"But the Water Prison Technique, he really liked it, so he accepted it. At the same time, he felt a bit uneasy in his heart, seeing that the cultivator was impoverished. Therefore, he also gave him some Spirit Stones and helped him find a village to settle down and establish a livelihood..."
Elder Yi’s words ended here.
Mo Hua gradually furrowed his brows, "True Man Yi fishing by the river... This river, is it the Mistwater River?"
Elder Yi nodded, "Precisely the Mistwater River."
"Did True Man Yi mention where by the Mistwater River that was?"
Elder Yi said: "My uncle didn’t mention it, but since it was fishing, I suppose it should be at the downstream river bend. Back then, I also went fishing there with my uncle a few times..."
"Downstream river bend?"
Mo Hua didn’t have any impression.
"Around thirty miles west along the turning of the Mistwater River," Elder Yi said, "The water is deep there, and Water Demons are abundant. Swamp and mud accumulate, cultivators rarely go there, but a few miles away, there’s a water village..."
Mo Hua was suddenly startled.
"A water village?!"
Elder Yi was startled by Mo Hua’s sudden shock and couldn’t help but ask:
"What’s the matter?"
"What water village?" Mo Hua asked urgently.
Elder Yi shook his head, "I just went fishing twice, caught only three or four fish, how could I pay attention to what the nearby water village was..."
Mo Hua’s heart was heavy.
He had a strong premonition.
The water village Elder Yi mentioned was likely the "Yu Family Water Village" that was recently exterminated by Water Yama!
The cultivator True Man Yi saved was likely a cultivator from the Yu Family Water Village.
The cultivators from the Yu Family Water Village possessed the heritage of the Water Prison Technique.
The Yu Family Water Village was exterminated by Water Yama.
Water Yama said, "The cultivators of the Water Prison Sect must die!"
That being said...
This Yu Family Water Village is the remaining descendants of the Water Prison Sect.
Water Yama exterminated the entire Yu Family Water Village not just to build an altar but also to kill the descendants of the Water Prison Sect to silence them?
And Yu Family Water Village... Yu...
Mo Hua’s pupils shrank.
He hadn’t realized before, but now he suddenly remembered, in the small fishing village, Old Yu, Yu Dachuan, Little Shunzi, and Little Shuizi’s family, they all bore the surname "Yu"!
Mo Hua’s heart skipped a beat.
Could Old Yu’s family also have ties to the Yu Family Water Village?
Mo Hua’s thoughts fluctuated, his expression uncertain.
Elder Yi couldn’t help but ask, "What are you thinking?"
Seeing Mo Hua unresponsive, Elder Yi asked again.
Mo Hua finally came back to his senses, said: "Nothing, I’m thinking about the Formation I haven’t finished drawing, I’ll go back first, thank you Elder Yi..."
"If you ever need anything, I will definitely help you!"
Mo Hua promised, then dashed off.
Elder Yi watched Mo Hua’s departing figure, shaking his head in confusion.
...
Mo Hua returned to the Disciple’s Residence, his mood still unsteady.
He immediately transmitted a message to Gu Changhuai, asking: "Uncle Gu, is there anything happening over at the small fishing village?"
After a while, Gu Changhuai asked:
"What matter?"
"Just..." Mo Hua thought for a moment, "Are there any Sin Cultivators or Evil Cultivators wandering nearby?"
"I have people from the Gu Family keeping an eye, for now, nothing unusual," Gu Changhuai said.
Mo Hua breathed a sigh of relief.
"What happened?" Gu Changhuai asked.
Water Yama might also exterminate the small fishing village...
Mo Hua thought about it, decided to keep it from Uncle Gu for now, since he doesn’t have evidence yet.
"I was just asking casually."
Gu Changhuai seemed a bit alert, "Are you... hiding something from me again?"
"No!" Mo Hua said.
Seeing Gu Changhuai wanting to ask more, he preemptively asked:
"Uncle Gu, have you met with the Hundred Flower Valley instructor recently?"
Gu Changhuai knew Mo Hua’s little schemes, but he knew asking would be futile, so he said:
"I have met, but she seems to have realized something, more vigilant than before."
"She suspects you?"
"For now, it seems not. Regarding matters between men and women, I pretend to be clumsy, she hasn’t been suspicious," Gu Changhuai said.
The word "pretend" was a bit redundant...
Mo Hua murmured inwardly.
But he didn’t say it out loud, fearing Uncle Gu’s pettiness and holding grudges.
"Uncle Gu, it’s up to you," Mo Hua encouraged.
Regarding Hua Ruyu, it’s up to Uncle Gu to find clues through matchmaking.
Gu Changhuai only responded with a faint "Hmm."
The conversation ended.
Mo Hua felt slightly relieved but hadn’t completely let go.
"Yu Family Water Village, small fishing village..."
Mo Hua felt he still had to personally go and take a look.
A few days later, as the rest day arrived, Mo Hua drove alone away from Taixu Gate, followed along the Mistwater River, passed several Immortal Cities, purchased some items, and eventually reached the small fishing village.
The small fishing village was indeed safe and sound.
Old Yu was overjoyed to see Mo Hua.
In his eyes, Mo Hua was truly an "Honored Guest."
Not the right time to talk, seeing other Fish Cultivators around, Mo Hua said:
"Can I go pay respects to the..." Mo Hua pointed to the back of the village, "Little Immortal?"
Old Yu said happily: "Of course, of course, hoping that Little Immortal may also bless the benefactor with prosperity like the East Sea and boundless Dao path."
I bless myself...
Mo Hua felt a bit delicate.
Reaching the back of the village, Mo Hua placed some melons and fruits up, then pretended to pray to his statue.
It was still morning, Fish Cultivators busy with livelihoods, Old Yu didn’t follow, no other people around.
Mo Hua quietly said: "Come out."
After a moment, a bright white silver fish swam out from behind the majestic Little Immortal statue and nodded in reverence to Mo Hua.
"Greetings Benefactor."
"You’re too thin, I brought some food for you, to nourish you." Mo Hua pointed to the Spirit Melons and Spirit Fruits on the offering table.
He had always fed Lord Yellow Mountain...
