After making sure Big White had something nice to eat, he also went for a meal.
The inn provided food and drink.
Mr. Zhuang and the others had already taken their seats.
Bai Zisheng looked at Mo Hua with a mix of envy and curiosity, asking,
"Why is Big White so affectionate with you?"
Mo Hua said with conviction, "Because I feed him!"
Bai Zisheng shook his head, "That's not it."
It wasn't like Big White was willing to eat from just anyone. At least, when he tried to feed him, Big White seemed to despise it a bit.
Mo Hua asked, "Is it because the food you feed him is too bad, and that's why Big White despises you?"
Bai Zisheng frowned, "Isn't it all just grass? What's the difference?"
"Of course, there's a difference. Some grass tastes good, and some taste bad," replied Mo Hua.
Bai Zisheng frowned, "I'm not a horse, how would I know which grass tastes good and which tastes bad?"
He then looked at Mo Hua in shock, "You didn't taste it yourself before feeding it to Big White, did you?"
Mo Hua looked at Bai Zisheng with a touch of disdain, "I'm not you, why would I be so silly?"
"I'm your senior brother, and you're calling me silly?"
"Who said a senior brother can't be silly?"
...
The two of them chatted back and forth, whispering and muttering.
Bai Zisheng was still puzzled and couldn't help but ask again:
"How exactly do you know which grass tastes good and which tastes bad?"
Mo Hua thought for a moment, then whispered:
"I'm only telling you because you're my senior brother…"
```
"Mmm!" Bai Zisheng nodded repeatedly.
Mo Hua then offered some pointers:
"There's a knack to pulling up grass."
"The grass on the ground, when you look at it with your eyes, mostly looks the same color..."
"But when you use Divine Sense, the 'complexion' of each blade of grass is different."
"Some grasses are pale blue, rich in Spiritual Energy; some are tender green, indicating they are fresh; some are dark green, signifying they are somewhat old; some are red, indicating they are somewhat evil; and yet others are purple or even black, which means they are poisonous..."
"When feeding Big White, you need to pull up the fresh grass. Even the dark green ones can't be too old, and of course, it would be best if you can pull up grasses containing Spiritual Energy..."
Following that, Mo Hua gave Bai Zisheng an indifferent glance:
"The grass you pulled up may look the same, but the aura is red and green, some even poisonous. It's a wonder Big White doesn't mind you..."
Bai Zisheng's eyes were opened to a whole new world.
Pulling grass can actually reveal so much knowledge.
"How do you know all this?" Bai Zisheng couldn't help asking.
Mo Hua looked puzzled, "How else to know? Just look with the eyes, sweep with Divine Sense, and you'll know, right?"
Bai Zisheng's expression was complicated.
Okay then, his little junior brother had tricked him again...
But then, his brows furrowed again.
Is it really so?
He seemed to have also swept with Divine Sense and had never seen the colorful aura Mo Hua described...
Could it be that his Divine Sense was not strong enough?
Bai Zisheng was grappling with the intricacies of pulling grass on one side.
Meanwhile, Mo Hua was blissfully enjoying his meal on the other side.
After being busy for half the day, he was very hungry.
As he ate, Mo Hua suddenly remembered something and asked Mr. Zhuang:
"Master, may I go look for Instructor Yan?"
Mr. Zhuang took a sip of his wine, nodding, "You may."
Having said that, he instructed, "Zisheng and Zixi, accompany him."
"Mm," Mo Hua nodded.
