Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2517: Chapter 2518: The Mo Family Arrives

Jiang Cunliang envied for a moment, then stepped forward, intending to enter.

But just at this moment, a group of people suddenly appeared on the long street.

The appearance of this group caused the originally noisy street to fall silent, and then the crowd voluntarily made way, with many people casting curious and astonished glances at them.

Jiang Cunliang couldn’t help but turn to look as well.

This was a group of men dressed in black.

This in itself was nothing unusual.

The key point was that the black clothes these people wore were extremely plain, even coarse hemp, and they only wore straw sandals on their feet, with small bundles on their backs, clearly arrived from a long journey.

Despite being so plain, their eyes were bright and firm, and their expressions were completely unperturbed, as if they were wearing the most exquisite garments in the world.

Upon seeing this group, Jiang Cunliang was also taken aback, and then couldn’t help but exclaim softly.

”Oh my, it’s the Mo Family!”

It seemed that his shout was heard, as the man at the front of the group turned his head to look towards him.

Jiang Cunliang’s whole body stiffened, feeling as if these eyes were as blazing as the noonday sun, with no trace of selfishness or desire, so dazzling that it was hard to meet their gaze.

But this feeling lasted only a moment, as the man immediately smiled gently at Jiang Cunliang, then turned his head forward again.

Jiang Cunliang stood there in a daze, his heart filled with infinite shock.

Because he, once a Za Family disciple, had recognized the man who smiled at him.

He was none other than the current leader and head of the Mo Family, the thirty-third Grandmaster Mo Kong.

Yet such a prominent figure smiled warmly at him, and wore clothes and straw sandals indistinguishable from other disciples.

Except for the black lacquered longsword at his waist, there was no difference whatsoever.

How could Jiang Cunliang not be shocked?

Even though the Za Family was in such decline, as an ordinary disciple, Jiang Cunliang could not easily see the Family Head, and even if he did, he would need to perform grand rituals of respect.

But this greater Mo Family Grandmaster was so amiable and approachable.

Jiang Cunliang couldn’t help but fall into deep contemplation.

And just at this moment, these Mo Family disciples, under the watchful eyes of everyone, walked straight to the front of a restaurant, but did not enter, instead walking very orderly under the eaves of a corridor.

”Sit!”

Only when the Grandmaster ordered did these Mo Family disciples sit silently against the wall.

”Eat!”

From the Grandmaster to the ordinary disciples, they all took out a piece of coarse hemp cloth from their bosoms, revealing a piece of bread inside.

Then they just sat under the eaves of the corridor, silently munching on the bread in their hands.

Inside the hall, separated by a wall, were a variety of exotic delicacies, the aroma wafting far and wide.

Outside, under the eaves, the Mo Family disciples contentedly ate their bread, each with a look of happiness on their face.

As if the bread in their hands were the tastiest delicacy in the world.

This stark contrast left the onlookers on the street somewhat dumbfounded.

Someone couldn’t help but whisper.

”I’ve only heard before that Mo Family people have high moral character, strict with themselves, and desire nothing material—today, I’ve seen it for myself!”

”But doesn’t the Mo Family never participate in this Bai Family gathering? Why are they here this time?” someone asked.

”Who knows? But it’s probably not for a simple reason. Just wait and see, this Bai Family gathering is likely to be lively!”

The crowd discussed endlessly, while Jiang Cunliang watched these Mo Family disciples thoughtfully.

To be honest, he was indeed astounded today.

He had never imagined anyone could live in such a plain, almost austere way.

Especially from the highest Grandmaster to the most ordinary disciple, all receiving the same treatment.

This caused a crack in his worldview.

As a former Za Family disciple, he had been instilled from a young age with the idea that everything could be used for personal gain, even to the point of betraying one’s parents.

Over time, this idea of not plucking a hair to benefit the world had taken deep root in his mind, and he believed the world to be of the same nature, only some concealed it better.

It was only upon encountering the Mo Family today that he realized people could live this way.

Somehow, watching these Mo Family disciples eating dry bread, he suddenly felt a bit of envy.

Because while they might lack material desires, they followed the path in their hearts.

This sense of happiness was indescribable.

Just as Jiang Cunliang was sighing, a middle-aged man dressed in brocade quickly walked out from the restaurant.

This man stepped forward to the Mo Family disciples and bowed deeply to the Grandmaster Mo Kong who sat in the center.

”I was unaware of the Mo Family Grandmaster’s arrival—please forgive me for not welcoming you sooner, what a grave error!”

Mo Kong smiled gently, ”You are too kind, Shopkeeper Fan. We came without notifying anyone, so there is no need for you to welcome us.”

The visitor was the Store Manager of this restaurant, and an outstanding figure of the merchant family, Fan Wuli.

As a merchant disciple who should ideally pursue profit, he bore the name Wuli (meaning ’without profit’), which was an ironic twist.

Fan Wuli chuckled and then glanced at the bread in their hands, immediately saying, ”I’ve just informed the kitchen to prepare a feast. Please, come up to the hall!”

Mo Kong shook his head, ”No need to bother, Shopkeeper Fan. We are used to this bread and have long refrained from wine and meat!”

”But...,” Fan Wuli’s face showed discomfort, then glanced at the growing crowd of onlookers on the street.

With so many people watching, if he were to leave now, who knows what rumors might spread tomorrow?

There would surely be some who openly and secretly mock both himself and the merchant family for being too profit-driven, leaving the Mo Family, also from the Bai Family, to gnaw on bread outside.

Noticing the difficulty on his face, the Mo Family Grandmaster suddenly smiled and then said to those around him, ”Alright, since this Shopkeeper Fan has sincerely invited us, let us go inside for a cup of tea!”

Fan Wuli was overjoyed, ”Thank you, Grandmaster! Please!”

The Mo Family disciples stood up silently, orderly lining up to enter the hall.

Seeing this, Jiang Cunliang’s eyes flickered and he followed into the restaurant as well.

Meanwhile, on Tian Street not far from the restaurant, a woman looked at the silhouettes of the Mo Family with surprise and then whispered.

”Did the Mo Family really come? Don’t they never attend such gatherings?”

Beside her, a short old man stroked his beard with a smile and said, ”What the Mysterious Lady says is correct, but I feel these Mo Family people must have a reason for coming this time!”

”After all, these ascetic-like fellows are best at detecting danger early and eliminating it!”
