I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot

Chapter 1235: 18.73 First Grey Star - Mo Clanʼs Dinner Feast

Ye Jieye finally reached the Mo Clanʼs Territory. The Mo Clanʼs mansion was now being entered by Lu Shang, Lu Ming, Mo Yuhan, Su Jin, and Ji Yoonjun, who had followed in his footsteps and were escorted in by the on-duty guards. The heir, Mo Xuejing, had long yearned to tell the patrolling guards about the potential arrival of Ye Jieye and the others.

These guards gave a frightened salute before Ye Jieyeʼs expressionless face, but they were also relieved to see Young Master Mo Yuhan back.

”Lord Ye, the heir had been waiting for your return. Please let this servant escort the lord to the dining hall!”

”Show the way,” Ye Jieye said as he walked forward. The servant guiding him stood a step behind and spoke in the direction of the dining hall.

Lu Shang and the others are led by another servant, and they trail Ye Jieye closely all the way to the inner dining hall, which is reserved for the heir and his entourage this evening, where the two Heavenly Guardians are seated with their great-grandchildren.

When Ye Jieye first arrived, the Mo Clan members all turned to face him. Despite the attention of over a hundred people, he remained composed and calm, acting as though they were never there. The hall fell silent, and Ye Jieye motioned for the guide to get down as he surveyed his surroundings and noticed where his wife and kids were.

”Here is enough.”

Then, with clam strides, he confidently walks down the center of the hall, his firm footsteps echoing in the silent hall, making the nervous feel even more uneasy. The aura that Ye Jieye naturally emits is something that people can hardly ignore, but they can also deny the fear that follows.

Countless people in the hall held back their breath as Ye Jieye passed by them, only letting out a breath after he had passed. Ye Jieye did not immediately go to the table where his wife was, instead choosing to stand before Mu Zang and Mo Xinyue, greeting their elders.

”Ye Jieye has returned. I hope Grandfather and Ancestor Mo will forgive Jieye for arriving late.”

”Is your business finished?” Mu Zang asked.

Ye Jieye answered, ”Yes, grandfather.”

”You must also call me Grandfather. Only then you can sit down,” Mo Xinyue said.

Startled a little, Ye Jieye lifted his head to meet Heavenly Guardian Moʼs gaze, bowed slightly, and almost immediately spoke out, sensing the seriousness in the elderly manʼs deep set eyes.

”Greetings to Grandfather Mo.”

”Good. Good. Okay, Xueʼer, go help your husband with dinner. Donʼt worry about the cubs, Zang, and I will feed them. Feel free to rest as you eat,” Mo Xinyue said.

Mo Xuejing stood up and said, ”Yes, Grandfather.” Then he walked to where Ye Jieye was and pulled him onto their table.

The seniors were also met by Lu Shang, Lu Ming, Mo Yuhan, Su Jin, and Jo Yoonjun, and then they were led to another table, where only Mo Xuejing and Ye Jieye had the right to occupy the same space as the Heavenly Guardians, since they were their heirs.

On their table, Mo Xuejing served some food on his belovedʼs plate. He picked only those dishes Ye Jieye eats and even added the vegetables on his plate to his.

Mo Xuejing said, ”AʼYe eat a lot~”

”Youʼre not going to eat your peas?” Ye Jieye whispered with a cunning smile on the corner of his lips.

”Silence.”

Mo Xuejing blushed as he felt his lover was teasing him. He could only shut his mouth while secretly pinching his manʼs leg.

”Ah! Baby, Iʼm just joking,” Ye Jieye said.

Heavenly Guardian Mo Xinyue announced, ”Let us begin the dinner feast!”

”Yes!”

BANG!

Then the hall door suddenly opens, displaying the dark-faced Heavenly Guardian Lu Wangle, shocking everyone in the hall with his quick and unexpected presence. The murmurs in the hall became louder.

”He is the Heavenly Guardian of the Lu Clan!?”

”Why is this lord here? Is he here for the ancestor? Maybe his grandson, his heir, is also here!”

”Donʼt tell me, are they going to fight?”

”No way, that will be scary.”

This old manʼs sudden appearance infuriated Mu Zang and Mo Xinyue, who sensed something untoward was about to happen—after all, he did not seem like the right person for them. They watched as he scanned the hall, his eyes eventually falling on Ye Jieye, who was happily being fed by his wife.

Heavenly Guardian Lu Wangle appeared relieved to see that his grandson Ye Jieye was safe and even flirting with his daughter-in-law. It is obvious that Ye Jieyeʼs arrival startled him, but this brat is obviously ignoring him on purpose. He was angry not because he was ignored but because of the news his people brought to him.

We warned him that he would be hurt when he fell silently to the ground after learning that the heir had entered the Tower of God by himself.

He took big steps toward Ye Jieye but stopped when he felt something hugging his legs. Looking down, he saw Ye Jingxia, and Anxia was hugging him, looking up at him with glowing eyes. He flew immediately to the Mo Clanʼs territory upon hearing that news, and he was only relieved to see this damn brat safe.

Ye Jingxia said, ”Itʼs you, Grandpa, who looks like me! Why are you here? Are you here to eat dinner with Xiao Jing and Xiao Xia?”

His visage instantly changed from that of an angry lion to that of a stupid old man who was grinning while helping the two cubs to cling to him like monkeys.

Heavenly Guardian Lu Wangle softly spoke with gentleness. ”Grandpa Lu is not here to eat dinner. He needs to talk with your papa.”

”But Grandpa Lu, itʼs dinner time. Canʼt you talk to Papa after we eat? Daddy says itʼs unmannered to speak loudly as we eat,” Ye Jingxia said.

His visage instantly changed from that of an angry lion to that of a stupid old man who was grinning while helping the two cubs to stop clinging to him like monkeys.

Mu Zang said, ”Xiao Jing, Xiaxia, you can ignore that old man. That one doesnʼt know how to listen at all.”

”Your arrival is unexpected, but you are welcome to join our familyʼs dinner feast,” Mo Xinyue said as he smirked at Lu Wangle.

The words these two guys had just uttered tickled Lu Wangle. Sadly, he fears losing his temper, which would frighten his great-grandchildren and make him unimportant. All he could do was sigh loudly and glance at Ye Jieye, who was staring at him silently.

”Letʼs talk after dinner about why you climbed the Tower of God alone,” Heavenly Guardian Lu Wangle said.

Ye Jieye looked different and said, ”If I have time,” once again ignoring the grumpy old man afterwards.

Lu Wangle was pissed by his bratʼs reaction but unable to lose his temper. His face turned red, making the two cubs laugh at him.

Ye Jingxia said, ”Grandpa Lu looks like a tomato!”

”Tumatu! Bhig reed Tumatu!” Anxia cheered, echoing her big brotherʼs words as usual.

Heavenly Guardian Lu Wangleʼs anger subsided upon hearing the sweet voices of his great-grandchildren; he picked them up from his legs and held them in his arms, smiling foolishly, until he was forced to sit at the same table as Mu Zang and Mo Xinyue, at which point the dinner feast was resumed.

Even though there had been a number of disturbances throughout the meal, everyone was nevertheless treated to an opulent feast cooked by the Mo family, with big amounts of rare and legendary-grade ingredients in each dish. Xiao Jing and Anxia particularly loved the abundance of options.

By the time the dinner feast was over, most of the people in the hall had left, leaving only the three Heavenly Guardians, which were Ye Jieye, Mo Xuejing, Lu Shang, Leica, Mo Yuhan, Lu Ming, Su Jin, and Ji Yoonjun; Doctor Guang was seated next to Lu Shang and Leica, and the two cubs, who had been eating the most, were sleepy.

Mo Xinyue said, ”Even though we wanted to start the conversation, the rest must take their leave. Xueʼer, bring your children to rest for tonight. They are tired from your journey here and playing around all afternoon.”

Mo Xuejing didnʼt respond right away and went to his husband beside him, who only gave him a gentle smile.

Ye Jieye said, ”I will tell you everything later. Ask Leica to help you bathe the cubs. Donʼt worry, everything is alright.” He said as he gave his wife a kiss on his forehead. They were always like this, and this is Ye Jieyeʼs way of showing his love for him.

Mo Xuejing nods his head and turns to his grandfather.

Looking helpless, Mo Xinyue said to his grandson. ”Even with all three of us combined, I donʼt think we can beat your husband. Donʼt worry, we are just going to talk. If you are not worried about your cubs, you can come back after putting them to sleep.”

”I will, grandfather. Please excuse me for a while, Grandpa Mu, Ancestor Lu,” Mo Xuejing said.

Lu Wangle said, ”You can call me grandpa or anything you wish. Even though we did a lot in the past, I am not going to ask you to forgive us, but we greatly regret making those decisions. This old man apologized.”

He bowed his head without concern for his status. Mo Xinyue saw him and do the same. His deeds spoke louder than words, and Mo Xuejing was left speechless, turning back to face Ye Jieye.

Ye Jieye calmly said, ”I will follow your decision. Forgive them if you wish. If not, then I shall not do so as well.” His voice is firm and confident. This greatly shows his strength and the difference between them.

Mo Xinyue thought for a moment. ”I donʼt remember anything in the past, and if my memories return, my decision right now might have changed. I only wanted to live with AʼYe and the cubs like normal people, but my feeling of wanting to let our children meet their grandfathers and relatives is real. So at this moment, I forgive you.”

Hearing Mo Xuejingʼs comments, Mo Xinyue and Lu Wangle trembled, and Ye Jieye looked serious just now, saying that Mo Xuejingʼs decision would determine whether or not he would forgive him. Their eyes reddened at this, and Mu Zang remained silent, listening to the exchange.

Mo Xinyue said, ”This is enough for now. Thank you, Xueʼer.”

”Um. Iʼm going to put the cubs to sleep first, grandfather. Please excuse us,” Mo Xuejing said as he had Leica carry Ye Jingxia and exit the hall with the children.

After they left, there was an awkward and tense atmosphere in the hall. But as if he wasnʼt affected, Ye Jieye looked at Lu Shang.

”Shang, send the others to rest as well. Three days from now, we will head to the Aurora Glaciers,” Ye Jieye commanded.

Lu Shang saluted and replied, ”As you wish, my lord.”

”Yuhan, I saw them on the way to the guest rooms,” Mo Xinyue said.

Mo Yuhan responded, ”Yes, Ancestor.”

It was only after Mo Yuhan, leading with Lu Shang beside him, that Lu Ming, Su Jin, Ji Yoonjun, and Doctor Guang departed the hall; the moment Ye Jieye and the remaining three Heavenly Guardians were the only ones remaining, the atmosphere turned even more tense and unsettling.

The sight of Ye Jieye sitting them down and looking at him with a disbelieving expression, as if they could no longer recognize this indifferent young man, sent shivers down the spines of the three Heavenly Guardians. For some reason, instead of feeling at ease, the elders felt nervous, and when Ye Jieyeʼs pair of obsidian irises fell upon them, they recoiled instinctively.

Ye Jieye said, ”You can ask as you will. But the answer depends on my mood.”

There is no longer any trace of the Ye Jieye of the past; instead, he is a cold-hearted man whose emotions are given to his beloved and his children. As for the rest, they are all strangers. The three old men were confused by the complete change in temperament. They were also uncomfortable by the silent suppression of his aura.
