Chapter 831: Chapter 832 In this way, there is still a chance

"If the Mo Family were to submit to Li Changlin and another legitimate son of the Li Family took a fancy to this piece of ’cake’ belonging to the Mo Family, by then the Mo Family would really be in an untenable position from both inside and out.

Under such circumstances, it might be better to make a clean break and submit directly to the Li Family—wouldn’t that be preferable!

Just moments ago, over a dozen elders of the Mo Family had convened and come to such a conclusion.

After all, they now need to face a formidable family like the Chen Family. If the Mo Family chose to accept their fate this time, they could simply ignore the olive branch that Li Changlin had extended.

But nobody is a fool. Since the Chen Family could make such a move this first time, who could guarantee they wouldn’t do the same thing a second time?

There is only so long one can be a thief, but no such thing as being on guard against theft for a thousand days.

Since the Chen Family had initiated the conflict on the first of the month, the Mo Family certainly could not retreat.

Therefore, they should fight this battle and bring the issue to light.

The Mo Family is no match for the Chen Family. The only thing they can do now is to seek allies, to look for support.

The conditions put forth by Li Changlin at this time, although somewhat opportunist, could not be seen as anything but an opportunity for the Mo Family.

"Half-Step into Void Energy, huh!" Upon hearing Mo Dongming’s words, Li Changlin couldn’t help but let out a wry smile.

Originally, he had feared that his intention to bring the Mo Family under his wing might fall through; unexpectedly, Mo Dongming would say such a thing.

In that case, there still might be a chance—a chance!

"That’s right, our Mo Family has a total of twenty-six elders. Apart from a few who have reached the Half-Step into Void Energy and have since entered seclusion, ceasing to involve themselves with family matters, the remaining eighteen elders unanimously agree—if Mr. Li’s strength reaches the Half-Step into Void Energy, our Mo Family will submit directly to you!" At twenty-four years of age and at the Half-Step into Void Energy, the potential achievements one could hardly fathom.

Bowing to such a person was no cause for shame.

After all, standing behind Li Changlin was the colossal presence of the Li Family.

However, as Li Changlin was currently just a youth at the Late Threshold Stage, the Mo Family could not afford to place all bets on him.

Thus, choosing to submit to the Li Family was clearly the most correct path forward.

"Good, I’m gratified to hear you say that, Mr. Mo," Li Changlin calmly raised his eyes to look at him, and said lightly, "How about this—I would like to trouble Mr. Mo to arrange a time for me to meet with your family patriarch."

This request was not excessive. Since the Mo Family was to submit to the Li Family, it was naturally expected for the guardian patriarch of the Mo Family to make an appearance.

Moreover, after reaching an agreement with Li Changlin, Mo Dongming would also relay these details back to the patriarch.

Generally speaking, as the cornerstone of a family, the patriarch was unlikely to object to the family’s decision.

As long as the Mo Family continued to exist, as long as there was no catastrophe that would lead to the family’s extermination, the patriarch, as the family guardian, wouldn’t even show their face.

However, submitting to the Li Family was, after all, a matter of great importance.

And for the Mo Family, already facing a formidable enemy like the Chen Family, it was not much different from being on the brink of extinction.

Now that Li Changlin had requested to meet with the Mo Family Patriarch, Mo Dongming found himself unable to refuse.

Soon, the two of them reached an agreement, and Mo Dongming agreed to arrange for Li Changlin to head to the Mo Family the next day to meet with the family’s guardian patriarch.

Mo Dongming then took his leave.

As for Mo Zijia, she naturally stayed behind.

Since she had just met Ye Xiyao, the two women were quietly chatting, and Li Changlin did not want to interrupt them by speaking out.

After seeing Mo Dongming off, Li Changlin simply went straight out the door.

At this time, it was almost twelve o’clock, and he went down to the cafeteria to get food.

Li Changlin knew Ye Xiyao’s tastes very well, so there was no need to ask her.

As for Mo Zijia, that was a bit embarrassing; whatever he ordered, she would just have to eat, Li Changlin did not bother to care about that.

Holding the meals, he knocked on the door, and Mo Zijia quickly ran to open it. Ye Xiyao had already gotten up and was sitting at the table, writing something.

Li Changlin placed the food on the table and saw that Ye Xiyao was signing her name—clearly giving Mo Zijia an autograph.

For a moment, Li Changlin felt a slight disappointment and couldn’t help but give Mo Zijia a white look.

The latter had already locked the door and shrank her neck guiltily when she felt Li Changlin’s gaze.

By this time, Ye Xiyao had finished writing and looked up at the curious scene between the two.

She couldn’t help but chuckle, this clever woman could guess what was in Li Changlin’s mind.

Holding the book that she had just signed, Ye Xiyao handed it to Mo Zijia, and Li Changlin noticed the title was "Super Special Forces" authored by Tianyu Villa. The book seemed to have either been abandoned mid-way or banned; he had read it before with several million words written. It happened right when online literature was under strict scrutiny, and the book was suspected of many violations of regulations, so it being banned was not a surprise.

Mo Zijia cherished the book and held it close to her chest, warily eyeing Li Changlin.

Every girl has a hero story in her heart, and although she was a woman, she was very fond of the male protagonist’s character in the book.

Despite the book being banned, it could still be accessed through various channels, and she had had this copy printed at her own expense.

Worried that Li Changlin would blame her and destroy the book, Mo Zijia was exceedingly cautious.

However, Li Changlin was not a petty man. Seeing Ye Xiyao covering her mouth to hide a snicker as if she had caught sight of him looking frustrated, Li Changlin could hardly be angry.

So, he took out the food, one dish after another, and then looking up at Mo Zijia, he said, "Let’s eat. I didn’t know what you liked, so I just had the cafeteria chef whip up something."

Mo Zijia acknowledged with an "oh" and placed the book on the hospital bed, slowly walking over.

In fact, Mo Zijia was somewhat displeased.

When Li Changlin had gone out earlier, he had obviously gone downstairs to place the order, so why hadn’t he asked her what she wanted to eat at that time?

From this, it was clear that Li Changlin actually had no real sincerity.

But since he had brought her a portion as well, it would not be appropriate for Mo Zijia to voice any criticism.

She wasn’t a fool. A personage from the Capital City like Li Changlin surely wouldn’t care about the feelings of a minor girl like her.

After talking with Ye Xiyao just now, Mo Zijia was quite certain that Li Changlin was definitely the legitimate son of the Capital Li Family.

If he weren’t such a distinguished figure, how could he possibly have become involved with a Heavenly Queen superstar like Ye Xiyao?
