He quickly bowed and saluted the general. When he discovered that there were two five-star cultivators following General Shao, he lowered his head even more. He was afraid that he had done something wrong and angered the other party.

Unexpectedly, General Shao Yuan would not even open his eyes to look at him. He actually walked straight toward Wu Mo.

That gave the old village chief a great shock. Had that kid from the Wu family committed some crime?

Right then, the many villagers who had gathered together on the open ground were also staring at each other with their eyes wide open. One by one, they retreated a little.

“May I ask if you are Mayor Zhao’s friend, Mr. Wu?”

General Shao Yuan went up to Wu Mo and spoke with a respectful expression.

The village chief secretly turned his head to observe. When he saw that General Shao Yuan was being so respectful toward Wu Mo, his eyes were on stalks. His expression was one of disbelief.

“I am.”

Wu Mo turned around, glanced at the badge on the man’s shoulder, and answered in a tone that was neither servile nor overbearing.

On the morning train, the mayor had told Wu Mo that he would arrange for people to bring Wu Mo’s family to Shanglin City and that he would help them settle properly.

Therefore, Wu Mo had known about this from earlier on, and he was not surprised at all.

“In the future, I’ll have to trouble you to take care of my family!”

Shao Yuan waved his hand and said with a smile, “Mr. Wu, there’s no need to be so polite. The mayor has instructed it, so we will definitely take good care of your family.”

He spoke in a humble tone, without any airs of a general at all.

After all, Mr. Wu was a talent that the mayor had specifically asked to bring in, so they did not dare be negligent in the slightest.

To ordinary people, he was a general with a high position and power, but before the mayor, he was just a casual messenger.

“Gasp!”

Seeing how easily Wu Mo talked to the general, the surrounding villagers were shocked beyond words.

Many young people, in particular, confirmed something after seeing Wu Mo’s face.

“Hey… don’t you think that Old Wu’s son resembles the honorary student in Shanglin City from a few days ago?”

“Honorary student? Is he that G.o.d of learning who obtained a perfect score? That person’s very famous. Even now, many people are still talking about him online. He has fans!”

“It’s true. He looks exactly the same. I thought that he looked a little familiar a moment ago. I didn’t expect him to be from our Changkang Village!”

“The media even interviewed him the other day. A bunch of famous companies almost broke their heads trying to recruit him. In the end, it was a researcher from the capital who gave him an offer letter!”

“He’s an amazing person! He’s gone from a small mountain village to the capital. This is someone’s child!”

Everyone could not believe their ears.

At that moment, Fang Huilan and old Wu completely accepted the truth of the scene before them. They were all extremely excited. They never thought that a simple person like them would actually raise such an outstanding son.

Looking at her son’s current results, Fang Huilan’s face was filled with gratification. The tears that she had just held back flowed out once again.

His younger sister, Wu Yan, was also extremely happy. She had always wanted to be like her brother and become a powerful blacksmith. Unfortunately, during the uniform test at the age of twelve, she did not meet the standards and could only become an ordinary student.

Now that she could go to Shanglin City to study, she was looking forward to it in her heart. Furthermore, she was filled with admiration for her brother for being able to go to the capital!

She thought that one day, she would be able to achieve such accomplishments and protect her parents and brother!

Right then, the village chief got up shakily and quickly walked to Wu Mo. “Mr. Wu, I’m truly sorry. This old man shouldn’t have said too much and doubted your strength. Please, on account of my advanced age, spare this useless old man,” he said in a trembling voice.

Wu Mo felt somewhat helpless and immediately helped the village chief up. “Chief, what do you mean? I’ve never been angry with you. Please get up.”

Seeing that Wu Mo really did not mind, the village chief retreated to the side with a relieved expression

“Mr. Wu, I heard that you’re going to the capital today. If you don’t mind, my driver will take you to the airport.”

Shao Yuan had a gentle smile on his face as he spoke in a low voice.

Wu Mo wanted to reject him because Mr. Zhou had already told him that he would come and pick him up when he left Shanglin City.

Moreover, he did not want to trouble others to owe them a favor.

However, just as he was about to reject him, the buzzing sound of an engine suddenly appeared in the sky not far away.

Many of the villagers subconsciously raised their heads to look. At that moment, they saw a gray helicopter, with the words “05 Artifact Research Department” printed on its wings, flying over.

The huge airflow caused the weeds by the roadside to bend over.

The moment they saw the helicopter, all of the villagers felt their scalps go numb.

They had never seen an off-road vehicle in most of their lives, let alone a helicopter like that.

All of them were dumbstruck.

When the old village chief laid eyes on it, his hands, which were on his cane, began to shake. He could not help but think, ‘They actually sent a military helicopter over after the Wu family’s brat received that big shot’s appreciation. He’s simply a G.o.d descending to the mortal world!’

Shao Yuan, who had just opened his mouth to offer Wu Mo a ride to the airport, also began to look at Wu Mo with more respect.

At that moment, the helicopter came to a stop on the ground. Zhou Jinlong and a group of high-level cultivators alighted from the helicopter. Wu Mo dragged his luggage and walked toward Zhou Jinlong.

Fang Huilan, old Wu, and Yan Yan immediately followed.

“Wu Mo, how are your preparations? We’re going to report to the capital tonight,” Zhou Jinlong looked at Wu Mo and said with a smile.

Wu Mo nodded and said, “Mr. Zhou, I’m already prepared. I can report to the Research Department at any time.”

“Okay!”

He patted Wu Mo on the shoulder and set his eyes on the three people behind the boy.

“Mr. Zhou, this is my family. They’ve been briefed, and they’re ready to go to Shanglin City.”

Wu Mo quickly introduced them.

Fang Huilan looked at the soldiers behind the man, who were armed to the teeth, and she felt a little scared. However, she still forced a smile and said, “Sir, I’ll have to trouble you with my son in the future.”

Looking at the huge helicopter, old Wu sighed in his heart and said, “Sir, my son is really smart. He can learn everything at once.”

At this time, Yan Yan was a little fearful. She hugged her mother’s thigh and secretly looked at the bespectacled man in front of her.

Zhou Jinlong laughed and said, “Don’t worry, Sir and Ma’am. Your son will definitely undergo better development when he comes to the capital. Once he gets used to things in the Research Department, I’ll give him a few days off to accompany you. Alright, it’s getting late. Wu Mo, we should go!”

He waved his hand, and the smile on his face was rather bright and cheerful.

It was completely different from the cold and indifferent appearance he had when he was testing everyone in the auditorium.

Even he could not quite explain the change in his own att.i.tude. Perhaps it was because he truly acknowledged Wu Mo as his student!

As they were about to part, Wu Mo turned around and hugged his parents. Old Wu was not used to it, and he looked slightly embarra.s.sed.

Fang Huilan instructed him in a low voice, “Listen to your instructor when you get there. Don’t work too late and take care of your health.”

There was no need to worry about his home. Both his parents were fine.
