"Junior White Crane, I greet you, senior. This is a small gift, please accept it as a token of respect!" White Crane said hurriedly while taking out a large, exquisitely crafted gift box and handing it over.
Mo Xingjian did not reach out to receive it, remembering the embarrassing situation earlier and feeling extremely awkward.
This damn third brother, he has no insight at all. Wasn’t he just trying to make me lose face in front of an outsider? I’ll deal with you later.
Mo Xingjian cleared his throat before turning his gaze to White Crane.
It looked person had returned with the second lady. But soon, his attention was caught by White Crane’s bushy eyebrows, which resembled caterpillars, and he couldn’t help but frown.
"I feel like I’ve seen you somewhere before, especially those distinctive eyebrows. You’re called White Crane?"
Not long after, Mo Xingjian seemed to remember something, and a realization dawned upon him. He then smiled: "Your mother’s surname is Bai, correct?"
White Crane abruptly lifted his head, his eyes full of surprise.
"I once visited the imperial capital with an old friend and saw you from afar. It was him who pointed you out to me. Am I right? Fourth Prince!" Mo Xingjian said.
White Crane helplessly gave a bitter smile.
But he still respectfully saluted and said, "Senior, please just call me White Crane. I only wish to live as a carefree and ordinary person."
Mo Xingjian looked at him and slightly nodded.
From his dress and manner, it was clear that this child lacked any royal demeanor. Instead, he was quite down-to-earth, and his entire aura was extremely ordinary, without a trace of royalty.
Moreover, when he met the old friend years ago, he had heard that this child loved to be solitary since young, showing no interest in royal etiquette and social interactions, and was living freely and transparently.
"Then I won’t treat you as an honored guest. Old third, arrange a place for Mr. Bai!" Mo Xingjian said towards the bushes, then quickly left.
At that moment, Yan Xiaohu cautiously peeked out, his face full of shock: "Brother-in-law, are you the Fourth Prince of the Holy Martial Dynasty, Xuanyuan Crane? Does my second sister know?"
White Crane helplessly nodded: "She knows."
"Oh my, how did I become a relative of the royal family all of a sudden? This is quite the mess. But my sister’s taste is really something!" Yan Xiaohu was extremely excited.
No wonder he was so generous, turns out he’s royalty.
"Let’s go, I’ll take you to your room first. Tonight, we need to have a good chat!" Yan Xiaohu said enthusiastically.
White Crane pointed to the distance: "What about your second sister..."
"Don’t worry, it’s fine. By the way, brother-in-law, how did you meet my sister? How far have you progressed? Holding hands or kissing? Wait, my sister hasn’t been back for four years, could it be that she secretly had a child with you? Am I going to be an uncle?"
"You and Ling Ling have very different personalities, she talks less."
Outside Zhou Qing’s residence, Luo Lingling carefully sensed and indeed detected traces of Spiritual Power flowing within the barrier, which finally put her mind at ease.
Mo Xingjian also landed there, looking at the figure before him, and hesitantly spoke: "Old fourth is in seclusion, it’s been three months now. Don’t worry, um... are, are you alright?"
"Sorry!" Luo Lingling slowly turned around, her gaze falling on Mo Xingjian, full of apology as she spoke.
Seeing this, Mo Xingjian was immediately flattered and hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no need to apologize. It’s actually good to move around occasionally. By the way, the third brother, fourth brother, and I visited Cyan Wood City because of the Spirit Field matter and saw the letter you left there."
