C5 Alone at another time (1/2)
”Cough, cough, I'm fine.” Mo Zhai waved his hand, and looked again at the direction where the purple robed man and the other two had left. Then, he turned to Lin Yi and said with lingering fear: ”Yi Er, I'm afraid that Uncle Mo will not be able to take you in.”
”Boss!” When the middle-aged woman heard this, her expression immediately changed.
Even Mo Ningxiang, who was on Lin Yi's back, spoke up somewhat nervously, ”Father, what happened? Why can't Big Brother Yi stay in our family anymore? ”
Hearing that, Mo Zhai shook his head helplessly, and said: ”Just now, those three people were obviously coming for you, Yi Er. Furthermore, from the way they talk, they definitely aren't your family. On the contrary, it's more likely to be your enemy. Also, they are definitely not ordinary people. Just a follower can make me feel great fear. It is likely that they are cultivators. Otherwise, mortals wouldn't be able to do this. Yi Er, your background is probably not as simple as your grandfather and I think. ”
”Cultivators?” After Lin Yi heard this, he looked at Mo Zhai in confusion.
”Yi Er, the reason why Uncle Mo did not call your name earlier, was because he was worried that they would discover you. According to their identities, your background is not that bad either. Moreover, your name, Old Lin, is based on the jade pendant you're wearing. If there really was a connection, things would not be so simple today. As for the cultivators, even I don't know much about them. However, according to the legends of the people, those who cultivated were all able to turn over the clouds with a flip of their hand and turn the rain into rain. That kind of existence is definitely not something a mere mortal like us can imagine. ”
Mo Zhai slightly nodded, took a deep breath and continued. After Lin Yi heard this, he instantly understood why Uncle Mo would call him Fan'er.
However, he felt an inexplicable yearning towards those who cultivated. As for his own life, he kept it buried deep in his heart.
Seeing the change in Lin Yi's expression, Mo Zhai opened his mouth once again, ”Yi Er, you don't have to worry. Now that those three people have left, I believe they have already checked on you. So for now, you should be safe. Uncle Mo only hopes that your family will be able to come find you as soon as possible. That way, you'll be safer. However, he was afraid that he couldn't stay here any longer. Before your grandfather died, he once asked me to not let you leave before you turned eighteen. But now, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it. ”
Lin Yi nodded when he heard this, and said, ”Uncle Mo, I understand.”
”Yi Er, it's not that Uncle Mo is afraid of trouble. Uncle Mo was worried. If others came and found out that you were the person they were looking for, the consequences would be unthinkable. Uncle Mo, you are unable to face your grandfather either. The methods of cultivators are not something we can imagine. I hope you understand this point. ” Seeing that, Mo Zhai looked at Lin Yi with a complicated expression.
There was one more point that Mo Zhai had not mentioned. As a husband and father, he had to fulfill his duty to his wife and children. In the face of such a situation, he could only choose to do so.
Lin Yi nodded, then pulled Mo Ningxiang into the middle aged woman's hands: ”Aunt Lian, I'll leave Little Sister Xiang'er to you. Uncle Mo, Aunt Lian, thank you for taking care of me during this period of time. I'll come find you when I find my family. ”
With that said, Lin Yi bowed deeply to Mo Zhai and the middle aged woman, and then walked straight into the room.
”Father!” Seeing Lin Yi like that, Mo Ningxiang anxiously looked towards Mo Zhai. Even the middle-aged woman lowered her head helplessly.
”Xiang'er, your father has no other choice but to let your big brother Yi Yi leave. He's not the only one who wants to leave, we can't stay here for long either. Now that there were people who had found this place, perhaps even more would come in the future. If they were Yi Er's relatives, then the consequences would be unimaginable. Not only for his own good, but for your brother's sake. For the same reason, it's for the good of all of us. Xiang'er, do you understand? ” Seeing Mo Ningxiang's expression, Mo Zhai shook her head with a complicated expression.
