Mo Hua asked Ji Qingbai, “Uncle Ji, do you have a place to stay?”
Ji Qingbai had only just come back to his senses, but his heart was still far from calm.
He had heard that Tongxian City was changing and prospering more each day, but he had not expected it to have flourished to such an extent.
His heart was filled with shock and envy.
After hearing Mo Hua’s words, Ji Qingbai slightly froze, thought for a moment, and then said:
“There’s an old senior whose family has a longstanding friendship with my father’s. I can temporarily stay with him.”
Mo Hua nodded, “If you encounter any difficulties, you can look for my father.”
Ji Qingbai’s eyes showed gratitude, “Thank you for looking after me on this journey.”
“It’s nothing,” Mo Hua said.
After all, he was just scaring people and leading the way, which were simple tasks that hardly required any effort.
As long as everyone was safe, that was all that mattered.
The young female cultivator named Fu Lan, after taking some pills, felt somewhat better, though she was still pale and had difficulty moving. She still went out of her way to bow to Mo Hua and expressed her gratitude:
“Thank you, young brother!”
Seeing that she was a woman alone, having gone through many hardships, seriously injured yet still determined, Mo Hua secretly admired her and asked:
“Sister, can you cook?”
Mo Hua’s question was unexpected, causing Fu Lan to be stunned for a moment before she regained her composure and said:
“My mother runs a tofu shop, and I can prepare some dishes.”
Tofu!
Mo Hua’s eyes lit up, “Then, once you’re healed and if you have nothing else to do, you can go to the Fulu Building in the southern part of the street. You could make some tofu there and earn some spirit stones.”
Fu Lan was taken aback, her heart warmed, and she softly said, “Thank you, but the Fulu Building is quite a large establishment. I’m not sure they would be willing to take me in.”
“No problem,” Mo Hua confidently said, “Just mention my name.”
After all, half of the Fulu Building was his.
Mo Hua spoke with such assurance that Fu Lan was taken aback.
Mo Hua didn’t say much more and waved goodbye to them.
They were weary from their travels and had not yet recovered from their injuries, so finding a place to rest was the immediate priority.
After saying goodbye, Mo Hua and Yu Chengwu walked side by side into the city.
After a while, Yu Chengwu frowned and asked, “Why are you following me?”
“I’m not following you; I’m just looking for Elder Yu.”
Yu Chengwu was stunned for a moment, thinking it couldn’t be true.
It was one thing for Mo Hua to be acquainted with those Monster Hunters, but it couldn’t be that he was also familiar with his father.
But indeed, Mo Hua had walked with him all the way to Elder Yu’s house.
Yu Chengwu pushed the door open, and Mo Hua followed him in, entering as comfortably as if it were his own home.
Elder Yu was drinking tea in the living room and brightened up when he saw the two of them, coming out to greet them.
It had been over a year since Yu Chengwu had seen his father, and his emotions fluctuated slightly. Just as he was about to approach, he saw Elder Yu bypass him and start chatting with Mo Hua.
“Mo Hua, what brings you here?”
Mo Hua nodded, “There is something…”
Mo Hua narrated the incidents that occurred on the road.
With more and more outsiders coming in, identities unclear, and hard to manage, the Monster Hunters faced increasing danger.
For now, they didn’t dare attack local Monster Hunters.
But if things continued to develop this way, conflicts and incidents would be inevitable.
Fighting over prey, murder for loot — these kinds of things would probably happen more often down the line.
The more disputes there were, the more they would affect Mo Hua’s collection of monster blood to make spiritual ink.
With less spiritual ink, fewer formation paintings could be created, and this would slow the increase of his divine sense and delay his progress toward Foundation Establishment.
Elder Yu nodded, “I’ve heard about this issue before and have discussed it with the Court Leader of the Taoist Court. In some time, there should be some solutions considered…”
After talking with Elder Yu for quite a while and receiving a response, Mo Hua took his leave.
Elder Yu personally escorted Mo Hua to the door, cautioning him to “be careful on the road.”
Yu Chengwu, having stood by the side for a long time, finally couldn’t hold back and said, “Father, I’m back!”
Elder Yu glanced at him and frowned, “You’re back, I saw it. I’m not blind.”
Yu Chengwu found himself at a loss for words.
