The Quest for Immortality-Chapter 948: - Inside Traitor

Gu Changhuai's head was twisted like a pretzel; he couldn't make sense of it for the longest time.

This medallion was indeed from the Taoist Court.

Mo Hua, this kid, even if audacious, wouldn't dare to forge a Taoist Court medallion.

Bronze signified it was external staff.

Yet, an external staff's medallion was still a medallion and belonged to the Taoist Court, not something a regular cultivator could get their hands on.

"Where did you steal this medallion from?"

Gu Changhuai asked with a face full of suspicion.

"What do you mean 'steal'?" Mo Hua responded unhappily, "This was personally given to me by the Court Leader of our Taoist Court in Tongxian City!"

"Tongxian City?"

Gu Changhuai remembered, it was the remote, Second Grade Little Immortal City where Mo Hua came from.

Gu Changhuai frowned, "Is your Court Leader a relative of yours?"

Mo Hua shook his head, "No."

"Did you marry into their family?"

"No!"

Gu Changhuai puzzled, "Then why on earth would he give you a bronze medallion?"

Mo Hua looked at Gu Changhuai with a face saying you shouldn't judge an honorable man by your own standards and confidently said,

"Of course, the Court Leader saw that I was talented and young, so he gave me the medallion to let me be a part of..."

Mo Hua nearly blurted out "mixing for merit points" again...

He could not say "mixing for merit points."

Otherwise, Uncle Gu would know that he, although nominally identified, was just a minor player in the Taoist Court.

In the future, Uncle Gu could possibly be his "leader."

In front of a leader, looking "ambitious and proactive" is essential!

Mo Hua then smoothly corrected himself,

"…serve the Taoist Court, benefit the cultivators of Tongxian City, and contribute to the peace of the Cultivation World!"

"Benefit?" Gu Changhuai shook his head, "What blessings can you bring at such a young age?"

"I have brought great blessings!"

Mo Hua asserted righteously.

He killed a Big Demon himself.

On the Demon Suppression Monument outside Tongxian City, his name was even engraved.

It was in the topmost line, with the largest characters, and even gilded!

Mo Hua!

Every time he passed by, he always looked at these two big characters a few times.

Gu Changhuai was full of disbelief.

Just keep bragging...

Mo Hua couldn't be bothered to explain; he was used to people not believing what he said.

"No matter what, it's my medallion! I count as half a person of the Taoist Court..."

Mo Hua looked at Gu Changhuai with wide, sincere eyes, trusting, "Uncle Gu, you are over a hundred years old and your words must hold true!"

Gu Changhuai furrowed his brows.

He was careless.

In an impulsive moment, he walked straight into this kid's trap and got caught up in his words.

What would he expect from a Loose Cultivator just admitted to Taixu Gate, secretly possessing a bronze medallion of the Taoist Court...

This kid was as cunning as a fox, crafty and devious; next time he spoke to him, he needed to be more careful not to provide a handle to be criticized...

Gu Changhuai sharpens his attention.

He thought for a moment, then still made an excuse, "I only said I'd consider, I didn't promise..."

"So, how is your consideration going?"

Gu Changhuai coughed once, averted his gaze, picked up the wine jug, poured himself a drink and drank it all casually, "I'm busy now, haven't decided yet, we will talk in a few days..."

Is this how adults play dirty…

Mo Hua learned something new.

In the future, when he wants to procrastinate or be tricky, he would use this tactic.

Mo Hua nodded his head, "Alright then."

Gu Changhuai was startled; he hadn't expected Mo Hua to suddenly be so easy to talk to, just letting it go so readily?

Unlikely...

Gu Changhuai tensed up inside, his gaze sharpening, "You're not going to speak ill of me in front of my cousin and Yu Er, are you?"

Mo Hua looked at Gu Changhuai, pondered for a long while, and honestly said:

"Uncle Gu, you also don't have any 'good things' for me to say about you, right?"

He had a bad temper.

And was somewhat flamboyant.

Beggars for help are refused;

And goes back on his word, playing dirty on him...

Even if he wanted to say some "good things" about him in front of Aunt Wan and Yu Er, he wouldn't know where to start…

Gu Changhuai was stunned, then fell silent, his expression became complicated.

Mo Hua was right, it seemed…

"See," Mo Hua glanced at Gu Changhuai and sighed, "How can I speak well of you to Aunt Wan and Yu Er if you don't treat me better?"

"If I only know your faults, wouldn't everything I say be bad?"

Can't blame me for that...

Mo Hua looked like he was being reasonable and helpless.

Gu Changhuai's eyelids twitched, but thinking of his cousin and Yu Er, he ultimately could only sigh, "Fine, what do you actually want to do?"

Mo Hua's eyes lit up, "I want to catch Fire Buddha!"

Gu Changhuai still didn't get it, "You're just an apprentice, why are you competing with Fire Buddha?"

Mo Hua earnestly said, "I'm petty and hold grudges, Fire Buddha wants to kill me, I don't want to let him off either."

Gu Changhuai was stunned.

Petty, holds grudges...

This chapt𝓮r is updat𝒆d by ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom.

That was way too "honest."

But being petty probably wasn't a lie...

Gu Changhuai's handsome eyes looked at Mo Hua, narrowing slightly, "Anything else?"

"Anything else?"

"Your reason for catching Fire Buddha mustn't be this simple..."

Gu Changhuai asserted.

Surely fitting for a Supervisor of the Taoist Court, he was truly not easy to fool...

Mo Hua thought for a moment then said, "If I help you, no if 'we' in the Taoist Court catch Fire Buddha, can I get a share of the merit points?"

"You're that short of merit points?" Gu Changhuai wondered.

"Are there ever too many merit points?" Mo Hua retorted.

Gu Changhuai was briefly startled, then nodded in agreement.
