The Quest for Immortality

Mo Hua is a principled person.

To repay debts is only natural.

Although back then, he assumed ”Mr. Yuan’s” identity to do business with this Elder You, eventually selling out Elder You and causing the Demon Sect of Qianxue to be completely annihilated.

But a debt is a debt, no matter the outcome, the Spirit Stone was indeed owed by this Elder You.

If Elder You were dead, the debt would naturally be written off, and Mo Hua would feel a bit regretful, but have nothing to say.

Yet now, not only is this Elder You not dead, he’s standing right in front of him.

This old debt cannot be ignored.

After all, 1.8 million is no small amount.

Mo Hua, a child from a poor family, has always been thrifty; debts owed to him must be collected.

However...

Mo Hua still felt a bit puzzled.

How could this Elder You still be alive?

The Demon Sect was annihilated, but he survived.

He managed to survive the tumult of the Large Formation of blood traces?

Even in such a major disaster at the Qian Learning State Boundary, he managed to come out unscathed...

What kind of person is this ”Elder You” anyway?

And why is this Li San mingling with Elder You? He seems quite loyal to him?

Mo Hua’s heart was full of doubts, becoming more puzzled the more he thought.

A moment later, his gaze focused slightly, thinking to himself: ”No matter, find this Elder You first given the opportunity and push for the debt repayment.”

Currently, Elder You is like a walking ”1.8 million.”

”And this Li San... is he really loyal to ’Elder You’?”

Mo Hua’s gaze became somewhat subtle.

Just then, Elder You cupped his hand to Young Master Tuoba, saying, ”Miss will arrive shortly, please wait, Young Master Tuoba.”

The always proud Young Master Tuoba surprisingly showed a smile and, with a wave, said:

”Alright, Elder You, please have a seat. Servants, serve tea.”

Mo Hua went over to pour tea for Elder You, who owed him 1.8 million.

As Mo Hua poured tea, Elder You felt a chill in his heart.

But this chill was fleeting and quickly disappeared without a trace.

Elder You’s gaze narrowed slightly as he looked around, noticing that besides Young Master Tuoba and a few servants, there were no other people in the hall. He frowned slightly but did not pay much attention.

Li San, being only at Foundation Establishment and of low status, did not have the qualification to sit, so he stood silently behind Elder You, looking obstinate and devout.

The hall grew slightly quiet for a moment.

It seemed that Young Master Tuoba and the others were all waiting for someone.

Mo Hua thought, truly, with Young Master Tuoba’s haughty nature and poor temper, that he would wait for someone?

Who is he waiting for? Who is worthy of such patience from him?

Is it the ”Miss” Elder You mentioned?

Mo Hua didn’t say a word, patiently waiting as well.

Not half an hour later, many footsteps suddenly came from outside. Amidst mist and clouds, with ornaments clinking, a woman clad in luxurious Jinxiu walked in with her head held high, surrounded by a group of guards.

Elder You immediately stood up and greeted her respectfully.

Upon seeing this woman’s appearance, Young Master Tuoba was momentarily captivated, then he stood up and greeted her with a smile, saying:

”Miss Hua, you indeed have a beauty that could topple kingdoms and shame flowers. To see you today is a fortunate opportunity of a lifetime.”

Miss Hua seemed accustomed to such flattering remarks and simply responded with a faint ”hmm.”

Young Master Tuoba, polite and decorous, said: ”Please, Miss Hua, take the seat of honor.”

As the fragrance silently swirled, with lotus-like steps and the clinking of golden jade, Miss Hua walked to the banquet’s seat of honor and took her place.

The seat was positioned even slightly higher than that of the host, Young Master Tuoba.

Mo Hua was curious but dared not look directly, afraid of arousing suspicion.

When everyone had sat down and the banquet commenced, cups clinking, he subtly raised his head to glance at the woman in the seat of honor.

She was an exceptionally noble-looking woman, wearing an extremely luxurious dress.

One could tell at a glance that she was of high status and raised in comfort from a young age.

Dressed in golden silk and jade thread, with a veil like snow, moon, and elegance, her glossy black hair was adorned with a dazzling golden phoenix and red jade hairpin, accentuating her fair skin.

Her face was naturally beautiful, like fine sculptures of jade, exquisitely delicate.

Only her eyes revealed an imperious arrogance, looking down upon others.

Mo Hua was slightly dazed, then quietly compared her in his heart, shaking his head slightly.

This ”Miss Hua,” while beautiful in appearance, seemed shallow in gaze and lacked the elegance and charm, seeming somewhat superficial.

Compared to his gentle, kind, and caring Senior Sister, she fell far short.

Mo Hua felt somewhat disinterested.

But undeniably, the ”Miss Hua” was indeed extremely beautiful.

During the banquet, the arrogant and self-satisfied gaze of Young Master Tuoba, almost predatory, was fixed almost entirely on the beautiful Miss Hua.

Accompanying Miss Hua were Elders, guards, and several aristocratic young masters of unmistakable status and exceptional talent, who seemed to be ”suitors” of Miss Hua as well.

Sitting in the seat of honor, Miss Hua was like the moon surrounded by stars.

Every smile, every gesture, determined the banquet’s atmosphere, drawing everyone’s attention.

This Miss Hua, full of vanity, seemed to greatly enjoy it all.

Mo Hua pondered deeply:

”Miss Hua... is she from the ’Hua’ family? Where is this Hua family, a great aristocratic family? Qian State? Kun State? Or Li State? Probably not Great Wilderness...”

”That place, the Great Wilderness, likely couldn’t produce such a noble woman.”

”What on earth is she doing in this Great Wilderness?”

”And Elder You, following her lead unconditionally, is he also from the Hua family?”

”So then, why did he become an Elder of the Demon Sect?”
