Chapter 123: Mo Xiaoyou Learning the Classic of Filial Piety

The Instance was finally over!

Mo Xiaobai was not surprised that the Intellect Brain announcement appeared at this moment. After a slight pause, he continued toward the camp where Liu Ye was located.

Arriving outside Liu Ye’s large tent, Mo Xiaobai quickly scanned the area and saw at least 50 to 60 players. More than 80 percent of them had worked together on the guard mission.

“Look, the Daydream Great God is coming.”

“No way? Is the Great God here to snatch another player?”

“The Great God is here. Is there any hope for us?”

“Liu Ye refuses to see us, and we cannot use force against him since we are on the same side. It looks like he is specifically waiting for the Great God.”

“Is it still too late for me to acknowledge the Great God as my Big Brother? I won’t ask for Liu Ye anymore. I just hope that next time there is an Instance, the Great God can take us on some missions.”

“Sigh, we can only watch the Great God bring Liu Ye under his command.”

This big crowd of players was not made of fools. Seeing Mo Xiaobai saunter over, they knew exactly what he was here to do. One by one, they complained with gloomy frustration.

They had arrived before the Daydream Great God!

Yet Liu Ye refused to see them!

“Brother Ziyang, it has been several days since we last met. I trust you are well?”

Mo Xiaobai ignored how others were looking at him. He laughed heartily, lifted the tent flap, and saw that Liu Ye inside had already packed his belongings. Liu Ye walked slowly toward Mo Xiaobai:

“If you are not disgusted, I, Ye, am willing to leave this place with the Baron.”

“Haha~ Since Ziyang comes to join me, how could I not be happy?” Mo Xiaobai’s joy was written all over his face since he could take Liu Ye away without lifting a finger.

“Huainan Liu Ye, I pay my respects to my Lord.”

Mo Xiaobai was happy, and Liu Ye was also in a good mood after bowing again.

Although he was a member of the Great Han royal family, it was said that he only held the title of a royal relative. The Liu Xun he had previously assisted was a greedy and selfish villain. Later, he surrendered to Cao Cao. Although the Minister of Works was a talented leader with a vast mind and extensive learning, he was naturally at odds with the royal family. He could not gain a single bit of trust in the Cao Camp.

Until Mo Xiaobai appeared and the two of them went to Guandu together, Liu Ye finally made his decision.

Abandon the Minister of Works, and join Mo Xiaobai.

…

Wei Commandery, Yuancheng.

When Mo Xiaobai returned to this inconspicuous small County City, he had many new faces behind him compared to when he left.

Li Guang, Zhang He, Gao Lan, Guo Jia, and Liu Ye stood in a line on his left and right. At this moment, Mo Xiaobai finally felt he had the air of a true Great Lord.

Stepping into the County Government Office, Mo Xiaobai saw Guo Yuan playing chess with his teacher, Zheng Xuan, in the courtyard.

Zheng Xuan held the white stones, and the game board showed that he was killing Guo Yuan, making him drop his helmet and armor.

“A junior here, paying respects to Duke Kangcheng.”

Although he had met the old man before, this greeting marked the formal meeting between Mo Xiaobai and Zheng Xuan.

Zheng Xuan laughed and put down his stone. He glanced at Mo Xiaobai and the group behind him one by one, nodded, and said: “Zini told me long ago that the Baron was no ordinary person. To pull out these great talents in both civil and military fields from the hands of Cao Mengde proves that what my disciple said is true.”

“This old man is getting very old. Even if I die, I have few regrets. It is just that my disciple is so filial. He insists that I go with the Baron. I had to agree even if I didn’t want to.”

Zheng Xuan made his move, then slowly stood up. Guo Yuan rushed over to support him and gave Mo Xiaobai a grateful look.

Guo Yuan had reason to thank Mo Xiaobai, and actually, Mo Xiaobai also wanted to thank Guo Yuan.

Without a disciple like Guo Yuan, how could he have had the chance to take Zheng Xuan away?

After looking at each other, both men smiled.

“My Lord, will Duke Kangcheng also go with us?”

Those who were not scholars from the End of Han would find it hard to imagine how much influence Zheng Xuan truly held during this period. Standing in front of Zheng Xuan, even Guo Fengxiao, who was used to being wild and unrestrained, unconsciously reined himself in significantly.

This was a great sage of the world. In some aspects, even he, Guo Fengxiao, could not compare.

“Duke Kangcheng has not yet recovered from his serious illness, so of course he must go back with us,” Mo Xiaobai said with a smile, then looked at Liu Ye again: “Ziyang, why are you not speaking?”

“In front of Duke Kangcheng, how would Ye dare to make noise?” Liu Ye really wanted to speak, but since this was his first time seeing the living Zheng Xuan, he did not even know what he was supposed to say.

“Hmph~ The old man is not a demon or monster. Why are you all so afraid?”

Zheng Xuan was amused by Liu Ye. He turned sideways and smiled: “I know you are a descendant of the royal family, but the dirty tricks from the Partisan Prohibitions in the past, I have long forgotten them. You do not need to be so serious. You do not need to be so serious. The Baron please wait a moment. I will let Zini go pack our belongings, and we can leave shortly.”

Hearing this, Guo Yuan naturally went to pack their things. However, he came back in less than one or two minutes.

Zheng Xuan did not have many things, just a small cloth bag and a bamboo box.

Seeing that Zheng Xuan packed so little, Mo Xiaobai’s eyebrows moved: “Does Duke Kangcheng still need to return to Qing Province? The classics, histories, and other writings you usually study can be taken by this junior along with us.”

“What? Is taking this old man’s thoughts not enough, and now you want my room full of scrolls?”

Zheng Xuan saw through Mo Xiaobai’s little tricks almost at a glance and laughed: “I knew when I came that my time was running out. The classic texts I revised and annotated in the past have already been given to the Kong family. If you want to ask for them, you can go to the Kong residence yourself.”

The Kong residence?

Hearing this, Mo Xiaobai could only laugh awkwardly.

Give him ten guts, and he still wouldn’t dare to storm the Kong residence now.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that only Kong Rong from the Kong family was famous at the End of Han. The Kong family on the land of Qi and Lu was absolutely not something early-game Players could mess with.

Inside, there was a bigger BOSS than Cao Cao!

Since Zheng Xuan’s books had entered the Kong family, what else could Mo Xiaobai say?

If you cannot beat them, you can hide from them!

After dismissing the idea of going to the Kong family, Mo Xiaobai quickly led the group to use the Transmission Array to travel directly from one province to Pinggao County in Henei Commandery.

Arriving at Pinggao County, Mo Xiaobai naturally wanted to take his mother and sister away.

Leading the group toward the Zhang Family, Mo Xiaobai originally wanted to see if his sister was still playing at the Zhang Residence. However, as soon as he got close, he heard the familiar sound of reading:

“Use the way of Heaven, divide the benefits of the land, be cautious in your conduct and frugal in your spending to support your parents. This is the filial piety of the common people…”

The content was very familiar to Mo Xiaobai.

Or rather, any Player in the Great Han Dynasty would become very familiar with it after staying in the Great Han Dynasty for a year or two.

This is because it is the foundation for selecting officials in the Han Dynasty:

The Classic of Filial Piety!

Little Dot was actually reciting the Classic of Filial Piety?

Mo Xiaobai’s expression was a bit strange. This Little Girl, who was usually untamed at home and only occasionally reined in by his mother, was now reading the Classic of Filial Piety?

Who was teaching her to read so properly?

Several question marks floated in Mo Xiaobai’s mind. He quieted his footsteps and slowly pushed open the gate to the Zhang Residence.

Pushing the door open, he saw two Loli of about the same age sitting by a low table.

If it wasn’t Mo Xiaoyou and Zhang Chunhua, who could it be?

And by a stone table less than ten meters away from the two of them, a middle-aged Scholar was bowing his head and writing something.

Who was that guy?

Mo Xiaobai took a quick glance at him and had no impression at all.

When he saw the scholar’s attire, he thought it looked vaguely familiar.

But none of this mattered. The important thing was that both Little Girls saw him walk in but did not stop. They continued reciting the Classic of Filial Piety in front of them.

“This is getting a bit interesting.”

Mo Xiaobai clicked his tongue twice. He was about to go up and greet his sister, but he saw his mother standing in the front hall waving at him.

Mo Xiaobai could not make sense of the situation, so he immediately walked toward the front hall. As soon as he entered, his mother’s quiet voice came to his ear: “Xiaobai, do you still have any money left? I hired a private tutor for your sister. The tuition is quite expensive.”
