"Haha~" Mo Cheng laughed wildly when he heard this, and his tears fell down, not knowing whether they were crying with joy or angrily.
After a moment, Mo Cheng restrained his laughter and said loudly: "Yes, we are not wrong. We are wrong. The marriage caused by politics. Without the Nangong family, perhaps the Mo family is stronger, the previous head of the family would not force him. Mo Lingfeng could also enjoy the warmth of the person he loved and sit steadily in the seat where I am sitting now. However, everything has happened and time will not turn back. Some things, if they become causes, must have results."
Mo Ran looked at Mo Cheng with a terrifying expression, and said in a deep voice: "So, did you choose me?"
Mo Cheng nodded sadly and said, "Don't blame me. The family is now at a critical moment. No one is looking for that volume of broken battle tactics. The current Xiaodang Mountain is not the Little Dang Mountain of the past. We can develop on our own. We can't defeat that force. We can leave. There is no need to fight to the death with them. But in this way, the other five major families will definitely attack them. Therefore, I need a candidate to find the best volume of battle tactics. If I can't find it, it is considered an explanation for the other five major families."
"A scapegoat?" Mo Ran smiled slightly.
"That's right." Mo Cheng nodded solemnly.
The next moment, the hall returned to the dead silence again.
Mo Ran pondered for a long time, and in Mo Cheng's anxious eyes, he seemed to have become petrified and did not move at all.
It seemed as if after a long time, Mo Ran finally raised his head, looked directly at Mo Cheng, and finally said, "Yes."
"What did you say?" Hearing these two words, Mo Cheng and Mo Haopeng stood there in a daze, looking at Mo Ran in disbelief, exclaiming in surprise.
Turning around, Mo Ran turned his back to the two of them and said, "I mean, I can promise you to be this scapegoat."
"real?"
"But..." Mo Ran changed the subject.
"But what?" Mo Cheng asked anxiously.
Mo Ran turned around and a purple light flashed across his dark eyes and said, "I have a condition."
“What conditions?”
"If I can successfully retrieve the Jiubian of Jinglei, if you want my father to return to the family tree, his bones must also be buried on Xiaodang Mountain." Mo Ran said solemnly.
"No problem." Mo Cheng immediately agreed when he heard this.
Mo Ran's request was simple for Mo Cheng. According to Mo Cheng's thoughts, it was almost difficult to find a battle tactic in the Dark City than climbing the sky. Even the powerful forces like the Mo family dare not get involved in the murder. If the battle tactic cannot be retrieved, the most time the family faced would be the migration of the clan. But if someone could find the battle tactic and get the support of the other families, he might be able to get rid of the pursuit of the powerful forces and still maintain the steady development of Xiaodangshan.
Therefore, Mo Cheng had already made preparations. No matter what Mo Ran made, he would respond in one go. However, what he did not expect was that Mo Ran’s needs would be so simple.
After thinking about it, Mo Cheng still couldn't believe it and asked again: "Do you have any other requests? If so, say it together."
Mo Ran smiled slightly: "It's gone. Others are not a requirement. I need a lot of medicinal materials now. If there is one in the family, can I use it at will?"
"There is no problem in this regard." Mo Cheng responded and then said, "If you have no other requests, then tomorrow, I will let you return to the family tree first. However, there is one thing that the lost battle skills should not be known to the other five major families. In addition, you must know that if you cannot find them, you will become the sinner who steals the battle skills. Give an explanation to the five major families."
Mo Ran nodded and said, "I know this. You don't need to do it at that time, I will stop myself."
Mo Cheng looked at Mo Ran, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes, and then said, "Since that's the case, let Haopeng take you to rest first. Tomorrow, he will hold a return ceremony for you at noon. After the ceremony, you can set off."
Upon hearing this, Mo Ran stopped talking and walked out the door first.
Seeing this, Mo Haopeng didn't say much, and bowed to Mo Cheng, and followed him.
In the evening, Huang Lang, Xu Jie'er and Qiling sat in one place in Mo Ran's hut. Listening to Mo Ran's story, a cloud of nameless anger suddenly arose in the three of them.
"It's too much. Do these bastards still treat you as their members of the Mo family?" Huang Lang slapped the table hard and cursed.
Xu Jie'er frowned, thought for a while, and said, "Moran, why not worry about the battle tactics? Isn't it good to go on the mainland together? Isn't it necessary to take the blame for these people?"
"That's right, boss, with your strength and talent, as long as you have enough time, one day, you will become the God of Martial Arts. In addition, Brother Huang and me, our talent for alchemy, will the mainland in the future not be left sideways?" At this time, Qiling also stood up and said indignantly.
Hearing this, Mo Ran waved his hand gently, signaled the three of them to sit down, and said decisively: "No need to persuade me, I have decided that I must take the blame."
"Why?" Seeing that Mo Ran was so stubborn, the three of them asked in unison.
"No, why? Just for one breath, my father was expelled from the family, but because of a marriage, he left before he could swallow it. Since I knew it, I couldn't think of it as not knowing anything. Besides, my father had only one last wish, that is, to return to the family tree. As his son, I must help him complete it. Also, maybe through this time, I can find out the cause of my father's death and avenge my father." Mo Ran said, a glimmer of firmness flashed in his eyes.
Seeing that it was useless to persuade him and the three of them could only give up, but Xu Jie'er asked worriedly: "That's Dark City. There, even some major forces dare not enter, but we are only at the level of a martial arts master. I am afraid that I will not be able to complete the mission at that time and will leave my life there."
"Are you afraid?" Mo Ran approached Xu Jie'er and whispered.
Perhaps it was a little close. When Xu Jieer found that Mo Ran had come over, she immediately hid back like a conditioned reflex. A blush climbed up on her pretty face and said shyly: "I'm not afraid. I'm afraid of you..."
Mo Ran sat upright again and frowned and said, "What are you afraid of me? Don't worry, maybe, things are not as bad as we imagined."
Hearing this, the three of them were stunned and looked at Mo Ran in confusion.
