Chapter 933 Flower Valley Master
With a click, Mo Hua's chopsticks fell on the table, and everyone was dumbfounded.
Others might not be able to hear it, but how could Mo Hua not understand it. He knew what he had done.
Moreover, he had just seen clearly that the incredibly beautiful Baihua Valley Master gave him a meaningful look.
Mo Hua's heart trembled.
"The fact that I entered Baihua Valley was known by the head of Baihua Valley? No way? My luck is not that bad..."
"Or did Senior Sister Qianqian betray me? Did she secretly tell the head of the sect about my dark history?"
"No, Senior Sister Qianqian is not such a person..."
Mo Hua's heart was a little confused, and the crab in his mouth was not fragrant anymore.
On the other side, Gu Shouyan also noticed the gaze of the Hua Valley Master, nodded slightly, and understood in his heart.
The head of Baihua Valley, on the surface, came to the Gu family to visit the Baihua Valley disciples, but in fact, he came for Mo Hua, the "leader of the formation".
But what he didn't know was that this "leader of formations" was, in a sense, also a "disciple of Baihua Valley".
Baihua Valley had a special status, and the valley master was here in person, so Gu Shouyan said very politely:
"Valley Master, please take a seat."
Because he was an "uninvited guest", Gu Shouyan temporarily arranged a seat for him.
Because the Valley Master of Baihua had a high status, his seat was on the same level as the head of the family, and he was arranged to the right of Xia Jianjian, just next to Mo Hua.
When Xia Jianjian saw the Valley Master of Hua, he stood up to greet him and said, "Hello, Valley Master."
His attitude was extremely respectful.
The Valley Master of Hua only nodded lightly, and then sat down next to Mo Hua.
Mo Hua silently picked up the chopsticks, sat upright, and didn't dare to breathe. He picked up the crab meat bit by bit with chopsticks and ate it. He was very polite and looked very well-behaved and delicate, and there was no casual look when he was feasting just now.
Supervisor Xia looked at him strangely, thinking, how come this kid changed his temper in the blink of an eye?
Wasn't he still talkative just now?
He turned his head and looked at the beautiful Huagu Master, who was wearing gorgeous palace clothes, with a strange expression.
Huagu Master sat gracefully, holding the jade cup with her white jade fingers, drinking flower wine, with an elegant and dignified posture. Since she sat down, she didn't say anything.
Mo Hua, who was sitting on pins and needles, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and thought:
"It should be an illusion. This good-looking Master Hua should not know that I sneaked into Baihua Valley..."
"I will pretend that nothing happened. I will sit down and finish this meal honestly, and then run away after eating, so that she won't catch me..."
"This master looks so cold, he should not pay attention to me..."
But I don't know if what he said in his heart was heard, a clear and ethereal voice suddenly sounded:
"Are you Mo Hua?"
Mo Hua's body tensed, and he turned his head stiffly, and saw the beautiful face of Master Hua.
"Yes..." Mo Hua whispered.
"Do you know who I am?" Master Hua asked him.
Mo Hua felt something was wrong and nodded, "Master... of Baihua Valley..."
"Oh," Master Hua's eyes flickered slightly, "Are you familiar with Baihua Valley?"
Mo Hua's heart skipped a beat.
It's over. This Flower Valley Master seems to know everything.
The question is... when did she know?
It's impossible that she knew it from the beginning, right?
I'm wearing a Hundred Flowers Taoist robe. She won't notice it, will she?
No way?
The Flower Valley Master's beautiful eyes stared at him. Mo Hua could only bite the bullet and said with a guilty conscience: "It's okay, a little familiar... but not that familiar..."
After all, he had only been to the Hundred Flowers Valley once, and he was accompanied by Senior Sister Qianqian all the way. He lowered his head and looked obedient. It can be said that he didn't see what he should see and shouldn't see.
"Mo Hua..." The master of Hua Valley muttered his name and praised him softly, "He is the leader of the formation in the middle stage of foundation building. Even in Qianxuezhou, he is probably the only one."
Mo Hua said modestly: "Valley Master, you are too kind."
"I have a request. I wonder if you think so, young master?"
Mo Hua knew that he was in the wrong, "Valley Master, please speak."
The master of Hua Valley said softly: "The disciples of my Baihua Valley are all girls. They are used to planting flowers and grass. They are lazy and can't learn formations well. If you have a chance, why don't you go to Baihua Valley and teach me the formation?"
Mo Hua didn't dare to say "no" and nodded immediately, "Sure, sure."
But as soon as he said it, he immediately reacted and asked in confusion: "Baihua Valley, don't male disciples not allowed to enter?"
The master of Hua Valley smiled and said, "Yes, I almost forgot that men are not allowed to enter Baihua Valley. You remember it clearly."
Mo Hua wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Seeing Mo Hua blushing like an apple, the Master of Flower Valley found it interesting and did not make things difficult for him. He just raised his wine glass and said half-truthfully:
"Young Master, you have a promising future. I offer you a glass. If there is anything in the future of Baihua Valley, please help me, Young Master Mo."
Xia Jian, who was standing by, looked at the Master of Flower Valley in surprise, as if he did not expect that the Master of Flower Valley would say such a thing.
Mo Hua quickly picked up the wine glass and returned the greeting:
"Mo Hua is not very talented, but I am honored by the Master. If there is any need in the future, I will do my best."
The Master of Flower Valley nodded with satisfaction, drank the flower wine in the glass, and looked at Mo Hua with a smile in his eyes, "Young Master, please sit down, don't be shy."
After Mo Hua finished drinking, he bowed to the Master of Flower Valley and then sat down steadily.
At the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the master of Huagu was generous and only asked him to make a promise, which was regarded as a small "letter of surrender", and then lightly let the matter go, and didn't really care about his illegal entry into Baihua Valley.
Otherwise, he would really be in big trouble.
Even if it didn't mean big trouble, it would definitely be embarrassing.
The dignified junior brother of Taixu Sect, the leader of the formation of Qianxuezhou, wore the Taoist robe of Baihua Valley and sneaked into Baihua Valley.
If people really knew...
Just thinking about it, Mo Hua felt his scalp tingling.
The annual banquet was still going on, and Mo Hua didn't dare to make any other movements, let alone talk nonsense, and even didn't dare to look around. From then on, he was quiet and lay on the table to eat until the end of the annual banquet.
During this period, the beautiful master of Huagu simply socialized with the head of the Gu family for a few words, and then drank alone.
She has a high status, beautiful looks, elegant temperament, and great aura.
She didn't say anything, and no one dared to disturb her.
After the annual banquet, Master Hua stood up and left. Gu Shouyan and Xia Jianjian all stood up to see her off.
"I apologize for the poor hospitality." Gu Shouyan said.
Master Hua smiled lightly, "I'm sorry for disturbing you, Master Gu."
Gu Shouyan bowed, "No, I'll see you off."
Master Hua nodded slightly, and before leaving, he looked back and glanced at Mo Hua.
Mo Hua drank a lot of wine, and the alcohol was still there. There was still a blush on her cheeks, but her eyes became clearer and clearer. She stood on the high platform obediently, looking shy and quiet.
Master Hua's mind moved slightly, and he couldn't help but think of the scene when he saw Mo Hua wearing a hundred flowers Taoist robe and walking on the colorful Baihua Mountain Road on the high pavilion that day.
"This child, wearing my Baihua Valley Taoist robe, looks pretty good..."
After just a glance, the Flower Valley Master turned around, left the Gu family, and stepped onto the Baihua Valley carriage surrounded by a group of Baihua Valley women.
In the carriage with splendid flowers and fragrant and luxurious.
The Flower Valley Master sat for a long time and silently took out a sword.
The sword was inlaid with gold and jade, simple and precious, with the words "Longquan" engraved on it.
But this sword was sealed in dust and had not been unsheathed for a long time, just like the sword's former owner, a pearl covered in dust, and experienced vicissitudes of life.
The master of Huagu stroked the Longquan sword with a melancholy look, as if he was talking to himself, or as if he was talking to the sword, and muttered:
"That day, I was at the formation discussion meeting, and I saw this child, who single-handedly suppressed the geniuses of the four major sects and hundreds of thousands of sects. His expression was cold and domineering, and he had the momentum to look down on the world. He was very similar to you back then, so I wondered if he really had some karma with you..."
"But today, I saw that this child was too shy and cute, and he had no bloodline and poor spiritual roots. You never accepted such disciples."
"I don't think the disciples you accepted would wear the Taoist robes of Baihua Valley and run to Baihua Valley..."
The master of Huagu had a look of half-smile, and then turned into deep loneliness.
Some past events are sweet when you first recall them, but if you chew them for a while, they will become bitter. The more you recall them, the more painful it is.
"Will I ever see you again in this life..."
This sentence was heart-wrenching.
But Longquan Sword was silent and could not respond.
...
Gu family, during the banquet.
Mo Hua watched the master of Huagu leave, and was relieved.
"It can be considered that I have escaped a disaster..."
"I will never show my face again in the future. In this life, I will never go to Baihua Valley again. I will never go there no matter what..."
Then he was a little confused.
This Huagu master, who looks very good, seems to have a high status?
Not only did the always serious and upright Gu family master treat her with courtesy, but even Xia Jian, who was born in the sixth-rank Xia family and was the Dao Court Supervisor, did not dare to neglect her at all.
Why?
Baihua Valley is just a twelve-rate sect after all...
Isn't she just the head of Baihua Valley?
Could it be that this Huagu master has some other profound background or extraordinary origin?
Mo Hua thought about it, but didn't think of anything, so he didn't bother to think about it anymore. It had nothing to do with him anyway.
In the future, I just need to avoid this good-looking valley master and not be caught by her again.
Mo Hua sighed slightly.
He originally thought that he would just come to the annual banquet like in previous years to have a simple meal, but he didn't expect to meet so many unexpected people.
Moreover, they were all big shots.
Fortunately, he finally managed to deal with them all, and found out a lot of secrets of big families, which was worth the trip.
So far, the annual banquet has ended.
The guests gradually dispersed.
As usual, Mo Hua strolled in the courtyard of the Gu family to digest his food, and accidentally ran into Elder Gu Hong.
Elder Gu Hong was still dressed in red and looked happy.
Mo Hua asked curiously: "Elder Hong, what's the good news? You are so happy?"
Elder Gu Hong saw that it was Mo Hua, so he pulled him to sit down, poured him tea, and brought fruits, "You eat, I will tell you."
Mo Hua's stomach was full, but he still picked up a piece of melon and took a small bite.
"It's Chang Huai's business," Elder Gu Hong said with relief, "These days, many families in Qianxuezhou have sent people to ask me for marriage..."
Mo Hua was a little surprised, "Uncle Gu's market has increased?"
"What do you mean by increased market, you kid..." Elder Gu Hong complained a little, but obviously didn't mind at all, and the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't be suppressed.
"What happened?" Mo Hua asked curiously.
Elder Gu Hong said: "I told you before, Chang Huai is a Diansi, and this position is a good job in theory. But it is a bit inappropriate to talk about marriage among aristocratic families. It is dangerous and hard, all year round. , and don’t touch home.”
"Don't be greedy. The treatment is too bad. Be greedy. If you are not careful, you will go down the wrong path."
"Besides, it's not like you don't know Chang Huai's temperament, so you have repeatedly encountered obstacles when trying to propose marriage to him."
"But in the past few years, Chang Huai didn't know whether fortune had changed or he met a 'noble person'. He worked in Daotingsi and made many achievements."
"A few days ago, we even wiped out a demon sect with more than a thousand people."
"This is no small feat. Daotingsi seems to be interested in promoting him to be the 'Deputy Chief'. At his age, if he works hard and cultivates to the point of becoming an immortal, and with the right qualifications, if he is lucky, It’s not impossible to become the head of Qianxue State in the future.”
"Even if you can't be the head of the Qianxue State, if you can be placed in a lower fourth- or fifth-grade state and become a local head with great power in your hands, you will still have a bright future."
Even Mo Hua was shocked, "Uncle Gu is so promising?"
Elder Gu Hong looked pleased, "Chang Huai himself is not bad. In the Daoting Division, regardless of qualifications, family background, and ability, he is all top-notch. Of course, his temper is a bit bad, and his popularity is not that good. But as a Dian Si, , What he does is to offend people, and this is not a big shortcoming.”
"The biggest problem before was that his 'performance' was neither up nor down, so he could be promoted or not promoted."
"But now, he has made great achievements and has qualifications. The former Xiao family Diansi...who is that?"
"Xiao Zhenhai?" Mo Hua asked.
"Yes," Elder Gu Hong said, "Xiao Zhenhai was originally more senior than Chang Huai and was better at digging camps than Chang Huai, but he seemed to have committed a crime? Is he dead?"
"Yeah." Mo Hua nodded.
He was tricked to death.
"So," Elder Gu Hong continued, "Now in the Daoting Division, there are many people who always think of being 'outstanding'. If we don't promote him, who else will be promoted? He is a member of the Gu family. If he is not capable enough, he will be promoted by others. It’s okay to suppress him. Now that he has all the abilities and qualifications, who dares to blatantly give my Gu family eye drops? "
Mo Hua nodded slightly.
Elder Gu Hong said: "There are indeed many stupid people in this aristocratic family, but when it comes to savvy, one is more savvy than the next. Chang Huai's situation, caring people have seen it, and know that he has a bright future, and may even become the head of the family. ’, the attitude is completely different.”
"In the past few days, people who have come to me to talk about this matter have almost crossed the threshold."
Elder Gu Hong couldn't help but get excited and showed off to Mo Hua.
Mo Hua was also happy for Uncle Gu.
However, he also has his own little calculation.
Mo Hua asked in a low voice: "But...isn't Sister Xia good?"
Elder Gu Hong was slightly startled when he heard this, and couldn't help but sigh, "That girl is certainly good, but again... Chang Huai may not be worthy..."
"Isn't the future 'boss' worthy of it?"
"You have already said that it is the 'future'. Who can say clearly about the future?" Elder Gu Hong shook his head, "In the eyes of other aristocratic families and small and medium-sized families, this position of head is of great importance. But for the Xia family in Daozhou, it is not so critical, not to mention that it is hard to say anything about the appointment of the head of the company until the dust settles..."
Mo Hua pondered, "What if... I go to Inspector Xia to intercede?"
Elder Gu Hong said in surprise: "Do you still have a relationship with Supervisor Xia?"
"A little bit." Mo Hua said.
We just chatted and developed a little friendship.
Elder Gu Hong patted Mo Hua on the shoulder and said happily:
"I accept your wishes, but this kind of thing cannot be done by force after all. Marriage in a person's life sometimes means fate. What will happen in the end depends on his own destiny."
"Don't spend any favors on him. Favors are very precious among big families. You don't have a family to rely on. Keep these favors for yourself in the future. Don't always worry about others."
Elder Gu Hong's words were sincere and he considered Mo Hua very much.
Mo Hua felt grateful and nodded: "Elder Hong, I understand."
…
After saying goodbye to Elder Gu Hong, Mo Hua went to find Gu Changhuai again.
Gu Changhuai was in the study, looking through Daotingsi's files.
Mo Hua couldn't help but ask: "Aren't you finished with the Demon Sect's affairs?"
"There are still some things to finish," Gu Changhuai raised his head and glanced at the fruits in Mo Hua's hand, "Did you come here from Aunt Hong?"
"Well," Mo Hua nodded, "Elder Hong told me that there are many people coming to propose marriage, and you will soon be able to get married... No, you will soon be able to marry a Taoist couple."
Gu Changhuai paused for a moment and said "Oh" slowly.
Mo Hua looked at his expression and asked in a low voice: "Uncle Gu, what do you think?"
"What do you think?"
Mo Hua felt that he was pretending to be confused, so he nodded and said, "What do you think of Sister Xia?"
Gu Changhuai was stunned for a moment and said calmly: "...That's it."
Seeing his inconsistent expression, Mo Hua sighed, thought for a while and said:
"Uncle Gu, let me tell you a story..."
"When I was young, there was a formation instructor called Mr. Yan. On the surface, Mr. Yan was just an formation instructor in a small fairy city, but in fact, he was responsible for the blood feud of the ruined sect. He has been in this life all his life. Looking for the traitor of the sect and trying to find the sect’s inheritance.”
"Master Yan has a fat junior brother who has been urging him to find a Taoist partner to carry on the family line, but Master Yan has always refused."
"Finally, after unremitting efforts, Master Yan found the traitor, recovered the inheritance, and wanted to focus all his thoughts on rebuilding the sect for the rest of his life."
"I also thought that Master Yan would die alone."
"But later, Master Yan met a female formation master. After just looking at her portrait, he ran after her without saying a word. In less than two months, they got married..."
"Master Yan also told me that if you can catch it, you must never let it go."
"So," Mo Hua concluded, "in this life, if there is no fate, just focus on doing your own thing."
"But if there is really fate, you must catch it, otherwise you will regret it for the rest of your life."
Mo Hua looked serious.
Gu Changhuai stared at Mo Hua in a daze, and after a moment he couldn't help asking: "How old are you? How come there are so many messy things in your head?"
Mo Hua said: "I can't help it, I'm born smart, that's it."
Gu Changhuai's face darkened, and he said helplessly: "Okay, okay, go play, I have something to do."
After that, he lowered his head and looked at the file again.
"Okay, then I won't bother you." Mo Hua left reluctantly.
After Mo Hua left, Gu Changhuai looked at the file for a while, but couldn't help thinking of Mo Hua's words in his mind.
He lowered his head, looked at his hands, and murmured:
"Don't let go of what you can catch..."
...
After leaving Gu Changhuai's study, Mo Hua walked around Gu's house for a few more times, and then planned to return to the sect.
In previous years, he would eat for free and generally would not stay overnight.
Now he has enough time to go back, and after returning to the sect, he can practice the formation in his sea of consciousness for a while.
As for Uncle Gu's marriage, it depends on him, and he has done his best.
The Gu family personally sent a carriage to take Mo Hua back to the sect.
But it was the New Year's Day, and there were a lot of cars and people in Qingzhou City. He had to go outside the city to get on the carriage.
Mo Hua was not in a hurry. He just took this time to visit the night view of Qingzhou City.
At this time, the long red lights were like dragons, colorful fireworks filled the sky, and thousands of trees were in full bloom in the dark night, which was beautiful.
Mo Hua walked out of the city while visiting the night view.
As he walked, someone suddenly passed by him.
There were many people on the street, and Mo Hua didn't care at first, but when the two of them passed by each other, a chill suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart.
The eyes were hazy for a while, and a black and purple cause and effect slowly emerged, woven and twisted together, ugly and dirty, but also soaked in the desire of depravity, like a filthy heart, and like a corrupted "poppy".
The poppy slowly bloomed...
Just like the scene when he first saw Yanzhizhou on the Yanshui River that night.
Mo Hua's pupils trembled, and he turned his head immediately.
And at this moment, the young man who passed by him also seemed to have sensed something and turned his head.
In an instant, the two looked at each other and saw each other's faces clearly.
