Mo Hua saw such extravagantly luxurious meals for the first time, not understanding the fuss but seeing they looked very expensive.
The table was full of dishes, none of which he recognized.
Because they were so pricey, the feeling in his mouth as he ate was very subtle.
Mo Hua didn’t know if the food was actually tasty or not.
He only felt like he was chewing on "Spirit Stones" instead of food…
However, luckily he wasn’t picky and ate very happily.
Yu Er sat beside Mo Hua, not feeling hungry, but seeing Mo Hua eating happily, he followed suit like a clever little student, eating whatever Mo Hua ate.
Wenren Wan watched Yu Er intently, afraid that if she blinked, her child would disappear again.
She still felt like she was dreaming.
Initially, in despair, she had held onto a sliver of hope. Yet she hadn’t expected that by simply stepping out the door, she would indeed find the child she had thought about day and night.
Wenren Wan found it somewhat inconceivable.
Shangguan Yi was even more incredulous.
Upon hearing that Yu Er had been found, he rushed over. Upon truly seeing Yu Er, he was delighted and shocked but also very puzzled, murmuring to himself,
"This can’t be possible…"
This went against the heavenly secret, against cause and effect, things simply shouldn’t, and couldn’t, be this way…
Wenren Wan did not give him a warm welcome.
Shangguan Yi knew to withdraw tactfully, and he did not stay long.
With his son and wife safe, the weight in his heart lifted. As for his relationship with his wife, he would mend it slowly over time.
Shangguan Yi thanked Mo Hua and said, "Young friend, if you ever need anything in the future, just say the word. The Shangguan Family…"
"I’m not interested," Wenren Wan coldly cut him off. "Leave quickly, your presence spoils my appetite."
Shangguan Yi gave a wry smile, helpless, and took his leave, but just before leaving, he cast a thoughtful glance at Mo Hua, wondering something to himself.
Aside from Shangguan Yi, Mo Hua also met a gentleman from the Gu family.
Exceptionally handsome, he carried a paper fan and exuded a certain grace, though he seemed a bit too proud.
Wenren Wan said, "This is my cousin, Gu by surname, Changhuai by name."
Mo Hua politely said, "Hello, Uncle Gu."
Gu Changhuai was greatly surprised, yet all he offered were words of gratitude. Beyond that, he asked nothing. After staying a while, he bid farewell.
When he left, he also glanced at Mo Hua.
In his haughty gaze was deep skepticism.
Mo Hua quietly asked Wenren Wan, "Aunt Wan, is this Uncle Gu someone who isn’t well-liked? His way of looking at people is a bit odd…"
Wenren Wan was startled and then couldn’t help but laugh, saying,
"Don’t mind him, Changhuai is kind-hearted. He’s just youthful and arrogant."
"And since it’s his first time meeting you, he might have been a bit uncomfortable, thus seeming distant. Don’t take it to heart."
"Okay," Mo Hua nodded.
"By the way," Mo Hua asked again, "that uncle who looked handsome and seemed mild-mannered, is he Yu Er’s father?"
Wenren Wan spoke with slight disdain, "Yes…"
She briefly explained Yu Er’s identity to Mo Hua.
Yu Er was a child of a union between the Shangguan and Wenren Noble Clans, possessing the purest lineage of both families, which is why his full name was "Shang Guanyu."
Mo Hua continued eating what seemed like a chicken leg, but he didn’t know from which Spirit Beast or bird it came. He looked calm, even somewhat clueless.
"Do you know about the Wenren Family?" Wenren Wan asked out of the blue.

Mo Hua shook his head.
"How about the Shangguan Family?"
Mo Hua still shook his head.
Being from a small place like Tongxian City, he was almost completely ignorant about the matters of the noble families in Qian State.
The map he had of Qian State, though it marked some noble clans, hadn’t caught his interest that much...
His attention was focused on the major Sects of the Qian Learning State Boundary.
This content is taken from freeweɓnovel.cѳm.
And these noble clans were a confusing mess.
Everyone talked about their depth of history and lineage, the vastness of their power, some lasting thousands or even tens of thousands of years...
Mo Hua simply couldn’t distinguish who was who…
Wenren Wan was somewhat surprised; she hadn’t expected Mo Hua to truly know nothing.
"You... aren’t a Cultivator from Qian State, are you..." Wenren Wan asked tactfully.
"Yeah," Mo Hua nodded, "I’m a Loose Cultivator; my family resides in Li State. We’re from a Second Grade Little Immortal City, and my parents are both in the Qi Refinement stage…"
Wenren Wan’s mouth dropped open in shock, "Then how... did you come to Qian State?"
"I came here to learn!"
"By yourself?"
"Yes, my parents are very busy. And since they are just at the Qi Refinement stage, the journey would be too dangerous. I didn’t feel comfortable with them coming, so I came alone…"
Wenren Wan didn’t know what to say, feeling that the roles of the child and the parents seemed reversed...
She then sighed silently, reflecting deeply.
No wonder they say the child of a poor family must become a householder early on.
From Li State to Qian State, the road was so long, traveling alone over mountains and rivers, exposed to the elements, not to mention Monster Beasts and various treacherous Cultivators...
It was not just a matter of Cultivation, but also of rich experience, exceptional ingenuity, steadfast determination, and an unyielding will...
And Mo Hua looked merely like a child of about ten.
At his age, the children of Noble Clans were usually carefree in their cultivation, unaware of life’s hardships, and oblivious to the malice in people’s hearts...
Wenren Wan looked at Mo Hua and felt an inexplicable sense of compassion.
She instructed Yu Er, "You must learn more from your brother Mo in the future..."
"Okay!" Yu Er nodded repeatedly.
Wenren Wan affectionately rubbed Yu Er’s head then, struck by a puzzling thought as she gazed at Mo Hua, hesitated for a moment before asking:
