Mo Weiran furrowed his brow and didn’t answer her question.
"I’m talking to you," the woman said coldly, seeing that Mo Weiran hadn’t spoken.
"Auntie, could we not make this a joke? Just because you ask me a question, I must answer? Shouldn’t you be more polite when asking?" Mo Weiran had never been known for his good temper. Just hearing the woman’s tone made him not want to respond.
Seeing that Mo Weiran spoke to her , a flicker of astonishment passed through the woman’s eyes, but quickly, her gaze turned colder. "How dare you speak to me like that? Do you know who I am to talk to me this way?" she said.
Hearing the woman’s words, Mo Weiran snorted derisively and spoke nonchalantly, "I don’t care who you are. Even if the Heavenly King’s father came today, he would need to ask me politely."
"Mo Qingsnow." Before Mo Qingsnow could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Mo Canglan.
Upon hearing this severe voice, Mo Qingsnow belatedly realized that her brother was beside her.
She quickly softened the harshness on her face, "Elder brother, I..."
"Shut up," Mo Canglan reprimanded sharply, cutting off her words, "Go stand aside."
Hearing this, a flash of displeasure crossed Mo Qingsnow’s eyes. She cast a cold glance at Mo Weiran, the murderous intent in her eyes fleeting. She then composed herself and quietly stood to one side.
"My apologies, my younger sister has lived in seclusion in the mountains for a long time and doesn’t understand worldly ways. I apologize for her rudeness on her behalf," said Mo Canglan with a friendly face to Mo Weiran.
Regarding Mo Canglan’s comment about not understanding worldly ways, Mo Weiran silently rolled his eyes internally, but since Mo Canglan’s demeanor was friendly and polite, Mo Weiran felt embarrassed to say anything more. Cradling a flower in one hand and scratching the back of his head with the other, he said, "It’s, it’s fine."
After speaking, he turned to look at Ling Yuanzhou, "Brother Zhou, let’s go."
Ling Yuanzhou, however, did not pay attention to Mo Weiran. Instead, he stepped forward and gave Mo Canglan a deep bow, his tone filled with respect, "Elder Mo, hello."
Mo Canglan was surprised to see this, not expecting the young man to recognize him.
Since Ling Yuanzhou was with Mo Weiran and he remembered they had indeed delayed their time, Mo Canglan returned the greeting with a friendly smile, "Hello."
Seeing Mo Canglan’s amiable response, Ling Yuanzhou felt a surge of joy and looked at Mo Canglan with excitement, "Elder Mo, I... I also study medicine. My name is Ling Yuanzhou, and I greatly admire you."
Mo Canglan responded with a kindly nod to Ling Yuanzhou and, after thinking for a moment, offered a word of encouragement, "The path of medicine is obstructed and long, with a journey far-reaching. Keep going and striving, and the future is promising."
Ling Yuanzhou felt truly moved upon hearing this. He wanted to say more to Mo Canglan but noticed that Mo Canglan had already turned to Mo Qingsnow and coldly said, "Let’s go."
With that, Mo Canglan nodded to both Ling Yuanzhou and Mo Weiran and strode away.
Listening to Mo Canglan’s somewhat icy tone, Mo Qingsnow had no choice but to follow. Before leaving, she glanced at Liu Yiyi, clad in yellow, and gave her a meaningful look.
Understanding instantly, Liu Yiyi nodded back at Mo Qingsnow.
Seeing this, Mo Qingsnow offered a frosty smile, then stepped forward to follow Mo Canglan. As she brushed past Mo Weiran, she flicked her long sleeve, which fluttered past him and then drifted away.
Seeing this, Mo Weiran silently rolled his eyes again, his impression of the woman in white plummeting.
As Mo Canglan left, Ling Yuanzhou moved his lips, but in the end, he said nothing. He just stared blankly at the retreating figure of Mo Canglan.
