Chapter 911: Chapter 623: Unspoken Transmission
Little Yu Er's sect life had begun.
Each day, he ate and lived with Mo Hua. Of course, they couldn't attend classes together.
Since he had just started Qi Refinement, he needed to nurture his meridians and solidify his foundation.
This method of strengthening one's core came at a high cost. It required a large amount of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, precious Spiritual Liquids, and the specifics varied from person to person. Additionally, every family had its own inherited techniques, which the Taixu Sect did not teach.
Thus, when Mo Hua attended classes at the Tao Teaching Pavilion, Yu Er stayed in the Disciple's Residence, cultivating, studying, and completing assignments. Wenren Wei would occasionally guide him and teach him some Tao Cultivation Classics.
After class, Mo Hua would return to the Disciple's Residence.
Yu Er would hold a small bowl and sit beside Mo Hua, eating with him.
Other disciples who saw Yu Er, so small and young, were completely astonished.
He wore a petite Taoist Robe from the Taixu Sect and looked like a sect disciple, but his age was far too young to actually be one…
Cheng Mo asked Mo Hua, “Mo Hua, who's this little guy?”
Yu Er was displeased and puffed up his cheeks, replying in his soft, childlike voice, “I'm not a little guy; I'm Shang Guanyu!”
“Shang Guanyu?” Cheng Mo frowned. “The Shangguan Family?”
Yu Er ignored him, bowing his head as he mimicked Mo Hua and started shoveling rice into his mouth.
Cheng Mo sighed. He couldn't argue with a little kid, so he asked Mo Hua again:
“Your little brother?”
Mo Hua reached out to pat Yu Er's head and said, “Pretty much…”
Cheng Mo stared at Mo Hua for a moment, then shifted his gaze to Yu Er before muttering, “They really do look a bit alike…”
“The Shangguan Family…” Another disciple nearby gasped in surprise and whispered, “Mo Hua, do you have the Shangguan bloodline?”
Mo Hua shook his head, “No.”
Cheng Mo scolded the disciple in a low voice:
“Idiot, would anyone reveal something like that openly? It's obviously meant to be kept under wraps. If you ask me, Mo Hua is probably some illegitimate child of the Shangguan Family…”
Mo Hua, now annoyed, retorted:
“If you have the time, you might as well do some more homework or practice formations. I think you should dedicate your limited time to researching the Bagua Formation Method rather than digging up gossip…”
Cheng Mo felt his head ache at the mention of formations and immediately quieted down, grinning sheepishly:
“No, no, 'Junior Brother,' I was just joking…”
*Yu Er's eyes sparkled with admiration as he watched how a single sentence from Mo Hua subdued the tall and burly Cheng Mo.*
“It looks like Brother Mo is quite amazing in the Taixu Sect!”
*Yu Er, who had been slightly anxious about entering the Taixu Sect and facing a bunch of strangers, immediately straightened his tiny back with newfound confidence.*
He shuffled a little closer to Mo Hua, clutching his small bowl as he continued eating peacefully.
From then on, Yu Er settled into the Disciple's Residence.
He was adorable and pure-hearted, like a little mascot, naturally winning everyone's affection.
Yu Er and Mo Hua were very close.
Mo Hua was also considered their “Junior Brother.”
With this bond, everyone took good care of Yu Er.
Furthermore, he had a guard accompanying him, whose aura was restrained yet carried an extraordinary presence. Calm and steady as a mountain, his cultivation was undoubtedly profound.
Entering the sect through special privileges and bringing along a guard–
This was clearly no ordinary child.
Some disciples who had connections to the Shangguan Family returned home to inquire with their elders and learned the truth of Yu Er's identity, leaving them utterly shocked.
Through this, they understood what the name “Shang Guanyu” signified. When they glanced at Mo Hua again, their expressions grew even more “meaningful.”
The Shangguan Family had sent the heir apparent of their next Family Head into the Taixu Sect–to act as Mo Hua's “little follower.”
What kind of deep “connection” and strong “backing” did this entail?
And to say Mo Hua had no background? Who'd believe that nonsense?
The disciples grew increasingly courteous toward Mo Hua.
Mo Hua, however, was completely clueless…
Ever since Yu Er moved into the Disciple's Residence, Mo Hua's daily life underwent some changes. After a few days of adjustment, things became routine once more.
During the day, he still attended classes, cultivated, and practiced his studies.
Occasionally, he substituted for Elder Master Xun in teaching classes.
It was supposed to be “occasionally,” but Elder Master Xun grew increasingly lazy, claiming that his advanced age left him lacking energy, and he took on the role of a hands-free manager. Formation studies had essentially become Mo Hua's responsibility.
Who knew how much of this was true.
After finishing classes, Mo Hua would return to the Disciple's Residence. If he had free time, he'd work on assignments together with Yu Er.
He tinkered with spells and practiced formations while Yu Er diligently completed his foundational lessons.
*During the day, Yu Er struggled to calm his mind. He felt nervous, uneasy, and reluctant to work on his assignments, but by evening, when he was with Mo Hua, he felt at ease and became much more focused on his studies.*
At the middle of the night, Yu Er would sleep.
Mo Hua also slept, but he remained vigilant, guarding against any Demon Monsters disturbing the neighboring Yu Er, while using his Divine Sense to immerse in his Sea of Consciousness and study formations.
Fortunately, no Demon Monsters appeared to disturb Yu Er.
But unfortunately, no Demon Monsters wandered foolishly into Mo Hua's path to offer him some “food”…
And so, life in the sect remained peaceful and serene–busy yet fulfilling.
During the scheduled break, Mo Hua ventured out with Senior Sister Murong and the others to complete reward missions.
Mo Hua's original plan was to choose missions himself, have Uncle Gu issue the missions, then let Senior Sister Murong accept them. He'd merely tag along, and after capturing Sin Cultivators, he could gain both inheritance and merit points.
But this approach turned out to be overly idealistic.
He rarely visited the Taoist Court and had hardly encountered Uncle Gu, leaving no way to arrange for Uncle Gu to issue missions.
From the very beginning, his plan had failed.
Mo Hua sighed.
For now, he could only wait for an opportunity to meet Uncle Gu and think of another way.
With no clear path through the Taoist Court for now, Mo Hua could only passively accept reward missions as they came along.
