The Quest for Immortality-Chapter 854: Impolite (4)

Afterwards, he became very busy.

Two days later, Murong Caiyun found Mo Hua and specially told him, "You have a total of two hundred and twenty merit points, I've transferred them to you..."

Two hundred and twenty!

Mo Hua was over the moon with joy.

Initially, the deal was for a "minimum of one hundred merit points..." He hadn't expected there to be so many extra.

In this way, he was one step closer to the Sixteen Patterns "Beacon Fire Yuan Magnet Formation"!

"Thank you, Senior Sister Murong!" Mo Hua expressed his gratitude sincerely.

Seeing Mo Hua's happy expression, Murong Caiyun also smiled slightly.

Mo Hua wanted to tag along with Senior Sister Murong on more tasks, but tasks weren't always available, and moreover, Murong Caiyun needed time for her own cultivation practice, which wasn't plentiful.

Mo Hua could only continue to patiently draw First-Grade Formation Methods, accumulating merit points little by little.

Even the smallest mosquito is still meat.

In the following days, Mo Hua was busy yet fulfilled.

During the day, he not only had to attend classes but also "teach" his fellow disciples.

At night, after returning to the Disciple's Residence, he would first carry out his routine cultivation, then study Formation Methods and practice Drawing Formations.

At the middle of the night, he would enter the Sea of Consciousness and continue practicing Formation Methods on the Taoist Stele, refining his Divine Sense.

His merit points grew bit by bit, and his Divine Sense also strengthened little by little.

Soon, the periodic rest days arrived.

Mo Hua missed Yu Er, so he went to find Shangguan Xu, telling him he wanted to visit Qingzhou City to thank Aunt Wan and also check on Yu Er.

Shangguan Xu was also returning home, so he called for a carriage and took Mo Hua with him towards Qingzhou City.

Qingzhou City wasn't far from Taixu Gate—within half a day's travel, the two of them entered the city and arrived at the Gu Family home.

The Shangguan Family and the Gu Family belonged to the same alliance, so Yu Er was recuperating at the Gu Family, under the care of Wenren Wan.

With Shangguan Xu leading the way, there were no obstructions.

After several months, Mo Hua saw Wenren Wan once more.

Wenren Wan had lost a lot of weight, her complexion pale and haggard, with deep worry in her eyes, and from time to time, a pained expression would pass over her face.

Yet upon seeing Mo Hua, she mustered some energy, smiling gently and asking how Mo Hua was faring at the Sect, how his cultivation was progressing, and if anyone had bullied him...

Mo Hua replied, "Aunt Wan, don't worry, the Elders are very nice, and my fellow disciples are friendly, no one has bullied me!"

Wenren Wan breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good to hear..."

But before she could finish her sentence, she became somewhat absent-minded, with profound melancholy in her eyes.

Mo Hua asked gently,

"Aunt Wan, how is Yu Er doing?"

Wenren Wan hesitated and then offered a bitter smile, "Yu Er... he often has nightmares... so he's afraid to sleep, his Divine Sense is gradually weakening, I..."

Suddenly, Wenren Wan's voice faltered, her eyes reddening, unable to speak further.

Mo Hua, concerned, asked, "May I see him?"

After thinking it over, Wenren Wan nodded, "I'll take you to see him..."

Mo Hua followed Wenren Wan into a slightly more secluded guest room located in the southeastern corner of the Gu Family home.

The place was very quiet, devoid of any cultivators.

But with a slight movement of his Divine Sense, Mo Hua could detect some extremely subtle presences nearby.

Subtle meant powerful.

While it seemed remote, the defenses were extremely tight.

Since Wenren Wan was leading, those cultivators with strong realms merely swept their Divine Sense over Mo Hua and then looked away, without probing further.

But this was only Mo Hua's guess.

With his current level of Divine Sense Realm, he could not truly detect the inspection from these high-level cultivators.

It felt more like an intuitive sense of Heavenly Secret Cause and Effect.

Mo Hua knew in his heart that someone had just scanned him with their Divine Sense.

Following behind Wenren Wan, Mo Hua passed through the quiet corridor, walked by a pond clear as jade, strolled through the fresh and beautiful garden, and arrived at the quiet side room.

On the outside of this room were highly sophisticated Formation Methods, incomprehensible to someone of Mo Hua's cultivation level.

These Formation Methods were of a very high grade, obviously employed for Yu Er's protection.

Inside the room, the furnishings were simple, but extremely valuable Calming Incense was burning, and the screen decorated with a magnificent and flowing landscape was evidently a top-grade Protective Spiritual Tool.

Little Yu Er lay on the bed, his brows tightly furrowed, his face pale as paper, looking pitiful.

Upon seeing this, Wenren Wan felt as though her heart was being wrenched apart.

Mo Hua also felt a deep sympathy.

Not wanting to disturb Yu Er, Mo Hua heaved a sigh and was about to leave.

At that moment, Yu Er on the bed slowly opened his eyes, cautiously peering over, his voice weak but filled with a hint of expectancy,

"Mo... Brother?"

Mo Hua's heart quivered. He turned to look at Wenren Wan.

Wenren Wan nodded, and Mo Hua walked over to Yu Er's side, gently taking his hand and said, "Aren't you sleeping...?"

Yu Er weakly nodded his head, expressing his resentment, "I can't sleep..."

Then he silently added, "I'm afraid to sleep..."

Mo Hua sighed softly and stroked Yu Er's head, "It's alright now, sleep for a while..."

"Mm..."

Yu Er nodded slowly but still refused to close his eyes.

"What's wrong?" Mo Hua asked.

Yu Er hesitated for a moment, then carefully uttered,

"Brother, if I close my eyes, will you leave...?"

Mo Hua shook his head, "I'll be here with you, waiting for you to wake up."

A gleam of light shone in Yu Er's frail eyes, and a weak smile appeared on his pale little face.

"Go to sleep," Mo Hua spoke softly.

His words were calm and tranquil, with a touch of gentleness.

"Mm."

Yu Er obediently nodded and then gradually closed his eyes.

Slowly, his breathing became even. The tension in his eyebrows eased, and soon it appeared he had fallen asleep, at ease...

Wenren Wan covered her mouth, tears sparkling in her eyes, both shocked and relieved.
