Chapter 1029 -659: Meteorite (Thanks to the Sect Leader, Grand Elder Taishang Daluo Heavenly Immortal Wanshou Emperor~)

Gu Changhuai’s face was very unpleasant.

He was silent for quite a while and didn’t speak until he turned his head and saw Mo Hua eating melon, with a pair of bright, lively eyes secretly watching him, and he frowned and said,

”Why haven’t you left yet?”

Mo Hua didn’t really want to leave.

The melon in his mouth today was exceptionally sweet.

But seeing that Uncle Gu’s face was the same color as the bottom of a pot, Mo Hua sighed reluctantly and was about to get up and leave.

Beside him, a female Elder of the Gu Family, with a face full of festivity, saw Mo Hua looking “wronged” and immediately scolded Gu Changhuai:

”Really, what’s the point of making things difficult for a child?”

”He’s just sitting here eating melon, how could he possibly bother you?”

”It’s not like we’re doing anything shameful

”It’s not your aunt speaking out of turn, but you should really restrain that foul temper of yours a bit. At the Dao Court, you can be harsher to those Sin Cultivators and Evil Cultivators, but after returning to the Gu Family, we are all relatives and elders, who are you showing that face to?”

Gu Changhuai stiffened under the Elder’s scolding.

After the female Elder finished speaking, she put on a friendly expression again and, looking at the demure and adorable Mo Hua, couldn’t help but admire.

This child is indeed handsome.

And what a fine temperament.

Not like the sons of other noble families, some of whom, despite their good looks, have eyes full of arrogance borne from indulgence, a selfish and domineering air.

This child is different, his gaze is pure, spirited and lively, sincere and polite to behold.

The more the female Elder looked, the more she liked him.

This was the first time she had seen Mo Hua and was unaware of his status.

But thinking he could show up in the Gu Household and eat melon in front of Gu Changhuai, he must be some nephew of the Gu family, or a relative.

With a large family, these Elders couldn’t recognize all the younger generations.

Moreover, during the big festivals, friends and relatives coming and going, it’s normal to have a few unfamiliar children around.

The female Elder smiled and said to Mo Hua:

”Child, don’t be afraid, take your time eating

”Your Uncle Gu is cold on the outside but warm on the inside, his words may sound unpleasant, but don’t be afraid of him, just enjoy your melon

Mo Hua, with his pair of innocent, clear big eyes, obediently said:

”Thank you, Elder Xie.”

Then he confidently took his seat again.

Gu Changhuai felt his scalp tingle.

”Aunt, you

”What about me?”

The female Elder immediately sat down beside Gu Changhuai and poured herself a cup of tea:

”The clan doesn’t manage you, and neither do you manage yourself

”Wan’er is married now, with a husband and children, it’s not convenient for her to intervene. If your aunt doesn’t step in, your whole life might be lost

Gu Changhuai’s face was stern, with a stubborn look.

The female Elder sighed softly, speaking more gently, “This girl is from the Direct Lineage of the Hundred Flower Valley, the Hua family, roughly the same age as you, but a bit younger

”Now at Hundred Flower Valley, she is an Instructor of the Inner Gate

”Her Cultivation is only at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, well… at the Foundation Establishment Peak

”Looking at it, Golden Core is not too far off for her

”At her age, being in the Foundation Establishment Late Stage is indeed a bit old, but as soon as she Breaks through the Realm and advances to Golden Core, that age is just right

”The two of you are close in age, and in terms of Cultivation, she’s just a bit below you, so you’d have a bit more confidence without having to cater to her all the time

”You’re of the Gu Family’s Direct Lineage, she’s of the Hua family’s Direct Lineage

”You are a Dao Court Canon, and she is an Instructor at Hundred Flower Valley, once she reaches Golden Core, she’ll be an Elder

”That does indeed make for a suitable match

”Uh-huh!”

Mo Hua, listening on the side, nodded repeatedly.

Gu Changhuai gave Mo Hua a courtesy eye-roll.

The female Elder was displeased, “Auntie is talking to you, you should take it seriously

”You’re not young anymore, stop thinking about fighting those Sin Cultivators to the death all the time.”

”Worry more about yourself

Seeing Gu Changhuai unmoved, the female Elder sighed and whispered:

”You’re a son of a noble family, within the clan, no matter how high your Cultivation, without descendants, without continuation of the Bloodline, you will eventually be marginalized

”Isn’t that what happened to your Great Uncle?”

”He had no children or daughters in his life, had high Cultivation, his word was law in the clan, but when the end of his life approached, he had to give away all his inheritance

”Now that he’s gone and his Dao has perished, there’s not even anyone to offer incense for him.”

”I’m the only one, on festivals, who arranges an altar for him, offers tributes and lights incense

”He reached the Heaven Void, and yet it was so, much less you as a Golden Core?”

”Not to mention the family’s Spirit Stones, Pills, Spiritual Artifacts

Gu Changhuai coughed and glanced at Mo Hua, who sat quietly next to him, diligently munching on his melon.

The female Elder, impatient, said, “Don’t interrupt, he’s just a child, he won’t understand even if you speak

Gu Changhuai was speechless.

This kid has more cunning in his belly than many of the old and sly Demon Cultivators…

You really can’t see through this kid’s true face!

Gu Changhuai felt helpless inside but was too lazy to speak up, lest he be scolded by his aunt again.

The female Elder paused, “Where was I?”

Gu Changhuai didn’t want to answer.

Then Mo Hua chimed in from the side: “You were talking about the ‘clan’s Spirit Stones, Pills, and Spiritual Artifacts.’”

”Oh right,” the female Elder smiled at Mo Hua and then gave Gu Changhuai a glare, continuing:

”The family’s Spirit Stones, Pills, Spiritual Artifacts…they will certainly prioritize those branches that have established their families and have many descendants

”Once you’re married, the joining of two families supports each other, and with many people, they won’t be bullied, with real benefits, they’ll help each other, and the ‘rich water’ won’t flow into outsiders’ fields
