659: Meteorite (Thanks to the great sponsor Heavenly Immortal Thousand-Year Emperor~)_2 659: Meteorite (Thanks to the great sponsor Heavenly Immortal Thousand-Year Emperor~)_2 “You’re on your own, with no one to defend you when you’re bullied or manipulated in the clan…”
“You’re still stubborn…”
“And you don’t listen…”
The female elder was getting angrier as she spoke.
Gu Changhuai’s expression wasn’t pleasant either.
Mo Hua reminded her from the side, “Elder, you’re getting off topic…”
The female elder was startled.
Mo Hua whispered, “The marriage!”
“Oh, right…” the female elder looked at Mo Hua gratefully, “I nearly forgot; marriage is what’s most important.”
The female elder then told Gu Changhuai, “That girl from Hundred Flower Valley, when you have time, meet her, have a chat, see if you can get along…”
“If you get along, I’ll send someone to Hundred Flower Valley with a proposal…”
“We can’t delay this anymore…”
The female elder pondered and then said with a smile, “I’ve heard that the girl is extremely beautiful, like flowers and jade, almost a Heavenly Immortal, a perfect match for you…”
…
Gu Changhuai’s expression had grown numb.
Like a wooden puppet.
Mo Hua even doubted whether he actually heard anything his aunt said, as it seemed to go in one ear and out the other.
Finally, the female elder concluded:
“That settles it then, I’ll arrange a meeting when you’re free…”
After finishing, she left in a hurry.
Mo Hua finally finished eating the melon in his mouth.
He thought about it, feeling that a beauty like flowers and jade matched well with a handsome and elegant man.
But he wondered if it was true “beauty like flowers and jade” or “like flower” seemed like jade.
Mo Hua felt that Uncle Gu was good to him, even giving him Merit Points, so he figured he should do something. He hinted mysteriously:
“Uncle Gu, I know someone from Hundred Flower Valley, should I… ask around for you…”
Mo Hua couldn’t finish his sentence when a Spirit Fruit was stuffed into his mouth.
It was Gu Changhuai who had stuffed it.
Mo Hua glared at Gu Changhuai, took the Spirit Fruit, bit into it, and found it rather sweet, so he ended up eating a few more bites.
As he ate, Mo Hua remembered the matter at hand.
He sighed and said, “Uncle Gu, not to criticize, but you’re not getting any younger. You should meet her if there’s a chance…”
Mo Hua stopped halfway as he saw that the atmosphere was off.
He looked up and saw Uncle Gu’s face as dark as the bottom of a pot, about to explode in anger.
Mo Hua quickly picked up on the cue:
“If you don’t want to see her, forget it… I’ll be off!”
And with that, he fled.
Gu Changhuai saw Mo Hua vanish in an instant and sighed helplessly, feeling a headache coming on.
…
After leaving the living room, Mo Hua pondered.
Hundred Flower Valley.
Foundation Establishment Late Stage, Inner Gate Instructor, beauty like flowers and jade…
He always felt there was something strange in these details.
As Mo Hua walked and thought, he suddenly saw that the female elder—Gu Changhuai’s aunt—hadn’t gone far.
His eyes lit up and he ran up, calling out:
“Elder!”
The female elder was startled to see it was Mo Hua, then smiled and said:
“My given name is ‘Hong.’ Everyone calls me ‘Elder Hong;’ you should too…”
“Elder Hong!” Mo Hua crisply responded.
Elder Hong nodded and smiled, “Which family are you from? Not the Gu family, right?”
“My surname is Mo.” Mo Hua said.
“Mo?” Elder Hong frowned.
