“That’s true, but we still have to search for him. Moreover, the Taoist Court of Qingxuan City will also send people over to search with us.”
“How many people will they send?”
“Not too many, at most three or four. Too few would be ineffective, too many would seem like interfering with our Taoist Court’s actions, inevitably breaching taboos.”
“Three or four is manageable,” Mo Hua nodded and then asked, “Isn’t the Kong Family sending anyone over?”
Zhang Lan took a sip of his drink and said meaningfully to Mo Hua:
“Aren’t the people from Qingxuan City’s Taoist Court essentially the Kong Family’s people?”
“Oh~” Mo Hua understood.
It seemed like everyone was well aware of the situation in Qingxuan City.
The Kong Family acting through the Taoist Court was legitimate and also saved time and effort.
After all, the actions of the Taoist Court were much more convenient than theirs.
“This matter will probably still require your help,” Zhang Lan added.
“Not going,” Mo Hua flatly refused.
For other matters, he would have agreed for the sake of Zhang Lan’s face.
But for this matter, Mo Hua was certain he wouldn’t help.
For someone like Kong Sheng, he should be thankful that Mo Hua didn’t use the Earth Fire Formation to send him to the heavens, let alone waste time trying to save him.
“Don’t be hasty in refusing,” Zhang Lan said with a smile, “It’s not about saving Kong Sheng, but aren’t you interested in capturing those Sin Cultivators?”
“The Bald Tuo?”
“Exactly,” Zhang Lan nodded, “Leaving him in the mountain is always troublesome. If he gathers more Sin Cultivators and they become a force, it would make your Monster Hunts in the mountain much more dangerous.”
Still, Mo Hua was reluctant.
Zhang Lan then said, “After the matter is concluded, the Taoist Court will give you a reward.”
“A reward?” Mo Hua’s eyes lit up, “What kind of reward?”
“You’ll know when the time comes, and it won’t be disappointing,” Zhang Lan said with a smile.
“Just tell me now.”
Mo Hua was curious about what kind of reward the Taoist Court was going to offer him.
Yet Zhang Lan played coy and wasn’t willing to disclose it, only saying, “Help us capture Bald Tuo, and naturally you will see what the reward is.”
Mo Hua blinked, and with a grin, said, “If you don’t tell me, I won’t help.”
Zhang Lan wasn’t swayed by his tactics and said with a teasing smile, “Then forget it, but don’t regret it later.”
Uncle Zhang Lan sure is crafty… No rabbit, no eagle.
Mo Hua sighed and said, “Fine.”
Anyway, he also wanted to catch that Bald Tuo. With this opportunity coming up, it was perfect for him to fleece the Taoist Court a bit.
