Several Mystery Valley cultivators began to take out various divine artifacts, placing them gently on Gu Changhuai’s seven orifices, then affixing Heart-clearing Jade to his forehead to absorb the overflowing evil filth.
But aside from this, they were temporarily at a loss for what to do.
The other people present were equally subdued, their expressions dejected.
This continued for roughly four hours, and just as the situation grew increasingly tense.
A carriage coming from the direction of Taixu Mountain entered Qingzhou City, heading straight for the Gu Family.
A bright young man jumped off from the carriage.
Wearing a Taixu Sect disciple’s Taoist robe, his eyes held depth, his face handsome, yet carrying a touch of innocence.
The young man walked into the Pill Pavilion; the members of the Gu Family noticed and promptly stood, some nodding in greeting, others bowing and saluting as they greeted:
"Good day, Young Master Mo."
Mo Hua returned their greetings one by one, then walked to Elder Gu Hong’s side and looked at Yu Er.
Yu Er seemed to be having a nightmare; his little face was stark white, his pale forehead covered in beads of sweat.
"Scared by an evil spirit, hasn’t woken up, still calling your name..." Elder Gu Hong felt a bit distressed.
"Hmm." Mo Hua nodded lightly and said, "Don’t worry, Elder Hong, it’s nothing serious."
Mo Hua extended his palm and placed it on Yu Er’s forehead.
The struggling Yu Er sensed a familiar presence along with a harmonious and tranquil divine thought, immediately calming down; his inner fear and unease also gradually faded away.
Those demon spirits wandering in the nightmares seemed to encounter a terrible "nemesis," fleeing in terror and disappearing without a trace.
Yu Er opened his eyes, murmuring, "Brother Mo..."
Mo Hua patted his head, "It’s alright, just sleep well for a while, and everything will be better when you wake up."
Yu Er slowly closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep; now his dreams were free from evil spirits’ interference, allowing him a peaceful rest.
Seeing this, Wenren Wan, who had walked into the room, showed a grateful expression.
The other people also gradually heaved a sigh of relief.
Since Mo Hua entered the room, Mr. Mei’s gaze had been on him, and now seeing the previously terrified Yu Er able to sleep peacefully in just moments, his pupils contracted as he couldn’t help but ask:
"This gentleman is..."
Mo Hua also saw the miserable looking Mr. Mei and politely replied, "My name is Mo Hua."
Mr. Mei felt somewhat familiar with the name, then asked, "Could it be... the Array Leader from Qian Learning State Boundary?"
Mo Hua nodded, but still modestly said, "I was lucky to get first place, you praise me too much."
Mr. Mei gasped slightly.
It was really him... and he appeared so young.
At first glance, he seemed merely a disciple who had just commenced schooling. Who could have imagined that he was a Foundation Building Middle Stage genius able to draw formations at the Peak of Nineteen-Pattern?
Mr. Mei furrowed his brow.
Though they had never met, Mo Hua was not unfamiliar to him.
Previously entrusted by a family, he personally foresaw Mo Hua’s cause and effect, even glimpsing the mist-shrouded Tai Xu Heavenly Mechanism Lock.
At that time, he stopped himself, not daring to delve further.
Others might not be aware, but he knew clearly that the Tai Xu Sect’s Heavenly Mechanism Lock was established using the ancient Heavenly Mechanism Treasure, the Tai Xu Yin Yang Lock.
This treasure was quite extraordinary.
The secrets surrounding this young man were undoubtedly complex.
Otherwise, the Tai Xu Sect wouldn’t exert such effort to protect his cause and effect.
Mr. Mei’s attitude immediately became respectful.
Though he was a Golden Core Cultivator and Mo Hua merely in the Foundation Building Middle Stage, he still respectfully bowed in greeting to Mo Hua:
"Young Master Mo, pleased to meet you. I hail from Mystery Valley, the surname is Mei, Golden Core Cultivator, have some knowledge of Divine Thought Skill." Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs novel(ꜰ)ire.net
Mo Hua’s eyes lit up.
He asked, "Mystery Valley, is there a Senior Situ?"
"Senior Situ?" Mr. Mei appeared puzzled, "Are you referring to the Chief Elder True Man Situ?"
"Yes." Mo Hua nodded.
Mr. Mei was taken aback, surprised, "Young Master Mo, do you... know Elder Situ?"
Mo Hua nodded and replied, "We had a brief encounter once, when I was establishing my foundation, Senior Situ offered guidance."
"So that’s it... such deep roots."
Mr. Mei was stunned, then felt a burst of joy.
Taixu Sect’s Array Leader, such a talented genius, unexpectedly had such connections with Mystery Valley.
This was indeed fortunate.
"Later, I must instruct that none of the sect’s disciples offend Young Master Mo..."
"Regarding Young Master Mo’s cause and effect, avoid examining it to prevent transforming this "positive connection" into a "negative consequence."
Mr. Mei thought to himself, now treating Mo Hua even more courteously.
Mo Hua remained polite.
The members of the Gu Family, however, were left mostly bewildered, especially Elder Gu Hong and Wenren Wan, appearing somewhat confused.
How did this child Mo Hua manage to associate himself with people from Mystery Valley?
And from their words, this Mystery Valley Golden Core Cultivator "Mr. Mei" seemed to show great respect for Mo Hua?
Elder Gu Hong and Wenren Wan exchanged glances, both feeling surprised.
After exchanging a few words with Mo Hua, Mr. Mei suddenly recalled something and asked, "What brings Young Master Mo here this time, if I may ask..."
Mo Hua did not hesitate to reply, "I came to see Uncle Gu."
Mr. Mei considered for a moment, then suddenly showed surprise, "Young Master Mo, do you also understand the magic of ’evil expulsion’?"
Mo Hua modestly replied, "I know a little."
Mr. Mei was somewhat astonished, "Truly?"
"Hmm." Mo Hua replied, "Yes, just a bit of understanding..."
Mr. Mei observed him for a moment, then shook his head and sighed, "Young Master Mo, indeed your talent is astonishing."
