Chapter 3: Brother Chu Yang, hurry and come...
“Owner of the Star Dream Light Dance Blade?” The Grand Elder Mo Wuxin mused, his eyelids flickering: “Did that girl really say so?”
“Yes.” Mo Xingchen sat upright in his chair, rubbing his forehead.
“Hehehe... The owner of the Star Dream Light Dance Blade, I wonder what kind of saint they are; to send such a precious blade to a little girl as a toy...”
Mo Wuxin paced a few steps, chuckling darkly: “However, heaven's secret once said that the owner of the Star Dream Light Dance Blade is currently concocting a divine medicine that can treat the ruined three yin meridians... It seems to say... no sooner than a year, no later than three years?”
“That is indeed the case.” Mo Xingchen's eyes brightened, recalling what Mo Tianji had said when he and Mo Qingwu returned to the family.
“If Xiao Wu’s three yin meridians can be restored, then our Mo Family will gain another expert with limitless potential, even more assured of advancing to imperial level than Tianji and Tianyun.” Mo Wuxin contemplated: “Such a promising daughter being sent to Dreamfall as a concubine is indeed a pity... But...”
“The current issue is whether the owner of the Star Dream Light Dance Blade can successfully treat the three yin meridians. If they cannot and miss this opportunity with the Dream Clan, a powerful ally...” Mo Xingchen sighed deeply.
“Then we wait for another year?” Mo Wuxin seemed to be asking himself, then said: “Let’s use her young age as an excuse. Typically, daughters from noble families engage in betrothal only after turning twelve, unless it was arranged since childhood. I believe the Dream Clan wouldn’t have any objections... However, during this period, we must confirm the alliance in the form of a prospective betrothal.”
“In that case... that’s fine.”
“A year later, if Xiao Wu’s three yin meridians are treatable, then we can reconsider. After all, Dreamfall isn’t asking for a national beauty and heavenly fragrance as a concubine but simply a strong ally...” Mo Wuxin chuckled lightly.
“Grand Elder is correct.”
“Furthermore, I am most curious about that owner of the Star Dream Light Dance Blade... Even if they can’t heal Xiao Wu’s three yin meridians, they certainly aren’t an ordinary person, that’s for sure. If they can be of use to us...” Mo Wuxin’s eyes flickered, saying: “But that’s a matter for later; we’ll talk about it when they arrive.”
“But what if they don’t come within a year?”
“If they don’t come within a year, then Qingwu belongs to the Dream Clan! Our Mo Family, considering the Star Dream Light Dance Blade, can afford to wait a year; that’s already showing kindness!” Mo Wuxin replied coldly.
It seemed he had given a huge favor to outsiders by delaying his own family's children's marriage for a year...
“Let’s settle this matter.” Mo Wuxin said casually.
Watching Mo Xingchen hurry out, Mo Wuxin revealed a faint smile, muttering to himself: “That person could casually give away the Star Dream Light Dance Blade; they must have even more powerful treasures! Once they arrive at the Mo Family, even if they have great abilities, how much can they stir? If we obtain the powerful resources in their hands and control them... the Mo Family will rise immediately. Such immense benefits cannot be compared to just an ally from the Dream Clan! Xingchen, as the patriarch, is still somewhat naïve...”
“Delay for a year?” Mo Qingwu looked at her father with wide eyes.
“Yes, we’ll wait for the one who gave you the Star Dream Light Dance Blade.” Mo Xingchen said: “However, if there’s still no news after a year... sigh.”
“I understand.” Mo Qingwu, being smart and having grown up in such a large noble family, immediately grasped the implications of his words.
Just like royal offspring, who know how to plot and scheme for the throne by the age of seven or eight, children of noble families are also instilled with a sense of family interests from a young age. If it were regular common folk’s children, they might not even have such awareness by the age of twenty... that’s the difference.
