Hearing this, Father Tan became even more furious. “I think you’ve become delusional from idolizing her!”

His son had been quite obedient when he was younger. Ever since he signed up for a confidential mission at sixteen, he had grown increasingly fond of defying his orders.

He repeatedly challenged his father’s authority, becoming utterly unruly!

Xi Jiang put away his phone and frowned. “I’ll stay with Feng San for a while. I’ll come back to see you another day.”

Father Tan was livid. “If you dare step out of this house today, don’t bother coming back!”

Xi Jiang paused momentarily but didn’t stop, leaving without looking back.

“Clang!”

Father Tan grabbed a glass from the table and hurled it at the door, shattering it to pieces.

Mother Tan came out from the kitchen upon hearing the commotion. “Why are you speaking to the child like that? What’s the rush?”

“How can I not be in a rush?” Father Tan’s chest heaved with anger. “He’s almost twenty-four, yet he’s not settled down. He rarely comes home, and when he does, he doesn’t listen to us!”

Mother Tan sighed. “Our children have their own fortunes. What’s the use of controlling so much?”

“You ignorant woman!” Father Tan was furious. “I rely on him for my old age. If he’s not successful, how can I not care? I’m doing this for his own good, and you’re just spoiling him!”

“Look at him. The ultimate assessment is next month. If he fails, he’ll be abolished. Do you understand?”

Mother Tan fell silent.

This was indeed true, considering they weren’t of the Mo family lineage.

Non-direct descendants of the Mo family faced a major assessment at the age of twenty-four, with only the top 10% allowed to remain in the family.

The bottom 20% would be stripped of their martial arts skills and hidden weapons.

But the Mo family wasn’t as cruel as the evolved being families. Even if stripped of their skills, their health wouldn’t be affected.

However, this would mean becoming an ordinary person.

Father Tan was extremely anxious.

They were not members of the main Mo family. Only by becoming core disciples could they access more resources.

But Xi Jiang wasn’t progressing.

Despite the long duration, he hadn’t advanced and was on a secret mission that seemed to provide no benefit.

If he failed the assessment, they might not even be able to stay in the Mo family.

“We can’t let him be so willful,” Father Tan said coldly, standing up. “Miss Chuyi is starting a class. I’ll find a way to get him a spot and make him attend.”

Only by building good relationships with the main Mo family members could Xi Jiang have a future.

Father Tan hurriedly prepared and went to make arrangements.

Meanwhile, Xi Jiang borrowed a bed from Feng San.

Feng San was curious. “Why are you here? Don’t you have parents?”

Mo family disciples fell into three categories.

One was the direct Mo family members, another was non-Mo family members like Xi Jiang, who had lived with the family since childhood.

The third category included orphans like Feng San, raised by the Mo family.

“Because of the nature of my mission, I can’t disclose anything without the family head’s permission. My dad thinks I’m doing nothing,” Xi Jiang shrugged. “I don’t want to argue with them, so I’m staying here to avoid it.”

Feng San nodded. “I see.”

“I think my life is pretty good,” Xi Jiang said nonchalantly. “I recently learned a few moves from Miss Si, which improved my combat skills significantly.”

Hearing this, Feng San restrained his urge to kill and said, “I would like to ask you to get out.”

Secretly learning behind his back again—next time, he would definitely surpass this scoundrel!

The next day.

Si Fuqing boarded Yu Xiheng’s private jet with her luggage.

Yuejian, being perceptive, left with the program crew.

Just as Si Fuqing placed her luggage down, she saw a familiar face. “…”

Oh no.

Why was her boss with Zero’s Captain?

Si Fuqing narrowed her eyes slightly.

“This is Mr. Huo,” Yu Xiheng introduced. “He’s heading to the Great Xia Empire for some business and will be protecting us.”

Huo Yanhang: “…”

Alright, he was indeed responsible for their protection.

Given this man’s value, it made sense.

At the first glance Si Fuqing exchanged with Huo Yanhang, she knew he had recognized her.

Misjudged.

Her boss’s license plate was too conspicuous.

Her disguise was in vain.

“Nice to meet you, Miss Si,” Huo Yanhang stood up, not exposing her directly. “If you ever face any personal safety issues, feel free to call us. We’ll respond at any time.”

Si Fuqing nodded and decisively sat next to Yu Xiheng, using his tall figure to shield herself.

She had a feeling that this Huo guy didn’t get along with her third senior sister.
