1245 Does Not Need His Recognition

Mo Lian's thin lips were pulled tightly into a line, his expression incomparably cold and harsh.

The fat elder commented with a shake of his head, "Although that little lady is indeed gifted, just this is far from enough."

"Your Highness's status is so honorable. Even the noble daughters with exceptional root constitutions from the six great patrician families of the Divine Province cannot match you. Let alone a humble girl from the Lower Star Domain. You are playing with fire here, Your Highness. Even if you marry her in the Lower Star Domain now, the emperor of the Divine Province will not acknowledge this marriage. Perhaps, he might even implicate the little lady in his wrath…"

Hearing this, Mo Lian's icy gaze settled on the fat elder. "If that person dares to touch my Qiaoqiao and harm a single hair on my Qiaoqiao's body, I'll overturn his entire Divine Province! Humph! What can a tiny lousy Divine Province amount to! If my Qiaoqiao likes it, I'll naturally present it to her on a platter."

The fat elder was gobsmacked for a moment, after which he shook his finger at Mo Lian with an exasperated sigh. "You really are exactly the same as your dad back then. No one would believe that the two of you aren't father and son!

"Fine, fine, this old man will not say anymore. In any case, just keep your situation in mind. Once you finish handling your matters, quickly return to the Divine Province. It is no joking matter should Heavenly Law catch on to you."

"You were staying in the Lower Star Domain because the seal was suppressing the divine-realm aura in your body in the past. Things are not the same now, child…"

"Third Uncle, I know."

"Okay, okay, okay, don't blame Third Uncle for nagging. I have already seen your foster father and also brought this up with him." The fat elder started fuming when he recalled the meeting. "You didn't see his constipated expression at that time. It was like I was going to snatch his son! He even staggered backwards like he was about to stop breathing."

Was it that excessive? This king of the branch family in the Lower Star Domain drew people's ire too easily!

They had entrusted him to take care of the young master, yet he dared to seize the emperor's son once the 21 years were up? Such a baffling person.

Mo Lian looked at the fat elder sternly. "You've seen Grandmother and Mother."

"I haven't." The fat elder cast him a glance. "I just went to see your foster father! Sigh, you take care of this matter. You have to leave sooner or later!"

"Your Highness, our House of Elders from the Divine Province has come to visit you every year since you were three by travelling through special passageways. You should have long been aware that you have to leave the Lower Star Domain sooner or later."

Yet Mo Lian merely frowned and did not speak.

"The emperor has not had it easy these years. Ever since your mother fell into a deep slumber, His Imperial Majesty has been under great pressure."

"Hasn't Wushuang said that he's about to marry a new madam? Isn't that woman about to move into Morning Sunlight Palace?"

"Don't listen to that darn lass Wushuang's nonsense." The fat elder snorted as his beard wagged. "His Imperial Majesty's feelings for your mother have never changed in these 20 years."

"Humph."

"Sigh! Don't you not believe it, child." The fat elder quickly said, "When you return, you know."

The fat elder patted Mo Lian's hand. "As for the little lady…"

"It's none of his business!" Mo Lian barked, "He can't even take care of his own wife, yet he dares to take charge of me?"

The fat elder felt that if the emperor were present, he might want to strangle this son of his to death.

"Fine, fine, fine." The fat elder simply backed down in resignation. "This old man will stay be staying here for a period of time, so if there is anything just come find me at the recreational residence."
