Discussing swords is not child's play.
It's also important to prepare early for team formation.
Mo Hua, without any fuss, went straight to Linghu Xiao and asked, "Xiaoxiao, I'm going to the Sword Discussion Conference, would you like to join me?"
Linghu Xiao was slightly stunned, and then a glint gradually appeared in his eyes. He nodded at Mo Hua:
"Sure."
In just two breaths, within a sentence's time, Linghu Xiao, this once-in-five-hundred-year genius of the Rushing Void Sect, was simply and neatly "roped in" by Mo Hua.
With Linghu Xiao, everything becomes easier.
Mo Hua himself, along with Linghu Xiao.
Add Cheng Mo, add Situ Jian.
That's four people already.
Cheng Mo and Situ, although not the top disciples, that's in comparison to the Four Great Sects.
At least within the Taixu Gate, they are considered "first-class disciples."
Cheng Mo's thick skin can act as a meat shield.
Situ Jian's exquisite swordsmanship, both offensive and defensive, is "versatile," suitable for all tactical needs.
Within the Taixu Gate, there aren't many stronger than them.
Moreover, having mixed with Mo Hua often, they have picked up some of Mo Hua's cunning and insidious traits, and in actual combat, their power could be even stronger.
Plus, everyone knows each other well, so cooperation is more seamless.
In team combat, synergy is crucial.
There's still one person left, and Mo Hua has many options.
After all, he's been the Junior Brother for so many years, with connections at his disposal, he can pull in anyone easily.
There's Brother Yang Qianjun, the fast runner Hao Xuan, the skilled Yi Li... any of them could be added.
But this can be decided later. The immediate priority is to report to Elder Master Xun and the Sect Leader.
Especially "Linghu Xiao," who is currently the only prodigious seedling of the Taixu Gate, cherished by the ancestors of the Rushing Void lineage.
Having "roped" him in... no, having recruited him, it's essential to get the opinions of the master and the Sect Leader.
If there are any problems, they need to be resolved early.
When Mo Hua went to find Elder Master Xun, the Sect Leader was also there.
He stated his plans.
Elder Master Xun frowned and pondered.
Contrarily, it was the Taixu Sect Master who asked Mo Hua, "Linghu Xiao agreed?"
"Yes." Mo Hua nodded, "He wanted to join the Sword Discussion Conference with me a long time ago."
The Taixu Sect Master looked Mo Hua over and sighed inwardly, truly like brine tofu, subduing each other.
Linghu Xiao, though his name has "smile" in it, never actually smiles.
He is cold to everyone.
Whether towards the Sect Elder, the Sect Leader, or the ancestors, beyond respect, he is always indifferent.
In outsiders' eyes, Linghu Xiao is a solitary and proud genius in the Sword Dao.
The more he perfects his Sword Dao, the more man and sword become one, the more one should keep away.
Only Mo Hua can associate with him.
The Taixu Sect Master understood this, as in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, Mo Hua and Linghu Xiao shared a bond of life and death.
Some might even say that Mo Hua had a "life-saving grace" towards Linghu Xiao.
But because of this, the arrangements set by the Sect Leader were all disrupted.
His agreements with Tai'a and Chongxu lines also needed alteration.
The Taixu Sect Leader couldn't help but scratch his head.
He knew it wasn't a good habit.
Because the more he scratches, the more hair he loses.
But looking at Mo Hua in front of him, he couldn't help it.
Elder Master Xun, on the other hand, said nothing; he just calmly looked at Mo Hua and asked, "Have you considered it well?"
"Yes!" Mo Hua nodded seriously.
"Your trump cards..."
"I'll be careful," Mo Hua said.
"Good," Elder Master Xun nodded slightly, "I know, go back and prepare well."
