Chapter 216: Mo Tianyun
The two brothers wore beaming smiles, their expressions natural and heartfelt, evoking a sense of envy in those who saw them: look at how well the brothers from the Mo Family get along; with a bond like that, they could even share the same pair of pants.
What no one knew was that both brothers secretly regarded each other as sworn enemies...
The guards at the entrance trembled at the sight of the two young masters entering, instinctively rolling up their sleeves to reveal goosebumps on their arms...
The murderous intent hidden beneath the warm demeanor of the two young masters was truly frightening...
As the brothers walked further away, they continued their "friendly" conversation...
"Second brother, is Xiao Wu's injury very serious?" Mo Tianyun asked with concern. "Who did this?"
"It's severe!" Mo Tianji's eyes flickered with killing intent as he coldly replied, "It was the Dark Demon Clan, a despicable scoundrel who deserves a thousand deaths! They even injured Xiao Wu's three yin meridians! I am extremely furious about this! Big brother need not worry, I have already sworn a poisonous oath; if that heartless scoundrel dares to target our little sister again, I will bring him down to hell with me, even if I have to perish along with him!"
Xiao Wu's injury was impossible to hide, and once the family investigated, they would find out easily. It would be better to be straightforward: if our little sister's three yin meridians are ruined, and if you dare to target her again, then neither of us will have a future in the Mo Family!
"Heartless scoundrel..." Mo Tianyun murmured, his eyes flashing with rage as he said heavily, "Indeed! The Dark Demon Clan is beneath the Mo Family; such contemptible acts deserve no mercy! If I see him, I will make sure to tear him apart!"
If you dare to provoke the family, I will dare to eradicate you!
The two brothers exchanged knowing smiles again. The four throne experts accompanying them felt a cold sweat breaking out on their palms; their bodies grew cold!
Following such two young masters was truly a test of one's heart! Especially when these two were together, it was like a form of torture for those around them!
Mo Tianyun suddenly stopped, standing with his hands behind his back, his expression unreadable as he asked, "Uncle Chengyu... do you know your crime?"
Mo Chengyu's face paled, and he bowed, saying, "Yes, I know my crime!"
"Well, as the guardian of our young lady, you neglected your duty and allowed her to suffer such irreparable harm! Mo Chengyu, have the peaceful years made you foolish?" Mo Tianyun's eyes gleamed with cold light.
"I have committed a crime!" Mo Chengyu's forehead broke out in cold sweat. He wanted to plead his case, but the fact that Xiao Wu was gravely injured was as solid as iron! Moreover, Mo Tianyun clearly aimed to use him to establish authority over Mo Tianji! If he tried to defend himself, he might be killed on the spot!
Mo Tianji wanted to say something but ultimately held back.
Earlier, Mo Tianyun had spoken as the elder brother, but now, with a stern face, he spoke as the young patriarch. If he interjected now, it would be crossing a line!
"Since you acknowledge your crime, this young patriarch will announce the family's decision!" Mo Tianyun said expressionlessly: "Mo Chengyu's negligence is unforgivable! However, considering his past contributions, he will not face severe punishment; he is to be relieved of his position as guardian and will take his family to the Canglan War Zone to serve the family!"
Mo Chengyu trembled! Was this not to drive him away from the young lady's side?
"Big brother, isn’t that too much?" Mo Tianji frowned. "If it weren't for Uncle Chengyu's desperate protection, how would our little sister still be alive right now? While he has made mistakes, this... is too harsh!"
"This is the decision of the elder council!" Mo Tianyun sighed and said, "Second brother, I don't want this either, but after all, I am not yet the patriarch. The one in charge of this family is still our father! Do you have any objections to our father's decision?"
