The Tao Discussion Meeting had ended.
Mo Hua had dominated all four corners.
The Five Elements Sect was utterly defeated.
Mr. Zhuang left the Formation Pavilion with his usual composed demeanor, shrouded in a solitary pride with a hint of calm nonchalance.
It seemed that such a minor scene was not worth his emotional investment.
But Mo Hua knew Mr. Zhuang well and was aware that although his expression appeared calm, he was certainly very pleased inside.
With Mr. Zhuang happy, Mo Hua also felt the trip had not been in vain, and he couldn't help but stand tall and proud, following behind Mr. Zhuang.
Seeing his junior fellow disciple gaining the limelight, Bai Zisheng nodded slightly, his face expressing a reflected glory.
Bai Zixi also glanced at Mo Hua, her eyes like rippling water, her lips holding a faint smile.
...
The master and disciples left the Formation Pavilion and returned to their lodgings.
Mr. Zhuang then praised Mo Hua, saying:
"Well done!"
Mo Hua grinned and said, "It's all thanks to Master's excellent teaching!"
Mr. Zhuang felt very gratified.
Having an obedient disciple really made a difference.
Mr. Zhuang added:
"Rest for today, and tomorrow you'll start learning the Five Elements Spirit Formation."
"Yes!"
Mo Hua nodded fiercely, full of anticipation.
Then he suddenly remembered something and seemed a bit worried, "Master, will the Five Elements Sect allow me to learn the Five Elements Spirit Formation?" Experience new stories with
Mr. Zhuang's gaze became slightly stern, "Considering the legacy of the ancestors of the Five Elements Sect, I have already given them enough respect..."
"The rules were set by them, the examination questions were devised by them, and they were even allowed to seek outside help, yet they lost fair and square..."
"If they still prevaricate and do not honor the promises of the past, then they cannot blame me for disregarding past affection..."
Mo Hua felt reassured, but still harbored some concerns:
"Even if they let me learn, they will probably create obstacles, right?"
Mr. Zhuang nodded, "That is to be expected, but such sneaky tactics are tolerable as long as they are not too excessive; otherwise, I won't bother myself with it."
Mr. Zhuang looked at Mo Hua and gently patted his shoulder:
"You will encounter such petty schemes often in the future, learn to deal with them on your own."
Mo Hua nodded, "Yes, Master."
Mr. Zhuang looked a bit tired and closed his eyes to rest for a while before opening them again and continuing:
"Tomorrow, you and your fellow brothers and sisters go to the Formation Pavilion together and see if you can grasp the Five Elements Spirit Formation."
After Mr. Zhuang finished speaking, he also addressed Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi:
"Mo Hua's Divine Sense is sufficient to learn the Formation with Thirteen Stripes."
"As for you two, since your Divine Senses are not enough, try using the method I taught you..."
Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi respectfully nodded in agreement.
Mo Hua's expression shifted subtly, hesitating to speak, but in the end, he remained silent.
However, Mr. Zhuang noticed his expression.
After advising his disciples, Mr. Zhuang paused, then called back Mo Hua as they were about to leave.
"Mo Hua."
Mo Hua, who had reached the threshold, turned back with a puzzled look, "Yes, Master?"
Mr. Zhuang gestured him closer.
Mo Hua walked up to Mr. Zhuang.
After a moment of silence, Mr. Zhuang asked:
"You... Do you want to ask something?"
Mo Hua hesitated, then shook his head.
Mr. Zhuang's gaze softened, seemingly penetrating Mo Hua's thoughts, and he gently said:
"If you want to ask something, go ahead."
Knowing he could not hide from Mr. Zhuang, Mo Hua no longer concealed his curiosity and quietly asked:
