I'm not sure if the old man noticed this hidden brilliance, but he merely shook his head and sighed after.
Xiao Qiang shook his head and said, "No need to thank me yet. The illness afflicting this elderly man is severe. I will need to administer at least three sessions of acupuncture to fully ensure his survival."
As Mo Gong prepared to say something, the old man spoke in a somber tone, "Mo Gong, I brought you out of the Mo Family to help you gain strength in the mortal world. What have you been doing all these days? You can return to the Mo family now."
Mo Gong looked surprised and then alarmed, "Uncle, do you need protection?"
The elderly man shook his head, "No need."
As Mo Gong was about to say something else, the old man slowly sat up from the bed and said sternly, "Don't forget what you promised me."
Mo Gong's facial expressions fluctuated for a moment. Then, after what felt like ages, he finally exhaled, "If that's the case, I'll take my leave."
