Chapter 1098: Younger Brother

A face of evil strangeness, "Yu Er", reflecting the lantern light in the black night, then watching Mo Hua so sinisterly.

But Mo Hua's expression was calm, without surprise, astonishment, fear, or any other abnormal emotions.

For some reason, "Yu Er" suddenly couldn't laugh anymore.

Mo Hua stretched out a white and delicate finger, pointed at "Yu Er"'s forehead, and said lightly: "You are finally willing to come out, I have waited for you for a day."

"Yu Er"'s face changed slightly, "You... know?"

Mo Hua said: "If an evil god were so easy to kill, it wouldn't be called an evil god."

He knew this better than anyone.

"Yu Er"'s face was ugly, and he said hoarsely: "What do you want to do?"

Mo Hua's eyes revealed a golden color, and his divine light was sharp.

The "Yu Er" who had been cut into four pieces by Mo Hua felt his heart tremble, his expression extremely solemn. After a moment, he suddenly grinned with a sinister smile, confidently:

"You want to kill me? Don't forget, I am now one with Yu Er, I am Yu Er, Yu Er is me. If you kill me, you kill Yu Er."

"Your Tianmo Zhan cannot separate us either."

Mo Hua nodded: "Correct, if you were parasitizing on someone else, I would have long ago chopped you and the divine fetus into nothingness, leaving you dead and your path extinguished."

"But the person you are parasitizing is Yu Er. Out of consideration for him, I indeed have no way."

"I brought you out today, let you show your face, just to warn you..."

"Warn me?" "Yu Er" sneered, "What do you rely on to warn me? Do you think your warning will be useful?"

Mo Hua's expression was indifferent, his gaze majestic.

The smile on "Yu Er"'s face disappeared, and his face became ugly.

"You should know," Mo Hua said lightly, "The reason I don't kill you is entirely because of Yu Er."

"In other words, Yu Er is your 'protective talisman'."

"As long as Yu Er is alive and well, you can be alive."

"If one day..." In Mo Hua's tone, an ice-cold sharpness was revealed, "I discover... no, even if I calculate that Yu Er's life soul is extinguished, his divine consciousness vanished, then even if it's ten thousand miles away, I will come to Qianzhou once and personally draw out your soul and crack it."

"You should have experienced my methods..."

"Even if you are an evil god, I will make you unable to seek life or death. I will make you forever and ever become my 'sacrificial victim', like a pig or dog, swallowed raw and skinned alive by me, casting the foundation of my divine path."

Every word and sentence was against heaven and blasphemed against the gods.

"Yu Er" was furious, his eyes blood-red, blood threads ferocious, but a deep dread surged up in his heart.

It knew that the "person" in front of it might not be speaking empty words.

To walk the divine path with a mortal body, committing the great dao taboo, was originally a great anomaly in the heavens.

And on his body, great good and great evil were intertwined, killing aura, heavenly secrets, karma, luck, mixed together, a piece of chaos, deep and immeasurable.

More importantly, it had already been "chopped" alive by him once, its divine soul separated, and its vitality greatly injured.

And this half-human, half-god monster was still in its "childhood period".

Ten years, fifty years, one hundred years later, what would it become?

The evil god true fetus "Yu Er" felt a chill born in its heart, even a trace of instinctive fear.

Mo Hua looked into "Yu Er"'s eyes, confirmed his fear, and nodded:

"Very good, it seems you understand."

"Yu Er" seemed somewhat humiliated, his gaze fierce, looking at Mo Hua.

Mo Hua shook his head, "Don't look at me with those eyes, I don't like it. Also..."

Mo Hua with his finger, one after another, pointed at "Yu Er"'s forehead, "That sentence 'Mo brother' you just said, it was very sweet, I like it very much."

"Remember, in front of me, you will forever just be a 'younger brother'."

The evil god true fetus finally became annoyed and ashamed into anger, unwilling to directly face Mo Hua, and closed his eyes.

"Yu Er"'s evil strangeness also gradually faded. After a moment, when he opened his eyes again, his gaze was clear, and he had changed back to the original Yu Er.

Mo Hua watched him warmly.

Yu Er, being watched by Mo Hua, felt as if his inner secret had been discovered. He was a little guilty, a little ashamed, a little afraid, and didn't know how to speak. Finally, tears flowed from his eyes, and he said somewhat fearfully:

"Mo brother, I... I... became bad..."

Mo Hua rubbed Yu Er's forehead and said warmly:

"Everyone's heart has evil. Everyone's inner self is mixed with good and evil."

"You were too kind before, and even if you are 'bad' now, you are just like ordinary people, there is no difference, so there is no need to take it too much to heart."

Yu Er seemed to understand somewhat and nodded, but his heart was still uneasy:

"But... I feel like I've become two people, one good Yu Er, one bad Yu Er..."

Mo Hua asked: "Does the 'bad Yu Er' in your heart bully you?"

Yu Er nodded timidly:

"It will tell me very unpleasant words, it will threaten me, it will force me, it will also... scold me... it will make me produce many bad thoughts..."

Yu Er's voice became lower and lower.

Mo Hua then smiled slightly: "Then use these 'evil thoughts' to temper your dao heart."

Yu Er was startled, "Temper... dao heart?"

Mo Hua nodded, "Not purely good, then called good. There is originally no such person under heaven, no such truly one dust not stained 'good'."

"A kind heart will also be covered with dirt, will be stained with evil thoughts, will struggle painfully because of the contradiction between good and evil."

"In the struggle between good and evil, to be able to persist in one's original heart, not change one's initial intention, this is true good."

"This kind of 'good' tempered through enduring contradiction is more rare and precious than innate pure 'good'."

"So, there is no need to fear, face your original heart directly. Treat all evil thoughts as 'tools' to temper your inner self, so that your dao heart will become stronger and stronger, tougher and tougher, and even if you undergo calamity, you will remain one dust not stained."

Yu Er's eyes gradually lit up, but then became a little afraid again:

"But, that bad Yu Er is very fierce, very strong, I..."

Mo Hua laughed: "That's just a bluffing thing, there's no need to be afraid of it. It can live entirely because of you."

Yu Er was startled, "Because of me?"

Mo Hua nodded and said to Yu Er:

"I looked at your face and didn't pinch it to death. If it weren't for you, it would have died ten thousand times long ago. So, you are its 'master', and even more its 'benefactor'."

"I am its 'master'..." Yu Er murmured, his eyes bright, and he felt endless courage surge up in his heart.

He raised his head and looked at Mo Hua, his heart also feeling extremely stable.

Mo brother's words are definitely right.

Mo brother says he can pinch it to death, he can definitely pinch it to death.

He doesn't need to fear anything.

Yu Er's small face showed a smile again.

The darkest secret that had been hidden in his heart for days also gradually dispersed.

"Good," Mo Hua again touched Yu Er's head, "It's time to go back, there will be many good foods tonight."

"Um!" Yu Er's eyes were slightly moist, and he nodded with a smile.

After returning to the Gu family, the evening banquet was about to begin.

Sect graduation was imminent, and this was probably the last evening banquet Mo Hua would eat in the Gu family.

Mo Hua's seating position was very high, and he basically ate the best food.

Yu Er was brought to his side by him, and the two of them ate very happily.

After eating for a while, people successively toasted Mo Hua.

This was a family banquet, the attendees were all Gu family people, and Mo Hua had a good relationship with them. Naturally, Mo Hua did not refuse, and drank until both his cheeks were red.

The atmosphere of the banquet was also relaxed and harmonious.

Just as they were eating, suddenly several other guests arrived.

Mo Hua also recognized these people.

It was Xia Jiancha and Xia Diansi, accompanied by all Xia family people.

Gu Shouyan was a little surprised, but still stood up to welcome them, saying: "Impolite, impolite, I did not know Jiancha adult arrived, I have lost the welcome."

Xia Jiancha's face also hung an indifferent smile, "Uninvited guests, I still hope the family head does not dislike my abruptness."

"Where, where," Gu Shouyan said, then ordered people to arrange seats.

The Xia family was a great world family in Daozhou, a power noble of the Dao Court.

Xia Jiancha was a Jiancha directly affiliated with the Dao Court.

The Gu family had served as Diansi in the Dao Court for generations.

Both emotionally and rationally, Gu Shouyan dared not neglect them. And Gu Shouyan was also clear about Xia Jiancha's intentions.

Xia Jiancha was specially arranged to sit beside Mo Hua. After sitting down, he nodded to Mo Hua, then his gaze subconsciously fell on Yu Er.

Mo Hua was slightly alert in his heart and immediately said:

"Yu Er, take these Liuli fruits to Aunt Wan to taste."

Yu Er obediently nodded, holding a cup of fruits, and went to find his mother.

Xia Jiancha withdrew his gaze.

Mo Hua then calmly drank the treasured Furong wine brew of the Gu family.

Ordinary people did not know about Yu Er being chosen as the "evil fetus" by the Great Wilderness Evil God, but Xia Jiancha, as a central Dao Court Jiancha, definitely knew about it.

At this time, the evil god disaster seemed to be eliminated, but Yu Er's identity was still very sensitive, so Mo Hua did not dare to expose Yu Er too much in Xia Jiancha's sight.

Xia Jiancha, on the contrary, did not mind.

It was not his turn to worry about Yu Er's matter. This trip was just for Mo Hua.

Since the blood sacrifice incident, Old Mister Xun watched strictly, and these Dao Court forces really had no opportunity to contact Mo Hua.

Mo Hua's array ability was unbelievably strange.

The karma on his body also made people unpredictable.

Xia Jiancha was very curious in his heart and very much wanted to spy on him thoroughly, but he also knew that now was not the time.

"Mo little friend, what are your plans after graduating from the outer sect? Are you going to enter the Tai Xu inner sect as an elder?" Xia Jiancha asked politely.

Mo Hua shook his head, "Not sure."

"That is, rely on the Qianxue world family to seek an origin?"

Mo Hua shook his head, "Hard to say."

"Go back to your old home in Lizhou?"

Mo Hua still shook his head, "Not sure."

Xia Jiancha was silent and sighed secretly in his heart.

This boy, he didn't know who he learned from, but at a young age, he already had the style of an "old ancestor", speaking ambiguously, impervious to oil and salt, and when asked three questions, he answered three not knowing.

But Mo Hua not saying anything was also very normal.

His current status was special, his apparent identity was already extraordinary, and it was impossible to easily leak information.

Xia Jiancha took out a token and handed it to Mo Hua.

"This is my Xia family's Fu Yuan token. Later, if you want to enter the Xia family, whether it is to conclude a marriage, learn arrays, seek inheritance, or simply visit, you can show this Fu Yuan token, and my Xia family will entertain you well."

Fu Yuan token?

Mo Hua hesitated a bit.

He was afraid that taking this so-called "Fu Yuan token" would stain some karma. He was also afraid that Xia Jiancha had played tricks inside this "Fu Yuan token".

But after thinking about it, Mo Hua felt that he might be overthinking.

The "Fu Yuan" of the Xia family in Daozhou was something many people sought but could not find.

Moreover, the dignified Xia Jiancha would not resort to using some small tricks to scheme against him.

If he was really uneasy, he could take it back and let Old Mister Xun help him look...

Mo Hua thought in his heart, then received the token and thanked him, saying:

"I have received Xia Jiancha's great kindness, Mo Hua is infinitely grateful."

Xia Jiancha nodded slightly.

He had given the Xia family's Fu Yuan token, and his purpose was achieved. Other matters could not be discussed now.

Xia Jiancha only drank a few cups of wine, then stood up to leave.

The clear and beautiful Xia Diansi, wearing a light moon-colored skirt, also stood up and left. Just as she was leaving, she turned her eyes and looked at Gu Changhuai, who was drinking by himself in the crowd. There was an instant of sadness.

All this was seen by Xia Jiancha.

But his expression was calm and he did not speak.

After Xia Jiancha left, Mo Hua called Yu Er over again and ate delicacies with him.

Without outsiders, the atmosphere of the evening banquet gradually became relaxed and comfortable again.

After finishing the evening banquet, Wen Ren Wan took Yu Er to digest the food.

Mo Hua then went with Elder Gu Hong and chatted for a while.

After chatting, he specifically went to see Gu Changhuai.

In less than two months, he would leave the border of Qianxue Prefecture.

Thinking of the bits and pieces he had experienced with Uncle Gu for nearly ten years, Mo Hua felt quite reluctant.

Uncle Gu was a typical "cold face, warm heart".

These years, as a Diansi in the Dao Court, he had taken good care of him, and had also helped him a lot in many dangerous events.

Of course, he had also carried many "black pots" for himself...

And now, he was leaving.

He didn't know if he would be able to adventure with Uncle Gu again in the future.

Mo Hua sighed and said: "Uncle Gu, take more care."

Gu Changhuai was silent for a moment, looking at Mo Hua, inexplicably sad, and finally said sincerely:

"I have nothing good to say, and perhaps... nothing I can help you with, I only wish you, with one thought, seek immortality, and your dao path be boundless."

These words, coming from the mouth of Uncle Gu, who was always cold in temperament, still moved Mo Hua very much.

He immediately blessed him in return: "Uncle Gu, I also wish you an early marriage and an early birth of a noble son."

Gu Changhuai's face darkened, and the bit of parting sorrow in his heart instantly flew away.

Mo Hua sighed: "It's just a pity, I can't drink your wedding wine."

Gu Changhuai said: "There's no need to pity that."

Mo Hua then asked: "The matter with Sister Xia, are you not going to make an effort?"

Gu Changhuai paused, his expression a little unnatural, "I... I'm very busy..."

"Sister Xia is also very busy, and..." Mo Hua said, "You are both in the Dao Court Si, handling cases together. If you are busy, aren't you busy together?"

Gu Changhuai had nothing to say.

After a moment, the always arrogant Gu Changhuai actually showed a trace of gloom on his face.

"She is a Xia family person..."

Mo Hua shook his head, "Matters in this world are only about whether you want it or not. If you want it, then do it, don't let go. Everything else is not important, and there is no need to worry about gains and losses, that is purely a waste of time."

Gu Changhuai looked at Mo Hua in surprise, thought for a moment, and actually felt it was quite reasonable, and couldn't help but sigh.

No wonder Mo Hua, at a young age, could have such high array strength.

At least this transparency of mind was hard for ordinary people to achieve.

Not anxious, not consuming internally, all thoughts are devoted to action.

Gu Changhuai nodded and sighed: "I understand..."

He looked at Mo Hua deeply again, "If there is an opportunity in the future, come back to Qianzhou, definitely come to the Gu family, I will treat you."

Mo Hua laughed: "Certainly."

After chatting with Gu Changhuai, Mo Hua strolled around the Gu family for a while, played with Yu Er for a while, and did not return to the sect in the evening, but stayed in the Gu family for one night.

The night gradually deepened.

Xia family mansion.

This was a mansion arranged by the Xia family in the border of Qianxue Prefecture, used for their clan cultivators to live, cultivate, and for temporary stays.

Although it was a temporary residence, this mansion was still arranged very luxuriously.

At this time, in a study room, Xia Jiancha was sitting up, flipping through the official jade slips of the Qianxue Dao Court Si.

Xia Diansi was standing respectfully, answering Xia Jiancha's questions.

The two of them asked and answered.

After half an hour, after the official business was finished, the room suddenly became quiet.

Xia Jiancha raised his eyes, looked at Xia Diansi, and said slowly:

"Three days later, I will return to Daozhou to report for duty, you just stay here, no need to go back."

Xia Diansi was startled, and said urgently: "Uncle..."

Xia Jiancha shook his head, "Here in Qianxue, the world families are too strong, and the sects are powerful. The superiors don't like it, so they need to leave people to watch."

Xia Diansi was silent.

Xia Jiancha gazed at Xia Diansi, and after a moment, said again: "Gu Changhuai is too stubborn, I don't like him."

Xia Diansi's gaze dimmed.

"But..." Xia Jiancha sighed slightly, "He is indeed an excellent Diansi. From the perspective of family background, he is a 'second-rate' marriage prospect, but from the perspective of being a person, he is a 'good man' to accompany for a lifetime..."

Xia Diansi's expression was astonished, somewhat unbelievable that these words would actually come from her uncle's mouth.

"I am a Dao Court Jiancha, and I am still very accurate at judging people..." Xia Jiancha said.

Of course, there are always exceptions, and Mo Hua was an accident at that time.

There was also no way, this boy Mo Hua, no matter who came, would misjudge him.

Xia Diansi's expression was complex.

Xia Jiancha sighed, his tone also eased a lot:

"I have told you, the world family is such a place."

"If you want preferential treatment, you have to pay the price. If you don't pay the price, then don't think the family will take care of you."

"If you obey the clan's arrangements and marry into a low-level fifth-grade world family, then I will give you abundant resources, enough to support you in cultivating to featherization, and you will also have a certain say in the clan."

"If you don't want to marry, then the clan's 'support' must be greatly reduced."

"You can no longer squeeze into the power center of the Xia family, you can only step by step become a 'marginal person'."

"I will leave you in the border of Qianxue Prefecture, this is the last thing I can do for you."

"After that, everything, you can only seek blessing for yourself..."

Xia Diansi was a little dazed, and a trace of emotion was born in her heart.

She knew that her uncle, although a bit cold and harsh in his actions, was by no means impersonal.

It's just that the great world family is not a really good place. Among the cultivators of a lineage, there always need to be some people who are utilitarian, some who are harsh, and some who do impersonal things, so that others can live freely.

Xia Diansi bowed, solemnly bowing to Xia Jiancha:

"These years, thank you for your uncle's care. I know that my father and mother also secretly received a lot of care from uncle..."

Xia Jiancha waved his hand and said lightly:

"Don't think too much, it is I who want to go up. Your father and mother are the kind of people who are satisfied with drinking water, muddling along, and I find it annoying to look at them."

Xia Diansi did not comment. After a moment, she still said sincerely:

"Uncle, you... take more care."

Xia Jiancha silently looked at Xia Diansi, thinking about this girl whom he had watched grow up from a young age. Sometimes he really treated her like his own daughter. It was a pity that she seemed smart, but she was a silly girl, clay cannot stick to the wall...

Xia Jiancha sighed deeply.

"You too... take more care."

The next day, Mo Hua left the Gu family.

He didn't know when he would come back to freeload another meal.

Wen Ren Wan packed some spirit stones, spirit objects, pills, and the array books that had been accumulated every day, and gave them to Mo Hua as gifts.

It was just that her face occasionally showed a trace of deep worry, as if she wanted to say something to Mo Hua, but she was a little hesitant to speak.

Mo Hua then opened his mouth and asked: "Aunt Wan, is there something?"

Wen Ren Wan was stunned for a moment, saw Mo Hua's gaze was clear, and after repeatedly hesitating, frowned and said slowly:

"Mo Hua, I feel that Yu Er... is a bit strange..."

Mo Hua was startled and realized that Aunt Wan had also discovered Yu Er's abnormality.

As a mother, she was meticulous and more sensitive to her own child's matters. After so many days, it was impossible for Wen Ren Wan not to detect it.

And she didn't dare to mention this matter to anyone.

After all, she also knew that Yu Er was the "evil fetus" that summoned the evil god.

Now that Yu Er was alive, everyone took it for granted that the evil fetus had been "extinguished". But if there were any evil abnormalities in Yu Er's body again, then he...

Wen Ren Wan pursed her lips tightly, her face pale.

That period of time, full of fear and the taste of heartache, floated in her heart again, as if Yu Er, whom she had finally saved, would again be lost like a dream bubble in an instant...

Mo Hua's gaze was sympathetic, and he comforted her gently: "Aunt Wan, rest assured, Yu Er is fine."

Listening to Mo Hua's words, Wen Ren Wan was a little relieved.

But when she thought of the occasionally seen evil and strange little face, she still didn't feel completely at ease, "Really... fine?"

Mo Hua nodded and said in a deep voice: "Aunt Wan, you just need to remember that no matter what happens, Yu Er is forever your child."

"You are forever Yu Er's mother."

"As long as you remember this, everything will be fine."

Yu Er, he is forever my child...

Wen Ren Wan was a little astonished. After thinking for a moment, the fear in her heart actually slowly stabilized.

"I understand."

Wen Ren Wan's gentle and beautiful face showed a warm smile.
