Mo Hua was confused and asked, "What’s wrong?"
Bai Zisheng hesitated, "The thing you drew... is it a Formation Pivot?"
Mo Hua nodded, "Yeah."
"What kind of Formation Pivot?"
Bai Zisheng asked curiously, and Bai Zixi also looked at Mo Hua with curiosity.
After thinking for a bit, Mo Hua played coy, "You’ll find out later."
Bai Zisheng muttered discontentedly, "Stingy..."
Then he remembered something, his expression worried, and he asked softly, "Are you going to relocate the city?"
"It’s possible."
"What do you mean it’s possible," Bai Zisheng asked, "If a Big Demon appears, isn’t relocating the only solution..."
Without thinking, Mo Hua asked, "What if it’s not the usual case? Is there another way?"
He wanted to know what else Bai Zisheng knew, whether there were other methods to deal with a Big Demon.
"How would I know..." Bai Zisheng just shook his head, "I asked Aunt Xue, and that’s what she told me."
Bai Zixi also said in her clear voice:
"The Bai Family has cultivators serving in the Heaven Shu Pavilion, who have seen such records. Usually, with disasters like a Big Demon, being able to relocate is already the best option."
There are others who were eaten by the Big Demon, or turned into corpse slaves, or became ghosts and spirits... All of these are human tragedies.
Thinking about this, all three of them grew serious.
Mo Hua glanced at Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi and asked:
"If the city is relocated, will you have to leave too?"
Bai Zisheng nodded, "Once the city is relocated, Mr. Zhuang will definitely go. From the looks of it, he doesn’t seem willing to take me and Zixi as disciples."
"But we must become his disciples!" Bai Zisheng declared with determination.
"Why?" Mo Hua was puzzled.
Bai Zisheng hesitated, then glanced at Bai Zixi. Seeing she didn’t speak up to stop him and had no displeased expression, he solemnly looked at Mo Hua again.
Mo Hua’s expression became serious, and he leaned in to listen.
Bai Zisheng lowered his voice, whispering, "I don’t know either..."
Mo Hua was startled, then looked at Bai Zisheng with disdain.
Bai Zisheng quickly said, "I haven’t finished yet."
He lowered his voice again, "Normally, this isn’t something to be told to outsiders, but since we’re from the same sect... sort of, I won’t hide it from you..."
"My mother instructed me and Zixi to find Mr. Zhuang and to take him as our master, to learn a special Formation."
"This Formation can only be taught to direct disciples, not nominal ones."
"Oh," Mo Hua nodded.
So that was it...
No wonder Zisheng and Zixi were so insistent on taking Mr. Zhuang as their master.
Maybe it wasn’t them who were insistent, but their mother, or even, their family behind them, the Bai Family…
Then this Formation must be of great significance...
"Don’t you want to ask what Formation it is?"
Bai Zisheng saw that Mo Hua just "oh"-ed, seeming a bit dissatisfied, feeling his reaction was too calm, especially since he shared such a "confidential" matter with him.
Shouldn’t you be a little shocked?
Just an "oh," what does that even mean?
Mo Hua glanced at him and said indifferently, "Didn’t you say you don’t know?"
Bai Zisheng was taken aback, "How do you know I don’t know?"
"You just said yourself, ’I don’t know’... That should mean you don’t know. What Formation you’re supposed to learn from Mr. Zhuang..."
"Besides, even if you knew, you couldn’t tell me, could you?" Mo Hua added.
Bai Zisheng, resting his chin in his hand, shook his head at Mo Hua and said:
"Mo Hua, this is no fun, we can’t even have a conversation."
If you finish saying everything, how can I play coy?
Bai Zisheng felt somewhat unsatisfied.
"Alright then." After a moment, Mo Hua thought of something else and asked:
"So, if Mr. Zhuang leaves and doesn’t take you as disciples, what do you plan to do?"
Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi looked at each other and both sighed softly.
