His Young Master

He didn't know the exact number, but he knew the approximate figure.

Anyway, after glancing at it and confirming that he had enough Spirit Stone for the return trip, he confidently began to steer the spirit boat towards the direction of Hufang Province.

Because it travels in a straight line in the air, once the initial orientation is determined, the spirit boat doesn't need Mo Yuanjiao to keep a close eye on it.

He just needs to make adjustments from time to time.

Everyone in the Mo Household except Mo Yuanjiao was amazed when they first went into space.

Only Madam Mo showed some discomfort after the spirit boat left the ground, saying she felt a little dizzy. Mo Yuanjiao immediately took out several thick brocade backs from his Storage Bag, had the servants spread them out on the boat, and then pulled Madam Mo over.

"Mother, try lying down."

Madam Mo looked at her youngest son with a loving expression.

"Okay, okay, I'll lie down."

Then I lay down as instructed.

Old Madam Mo didn't feel uncomfortable at all; on the contrary, she walked to the side of the boat with great interest and looked down.

It was her first time in space, and she had never seen anything like it from the sky before. She found it very interesting.

The same was true of the servants and guards, but they kept their duties in mind and did not go looking around for anything new.

The servants responsible for attending to Madam Mo were taking care of her at that moment.

After comforting his mother, Mo Yuanjiao ran off to playfully banter with his grandmother for a few moments before calling Baojian to go alone to the other end of the spirit boat.

"When I told you to find some trustworthy people in advance, did you ask your cousin?"

Upon hearing this, Bao Jian, who had previously been wondering why his young master had Baojian him, brightened up and nodded vigorously, saying:

"Yes, yes, I followed the instructions I gave you before, young master. I told you that if the person you found wasn't from the Mo Household, you should have them wait at Lingxiao Escort Agency for the time being. How did you know that, young master? Could it be that my cousin has already arrived at Lingxiao Escort Agency? Did Young Master Qin and Young Master Liu bring news of my cousin this time?"

In the past few days, Baojian had met Liu Yunan and Qin Jianghe. In his eyes, these two were not only his young master's fellow disciples, but also about the same age as his young master, so of course he would address them both as young master.

I had received a message from Liu Yunan before, Mo Yuanjiao was quite busy in the capital and didn't have time to talk to Baojian about it, so I forgot about it later.

Until recently Liu Yunan and Qin Jianghe came over.

He had been running around the capital city with Qin Jianghe for the past two days. When the two chatted occasionally, Mo Yuanjiao realized that he hadn't told Baojian about Tong Jialiang yet.

Looking at the attendant who had grown up with him since childhood, he felt a pang of guilt and said:

"Your cousin encountered some trouble on his way to Songyang County."

Then he told Baojian that Tong Jialiang had stayed overnight at a mountain stronghold on the road, and was then kidnapped by cultivators from the neighboring Huanyou Nation to mine—a mine that could kill people. Although he was eventually rescued, he had been in a daze and had never spoken again.

At first, Baojian Jian didn't react immediately after hearing it.

Because things like cultivators and deadly ores were too far removed from his reality.

He had never encountered anything like this before, and he couldn't even imagine it at all.

However, he understood the last sentence, which mentioned that his cousin had been in a daze and hadn't spoken for many days.

He didn't think it was a very serious matter, but looking at his young master's expression, it seemed quite serious, so he cautiously asked:

"Young master, can my cousin's illness be cured?... Is it easy to cure?"

Upon hearing this, Mo Yuanjiao stood with his hands on his hips by the boat, a hint of anxiety in his heart. Although he had cultivated for so long, he knew nothing about healing. However, seeing the cautious way the man held his Baojian, he thought for a moment and said:

"I haven't seen him either, so I don't know much, but I heard that he's accompanied by a girl at the Qi Refining First Layer. She talks to him every day, takes him out for walks, and has fed him quite a few pills. Now your cousin doesn't seem as dazed as he did at first, and his eyes occasionally show some sparkle. He should be curable, right?"

Hearing this, Baojian felt much more at ease and smiled ingratiatingly at Mo Yuanjiao:

"Thank you for your concern, young master. For us country folk, as long as we're not missing an arm or a leg, it's no big deal. My younger cousin is just a bit young and inexperienced, so he might have been frightened for a while. Please don't take offense, young master."

He's actually quite clever, and honest and reliable. Once his little ailment is cured, he'll definitely be able to do things for you again..."

Because they had grown up together since childhood, Mo Yuanjiao knew Baojian's temperament and thoughts very well.

Baojian is good in every way, especially to him, but there's one downside: he always has to remember his status as a servant.

Despite his usual playful Mo Yuanjiao, he is always extremely careful not to bother Mo Yuanjiao or affect his young master when something really happens.

The situation is similar now. Mo Yuanjiao had instructed him to gather trustworthy people to prepare for future tasks, but his cousin had an accident. After confirming that his cousin was alright, Baojian's first reaction was to worry about whether it would affect his young master's work, and whether his young master would dislike his cousin, thinking that his cousin was incompetent and would not let his cousin help with tasks in the future.

Mo Yuanjiao couldn't stand his obsequious and ingratiating demeanor, but there was nothing he could do. Baojian had always been like this, and it was impossible for him to change.

Moreover, Mo Yuanjiao had previously asked Madam Mo about this issue.

Madam Mo told him that as a servant, telling him not to value you so much is tantamount to telling him not to be so loyal.

Looking at Bao Jian, who was three years older than him but now half a Baojian shorter, Mo Yuanjiao waved his hand and said:

"Alright, let's talk about things after your cousin is fully recovered. There's no rush. You should spend more time with him and offer him some encouragement."

Hearing him say that, Baojian finally felt completely relieved.

Although he knew his young master was a good person, he felt he shouldn't let his own affairs affect the young master's plans.

From the time he was a young boy, starving and dizzy, he was bought by his master while lying on the roadside with grass stuck in his hair. His master then brought him into the mansion, where he lived with the master, who provided him with food and clothing and even taught him to read. In Baojian's heart, the master was everything.

Actually, when he first entered the Mo Residence with his Baojian, he was not a hereditary servant and therefore not qualified to serve Mo Yuanjiao.

However, because he was not a hereditary servant, he inevitably faced exclusion and bullying from other servants in the Mo Residence.

When Baojian was first brought back to the Mo Residence, the servants assumed that their young master had taken pity on him and brought him back to feed him, and that they would probably forget about him in a couple of days.
