Maybe I’ve overthought it...
If I were Uncle, the most pressing issue now would definitely be to find a way to cross the Heavenly Chasm, break into the Heaven Void Realm, and then use the power to shatter the void, spreading the Taoist Demon across the world.
He probably doesn’t have time to spend here in the Qian Learning State Boundary.
Mo Hua put this thought aside and continued considering the matter of Senior Sister Ye Jin.
After this trip to the Hundred Flower Valley, Mo Hua mostly understood the situation.
Senior Sister Ye Jin did commit suicide.
But she likely came up with such a cruel and painful method of setting herself on fire after seeing the record in the "Taboos of Cultivation" about "a person’s tragic death, harboring resentment, turning into a Fierce Ghost."
There must be an underlying story to this.
Moreover, Mo Hua could almost conclude that Senior Sister Ye Jin’s death was definitely related to someone.
A heavily made-up face appeared in Mo Hua’s mind.
"Hua Ruyu!"
This instructor from the Hundred Flower Valley is very suspicious!
Why was it that when Junior Sister Qianqian and I stealthily went to check Senior Sister Ye Jin’s room where she burned herself, none of the other elders noticed, but only she, an Instructor at the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, did?
Why did she look at me with such caution?
Why did she appear guilty when in Senior Sister Ye Jin’s room?
Additionally, there were some subtle expressions in her demeanor, which seemed very peculiar. She was overly cold to me but unusually enthusiastic towards Junior Sister Qianqian...
I need to find a way to investigate...
Mo Hua immediately took out the Letter Token and wrote to Gu Changhuai:
"Uncle Gu, go on a blind date quickly!"
After sending the message, Gu Changhuai didn’t respond to Mo Hua for a long time.
He probably saw it but didn’t want to bother.
Mo Hua then said, "It’s serious business!"
After sending that, Mo Hua suddenly realized that everyone who urges someone else to go on a blind date thinks they are doing "serious business."
Mo Hua promptly added, "It’s related to Senior Sister Ye Jin’s death."
Sure enough, after sending this, Gu Changhuai replied:
"Really?"
"Really!"
"What’s the connection?" Gu Changhuai asked.
"Not sure yet," Mo Hua replied, "that’s why you need to go on a blind date—to see her with your own eyes, ask about her background, and use your experience as the Dao Court Canon to judge whether this Instructor Hua has any issues."
"Why do I feel..." Gu Changhuai frowned, "that you’re tricking me into a blind date?"
Mo Hua replied speechlessly, "How could I use such a serious matter to trick you?"
After all, it involves the murder case of Senior Sister Ye Jin.
Gu Changhuai nodded slightly, thinking it made sense.
Although Mo Hua was often unreliable, most of the time, he still acted quite dependably.
But Gu Changhuai still refused, saying, "I’m not going."
"Why not?"
"I can go for inquiry, but not for a blind date."
Mo Hua replied with a hint of annoyance, "If you go ’inquiring’ as the Dao Court Canon, won’t it alert the enemy? Blind dating is so much better—natural, flawless, and you can inquire about information justifiably. Even if you ask some offensive questions, people will just think you’re socially inept and won’t suspect anything else..."
Gu Changhuai: "..."
"Uncle Gu, please go. As the Dao Court Canon, it’s your duty and part of your moral obligation."
Gu Changhuai remained silent.
Mo Hua added, "Just go this once. In the future, I’ll handle anything related to Elder Gu Hong."
Gu Changhuai pondered for a long time before finally sighing and relenting:
"Alright..."
Mo Hua’s eyes brightened, "I’ll send you some suspicious points right away. Uncle Gu, try to subtly inquire more about her, and make sure to go on the blind date as soon as possible, the sooner the better..."
Mo Hua wrote a long list and sent it over.
But Gu Changhuai didn’t reply anymore.
However, Mo Hua knew, given Uncle Gu’s character, that once he agreed, he would definitely follow through. He would never go back on his word.
In the following days, he stayed in the Sect, cultivating peacefully while waiting for news of Uncle Gu’s "blind date."
