Mo Hua pushed open the door and walked out of the guest room.
The majestic and domineering howl of the wolf in the sky had already subsided.
The disciples kneeling in the Canglang Sect stood up one after another, but a trace of blood flashed in their eyes, and their expressions seed sowhat savage, almost resembling "wolves".
Mo Hua's expression was slightly stunned.
Afterward, he pretended as if nothing had happened, strolling around the Outer Mountain of the Canglang Sect.
While ntally noting the mountain terrain, he perford Calculation of the formation layout, simultaneously and quietly extending his Divine Sense, perceiving the aura of the wolf's howl.
Yet after finishing the stroll, he still found nothing.
He could not at all probe the source of that soul-stirring wolf's howl.
After all, the Canglang Sect is a Third Grade Sect, even if a weak Third Grade, it's still a Third Grade.
The structure and layout of a Third Grade establishnt Sect are far too large to be seen through at a glance.
Mo Hua only had ford a Divine Thought Formation, his cultivation not yet reaching Golden Core, and couldn't draw a Third Grade Array.
Moreover, he was now a "guest," newly arrived, and it wouldn't be appropriate to be too "presumptuous."
Mo Hua then retracted his Divine Sense and acted as if nothing had happened.
But in his heart, there was a slight itch.
Patience is rewarding.
If there are no clues, it's fine. But now that the opportunity presented itself, not trying would be sowhat inconsiderate.
Mo Hua leisurely wandered around again and "accidentally" encountered an Elder he had t once before.
The Elder greeted Mo Hua and asked, "Young Master, did you rest well?"
Mo Hua replied, "The first half of the night was okay, but early in the morning, there seed to be so monster beast roaring, disturbing my sleep. Does your Canglang Sect keep monster beasts?"
The Elder's expression subtly changed.
Although it was only for a mont, Mo Hua's acute Divine Sense did not miss it.
The Elder smiled and said, "Young Master jests, how could the Canglang Sect keep monster beasts? Perhaps so disciples were doing body refinent early in the morning, shouting and disturbing your rest. I'll go reprimand them to be more mindful, you need not worry."
Hearing this, Mo Hua seed to doubt himself as well, frowning and saying:
"Body refinent in the morning? Could it be that I misheard it? Not monster beasts?"
The Elder cupped his hands, "Apologies to Young Master, it's our negligence."
Mo Hua waved his hand hurriedly, "It's nothing, no need to worry, Elder."
"Then..."
"Please go about your business."
The Elder smiled, cupped his hands and said, "Then I take my leave, please take care."
Mo Hua nodded slightly.
After the Elder left, Mo Hua watched his departing figure, his gaze glimring.
This Elder was clearly hiding sothing.
Moreover, perhaps because he was in Cang"lang" Sect, Mo Hua always felt that this Elder's smile, despite being amiable, had a certain wolfish cunning to it.
Mo Hua pondered this in his mind, then continued to stroll around the Canglang Sect for a while before soon noticing that faint traces of Divine Sense were shadowing him, indicating he was being "watched."
Mo Hua didn't want to alert them prematurely, so he put on a boredom mask and, after asking for directions from a Canglang Sect disciple, went straight down the mountain to Canglang City.
Once in Canglang City, those clinging traces of Divine Sense were still present.
Mo Hua pretended to know nothing, also wandering around Canglang City, looking both at the prosperous, luxurious main city and the surrounding desolate, poor streets.
Prosperity and poverty go hand in hand, where prosperity flourishes, hardship and poverty often accompany.
That sight had long ceased to surprise Mo Hua.
He sighed lightly in his heart, then swaggered towards the Luo family escort agency.
Luo Master was sitting in the agency, sighing deeply when he saw Mo Hua, and was imdiately startled, "Young Master Mo, what brings you here?"
Mo Hua said, "I'm bored, wandering around, just thought of seeing you."
Luo Master felt a twinge of panic inside.
Elder Duan, Elder Sun, and six disciples from the Canglang Sect had died at their hands.
If the Canglang Sect suspected anything due to Mo Hua's visit, the consequences would be unimaginable...
However, watching Mo Hua's calm and composed manner, as if nothing had happened, Luo Master oddly felt a bit reassured.
"Young Master Mo is certainly no ordinary person, if he is unafraid, then there's no need for to worry. Better not to act out of place..."
Luo Master silently thought, then called towards the back courtyard, "Ying Lady, Young Master Mo is here, prepare a pot of good tea."
After a while, the spirited Ying Lady ca holding a teapot, pouring tea for Mo Hua, all the while boldly gazing at him.
Luo Master helplessly waved her away, then softly asked, "Young Master Mo, your purpose in coming is..."
Mo Hua replied, "Truly nothing, I'm just here to chat. Besides you, I know no one else in the entire Canglang City, and there's nowhere else for to go."
Luo Master finally sighed with relief.
Then the two chatted, with Mo Hua asking and Luo Master answering.
Mo Hua's questions were all trivial and "boring," like a child's curiosity about everything, asking about petty, trivial matters.
But given Mo Hua's cultivation and prowess, Luo Master didn't dare be neglectful, answering each query with patience.
Thus, they engaged in trivial talk for two whole hours.
Luo Master was almost lulled into a sleepy daze by Mo Hua's questions.
Yet Mo Hua retained his keen interest, until his Divine Thought flickered, sensing that the surveillance Divine Sense around him had grown weary, retreating to rest, that's when his eyes shone brightly, and he softly asked Luo Master:
"Luo Master, do you know... the 'wolf howl' sound of the Canglang Sect?"
"Wolf howl?" Luo Master was taken aback.
"Yes," Mo Hua nodded, "Around six in the morning, there's a wolf's roar shaking the sky, a long howl, and the Canglang Sect disciples all kneel in reverence, expressions full of awe..."
Luo Master's brow furrowed tightly, shaking his head, "I... haven't heard of such a thing..."
