Chapter 76

Under the enchanting moonlight, the tranquil city of Bocheng exuded the softness and elegance characteristic of a southern city, its rivers winding around it in a gentle flow. The mountains beyond the city stretched endlessly.

Tomorrow was a day of utmost importance to his life.

Children from poor families didn’t have coming-of-age ceremonies, but in others' eyes, he had already received a pretty good one—playing a supporting role at the coming-of-age ceremony of a wealthy family’s child.

In others' eyes, he was undoubtedly the one who squatted on the ground to polish Yuang’s black leather shoes, making him stand out even more among his peers.

But was it really so?

Raising the beer beside him, Mo Fan tilted his head back and poured the icy cold drink down his throat.

Before him stood a cluster of high-rise buildings, with the nearly hundred-meter-tall World Trade Tower towering in front of him, like a solitary sword proudly standing in the center of the city, illuminated by the lights.

Mo Fan sat on the balcony, where the wind was howling. He had always liked sitting here, where he could see the bustling scenery of the entire city of Bocheng, the World Trade Tower, the Mu Family Manor, the Bo River that ran through the city, and the Tianlan Magic High School nestled in the Southern Mountains.

As he was lost in thought, footsteps, steady and light, echoed from the corridor behind him. A cool breeze blew from behind, and Mo Fan knew who had come without turning around.

“I asked Xin Xia, she said you were here.” The girl’s clear and pleasant voice came, which would be as beautiful as a silver bell in the snow if it weren’t so cold.

“So late and you’re still looking for me? This time, I can’t carry you and run away.” Mo Fan grabbed a newspaper used to wrap peanuts and spread it beside him, gesturing for the person to sit next to him.

Mu Ningxue stood there, her eyes showing a hint of emotion at Mo Fan’s familiar gesture.

When they were young, he would take her to strange and interesting places to play. He could sit anywhere, but she was afraid of dirtying her pretty dress and wouldn’t sit. He would always find something relatively clean to lay down beside him, even his own shirt. Even though his shirt was sometimes dirty too.

“Don’t go tomorrow. Yuang will be ruthless with you. He follows my father’s every word, and any slight against my father, even a single insult, will make him furious and relentless.” Mu Ningxue stood there and said to Mo Fan.

“Your father really has a good dog. I bet in this city, he’ll bite whoever your father tells him to.” Mo Fan had no good feelings towards Yuang.

“He’s very strange, and I don’t like him either.” Mu Ningxue said.

“Alright, I’ll help you teach him a lesson tomorrow.” Mo Fan said with a smile.

“Don’t you understand? I’m telling you not to go tomorrow.” Mu Ningxue frowned.

“Miss, have you reached the Intermediate Mage level?”

“Don’t go tomorrow. Avoid this trouble, and then go to the magic university. In the four years at the university, I’ll gradually take control of the family’s power. When you come back to Bocheng, no one will dare to touch you.”

“Are you trying to keep me? But I still want to go.” Mo Fan turned his head, feigning surprise.

“You...” Mu Ningxue’s chest heaved with anger.

She was trying to help him seriously, but he was still making jokes. Did he even realize that offending her father meant he had no place to stay in this city of Bocheng?

Mu Ningxue found it impossible to communicate with Mo Fan and turned to leave.

...

“Brother Fan, I heard the little princess came to see you.” Zhang Xiaohou sent a text message.

“Yeah.”

“How did it go?”

“She still admires me a lot, telling me to beat up that guy named Yuang.”

“Speak in plain language.”

“Alright, she told me to run away to avoid getting beaten to death, hahaha.”

“Brother Fan, I also suggest you run. Yuang is a psychopath, a very strange person.”

...

The day finally arrived.

Early in the morning, Mo Fan, who was staying at his aunt Mo Qing’s house, could already hear the festive sounds coming from the nearby manor.

One luxury car after another drove up the winding mountain road and entered the Mu Family Manor. Mo Fan, who had taken a motorcycle, wondered if he had disgraced the title of “Yuang’s opponent.”

As soon as he stepped through the iron gate, Mo Fan saw a few familiar figures.

“Li Wenjie, Fat Shi, you finally made it. Come in quickly, our manor has some of the best chefs in Bocheng, guaranteed to satisfy your taste.” Guo Caitang greeted her team members at the entrance.

“Hahaha, thanks to you, we small city management officers get a chance to see the life of the rich.” Fat Shi patted his growling stomach.

“What a pity, Fan Mo can’t come because he has something to do. Otherwise, he could have seen your luxurious life, and he would definitely chase after you relentlessly.” Li Wenjie said.

Guo Caitang glared fiercely at Li Wenjie.

In her heart, she actually felt a bit sorry. She really hoped to invite Fan Mo to her home this time.

Wait, is that Fan Mo??

Guo Caitang’s gaze shifted, and she suddenly saw a familiar figure. Upon closer inspection, she was instantly filled with disgust and annoyance.

It wasn’t Fan Mo, but the little rascal Mo Fan.

She didn’t know what kind of dog’s courage this kid had, daring to challenge Yuang. He would surely be beaten half to death.

“Hmph, you came?” Guo Caitang looked at Mo Fan with a haughty expression.

“Yeah, no place to have breakfast.” Mo Fan said with a defiant tone.

Guo Caitang was furious. What did this little rascal think the Mu Family Manor was, a free buffet!

“If you apologize now, I’ll make Yuang go easy on you.” Guo Caitang said coldly.

“Still holding a grudge over the diaper incident? How about I take responsibility for it, it’s not a big deal.” Mo Fan said.

“Go to hell!”

After teasing Guo Caitang, Mo Fan laughed and walked into the Mu Family Manor.

After all, he was an important figure today and should have his own seat. Well, there were so many delicious things, he might as well eat first.

“Who is this arrogant kid?”

“Which family’s disciple is he, daring to tease our Sister Caitang?”

“What family? Just the son of a driver, who publicly insulted our Grandfather Mu. He’s the one who’s going to have a magic duel with Yuang today.” Guo Caitang said with disdain.

“Are young people these days already so arrogant?”

“Not all of them. Look at our team’s Fan Mo, a lightning mage, strong and young but not arrogant. Caitang, I sincerely advise you to get Fan Mo quickly, or he might be taken by another woman...” Fat Shi said again.

“Don’t talk nonsense. Hmph, I invited him to my home this time, and he didn’t come. Who cares about him!” Guo Caitang’s face turned red, and she quickly defended herself in a low voice.

(You should be proud of me, I haven’t begged for recommendations for so many days. I’ve given you peace for so many days, can you give me a great life on the recommendation list?)
