How is that possible?
How could such a large family as the Lu Family allow a son-in-law who joined through marriage to become the family head?
And Mo Hua had never heard any rumors about this before.
Mo Hua asked, "How do you know this?"
Shuisheng replied, "My mother told me."
Mo Hua felt a slight shock in his heart.
Shuixian knew about this...
"Does anyone else know?" Mo Hua quickly asked again.
After thinking for a while, Shuisheng said, "In the Hundred Flower Tower, Aunt Xuefang and Sister Danxiang seem to know as well."
"Then they..."
Shuisheng sighed, "They are all dead."
Mo Hua's gaze slightly hardened, "Have you told anyone else about this matter?"
Shuisheng shook his head, "No. I don't have many friends, and I'm not on good terms with my fellow sect members. I haven't even mentioned it to my master..."
Mo Hua relaxed slightly, but then his expression grew serious again as he cautioned:
"Don't ever talk about this matter with anyone else, it's best to forget it and never bring it up again."
Although Mo Hua was not very familiar with the clan, he knew that it is generally taboo for a family head to be someone who had joined the family through marriage.
Once this gets out, even Shuisheng could be killed to silence him.
Shuisheng didn't understand, but seeing Mo Hua's serious expression, he nodded earnestly.
Suddenly, something occurred to him, and he asked with a frown:
"Is my mother's death... also because of this matter?"
Mo Hua shook his head, "Not necessarily..."
Though he said this, Mo Hua estimated in his heart that Shuixian's death was very likely related to the Lu Family Head as well.
Mo Hua looked at Shuisheng and gave further instructions:
"During these days, stay at the mansion, follow your master, do not go out, do not speak indiscreetly, and concentrate on learning Formation techniques."
"Mastering Formation techniques is the most important thing; your mother would be pleased at that."
Shuisheng fell silent for a moment, then slowly nodded his head.
However, Mo Hua's gaze gradually turned colder, and his expression still showed some disbelief.
The Lu Family Head... Lu Chengyun.
Joining through marriage...
If it was true that he had joined the family through marriage, then this Lu Chengyun was very likely the traitor from the Minor Hidden Spirit Sect!
But the question is, how is it possible?
The Lu Family is so extensive, with numerous legitimate heirs, why would they do such a thing?
Let someone who joined by marriage become the family head?
Or perhaps...
What did Lu Chengyun do to be able to go against all opposition and successfully become the head of the Lu Family?
This matter is more complicated than previously thought.
If the traitor from Minor Hidden Spirit Sect were merely an Elder or a sponsored guest, once exposed by Mo Hua, he could even use Lu Chengyun's hand to eliminate him.
But now, this traitor could very well be the Lu Family Head himself.
From what it looks like now, being enemies with Lu Chengyun is equivalent to being at odds with the entire Lu Family.
Being enemies with the Lu Family...
Should he take down the entire Lu Family?
Mo Hua furrowed his brow, "This is a bit troublesome..."
Mo Hua was lost in thought for a long time, then suddenly remembered that right now Lu Chengyun was at the Su Mansion, ahead, discussing affairs with Elder Su over tea.
"I need to run first!"
Mo Hua made a decisive decision in his mind.
Lu Chengyun's cultivation was profound, barely short of the middle phase of the Foundation Establishment stage.
Not to mention he was the traitor from the Minor Hidden Spirit Sect, he also understood Formation techniques, and was the Lu Family Head. Even if his Cultivation Technique and Taoist Skills weren't as sophisticated as those of his juniors born into noble clans, they certainly wouldn't be lacking.
Being alone, it is better not to take risks when unnecessary; the best thing to do is to make a clean getaway.
But he must not appear too anxious, lest he raise suspicion from Lu Chengyun.
After reminding Shuisheng a few more times, Mo Hua got up and left, heading to the front courtyard, and took his leave from Elder Su with great composure:
