But the circumstances force it, there’s no choice but to devour them.
Consuming a little isn’t sufficient, a significant consumption is necessary.
Time was pressing...
Mo Hua thought for a bit and sent a Transmission to Gu Changhuai:
"Uncle Gu, have you investigated the Xiao family?"
Gu Changhuai: "That’s the matter of the Taoist Court, you don’t meddle."
Mo Hua felt a bit displeased, then said:
"Uncle Gu, I’ve already told you about the Water Prison Sect and Elder Yu. Shouldn’t you also show some camaraderie and tell me about the Xiao family matter, so it would be ’reciprocity’?"
Gu Changhuai fell silent.
Being pressed by Mo Hua like this, he surprisingly felt a pang of guilt.
He indeed seemed to have taken advantage of Mo Hua.
After pondering for a while, Gu Changhuai sighed: "I can tell you, but be careful with the Xiao family."
"The Xiao family cultivators, mostly hold positions in the Taoist Court, skilled in the ways of prison and punishment, and their methods are ruthless. Moreover, now, you have a life of the Xiao family on your hands, so it’s best to avoid entanglements with them..."
"Mm." Mo Hua replied, "I understand."
Gu Changhuai sighed.
He didn’t know whether Mo Hua truly understood or was just pretending to understand, but he still said:
"I have investigated, indeed there’s a shadow of the Xiao family in these matters."
"Ye Jin’s older brother, that man named Ye Xiu, when he died on Mistwater River, the Ye family deregistered from the Taoist Court, and the Enforcement Leader responsible was someone from the Xiao family."
"Simultaneously, the case where Crossing River Dragon killed Ye Xiu, who went by the alias ’Young Master Lin,’ was also handled by someone from the Xiao family at the time."
"And coincidentally, the same person handled both matters."
"This person treated one case as two unrelated matters."
"And this person, you know as well..."
"I know as well?" Mo Hua was startled.
He didn’t know many people from the Xiao family, could it be...
"Howling Celestial Dog?" Mo Hua asked.
