Despite appearing kind and cute, there was also a sense of incongruity, with a fathomless Divine Sense that was elusive.
Thus, along the way, even though everyone acted normally, they all felt a bit wary at heart.
But now, talking about a "crush," "Junior Sisters," and such...
Mo Hua's pale cheeks had suddenly turned red, the blush subtly accentuating his fair lips and teeth, his eyes and brows as if painted.
There was also a hint of shyness and awkwardness.
He simply looked like an innocent and bashful Junior Brother.
Everyone's heart eased at the sight, and they couldn't help but smile.
Mo Hua saw everyone looking at him with a smile, his face growing redder as he argued,
"Really, it's not!"
"Okay, okay..."
"You don't believe me?"
"We believe, we believe..."
"Then why are you still laughing?"
...
The atmosphere inside the carriage became much more cheerful...
...
On the main road of Qian State.
The carriage continued non-stop, and despite feeling a bit slow, the four large horses trotted briskly, and the actual speed was not slow at all.
Around evening, the carriage entered the Qian Xue State Boundary.
Ouyang Feng, a Tai'a Sect disciple, and Hua Qianqian, a Hundred Flower Valley disciple, would need to disembark along the way.
"Senior Sister Murong, Junior Sister Qianqian, Junior Brother Shangguan, Junior Brother Mo..."
Ouyang Feng listed everyone's names one by one in a formal and polite manner before bowing and saying,
"I'll take my leave now, if there's a chance to meet on a mission in the future..."
Everyone bowed their goodbyes as well.
Ouyang Feng gave Mo Hua a final glance, hesitated for a moment, but still spoke up,
"Junior Brother Mo, when you're free, come visit our Tai'a Sect. We can enjoy the scenic views and exchange insights on cultivation. I would be happy to play host..."
"Thank you, Senior Brother Feng!" Mo Hua was thrilled and nodded continuously,
"Definitely, definitely!"
Next was Hua Qianqian.
She was wearing a Brocade Hundred Flowers Robe, elegant in appearance. Though she seemed quiet and reticent, that was only because she wasn't acquainted.
Once familiar, she was surprisingly lively.
After bidding farewell to everyone, she specifically said to Mo Hua, "Junior Brother, you should also come and visit our Hundred Flower Valley when you have the time..."
Mo Hua paused, "Hundred Flower Valley... isn't that all female cultivators? Men aren't allowed in, right?"
Hua Qianqian smirked mischievously, "We'll find you a skirt of a female disciple to wear, apply some rouge, put on a little makeup, and dress you up as a 'little beauty.' Then naturally, you can enter."
Mo Hua was somewhat annoyed and firmly stated,
"I certainly will not!"
