Mo Jiang slapped his apprentice's hand away and comforted him:

"Your master is not sick."

The apprentice's mind was in complete disarray, and he voiced his suspicions.

"Then... is your adopted son a member of the Xie family?"

"Ah."

"Master, who is he?"

Without saying much, Mo Jiang walked towards the Xie family's gate.

"Just follow and you'll find out."

"it is good."

The Xie family's gatekeeper watched as a middle-aged man with an extraordinary air approached, followed by a young man carrying a box. He raised his hand to stop him and asked:

"Halt! Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Mo Jiang glanced at the plaque of the Xie residence, smiled slightly, and said:

"My name is Mo Jiang, and I am an old friend of Master Xie. I have come here today to see the young master of the Xie family."

"An old friend of our master?"

The gatekeeper frowned and sized up the person in front of him.

It doesn't look like a lie.

But if he is an old friend of the master, why is he looking for the young master?

The young man behind him rebuked him in dissatisfaction.

"Hurry up, it won't be good if we waste time. My master's time is very precious."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

...

"Crackling"

The pharmacy was filled with thick smoke, and sparks were still flying from a stove.

Xie Zhentian squinted, staring intently at the amount of powder in his hand, as he carefully added it to the smoky ceramic jar on the stove.

"Report!"

A subordinate's voice suddenly came from outside the door, and Xie Zhentian's fingers trembled slightly.

His pupils dilated, and he poured out all the powder in his hand.

A wave of unease washed over me!

With a loud bang, the gunpowder furnace, which had been filled with gunpowder, was immediately blown apart, and smoke even escaped from the cracks in the house doors.

The guards outside the door gasped in surprise.

"Sir, are you alright?"

"Cough cough cough."

The guard breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the master cough from inside and then relayed his report.

"Master, someone outside has come looking for the young master, saying he is your..."

Before the "old friend" could finish speaking, Xie Zhentian, whose body was blackened by smoke, angrily rebuked:

"What is that? Get lost! Can't you see I'm developing medicine? Don't bother me, or I'll arrest you for drug testing."

"Yes, sir, I'll take my leave now."

The guard turned pale and immediately took his leave.

Since we can't get a decision from the master, we can only come to the young master to speak.

The guards, having received permission, entered the young master's study and gazed upon the stunningly handsome young master sitting there, intently writing something.

Those watching couldn't help but blush slightly, bowing respectfully and saying:

"Young master, someone has come from outside. He says he is an old friend of the master and wants to see you."

"Find me?"

"Yes."

Xie Ze raised an eyebrow and put down the pen and paper in his hand with a puzzled look.

Father's old friend?

He never knew that a man like his father, who was obsessed with making medicine, could have old friends.

And why look for a junior like him?

...

A young man carrying a box on his back, wiping sweat from his brow under the sun, looked towards the door and sighed.

Walk back to the master next to the stone lion.

"Master, we've been waiting for so long, and no one has come out yet. They certainly won't come to see you."

"Xi'er, don't be anxious."

The man named Xi'er curled his lip and said speechlessly:

"Master, nobody knows you. If you just go to him without knowing him, most people won't come to see you. Standing here is just a waste of time, isn't it?"

"... "

But Mo Jiang remained steadfast in his decision; if he hadn't seen the child today, he would have felt terrible.

His brown eyes were fixed on the doorway, not wanting to miss a single moment when someone appeared.

The guard who reported the news emerged from the distance inside the mansion, followed by what appeared to be other people.

His eyes immediately lit up, he raised an eyebrow slightly, and chuckled softly.

"Isn't this coming?"

"?"

Mo Xi followed her gaze back to the Xie family's gate and saw several people walking out.

A handsome young man dressed in white walked out.

What surprised me most was that the man had a handsome face and a pair of deep, dark eyes. Beneath his high, straight nose were thin lips that were even more beautiful than a woman's.

As I stepped out of the door and into the sunlight, a hazy halo appeared around me.

This creates the impression that he is more like a god descended to earth, suddenly appearing in the human world and becoming incongruous with everything there.

Is this really a real person?

"Master...Master, could it be him?"

The young apprentice was stunned and stammered for a moment.

The other party did not reply to him with a single word.

He just stared in shock, his eyes widening until they slowly turned red.

He laughed heartily and muttered to himself.

"It's so similar, it's uncanny."

"He really is Anlin's child."

“Anlin’s child is not dead, but is standing alive in front of me.”

Seeing her master's sudden unusual excitement, Mo Xi asked with concern:

"Master, what's wrong?"

Mo Jiang seemed completely oblivious to his words, striding past him and walking straight ahead with some excitement.

"master!!"

Mo Xi realized what was happening and quickly ran forward as well.

...

Xie Ze had just reached the door when he saw the two people standing outside.

He had never met either of them.

However, the middle-aged man looked at him with a very strange expression.

"Aze."

"... "

The middle-aged man in the dark green robe called out to him gently and walked straight toward him. Xie Ze frowned slightly.

Xie Yi, who was standing nearby, stepped forward and used his sword to block the approaching person.

"Halt! No outsiders are allowed near my young master."

How could Mojiang possibly have its freedom restricted?

He simply raised his hand and waved it, and a wisp of medicinal powder suddenly appeared in front of Xie Yi.

By the time Xie Yi noticed, he covered his mouth and nose, but the poison had already been inhaled into his nasal cavity.

His body began to weaken, and he staggered, about to fall.

Fortunately, the young master behind him patted him with his large hand and pulled him behind him, changing his position.

Xie Yi could only hold the sword in his hand, brace himself against the ground, and remind the young master.

"Young master, he poisoned me! Be careful."

"I know, back off."

"Yes."

Xie Ze's eyes met those of the poisoner before him, a cold glint in them, and he uttered two words from his thin lips.

"Antidote."

Mo Jiang paused for a moment, looking at the man in front of him who looked exactly like An Lin, and who even had the same ruthless eyes as his father.

I felt uncomfortable.

The smile that had just appeared on his lips slowly faded away.

He took out a bottle of antidote from his pocket and handed it to him.

The other person took it without any warning and tossed it to Xie Yi, who was being supported by someone behind him.

"Take it."

"Thank you for saving my life, young master."

Once that was resolved, Xie Ze turned his attention back to the person in front of him.

She stared at the middle-aged man in front of her with a look of satisfaction, openly and honestly.

Xie Ze felt unwell.

"Who is this senior?"

"!"

When Xie Ze asked him about himself, Mo Jiang smiled again and apologized to him.

"Aze, let me apologize to you for what happened earlier."

"Adoptive father?"

Xie Ze was even more puzzled, and even Xie Yi, who had just been detoxified, stopped in his tracks.

Who is this?

Without the young master's consent, he immediately recognized the young master as his godson?

How shameless.
