Chapter 334 That really hit home, bro.
He held Xie Xuanji's hand with one hand and pinched Xin Moyan's cheek with the other, saying, "It's been a long time since I've seen you. Little Moyan's health has improved quite a bit."
"uncle?"
Xin Moyan was annoyed; she didn't want to hear this.
Xie Cangming couldn't help but smile and slowly explained, "Hehe~ Xiao Xuanji is my younger sister who was left to me by my father and mother after I left Gu Cang. Since childhood, the direct descendants of the Xie family have been able to connect with their closest relatives, so I have been in Yuanqi for many years and naturally know about this girl's existence."
"So that's why Little Star recognized you as her brother the moment she saw you?"
"Yes!"
Xin Moyan suddenly realized that this telepathy was too amazing!
Baili Juebi turned around, raised his chin to the side, and looked indifferent.
"Come here you two."
"Big brother, who is he?"
Baili Jueyan stretched out his hand and pointed directly at Xie Cangming's forehead. It was the first time he had seen white hair outside of the Baili family, apart from Xiao Xing'er.
"Xie Cangming, Grand Elder of Xuanming Palace."
"Great Elder?"
"Great Elder?"
The two asked in unison, puzzled, "Did my elder brother misspoke, or did they mishear? The Grand Elder of the Xuanming Palace?"
Baili Jueyan hurriedly lowered his hand, "Big brother, hasn't the position of our Gu Cang Grand Elder been vacant for fifteen years?"
"Yes, he is Xing'er's elder brother and the eldest son of the Xie family. Now that he has returned to his homeland, he is worthy to succeed as the Grand Elder of Xuanming Palace."
"So he's Uncle Xie's biological son? His biological son?"
Baili Jueyan almost shouted himself hoarse. He still couldn't quite believe it. After all, no one had ever mentioned that Uncle Xie had a son. Even after all these years, no one had dared to discuss anything about the deceased Supreme of Xuanming Palace.
"Alright, I'll discuss this matter with you in detail later."
Seeing that the situation was gradually stabilizing, Baili Juebi raised an eyebrow and turned to Xin Moling, saying gently, "Ah Ling, you two siblings haven't seen each other for many days. Let's catch up properly first. Tonight, I'll host a banquet to celebrate the return of the Baili royal bloodline."
"No need!" Xin Moling refused outright, her face full of apprehension and wariness, and she reached out to pull her sister a little closer to her side.
“Ah Ling…”
Baili Juebi frowned, feeling helpless at his aloof attitude.
Having clarified the relationship between Xie Cangming and Gu Cang, Xin Moyan came to her senses and hurriedly asked, "Big brother, tell me first, where exactly is Xuan Yuan now?"
He pursed his lips, seemingly unwilling to answer his sister's question directly. "Yan'er, let's talk about this later."
"Wait, wait, wait, how long do we have to wait? Cousin Baili, I thought you were kind-hearted even though you seemed a bit cold. But I never expected you to use underhanded tactics and harm Xuanyuan. Tell us where he is. Now that we've found Yan Yan, we don't want to stay in this palace any longer!"
Hua Buyu stood with her hands on her hips, questioning him aggressively. Now that she had found Yan Yan, she was confident that Baili Juebi would not attack her. She was prepared to fight to the death!
"..."
Baili Juebi suddenly darkened his face, his gray eyes unfathomable, as if trying to pierce her face with his light.
The terrifying sight made Hua Buyu shrink back and quickly hide behind Xin Moling.
"Alright, alright, today is a joyous occasion, let's not be so tense. Little Mo'er, your uncle hasn't seen you in a long time, you have to have a few drinks with your uncle tonight."
Xie Cangming quickly stepped in to smooth things over, explaining that the drinking was just a joke, and the key was to prevent Hua Buyu from causing trouble.
"uncle?"
Xie Xuanji stopped crying and asked in confusion, "Brother, why does Sister Yan call you uncle? Are you very old?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Cangming's lips twitched involuntarily. He then recalled the night he first met Xiao Mo'er a long, long time ago, when she called him "Grandpa"!
"Mo'er is only calling me that out of respect."
"Does Sister Yan have to call me aunt? But Sister Yan is older than me!"
“…Xuanji, let’s each keep our own way. You can still call Mo’er Sister, and Mo’er can still call me Uncle.”
"Okay! I got it!"
Xie Xuanji's unexpected question broke the tense atmosphere, but the brother and sister still refused to give up.
"Uncle Xie, all I want to know right now is where Xuan Yuan is?"
Xin Moyan gripped the hem of her skirt tightly, her knuckles gradually turning white, while her gaze grew increasingly resolute.
"Mo'er, don't worry!"
Seeing her so serious and earnest, Xie Cangming could no longer change the subject.
Xin Moling stepped forward, her face stern, and she no longer addressed him affectionately. "Xie Cangming, tell us his whereabouts, and we will leave immediately."
"No! Ah Ling, you and your brother have finally made it to Gu Cang, I will never let you leave."
“First, you took Yan’er away without permission, causing my brother and I to be separated for months, which is unforgivable. Second, you plotted against Xuan Yuan, leaving my brother-in-law’s fate unknown. I advise you to reveal his whereabouts so that we can find him as soon as possible. Third, I have never acknowledged your Baili family, so you don’t need to pretend to be so brotherly.”
After coldly uttering these words, he pulled Xin Moyan to take another unpleasant step to the side, especially when he heard his sister repeatedly calling Baili Juebi "Big Brother." How long had they been separated? And Yan'er had already accepted them like that…
This made him unhappy, extremely unhappy!
Hua Buyu, enjoying the spectacle, patted her belly and laughed heartily, then patted Xin Moling's shoulder.
"Hahaha~ That really hurts, bro, that really hurts, hahaha~ You're so heartless!"
This abrupt laughter earned him a cold look from Baili Juebi. If it weren't for the fact that this woman was pregnant with his future nephew, he would have definitely kicked Hua Buyu out. He also couldn't understand how A Ling could have taken a liking to this person.
"Big brother, please tell me where Xuanyuan is. I really want to see him. I will only be with Xuanyuan in this life. Whether you agree or not, I have already decided on him. You are my family. I hope to receive your blessings."
Xin Moyan took a deep breath. With her brother and Buyu here, she was not afraid of anything. All she wanted was Xuanyuan. In the past, everyone had always protected her and worked hard for her happiness.
Now, it's her turn to fight for her own happiness...
"...Yan'er".
In an instant, Xin Moling felt his heart breaking. His precious little sister was calling someone else "brother" right in front of him, and she did it so earnestly, hoping to receive the blessings of those few white-haired men.
Back then, when he first saw through Xuan Yuan's intention to arrange a marriage, Yan'er wasn't like this at all. What kind of bewitching potion did they give Yan'er during those two months in Gu Cang?
Equally introverted was a certain aloof emperor, who secretly resented Xie Cangming for bringing Xuan Yuan along this time. Otherwise, A Ling would not have been so resistant to his cousin, and Yan'er would have been the same way. All five siblings could have gotten along well...
