"A change?" Hearing Yan’s words, Mo Juren frowned, only then realizing that Han Li hadn't followed along either.
"It's like this, a few days ago, someone came to Mo Mansion with husband's handwritten letter and token, claiming to be husband's Personal Disciple. And he said that husband had met with an accident…"
Yan briefly recounted the whole story. Towards the end, she was already gritting her teeth, clearly furious at the imposter's deceptive words.
"So it was him…" Mo Juren instantly understood, thinking of a certain person. He had thought that returning a year early could avoid this matter, but it still happened.
"Currently, husband's Disciple has already subdued the person, waiting for husband to return and deal with him." Yan was referring to Han Li; with his strength, controlling a Mortal was effortless.
"Let's go, I want to see how many eyes this imposter Disciple truly has." Mo Juren smiled, then took his wife and daughters to Mo Mansion, while instructing others to carry away the gold, silver, and jewels from the ship. The Surprise Dragon Association was somewhat in decline at the moment and in need of money.
...
As the group left the dock, the surroundings immediately became lively, with people whispering and discussing. The disappearance of Mo Juren, the Association Master of the Surprise Dragon Association, for many years was no longer a secret in Jiayuan City; almost everyone knew about it.
There were all sorts of rumors: injured, in seclusion, dead, and so on. But no one expected him to return safely, and he looked to be in excellent condition, showing no signs of injury.
As one of the three major Gangs in Jiayuan City, its every move affected countless people. Not to mention anything else, the strongest Heavenly Tyrant Gate and the second-ranked Brotherhood Alliance would certainly not sit still.
Some experienced elders could already foresee that Jiayuan City would certainly not be peaceful in the future, and it would probably be another bloody storm.
The news of the Surprise Dragon Association Association Master Mo Juren's return spread like wildfire, reaching the entire Jiayuan City in less than half a day. Heavenly Tyrant Gate, Brotherhood Alliance, Iron Spear Association, Green Robe Society, and countless other Gangs were all alarmed.
Not just Jiayuan City, but also Solitary Tyrant Manor and Five Colors Gate, among the three major Schools in Lan Province, were no exception; they also quickly received the news. Unlike other Gangs, these two Gangs and the Surprise Dragon Association had been Mortal enemies for many years, with their life-and-death struggles never ceasing. Even Mo Juren's ambush by a trusted subordinate back then was inseparable from these two Schools.
At this moment, in Solitary Tyrant Manor, Manor Master Ouyang Feitian's brows furrowed after listening to his subordinate's report. Mo Juren had actually returned, and his injuries were fully recovered.
In that case, the people he sent would be in danger. Should he go to rescue them? Mo Juren was not to be trifled with; as a Mortal enemy, no one understood his difficulty better than him. Going would not guarantee success, but it would definitely result in huge losses, which was unwise and inconsistent with the School's interests.
But if he didn't go to rescue, Little Seven would certainly be in grave danger. As one of his most beloved Disciples, he simply couldn't stand by and watch him die like that.
What should he do? For a time, Ouyang Feitian fell into a struggle…
...
Unlike the outside, Mo Mansion at this time presented a different scene.
Mo Juren was like a pillar of strength; his return gave everyone confidence. Not only his wife and daughters, but even the servants unconsciously straightened their backs.
Of course, the happiest were his wife and daughters. In the living room, there was a round of crying and complaints, each vying to vent the years of suppression and longing in their hearts.
Mo Juren sighed inwardly. If he hadn't crossed over, the original body would never have had a day of return. Upon closer thought, he indeed owed his wife and daughters a great deal.
He could clearly feel the occasional throbbing in his Soul. That was definitely the original owner's obsession being touched and completely erupting, affecting even him.

In fact, this was a good thing. If the obsession erupted now, he could slowly sort it out, and it would eventually dissipate. If it had remained hidden, and then struck at a critical moment in his cultivation, that would have been truly fatal.
Fortunately, this ticking time bomb finally exploded early, eliminating all future troubles.
"Don't worry, I will take good care of your wife and daughters and never let them suffer any grievances." He thought silently to himself, and immediately felt his mind relax, as if a layer of hazy shadow had been removed, suddenly becoming clear and refreshed.
After venting for a while, the women finally recovered and then began to inquire about his situation over the years, asking why it took him so long to return. During the questioning, their concern was evident.
Mo Juren couldn't help but sigh. Although the original body had five wives, in terms of affection, each of them was genuinely devoted to him. The original body's outstanding ability was one aspect, and another was his appearance. This face was simply too unfair; it was hard for any woman not to be attracted.
He didn't hesitate, telling everything he could, and slightly altering what he couldn't. These things had already been thought out on the way back, and there were no flaws.
As for the matter of cultivation, it was not yet time to reveal it. He had his own plans, and it would not be too late to discuss it later.
After listening, the ladies and daughters were amazed and couldn't help but show heartache. It turned out that husband had suffered so much, no wonder he couldn't return.
Having not seen each other for many years, everyone had too many words accumulated in their hearts that they wanted to pour out. They talked from noon until evening, still without stopping. During this time, the three daughters all tacitly left quietly.
It wasn't until dinner was ready in the evening that someone came to remind them.
During the meal, Mo Juren introduced Han Li to everyone, immediately drawing countless warm greetings. This scene made the other party, who had never experienced such a thing, suddenly feel a bit awkward, especially when he saw his three peerless Senior Sisters and Junior Sisters smiling charmingly on either side of him, he couldn't help but show a hint of shyness.
After dinner,
Mo Juren went alone to the dungeon and saw Wu Jianming, Ouyang Feitian's seventh Disciple from Solitary Tyrant Manor, who was imprisoned there.
It has to be said, this old fellow truly went all out. To deal with the Surprise Dragon Association, he sent his most beloved Personal Disciple to be an undercover agent. This kind of courage was indeed ruthless.
One must know that the profession of an undercover agent has always been accompanied by danger; losing one's life by accident is common. For example, Wu Jianming, his identity and background had long been investigated, but he hadn't been eliminated due to certain considerations.
"Mo Juren, it's actually you!" The moment he saw Mo Juren, Wu Jianming knew in his heart that he was in grave danger. He wasn't afraid of death, but he felt guilty for failing to complete his master's mission. With a resolve to die already formed in his heart, he no longer had any scruples and immediately began to curse,
"You won't get any information from me. I'm not afraid of death; if you have the guts, kill me."
"It seems you truly don't want to live. Ouyang Feitian having a Disciple like you is not in vain." Mo Juren sneered, then sized up the other party for a moment, a strange look suddenly flashing in his dark eyes as he murmured,
"Not bad, very good."
"Mo, what do you mean?"
Mo Juren did not answer again, only kept looking at the other party, his expression as if he was looking at a precious item. This strange gaze immediately made Wu Jianming feel a chilling sensation.
