83: Chapter 83 Who is using whom?

After Xiao Niuzi returned to the cultivation room, Chen Xiuyun and Liu Chunmei also returned to the front courtyard with smiles.

Only Mo Xiaochuan and Nannan were left in the backyard.

Nannan did not leave; she stood in place and looked at Mo Xiaochuan, saying:

"Brother, after I marry Xiao Niuzi, will I still be considered a member of the Mo Family?"

Mo Xiaochuan was stunned for a moment.

"What, do you plan to disown me as your brother once you get married?"

"I didn't mean that."

Nannan's eyes turned a bit red.

"I'm just afraid that you won't acknowledge me in the future. After all, I wasn't Godfather's biological child; I was picked up from outside."

Mo Xiaochuan raised his hand and patted her head.

"Stop letting your imagination run wild."

"Dad brought you back and raised you for so many years, so you are his daughter and also my own younger sister."

"Not to mention marrying Xiao Niuzi, even if you marry hundreds of miles away in the future, you are still a member of the Mo Family."

Hearing this, Nannan's tears immediately fell.

Mo Xiaochuan said with a smile:

"You're someone about to get married, why are you still crying?"

"Besides, Xiao Niuzi also grew up in the Mo Family. After you two get married, won't you still live in the village?"

"Unless you plan to take Xiao Niuzi and leave the Mo Family to split households with me."

Nannan hurriedly said:

"Brother, I didn't mean that."

"I know."

Mo Xiaochuan smiled.

"I was teasing you."

Nannan raised her hand to wipe away her tears and said no more.

After a moment, she finally spoke:

"Brother, I want to take Xiao Niuzi to see Godfather tomorrow and tell Godfather about our matter."

After finishing, she glanced toward Baitou Mountain.

The ancestral graves of the Mo Family were in that direction.

Mo Xiaochuan also looked over along her gaze.

"Go."

"Since the marriage has already been decided, it is indeed time to go tell Dad."

After saying these words, Mo Xiaochuan also felt somewhat uncomfortable in his heart.

When their father was still around, he almost never had to worry about any big or small matters at home.

At that time, his heart was entirely set on cultivation.

Now that Mo Shoutian was gone, these matters came one after another, all falling onto his shoulders.

The Mo Family had just taken over Qingshi Town, Xianren Valley, Spiritual Veins, and the medicinal garden; people were needed to keep an eye on things everywhere.

The matter of Xuanyuan could only be temporarily put aside.

Until now, Mo Xiaochuan truly understood that his father had worked far harder over the years than he had seen.

Qinghuai Ridge, the guest courtyard of the Liang Family.

Liang Shaoheng walked out of the room, and Han Qingshan and three Junior Brothers escorted him all the way to the courtyard gate.

When they were about to walk out of the guest courtyard, Han Qingshan stopped his steps, cupped his hands together with the three Junior Brothers, and said:

"Thank you, Young Master Liang."

Liang Shaoheng turned around.

"Brother Han doesn't need to be like this."

"What should be said has already been made clear just now. You can stay here with peace of mind these few days, and you don't need to worry about food and daily necessities."

"Tomorrow I will have someone send over some Spirit Stones, Medicinal Pills, and weapons."

"As for the news of rebuilding the Xuanyang Sect and recruiting Loose Cultivators, the Liang Family will also arrange for people to do it as soon as possible."

Han Qingshan said:

"Young Master Liang's assistance today, I, Han, have remembered it."

"If the Xuanyang Sect can truly be rebuilt, we will never forget the Liang Family in the future."

Liang Shaoheng smiled and said:

"Brother Han doesn't need to put it so heavily."

"The Liang Family helping you rebuild the Xuanyang Sect is not helping for free either."

"Our Liang Family has always wanted to expand our business eastward over the years."

"Over at Qingshi Town and Xianren Valley, we happen to lack someone who can look out for each other."

"If the Xuanyang Sect can regain its footing, it will be beneficial to both you and me."

Han Qingshan knew that the Liang Family would not help him for no reason.

Liang Shaoheng's willingness to put these words out in the open actually made him feel somewhat more at ease.

"In the future, if the Liang Family's caravans and shops want to go to Qingshi Town or Xianren Valley, as long as I, Han, can help, I will never decline."

"With Brother Han's words, that is enough."

Liang Shaoheng said:

"However, there are only the four of you in the Xuanyang Sect right now, and Mo Xiaochuan is a Golden Core Cultivator."

"At this time, the most taboo thing is to rush into a direct confrontation with the Mo Family."

Although these words did not sound pleasant, Han Qingshan could not refute them.

A month ago, he couldn't even take a single palm strike from Mo Xiaochuan.

With the current strength of the four of them, let alone taking back the Spiritual Veins and medicinal garden, they couldn't even guard the past shops of the Xuanyang Sect.

Han Qingshan said:

"I understand."

"The most crucial thing right now is to re-establish the Xuanyang Sect first."

Liang Shaoheng nodded.

"First gather the people together, then find a place to settle down."

"Only when you have manpower can other things be done slowly."

Han Qingshan cupped his hands and said:

"Next, I will still have to trouble Young Master Liang."

"Brother Han, you don't need to be polite."

Liang Shaoheng looked at the four people standing before him and said again:

"Since the Xuanyang Sect is to be rebuilt, there must be a Sect Master first."

"Brother Han is Sect Master Lu's eldest Disciple, and your cultivation is also the highest among the four."

"Other than you, there is no more suitable person for this position."

Han Qingshan did not immediately agree.

"There are only four of us left in the Xuanyang Sect now."

"If we call ourselves the Sect Master at this time, I'm afraid it will make people laugh."

"Only by setting the title first can people slowly gather over."

Liang Shaoheng said:

"When the first batch of Loose Cultivators arrives at Qinghuai Ridge, will you still let them continue to call you Senior Brother Han?"

Han Qingshan did not speak.

Liang Shaoheng did not continue to persuade him either.

"Brother Han, think about it some more."

"I won't disturb your rest."

Han Qingshan and the three Junior Brothers cupped their hands again.

"Young Master Liang, take care."

Liang Shaoheng walked out of the guest courtyard, his figure quickly disappearing on the stone road outside.

Han Qingshan stood in front of the door for a while before bringing the three Junior Brothers back into the room.

The last Junior Brother who entered closed the door properly.

"Senior Brother, the Liang Family gave us a place to stay, and also sent Spirit Stones, Medicinal Pills, and weapons. Is it really just to expand their business to Qingshi Town and Xianren Valley?"

"Of course not."

Han Qingshan came to the table and sat down.

"The Liang Family wants to extend their hands to the east, but it's inconvenient for them to directly contend with the Mo Family, which is why they sought us out."

A Junior Brother asked:

"Do they want the Xuanyang Sect to deal with the Mo Family on behalf of the Liang Family?"

"It probably isn't just that."

Han Qingshan said:

"The Mo Family currently manages Qingshi Town, Xianren Valley, the old mountain gate, Spiritual Veins, and the medicinal garden."

"As long as the Xuanyang Sect reappears, there will naturally be many things to contend for."

"The more fiercely we contend with the Mo Family, the easier it will be for the Liang Family to enter the Mo Family's territory."

The three Junior Brothers looked at each other.

"Then should we still accept the Liang Family's help?"

"Why shouldn't we accept it?"

Han Qingshan asked in reverse:

"Without the Liang Family, we wouldn't even have a place to live."

"Relying solely on the four of us, where would we find Spirit Stones, Medicinal Pills, and weapons?"

"And what would we use to recruit Loose Cultivators and rebuild the Xuanyang Sect?"

"The Liang Family wants to use us, and we also need to borrow the Liang Family's resources."

Another Junior Brother asked:

"Then what if the Liang Family asks us to deal with the Mo Family in the future?"

Han Qingshan glanced at him.

"The old mountain gate, Spiritual Veins, and medicinal garden of the Xuanyang Sect are all currently in the hands of the Mo Family."

"Even without the Liang Family, we would still have to contend for these things in the future."

"It's just that now is not the time yet."

"I can't even take a single palm strike from Mo Xiaochuan, and we only have four people."

"Going to find the Mo Family now is simply courting death."

Saying this, his voice became somewhat heavier.

"The Liang Family's resources can be taken, and the momentum that can be borrowed can also be borrowed."

"But when to contend with the Mo Family and how to contend must be decided by ourselves."

"If the Liang Family wants the four of us to throw away our lives for them, that won't do."

The three Junior Brothers nodded.

Han Qingshan continued speaking:

"For now, don't think about the Mo Family's affairs."

"When the Liang Family spreads the news of recruiting Loose Cultivators, let's first see how many people can come."

"As long as the Xuanyang Sect can be re-established, there will naturally be opportunities for certain things in the future."

A Junior Brother remembered Liang Shaoheng's words just now and asked:

"Senior Brother, what about the matter of the Sect Master?"

Han Qingshan sat there and didn't answer for a long time.

After a while, he finally said:

"We'll talk about that when the time comes."
