"Gu Changhuai!"
Sure enough, Gu Changhuai replied, "Mind your language..."
Mo Hua asked nicely:
"Uncle Gu, did you find anything? Where is the Demon's Cave?"
"Nothing..."
The next day, Mo Hua asked again, "Uncle Gu, have you found anything?"
Gu Changhuai still replied, "Nothing."
After that, Mo Hua asked every day, and Gu Changhuai always replied, "Nothing."
Mo Hua sensed something fishy.
"Uncle Gu, you wouldn't lie to me, would you..."
"People should be honest!"
Silence from the other end.
Sure enough, Mo Hua thought.
"Did you find the location of the Demon's Cave?"
Gu Changhuai hesitated for a moment, then replied, "Focus on your cultivation, don't worry about these things."
Mo Hua wasn't pleased, "If you don't tell me, and if something happens in the future that requires my help, I won't lend a hand either!"
Gu Changhuai sneered to himself.
Asking for your help?
I, as a Golden Core Cultivator and a Supervisor at the Taoist Court, what could possibly require the assistance of a minor Foundation Establishment Cultivator like you...
Gu Changhuai paused for a moment.
The complex and incomprehensible Formation methods employed by Mo Hua when restoring the Letter Token once again surfaced in his mind.
And the solving of Formations, unlocking...
As well as his perception of Formation...
Gu Changhuai held back his impulse to brag and felt it was better as an adult to tell the truth, instead of lying to a child.
Gu Changhuai sighed and replied, "We found it."
Mo Hua perked up, "How did you find it?"
Reluctantly, Gu Changhuai had to start from the beginning:
"We conducted a secret search with a relaxed exterior... Publicly we released information suggesting the Fire Buddha was likely hiding elsewhere, easing the vigilance inside Bishan City."
"Covertly, we deployed more personnel to surveil day and night."
"The Fire Buddha, hidden within Bishan City, would surely seize the chance to escape; he can't hide forever."
"Indeed, a few days later, we spotted a suspicious Cultivator."
"Bishan City had long been sealed off, with every Cultivator's origin recorded, but there was no record of this particular Cultivator."
"He appeared out of thin air..."
"He emerged from the 'Demon's Cave' to scout the situation..."
"We tracked this suspicious Cultivator and found he had circled the city before heading alone to the treacherous mountains north of the city, where he then disappeared..."
"The Taoist Court summoned Formation Masters and various Spiritual Artifacts capable of revealing and peering into hidden places, and we finally discovered the entrance to the Demon's Cave..."
Gu Changhuai stopped there.
Mo Hua urgently asked, "And then?"
