He had brought Yu Er back for a few reasons. Firstly, to let Yu Er see her mother and alleviate Aunt Wan's worry.
Secondly, to avoid having Yu Er return alone and be troubled by Demon Monsters in the middle of the night, robbing him of sleep.
And for himself, not to miss out on a serving of "food" for his Divine Sense.
The last goal, of course, was Gu Changhuai.
"What is it?" Gu Changhuai asked, sighing.
There was no escaping this little troublemaker.
Mo Hua blinked his eyes and said in a low voice, "Uncle Gu, the Taoist Court is pursuing the Fire Buddha—can you take me with you?"
Gu Changhuai knew he would say this, and rejected him righteously:
"No!"
"Why not?" Mo Hua pressed on.
Gu Changhuai glanced at Mo Hua and sighed, "You're too young, your cultivation too weak, newly entered, and most importantly, you're not a Taoist Court member…"
Mo Hua asked curiously, "If I were a person from the Taoist Court, it would be okay?"
Gu Changhuai snorted internally.

The Taoist Court's scrutiny was extremely strict, the requirements extremely high.
Moreover, you're a Loose Cultivator, without status or background, how could you possibly get into the Taoist Court...
Gu Changhuai replied evasively, "Well, if you were from the Taoist Court, I might consider it…"
Mo Hua silently took out a Bronze waist badge.
Its design was simple, rather low-tier, but very familiar...
Gu Changhuai froze for a moment, his brow twitched uncontrollably.
Mo Hua's gaze was cunning, but his face remained serious as he said:
"Uncle Gu, actually... I do have an identity in the Taoist Court…"
