Was more like the last successor of the Water Prison Sect than Yu Canghai, the Water Prison Sect Elder...
And opening the Water Prison Forbidden Box...
Mo Hua was initially unsettled by Master Xiao’s sudden words, then quickly calmed himself and continued to feign unconsciousness.
But it was already too late; this emotional fluctuation had been noticed by Master Xiao.
Master Xiao suddenly turned his head, eyes narrowing, silently staring at Mo Hua’s face.
Mo Hua felt somewhat awkward under his gaze, thinking they were all smart people, further pretending would be impolite, so he murmured, opened his eyes in a weary manner, seemingly just awakened.
Master Xiao’s eyelid twitched, saying indifferently: "Little brother, you’ve awakened?"
Mo Hua frowned, pretending to be confused and in pain, "Master Xiao... Where is this place..."
Master Xiao asked expressionlessly, "When did you wake up?"
Seeing him ask that, Mo Hua decided to stop pretending, saving his acting skills for better use.
Acting was indeed tiring.
Mo Hua replied: "Just woke up recently..."
"So," Master Xiao’s face darkened, "you heard everything I said earlier?"
"Heard what?" Mo Hua feigned confusion.
Immediately, Water Yama wanted to pinch Mo Hua’s neck again, hatingly saying:
"Big Brother, this brat is exceedingly cunning; keeping him is really a disaster, better to kill him now!"
Master Xiao said coldly, "I told you, don’t touch him!"
Mo Hua nodded repeatedly in agreement:
"Yes, yes, my physical body is very weak, you use even a little force, perhaps I’ll lose my life, won’t be able to be a hostage."
Water Yama gritted his teeth in anger.
With deep eyes, Master Xiao gazed at Mo Hua, his mind restless.
He really couldn’t kill Mo Hua now.
This White Bone Maze was fraught with dangers, relying on his own Golden Core cultivation might not be sufficient to escape; he needed to borrow Gu Changhuai and Xia Canonical Official’s strength.
And killing Mo Hua would be completely tearing apart their relationship.
Both sides would fight to the death, ultimately perishing in this White Bone Land.
This brat clearly understood the stakes, which was why he was so composed.
However...
Master Xiao’s gaze sharpened, "My pupil skill seems to have no effect on you, young sir?"
"How could it have no effect?" Mo Hua clearly disagreed, "Master Xiao’s pupil skill is incredibly powerful, far superior to Water Yama. I merely glanced at it and was unconscious for most of the day..."
"Then why now are you completely fine?" Master Xiao frowned and asked.
Reasonably speaking, even if truly unconscious for most of the day, the Divine Soul being damaged should have significant aftereffects.
Mo Hua’s thoughts turned, and he replied: "A teacher in my sect taught me the Meditation Technique, which can clear distractions, calm the mind."
Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Master Xiao’s pupils trembled.
"Meditation Technique?!"
