Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 1001 1001: Secret Revealed

The Mo Family elders looked at Mo Wuji in shock, how could it sound like the Family Head seemed very supportive of Qin Yi's actions.
Mo Wuji said indifferently, "Elders, you need not worry. I swear on my life, the Mo Family will be fine, and so will you. Just don't provoke Qin Yi on your own. Should anyone act without permission, don't blame me if I can't protect you."
These people were all old cunning foxes who had lived for over a hundred years, hearing something different hidden in Mo Wuji's words. Recalling what Lei Zhennan had said before, some of them began to have various thoughts.
"Family Head, I have a matter to consult about," Mo Fushui stood up and said.
Mo Wuji smiled and said, "Please, go ahead."
"I very much want to know how the Family Head plans to protect the Mo Family's safety? This matter is no small thing; a careless mistake could lead to a calamity of extermination. Please enlighten us so that we may rest assured."
Mo Wuji looked at Mo Fushui, his lips slightly curving up; he knew Mo Fushui had already perceived something.
"Elders, I asked you just now, if Qin Yi truly comes to kill, would you fight or surrender? You replied that Qin Yi wouldn't give you a chance to surrender. Now I ask again, if Qin Yi comes, do you intend to be his enemy or ally?"
The crowd was somewhat dumbfounded, wasn't it the same thing?
"Family Head, don't joke like that. How could Qin Yi possibly befriend us?" said an elder.
Mo Wuji smiled and said, "There's nothing difficult in the world if you put your heart to it. Qin Yi is also human, with emotions and desires, and not a demon who kills without blinking. If we befriend him, it spares us a slaughter, what's not to like?"
"Family Head, what I mean is, Qin Yi won't befriend us."
Mo Wuji said, "If he won't befriend us, then there's only slaughter. May I ask, what odds do we have?"
The expression on everyone's faces was somewhat stiff.
The Su Family, the Lei Family, and others, these Hidden Family powers were no less than the Mo Family, but all were wiped out by Qin Yi. Thus, the odds against Qin Yi for the Mo Family are less than one-tenth.
Mo Wuji smiled and said, "Let me answer for you, if we go against Qin Yi, our chances of winning are less than one-tenth, nearly zero. But if we ally, Qin Yi will not destroy a single blade of the Mo Family's grass."
Everyone looked intently at Mo Wuji, Mo Tianheng said, "Family Head, what exactly do you mean?"
"Is my meaning not clear enough? We are to befriend Qin Yi."
"But…"
Mo Wuji waved his hand, interrupting Mo Tianheng's words, and said, "I know you want to say Qin Yi won't befriend us. But I can assure you, he will. Because we are already friends."
All the Mo Family elders' faces changed dramatically, looking at Mo Wuji in shock.
Mo Fushui incredulously said, "Family Head, could it be that what Lei Zhennan said is all true?"
Mo Wuji surveyed the crowd and said indifferently, "I want to know, if I admit it, what would you do to me?"
The crowd fell silent.
Indeed! Even if it was true, how could they respond?
Kill Mo Wuji? Or expel him from the Mo Family? No matter the result, the Mo Family would be doomed.
Mo Wuji said indifferently, "Alright, I admit, everything Lei Zhennan said is true. Before entering the Secret Realm, I became friends with Qin Yi. Also, it wasn't Ankang who entered the Secret Realm with me, but Qin Yi posing as him.
We joined forces and killed everyone from the Lei Family, the Nan Family, and the Fang Family. Including Mo Tianhao."
The crowd was full of shock.
"No need to be so shocked, I only did it for self-preservation. Before Mo Tianhao entered the Secret Realm, the old Family Head specifically instructed that I must be removed. If one kills, one will be killed. He wanted to kill me, should I have offered my neck for him to cut?"
The elders were stunned by Mo Wuji's words, their heads buzzing, unable to recover for a long time.
"Not only that, do you know why Baihua Pavilion didn't participate in killing Qin Yi? It's because Bai Jingqing is also a friend of Qin Yi."
All the elders were shocked beyond belief, looking despondent like fools.
Mo Wuji looked at everyone and said coldly, "If you think I did wrong, you can completely go to the Founder and let him strip me of the Family Head title. Honestly, everything I've done was to ensure my parents could be buried together. Now that my wish is fulfilled, there's nothing about the Mo Family left for me to linger."
The crowd was utterly stunned by Mo Wuji's words, unable to recover for a long time.
Mo Tianheng said in disbelief, "Family Head, do you know what you're saying? Slaughtering fellow members is taboo. Moreover, Qin Yi killed the old Family Head."
"I know about this, there was no Blood Red Dragon Spirit at all; it was all Qin Yi's scheme, aimed at killing Mo Honghai.
I don't want to delve into my status and experiences in the Mo Family. But I don't believe you aren't aware of Mo Honghai's determination to kill me, his sole ambition was to support someone from his own line to be the Family Head. If I hadn't taken action, then the one dead would be me.
So, I am making it very clear to everyone, I do not regret anything I have done. Moreover, I am very grateful to have befriended Brother Qin."
All the elders were dumbfounded, the words Mo Wuji spoke were too shocking.
Mo Fushui gazed at Mo Wuji, his expression complex, "Family Head, do you realize that according to the Mo Family's ancestral precepts, what you say is enough to condemn you to death with no place for burial?"
Mo Wuji lightly smiled and said, "I know the Mo Family rules better than anyone. After all, growing up, I've experienced every punishment faced for each family rule."
Back then, when Mo Tianhao and others bullied Mo Wuji, they would resort to the family rules.
Mo Wuji sneered, "I used to think the Mo Family's rules were made only for me. So, you can't know how deeply I loathe these rigid and harsh rules."
"How dare you! Even as the Family Head, you must not criticize the ancestral rules!" an elder shouted angrily.
Mo Wuji gazed at him mockingly, "Well said! Now that the Mo Family is facing a major crisis, one misstep could lead to extermination. Please, take the rules and use them to eliminate the danger, or call upon the ancestors who made them to protect you."
That elder's face turned crimson red, embarrassed and infuriated.
"Do you know why the Hidden Families encounter calamities? It's because of these rigid and harsh dictates, this laughable talk of noble blood, which made you self-aggrandizing, looking down on the common folk, viewing all as insignificant. But when Qin Yi comes to kill, your so-called nobility and bloodlines become a joke.
Who is Qin Yi, coming from the streets, with no noble bloodline, no noble birth. Yet he can crush your so-called nobility into pieces, trample it underfoot, into the mud.
You guess, when Qin Yi's Big Halberd is poised on those nobles' necks, did they lower their noble heads to beg for mercy, or did they raise their noble heads to seek death?"
