“But, what about father and mother…”
Mo Hua furrowed his brows and sighed deeply.
What would happen to his parents if he left?
In the following days, Mo Hua was somewhat listless.
Liu Ruhua noticed Mo Hua’s expression and one day, after finishing dinner and tidying up, she asked him:
“Huar, do you have some worries on your mind?”
Mo Hua was stunned for a moment, hesitated, but in the end, he shook his head.
“Mother, it’s nothing…”
Liu Ruhua shook her head and looked at Mo Hua gently.
“`
No one knows a child better than their mother.
Mo Hua was her child, and even though he was clever and skilled at painting formations, there were some things he couldn’t hide from his mother.
Mo Hua, hesitation in his eyes, finally talked about the Qian Taoist Sect.
“Qian State…”
Liu Ruhua murmured, “Are Zisheng and Zixi also in Qian State?”
“Yeah,” Mo Hua nodded, “But Qian State is very large, and they’re far apart. It’s not certain that we’ll meet.”
“Is that so…”
Liu Ruhua sounded slightly regretful, then after a moment of thought, her gaze became resolute, “Then go.”
Mo Hua was stunned, “But, mother…”
Liu Ruhua shook her head, “The love of parents for their children means planning for their long-term future…”
“You have already completed your Foundation Establishment. Staying in Tongxian City, although I would be happy, I also know that this would be your future.”
“If you were a hundred years old, two hundred years old, I wouldn’t say anything.”
“But you’re only fifteen now… You can’t be trapped here for a lifetime…”
“Although I’m reluctant, I also don’t want to see you waste your talent.”
“Moreover, there’s Mr. Zhuang…”
Liu Ruhua sighed, “You haven’t made it clear, but I know that Mr. Zhuang must have encountered some calamity, and he might be in a life or death situation, otherwise you wouldn’t have returned alone…”
“Mr. Zhuang has shown great kindness to you, no, to our entire family.”
“A favor as small as a drop of water should be returned with a spring.”
“I don’t know what cultivation level Mr. Zhuang has, but I imagine it’s not low. With your current realm, you certainly can’t help.”
“But you must remember this favor.”
“Even if you can’t help now, you must keep it in your heart, and repay Mr. Zhuang’s kindness when your cultivation is higher. Even if it’s beyond your capability, you must do your best!”
The gentle look on Liu Ruhua’s face was filled with determination.
“Alright, mother!”
Mo Hua nodded solemnly.
“But what about father…”
Mo Hua still had some concerns.
“You don’t need to worry about your father at all…”
Liu Ruhua stroked Mo Hua’s head, her voice gentle:
“Your father is a Monster Hunter. Hunting monsters is his livelihood. When you were young, he would spend years in the mountains, fighting Monster Beasts, accumulating scars after scars, earning Spirit Stones to raise you.”
“He silently bore the burden of this family from a very early time…”
“Though he is only at the Qi Refinement stage, it’s not yet time for you to worry about him.”
“What he regrets the most is that he can’t give you the best, neither in cultivation techniques nor formations, he can’t help you.”
“If you truly have the ambition to seek and learn the Dao, he won’t say much, but he will surely be happy for you in his heart…”
Liu Ruhua looked at Mo Hua and smiled slightly:
“Although you’ve completed your Foundation Establishment, you’re only fifteen years old. It’s not time for you to worry about your parents.”
“You just do what you want to do.”
“Don’t hesitate, just go forward…”
“But there’s one thing…”
Liu Ruhua cautioned, “Huar, you must remember, to your parents, your life is the most precious.”
“No matter what, take good care of yourself.”
“Yes!” Mo Hua, moved, nodded and said, “Mother, rest assured, no one can kill me!”
His eyes suddenly flashed, innocence and cunning merged together, one eye foresaw the Heavenly secret, the other was filled with oddity, and within his fate lurked the terrifying blood-red Corpse King.
In the far-off South Yue City, Mining Cultivators burned incense, beseeching strength, and Karmic Protection.
Liu Ruhua was taken aback.
She always felt that Mo Hua was somewhat different just now, but on closer inspection, he seemed the same.
Still the child who was her heart and soul.
Liu Ruhua chuckled softly and pinched Mo Hua’s tender cheek.
“There you go, talking big again…”
Mo Hua squinted his eyes, smiling happily.
With both parents’ approval, he didn’t need to hesitate anymore.
He had made up his mind. He would go to the Fifth-class Qianxue State Boundary, join a Sect, cultivate in the search for the Dao, and learn all the formations in the world!
He would forge a Golden Core, achieve Feather Transformation.
Step by step in the future, He would aim for the pinnacle of the Great Dao.
He would learn formations that others couldn’t learn, and save a master that others couldn’t save!
But one must prepare for a rainy day.
Before going to Qian State, he would take some time to plan carefully, prepare thoroughly, and make sure all was in order…
