“Your face isn’t fat, your skin is thick…” Kui Lao couldn’t help but say.

Mr. Zhuang denied it, saying:

“Impossible, my facial skin has always been this thick.”

Kui Lao sighed, not wanting to get entangled in arguments with him, and asked about the important matter: “Have you thought about how to avoid touching karma yet?”

Mr. Zhuang nodded and said: “I’ve thought about it.”

Kui Lao looked at him silently.

Mr. Zhuang took a sip of wine and said lightly:

“Karma is predetermined, just like this wine. You can’t avoid thinking about it or touching it. As long as you drink the wine, you will inevitably experience its taste.”

“Since you can’t avoid touching it, then use other karma to obscure it.”

“By obscuring the taste of wine, others might not be able to smell it. By obscuring karma, others might not be able to see it either.”

Obscure karma…

Kui Lao frowned and thought for a moment, then understood, but still said:

“Aren’t you just making karma even more complicated by doing this?”

“It’s not that I’m making it complicated…”

Mr. Zhuang shook his head, his gaze fixed on the courtyard.

Under the large locust tree in the middle of the courtyard, the three disciples were happy and harmonious.

Mo Hua and Bai Zi Sheng were talking about something. Bai Zi Xi’s beautiful eyes were slightly bright, and she listened quietly at the side, occasionally showing a light smile as delicate as a new moon.

Mr. Zhuang’s gaze was profound, “But some karma already exists.”

The next day, Mo Hua visited Mr. Zhuang as usual, carrying many boxes and bags filled with food.

“Sir, my mother asked me to bring this for you to taste!”

Mo Hua’s tone was joyful, his eyes clear and bright, as if filled with starlight.

The morning sun was bright, and the room was filled with clear light.

Mr. Zhuang looked at Mo Hua, his face suddenly gentle, and said softly:

“Mo Hua, are you willing to be my disciple?”

Mo Hua was slightly startled, “Aren’t I already your disciple?”

Mr. Zhuang shook his head, “Not a registered disciple, a direct disciple!”

Mo Hua was stunned.

He opened his mouth wide, instantly finding it hard to believe, still thinking he had heard wrong.

“Direct… direct lineage?”

Mr. Zhuang smiled slightly and nodded gently.

Mo Hua was overjoyed, but soon carefully and cautiously asked: “Sir, you’re taking me as a direct disciple, you won’t regret it, will you? My spirit root is very poor…”

Mr. Zhuang laughed and said: “It doesn’t matter…”

Mo Hua still felt like he was dreaming, but even if it was a dream, he had to agree to this.

Mo Hua was about to agree, but was stopped by Mr. Zhuang.

Mr. Zhuang said seriously: “You have to think carefully.”

“What is there to consider?”

Mo Hua frowned, not understanding what needed consideration.

Mr. Zhuang then said: “I want to leave Tong Xian City. If you become my disciple and follow me to learn arrays, you will have to travel with me.”

“Traveling, I don’t know how long it will take. You have to discuss it with your father and mother, consider their feelings, and then decide whether or not you want to become a disciple.”

Mr. Zhuang was thoughtful and considerate.

Mo Hua’s small eyebrows furrowed together, very conflicted.

He wanted to become Mr. Zhuang’s disciple and learn more profound arrays, but he was also reluctant to leave his father and mother, fearing they would worry.

Mr. Zhuang said gently: “Go back and ask your father and mother, think it through, and then give me your reply.”

“Okay.”

Mo Hua nodded seriously.

After returning home, Mo Hua told his father and mother about the matter.

Mo Shan and Liu Ru Hua both showed joy on their faces, then both became a little hesitant.

Mo Shan wrinkled his brow, and just as he was about to say something, Liu Ru Hua said firmly:

“Hua Er, you should become Mr. Zhuang’s disciple.”

Mo Hua was slightly startled, “But…”

But once he became a disciple, he would have to leave with Mr. Zhuang, not knowing when he could come back, when he could see his father and mother again…

Liu Ru Hua’s expression was gentle, and she shook her head, saying:

“No need to think so much. If you succeed in array practice, you can go anywhere in this wide world. Don’t worry about a temporary separation.”

“To be able to follow Mr. Zhuang and learn arrays is a great opportunity from heaven, absolutely not to be missed!”

“We are just loose cultivators, with no name and no benefit. Despite this, Mr. Zhuang is still willing to take you as his disciple. This is an even greater favor from heaven.”

“We have no way to repay this favor.”

“If you become Mr. Zhuang’s disciple, follow and serve him with a little effort, it will be considered repaying Mr. Zhuang…”

Liu Ru Hua’s tone was gentle but firm.

Mo Shan also nodded and said: “Listen to your mother.”

“Okay, I understand!”

Mo Hua nodded seriously.

After Mo Hua returned to his room, Liu Ru Hua’s firm expression disappeared, and she became hesitant and anxious again, weighed down by gains and losses.

Mo Shan held her hand and said softly:

“Reluctant?”

Liu Ru Hua’s eyes were slightly sore, and she nodded.

A child who has always been by her side since childhood, and who is so well-behaved and considerate, how could she not be reluctant…

But even if she was reluctant, there was nothing she could do.

Liu Ru Hua sighed,

“Hua Er’s array learning is so good, no one in Tong Xian City can teach him anymore. If he stays here all his life, it’s estimated that it will be hard to make any progress…”

“I know he likes learning arrays and also wants to go and learn, but he’s also worried about us and can’t make up his mind.”

“Parents love their children and plan for them far ahead…”

“I can’t delay his future because I’m reluctant.”

Mo Shan was also reluctant in his heart, but he didn’t show it. He just smiled and comforted her, saying:

“Don’t worry, it’s just traveling, it’s not like he’s not coming back. Which young person doesn’t go out and travel?”

“Perhaps in a few years, he’ll be back again.”

“At that time, maybe he can bring you back a little wife.”

Liu Ru Hua smiled through her tears and scolded: “What nonsense are you talking about?”

Mo Shan saw that his wife’s expression was getting better, so he held her hand tightly and comforted her:

“No matter where he travels, he will always come back one day. We, as parents, will always be here waiting for him…”

Liu Ru Hua’s mood gradually stabilized, and she nodded silently.

The next day, Mo Hua went to find Mr. Zhuang again. Remembering his father and mother’s instructions, he respectfully performed a great salutation, and said clearly:

“Mo Hua is not talented, I hope Mr. will take me as his disciple!”

Mr. Zhuang was momentarily stunned.

He was the one who wanted to take a disciple, yet Mo Hua came to pay respects and become a disciple with such reverence…

A warm feeling rose in Mr. Zhuang’s heart. He stepped forward and helped Mo Hua up, also brushing off his clothes, “Don’t do such a grand salutation, it’s too polite…”

Mo Hua smiled with narrowed eyes.

Seeing Mo Hua’s innocent and lively smile, Mr. Zhuang also smiled gently, as if a burden had been lifted from his heart.

No matter what, he finally took this disciple.

No matter how worldly affairs change, or how karma cycles, this matter will never change.

Since the matter is confirmed, there is no need to hesitate, no need to wander, just move forward firmly.

Mr. Zhuang’s heart suddenly felt much lighter.

It seemed that so many years of wandering finally had a place, and so many years of depression and hardship all went with the wind.

Mo Hua was happy for a while, suddenly thought of something, and became a little conflicted again.

He quietly asked: “Sir, how many disciples do you plan to take?”

Mr. Zhuang looked at him, smiling slightly, “What do you want to ask?”

Mo Hua felt that it wasn’t quite appropriate, hesitated for a moment, but still asked: “Zi Sheng and Zi Xi, you’re not taking them?”

Everyone was a registered disciple together. If only he became Mr. Zhuang’s direct disciple, they would probably not feel too good about it…

Mr. Zhuang laughed and said: “Their quality is not bad, and they have some connection with me. I will take them in.”

Mo Hua breathed a sigh of relief and was also very happy.

This way, everyone was a registered disciple together, and now they are all direct disciples together, truly from the same sect.

Mo Hua thought again, Zi Sheng and Zi Xi’s talent is extremely high, and they have a family background of learning. Perhaps Mr. Zhuang wanted to take them as disciples early on.

Compared to them, he was naturally weak, his spirit root was not good, and his birth was poor, only his divine sense was stronger and his array drawing was better.

Mr. Zhuang taking Zi Sheng and Zi Xi as disciples should be natural, but taking him in seemed a bit like “making up the numbers.”

But Mo Hua didn’t care either. He was very happy that Mr. Zhuang was willing to take him as a disciple.

After Mo Hua left happily, Mr. Zhuang called Bai Zi Sheng and Bai Zi Xi again and asked directly:

“Are you willing to become my disciples?”

Bai Zi Sheng and Bai Zi Xi were both stunned.

After a moment, Bai Zi Sheng’s expression was excited, and Bai Zi Xi’s eyes also showed joy.

They originally thought that Mr. Zhuang would not take them in, but they didn’t expect that the matter would turn around in the end, and the Sir actually agreed to take them as disciples.

The two immediately bowed and said respectfully:

“Greetings, Master.”

Mr. Zhuang nodded slightly and said: “Get up.”

The two stood up respectfully again.

Mr. Zhuang said: “Choose a day to burn incense and offer tea, and then formally become disciples.”

“Your mother should know all the other matters and tell you everything.”

Mr. Zhuang’s gaze was obscure, “Since I promised to take you as disciples, I should naturally teach you, and I will teach you. I will also give her an explanation.”

Bai Zi Sheng and Bai Zi Xi both nodded and said yes.

As long as they became disciples, there was no need to ask more about other things.

Before becoming disciples, they listened to their mother’s arrangements. After becoming disciples, they listened to Mr. Zhuang’s arrangements.

They, as siblings, actually couldn’t make decisions about internal matters.

Or rather, in matters of large families and clans, these clan disciples, even if they were direct descendants and exceptionally talented, were often unable to make decisions.

The more important the matter, the less room for change there was.

After Mr. Zhuang gave simple instructions, he let them go back.

Bai Zi Xi was ultimately more thoughtful. She hesitated for a moment before leaving and still asked: “Sir, Mo Hua…”

Before Bai Zi Xi could finish, Bai Zi Sheng reacted and also helped to ask: “Sir, will you take Mo Hua as your disciple?”

Everyone was a registered disciple together. Now they were all becoming Mr. Zhuang’s direct disciples. If Mo Hua was missing, even if they didn’t say anything, he would definitely not feel good about it.

Mr. Zhuang was momentarily stunned, and an inexplicable warmth rose in his heart. He nodded and said:

“Yes!”

Both of them were even happier this time.

Bai Zi Sheng’s expression was elated, and Bai Zi Xi also smiled faintly, a smile like an epiphyllum blooming in the night, only beautiful and stunning.

Mr. Zhuang saw this and sighed in his heart:

This child’s appearance is even better than her mother’s.

I don’t know if this is a good thing in the future…
