“Let you play with it…”

Murong Caiyun listened to this child’s words, and felt somewhat like crying and laughing.

A transmission token is not something to play with.

But since Mo Hua asked for it, she didn’t refuse.

These storage bag items were originally for everyone to take what they needed.

She had no use for a blank transmission token.

“Okay then.”

Murong Caiyun handed the blank transmission token, made of white jade with the content already erased, to Mo Hua.

“Thank you, Senior Sister!”

Mo Hua happily took it, treating it like a “treasure” and put it away.

Murong Caiyun laughed, shaking her head slightly.

The remaining items were simply divided among everyone.

Since they were originally “leftovers” from the Daoting Division and not precious, Murong Caiyun basically gave them away to whoever asked for them.

After the last bit of spoils of war was “divided,” everyone hit the road back to the sect.

Coming time was urgent, going back the mood was more leisurely.

Murong Caiyun hired a carriage, spacious and luxurious, burning rain fog fragrance, paved with sable fur blankets, sitting soft and comfortable.

Mo Hua looked at the opulent carriage, guessing that Senior Sister Murong’s family must also be very rich.

He looked forward again.

Pulling the carriage were four large, handsome spirited horses.

These were second-grade spirited horses, specially bred by cultivators to pull carriages.

These four spirited horses were majestic.

Mo Hua couldn’t help but think of “Big White.”

Initially, he followed Master on his cloud wandering, also with Puppet Old Man, little senior brother, and little senior sister accompanying them. They traveled across mountains and waters, and the white horse pulling the carriage was “Big White.”

The name Big White was given to it by Mo Hua.

Mo Hua guessed that it must have liked it very much.

As soon as he called out Big White, it would intimately rub against him with its head.

As for “Big White’s” original name, something like Yun, or Longsu, it was a bit tongue-twisting, and Mo Hua didn’t really remember it.

“I wonder how Big White’s breed compares to these big horses?”

Mo Hua muttered silently in his heart.

White clouds floated, horse hooves ambled.

Past events, like mountain colors, piece by piece, floating light and fleeting shadows, drifted past him.

As he walked, Mo Hua’s heart suddenly felt a little lost and bittersweet.

Those people who had accompanied him for so long were suddenly all gone.

And he still had to, alone, keep walking forward.

And he must, keep walking forward…

Mo Hua’s eyes revealed a hint of desolation, mixed with a hint of firmness.

“Junior Brother…”

A warm, gentle, clear, and beautiful voice called back Mo Hua’s thoughts.

Murong Caiyun gently said, “Are you troubled?”

“No…”

Mo Hua shook his head.

Hua Qianqian, beside him, suddenly covered her mouth and said teasingly with a smile,

“Aren’t you perhaps thinking of someone, pondering which handsome little senior sister…”

Mo Hua’s cheeks flushed slightly, and he denied it, saying,

“No!”

Everyone was slightly stunned by the situation.

Thinking of the battle with the bald eagle, Mo Hua was proficient at hiding, good at formations, using water prisons to trap enemies, and using fireballs to “whip the corpse.”

Finally, at the critical moment, he secretly used a cold arrow and “tricked” the vicious and cunning bald eagle with the water prison technique, among other behaviors…

Not only was he meticulous in thought and composed and calm.

He even possessed a kind of naive decisiveness in killing.

Although he looked intimate and cute, he also had a mismatching feeling, a profound divine sense that was hard to grasp.

So, all the way here, although everyone’s expressions were as usual, their hearts always felt a little apprehensive.

But now, mentioning “someone special,” “little senior sister” matters…

Mo Hua’s fair cheeks suddenly turned red, tinged with a faint blush, making his lips red and teeth white, his eyebrows and eyes like a painting.

He still carried a touch of shyness and awkwardness.

He looked like a pure, genuine, and shy little junior brother.

Suddenly, the thorn in everyone’s heart disappeared, and they couldn’t help but reveal smiles.

Mo Hua saw everyone looking at him and laughing, and his face turned even redder. He explained,

“Really no!”

“Good, good…”

“You don’t believe me?”

“Believe, believe…”

“Then why are you still laughing?”

The atmosphere inside the carriage also became much livelier…

On the great road of Qian State.

The carriage traveled without stopping, sitting comfortably. Although it felt a little slow, the four large horses, healthy and swift as flying, were actually not slow at all.

Near evening, the carriage entered the border of Qianxue State.

Ouyang Feng was a disciple of Tai A Gate, and Hua Qianqian was a disciple of Hundred Flower Valley. They had to get off midway.

“Junior Sister Murong, Junior Sister Qianqian, Junior Brother Shangguan, Little Junior Brother Mo…”

Ouyang Feng, in a serious and courteous manner, called out each person’s name once, then cupped his hands and said,

“I’ll take my leave first. When we encounter another task, we’ll have a chance to see each other again…”

Everyone also cupped their hands in farewell.

Ouyang Feng took a last look at Mo Hua, hesitated for a moment, and still opened his mouth to say,

“Junior Brother Mo, if you have time, you can come to my Tai A Gate, view the mountains and scenery, and exchange and discuss the Tao. I can also fulfill my host’s friendship…”

“Thank you, Senior Brother Feng!” Mo Hua was very happy and kept nodding, saying,

“Certainly, certainly!”

Next was Hua Qianqian.

She wore a brocade hundred flower dao robe, her appearance was pretty. Although she looked a little quiet and didn’t like to talk, that was because she wasn’t familiar.

After becoming familiar, she was unexpectedly lively.

After bidding farewell to everyone, she also specially said to Mo Hua: “Little Junior Brother, if you have time, come to our Hundred Flower Valley to play, ah…”

Mo Hua was stunned, “Hundred Flower Valley… are all female cultivators, men can’t enter, right…”

Hua Qianqian smiled mischievously, “I’ll find a female disciple’s skirt for you to wear, apply some rouge and powder, dress you up as a ‘little beauty,’ and naturally you can go in.”

Mo Hua was a little angry and said firmly,

“I won’t!”

He was a dignified man, how could he wear women’s clothes?!

How unreasonable!

Hua Qianqian saw Mo Hua’s angry look and laughed even harder.

After laughing for a while, she stared at Mo Hua again, as if thinking about Mo Hua’s appearance wearing a brocade hundred flower dao robe, looking clear and pretty, with her eyes flowing as she looked, and her face full of expectation.

Mo Hua only felt a chill run down his spine, and immediately moved far away from her, hiding by Murong Caiyun’s side.

Murong Caiyun sighed helplessly.

After Hua Qianqian got off, she waved goodbye to everyone from afar, then turned and walked towards the Hundred Flower Valley, where flowers bloomed profusely and the seasons were like spring.

After the carriage traveled another stretch of road, it returned to Tai Xu Gate.

Murong Caiyun was one grade higher than Mo Hua and lived in the female disciple residence, so she first bid farewell, saying,

“Junior Brother Shangguan, Junior Brother Mo, I’ll leave first. After the merits are settled at the Daoting Division, I’ll transfer them to your Tai Xu Order.”

Mo Hua and Shangguan Xu cupped their hands in thanks.

Mo Hua thought for a moment, then said in a low voice, “Senior Sister Murong…”

Murong Caiyun was slightly stunned, “Do you need something?”

Mo Hua then explained his “plan that he had been considering,” a plan he had thought of all the way here:

“Senior Sister, next time you receive a task, if you encounter a need to hide and explore, a need to arrange and solve formations, a need to use techniques to trap enemies, or a need to use five-element techniques to increase the situation…”

“Can you bring me along?”

The suspended reward tasks at Tai Xu Gate had many limitations.

Especially for newcomers like Mo Hua, who had just entered, whose cultivation was not high, and whose experience was shallow, the requirements were even stricter.

If he couldn’t get tasks, he couldn’t earn merit.

Therefore, Mo Hua could only think of a way to “get in” on tasks with Murong Caiyun.

Murong Caiyun was stunned, “Are you… very short on merit?”

Mo Hua nodded, “I want to earn merit and exchange for formations.”

“But…” Murong Caiyun frowned, “Old Mister Xun has many formations, right…”

“Old Mister Xun said that he can’t break the sect rules and wants me to push myself more, earn merit myself, and exchange for formations myself…” Mo Hua said.

Only he didn’t say that Old Mister Xun actually only allowed him to take “entry-level” tasks.

Old Mister Xun never considered that Mo Hua would go and take these dangerous tasks like pursuing and apprehending, or pursuing and killing, and he didn’t think that he could even complete them…

Murong Caiyun nodded slightly.

Indeed, without rules, no squares or circles can be formed. Even if he was partial to his disciple, he couldn’t break the sect rules.

This was indeed Old Mister Xun’s style of doing things.

“But, these matters are very…”

Murong Caiyun originally wanted to say “very dangerous,” but then she thought of the miserably dead bald eagle and suddenly realized…

Dangerous indeed.

But who is “dangerous” to, it’s really hard to say…

At least now, Mo Hua was safe and sound, and the bald eagle was completely dead…

Murong Caiyun’s eyes flickered slightly, and her thoughts turned.

This task was actually very dangerous.

The bald eagle’s strength could not be underestimated.

Especially with the strange four-image formation tattooed on his head, once the formation was activated, his flesh merged with demonic power, and his strength increased violently, almost comparable to a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Among the criminal cultivators and demonic cultivators she had apprehended over the years, there were not many with the bald eagle’s strength.

What’s more, the bald eagle was also proficient in formations.

Without Mo Hua, they really might not have been able to retreat safely this trip.

On the contrary, Mo Hua was clever and ingenious, good at hiding, good at formations, and had a strong divine sense.

Relying solely on Mo Hua himself, it should be impossible to kill the bald eagle.

But if he wanted to escape from the bald eagle, it should be easy.

So, to be precise, it was dangerous.

The most dangerous was the “bald eagle” who was stared at by Mo Hua and then died.

Next were themselves, these few people.

Finally, it would be Mo Hua…

Murong Caiyun nodded and said, “Okay!”

Mo Hua was also overjoyed, “Thank you, Senior Sister Murong!”

He hadn’t expected Senior Sister Murong to agree so readily.

Shangguan Xu, beside him, was also a little surprised.

He had thought that Senior Sister Murong would definitely refuse this kind of dangerous matter, and even if she agreed, she would more or less push back a few times.

Murong Caiyun looked at Mo Hua and smiled gently.

There was still one most important reason that she kept in her heart.

The absolute formation…

The absolute formation that can increase five-element spirit power!

This kind of absolute formation is extremely rare, very rarely seen.

Moreover, she had almost never heard of any Foundation Establishment disciple in the entire Qianxue State boundary who could learn such a powerful formation.

This kind of formation is close to the origin of the five elements.

The feeling of spirit power boiling, techniques rising in level, might transforming, suppressing evil demons and killing in all directions, once experienced, is fundamentally impossible to refuse.

The sky full of dazzling beauty, and the five-element rosy light filled with killing intent.

Even thinking back now, Murong Caiyun still felt a surge of emotion.

Murong Caiyun couldn’t help but look at Mo Hua, her eyes bright, as if looking at a rare, precious “innate spirit treasure” that could increase the power of techniques.

“It’s a pity, I can’t carry him with me…”

Murong Caiyun thought regretfully.

Mo Hua felt Senior Sister Murong’s gaze, which was a little strange, and he couldn’t help but show a puzzled expression…

After exchanging a few polite words, Murong Caiyun also left.

Mo Hua and Shangguan Xu walked towards the disciple residence, chatting about this and that along the way, for example, which elder had the worst temper, and where the food tasted best…

There were also some “wild flavors” in the mountains, which were the golden-haired chickens raised by the elders in the back mountain. They could be roasted and eaten, and the taste was extremely good, but they couldn’t leave any traces…

Because elders couldn’t privately calculate the karma of disciples.

So occasionally, if you stole a chicken and roasted it to eat.

They couldn’t calculate it, and they wouldn’t know who the “murderer” was…

But if you left evidence and were followed up by the elders and “reasoned” out, then you would be in big trouble…

Shangguan Xu talked a lot, greatly broadening Mo Hua’s horizons.

These were all summarized from Senior Brother’s experience!

Mo Hua firmly remembered them.

When they parted, Shangguan Xu thought of something and said:

“If you have time, you can come to the Shangguan family as a guest. Aunt at home always talks about you, worries about you… whether you are…”

Shangguan Xu’s expression was a little strange, “…whether you have been ‘bullied’… and she always tells me to take more care of you…”

Mo Hua smiled and nodded, “Aunt Wan is really a good person!”

Then he was a little puzzled and asked:

“The Shangguan family… where is it?”

He hadn’t seen the Shangguan family’s mansion until now.

It didn’t seem to be in the cultivation world of Qian State.

The place Aunt Wan took him to in Qing State city was also all the Gu family’s residence.

Shangguan Xu patted his forehead and said apologetically:

“I forgot to tell you, the Shangguan family’s ancestral residence is relatively far from the Qianxue State border. People from the Shangguan family, when they come to the Qianxue State border, generally stay with the Gu family…”

“The Gu family is also a big family, intermarrying with the Shangguan family for generations, with deep origins, and they are very close to each other. It’s not an exaggeration to say they are branches and leaves of the same tree…”

“Aunt Wan took Yu’er to rest temporarily at the Gu family in Qing State city…”

“If you have time, you can go and see them…”

Mo Hua nodded, but suddenly was stunned, “Rest?”

Shangguan Xu’s gaze sank slightly, he paused, and sighed,

“Yu’er, he… is a little unwell…”

“Unwell?”

Shangguan Xu nodded, hesitated for a moment, seeming not too willing to say, but considering that Mo Hua was Yu’er’s “savior,” he thought about it and still spoke,

“Yu’er now… occasionally has nightmares…”

Mo Hua was stunned and frowned, “Nightmares?”

“Um,” Shangguan Xu sighed, “I’m not sure about the specifics. Uncle Yi and Aunt Wan invited people to calculate the karma and also invited alchemists to examine his illness, but they haven’t discovered anything…”

“Moreover, Yu’er can’t leave Qing State city…”

“Once he leaves Qing State city, the nightmares will intensify, sometimes even taking a nap during the day will result in nightmares缠绕 his body, his whole body trembling, and cold sweat pouring out…”

Shangguan Xu frowned, feeling distressed.

Mo Hua also felt some heartache and then asked:

“Has Yu’er been like this since he was little?”

Shangguan Xu recalled for a moment, shook his head, “I’m not clear about that. Yu’er’s identity is special. For matters when he was young, we direct descendants, to avoid suspicion, don’t ask too much…”

Avoid suspicion…

Mo Hua thought for a moment and probably understood.

In the world of families, interests are extremely great, so sometimes kinship is cold.

Some good intentions are also easily distorted…

Shangguan Xu sighed and continued, “I’m not very clear about what happened when Yu’er was young, but since last time…”

Shangguan Xu paused, saw that no one was around, and then lowered his voice and sighed,

“After being ‘taken’ away, I don’t know what he experienced, but the nightmares intensified, and… became more and more serious…”

“Aunt Wan is heartbroken, worried to the point of not being able to eat or sleep.”

“And sometimes when Yu’er has nightmares, between sleep and wakefulness, he will always call out your name…”

“Perhaps it’s because you saved him, leaving him with a remaining life after being taken, so his heart is close and he always thinks of you…”

“Aunt Wan also hopes that if you have time, you can go and see Yu’er…”

“But you’ve just entered the sect, your foundation isn’t stable, she was afraid of delaying your cultivation, so she didn’t mention this matter to you…”

Shangguan Xu’s expression was helpless.

Mo Hua’s gaze slightly condensed, and he nodded, saying,

“Okay, I’ll go and see Yu’er when I have time!”

Shangguan Xu relaxed, “Then I’ll trouble you.”

Mo Hua smiled, and then enjoined,

“Senior Brother Xu, you also need to heal properly.”

Shangguan Xu was slightly stunned, his heart warmed, and he nodded, “Thank you, Junior Brother.”

After the two parted, Mo Hua returned to the disciple residence, lay on the table, and silently pondered.

“Yu’er… nightmares…”

“Can’t leave Qing State city…”

“Was trafficked…”

Mo Hua frowned, feeling a little fishy.

But he couldn’t figure out anything for a while.

Mo Hua sighed.

He still really liked Yu’er, this pure and kind child, and Aunt Wan was also very good to him. Now that Yu’er was entangled in nightmares, Mo Hua’s heart also felt uneasy.

But the ten days of rest were already used up.

Mo Hua thought about it, and then planned to take the next ten days of rest to go to the Gu family in Qing State city to see him.

A bit tired, first 4k words, will rest for a few days to stockpile manuscripts for the New Year, strive not to ask for leave during the New Year.

Don’t spray me, okay (,,.,,)
