The next day, Mo Hua went to the Taoist Court to make an accusation.
He found Situ Fang and recounted how the grey-clothed cultivator hired an assassin to commit murder, hid in the brothel, and even caused the death of a female cultivator from the brothel.
Situ Fang stared at Mo Hua in shock, "How do you know so much?"
The Taoist Court hadn't uncovered anything yet.
Mo Hua said, "I went to the brothel, and by chance, I accidentally happened to overhear..."
Situ Fang's eyes widened, "You went to the brothel?!"
"Just to listen to the music, watch the dancing. It got late, so I went home..." Mo Hua said, a bit guiltily.
Situ Fang's gaze grew stern, "You can't go there again!"
Walking by the river often leads to wet shoes. Situ Fang feared Mo Hua would pick up bad habits.
Mo Hua nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, I was there on serious business. Who would go to the brothel for no reason? I am very busy."
He had to cultivate, learn formations, cook for his master and fellow disciples, fry pine nuts for Old Kui, and indeed, he also had to feed grass to Big White.
He was indeed very busy.
Situ Fang sighed, "Fine, as long as you are aware of what you're doing."
Mo Hua then asked, "Have you thought about how to capture that grey-clothed cultivator?"
Situ Fang frowned, "The Taoist Court will figure out a way to handle this, you don't need to..."
"Is the Taoist Court really up to the task?"
Mo Hua's gaze was somewhat profound.
Situ Fang paused, thought it over with patience, and seemed unsure.
The grey-clothed cultivator had been hiring murderers and trafficking in bodies for decades. What was his identity, what background did he have, and what was his connection to the Taoist Court? She was not certain either.
If there were any collusion with the internal members of the Taoist Court, reporting to the Court Leader would be like startling the snake in the grass. Even if they acted meticulously, it would likely be a case of wasted effort, bringing no fruitful result.
After pondering for a moment, Situ Fang said, "I will call over some people from my clan."
"From the clan?"
Situ Fang nodded, "The Situ Family has a Foundation Building Cultivator in South Yue City. I'll ask him to make a move, and then report to the Taoist Court afterwards, to take action first and report later."
Mo Hua then felt at ease.
He was a bit skeptical of the Taoist Court in South Yue City, but he trusted Situ Fang.
Mo Hua relayed all the information about Qinglan to Situ Fang without missing a single detail and then discussed the timing, location, and method of the capture.
After everything was agreed upon, Situ Fang thought for a moment and said to Mo Hua:
"On the fourth day of the month, you'd better not go."
Mo Hua shook his head, "I need to be there, and besides, how would you contact Sister Qinglan without me?"
Situ Fang hesitated, "But the other party is after all at Foundation Establishment..."
"Don't worry," said Mo Hua confidently, "Even if he is at Foundation Establishment, he might not discover me. I could still escape if I wanted to, and besides, I have my fellow disciples."
"Your fellow disciples are also just Qi Refinement, aren't they..."
"Although they are at Qi Refinement, they are very powerful."
Thinking of the profound spiritual power within Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi, Situ Fang let out a sigh and conceded:
"Alright then."
When Mo Hua made up his mind, all she could do is offer advice.
The child's capabilities now seemed to surpass her own, at least in terms of formations.
If he wanted to go, he must have a plan in mind.
When the time came, she would just need to remind the Elder of the Situ Family to keep an eye on Mo Hua and prevent him from getting hurt.
Even if there was a battle at Foundation Establishment, as long as Mo Hua kept his distance, he should be safe.
And Mo Hua was very good at keeping out of harm's way.
She had a profound memory of this from their time in Big Black Mountain.
...
After finalizing the plan, Situ Fang began to deploy her people and arranged some Enforcement Leaders to scout out the Hundred Flower Tower in advance.
These cultivators were all trusted by her, and some were even from the Situ Family.
At the same time, she also paid a visit to South Yue Sect and called out the Elder from the Situ Family who was a guest there.
Meanwhile, Mo Hua continued cultivating and practicing formations.
And he specifically prepared a set of the unique Compass Parent-Child Formation.
This formation would serve a great purpose for him.
When the fourth day arrived and night fell, Mo Hua met with Situ Fang and they entered the Hundred Flower Tower together.
