Ishikawa Kotaro heard this and his face showed a comical, excited, shocked, embarrassed, resolute expression that couldn't be described. Excited because he might be able to go further. Shocked because Mo Wenjie definitely had such medicine. Embarrassed because he was two hundred and something years old and had to kneel down and ask for help from a twenty-something person. Determined because as long as he could go further, he didn't care about face or reputation. He immediately knelt down in front of Mo Wenjie and said: "Master, I bow before you!"
Hearing this, everyone was shocked to the core. What's going on? A Wushenjing realm master of over two hundred years was actually going to bow to Mo Wenjie, who was only in his twenties. That's just too sci-fi! Is there anyone that could play such a joke on us? You are a Wushenjing realm master of over two hundred years, and anyone would have to call you an elder. How dare you bow to Mo Wenjie, who is only in his twenties, as your master? From now on, whenever I see Mo Wenjie, I'll have to call him the Grandmaster. Is there anyone who could play such a trick on us?
Chiba Miko's face turned even worse. How could she call her master now, when he knelt before her man and addressed him as master? Should she call Mo Wenjie "Grandmaster" or "husband"?
Mo Wenjie said: "Stand up! I have no intention of taking disciples right now. Whether you can advance further depends on your fate. I haven't gathered all the ingredients for refining the foundation-building pill yet. If you pass away before I collect all the ingredients, no one can save you. If your life is lucky enough, and you're still alive after I collect all the ingredients for the foundation-building pill, I might be able to help you once." But he had a condition that you had to agree to.
Ishikawa Kotaro said: "Master, please give the command!"
Mo Wenjie said: "I've already told you, I don't want to take a disciple. From now on, don't call me master. My condition is that you help me intimidate those people in the cabinet. If they ever have any designs on Longguo, kill them for me."
Ishikawa Kotaro said: "Master, you have given me the foundation-building pill, which is like a second chance. I absolutely dare not violate the rules of respecting the teacher and adhering to righteousness. As for intimidating the people in the cabinet, please rest assured that if they dared to disrespect Longguo, I will kill them."
Mo Wenjie said: "Stand up! I will refine the foundation-building pill and give you one."
Ishikawa Ichiro stood up and said: "Chiba Miko, you are now expelled from the martial arts sect."
Chiba Miko said: "Why, Master?"
Ishikawa Kotaro said: "Don't call me master in the future. You have been expelled from the martial arts sect. We have no further master-apprentice relationship. Then he bowed respectfully to Chiba Miko and said: "I have the honor of meeting you, Mistress!"
Chiba Miko was completely bewildered. What is this all about? Her master calling her "Mistress" is not what the plot should be like. How could anyone accept this?
Mo Wenjie said: "Alright, let's go back to the hotel. Xiao Yue will book the tickets back to Longguo."
Murong Xiao Yue said: "Okay, Wenjie!"
Chiba Miko said: "Can't you stay with me for two more days here, Wenjie?"
Mo Wenjie said: "I've been in Japan for four or five days. It's time to go back. I'll come see you again when I have the chance."
Chiba Miko said: "Alright then! I'll miss you, Wenjie!"
Murong Xiao Yue said: "There is an afternoon flight back to Longguo for Wenjie, and I have already booked the ticket."
Mo Wenjie said: "Then let's go back to the hotel and prepare, back to Longguo!"
Ishikawa Kotaro took out two silk boxes and handed them to Mo Wenjie, saying: "These are the gifts from my apprentice to my master. Please, Master, accept them no matter what."
Mo Wenjie looked at the silk boxes and his eyes immediately brightened. He secretly thought: "After breaking through mountains and seas, one finally finds what they are looking for without having to put in much effort. These two silk boxes contain not only the millennium longevity fruit and the millennium wind-clearing vine root, but also three of the ingredients needed for refining the foundation-building pill. He took the silk boxes and said: "I accept your gift. When I finish refining the foundation-building pill, I will notify you."
Ishikawa Kotaro said: "Thank you very much, Master! The disciple will go back to cultivate, goodbye, Master!"
Mo Wenjie said: "Go back, then. I'll be returning to Longguo this afternoon. Just wait for the news!"
Ishikawa Kotaro said: "The disciple will definitely comply with the master's orders! He turned and left."
Mo Wenjie and the others returned to the hotel.
Mo Wenjie and Chiba Miko arrived at the presidential suite. Chiba Miko locked the door with her back hand, then she threw herself at Mo Wenjie, saying, "Wenjie, you're leaving soon and I don't know when we'll see each other again. I want to exhaust you..." Following that, she engaged in a passionate kiss, turning the presidential suite into an intimate setting.
Only when Murong Xiao Yue said: "Wenjie will be late!"
Mo Wenjie, still in a state of gratification, left the room and hailed a taxi to head to the airport!
Chiba Miko, with tears in her eyes, said: "Goodbye, Wenjie-kun. I await your return!"
Mo Wenjie and the others emerged from the Dragon State's National Airport in the capital.
Xia LiBei rushed over and said: "Uncle, you're back! We've been waiting here for you two hours, the whole gang of us."
Mo Wenjie said: "Why did you come so early? "
Zhang Kai said: "Welcome our great hero back, can't we come earlier?"
Mo Wenjie said: "Don't waste words, let's go back!"
Zhou Qianqian said: "Wenjie, you jerk! Why didn't you tell me you were going to Japan, but instead notified Jiang Rongfang? What do you mean?"
Mo Wenjie said: "When did I notify Jiang Rongfang?"
Zhou Qianqian said furiously, "You didn't notify Jiang Rongfang, did you? Can she read minds? How is it so coincidental that she ended up on the same plane as you going to Japan?"
Mo Wenjie said: "I went to Japan without informing anyone, believe it or not!"
Zhou Qianqian looked at Li Xiaobei and the others and said: "Who notified Jiang Rongfang?"
Li Xiaobei hurriedly said: "It's an injustice, Auntie. We didn't know that Uncle was going to Japan either. If anyone knew, it could only be Qi Zhaoxiang, because Uncle stayed at his place. You can't accuse us, Auntie."
Zhou Qianqian said: "I'm just a bit player in terms of being your Auntie, and now Jiang Rongfang and Murong Xiao Yue are the real Aunties to you!"
Gong Sun Sheng said: "Uncle, is what she said really true?"
Mo Wenjie nodded.
Zhou Qianqian looked at Mo Wenjie and tears welled up in her eyes.
Li Xiaobei and the others approached Murong Xiao Yue together and said in unison, "We have the honor to meet you, Auntie!"
Murong Xiao Yue and Murong Tianyu were taken aback by the sudden greeting. They were very clear about the Kyoto Five Youth, who were all very straight-laced Red Generations. To call Mo Wenjie "Uncle" was incredible. Wouldn't that make him their grandfather's junior brother, an identity too terrifying to imagine.
Murong Xiao Yue blushed and said: "Hello!"
Li Xiaobei said: "Aunt Jiang, what should we call you?"
Jiang Rongfang said: "It's up to you!"
Mo Wenjie said: "Hurry back! Don't let others look at us like monsters here."
Qi Zhaoxiang was driving, with Zhou Qianqian sitting in the front passenger seat, and Mo Wenjie was being held from both sides in the back seat.
Murong Xiao Yue said: "Wenjie, when are you planning to visit my home?"
Mo Wenjie said: "Today is definitely not possible, then tomorrow. In the morning go to Jiang Rongfang's house, and in the afternoon go to your home."
Zhou Qianqian said: "Come to my house tonight!"
Mo Wenjie was just about to speak, but Zhou Qianqian said: "If you really want to see the front page news tomorrow, then don't come to my house tonight. I will commit suicide at home."
Mo Wenjie said: "Why do you have to go through this?"
Zhou Qianqian said through tears, "It's all because I have a one-sided affection for you, and it has nothing to do with you. I don't blame you; I only blame my own destiny."
Qi Zhaoxiang said: "Uncle, I have to be honest. I told Aunt Jiang about your trip to Japan. With the two beautiful women you've won among the top four beauties of Kyoto, it's not necessary for the other two. It would be better if you took them all. Otherwise, she would really commit suicide for you, and your heart wouldn't be at peace."
Jiang Rongfang said: "Wenjie, Zhou Qianqian is deeply in love with you. She has a bond with you. Just take her. Xiao Yue and I have no objection."
Mo Wenjie sighed and said: "Karma, huh! I'll go to your place tomorrow night."
Zhou Qianqian said happily: "I'll be waiting for you at home tomorrow!"
Qi Zhaoxiang said: "Uncle, my grandfather has asked me to drive you directly to his office. He wants to give you a welcome feast tonight. We'll drop you off at the gate, and we'll have fun later!"
Mo Wenjie said: "We'll see!"
Qi Zhaoxiang said: "Okay then!"
Qi Zhaoxiang parked the car in front of a dignified gate with solemn atmosphere.
Mo Wenjie had just stepped out of the car.
Qi Rongguang walked over and said: "My little brother, you have worked hard. Let's go to my office and chat!"
The guards at the gate and the people behind Qi Rongguang were stunned. The Deputy Prime Minister of Qi personally greeted someone. How could it be so young? What kind of supreme power must this young man possess to have such an extraordinary face? This young man cannot be underestimated at all! What's the situation with a master-disciple relationship that is over forty or fifty years apart?
Mo Wenjie followed Qi Rongguang to his office.
A group of stunned people are left standing in place, still in shock.
Qi Rongguang said: "Younger brother, you have made great contributions to the trip to Japan. The upper authorities want you to serve the country. Based on your merits, the upper authorities have decided to grant you the title of middle general. At today's celebration banquet, a ceremony for you will be held to bestow the title!"
Mo Wenjie said: "Third Senior, I don't want to be a middle general. I just want to train and complete my path of cultivation."
Qi Rongguang said: "Younger brother, don't refuse just yet. Even though you have the title of a middle general, you won't be serving in the military. You will still be yourself, with no restrictions. You can take this opportunity to tour the officials in various places and deal with those who violate the law and order, upholding justice for the people. It's not bad, is it?"
Mo Wenjie said: "If it's to eliminate evil for the people, I'll take it on."
Qi Rongguang said: "That's exactly what I was waiting for. Let's go to the conference room!"
Mo Wenjie followed Qi Rongguang to the conference room, where there were already more than a dozen people waiting inside.
Qi Rongguang said: "Everyone, this is my little brother Mo Wenjie. Then he introduced everyone in the room."
Mo Wenjie said: "Hello, all leaders!"
The crowd answered one by one: "Good, Mo Zhongshu!"
The Emperor said: "Mo Zhongshu, you are a hero of Longguo. Your welcome banquet and award ceremony for your achievements will be taken care of by Deputy Prime Minister Qi and General Zhuang. We'll go ahead first."
Mo Wenjie said: "Thank you, all leaders!"
Qi Rongguang said: "Let's go to the national tourist hotel, where the banquet has already been arranged!"
Mo Wenjie followed Qi Rongguang to the National Tourist Hotel. In the warm applause of the crowd, Mo Wenjie was invited to sit at the head table. He wanted to refuse.
Qi Rongguang said: "Younger brother, you deserve to sit at the head table today. This is a banquet specially arranged for you to celebrate your achievements. Who else has the qualifications to sit there?"
