But there was one thing he couldn’t understand, and he asked with a deep voice,
“Why couldn’t we detect you when we entered?”
Mo Hua replied righteously,
“How should I know?”
“If you can’t find me, shouldn’t you look for reasons within yourselves?”
“Could it be that your Cultivation is insufficient, or your Divine Sense is weak, or your vigilance is lacking?”
...
“What does that have to do with me, a child?”
One by one, their faces turned red with shame and anger at Mo Hua’s words, but they seemed unable to refute them.
It appeared that… they could only blame their own incompetence…
They surely couldn’t blame the child for hiding well, could they…
Seeing that they had such “self-awareness,” Mo Hua nodded slightly.
A burly man approached Boss Jiang and murmured in an extremely low voice,
“What should we do?”
“Should we…”
The man’s eyes turned cold, and he gestured with his hand as if it were a knife.
His movements were slight, his voice soft, but Mo Hua, with his powerful Divine Sense, still heard them. Nonetheless, he pretended not to.
Boss Jiang said in a low voice,
“Don’t rush; let’s see how things go…”
He was a bit puzzled about the background of this little cultivator and couldn’t figure out the identity of this little demon.
As Boss Jiang furrowed his brows in thought, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked,
“Young brother, did you draw the formation in this temple?”
The Warm Fire Formation, huh…
After thinking for a moment, Mo Hua nodded and said, “Yes, I drew it!”
Boss Jiang was surprised but more so delighted.
“You actually know how to draw formations?!”
“Hmm…”
Boss Jiang’s expression immediately softened, and he even showed a kindly smile.
A young cultivator…
Who can paint formations…
The price for that is not ordinary…
“Put away your swords and knives; don’t startle the young brother…” Boss Jiang ordered. Then, looking at Mo Hua, he spoke softly and gently, as if the spring breeze were nourishing the rain.
“We are legitimate merchants, just passing through. Fearing being robbed and losing both our lives and wealth, we became a bit too vigilant. Young brother, please don’t take offense…”
Mo Hua nodded, indicating that he didn’t mind.
But inside, he sneered to himself.
Legitimate merchants? I’ve seen my fair share; who are they trying to fool…
Boss Jiang asked Mo Hua to sit down and even brought out some dry food and wild fruits for Mo Hua to eat.
Mo Hua didn’t eat.
Boss Jiang didn’t mind and asked warmly, “Young brother, to be able to draw such a standard of formation at your young age is truly impressive!”
This standard? The standard of the Warm Fire Formation?
His flattery didn’t reach Mo Hua’s heart; Mo Hua responded indifferently,
“Just average…”
Boss Jiang then probed, “Then, young brother, can you draw a first-grade formation?”
Mo Hua nodded, “Sort of…”
Boss Jiang, delighted by the response, said, “Young brother, you surely have a boundless future!”
He then raised his cup sincerely and said, “I’ll drink this cup as a self-punishment for being abrupt and rude earlier, and to apologize to you, young brother!”
Boss Jiang drained the cup of wine in one gulp.
Mo Hua graciously replied, “Don’t worry about it, I don’t take it to heart.”
Boss Jiang continued with more flattery, his eyes glinting, and he asked quietly, “May I ask, young brother, who is your master…”
