Chapter 1317

The door was kicked open, and Miss Hua, with her gorgeous clothes and beautiful appearance, walked in with her head held high.

Mo Hua was shocked. "What are you doing?"

Miss Hua snorted coldly. "Who told you not to open the door?"

Mo Hua was speechless. "It's the middle of the night, and you're breaking into a boy's room. Do you have any etiquette or morals at all?"

Miss Hua stared at Mo Hua's face, confirmed it, and nodded:

"That's right, it's you. Back then, when you were pretending to be a servant and serving me tea and water..."

Mo Hua hurriedly said: "Shh..."

Seeing Mo Hua feeling guilty, Miss Hua felt a bit proud.

Mo Hua was helpless. "Speak, what do you want with me?"

Miss Hua just wanted to speak, but Mo Hua shook his head again: "Don't forget, whatever you do or say now is being watched and heard by the True Persons."

Knocking on the door in the middle of the night and kicking open someone's door—others might not know, and might not dare to know, but it definitely couldn't escape the perception of the two True Persons.

Miss Hua was stunned. Thinking about it, that was true, so she said: "Follow me."

Mo Hua shook his head. "I'm not going."

Miss Hua raised her pretty eyebrows. "Don't force me to use force on you."

Mo Hua sighed again. "Fine, where to?"

Miss Hua hooked her fair finger at Mo Hua. "Follow me."

Her appearance was exactly like a beautiful female ghost trying to lure away a soul in the middle of the night.

Mo Hua was helpless and could only follow her.

They didn't walk too far before Miss Hua brought Mo Hua to another private room, closed the door, sealed the windows, and even activated the formation of the screen.

The room was sealed, and a faint fragrance drifted about.

Mo Hua was shocked again, subconsciously protecting his body. "What are you doing?"

Miss Hua glanced at Mo Hua and sneered: "I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of? You..."

She just wanted to say something, but before she could speak, she seemed to feel it was still a bit inappropriate, so she took out a jade pendant and activated it with spiritual power, forming a barrier that enveloped the room.

Mo Hua could tell at a glance that this barrier was also for isolating sight and sound, and the formation used inside was even more brilliant.

Mo Hua said: "This still can't block the ears and eyes of the True Persons."

Miss Hua nodded. "I know, but if they force themselves to eavesdrop, I can also detect it."

Mo Hua nodded.

Miss Hua found a chair and sat down, crossing her legs, looking at Mo Hua, and asked: "Your name is Mo Hua?"

Mo Hua nodded.

Miss Hua didn't speak anymore.

Mo Hua understood and politely asked back: "What is your name?"

Miss Hua then said: "My surname is Hua, and my given name is 'Ping'."

"Hua Ping..." Mo Hua muttered, his heart stirred, and his bad habit immediately came out again. "... Flower Vase?"

He liked to give people little nicknames whenever he had nothing to do.

Hua Ping's pretty face turned cold.

Mo Hua shut his mouth and didn't speak.

This was the Hua family's territory, and before him was the Hua family's eldest young lady; under the eaves, one had to bow their head.

Moreover, his other identity as a Divine Blessing had a "deep blood feud" with the Hua family, although it was temporarily hidden, he still had to keep a low profile.

"Are you a disciple of the Grand Void Gate?"

"Yes."

"The leader of the Ganxue formation path?"

"Yes."

"The number one person in the Ganxue sword debate?"

"Yes."

Hua Ping looked at Mo Hua as if looking at a "rare animal," puzzled: "Fake, right? Just you?"

"What's wrong with me?"

Hua Ping curled her lips. "Doesn't look like it at all."

Mo Hua nodded and sighed: "Yes, I went through the back door. The leader of the Ganxue formation path was obtained through my connections. The number one person in the Ganxue sword debate was won by taking advantage of loopholes, cheating, and sneak attacks."

He was already too lazy to explain too much.

Preconceptions in people's hearts are like a mountain.

Hua Ping frowned. "Isn't your Ganxue prefecture a prosperous place for Dao cultivation? Can you fool people like this?"

Mo Hua said: "The reality is not as good as the reputation. The entire cultivation world is just a makeshift stage. Everyone is just a water-goods product."

Mo Hua being so honest made Hua Ping a bit surprised.

Other young geniuses, in front of her, all bragged about themselves to the heavens, praising themselves as unparalleled in the world.

Only Mo Hua was open and honest in front of her, speaking only the big truths.

Hua Ping nodded, the hairpin on her hair swaying.

Mo Hua asked her: "And you? Are you the eldest young lady of the Hua family?"

Hua Ping said: "That is natural."

"Which branch?" Mo Hua asked.

Hua Ping said: "If I tell you, would you know?"

Mo Hua thought for a moment and shook his head. "I don't know. I know nothing about the Hua family; the only person I know is True Person Hua."

"That's it then," Hua Ping said. "The Hua family is so big, and the bloodlines are complex. Even if I tell you, you wouldn't be able to distinguish them."

"Then..." Mo Hua asked again, "What do you want with me?"

Hua Ping thought for a moment, lowered her voice, and said: "I came to warn you, don't tell others about what happened in Desert City, especially my uncle."

Mo Hua was slightly stunned.

Just this little thing?

But then his mind turned, and he understood.

The Hua family is so big and the bloodlines are complex, which means there are many factions, and each faction has its own plans and schemes.

Although Hua Ping calls True Person Hua "Uncle," what she does seems to be outside True Person Hua's control.

Currently, it seems Elder You is a "businessman," making a fortune from war in the wilderness.

This Miss Hua Ping has some connection with the Great Wilderness Gate... no, not just the Great Wilderness Gate, but also that Young Master Shi from the Corpse Valley.

What about True Person Hua?

True Person Hua is responsible for controlling the overall situation of the Great Wilderness? And... managing those bandaged people, conducting human "slicing" research?

These three are interconnected, but they don't seem to be on the same path.

Mo Hua frowned and pondered.

Hua Ping asked: "Hey, what are you thinking about?"

Mo Hua came back to his senses and shook his head. "Nothing."

Hua Ping stared at Mo Hua and said: "Don't say, when you were thinking about things just now, the way your eyes flashed was actually quite handsome."

Mo Hua's face turned black.

Hua Ping said again: "How about it?"

Mo Hua was puzzled. "What?"

Hua Ping said: "What I just told you, about the Great Wilderness... Desert City, you'd better keep your mouth shut."

Mo Hua nodded. "Don't worry, as long as you don't say it, I won't say it."

Hua Ping looked at Mo Hua's clear eyes and confirmed that Mo Hua was an "honest person," so she felt relieved.

Then she had other curious things and pestered Mo Hua to ask: "I heard you are the illegitimate son of an ancestor? Which ancestor?"

"You are so young, whose ancestor's old tree bloomed?"

"How was that formation path leader compared? Who gave you the black curtain?"

"You..."

The arrogant Hua Ping was now chattering endlessly at Mo Hua.

Mo Hua really didn't want to answer at all.

Just at this moment, he heard a cough in his ear.

A powerful divine sense was penetrating the barrier.

Hua Ping's expression also turned cold, muttering: "I haven't asked enough yet..."

However, she also knew that someone was reminding her to stop.

Although Hua Ping felt disappointed, she couldn't disobey, so she said to Mo Hua: "Next time I knock on the door, remember to open it."

After speaking, she ignored Mo Hua, removed the jade pendant barrier, dismantled the screen formation, pushed open the door, and walked away with her head held high again.

Mo Hua sighed in his heart:

"Women are really troublesome..."

He shook his head, left the room with the faint fragrance, and walked toward his guest room.

Just as he reached his door, he heard a voice behind him say faintly:

"A man and a woman alone in the middle of the night, what are you doing?"

Mo Hua was startled. He turned his head and found True Person Brother Zhuge standing in the night, looking at him with a strange expression.

Mo Hua was helpless. He opened the door that had been kicked broken and said to True Person Brother Zhuge: "Come in and talk..."

True Person Brother Zhuge held his fan behind his back and walked into the room leisurely.

Mo Hua closed the door and turned to look at True Person Brother Zhuge. "You knew?"

True Person Brother Zhuge poured himself a cup of tea. "The door was kicked open, how could I not know?"

He raised his eyes and glanced at Mo Hua again. "Fortunately, it was her kicking your door. If you dared to kick her door in the middle of the night, I reckon you would have already been taken away by the Hua family for 'slow slicing'."

"Exactly," Mo Hua nodded and sighed: "We are both people, why is the treatment of men and women so different?"

A good boy like himself who kept himself clean had his door kicked by a bad woman in the middle of the night, and no one cared.

"Alright, stop with the glib tongue." True Person Brother Zhuge sipped his tea, looked at Mo Hua, and asked with a puzzled gaze: "You and this young lady of the Hua family, are you related?"

"Not related..." Mo Hua denied, just wanting to say something, but then looked around.

True Person Brother Zhuge said: "Don't worry, others can't hear."

Mo Hua then wanted to tell True Person Brother Zhuge what Hua Ping had just told him, including the fact that Hua Ping had been to the Great Wilderness Gate and met with Young Master Tuoba, but just as he wanted to speak, he realized he had already promised Hua Ping not to tell anyone about these things.

Mo Hua could only sigh: "I promised her, I can't say..."

True Person Brother Zhuge was surprised. "You two are so close, you have little secrets?"

"No." Mo Hua denied.

True Person Brother Zhuge didn't ask much either, but after thinking for a moment, he earnestly advised Mo Hua:

"I'll just remind you: the Hua family's water is too deep and too dangerous. Never provoke the women of the Hua family."

Mo Hua also knew this principle.

But then he couldn't help but mutter in his heart:

"The Hua family is too dangerous, and the women of the Hua family shouldn't be provoked, then what if I... provoke a woman from the White family?"

True Person Brother Zhuge looked at Mo Hua with a vigilant gaze. "Are you muttering something in your heart?"

Mo Hua hurriedly shook his head.

True Person Brother Zhuge didn't expect that Mo Hua was thinking about provoking an even more terrifying woman.

He just gave his usual advice:

"Anyway, just be clear in your own heart, I can't manage that much. I can only tell you that not everyone in this world is a good person, especially some women who are disasters by nature, stealing your energy and ruining your luck. Cultivate the Dao and cultivate the heart; don't be hindered by these disasters..."

"You are young and full of vigor; I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on and will go astray..."

Mo Hua nodded. "Don't worry, True Person, I won't go astray."

Even if he really went astray, it would be with the Junior Senior Sister.

True Person Brother Zhuge slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

He wasn't actually afraid that Mo Hua's determination wouldn't hold, but was afraid that the "Heart-Binding Desire-Inducing Golden Needle" in Mo Hua's mind would act up.

If this golden needle lost control and caused unpredictable changes, the trouble would be huge.

Especially in the middle of the night, a young boy and a young girl—one handsome, one beautiful—if they triggered desire, the trouble would be huge.

He even suspected that this was the Hua family "setting a trap" for Mo Hua—if it weren't for the fact that the young lady's status was truly too high to be used as bait.

Presumably, even that True Person Hua wouldn't have the guts to use this eldest young lady as bait.

"Be careful yourself, protect yourself when you are out." Thinking of this, True Person Brother Zhuge didn't say much more and turned to leave.

Mo Hua suddenly called out to True Person Brother Zhuge. "True Person..."

True Person Brother Zhuge turned his head, and Mo Hua whispered to him: "Why does the Hua family want to capture... that kid Bai Bai Zisheng?"

"True Person Hua said the Daoist Court ordered it," True Person Brother Zhuge said.

Mo Hua shook his head. "Even if the Daoist Court ordered it, given the Hua family's nature, they might not necessarily follow it."

True Person Brother Zhuge was a bit surprised. "You know the Hua family very well?"

Mo Hua could only say: "I... feel that way..."

True Person Brother Zhuge pondered for a moment and asked: "That Bai Bai Zisheng, is he related to you?"

Mo Hua shook his head. "Not related."

True Person Brother Zhuge said: "Then don't worry about it. This matter has nothing to do with you or me, and you must not interfere or act on impulse. Remember, when you are out, it's better to have one less thing than one more thing. If something goes wrong with this matter, the Hua family will definitely hold a grudge against you again."

"Fine..." Mo Hua nodded.

"Be careful yourself, I'm going back." After True Person Brother Zhuge finished speaking, he got up and wanted to leave again, but as he turned, his peripheral vision caught the formation on Mo Hua's table, and he suddenly stopped.

He picked up the formation on the table, looked at it for a few moments, his pupils shrank, and he looked at Mo Hua:

"Did you draw this just now?"

Mo Hua said slowly: "Yes... when I was reading the formation book just now, I drew a few strokes casually."

True Person Brother Zhuge's laziness vanished instantly, his gaze sharpening. "You... drew it casually?"

Mo Hua nodded slowly.

"You..." True Person Brother Zhuge didn't seem to be able to believe it, deliberating his wording. "You... Foundation Establishment? Who... taught you the laws?"

"No one taught me..." Mo Hua scratched his head, humbly saying, "It's just that when I was drawing formations, I casually realized a little bit..."

Drawing formations, casually, realized a little bit...

True Person Brother Zhuge muttered repeatedly in his heart, as if he were hearing ghost stories in broad daylight.

Mo Hua didn't quite understand and asked puzzledly: "Casually realizing a little bit of the laws... isn't that a very normal thing?"

At that moment, True Person Brother Zhuge seemed to feel the mockery and humiliation from a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and for a moment, he even had a trace of murderous intent.

Chatting with Mo Hua, sometimes it was indeed difficult not to have a trace of murderous intent.

True Person Brother Zhuge took two deep breaths to suppress this "improper thought."

He kept a straight face, stuffed the formation Mo Hua drew into his sleeve, gritted his teeth and said "I'm leaving," and then walked straight away.

Mo Hua didn't know why True Person Brother Zhuge suddenly became unhappy.

But he didn't take it too much to heart either.

True Persons are Feather Transformation, they are experts; sometimes their personalities are like women's, mostly unpredictable and moody.

One must be tolerant of others' personality flaws.

Mo Hua considered himself quite broad-minded in this regard.

He used a formation to reinforce the door that had been kicked broken, then sat back in his seat, continuing to read by candlelight and study formation principles.

After resting for a night, the group set off the next day.

But this time, there was one more person in the team.

Miss Hua Ping of the Hua family actually followed along, saying she wanted to go capture Bai Bai Zisheng together.

Mo Hua didn't know if this "Flower Vase" eldest young lady was purely here to join in the fun or if she had some ulterior motives for the Junior Senior Brother; he was too lazy to ask.

And for some reason, Hua Ping also became much quieter, occasionally looking at Mo Hua a few times along the way, but didn't harass Mo Hua anymore.

Seven days later, they entered the hinterland of the second-grade Wang Ji mountain boundary, and finally, there was news of Bai Bai Zisheng.

Daoist soldiers came to report one after another that they had found clues about Bai Bai Zisheng.

Even a few days ago, some aristocratic family geniuses had fought with Bai Bai Zisheng, but they couldn't keep him.

Hearing this news, Mo Hua's heart trembled slightly.

He could feel that he seemed to be getting closer and closer to his Junior Senior Brother.

After many years of separation, he didn't know what his Junior Senior Brother looked like now.

Two days later, the group arrived at a military camp on the edge of the mountain boundary.

This was a large military camp, where many cultivators were stationed, including both aristocratic family disciples and many Daoist soldiers.

True Person Hua led Mo Hua and the others toward a main tent in the middle.

When approaching the main tent, they could hear some noisy sounds; it seemed that there were many young people arguing in the main tent.

The sound of the argument was so loud that it could be heard outside the tent.

Mo Hua's expression was slightly stunned.

He could actually perceive some familiar auras from the tent, and even from the arguing voices alone, he could distinguish several familiar voices.
