Chapter 1168: 18.6 First Grey Star - Contacting an Information Broker.
Mo Xuejing whispered, "Sleepy? Go ahead and sleep."
He phoned a few more workers to clean up the corridor outside his room while waiting for the small child, Ye Jingxia, to fall asleep. Ye Jieye was brutal, punching his bodyguards in the head. It appears that he mistook them for human traffickers who abducted his children. He is nothing like the cowardly chef he encountered this morning in the kitchen hall.
He brought the children into the guest room after cleaning them off with a warm towel and wiping away the blood from Ye Jingxia, who was gripping his father's arm at the time. He initially laid the newborn girl on the bed and covered her with a lovely children's blanket.
He left the door open while carrying Ye Jingxia to the bathroom in case the infant on the bed woke up again. He bathes the child and wipes away any signs of blood from him. He even changed the two children's clothes before going to the restroom.
A lot of strange things happened today, and most of them were triggered by one individual, Ye Jieye. He sat at the tiny table beside the bed after taking a bath, watching over the two youngsters he didn't seem to dislike at all. He only looks at them, as if doing so will keep these two cubs safe. He was clutching his phone in the other hand as if he couldn't decide whether to do anything new.
Finally, he chose to call that broker named Leica.
Ring. Ring. click!
[Please state the information you want and wait for the broker to estimate the price.]
Mo Xuejing spoke with a cold tone and said only one person's name.
"Ye Jieye"
[Requested in progress. Please wait for a minute for the price verification.]
[Ding! Estimate Price: 500 Million. This is only the down payment for basic information of this person. Would the customer still want to buy the information?]
Mo Xuejing was taken aback when he saw the downpayment for Ye Jieye's basic information. At first, he assumed the man was just a regular cook. He thought Ye Jieye must be a highly skilled cook after tasting his carbonara. But after viewing the price for information on Ye Jieye, he realized he had undervalued that man.
"How much is his full information including his children?"
[100 Billion for Ye Jieye. 50 Billion for the children. This is the full price. You can also pay for 1 Legend class Ingredient. Would the customer want to purchase the information?]
When he saw the price for the children's information, Mo Xuejing couldn't help but notice the two cubs resting happily on his bed. He couldn't figure out why the information on these two babies was so expensive.
Mo Xuejing mumbles, "Are they connected to the Big Clan like my Mo Clan?" He was only whispering his thoughts and didn't expect the broker on the other side to respond as well.
[The answer to that question is priced at 10 Million. Is the customer willing to buy this information?]
Mo Xuejing responded, "Yes."
[The Lu Clan of the East Gate.]
He heard the other side's response and urged him to withhold the information he requested. He intended to save up enough money before purchasing the knowledge. So the conversation stopped on Mo Xuejing's end.
Mo Xuejing said, "They are connected to the Lu Clan from the East."
His pupils constricted since the Lu Clan was a competitor of his Mo Clan. Not only that, but the Lu Clan despises their Mo Clan for mysterious reasons, which he is unaware of. He had no idea Ye Jieye was related to the Lu Clan. He is now more interested in learning more about this man and his two children, but he is not in a rush. 150 billion dollars is a lot of money.
Though it wasn't much in his opinion, his tribe would look into where he spent the money, and he is frightened to incriminate the two cubs resting on his bed.
"Forget it. I just need to find a Legendary Class ingredient and secretly exchange it for information." Mo Xuejing mumbled as he looked at the two children on the bed before leaning on his hand placed on the armchair and slowly closing his eyes to rest. He didn't expect to fall asleep completely after his eyes closed.

Meanwhile, the Master's Bedroom temporarily changed into a half-surgical and patient's room...
Doctor Guang had just completed wiping away his perspiration as he struggled to reattach the veins and bones on Ye Jieye's left hand. He merely had to reconnect the hand properly and stich it together because it had been cut off neatly. The healing within will be dependent on the patient's inherent healing power, while he used his healing ability to treat the tissues and flesh of the stitched hand.
He also wraps it to avoid getting yanked out and reinjuring himself.
Phews~
"This is too hard. How come this man's flesh is too thick and his bones are like metal? If what was used wasn't an Energy Knife I don't think anyone would be able to cut off this person's hand." Guang mumbles as he looks at his assistants who are surrounding the patient with him. "Go carry him on the bed. Hah~ so tiring~"
Doctor Guang exited the room, allowing the attendant to transfer the patient from the surgery table to the soft bed nearby. They were also given the task of cleaning up. He walked out to hunt for his employer, Mo Xuejing, after leaving the room.
After not seeing him with the children in the living room, which had recently been cleaned on the boss's demands, his gaze lingered on the securely locked guest room.
He was standing in front of the door, prepared to knock. The door immediately opened before his fingers touched the surface, showing Mo Xuejing and his expressionless attractive face.
"Don't knock. The children are asleep. Move to the living room." Mo Xuejing said he carefully closed the door of the guest room after he stepped out. Obviously afraid of waking up the two sleeping cubs on the bed.
Is this still his ruthless, heartless employer who despises children, Guang wondered? He appears to be overly kind with the children of the patient he just treated.
"Boss, are you feeling guilty? Don't worry, I've made sure to reattach that man's hand. Though it wouldn't be as good as the original, it's still enough to hold a spatula to cook when completely healed." Guang reported.
Mo Xuejing glanced at him and said, "Shut up and follow me in the living room."
"Yes."
The two men made their way to the living and stayed for a time. Not long later, the other physicians who had been assisting Guang had all come out, ready to depart. Mo Xuejing compensated them for their services and let them go. Guang stayed with his employer, who is presently sipping a cup of tea with him. Guang senses that his boss is earnestly contemplating something, and he is unable to intervene.
He can only wait for his boss to speak.
Mo Xuejing asked, "How is he?"
"The patient is already in good condition. His reattached left hand is also done well. He only needs to let it heal naturally for at least three months for him to be able to move it. His blood loss had been stabilized as well. As long as he eats food to replenish his blood, he will be able to stand up on his own." Guang reported in detail.
Mo Xuejing commanded, "Order food in the kitchen which is helpful to replenish blood and something children would like to eat."
"Boss, are you keeping them with you? We don't know anything about them. The strength that the chef showed just now obviously he isn't an ordinary chef. He might be a Soloist." Guang said. "Soloist is as rare as legendary class ingredients."
"Is his cooking that amazing?" Guang asked as if he couldn't believe such a cruel man to be able to cook delicious food. He saw those bodyguards' corpses. Their heads looked like they were bashed with a huge metal hammer. Their brains were smashed as well. Just thinking about it made him shiver.
Mo Xuejing said, "He made me eat a plate of carbonara. I didn't puke."
Guang was taken aback since he knew how much his boss despised milk-based foods. Even his favorite pastries, as long as they contained milk, he refused to consume. He is now persuaded that Ye Jieye's food is of the highest quality, capable of moving this ancestor's fastidious palate.
Guang said, "Wow~ now I kind of want to know how his cooking tastes."
"You should just fuck off." Mo Xuejing said.
Because there was a patient, Mo Xuejing did not knock Guang out of his suite. The suite consists of only three rooms. The master bedroom, as well as two guest rooms. He allowed Guang to sleep in the other guest room, while Mo Xuejing preferred to sleep with the kids. The two kids awoke to eat dinner. Mo Xuejing and Guang joined them for dinner.
Ye Jieye was still unconscious owing to the effects of anesthetic.
At dawn, Mo Xuejing was woken by the presence of someone who entered the guest room. He pretended to sleep as he didn't even notice the man's presence until he was over him. He only heard the man's hoarse voice saying,
"Thankfully, they didn't miss dinner."
After checking on the sleeping youngsters, the father exited the room. Mo Xuejing concluded that the father who awoke and checked on his children as soon as he opened his eyes had to be Ye Jieye. He was only a little surprised when Guang remarked that the man wouldn't be able to move since he had used a powerful anesthetic strong enough to knock out an elephant.
Mo Xuejing opened his eyes and glanced at the door with a solemn face after the guy shut it. It was the first time someone approached him without his knowledge. He could hardly respond if Ye Jieye decided to kill him. He was glad to learn that the man had just come to check on the two youngsters who had slept with him.
When dawn came, the aroma of honey-glazed and butter pancakes woke those who were sleeping. The aroma of cooked eggs and sausages is also present. The creamy aroma of tea and chocolate is also in the air. Even those who do not enjoy sweets could not avoid waking up with rumbling stomachs like Guang.
With a sleeping cap on his head and a drool at the corner of his mouth, Guang mumbled, "What the hell is this sweet smell? I don't like sweets but they smell so delicious. Growls~"
The other guest room opened and two children came out running, one of them was crawling so fast that Guang thought there was a dog.
Ye Jingxia shouted, "Pancakes!"
"Buh bhu~~" Hei Anxia was busy crawling after her elder brother, who ran like the wind.
Following them was Mo Xuejing who couldn't move his eyes in the direction of the kitchen and even bumped into Guang on the way.
Mo Xuejing said, "Move out of the way. You should go home."
"Boss, don't be like this. I want to eat too!" Guang said as he chased after the guys who ran towards the kitchen in hunger.
When they walked into the kitchen, they were greeted by an expressionless Ye Jieye holding a plate of pancakes in his right hand.
