Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 978 978: Getting Something for Nothing

Mo Wuji's eyes narrowed slightly. Destroy them completely? This Lei Bai is quite ruthless.
However, having ambitions mismatched with actual power is just wishful thinking.
At this moment, Nan Haoyuan said, "Young Master Mo, our Nan Family's ancestor and the Lei Family's ancestor have already agreed to take action. Added to the Mo Family and Baihua Pavilion, eliminating Qin Yi is easy."
Mo Fushui pondered for a moment and said, "Young Master, I think this plan is feasible. Qin Yi doesn't yet have the power to kill us all. If we join forces, he is bound to die. If we don't, he might defeat us one by one.
The Su Family and the Fang Family were wiped out by Qin Yi because they fought alone.
Qin Yi has no experts at his side except himself and the four Guardian Gods. As long as our families' ancestors take action, killing him will be effortless."
The elders of the Mo Family nodded slightly, all feeling this could be done.
Mo Wuji was secretly anxious. If the families' ancestors really took action simultaneously, even with Qin Yi's high cultivation, he likely wouldn't hold up.
His mind was racing; he absolutely couldn't let this plan succeed, at least not with the Mo Family involved.
Mo Wuji looked at Lei Bai and Nan Haoyuan and smiled, "Gentlemen, though I am young, I know Qin Yi is not as easy to deal with as you say. If he were that easy to kill, would the Su and Fang Families have been exterminated?
Moreover, forgive my rudeness, but can you both really represent your families? Did your ancestors truly agree to take action?
Most importantly, has Baihua Pavilion agreed to join you?"
Mo Wuji's barrage of questions made Lei Bai and Nan Haoyuan uncomfortable.
The Nan and Lei Families are in chaos now, and their ancestors never agreed to act. They came to the Mo Family hoping to secure their alliance first, using it as leverage to persuade their ancestors later.
"Gentlemen, if your families' ancestors clearly agreed to act, and Baihua Pavilion agreed to join forces, my Mo Family wouldn't hesitate. But if none of these are true, are you trying to deceive a young person, thinking my Mo Family is easily fooled?"
Mo Wuji's expression was indifferent, his tone soft, yet it carried an oppressive aura.
Lei Bai and Nan Haoyuan hadn't expected Mo Wuji to be so difficult, thinking a young person would agree easily when urged.
Mo Fushui frowned slightly, "Gentlemen, how will you answer our young master's questions?"
Lei Bai and Nan Haoyuan's faces were filled with embarrassment.
Lei Bai laughed awkwardly, "Well, we haven't had the chance to visit Baihua Pavilion yet. I was thinking of seeking Mo's family opinion first, then going to Baihua Pavilion. Once I return, convincing our ancestors shouldn't be hard."
"Lei's thinking aligns with mine." Nan Haoyuan laughed awkwardly.
Mo Wuji chuckled mockingly, his expression full of teasing.
This made Lei Bai and Nan Haoyuan even more embarrassed, their laughter harder than crying.
Mo Wuji said with an indifferent expression, "I understand your meaning. You want to persuade my Mo Family first, then use this as capital to persuade Baihua Pavilion, and then invite your ancestors. Clever strategy indeed."
"Please don't misunderstand, Young Master Mo. I'm truly considering the four great families. Now that the Fang Family has been exterminated by Qin Yi, no one knows who's next. Joining forces to kill Qin Yi is the best and most effective approach." Lei Bai hurriedly said.
"Elder Lei, whether it's for the four great families or yourselves, we both know it well. Although I'm inexperienced, I have some ability to discern."
Nan Haoyuan hurriedly said, "Young Master Mo, the heads of our families all died at Qin Yi's hands. Do you not plan to avenge the Mo Family Head, or did you never intend to avenge him?"
Mo Wuji's face darkened instantly, coldly staring at Nan Haoyuan.
"Elder Nan, what do you mean? I know there are rumors of discord between me and the Mo Family Head, trying to sow discord between me and the elders? But you've all forgotten, I too am a Mo. I must be responsible for the entire Mo Family. I will avenge the family head, but I won't be used.
They say people grow wise with age, and both of you have weathered many storms. If we're talking about martial experience, I'm naturally not as good. However, such small tricks are useless here.
If you're really seeking an alliance with the Mo Family, it's not impossible. As long as your families' ancestors clearly express their intention to act, and Baihua Pavilion agrees, the Mo Family will not back down."
The faces of Mo Fushui and others also looked unpleasant.
These two came with nothing but empty words, trying to use the Mo Family. With no capital, they dared to propose cooperation? What a widow's dream. They even brought up the deceased Mo Family Head, trying to stir problems between them and the young master, with malicious intent.
Mo Wuji said calmly, "Gentlemen, I stated the conditions clearly. If Baihua Pavilion agrees to join forces, and your ancestors clearly express their intent to act, the Mo Family won't hesitate. Now, it's late. We won't keep you, you may leave."
Lei Bai and Nan Haoyuan opened their mouths, wanting to say something more? Ultimately, they didn't speak. Their purpose had been exposed, staying would only bring more shame.
The two looked at Mo Wuji, feeling bitter. They hadn't expected Mo Wuji to be so cunning.
But, this was the Mo Family. Though issued with an eviction order, they dared not show any dissatisfaction.
"Young Master Mo, esteemed elders, I, Lei, bid farewell."
"I, Nan, will now go to persuade Baihua Pavilion and work hard to meet Young Master Mo's conditions."
The two left.
Mo Wuji absent-mindedly tapped the armrest of the throne, his eyes on the elders' reactions below.
"If the Lei and Nan Families' ancestors confirmed their actions and Baihua Pavilion agreed to join, it would indeed be an opportunity to kill Qin Yi. Unfortunately, the Lei and Nan Families are now in chaos, everyone eyeing the Family Head's position, fighting individually.
Such a disunited group, concerned only with whether they can become Family Head and their own interests, is nowhere near sincerely wanting to join forces to kill Qin Yi. Even if we act, such a rabble, it's as far-fetched as a wish to kill Qin Yi."
The elders looked at Mo Wuji with relief, though young, he was thoughtful, comprehensive in thought. The Mo Family was truly fortunate to have a genius like Mo Wuji.
"Young Master, to speak truthfully, although these two have their own intentions, the matter of joining forces to kill Qin Yi is still feasible. Now, among our four great families, none alone has the ability to kill Qin Yi. Only by joining forces do we stand a chance."
Mo Fushui pondered for a moment and said.
Mo Wuji's heart skipped, seeing that this suggestion had indeed moved many to consider joining forces to kill Qin Yi.
He smiled calmly and said, "The plan is good! Unfortunately, given the current state of the Lei and Nan Families, it's difficult to achieve. They're only focused on their own interests; how can they truly contribute?
Honorable elders, let's put this matter on hold for now. With the Family Head's recent passing, there's unrest among disciples, and we have much to do. As for the Lei and Nan Families, let them make their own mess."
