Gu Changhuai couldnât have expected this.
Even so, he silently took a deep breath, feeling somewhat incredulous.
This kid, how is it that trouble follows him everywhere...
Itâs so uncanny.
"What happened with the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons?" Mo Hua asked.
Gu Changhuai calmed himself and sighed, "The matter of the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons is precisely the opportunity..."
"This affair has serious negative repercussions. Although it was eventually suppressed, it gave the Taoist Court an excuse to directly send people to station in the Taoist Court, to conduct inspection..."
Gu Changhuaiâs face looked somewhat unpleasant, "...which is that Xia Canonical Official of the Xia family."
Mo Hua slowly nodded.
In this world, there are consequences to every action.
He had thought the matter of the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons was over, but little did he expect it to secretly lead to this series of changes.
It not only extended the hand of the Taoist Court into the Qian Learning State Boundary.
It also attracted this "Xia Canonical Official."
Mo Hua was puzzled and asked, "The Taoist Courtâs intervention, what impact will it have on the Qianxue State?"
Gu Changhuaiâs expression was somewhat grave: "Thatâs the unpredictable part, they might just be going through the motions, inspecting for a while and then leaving; it could also be theyâre secretly investigating some truth; or perhaps, they want to take this opportunity to infiltrate their power into the Qianxue State Boundary..."
"In any case, this is just the beginning."
"It means, the Central Dao Court is also stepping into the game..."
...
Until Mo Hua left the Taoist Court and returned to the Discipleâs Residence, Gu Changhuaiâs words lingered in his mind.
The Taoist Court entering the fray.
Whether itâs good or bad is unknown...
Mo Hua frowned.
However, the grand schemes of such a colossal entity like the Taoist Court should have little to do with him, at least itâs not something he needs to worry about.
Mo Hua gathered his thoughts and pondered over the matter of Water Yama again.
The most important thing now is to capture Water Yama as soon as possible.
Capturing Water Yama, and inquiring about the extermination of the Yu Familyâs water village, and especially matters related to "sacrifice," is needed to find the altar that would advance his Divine Sense.
But Mo Hua soon realized, with the clues he currently possessed, itâs very difficult to find Water Yama, let alone capture him.
The main issue is the limited time he has, and the restrictions of his cycle rest, which makes it impossible to personally investigate many matters.
In this way, slowly unraveling the mystery, even if he could catch Water Yama, who knows how long it would take.
Too slow.
Even if he could wait, Elder Master Xun, on the other side, concerning major events about the Sectâs prosperity or decline, probably couldnât afford to wait.
Mo Hua quietly pondered for a moment, gradually forming an idea in his mind.
One must have self-awareness.
If itâs something you canât achieve, then honestly borrow strength.
A gentleman is of no different nature, but is good at utilizing things.
"The people who can help with this matter, Uncle Gu, Yu Canghai, Senior Sister Qianqian from the Hundred Flower Valley, and Wang Chen from the Gui Water Sect, are all part of the plan..."
"But itâs still not enough..."
"Still missing a stronger ally."
"And that ally is..."
Mo Huaâs eyes brightened, "The Taoist Court!"
"The Taoist Courtâs strength is unfathomable, itâs truly a colossal entity."
"Within the Qianxue State Boundary, if the Taoist Court wants to do something, they need not fear anyoneâs hindrance or reprisal."
"Now, the Taoist Court wants to set up, investigate the Gui Water Sect, so Iâll hitch a ride, and lure Water Yama into the Taoist Courtâs net, then fish in troubled waters."
"Moreover, I can take the opportunity to build a good relationship with some of the Taoist Courtâs factions."
"Any faction, not just families and Sects, also including the Taoist Court, internally is very complex."
"There are different interests, entanglements, and objectives, itâs not absolutely united."
"Building good relations with some factions within the Taoist Court, in case I ever touch on some colossal taboo and face the iron-blood suppression from the upper Taoist Court, I wonât be completely isolated."
"However..."
Mo Hua pondered, "How can I connect with the Taoist Court?"
Mo Hua thought and thought, but could only think of one person.
He took out the Letter Token and sent a message to Gu Changhuai:
"Uncle Gu, no need to worry about Instructor Huaâs side anymore, thereâs no result, use your free time to interact more with Xia Canonical Official..."
Gu Changhuai, having interacted with Mo Hua for a long time, was influenced by Mo Hua, and occasionally used Magnetic Ink to manifest some strange symbols to express his emotions.
At this moment, he sent Mo Hua a big question mark.
