Permissions, bounties, Merit Points—these were backdoors given to him by Elder Master Xun.
It wouldn’t be quite right to talk about them.
Furthermore, these matters of “issuing bounties, pursuing Sin Cultivators, exterminating villains” were still too early for them…
They were held back by the family, “not yet worldly,” unable to bear such risks.
But he was different; he was the “Junior Brother.”
Dangerous affairs such as these were best left to him.
Mo Hua nodded with a sense of “responsibility” and then made up an excuse:
“I was checking the class schedule, wondering what classes we have next, what Spells we’ll learn…”
The other disciples were skeptical, staring at Mo Hua.
Their expressions seemed to say, I’d only believe that if pigs could fly…
Seeing their disbelief, Mo Hua had no choice but to say:
“Alright, I was thinking about how much homework to assign you during Formation class…”
Instantly, the crowd erupted with indignation.
No one believed him.
“Mo Hua!”
“Can we still be friends?”
“I advise you to watch yourself…”
“My abilities in Formation are for me to decide, I advise against meddling!”
“Don’t forget the camaraderie among sect brothers!”
Cheng Mo, the “Formation Dummy,” looked almost tearful, “Bro, I beg you, that’s enough, I can’t finish that much homework…”
Mo Hua put on a reluctant expression and sighed:
“If that’s the case, then forget it.”
Cheng Mo’s face broke into a broad smile, hugging Mo Hua’s shoulder, and proclaimed loudly, “Great! From now on, you’re my brother, my real brother!”
…
Two days later, during the leisure days.
To be safe, Mo Hua requested an additional day off, which altogether provided him with three days.
After classes, Mo Hua left the gates of Taixu Gate and met up with everyone at the usual place—the big rock at the base of Taixu Gate’s mountain.
There were five of them this time.
Murong Caiyun, Ouyang Feng, Hua Qianqian, and Shangguan Xu were all present.
Shangguan Xu’s injuries had healed, and he was ready to take action.
Although the Shangguan Family was a great clan with many disciples, Shangguan Xu, a member of the Direct Lineage but not at the very core, had to earn his own Merit Points through personal efforts.
