How could they allow this?
Fire Buddha was slain by the young master at such a great cost.
This credit must not be usurped!
Thus, from the start, they needed to assert that it was Young Master Changhuai “alone” who killed Fire Buddha!
Gu An and Gu Quan understood and looked at Mo Hua with gratitude in their eyes.
Young Master Mo was a great person!
And truly good to their own Young Master!
Gu Quan nodded and said, “Don’t worry, Young Master Mo; I will spread the news right away…”
Mo Hua nodded in satisfaction.
Later, the Pill Masters of the Gu family arrived and examined Young Master Changhuai’s injuries, stating that the Pills had been administered timely, his Qi and blood were slowly recovering, and the meridians were regulated—there was nothing seriously wrong.
Young Master Changhuai himself was a Golden Core Cultivator with a solid foundation, so with some rest, he would be fine.
Then, someone took Young Master Changhuai back to his clan.
The news of Young Master Changhuai “alone” slaying Fire Buddha also spread to the Taoist Court, causing a considerable stir.
A Golden Core Cultivator killing a Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivator wasn’t a big deal.
But this Demon Cultivator was at the Peak of Foundation Establishment, infamous for his evil deeds, rampaging unopposed across the Second Grade State Border…
The situation was entirely different.
Overtly and covertly, many Cultivators turned their attention towards Young Master Changhuai.
Some were admiring, some cautious, and others harbored ill intentions…
…
Upon returning to the clan, Young Master Changhuai took some Pills and woke up early.
Wenren Wan, hearing about his injury, showed great care, personally refining some Pills for his healing.
Especially, knowing he was injured while protecting Mo Hua, her gaze was even more approving.
It felt as if her own little brother had finally grown up.
Young Master Changhuai, over a hundred years old, felt a complicated mix of emotions.
The Gu family, too, was in an uproar.
But once they learned that Young Master Changhuai was not seriously harmed and that he had slain the Demon Cultivator Fire Buddha with his own hands, the Elders of the Gu family grew even more appreciative of him.
Although he had a bit of a temper, among his generation in the Gu family, it was indeed Young Master Changhuai whose talent and methods stood out.
Young Master Changhuai’s emotions became even more complex.
As evening arrived, Mo Hua also came to bid farewell.
He was returning to Taixu Gate.
