Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 2481: Chapter 14: As Hostile as One Is Toward Evil_2

She wasn’t really harboring any ”improper thoughts” about Mo Hua, just simply wanted to feast her eyes a bit.

After all, the journey as an escort was taxing, eating in the open air and sleeping outdoors, the chance for a feast for the eyes should be well cherished.

Mo Hua, on the other hand, was feeling a bit embarrassed by being stared at.

Ying Lady also laughed cheerfully upon seeing Mo Hua’s demeanor.

Afterwards, nothing happened along the way.

Halfway through the journey, people began to get off the carriage one by one.

There were about seven or eight people being escorted by Luo Master, including Mo Hua, but none of these were bound for Canglang City.

They were just hitching a ride with Luo Master’s carriage.

Passing by nearby Immortal Cities or some villages, they would give a heads-up in advance and get off when they reached their destinations.

Like this, the number of people on the carriage dwindled, and about fifteen days later, besides Luo Master and the people from the escort agency, Mo Hua was the only ”passenger” left.

This made the atmosphere in the carriage much more relaxed.

After all, more people meant more trouble and more risk.

If they were attacked by Monster Beasts, Bandit Cultivators, or Sin Cultivators, it would be very difficult to protect the safety of the fellow passengers.

If there were any casualties, their escort agency would have to compensate with a lot of Spirit Stones.

Now, with only Mo Hua left, it was relatively simpler; even if something happened, they could handle it.

Luo Master didn’t need to lead the way up front anymore.

The journey was exhausting, both body and mind stretched taut, even though he was in Foundation Establishment, he still needed to catch his breath.

He first checked the cargo to ensure there were no problems, then looked at Mo Hua to confirm his safety.

Mo Hua was indeed safe.

Luo Master was relieved.

This trip had been relatively smooth overall.

”Dad, have some tea.” Ying Lady poured a cup of tea and handed it to Luo Master.

Luo Master took it, feeling warm inside.

His wife left early, and he had raised his daughter alone to adulthood. Now his daughter’s cultivation was quite impressive, and she could empathize with him as a father, which brought great solace to his heart.

Luo Master took a sip of tea, glanced again at Mo Hua.

Mo Hua was also drinking tea.

Luo Master was startled, finding it increasingly difficult to see through Mo Hua, his brows gradually furrowed.

”Young Master Mo...”

Luo Master hesitated for a moment and asked softly, ”Pardon my intrusion, may I ask you a question? Of course, if it’s inconvenient, you need not answer.”

Mo Hua nodded, ”Go ahead.”

Luo Master slowly asked, ”Young Master Mo, what is your current cultivation level...”

Mo Hua paused, a bit embarrassed, ”I... am in Foundation Establishment...”

Luo Master was startled, exclaiming, ”You are in Foundation Establishment?!”

The surrounding escort leaders and escort masters all had their mouths agape.

Ying Lady covered her mouth, looking utterly incredulous.

It turned out that the ”feast for the eyes” young master she had been staring at along the way was actually a ”Foundation Establishment senior”?

They, a group of Qi Refining Cultivators, were escorting a Foundation Establishment?

Luo Master realized his gaffe, coughed, and then frowned puzzled:

”You... You are in Foundation Establishment, yet you need us to escort you?”

Mo Hua looked helpless and sighed, ”I... am rusty at spells, unable to protect myself...”

Luo Master was stunned, and then understood.

Mo Hua, with his gentle and jade-like appearance, obviously came from an aristocratic family background. Though he had cultivation, his hands were tender, he was not good at killing, and not much willing to fight others. Thus, he hired escort masters for protection.

Luo Master expressed his understanding and admiration.

He turned his head to advise all the escort disciples:

”Look at him, achieving Foundation Establishment Early Stage at such a young age. What about the future if you don’t work hard?”

All the disciples were full of admiration.

Ying Lady quickly saluted Mo Hua, somewhat embarrassed, ”I was presumptuous earlier, please accept my apologies, Young Master...”

Mo Hua laughed, ”No problem.”

Luo Master looked at Mo Hua again and asked, ”Young Master, are you going to Canglang City this time to pay a visit to relatives or friends?”

Mo Hua was silent for a moment, ”Yes, and also no.”

Luo Master was slightly stunned.
