feeling a bit envious. After all, she was someone who lived in the secular world and had never been to Kunlun Qiu. She didn't know that in Kunlun Qiu, a powerful man could have multiple consorts.
Mo Wenjie would naturally understand Su Xueqing's thoughts. He had no intention of explaining it either. After all, some things are better left unexplained, and it's easier to let things take their natural course.
Ding Qingyao and the others were so smart that they couldn't miss the awkward scene. She spoke up, "Xueqing sister, since you are Wenjie's woman, I won't keep anything from you. We have come to pick up Wenjie's three teachers to act as our witnesses for our marriage in Kunlun Qiu. There is no marriage law in Kunlun Qiu, nor is there a one-man-one-wife system. As long as you are a strong man, you will have many consorts. If you are weak, you may not even have one woman."
In Kunlun Qiu, a strong man can have many concubines or secondary wives, but there is only one legitimate wife, the one arranged by parents and matched by a matchmaker. Although I am recognized as the legitimate wife by everyone, I have never thought of trying to dominate others. You can be assured of that. Of course, as Wenjie's first woman, your status is not much lower than mine. My only request is that we work together to let Wenjie walk even higher and further without any worries.
Su Xueqing said: I share the same thoughts. I will also work towards this direction.
Ding Qingyao nodded approvingly, so in the future, we must work together!
Suddenly, a voice echoed: "He dare to leave me and see if he can get away with it!"
