Chapter 534 It turns out to be an old friend
The steward truly had unspeakable grievances, but since the head of the family had made such arrangements, he was merely a person carrying them out.
Upon hearing this, Bi Dilireba was even more unhappy.
"So it was your family head who deliberately arranged this. Was he trying to give my master a hard time?"
The butler, who was about to open the door, trembled and quickly turned around to explain, "Master, that's not what you meant."
Sorelu and the guards were also puzzled. Even if they didn't like him, it was still inappropriate for someone to come to their door like this. It was impolite and would invite gossip.
Number 21, however, spoke up for the manor owner, saying, "Sister, I suspect this manor owner has ulterior motives. Just look at the statue in front of the manor; you'll know he won't neglect your master. Don't worry, we'll go in and see for ourselves."
Bidel stopped arguing. Just then, the castle gates opened, not by the butler, but by someone from inside.
Before the door was fully opened, a voice from inside apologized: "Please calm down, everyone!"
The steward was taken aback. "Master, why do you have to come and open the door yourself? I have failed in my duty, please punish me."
It turned out that the head of the family inside was getting impatient and, hearing the argument outside, came to fetch him in person.
The voice sounded somewhat familiar to everyone, and when the door opened wide enough to see the person's entire body, they suddenly realized who it was.
This patriarch was actually the one who made a bet with someone in the hotel, claiming to have a small statue of Mo Yongye in his home. Combined with that crossroads, everything became clear.
The head of the household said, "Steward, there's no need to blame yourself!"
He first comforted the steward, then said to Mo Yongye and the others with a half-smile and a half-apology, "Inspector, please forgive my rudeness. What I have seen and heard these past few days has deepened my respect for you. Today, when I learned that you were coming to visit the manor, I was so excited that I tried to do this to please you. Who knew that it would cause such a misunderstanding and rudeness? I really did something bad by intentionally doing something wrong."
Having understood the reason, Bidel stopped blaming her and instead joked, "So you were trying to surprise us, but you backfired. It does seem a bit like you were trying to flatter me!"
The head of the family smiled wryly, "Please come into my house, gentlemen, so that I may do my best to entertain you and atone for my sins."
Mo Yongye did not refuse and led everyone into the castle.
There was a row of maids standing inside, and a row of chairs in front of them. A noblewoman stood in the hall. When she saw Mo Yongye and his party enter, she came over slowly with her son and daughter to greet them.
Mo Yongye quickly helped her up, saying, "Madam, there's no need for such formalities. We're just visiting; there's no need for the host to bow to the guest."
The woman still gave a small bow and said, "Thank you for your leniency, sir."
The two children at her knees looked up curiously and exclaimed, "Mommy, is this the Inspector General? He's just like the statue, so handsome!"
Everyone was amused by the child's innocent words.
After everyone took their seats, guards stood watch, and then maids presented a variety of high-end fruits, plump and glossy, with a complete selection. Another group of maids then brewed tea and brought it up, pouring it for everyone.
“My lord, you do not know, but ever since my wife told you your story, my son has been overjoyed. He keeps asking to know your heroic deeds, and he never gets tired of hearing them.”
The head of the family moved on from what had just happened, not mentioning it at all, and started the conversation by talking about his own children.
"It is my honor to be a role model for the child. However, the story is so brief that the child never tires of hearing it. It must be because you, Madam, are very knowledgeable."
Mo Yongye also has children; how could he not understand children's nature?
The lady said, "I dare not claim to be learned; it is simply that the children admire and respect your conduct, which is why they clamor to hear it every day!"
"My master has accomplished many great feats, it's just that this Tournament of Strength involves a wide range of people," Videl said proudly.
"Don't talk nonsense, what great feats could I possibly have accomplished?"
The head of the family said, "We firmly believe what you say, Miss. We only hope that you can tell my wife a little about it so that she can continue the story with these two boys."
“That’s no problem,” Bidel agreed.
The family head continued, "Indeed, I've told the story a bit too many times. These two kids then asked what the adults looked like, which gave me a real headache. I found the Chief of the Guard and listened to her description of the statue's construction, so I just built one based on that!"
"I see, I really have these two little kids to thank for it!"
Mo Yongye looked at the two adorable bunny dolls and liked them more and more.
Mo Yongye then thought of giving the two children some gifts. He exchanged two Dragon Balls and a Dragon Ball Radar from the system shop. These items were very useful for Rabbit Star.
"Since we are so destined, children, come to your Uncle Yongye. I have gifts for you both."
The two little bunnies were seeing Mo Yongye for the first time, and they only dared to look at him curiously from their parents' side.
Upon hearing that Mo Yongye had a gift to give, their eyes widened and their ears involuntarily twitched.
She looked at her father with hopeful eyes; only if he promised would they dare to accept it.
The family head nodded in agreement, and the two little rabbits then walked towards Mo Yongye.
At the same time, he glanced warily at the guards, then looked up at Bados standing behind Mo Yongye.
Only then did she cautiously approach Mo Yongye. "You did a good job, knowing to be wary of strangers. What are your names?"
“My name is Robert, and this is my sister Lori,”
Luo Li pouted, dissatisfied: "I don't want you to introduce me to anyone, and Brother Yongye, you don't look like an uncle at all!"
Everyone was amused by the adorable baby again.
"So what's your name?" Mo Yongye asked again.
The little girl then introduced herself in a childish voice: "My name is Luo Li, and I'm already in elementary school."
"Alright, alright, what do you think of this gift?" Mo Yongye took out the Dragon Ball from the system.
The two children's eyes lit up as they peered closer. "What beautiful beads! There are even stars inside!"
The Rabbit Star people of the Ninth Universe had never seen this object before and did not know what it was for a time.
Only Bidili and the others secretly wondered when Mo Yongye had retrieved this item, and whether it was real or fake.
The two children reached out to touch it, then pulled back. "Big brother, is this a gift for us?"
Mo Yongye nodded, and the two children happily took the papers, examining them closely and turning them over to look at them again.
Luo Li exclaimed happily, "I have two stars, and my brother has one!"
"Thank you, big brother!"
Luo Li happily returned to her parents to show off, and Robert was also very happy. He didn't compare himself to his sister; he was just happy to receive a gift.
The patriarch glanced at the Dragon Ball but couldn't figure it out.
Mo Yongye then revealed the purpose of the Dragon Balls: "These are called Dragon Balls. Collecting all seven will grant your wish."
