After the children came back, Mo Congfeng told them the news that he had bought a new house. The children all looked happy, and when they learned that it was near the Kinoshita family, they cheered.

Seeing the children's expressions, Mo Congfeng felt genuinely happy and felt that all his running back and forth was worth it.

Mo Congfeng stopped the children from making a fuss and asked everyone to pack up and prepare for moving. Soon the children packed everything and completed the moving work in one trip.

At this time, Mo Congfeng left the children at home and went back to go through the check-out and rent cancellation procedures. When he returned home again, he found that the Kinoshita brothers and sisters had come to the new house to help clean up.

In order to express his gratitude to the Kinoshita brothers and sisters for their help during this period, Mo Congfeng decided to invite them to dinner and celebrate their new house.

The restaurant this time was chosen by Kinoshita Ichirō. It was a small restaurant run by a couple of injured and retired ninjas.

The small restaurant was doing very well. There was not enough space inside the store for tables and chairs, so many more were placed outside the store. Many ninjas came to patronize the restaurant.

Kinoshitarou was obviously a regular customer. As soon as he arrived, the restaurant owner arranged a seat near the back. Many ninjas greeted him. It was obvious that he had a certain status and prestige among the civilian ninjas.

Just when Mo Congfeng and his group sat down and were about to order food, many ninjas came to greet them. Kinoshita Ichiro introduced Mo Congfeng to everyone, which aroused the admiration of the ninjas. It turned out that this was the recently rising civilian ninja Konoha Black Fang.

Finally, these ninjas were temporarily sent away. Mo Congfeng ordered the most expensive dish on the menu, and then invited the Kinoshita siblings and the children to order a favorite dish each. By the way, he tested the children's literacy. The children's literacy was pretty good, except Saburo and Nijo who were hesitant and could not recognize all the words on the menu.

Mo Congfeng didn't mind, he just reminded them both to study hard, telling them that they didn't have to become ninjas, but they must learn to read and write, otherwise they would lack many choices in life and would lose a lot of fun.

After the food came, Mo Congfeng tasted it briefly. The ingredients and cooking methods were quite simple, but the advantage was that the ingredients were fresh and the cooking was quite attentive.

Kinoshita Ichirō suggested having a drink. Mo Congfeng wanted to refuse, but Kinoshita Ichirō insisted and said that he could work on improving the relationship with the ninjas later. Mo Congfeng thought for a moment and agreed to take Kinoshita Ichirō's feelings into consideration.

Mo Congfeng could also understand Kinoshita's intention to pull him into the civilian ninja circle, but he had troubled Kinoshita many times and he had to repay him.

Sure enough, not long after, many ninjas came to the table to toast. Mo Congfeng had this experience on the Korean battlefield and knew that he must not show contempt for the gangsters. They cared about this the most, so he had to accompany them one by one and deal with it reluctantly.

Kinoshita Iro was very happy with the meal, but Mo Congfeng felt a little tired. After finishing the meal with great difficulty, Mo Congfeng supported Kinoshita Iro, who was becoming increasingly unsteady on his feet, and returned home.

After arranging for the children to go home, Mo Congfeng sent Kinoshita Lang home. On the way home, Kinoshita Lang kept praising Mo Congfeng's drinking capacity.

Mo Congfeng smiled slightly, thinking that this little bit of sake was nothing. Compared with the wines in the Central Plains, sake tasted really bland and uninteresting. It was not the type that Mo Congfeng liked.

After settling Kinoshita Ichiro, Mo Congfeng walked out of the house. A breeze blew on his face and he felt a little dizzy. When Miss Shizuka saw this, she hurried forward to help Mo Congfeng.

"You're drunk!" Shizuka spoke.

Mo Congfeng quickly denied it, stood still, and waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need help. "I'm not, I just feel a little dizzy."

"Let me take you home!" Shizuka said again.

"No need for that. The two houses are so close, I can do it!" Mo Congfeng said words that were completely opposite to what was in his mind. For the first time, he complained in his heart, why were the courtyards arranged so close?

"Well, I'll walk you to the door and then watch you go home. Our houses are so close, and if you fall, I'll be able to see you from home!"

"Yeah!" When Mo Congfeng was about to walk out of the courtyard gate, he felt the emotions of the time when they were alone together surging into his heart again. He wanted to let go of everything and embrace the present. He turned around suddenly and saw Shizuka's slightly tired face.

Mo Congfeng slowly took the hand that was holding up Jingxiang, and suddenly said something that he couldn't believe, "Are you willing to be with me?"

Shizuka was stunned for a moment, "You are just drunken talk!"

Mo Congfeng's face was hot, and he wanted to get close to her and hug her, but Jingxiang stopped him with a hand on his chest, "You never really understood me, and I never really understood you!"

"What..." Mo Congfeng opened his mouth to speak, but was interrupted by Shizuka, "Are you really a samurai? You are very different from samurai like Mifune!"

Mo Congfeng forced himself to calm down, "Now I am a ninja!"

"But I hate ninjas! Mr. Cong Feng, please wake up and think about it carefully. Now you just need me, but you don't really love me!"

Shizuka stopped and paused for a moment, "Mr. Cong Feng, maybe I need you too, but not in the way you think!"

Mo Congfeng smiled awkwardly, "I understand. I'm sorry Miss Shizuka, I was really presumptuous today!"

Shizuka smiled back, "It's okay, you're just drunk!"

Mo Congfeng's expression turned serious. "I'm not drunk. My mind is not confused and my heart is clear. The wine only gave me courage but did not disturb my mind!"

"Yeah, I understand, I received your kindness, but the current situation is not right! I hope you can respect me!" Shizuka lowered her head silently.

Mo Congfeng nodded, "Yes, I will!" Then he turned around and fled.

After returning to his home, Mo Congfeng pretended nothing had happened. He asked the children to wash up and go to bed, then turned and went into his room.

Mo Congfeng felt an unprecedented sense of frustration lingering in his heart. Shizuka's feelings for him were not what Kinoshita Ichiro imagined. He had felt it for a long time, but he turned a blind eye to it. Or he lost his mind under the influence of alcohol and did such a presumptuous thing!

Mo Congfeng felt a huge sadness and pain. It was the first time in his life that he felt heartache. This was also the only setback he had ever felt since he was born!

He couldn't win in a sword fight, he was defeated in a battle and was routed by the enemy, he lost his teacher and fellow students, and he even suffered a shipwreck. He was the only one left on the ship, stranded all alone in a foreign country. These were not failures for Mo Congfeng. To him, those were just setbacks that Mo Congfeng could accept, not defeats!

But Mo Congfeng knew that Jingxiang's words were quite clear. First, he and Jingxiang had only known each other for two months, which was too short to really understand each other. Second, maybe he really just needed it!

A girl like Shizuka deserves Mo Congfeng's respect!

Mo Congfeng was in a deep sleep and was awakened by Kinoshita Ichirō knocking on the door. He walked out of the house, opened the door and saw Kinoshita Ichirō's familiar face. He felt extremely embarrassed.

"Why are you sleeping until now? It's already afternoon, and I'm back from my shift!" Kinoshita Ichiro sniffed the scent on Mo Congfeng's body and laughed, "Mo, you look like you can drink a lot, but you sober up too slowly!"

"Is there anything wrong?" Mo Congfeng asked puzzledly.

"Big thing, a very big thing!" Kinoshita said excitedly!

Mo Congfeng yawned, "From your expression I know it's not a bad thing, so stop keeping me in suspense!"

Kinoshita Ichiro stopped smiling and said, "In three days, Konoha will hold a general meeting of all jonin. All jonin will return to Konoha. This will be the first general meeting of this kind since the war. Many important decisions will be finalized at the meeting!"

Mo Congfeng was not interested. He had participated in many Jonin conferences before. They were basically harmonious conferences and victory conferences. They were really boring. Mo Congfeng felt that he had no interest in such conferences.

But things turned out to be beyond Mo Congfeng's expectations!
