Return to Mo Family Fortress

Salt City, Mo Family Fortress.

Before he knew it, Mo Tang had been away from this city for almost two years.

Standing once again at the entrance of the Mo Family Fortress, Mo Tang's mood was completely different.

"After this... this place will belong to me..."

The guards at the Mo Clan's gate looked at the man in front of them with some confusion, wondering if he had gone mad...

"May I ask who this gentleman is?"

If it weren't for the fact that Mo Tang was dressed in the attire of the Mo Clan leader, these people would probably have already tried to drive him away.

Mo Tang's rise in the Mo Clan was too sudden, and he was even directly thrown into Black Rock City by the family head, where he stayed for nearly two years...

So it's normal that many members of the Mo Clan don't recognize him.

Not angry, Mo Tang smiled slightly and said, "My name is Mo Tang!"

"Mo Tang ..."

Of the four guards, only one middle-aged guard, who was not young, muttered the name to himself and his eyes lit up.

"So it's Lord Mo Tang! I was blind and didn't recognize you. Are you back to wish the Great Elder a happy birthday?"

This middle-aged man was named Mo Hai. He used to be under Mo Ran's command, just like Mo Tang. However, Mo Hai had limited talent and was still only a Nine-star Fighter. So, after all these years, he had only just become First-Class Guard of the Mo Clan.

When they were escorting a caravan with Mo Ran, the two had quite a bit of interaction.

However, Mo Tang's sudden rise to power ultimately made him and the other person belong to two different worlds...

Although Mo Tang's departure from the Mo Clan and his subsequent assignment to Black Rock City seemed to stem from offending the family head and being abandoned by the Great Elder, resulting in a complete loss of power, it was still a significant event.

But no matter what, the other party was a regional commander, a mid-level figure in the Mo Clan, and not someone that ordinary guards like them could afford to offend.

Therefore, after recognizing Mo Tang, the other three, though somewhat disdainful, still dared not be disrespectful or negligent in any way.

Upon entering the Mo Family Fortress, according to custom, one must first pay homage to the family head.

Although Mo Lan, the head of the Mo Clan family, was very dissatisfied that his daughter was still thinking about this collateral branch of the family, he still had to put in a good word for her on the surface.

After all, Black Rock City has provided the Mo Clan with hundreds of thousands of Gold Coins in profit every year for the past two years, which is quite a very important asset.

However, after meeting the family head, he was directly refused an audience with the Great Elder and was not even allowed to see the Great Elder.

This left Mo Tang with a strange feeling.

Having become a middle-level member of the Mo Clan, Mo Tang was naturally qualified to live in the Mo Family Fortress. So, although he hadn't returned even once in the past two years, he still had a small courtyard in the Mo Family Fortress.

When Mo Tang was led to this unfamiliar home by the servants, the first person to greet him was none other than Xiao Hong, the maid he had bought from the slave trader.

The maid Xiao Hong and the cook were slaves bought by Mo Tang, so as long as he lived, they would belong to Mo Tang forever.

Looking at the little maid whose face he had almost forgotten, Mo Tang simply nodded and asked, "Nothing has happened in Mo Family Fortress these past two years, has it?"

While brushing the dust off her master's journey, the young maid quickly replied, "No. After you left, young master, we were brought here directly by the second young lady. For over a year, she's been taking care of us, so no one has dared to bother us..."

Xiao Hong's words made Mo Tang pause slightly, and then he asked with some surprise, "Second Miss? Are you talking about that little girl Mo Linglin?"

Upon hearing Mo Tang's address, Xiao Hong couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile, saying, "It is indeed Second Miss. However, Young Master..."

"The Second Miss isn't some little girl anymore, you know. If you were to meet her, you'd be quite surprised!"

"Oh? Is that so..." Mo Tang raised an eyebrow, not finding it surprising at all.

It is said that girls change a lot as they grow up, especially when they are about to become adults. It would not be surprising if they completely changed.

Think about your female classmates from junior high and high school. If you see them again in two years, it's normal that you won't recognize them!

As the saying goes, "Speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao appears."

As the fastest person in the previous life of China, he is still arrogant and domineering in the Dou Qi Continent.

Sure enough, the two had barely started talking about Mo Linglin when this second young lady of the Mo Clan arrived at their door in a noisy and boisterous manner...

Mo Tang was actually quite surprised.

I can't believe that even after two years, this girl still hasn't forgotten me...

Originally, in Mo Tang's view...

Two years ago, she was just a fourteen-year-old girl, mostly just a naive and curious teenager. After such a long period of no contact, she should be easily forgotten.

But the truth is...

"Mo Tang! You big liar! You actually dared to come back!"

Mo Linglin, the Second Miss of the Mo Clan, who had a bit of a fiery temper, was still dressed in a tight red dress. She stood outside the door with her hands on her hips, pointing her finger at Mo Tang who was walking out of the door and shouting angrily.

"Hehe, what makes you say that, Miss?" Mo Tang asked with a helpless smile and shrug.

"Hmph!" Mo Linglin snorted, deliberately turning her head away, and said with displeasure, "Don't call me Second Miss, I don't like it!"

"What should I call you? Ling Lin?"

Perhaps it was because Mo Tang called her "Ling Lin" so intimately that the girl, who was originally furious, suddenly blushed.

"Hmph... you... go ahead and yell if you want... I don't care!"

That statement sounded very unconvincing.

Especially the forced smile on his face made Mo Tang roll his eyes.

Sure enough, she's still that not-so-bright little girl!

"Hmph, you said you'd come back to see me often, but you've been gone for two years without a single word..."

Clearly, this girl was protesting against Mo Tang's neglect of her over the past two years.

Speaking of this, Mo Tang suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

To be honest, back then, this girl was really good to me. Mo Tang even promised to return to Salt City to see her when he had time...

But once he actually arrived in Salt City, besides racking his brains to find opportunities to improve his strength, he was thinking about Xiao Yi Xian, and even Yun Yun ...

He truly didn't remember Mo Linglin at all.

Perhaps this is due to the influence of the original work in her previous life... In Mo Tang's heart, the most important characters are still the female lead and the supporting female characters who have more screen time in the original work.

As for minor characters like Mo Linglin, they are really easy to overlook.

"Well, I'm back now... Look! I even brought you a present!"

When Mo Tang took out a pair of bracelets made of purple crystal, it was obvious that Mo Linglin's eyes lit up.

To be honest, they're just a pair of ordinary crystal bracelets; for the Second Miss of the Mo Clan, she could have as many as she wanted...

Its value is not as high as the wrist guards given to Qing Lin.

But as for gifts...

What really matters is who is sending it...

Therefore, even though it was just an ordinary pair of bracelets, Mo Linglin felt incredibly sweet holding them in her hands.
