Elder Su shook his head, "Not at all. Whenever you come, young master, you will be an honored guest."
Mo Hua then smiled, "Thank you for your kind offer, Elder Su. I will definitely make time if I can."
Afterward, Elder Su personally escorted Mo Hua to the door.
Only after watching Mo Hua walk away did Elder Su stroke his beard and mutter to himself:
"Seen a ghost I have, where does this junior Formation Master hail from? So young, surely he couldn't have been learning Formation from the womb, and yet, that doesn't seem right either..."
The disciple who had been by Elder Su's side asked softly:
"Master, could he be an imposter?"
"Impossible," Elder Su shook his head:
"Formation skill doesn't lie. If it's genuine, it's genuine, if not, it's not. The moment he began Drawing Formation, I knew for certain that he must be a first-rank Formation Master!"
The disciple felt a twinge of jealousy, "Even if he's a first-rank Formation Master, he's still young. Weren't you a bit too courteous to him?"
"What do you know?"
Elder Su glared at the disciple.
The disciple didn't dare say another word.
Elder Su knitted his brows in thought for a while before slowly saying:
"This young gentleman... I cannot see through him."
"Not only him, but I also cannot see through the two young Cultivators accompanying him, distinguished in appearance and temperament..."
"They seem like mere Qi Refinement Cultivators, yet Divine Sense reveals nothing..."
"I remain at Foundation Establishment, yet cannot see through Qi Refinement..."
"This suggests that they must be wearing some kind of Spiritual Artifact to conceal their aura."
"Such Spiritual Artifacts cannot possibly be owned by Cultivators of ordinary status and background."
The disciple became solemn inwardly, "Could these three young Cultivators be of no small origin?"
Elder Su nodded, then shook his head, and suddenly looking perturbed, said to the disciple:
"Why do you care so much? Just focus on learning your Formation!"
"If you put even half that amount of attention into Formation, you wouldn't still be just an apprentice."
"Of all the disciples I've taken, you're the most blockheaded."
```
"If it weren't for your mother's face, I would have told you to get lost a long time ago."
"Look at others, already a top-grade Formation Master at barely over ten years old. Now look at you, even if you live to be a hundred, you might still not amount to much..."
...
Elder Su gave the disciple a severe scolding.
The disciple left sullenly, quickly saying:
"I know my mistake, I will go and work on Drawing Formations right away."
Then, he ran off hastily, though his expression did not show much panic.
Seeing this, Elder Su sighed helplessly:
"Back in my day, why couldn't I control myself and avoid getting involved in such a romantic mess?"
...
After leaving Elder Su's residence, Bai Zisheng asked:
"Shall we visit the other Formation Masters as well?"
"Hmm," Mo Hua nodded, "Though it's highly likely we won't find any clues, we should still make the trip, at least to become acquainted."
Being strangers in South Yue City, it was good for them to get to know more Cultivators.
Moreover, these Cultivators were all Formation Masters.
Local Formation Masters generally held prestigious positions.
Building some rapport could be beneficial in the event of conflicts.
Without any connections, the likelihood of resorting to physical confrontations in disputes was high.
With connections, even if it's just a nodding acquaintance, negotiations tended to be easier.
This was something he had learned from Master Luo.
Master Luo was highly successful in Tongxian City, navigating among the Formation Masters with ease. Taking his advice was always the right decision.
Bai Zisheng nodded.
Afterward, several of them, holding Elder Su's name card, visited all the influential Formation Masters of South Yue City one by one.
They both inquired about Instructor Yan's whereabouts and took the opportunity to socialize.
