Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 1474: Chapter 800 Rouge Boat

Mo Hua quietly asked: ”Revelry... what’s it like?”

The store owner was about to speak, but upon seeing Mo Hua’s fair and delicate face, shook her head and said:

”It’s nothing good, not suitable for children, you’re a good kid, don’t get involved in those messy things.”

”Oh.” Mo Hua was somewhat displeased and asked again, ”Then... how did this Young Master Ye die?”

”How else?” the store owner smirked, ”I heard it was a shipwreck, six people on board, all drowned, and were gnawed beyond recognition by the Water Demons in the water...”

Mo Hua’s eyes slightly narrowed, thinking it was indeed as expected.

”Why did the ship suddenly sink out of nowhere?” Mo Hua asked in confusion.

The store lady hesitated for a moment, looked around, and then lowered her voice, saying:

”It’s not that simple. These circles of young masters from great families are very messy...”

”This Young Master Ye was a playboy, unrestrained in behavior, extravagant and lustful. I heard this time he quarreled over a romantic rivalry with another young master, got envied, and someone secretly hired people to sink his ship, drowning everyone on board.”

The store lady chattered on.

”Who did he offend?” Mo Hua asked.

The store lady shook her head, ”Who knows.”

”Didn’t the Ye family pursue this?”

”They don’t dare,” the store owner said, ”The Ye family is quite notable in Mistwater City, but in the entire Qianxue Territory, they’re insignificant. That Young Master Ye, around Mistwater City, could be called a ’young master’, but compared to those in the great families, like dragons out of reach, heavenly people, he’s probably not even as good as a follower...”

Upon hearing this, Mo Hua felt some sentiment.

People are divided into high and low, noble and humble, and trample on each other.

Those who step on others will eventually be stepped on by those higher up.

The Ye family is just like that.

Unknowingly, Mo Hua finished his noodles and couldn’t ask for more information, so he paid the bill, and incidentally gave two extra Spirit Stones.

The store lady couldn’t refuse and enthusiastically saw Mo Hua off, saying a lot of good words.

After leaving, Mo Hua wandered around nearby some more, and in the evening found an inn to stay at.

During the period, some news was inquired about, but it wasn’t very useful, and many were obviously rumors, not credible.

By the next morning, after eating some big buns, Mo Hua hired a cart and left Mistwater City.

With only two days for the holiday, time was limited, he couldn’t afford to delay and had to head back to the Sect first.

However, before returning to the Sect, Mo Hua thought to make a side trip to the small fishing village.

Ever since experiencing the Blood-colored Fishing Village incident, dismantling the River God Temple, slaying the corrupted River God, and swallowing an incarnation of the Evil God, Mo Hua hadn’t returned to the small fishing village, and didn’t know how things were there now.

It was morning at this time, with bright sunlight.

The Mistwater River sparkled, the grass was lush green, the river flowed gently into the distance like an emerald ribbon.

The scenery was beautiful, but Mo Hua, upon seeing it, inexplicably felt a sense of unease.

As if hidden filth lay unseen in this beautiful river.

About more than an hour later, Mo Hua arrived at the small fishing village.

Upon reaching the village entrance, many Fish Cultivators greeted him, ”Hello, Young Lord!”

”Young Lord is here!”

”Long time no see...”

Mo Hua smiled and greeted them.

Soon, Old Yu also came over, seeing Mo Hua, he expressed endless gratitude, repeatedly calling him benefactor, and said:

”It’s almost noon, if benefactor doesn’t mind, come to our house for some fish soup.”

Drinking fish soup...

Mo Hua’s feelings were a bit complex.

But he didn’t refuse. This time coming to the small fishing village was to ask Old Yu some questions.

At Old Yu’s house, it was still that dilapidated courtyard, but fortunately, the family was reunited, bustling and full of life.

Upon entering, Old Yu called over his two grandsons, ”Little Shunzi, Little Shuizi, come, kowtow to the benefactor.”

Little Shunzi and Little Shuizi didn’t hesitate, knelt with a thud, and kowtowed twice.

Mo Hua couldn’t stop it.

”No need to be so polite...”

Mo Hua said helplessly.

But Old Yu was very stubborn, ”You saved these two children’s lives, their cultivation is low, they’re not capable of much, what are two kowtows?”

After the two children kowtowed, they stood up, with two pairs of bright eyes looking at Mo Hua.

Mo Hua also gave them a once-over.

The first time Mo Hua met these two children, it was by the Mistwater River, when he and Cheng Mo, along with others, were staking out to catch the Crossing River Dragon.

Poor childrens take on responsibilities early.

Back then these two children, though young and with only Qi Refinement cultivation, were already quite sensible, knowing to help the adults.

During the temple incident, they were taken as sacrifices to the Evil God.

After being rescued, their breaths were weak, faces pale.

Now, more than a year later, the two children’s Vital Energy had obviously recovered, their faces were tanned a bit darker, but looked more spirited, and having cultivated the ”White Wave Skill” given by Mo Hua, water energy circulated around them, Spiritual Power was refined, and their cultivation had also improved quite a bit.

Their cultivation progress was much faster than Mo Hua had imagined.

Mo Hua felt joy in his heart, took out two small gifts from his Storage Bag, and gave them.

It was a pair of water-repelling Jade Pendants.

These were lunar new year gifts from some Elder in the Gu Family.

Old Yu, seeing these two precious Jade Pendants, was shocked, hurriedly declined, saying: ”This is way too much, how can we dare accept gifts from our benefactor.”

”It’s fine, take them...” Mo Hua said.

He usually didn’t have much use for them anyway.

Little Shunzi and Little Shuizi scratched their heads, also declined, ”Benefactor, we’re good with water, we don’t need it...”
