Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 1210: Chapter 715: Banquet_3

Wenren Wan’s eyes were slightly red, her delicate hands clenched until they turned white.

Mo Hua looked very angry. Just as he was about to say something, he found that the female elder, full of triumph, had already turned her gaze towards him at some point.

“This young master, may I ask which family you belong to?”

Mo Hua was taken aback.

Without waiting for Mo Hua to answer, the female elder mocked, “With such an inferior Spiritual Root, I see, you must not be a son of a noble family. You’re probably just some wild kid from nowhere.”

Then, she turned her gaze back to Wenren Wan and sighed, “This is where you’re wrong. A Cultivator seeks Tao Cultivation with law, wealth, companions, and land. The ‘companion’ here refers to Taoist Friends of like mind.”

“Members of noble families, since childhood, should be very selective about the friends they make.”

“Of humble origins, low status, unremarkable Bloodline, and inferior Spiritual Roots, such people do not only have no value, they are also unworthy of a seat at the table.”

“What’s more, this child has even cruder manners than Yu Er, lacks upbringing—aren’t you afraid that the Direct Lineage of the prestigious Shangguan Family will be led astray by this youngster?”

Although Yu Er did not fully understand, she knew that her Brother Mo was being slandered, and her little face turned pale with anger.

Wenren Wan could not hold back either.

If it were her own matter, she would endure it.

But Mo Hua was Yu Er’s benefactor.

When Yu Er was kidnapped, it was Mo Hua who rescued her, and it was entirely thanks to Mo Hua that her nightmares were relieved.

Wenren Wan’s gaze turned icy, and she immediately said, “You…”

But before she could finish, she found that Mo Hua was tugging at her sleeve.

Wenren Wan was taken aback, looked down, and saw Mo Hua taking a sip of fruit wine, moistening his throat, then wiping his mouth and slowly standing up.

Wenren Wan did not know what Mo Hua intended to do.

Mo Hua put on an innocent face and secretly pointed at the female elder, whispering to Wenren Wan,

“Aunt Wan, who is this scary old lady…”

He deliberately lowered his voice.

But merely lowering his voice, without covering it with his Divine Sense.

Every Cultivator present had formidable Cultivation, how could they not hear what he said?

“Scary old lady…”

The expressions of everyone present immediately became subtly charged.

The female elder was taken aback and then immediately glared furiously.

In all her life, now over two hundred years, she had only heard people flatter her as “beauty that topples cities,” “as exquisite as a painting,” “with charm undiminished from her youth”…

She also considered herself no less beautiful than anyone.

But she never expected this little brat!

To actually call her “old lady”!

She pointed at Mo Hua and demanded, “Who is the scary old lady?!”

Her fierce question spoke volumes.

Mo Hua seemed to be startled and weakly replied: “Aunt Wan called you ‘auntie’; if you’re not an old lady, then what are you?”

The female elder’s eyes were shooting fire.

Wenren Wan felt somewhat amused, yet she couldn’t help but be torn between laughter and tears, “Although she is an ‘auntie,’ she is only a little over a hundred years older than me, not old enough to be called ‘old lady’…”

Mo Hua mumbled, “How would I know; she has too much powder on her face, as thick as a wall—I couldn’t tell…”

The female elder almost ground her teeth to pieces.

Mo Hua then asked Wenren Wan, “If not ‘old lady,’ then should I call her… ‘old auntie’?”

Finally, someone at the table couldn’t hold back and let out a laugh.

Soon, more and more people started to chuckle quietly.

Provoked by the laughter, the female elder born of the Shen Family could no longer contain her fury. With a slap of her palm, she shattered a whole table of bowls and dishes, and food and soup scattered everywhere.

Mo Hua shook his head and said steadily, “This ‘old auntie’ with her throwing tantrums, how impolite.”

“One must maintain proper etiquette in all actions, seating, eating, and sleeping.”

“Isn’t it said that one begins learning at the age of three? How come some people, even over two hundred years old, still haven’t learned?”

Mo Hua whispered again, “Look, she hasn’t learned herself and yet she thinks of teaching others…”

The female elder’s face, coated in “white” powder, turned as black as the bottom of a pot, her features beginning to contort.

After a long while, she managed to suppress the rage in her heart and said through gritted teeth:

“You have no respect for your elders! The Gu Family really… What kind of brat are you that you dare to speak insolently at the table… Who are your parents? What status do you actually have?”

“If you don’t reveal your origin, both the Shangguan Family and the Shen Family will not let this go!”

With these words, everyone frowned.

Despite being from the distinguished Shen Family and now married into the Shangguan Family, holding the position of an Elder, her mind was so narrow, so lacking in demeanor, to trouble a child and threaten him in public…

Then everyone looked at Mo Hua with some concern.

Several Elders from the Gu Family who knew Mo Hua stood up to smooth things over.

“The words of a child should not be taken seriously; why get angry…”

Elder Gu Hong also made an indifferent comment:

“The holiday season is approaching, it’s not good to get worked up, after all, it’s a family banquet, and it’s best to be harmonious. I will talk to this child afterwards…”

The female elder, however, would not let it go and sneered:

“This little ghost, he’s not from your Gu Family, is he?”

The Elders were stunned and looked at each other.

Of course, Mo Hua was not from the Gu Family.

Under such circumstances, they naturally couldn’t lie.

The female elder then said coldly, “Then why is this brat attending your Gu Family’s banquet, and dare to speak to me so rudely? Your Gu Family better provide me with an explanation!”

These words were unpleasant to the ear.

The Elders of the Gu Family all looked displeased.

We advised you earlier to give face to the Shen Family and the Shangguan Family.

Better to have fewer issues.

But to be so immoderate, so arrogantly overbearing, meant that she did not take the Gu Family into consideration.

Although the Gu Family was not as prominent as the Shen Family, it was not a small family to be easily suppressed.

With the atmosphere becoming somewhat tense, Mo Hua finally took out a wooden case, slowly placed it on the table, and crisply declared:

“I am here to give a gift!”

The female elder glanced down and saw that within Mo Hua’s wooden case lay only a simple and ordinary unmounted calligraphy, devoid of any lavish or elegant aura. She then mocked:
