Chapter 1496: Chapter 807 Red Line_2 "What else can we do?" Elder Gu Hong said, "For now, just leave it like this. In a short time, where can I find another for him? If he still has this bad temper, I’ll find one, he’ll offend one, then where will my face go?" "Let’s just make do and force Changhuai to meet with this girl again, see if they can get along." Mo Hua was puzzled, "But didn’t you say this instructor seemed somewhat ’flirtatious’?" "That’s what I said," Elder Gu Hong pondered, "but sometimes, you can’t judge a book by its cover, especially at a first meeting. Making a judgment based on first impressions is still too arbitrary, let’s observe further..." Mo Hua nodded, "Makes sense." He also thought of letting Uncle Gu sacrifice his ’looks’ and talk with this Hua Ruyu to see if any other clues could be found. Elder Gu Hong glanced at Mo Hua, showing admiration, and said: "Changhuai is hopeless. When you grow a little older, I’ll think of a way to arrange a good match for you." Mo Hua’s expression froze. He hadn’t expected that while he was just a bystander, the issue would come to affect him. Mo Hua whispered, "Elder, I’m not in a rush..." Elder Gu Hong shook her head, saying, "It’s time to be in a rush. For matters like this, planning early is key." She sincerely said, "You’re different from other kids. Even though Elder Master Xun supports you, you don’t have much of a family background, and your spiritual root isn’t great either..." "Of course, in my eyes, you’re great in every way, but when it comes down to negotiating marriage, those great families and sects are still very realistic. Family background and spiritual roots are weaknesses." "From my experience, you absolutely can’t pursue those prestigious daughters from big families." "These girls are often proud and arrogant, with temperaments that disregard others. They’re not suitable for you." "Moreover, the bigger the family, the more rules there are, and the stricter and more realistic the marriage becomes. Even if you like each other, those elders, ancestors, etc., in the family won’t agree." "No matter how capable you are, it won’t help." "After all, how can you alone compare to their family’s thousands, even tens of thousands of years of accumulation?" "An arm can’t twist the thigh, let alone push against a mountain." Elder Gu Hong sighed, pondering: "It’s best to find a girl from a middle-sized family; third grade is a bit low, around the fourth grade is most suitable." "Gentle temperament, caring, knows how to look after someone, preferably a formation master." "A bit higher, a quasi-fifth rank would also do..." At that point, Elder Gu Hong’s eyes suddenly lit up, "If you’re willing, I can choose one for you in the Gu Family!" That’s right, why hadn’t she thought of this before? The Gu Family is quasi-fifth rank. She is a powerful elder in the Gu Family, with considerable influence in the clan. She knows the Gu Family’s girls well. She has observed Mo Hua’s character and talent. Marrying a girl from the Gu Family might even keep Mo Hua in the Gu Family. Elder Gu Hong became cheerful, quickly asking Mo Hua: "How about it?" Mo Hua felt a bit dizzy, "Please, Elder Hong, it’s still too early for this matter." "It’s not early, but you don’t need to worry, just concentrate on cultivation, and I’ll keep an eye out for you." Elder Gu Hong’s eyes were bright as she looked at Mo Hua. Mo Hua couldn’t withstand this, hurriedly said, "I’ll go check on Uncle Gu." He said this, then ran off in a flash. Elder Gu Hong shook her head with a smile, leaving Mo Hua be, but she silently kept this matter in her heart. After contemplating for a moment, she murmured: "I need to tie a red string for him and see..." She was an impatient person by nature, whatever she thought, she would immediately do. With this thought, she returned to her elder’s quarters, took out the Gu Family’s genealogy from a box. Within the genealogy, there was a separate page, recording the names and birthdates of the Gu Family’s girls. This was a secret to the family, except for special-status elders like her; no one else was allowed to casually view it. Elder Gu Hong took out a red string, her eyes flashed with a red light as she guided the string over the names of the girls in the genealogy one by one. "I wonder which little girl in the Gu Family has a fate with Mo Hua..." She thought silently. But after guiding for a long time, there was no reaction from the red string. Elder Gu Hong frowned, her eyes flashed even more intensely. Then, in the next moment, a sudden change occurred. The red string in her hand suddenly snapped. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢 Elder Gu Hong was taken aback. If the string couldn’t connect it couldn’t connect, but why did it snap? She had no choice but to take another red string, then recite a mind incantation, her eyes flashing, continuing to tie the red string for Mo Hua. However, after trying just a few names, the red string snapped again. Elder Gu Hong was unconvinced, tried several more times, and each time it broke. Her expression grew serious. "It’s not a coincidence? Could it be..." Elder Gu Hong’s gaze focused as she took out an even thicker red string, woven with golden threads and inlaid with red jade, symbolizing a ’Golden Jade Marriage’ red string. "I just don’t believe it today..." Elder Gu Hong continued to tie the red string for Mo Hua. The ’Golden Jade Marriage’ red string was indeed extraordinary. Though she tried it several times to no effect, the red string remained intact. Even as she brought the string to the name of a direct lineage girl in the Gu Family, there was a faint reaction on the string. Elder Gu Hong’s expression was slightly joyful, but at that moment, a wave of anxiety swept over her. She looked down to see, in an instant, a crimson flame of void engulfed the string, burning it completely... Not only was the red string burnt, but the golden threads on it snapped one by one, and the inlaid red jade turned into dust.
