Yu Er’s eyes gradually brightened, but then she beca sowhat afraid:
"But that bad Yu Er is so fierce, so strong, I..."
Mo Hua smiled and said, "That’s just sothing that is externally strong but internally weak. There’s no need to be afraid of it. The only reason it survived is entirely thanks to you."
Yu Er was startled, "Thanks to ?"
Mo Hua nodded and said to Yu Er:
"It was because of you that I didn’t crush it. Without you, it would have been dead ten thousand tis over. So, you’re its ’master’ and even its ’savior’."
"I’m its ’master’..." Yu Er murmured, her eyes brightened, and she felt an endless courage welling up inside her.
She looked up at Mo Hua, feeling incomparably at ease in her heart.
Brother Mo’s words must be right.
Brother Mo said he could crush it, and surely he could.
She didn’t need to be afraid of anything.
A smile appeared on Yu Er’s small face again.
The darkest secret that had been hidden deep in her heart over these days gradually dissipated.
"Alright," Mo Hua patted Yu Er’s head again, "it’s ti to go back. There are many delicious foods tonight."
"Okay!" Yu Er nodded with a smile and slightly moist eyes.
...
After returning to the Gu Family, the dinner party was just about to start.
The graduation from the Sect was imminent, and this was probably the last dinner Mo Hua could have at the Gu Family.
Mo Hua’s seat was very high, and he was served the best food.
Yu Er was brought by his side, and the two of them enjoyed the al imnsely.
Halfway through the al, people began to toast Mo Hua one after another.
This was a family feast, and all the attendees were from the Gu Family, those who had a good relationship with Mo Hua. Naturally, he did not decline any of the toasts, making his cheeks flush red.
The atmosphere of the banquet was relaxing and amiable.
However, halfway through eating, a few more guests suddenly arrived.
Mo Hua recognized these people as well.
They were Master Xia and Xia Canonical Official, accompanied by mbers of the Xia family.
Gu Shouyan was a little surprised, but he still stood up to welco them, saying, "Apologies for not welcoming you from afar, Inspector Sir."
Master Xia also wore a calm smile on his face, "Uninvited guests, I do hope the Family Head doesn’t mind my abruptness."
"Not at all, not at all," Gu Shouyan said, then ordered soone to arrange the seating.
The Xia family was a Great Family in Taoist State and a noble family of the Taoist Court.
Master Xia was an inspector directly affiliated with the Taoist Court.
As generations of the Gu Family had served in the Taoist Court, Gu Shouyan dared not neglect them emotionally or rationally, and Gu Shouyan also knew the purpose of Master Xia’s visit.
Master Xia was specifically seated next to Mo Hua. After taking his seat, he nodded to Mo Hua and then instinctively looked at Yu Er.
Mo Hua beca slightly alert and imdiately said:
"Yu Er, take these Glazed Fruits to Aunt Wan for a taste."
Yu Er obediently nodded, holding a tray of fruit, and went to find her mother.
Master Xia withdrew his gaze.
Mo Hua calmly drank the Gu Family’s treasured Hibiscus wine brew.
The fact that Yu Er was chosen by the Great Wilderness Evil God as the "Evil Embryo" was unknown to most, but as a Central Dao Court Inspector, Master Xia surely had so knowledge of it.
Even though the disaster of the Evil God seed to have subsided at this ti, Yu Er’s identity was still very sensitive, so Mo Hua didn’t dare let Yu Er be exposed to Master Xia’s sight.
Master Xia didn’t seem to mind.
Yu Er’s matter wasn’t his to worry about; his visit was mainly for Mo Hua.
Ever since the Blood Sacrifice incident, Elder Master Xun had kept a close eye, leaving the Taoist Court forces with hardly any chance to contact Mo Hua.
Mo Hua’s Formation ability was beyond imagination.
The karma surrounding him was also unpredictable.
Master Xia was very curious and wanted to see more clearly but knew it was not yet the right ti.
"Mo, what are your plans after graduating from the Outer Gate? Are you joining the Taixu Inner Sect as an Elder?" Master Xia politely inquired.
Mo Hua shook his head, "Not necessarily."
"Then, are you planning to ally with the Qianxue Family to gain so background?"
Mo Hua shook his head, "It’s hard to say."
"Returning to your hotown in Li State?"
Mo Hua still shook his head, "Uncertain."
Master Xia was silent, sighing inwardly. .
This kid, who knows where he learned from, already had the attitude of an "ancestor" at such a young age, speaking ambiguously, impenetrably, with no definitive answers.
However, it was quite normal for Mo Hua not to speak.
His position was now special, and his overt identity was remarkable and couldn’t easily be disclosed.
Master Xia took out a Token and handed it to Mo Hua.
"This is the Blessing Token of my Xia family. In the future, if you ever wish to join the Xia family, whether for marriage, learning Formations, seeking inheritance, or simply visiting as a guest, you can present this Blessing Token, and the Xia family will surely treat you well."
Blessing Token?
Mo Hua hesitated a bit.
He was afraid that taking this so-called "Blessing Token" would entangle him in so karma. He also feared that Master Xia might have tampered with the "Blessing Token."
But after thinking about it, Mo Hua felt he might be overthinking.
The "blessing" of the Xia family in Taoist State was sothing many people longed for but couldn’t obtain.
Moreover, a dignified Master Xia wasn’t likely to use tricks to sche against him.
If really worried, he would ask Elder Master Xun to check it later...
Mo Hua thought to himself and then accepted the Token, expressing his gratitude:
"Thank you for your kindness, Master Xia. Mo Hua is greatly grateful."
Master Xia nodded slightly.
Giving the Xia family’s Blessing Token essentially achieved his goal; the rest couldn’t be discussed at the mont either.
Master Xia only drank a few cups of wine before taking his leave.
The Xia Canonical Official, clad in a light moon-colored dress with a beautiful appearance, also got up to leave. But as she left, she glanced at Gu Changhuai, who was sipping his drink alone in the crowd, and for a mont, she seed lost in thought.
