There weren’t any families with the surname Mo that associated with the Gu family in the Qianxue State boundary…
“I know Aunt Wan.” Mo Hua said.
Elder Hong was a bit surprised but then understood.
Aunt Wan, Wenren Wan…
That must be a connection from either the Shangguan Family or the Wenren Family.
With large families interconnected through marriages and relationships, it’s indeed tough to keep track unless they are close.
Since he referred to that young lady as “Aunt Wan,” he surely wasn’t an outsider.
Elder Hong’s smile grew warmer.
She didn’t meddle much in the affairs of the Gu Family.
It didn’t occur to her to link young Mo Hua with Yu Er’s situation.
Elder Hong smiled, “Have you enrolled in school?”
Mo Hua nodded, “I am a disciple of the Taixu Gate.”
Elder Hong showed admiration, “Being admitted to one of the Eight Great Gates is indeed impressive.”
But…
Elder Hong was again surprised.
The child seemed weak in Blood Qi, Spiritual Power, and had a poor Spiritual Root…
How did he get into Taixu Gate?
With such aptitude, would Taixu Gate really accept him?
However, she didn’t probe further, as it wasn’t appropriate to ask such embarrassing questions upon their first meeting.
“Elder Hong, I have a question for you…”
Elder Hong was slightly surprised but nodded, saying:
“Go ahead and ask…”
Mo Hua whispered, “I often come to the Gu family to play with Uncle Gu, but it seems I’ve never seen Uncle Gu’s parents…”
“Playing with Changhuai?”
Elder Hong gaped.
She even thought about looking up to check if the sun had risen from the west…
Who would want to play with Changhuai?
With his terrible temper, it’s good enough he doesn’t scare people away.
What could they possibly play?
Pretending to be a Court Official, playing with case handling, warrants, and capturing Evil Cultivators?
Elder Hong shook her head, puzzled.
This child knows Wan’er…
Probably it was for Wan’er’s sake that Changhuai was entertaining this kid…
Elder Hong silently thought.
As for Changhuai’s parents…
Elder Hong hesitated, then sighed, “They’re dead.”
Mo Hua was startled, “Dead?”
Elder Hong found a pavilion nearby to sit down and softly said:
“This isn’t a secret, no need to hide it from you, but the specifics aren’t something I can discuss. And don’t bring it up in front of your Uncle Gu…”
