Shuisheng's eyes widened, "No way... my master is a top-tier Formation Master."
Mo Hua whispered, "You're father and son, how different could your talents be? If he can become a top-tier Formation Master, surely you can too."
Shuisheng wouldn't have believed this statement normally.
Even among fathers and sons, talents can differ greatly.
But coming from Mo Hua, who became a top-tier Formation Master in his teens, the credibility suddenly shot up.
Shuisheng looked forward with some hope, mumbling:
"I... can I really become a top-tier Formation Master?"
Mo Hua nodded, "Yes, but your foundations are weak, you need to work harder, take more time..."
"If not in twenty years, then in thirty years; if thirty years are not enough, then fifty years; if not in fifty, then a hundred years..."
"As long as you stay focused and keep going, you will definitely become a top-tier Formation Master, and your mother's spirit will be happy."
"Top-tier Formation Master..."
Shuisheng's eyes began to shine.
"Yes." Shuisheng nodded earnestly.
Mo Hua smiled with satisfaction.
Shuisheng's talents, compared to Elder Su, were indeed lacking somewhat.
But not to the extent that he couldn't learn Formation.
Moreover, he had a master and father who was a Sect Elder with Foundation Establishment cultivation and a top-tier Formation Master.
With inheritance and guidance, as long as he put a lot of effort and hard work into it, it wasn't too difficult to become a top-tier Formation Master in the future.
The problem with Elder Su was that he was too eager for his son's success, and therefore lost his equanimity, which inevitably led to some overly aggressive teaching methods and improper education.
As for Shuisheng, he was just a bit reclusive and stubborn.
With a poor foundation and relentless rote learning without asking questions, it's natural that one would not learn well.
This father and son have made simple matters complex, and that is why they are displeased with each other.
Elder Su has a relatively clear mind, but when it comes to his only beloved child, it's inevitable to be trapped within the situation without realizing it.
Mo Hua thought for a while and then instructed:
"Just remember, focus on learning the Formation, and do not concern yourself with anything else."
"Whether your master praises you or scolds you, you don't need to mind either."
"If there's something you don't understand, ask. If he's unwilling to explain, keep asking. Don't feel embarrassed; keep asking until you understand."
"If he nags, complains, or reproaches you, take it as the wind by your ear."
"The most important thing is just one, and that is, you must learn to master the Formation!"
Shuisheng suddenly saw the light and looked at Mo Hua, nodding solemnly.
Seeing that he had understood, Mo Hua also narrowed his eyes and smiled.
A moment later, Mo Hua thought of something, reigned in his smile, and said slowly:
"Shuisheng, I want to ask you a question."
Shuisheng smiled and said, "Gentleman Mo, feel free to ask me anything you want to know."
Mo Hua, with a hint of apology, asked:
"How did your mother die?"
Shuisheng was stunned; his smile disappeared from his face, and his expression turned gradually to pain, then firmly said:
"My mother was murdered!"
Mo Hua frowned slightly, "Have you told your master this?"
Shuisheng nodded, "I've said it many times. I've always told him that my mother was murdered."
"At first, he believed it, but gradually, he stopped believing..."
Mo Hua's eyes narrowed slightly, "Do you know who killed her?"
Shuisheng shook his head, his expression one of disappointment, "I don't know..."
Then his gaze became hateful, "But I know it must be the Lu Family!"
Mo Hua was slightly shocked, "The Lu Family?"
"It's the Lu Family!"
Shuisheng said with a sad expression, "Hundred Flower Tower is run by the Lu Family, not just my mother; many of the aunties and sisters there have sold themselves to the Lu Family."
"The Lu Family would hit and scold them whenever they wanted."
"Even if someone was tortured to death, the Taoist Court wouldn't care."
"My mother, like the other aunties and sisters, definitely died at the hands of the Lu Family!"
