Chapter 1502: Chapter 809 Rouge_2 "Bai Xiang Pavilion..." Mo Hua pondered, then asked, "Is there any problem with this Bai Xiang Pavilion?" "On the surface, there’s no problem." Gu Changhuai said, "So, I used this as a clue and looked into that woman again. After some investigation..." Gu Changhuai slightly frowned, "...That woman with the surname ’Hua’, every ten days or half a month, she would visit Bai Xiang Pavilion to purchase rouge and powder. After buying, she doesn’t hurriedly return to the Sect but takes a Hundred Flower Valley carriage and leaves Hundred Flowers City, passing through several nearby Immortal Cities adjacent to the Sects, and continues outwards, leaving the Qianxue state boundary..." "Afterwards, she would pass through a few nearby Little Immortal Cities, then from Qingzhou City, return to the Qianxue state boundary, passing by the Taoist Court’s entrance, and returns to Hundred Flower Valley." Mo Hua was somewhat confused, "What’s she doing by making such a big circle?" "Buying rouge." Gu Changhuai said. Mo Hua was a bit incredulous, "Just to buy rouge?" Gu Changhuai: "Yes, I later checked it over again and discovered indeed she bought some different kinds of rouge and powder, more or less, in every Immortal City." Mo Hua pondered, "This... seems suspicious..." Gu Changhuai sighed, "At first, I also thought it was suspicious, but then I asked my cousin, and she said it wasn’t. She said women are like this, they just have to buy so much rouge and powder..." Mo Hua: "..." "Then what? Are there any other clues?" Mo Hua asked again. It can’t be that after all this fuss, it just comes down to this Instructor Hua loving to buy rouge and powder. Gu Changhuai frowned, "The time was short, and I found limited information. Having this much is already not bad. What more can you ask for? However..." Gu Changhuai hesitated for a moment, sending a message: "There is one last point that is somewhat suspicious... That woman, after leaving Bai Xiang Pavilion, making a circle and returning to Hundred Flower Valley, one of the Little Immortal Cities she passed through was Mistwater City!" Mo Hua raised an eyebrow. "Mistwater City!" Mistwater City, where the Ye family is located, is also the Mistwater City through which the Mistwater River flows. Such clues begin to form a connection. But there wasn’t more information from Gu Changhuai’s side either. After all, he had only dined with Hua Ruyu once and talked not too much, to have gotten these clues was already quite good. "Uncle Gu, you should arrange a few more meetings, maybe you could learn something else," Mo Hua encouraged. Gu Changhuai frowned, "I won’t arrange more." "Why?" Mo Hua was puzzled, "It could be a meal, a date, and investigating the case, achieving three things with one move, isn’t that great?" "If you want to go, go yourself. I don’t have time for now; in a few days, I’ll make a trip to Mistwater City." Gu Changhuai said. Mo Hua immediately said, "I’ll go too, Uncle Gu, take me with you." "Why do you want to go?" Gu Changhuai asked. "To find out the true cause of Senior Sister Ye Jin’s death and bring justice to her!" Mo Hua said with determination. Hearing this, Gu Changhuai, relying on his instinct as a Dao Court Canon, felt a hint of suspicion. There’s something off. This kid Mo Hua, while not bad-hearted, is definitely not the type of warm-hearted good person. Why is he so concerned about the death of a female disciple from Hundred Flower Valley for no apparent reason? What does the affair of Hundred Flower Valley have to do with a disciple of Taixu Gate? Very suspicious... Gu Changhuai sent a message: "Are you hiding something from me? Be honest, what’s your real reason for investigating this?" Mo Hua felt a bit guilty but maintained a serious demeanor on the surface: "It’s really just to bring justice to Senior Sister Ye Jin!" The altar, Demon Monsters, Evil Spirits, are all just incidental. Moreover, he had promised Senior Sister Ye Jin, who was a half-step Fierce Ghost in Hundred Flower Valley, to avenge her. Some things cannot be spoken lightly. Once spoken, one becomes entangled in karma, and words cannot be retracted. Therefore, saying it’s to bring justice to Senior Sister Ye Jin isn’t wrong either. Seeing that Mo Hua wouldn’t speak, Gu Changhuai could only drop it. Even if words were gotten out of him, he wouldn’t know if the crafty Mo Hua would be telling the truth. Let him be. "On the ten-day rest, come to the Taoist Court... no, go to the Gu family to find me, I’ll take you to Mistwater City." Gu Changhuai said. Mo Hua felt great joy and nodded repeatedly: "Uh-huh, thank you, Uncle Gu!" "Also, remember Auntie’s side..." Gu Changhuai really couldn’t do much about Elder Gu Hong, so he repeated it again. "Don’t worry, I have my own way." Mo Hua assured. Only then did Gu Changhuai feel at ease. Afterwards, Mo Hua lingered in the Sect for a few more days, attending classes, hunting monsters, and painting formations. Soon it was the ten-day rest. After being fully prepared, he went to the Gu family early in the morning. Upon arriving at the Gu family, after greeting Aunt Wan and having some pastries, Mo Hua went to the study to find Gu Changhuai. Beside Gu Changhuai, there were two other people. Seeing this, Mo Hua was delighted and greeted with a smile, "Little Brother An, Little Brother Quan, long time no see." Gu An and Gu Quan also cupped their hands in salute, smiling, "Good day, young master." Mo Hua curiously asked, "Are you going too?" "Yes," Gu An nodded, "since we’re investigating a case, more people mean more clues, and we can help the young master run errands as well." "Indeed." Seeing Mo Hua had arrived, Gu Changhuai said directly, "Let’s depart. The sooner we go, the sooner we return. Don’t delay." "Okay." Mo Hua nodded. Afterward, the group set off in the Gu family’s carriage. Leaving the Gu family, the carriage went straight along, passing through Qingzhou City, following the Mistwater River route, heading all the way to Mistwater City. The Gu family’s carriage was very fast, not stopping at any of the Little Immortal Cities they passed. After about an hour, they arrived at Mistwater City. In Mistwater City, there was a "Water Incense Pavilion," which sold rouge and powder.
