Mo Yan's expression grew increasingly solemn.
His gaze turned even more sinister.
In Mo Yan's eyes, there was anger, unwillingness, and grievance. Of course, the raging fury took up the majority.
But Mo Bai didn't back down either.
He returned Mo Yan's gaze with the same intensity.
Mo Bai had always thought that his father and mother must have loved each other. Maybe his mother died of difficult labor after giving birth to him. His father, out of missing his mother, couldn't get out of the haze of losing her. That was why he had taken poor care of Mo Bai when he was a child.
He was the child of the God Throne.
The only child of Mo Yan.
But back then, any peer stronger than him could bully him.
Moreover, he wasn't even allowed to complain when bullied.
If he went to his father covered in wounds, his father, seeing him in such a sorry state, would surely whip him severely.
"Who have you been listening to spout nonsense?"
"What? Father, aren't the words I said the truth? Then tell me, my mother, didn't she hang herself? Didn't she even have a tombstone? Tell me, did my father love my mother?"
Mo Bai questioned one after another.
Every word hit Mo Yan right in the heart.
He kept retreating.
Yes, Mo Bai was right.
Even now, Mo Yan couldn't remember what the woman named Wanwan looked like.
He only remembered the "Luo Qiu" he had carefully nurtured five hundred years ago.
Yes.
Mo Yan admitted.
After Wanwan died, he didn't even feel sad or care about her death.
He didn't even let anyone erect a tombstone for Mo Bai's mother.
On the contrary.
He ordered people to throw his mother's body into a huge pit, letting vultures peck at it and the rain wash it away.
He had also ignored Mo Bai many times.
But as Mo Bai grew up.
He found that this little boy was so tenacious. Although he didn't have strong innate abilities, he would still go all out to fight back when facing a strong enemy.
When the child stood in front of him with a swollen face and blood flowing from his arm, saying that he had hurt himself with a firm look in his eyes.
Time and time again.
Mo Yan, as a father.
He was touched.
He began to silently be kind to Mo Bai, slowly sending people to train him. Every time he got injured, he would also put wound - healing powder in the wooden bucket for Mo Bai's evening bath.
All for the purpose of helping him grow step by step.
After he learned that Mo Bai was missing.
Mo Yan was completely flustered.
At that time, the ban on the Ghost Domain hadn't been lifted.
He couldn't leave the Ghost Domain.
But he never gave up looking for Mo Bai.
Mo Yan searched every inch of the Ghost Domain.
After not finding him, he mobilized all his power to send Qing Feng and some secret guards from the Divine Sect out to look for Mo Bai.
Mo Yan admitted that at first, he really didn't pay attention to Mo Bai or care about his growth. But later, everything changed.
At this moment, Mo Yan's silence seemed like an admission to Mo Bai.
Facing such a father.
He was extremely heart - broken.
"Did I hit the nail on the head?"
"Father, the person you like isn't mother, is it?"
"I'm sorry."
"You don't need to say sorry to me. The person you're most sorry to isn't me."
Mo Yan said, "There are many things you don't know."
"But knowing these is enough for me."
"Father, did you see me as just a pawn from the very beginning? If I hadn't returned with the copper piece and my spiritual and spiritual power in my body hadn't recovered so quickly, would you have abandoned me just like you abandoned my mother back then?"
Mo Yan remained silent.
Mo Bai's heart was aching at this moment.
Before, he thought his mother was Luo Qiu. The history books all said that Luo Qiu had an indescribable relationship with the Emperor Zun Yan Ruyu.
Mo Bai thought that his mother's existence had brought disgrace to him, which was why his father didn't want to mention his mother.
And since he had been abandoned by his mother, it was already not easy for his father to raise him. He shouldn't have used this matter to stimulate his father.
But he never expected.
His mother wasn't Luo Qiu, nor was she the person his father doted on.
"Mo Bai, have you had enough of this!"
Mo Yan's face was extremely ugly at this moment.
With his roar, the entire main hall seemed to tremble.
Mo Bai said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Why are you so flustered? I still have your blood flowing in my body. I know your wish is to make the Ghost Domain prosperous and become the overlord of this Nine - Province Continent. Don't worry, you're my father, my biological father. As your pawn, I will try my best to fulfill your wish."
Mo Yan never thought.
One day, the child he had painstakingly nurtured would talk to him in such a tone.
Full of sarcasm.
"Mo Bai—"
"Father."
Mo Bai stared directly into Mo Yan's eyes.
Then he bent his knees and knelt down.
"What are you doing?"
"Father, can you tell me where my mother is buried?"
Mo Yan felt a pang in his heart.
Buried?
When Wanwan died, she didn't even have a basic burial.
Seeing through Mo Yan's thoughts.
Mo Bai said despairingly, "Father, my good father, you're not going to tell me that my mother not only didn't have a tombstone but also didn't have a burial plot, are you?"
Mo Yan remained silent.
"Did she not even have a coffin or a straw mat when she died?"
"Your mother is already dead. What's the use of you knowing these things?"
Mo Bai stood up.
He said, "Father, to be honest, I really look down on you."
He almost gritted his teeth as he said this.
During the time with Zhao Shuning, her every word and deed had been deeply engraved in Mo Bai's heart.
Mo Bai was also a bit of a perfectionist when it came to feelings.
He thought that if he didn't like a woman, even if she came to him, he would never touch her.
He also always thought that he must be the crystallization of his mother and father's love. His father should at least have a bit of affection for his mother.
But now, his father's reactions.
Made Mo Bai feel.
The once pure affection could be so dirty.
Mo Yan was his father and also his role model all along.
"Slap!"
In a fit of rage.
Mo Yan lost his head and slapped Mo Bai hard.
Mo Bai's body tilted to the side. The force was so great that his face quickly swelled up.
Mo Yan's hand also went numb.
At this moment, his heart was filled with anger.
Before, no matter how disobedient Mo Bai was, the most he did was whip him severely.
"Father is right to discipline me. I'll remember this slap."
Mo Bai knelt in front of Mo Yan again.
After kowtowing three times hard, he got up and left.
Watching Mo Bai's departing figure.
Mo Yan's lips trembled.
For a long time, he couldn't say a single word to persuade him to stay.
