Why is the atmosphere so tense.
Gu An shook his head, “I’m not sure either, but the person from the Shangguan Family this time seems to be of high status and must not be offended, so the Family Head has requested the family disciples to be cautious in their speech and conduct.”
“Oh.” Mo Hua nodded.
But it seemed like it had nothing to do with him.
He was just there for a meal.
Besides, being just a little Foundation Establishment cultivator, the Shangguan Family might not even take him into consideration.
Soon, the family banquet began.
Most of the attendees were from the Gu Family, whether they were Elders, Supervisors, Enforcement Leaders, or just ordinary disciples.
Mo Hua often visited the Gu Family, and most of them were quite familiar to him.
Some Elders, like Aunt Gu Hong, Elder Gu, would chat with Mo Hua as they found him adorable and courteous.
Other Elders also mostly knew Mo Hua.
Ordinary disciples, many of them were quite familiar with Mo Hua as well.
Most of them held positions at the Taoist Court, and some had even “fought side by side” with Mo Hua.
Along the way, many people greeted him, whether by saying hello, exchanging pleasantries, or having a casual chat.
Mo Hua felt as though he had come back to his own home…
Gu Changhuai, who had just finished his official duties and hurried back home, sat beside and watched with a complex expression.
Even he almost forgot that this child, Mo Hua, bears the surname “Mo” and not “Gu”…
From a distance, Wenren Wan smiled and waved at Mo Hua.
Mo Hua, along with Yu Er, walked over to Wenren Wan.
Yu Er then threw herself into Wenren Wan’s embrace, affectionately calling out, “Mom.”
Wenren Wan’s face was full of smiles as she pinched Yu Er’s cheek, then turned her head and warmly said to Mo Hua:
“You sit here later, there’s good food.”
“Mhm, mhm!”
Mo Hua nodded repeatedly.
Wenren Wan looked at Mo Hua’s face again and softly said:
“You seem thinner than before, probably due to rigorous cultivation. Later, I’ll ask them to stew some soup to nourish you.”
Mo Hua smiled and said, “Thank you, Aunt Wan.”
Wenren Wan smiled gently, pulled Mo Hua to sit down, and offered him some fresh Spirit Melons and Spirit Fruits.
Mo Hua comfortably sat down, took a bite of the melon, and looked up at the high platform not far away, where two people were seated.
One was the Master of the Gu Family.
Mo Hua had seen him but had never spoken to him.
The other, radiant in appearance, full of dignity, still strikingly handsome despite his age and slightly graying temples, was seated with a subtle sign of wrinkles at the corner of his eyes.
Mo Hua guessed that this person was Yu Er’s grandfather.
That is, the current head of the Shangguan Family, Shang Che.
