Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 910: Chapter 622 Little Neighbor_3 Chapter 910: Chapter 622 Little Neighbor_3 Elder Murong said with a faint smile, “Sister, rest assured.”

She glanced at Mo Hua, her gaze somewhat profound.

The child favored by Elder Master Xun was probably beyond her need to look after.

On the side, Gu Changhuai’s expression was complex, feeling helpless inside.

This kid, full of lies, highly scheming, and very dangerous…

At his age, with his level of cultivation, and having just entered the sect half a year ago, he was already capable of joining his senior brothers and sisters to capture a sinister and vicious Sin Cultivator like Hidden elder-second.

It was good enough he didn’t bully his fellow disciples, let alone anyone being able to bully him…

Wenren Wan whispered a few private words with Elder Murong and then noticed Gu Changhuai beside her and said, a bit surprised, “Changhuai, since when have you been here?”

Gu Changhuai felt bitter inside, “I’ve been here the whole time…”

Wenren Wan didn’t understand, “As a Supervisor, what are you doing here without reason?”

Gu Changhuai sighed and said:

“I came to find Mo Hua, for a bit of business.”

Wenren Wan looked puzzled, “You’re looking for Mo Hua?”

Suddenly recalling something, her expression darkened, “Did someone bully Mo Hua, and he went to the Taoist Court to file a complaint?”

“It’s not that…”

Gu Changhuai was weary.

His cousin sister was good in all aspects, but sometimes she was emotional and couldn’t see the facts clearly.

But he couldn’t say more and had to say, “It’s just some minor issues regarding the sect’s reward postings, nothing serious once clarified…”

Wenren Wan didn’t quite believe it but didn’t press further.

After speaking a few more words with Elder Murong, Elder Murong took her leave, saying:

“I must be going now, everything concerning Yu Er has been settled…”

“By bringing him to join the sect, completing some procedures, he would be considered a premature disciple of our Taixu Gate…”

“However, Taixu Gate has no such precedent, and he is still young, so he will temporarily stay in the Disciple’s Residence, taken care of by the guards of your family.”

As for the cultivation…

“Considering he is in the Qi Refinement Realm, it’s imperative to nurture the meridians and solidify the foundation, so we won’t make arrangements for him; you should consider his coursework yourself.”

“Once he has joined the sect and needs anything, he can come to me…”

“We are sisters, no need for formalities…”

Wenren Wan gratefully said, “Thank you, Sister Murong, for making an exception to let Yu Er join the sect, it must have taken a lot of effort, I will pay a visit to express my thanks another day.”

Elder Murong shook her head, “You’re too courteous, Sister, I merely went with the flow…”

From the corner of her eye, she glanced at Mo Hua, who was talking to Yu Er.

Allowing a Qi Refinement disciple to enroll was indeed unprecedented in Taixu Gate.

To break the rule, it required the ancestors’ approval.

Originally, the ancestors did not agree to this matter.

But later, for some reason, Elder Master Xun had heard of this and, foreseeing something, unexpectedly gave his consent and even opened the door to convenience…

She only learned about Yu Er and Mo Hua’s relationship later.

In Elder Murong’s eyes, a hint of realization flashed.

“Elder Master Xun doesn’t say it, but he surely holds this child in exceptional regard…”

This was truly unprecedented…

Elder Murong took another silent glance at Mo Hua and then took her leave.

Mo Hua would be returning to the Sect too.

He actually had some things he wanted to discuss with Uncle Gu.

Mainly, it was to find a way to get him to agree to become an “inside man” at the Taoist Court for him, becoming the “tool person” for issuing tasks.

But now was not the time; there would be opportunities to talk in the future.

Since Yu Er was also about to enter the sect, Mo Hua said goodbye to Wenren Wan and then, along with Yu Er, walked through the gates of Taixu Mountain.

Yu Er parted from her mother reluctantly.

Wenren Wei bowed to Wenren Wan and Gu Changhuai and silently followed Mo Hua and Yu Er into the Taixu Gate.

As a guard, he had to take care of Yu Er’s daily life.

After the group split up, there were no others around.

Wenren Wan’s gaze followed the figure of Yu Er disappearing into the forest, her expression slightly melancholic.

She then withdrew her gaze and glared at Gu Changhuai, “Spit it out, what are you scheming?”

Gu Changhuai lost his usual pride before Wenren Wan, instead becoming somewhat sheepish, “Sister, what do you mean?”

Wenren Wan humphed, “I’ve watched you grow up since you were a child, how could I not know what’s on your mind?

For no reason at all, why are you seeking Mo Hua?”

“I…”

“Don’t make excuses.”

Gu Changhuai heaved a sigh, “I suspect him, of harboring ulterior motives…”

Wenren Wan frowned and said helplessly:

“You, just like your brother-in-law, are too suspicious, that’s why you think everyone has an agenda…”

“How you look at others is how they will look at you; if you play tricks on others, they will naturally play tricks on you.”

Gu Changhuai gave a wry smile.

Seeing him like this, Wenren Wan softened a bit and said:

“I know you’re concerned about me and Yu Er, but don’t go troubling Mo Hua,” she said.

“If Mo Hua ever has any trouble, do help him out a bit; he’s just a child with no family backing.

It’s not easy for him to cultivate in the Sect.”

Having said this, Wenren Wan adopted the aura of an “elder sister,” patted Gu Changhuai on the shoulder, and continued, “If Mo Hua needs you, help him if you can.

ƝονǤօ.ᴄο

Don’t brush me off, and don’t think you can deceive me.”

Wenren Wan looked into Gu Changhuai’s eyes.

Gu Changhuai was quite conflicted and only unwillingly managed to respond after a long pause, “I get it…”

Wenren Wan appeared satisfied, nodding at Gu Changhuai,

“When you’re on break, come back, and I’ll make you some jade crisp pastries.”

Gu Changhuai sighed.

Seeing Wenren Wan about to leave, he asked one more question, “Sister…”

His gaze grew heavy, “Are you really at peace with sending Yu Er to Taixu Gate?”

Wenren Wan was startled, her body trembling.

When she turned back, her originally beautiful and gentle face had lost some color, covered with a layer of reluctance, melancholy, and a trace of…

fear.

“Sister…”

Gu Changhuai had no idea what had happened, his expression one of anxious concern.

Wenren Wan’s faded face showed a wistful smile:

“Changhuai…”

“I’ve…

had nightmares…”

“In those dreams, there’s a sky filled with blood rain, demons dancing wildly…”

“Yu Er looks at me with cold eyes, his gaze hollow, his skin pale as death.

His blood drained, his organs hollowed out, his Divine Sense sucked dry…”

“He asks me in a cold voice, why, as his mother, I don’t save him…”

Wenren Wan felt a tightness in her chest, her expression one of anguish, “That’s in dreams, even if I struggle, no matter how hard I try, I can’t save Yu Er…”

“Under the overwhelming Evil Thoughts, the human heart is too fragile…”

“I can’t save him…”

“So, all I can do is hope…”

Wenren Wan’s voice was a whisper, fading to a barely audible level before finally she lifted her gaze towards Taixu Mountain, her beautiful eyes filled with a humble hope, precious yet fragile.

Gu Changhuai’s heart shuddered violently.

He had just realized that some things, he simply didn’t know!

And his cousin, she wasn’t just being impulsively “rash” as he had thought…

Gu Changhuai took a deep breath, his demeanor serious as he said:

“Sister, I understand.”

…

Inside Taixu Gate.

Yu Er was completely unaware of these things.

He was happily holding Mo Hua’s hand, skipping joyfully ahead until they reached the Disciple’s Residence.

Mo Hua swiped the Taixu Token to enter, then noticed that Little Yu Er had also pulled out a little token, swiped it, and followed him in.

Mo Hua was taken aback, “Yu Er, you live here too?”

“Mhm.”

Yu Er nodded happily.

Mo Hua walked inside, only to realize that Yu Er was still following him, right up to the door of room number fifty of Taiyi in Mo Hua’s residence, before Yu Er stopped.

Mo Hua glanced at Yu Er.

Yu Er pointed with his small hand to the side, “Brother Mo, I live here.”

Mo Hua looked up and realized that the previously empty room next to his in the Disciple’s Residence had been cleaned and the seal on the doorplate removed.

It read: Taiyi, Fifty-One.

Mo Hua opened his mouth.

He hadn’t expected that Yu Er had indeed joined Taixu Gate and had become his little neighbor…

Behind Yu Er, Wenren Wei also bowed his hands and said:

“In the future, please take good care of Little Yu Er, Young Master Mo.”

Yu Er too smiled beamingly, “Brother Mo, please take care of me.”

Mo Hua looked down at Yu Er whose eyes sparkled, and said gently with a smile:

“Alright.”

Since there were cultivation classes later that afternoon.

To avoid disturbing Mo Hua, Wenren Wei took Yu Er into the room next door, room number fifty-one of Taiyi in the Disciple’s Residence.

Yu Er waved to Mo Hua.

Wenren Wei followed him inside.
