144 The Yun Clan (2/2)

Aunty Wang looked surprised at both Yun Xiaoman and Mo Wen. The young miss had brought a man home. Could she have a boyfriend already? She knew that the Yun Clan upbringing was very strict and they would not approve of Yun Xiaoman's puppy love. How daring of her to bring such a boy home.

Yun Xiaoman pushed open the door of her grandfather's study. She found her grandfather reading in his study as she had expected.

”Xiaoman, what do you want from grandfather?” Yun Deguang smiled kindly and said. Unless there was something big, usually she would not run into his study.

”Grandfather, I found Big brother Mo,” Yun Xiaoman smiled excitedly. Then with a serious look, she stepped aside and revealed Mo Wen, while making a welcoming hand gesture, ”Big brother Mo, welcome to the Yun Clan.”

Mo Wen smiled. This Yun Xiaoman was indeed full of surprises.

Upon hearing her words, Yun Deguang took off his glasses and a glimpse of surprise flashed past his eyes. He took a few steps and stood before Mo Wen, ”So this is Little Brother Mo. Please come in, please come in…”

Yun Deguang welcomed Mo Wen to the sofa and personally brewed a cup of tea for him, ”Little brother Mo, you have saved my life before and I have yet to thank you.”

”Elder Yun, you are too kind.” Mo Wen smiled and said.

”Nothing is greater than you having saved my life. I am not exaggerating. Instead, I would like to ask for your forgiveness for being a bad host and for not welcoming you at the door,” Yun Deguang smiled and sat opposite to Mo Wen, while Yun Xiaoman playfully stood beside her grandfather with her hands behind her back, looking like a good girl.

Yun Deguang had always been curious about Mo Wen. Although this was his first time meeting Mo Wen, he knew Mo Wen was the miracle man who had cured his illness. He had also heard that he was very young. Today, now that they had met, truly he was young, maybe even too young. Such a youth had cured him of his illness, but had not claimed credit, silently leaving without even an intention of asking for a reward.

Hence, Yun Deguang had a good impression of Mo Wen. After meeting him in person today, his impression of Mo Wen was even better. Even when meeting an old military chief like him, a person of high station and authority, Mo Wen held his own, acting natural and unrestrained. Clearly he was a person who had seen the world.

”My main objective for coming to the Yun Clan today is to finish treating the Purplish Blue Flower Poison in Elder Yun's body, as well as Xiaoman's father's poison as well. However, this time for my treatment, I would like to ask for something in return as remuneration,” Mo Wen said nonchalantly. He got straight to the point, without beating around the bush.

”Oh, what do we have that Little brother Mo fancies?” curiosity flashed past Yun Deguang's eyes.

Yun Xiaoman rolled her eyes at Mo Wen, thinking to herself: is it possible that because she didn't pay him last time for the treatment, that's why he has been cold to her? But last time, she didn't even get a chance to pay him before he left. It was not because she was unwilling to pay him.

”The Purplish Blue Flower in the Yun Clan.” Mo Wen raised his eyebrows saying, ”That Purplish Blue Flower is a flower with a strange poison. In the hands of the Yun Clan, it has no uses, instead it will continue to cause the Yun Clan to be poisoned one by one, until everyone is poisoned to death.”

Upon hearing his words, Yun Deguang gasped and stood up in surprise. ”Is this true!” His expression was hard to read.

Regarding the case of him being poisoned, he had thought of countless possibilities. He even thought someone might want to harm him, so they poisoned him secretly. It was not until his son, Yun Zhihai was poisoned too, only did he realize the seriousness of this problem.

But all this while, he had never thought that the flower was the problem. Because the flower was a gift from a friend of his, who was someone he would never forget.

”Grandfather, just now Big brother said that the flower is poisonous. I haven't had time to tell you,” Yun Xiaoman said with her face pale. Just now she had been so anxious to pick Mo Wen up, she didn't manage to inform the rest of the family.

”Elder Yun surely would not have thought that the poison you contracted came from nowhere,” Mo Wen laughed and said.

Yun Deguang slowly sat down again, sighing softly as he said, ”Little friend Mo, you jest. What you have just said, I have already believed.” He gave a self-deprecating smile. His eyes suddenly welled up with desolation and loneliness.

Mo Wen raised his eyebrows. Yun Deguang's reaction seemed to hint there was more that met the eye. However, that was none of his concern, he was only concerned about whether the Purplish Blue Flower was intact.

”Elder Yun, could you lead me to check out that Purplish Blue Flower?” Mo Wen asked.

Yun Deguang did not refuse, getting up and leading Mo Wen outside, ”Of course. Little friend Mo, please follow me.”

The rooftop of the Yun Clan's villa had a small flower garden. There were many types of flowers and plants planted there. The old man loved to tend to these things. All the flowers and plants in the garden were Yun Deguang's darlings.

When Mo Wen saw the Purplish Blue Flower, his eyes narrowed slightly. The Purplish Blue Flower had been tampered with by someone. The technique used was also highly skilled. Clearly the person had a deep understanding of the Purplish Blue Flower in order to pull it off.
