With these words, Gu Changhuai and Xia Canonical Official both had a change in expression.
Even Mo Hua furrowed his brow.
Hua Ruyu glanced at Gu Changhuaiâs stiff expression and couldnât help but laugh flamboyantly, speaking in a sarcastic tone:
"You wouldnât think that Iâm just a simple Sect Instructor, would you?"
"For so many years, Iâve trained so many top-grade girls and served numerous high-ranking sons. Though some are heartless and indifferent, ultimately, there are a few who remember the past and are reluctant to see me die..."
"They cherish and adore, unwilling to see me suffer at the Taoist Court, revealing secrets that shouldnât be spoken."
"Master Xia is also a person who does great deeds, broad-minded and able to act decisively, not bothered with a little woman like me."
After finishing, Hua Ruyu glanced at Gu Changhuai with quite a bit of satisfaction.
"Unexpected, isnât it? A place like the Taoist Prison simply canât hold me. Youâve struggled to investigate for so long, yet you canât do anything to me. Some things are beyond what you mere errand boys can decide..."
Gu Changhuaiâs face was full of killing intent.
Xia Canonical Official also had anger in his eyes.
Mo Hua couldnât stand her arrogant demeanor and spoke out with concern:
"Sister Hua, what happened to your face? Why has it become so ugly, are you disfigured?"
Upon hearing this, Hua Ruyu immediately reacted like a furious fox, her expression extremely fierce, and rushed viciously towards Mo Hua.
"You little brat, Iâll kill you..."
Before she could get close to Mo Hua, Gu Changhuai reached out with his large hand, twisted her arm, and pushed her back.
Gu Changhuai wished he could slaughter Hua Ruyu.
But he knew his limits; if he really killed Hua Ruyu now, he wouldnât be able to answer to Master Xia and the Taoist Court.
His position as Supervisor would essentially be over.
Hua Ruyu staggered a few steps before regaining her balance, appearing haggard.
She knew she wasnât a match for Gu Changhuai and the others, so she just glared at them fiercely.
Especially at that "maliciously spiteful" Mo Hua, she wished she could swallow him whole.
Hua Ruyu sneered coldly:
"Alright, Iâll remember this grudge. Donât forget, I have someone backing me, itâs his Highness."
"For over a hundred years, how many girls have I trained? Among the many esteemed sons of the Qian Learning State Boundary, who hasnât experienced bone-chilling ecstasy with me?"
"Now theyâre all high-ranked, how could they truly abandon me? Sooner or later, I will make sure you all die without a trace."
After finishing, Hua Ruyu sneered and turned to leave.
Mo Hua and the other two didnât stop her, just silently stayed in their original spots.
Gu Changhuai was silent for a moment, then spoke coldly: "Iâll go find Master Xia."
Xia Canonical Official held him back, shaking his head: "No need to go."
Gu Changhuai looked silently at Xia Canonical Official.
Xia Canonical Official sighed: "Uncleâs actions are always well thought out, deeply considered; whatever decision he makes, seeking him out is useless."
Gu Changhuai glanced at Xia Canonical Official, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes, and spoke softly: "I understand."
Then he said nothing more and turned back inside.
Xia Canonical Official looked at Gu Changhuai, looking forlorn, then also turned and left.
Mo Hua watched the two leave in discontent and couldnât help but sigh.
Back in his room, Mo Hua felt a bit regretful.
"I really should have blown up Hua Ruyu, what a miscalculation..."
If he had known, he would have arranged more Formations, blowing Hua Ruyu up with the Rouge Boat, ending it once and for all.
Since she survived by chance, not being content to hide, dare to show her face, she really has tired of living.
And he doesnât even know which noble her "lover" is now.
Even Master Xia must sell his Face.
Mo Hua shook his head, feeling a bit sentimental.
The waters here are really too deep, and too dirty...
"However, Hua Ruyu didnât die..."
Mo Hua pulled out Boss Jiangâs list from his Storage Bag, seeing that on the list, under Water Yama, Madam Miaoâs name was indeed not faded, indicating Hua Ruyu, as Madam Miao, was still alive and well.
"Thatâs a pity..."
Mo Hua felt somewhat regretful.
Good people donât live long, evildoers last for a thousand years.
Mo Hua was about to consider whether to eliminate Hua Ruyu but suddenly sensed something amiss.
"Water Yama..."
He looked at the list again, especially the name "Water Yama," and couldnât help but be shaken.
"Why is Water Yamaâs name... still on the list?!"
"Isnât he dead?"
"Whatâs going on?"
"Water Yama... heâs not dead?"
Mo Huaâs pupils shook, then he shook his head.
No, impossible!
He was absolutely certain Water Yama was dead.
Killed by him with the Soul-Shocking Sword, destroying his Divine Soul, a backlash from the Pupil Skill, stabbed through the heart by Senior Brother Fengâs Longsword, pierced in the forehead by Sister Qianqianâs Spirit Needle.
Even Xiao Tianquan had given a final stab.
Not only was his body dead, but his Divine Soul also completely annihilated, he couldnât have been wrong...
"But why?"
"Why is Water Yamaâs title not erased from the list, not even slightly faded?"
Mo Huaâs brow furrowed tightly, thoughts racing.
Could it be... that the "Water Yama" who died was not actually Water Yama, at least not the Water Yama who signed a "soul contract" at the altar.
The real Water Yama is someone else?
Who could this person be?
Mo Huaâs head hurt for a while.
Suspects came to mind one after the other, but he couldnât decide.
He pondered this question the entire night, but could only speculate, unable to find an answer.
