Qingzhou City was rather bustling.
The streets were noisy, with people coming and going, and stalls on both sides offered medicine, talismans, equipment, and an array of goods, dazzling to the eyes.
Mo Hua and Yu Er walked and browsed at the same time.
Yu Er looked around curiously.
But Mo Hua was pondering:
“How to find Yu Er’s parents?”
“The Gu Family…”
Mo Hua had heard several people mention the “Gu Family” along the way…
The traffickers, including Boss Jiang, had mentioned it, and the Enforcement Leader before entering the city, too…
Could Yu Er be the young master of the Gu Family?
Mo Hua asked Yu Er, “Yu Er, is your last name Gu?”
Yu Er’s gaze drifted from the string of candied hawthorns on the side of the road, and after some thought, he replied after a pause:
“I’m not surnamed Gu.”
“Then is your mother surnamed Gu?”
Yu Er shook his head.
Mo Hua frowned.
If he’s not surnamed Gu, then there is no connection with the Gu Family…
Seeing Mo Hua, Yu Er said with a look of remorse, “Brother, I’m sorry, my mother told me not to disclose our last name…”
“It’s alright.” Mo Hua reassured him with a smile, “When you are out and about, you must be vigilant, even with me.”
Yu Er still felt guilty.
Mo Hua then bought Yu Er a string of candied hawthorns.
Yu Er immediately cheered up, biting and chewing, his little mouth turned red.
“First time eating it?”
“Mhm.” Yu Er nodded, “Mother won’t let me eat it.”
Mo Hua sighed.
He was getting confused.
Who exactly were Yu Er’s parents?
Not allowing him to eat candied hawthorns…
Was it because the family was too poor to afford it, or too rich and worried about him getting sick from it?
“Yu Er, is your house big?”
“Mhm!” Yu Er stretched out his tiny arms, making a big circle, “Very big, very big!”
Mo Hua nodded, “Then he must be a child from a large noble clan…”
But that didn’t seem certain either…
A child’s perception of big is different from an adult’s.
When he was little, he thought Tongxian City was very large, and the road from the south to the north of the city seemed long…
But now that “very long” road, he could finish walking in half an hour…
“Do you have any recollection of Qingzhou City?”
Mo Hua asked again.
Yu Er, licking his candied hawthorn, tried hard to recall and then shook his head, “I don’t know, I think they’re all pretty much the same…”
Mo Hua was taken aback, then nodded.
That indeed was true.
After seeing many large and small Immortal Cities, they did seem all quite similar.
But this made things difficult…
Without any clues, it was hard to search…
Yu Er thought for a moment, then his eyes lit up, “Brother! I remember now! I have relatives in Qingzhou City, my mother said she brought me here to look for relatives!”
“What sort of relatives?”
Yu Er shook his head.
“What’s their last name?”
Yu Er still shook his head.
Mo Hua sighed.
Well, at least it was a clue.
Afterwards, Mo Hua inquired further and soon found a noodle shop at the entrance of Qingzhou City to sit down.
He had asked around, and the Gu Family was the most powerful clan in Qingzhou City, no, and even in several other cities around the Qian Xue State Boundary.
