In his heart, he was somewhat curious about what kind of banquet Elder Su could prepare, and if there would be any delicacies.
Elder Su escorted Mo Hua out. Just as they reached the courtyard, an exquisitely dressed cultivator appeared, of median age, handsome in appearance, gentle, and refined.
Mo Hua was a bit surprised, "Lu Family Head?"
The person was indeed the Lu Family Head who Mo Hua had previously met.
And the guest that Elder Su was going to entertain must have been this Lu Family Head.
Mo Hua had learned from Elder Su that the name of Lu Family Head was Lu Chengyun.
When Lu Chengyun saw Mo Hua, he wasn't surprised, and he had a smile on his face as he said warmly,
"Little Mister Mo."
They exchanged greetings and salutations.
After exchanging a few polite words, Mo Hua was about to leave when Lu Chengyun stops him.
"The young gentleman can join us for some tea."
Mo Hua somewhat puzzledly asked, "Aren't you here to discuss matters with Elder Su?"
Lu Chengyun said, "It's not a matter of urgency, just exchanging some insights on Formation. Since the young gentleman is also a Formation Master with notable expertise, why not join in the conversation?"
After thinking it over, Mo Hua agreed.
Clearly, there were issues with Lu's mines.
But he wasn't familiar with the Lu Family.
Interacting with the Lu Family Head might reveal some clues.
However, as the Family Head, Lu Chengyun naturally had his own deep stratagems. Throughout the conversation with Mo Hua, he didn't mention anything about the mines or mining cultivators, and simply talked about Formation.
Moreover, Lu Chengyun's Formation expertise also surprised Mo Hua.
It's not always possible for the head of a family involved in many affairs to find the time and thought to delve into Formation, but Lu Chengyun's knowledge in the field seemed to be somewhat deeper than even Elder Su's.
No wonder he and Elder Su were so close.
After discussing more about Formation, Lu Chengyun's attitude towards Mo Hua became even more amiable, and his eyes couldn't hide his admiration.
Lu Chengyun paused, then suddenly asked:
"Young Mister Mo, have you ever been married?"
Mo Hua, who was drinking tea, choked on his sip, "Not yet... not yet..."
Lu Chengyun's eyes brightened even more, "I wonder..."
Mo Hua coughed and said with difficulty:
"I'm still young, not considering it yet."
Lu Chengyun showed no displeasure, but rather a knowing look, and discreetly handed Mo Hua a booklet.
"This is part of the Lu family genealogy."
Lu Chengyun didn't finish his sentence, just giving Mo Hua a meaningful look.
Mo Hua opened the genealogy gently and found that it recorded the direct descendants of the Lu family, all of whom were eligible-aged females.
Turning to the back, there were portraits of beautiful female cultivators.
Mo Hua felt somewhat helpless.
Lu Chengyun smiled nonchalantly, while Elder Su silently drank his tea, pretending to see nothing.
After finishing the tea and discussing Formation, Lu Chengyun stood up to leave.
Before leaving, Lu Chengyun patted Mo Hua and softly said:
"No rush, take your time to look."
Mo Hua didn't know what to say.
As Lu Chengyun turned to leave, it seemed as if he suddenly remembered something and turned back to Mo Hua:
"I have a question for the young gentleman, if I may ask?"
Mo Hua was taken aback and nodded, "Please ask."
"It may be a bit presumptuous."
"It's fine."
Lu Chengyun nodded and asked:
"Young Mister Mo, you manage to keep your aura concealed, impervious to Divine Sense exploration. Is it perhaps... a Spiritual Artifact that conceals your aura?"
Mo Hua's eyes flickered slightly, and then he earnestly said:
"Yes, you have keen eyesight, Family Head!"
Lu Chengyun let out a sigh of relief, then bowed and said, "I take my leave, and another day when there's time, I'd like to discuss Formation again with the young gentleman."
Mo Hua also bowed, "Lu Family Head, take care."
After Lu Chengyun left, Elder Su also slowly exhaled, and said to Mo Hua:
"He is the Family Head, so it's within his duties, understandable, but..."
Elder Su hesitated.
"But what?" Mo Hua asked curiously.
Elder Su thought for a moment, then sighed:
"The Lu Family is rife with disputes. If you can avoid getting involved, it's better to stay out."
Mo Hua nodded.
Elder Su looked at Mo Hua, his gaze focusing slightly, his expression complex, and he slowly asked:
"Young Mister Mo, you've come to me with a purpose, haven't you?"
Mo Hua was taken aback, "How did you know?"
Elder Su expressionlessly said:
"In these few days coming to my place, beating around the bush, you likely wanted to ask something ..."
"But the matter is somewhat secretive, not something easily spoken about, so you didn't ask directly. Instead, you sought some pretext, talking roundabout, trying to get some information out of me."
Mo Hua fell silent.
Elder Su's gaze turned chilly.
He knew that this Junior Formation Master must have had some agenda.
Elder Su picked up the teacup, skimmed off the froth, and his gaze floated unpredictably like the tea water:
"Young Mister Mo, after all, what do you intend to do?"
At this point, there was no need for Mo Hua to hide his intention.
He said solemnly:
"Elder Su, I want to go to a brothel!"
Elder Su sprayed out a mouthful of tea.
