Master Luo wouldn’t help him for no reason; it must have been for Mo Hua’s sake.
He didn’t say this, but he understood it in his heart.
After they had tea for a while, Manager Mo asked,
"You didn’t come just to have tea with me, did you?"
Swallowing his pastry and taking a sip of tea, Mo Hua nodded and said,
"I am going to leave Tongxian City and go traveling."
Manager Mo was slightly stunned but not surprised.
Young Cultivators always needed to go out and see the world, seek opportunities, witness the vastness of the Cultivation World, meet all sorts of Cultivators, and explore some unknown inheritances...
However, for Mo Hua to go traveling at his age was somewhat early.
But an extraordinary Cultivator does extraordinary things.
Mo Hua continued, "I came here, firstly, to see you and express my gratitude."
After all, if Manager Mo hadn’t allowed him to earn Spirit Stones by drawing formations back then, his formation skills might not have reached this level.
He also told Master Luo to continue looking after Manager Mo’s business in the future.
"There’s another matter," Mo Hua’s expression turned solemn, "I want to ask about Instructor Yan’s whereabouts."
Manager Mo was a bit startled, but also touched, "You still remember him..."
Mo Hua nodded his head.
Instructor Yan had bestowed upon him the kindness of enlightenment, and his opportunity to take Mr. Zhuang as his master was also thanks to Instructor Yan’s recommendation.
A drop of water should be reciprocated with a gushing spring.
Now that his own mastery of formations showed slight success, he naturally wanted to inquire about Instructor Yan’s whereabouts within the scope of his ability, to see if there was anything he could do to help Instructor Yan.
Manager Mo sighed in his heart: What a good child.
After a long hesitation, he still decided to lay out the truth:
"Actually, the matter is pretty simple. I and Instructor Yan are essentially fellow disciples from the same Sect. He entered the Sect earlier than I did, and we had some acquaintance, but since I joined the Sect not long before it encountered turmoil and was dissolved, I didn’t learn much, so our relationship isn’t that deep."
"Turmoil?"
Manager Mo nodded and said with a sad expression, "Our master was an old Formation Master who treated his disciples kindly and taught tirelessly."
"But he misjudged someone, taking in a disciple with wolfish ambitions who coveted the Sect’s Sect Protecting Faction Formation. That person actually..."
Manager Mo took a sip of tea to suppress the anger in his heart before continuing,
"He committed the act of murdering his master, stole the formation, and fled the Sect..."
"Our Sect was originally a small one with not many people. Those who came to our master, they just wanted to learn formations to make a living. Once the master died, things naturally fell apart, and the whole Sect was gone..."
Manager Mo had a look of bitterness on his face.
"He’s truly a disgrace to all Formation Masters."
Mo Hua’s brows furrowed as he listened, feeling somewhat angry, and asked,
"When Instructor Yan left, did he say he had personal matters to attend to, to seek out this disgrace’s whereabouts?"
"Yes," Manager Mo said with some emotion, "He entered the Sect early and had a deep bond with our master, so he couldn’t accept it. He wanted to bring that traitor to justice to appease our master’s spirit in heaven and also to retrieve the Sect Protecting Faction Formation..."
Looking at Mo Hua, Manager Mo’s eyes flickered, and he spoke slowly,
"That formation is known as the Spiritual Pivot Formation, a formation considered impossible for any Formation Master to learn—a first-grade... twelve-pattern formation!"
