“My master doesn’t allow me to say…” said Mo Hua, “But my master is very powerful, he can casually draw third-grade formations…”
“My uncle is even more incredible, but I’m not at liberty to tell you about him…”
Boss Jiang chuckled to himself, thinking hard.
A mentor at the Golden Core Stage, huh…
Low, but with a talent for formation, a below-average mentorship… difficult to blackmail, so it’s time to find another way to trade…
Having made up his mind, Boss Jiang suddenly slapped his forehead and said in astonishment,
“Your master… on the way here, I seemed to have encountered a high-level practitioner looking for his disciple. He said his disciple was extremely gifted, proficient in formations. Looking at it now, that sounds a lot like you, young brother… ”
“This high-level practitioner might just be your master!”
Mo Hua silently watched his performance, emotionless, and replied,
“Are my elder brothers and sisters with him?”
Boss Jiang said, “Yes, that high-level practitioner was accompanied by a male and a female disciple, both outstanding and extraordinary, truly dragons among men…”
Mo Hua feigned “surprise” with a flat tone,
“Ah, that’s great. They are indeed my master, my elder sister, and my elder brother!”
Even though Boss Jiang felt something off about Mo Hua’s tone, his guilty conscience prevented him from noticing, and he sighed,
“It’s just a pity they took the wrong path…”
“They went the wrong way?” Mo Hua asked with “surprise.”
“Yes,” Boss Jiang said with regret, “they headed towards Qingzhou City, taking a detour. You, waiting here in the mountains, will probably miss them.”
Mo Hua’s expression showed disappointment.
Boss Jiang, judging by Mo Hua’s reaction, affirmed his guess.
This kid looked clever and was certainly cautious, but after all, he was just a child, inexperienced, especially when it came to his master, emotionally invested and confused.
Deceiving him with a lie wouldn’t be difficult…
Boss Jiang suggested, “Your master is a great person, and we would like to establish a good relationship. How about this, we take you to find your master? It just so happens we’re passing through Qingzhou City…”
“Really?” Mo Hua said, full of anticipation.
“Of course,” Boss Jiang replied with a smile, looking amiable and friendly.
Mo Hua’s eyes revealed an excited gleam, “That would be wonderful, thank you, big brothers!”
Mo Hua’s gaze was pure and clear, and his demeanor was as brisk as a young deer’s.
Relieved, Boss Jiang then said,
“It’s getting late; let’s rest for a while. Tomorrow morning, we’ll take you to find your master.”
“Okay!”
Mo Hua nodded eagerly with anticipation.
Everyone then rested in the dilapidated temple.
Mo Hua slept quietly, his eyelashes black, breathing steady, just like any ordinary child.
Boss Jiang stood at the entrance of the temple, far away from him, speaking in a low voice with several cultivators.
