Chapter 425: Hundred Flowers Building

Mo Hua thought it was a good idea. Since the Hundred Flowers Building had set up the Manifest Dust Array, concealment would only expose flaws. So, he would simply not conceal himself and go in openly and legitimately!

However, he was young, and others might not let him enter. In that case, he needed to find someone to lead them. In South Yue City, the person he was most familiar with was Si Tu Fang. But he couldn't possibly go and find Sister Si Tu and ask her to take him into a brothel. She definitely wouldn't agree. Moreover, she would surely think he was learning bad habits and that it would damage his reputation. Although he wasn't old, he was already a first-grade array master and counted as a cultivator with status, so reputation was still very important.

Besides, the person Mo Hua was most familiar with was Elder Su, with whom he often drank tea. Moreover, Elder Su spoke of brothels freely and casually, looking very familiar with them, suggesting he likely went there privately quite often. Finding him was definitely the right choice.

Mo Hua looked at Elder Su with bright eyes. Elder Su stiffened. Mo Hua's simple and direct answer completely unraveled all of Elder Su's schemes and guesses. This was not what he expected! He had thought Mo Hua was racking his brains and scheming about some secret, something he was unwilling to let others know and couldn't tell anyone. The result was that this matter was about going to a brothel. This matter, you say this...

It was also reasonable... Elder Su was slightly startled, touched his beard, and thought again. It seemed... there was nothing wrong. This was indeed a secret, something one was unwilling to let others know, couldn't tell others, and needed to beat around the bush to inquire about... It's just this...

Elder Su looked at Mo Hua, whose eyebrows were clear and whose appearance was innocent and without blemish, and said tactfully: "This matter, for you, isn't it a bit early by that 'billion'?"

Mo Hua's small face was serious as he said: "I have proper matters."

Elder Su was a little troubled. With such a serious face, you're talking about such an unserious matter, it makes it very hard for me to be serious too! Elder Su turned his thoughts again and said: "Or, you could flip through the genealogy given to you by the Lu family head, see if there are any eye-catching girls, secretly tell me, and I'll go find the Lu family head and talk to him for you, to arrange a marriage early?"

Mo Hua frowned, "I really have proper matters!"

Elder Su was startled, "Really?"

"Mm." Mo Hua nodded seriously. Elder Su was instead a bit embarrassed. He quietly asked: "Can you tell me what it is? Of course, this is a private matter, it's also okay if you don't say."

Mo Hua thought for a moment and said: "Didn't I ask you to help me find a mister surnamed 'Yan'?"

Elder Su was surprised, "He also likes this?"

Mo Hua silently looked at Elder Su. Elder Su knew he had made a slip of the tongue and panicked a little, quickly changing his words and saying: "Is this Mister Yan also a person of this same path?"

Mo Hua's gaze at him became even more complex. Elder Su gently patted his own mouth. He was saying more and more wrong things, so he simply stopped talking about it and instead inquired: "Are there really clues about this Mister Yan inside the brothels on Jin Hua Street?"

Mo Hua wasn't too sure either. It was possible, but it was also possible not to. Mister Yan's whereabouts were unclear, and he had no clues yet. Mo Hua's main purpose this time was still to find the gray-clothed cultivator who hired people to kill and buy corpses. Mister Yan disappeared in the mine, and the mine was related to the gray-clothed cultivator. There might be a connection between the two. Of course, these things were not easy to explain clearly. Mo Hua then said: "There should be."

"So that's it..." Elder Su looked at Mo Hua, and his expression gradually relaxed. So, he was worried about his teacher and was going to find clues. He had really misunderstood this child before... Elder Su then said: "No problem, leave this matter to me, I'll take you!"

Mo Hua said: "Also my senior brother and senior sister, you've seen them." Elder Su hesitated a little, but also nodded: "No problem."

"Thank you very much, Elder Su!" Mo Hua smiled, and then immediately became a little worried, "We are young, is it okay for you to take us?"

Elder Su smiled: "It's harmless. Brothels don't only have romantic matters, there are also some pure girls. Listening to songs and watching dances is also good."

Mo Hua nodded, grateful in his heart. Elder Su was helping a great deal this time. Mo Hua thought for a moment and decided to repay Elder Su a little. He then quietly said to Elder Su: "Elder Su, the array you drew before had a small problem. I didn't tell you, afraid you would be embarrassed. But you can correct your mistakes and the array can improve. I'll now secretly tell you where the mistake was..."

Elder Su was stunned, his mood extremely complex, and for a time he didn't know what reaction he should have. He wanted to laugh and cry at the same time as he listened to Mo Hua pointing out his array problems. But as he listened, Elder Su's expression became serious. What Mo Hua said was completely accurate; he had indeed drawn it incorrectly. Elder Su frowned slightly. But the problem was, Mo Hua seemed to have only glanced at the array he drew, like a dragonfly skimming the water, and hadn't looked carefully. Just a couple of glances, and he could see the problems? Elder Su couldn't help but be secretly alarmed. How profound were this little mister's array attainments?

After Mo Hua left, he told Bai Zi Sheng and Bai Zi Xi about the matters Elder Su had promised. "We'll pretend to be book boys and follow Elder Su into the Hundred Flowers Building."

"Okay." Bai Zi Sheng and Bai Zi Xi nodded.

Three days later in the evening, as the lights just came on, Jin Hua Street was brightly lit. Mo Hua and the other two followed Elder Su to the Hundred Flowers Building. The three of them were all wearing light green book boy clothes. Mo Hua was clear and lovely, Bai Zi Sheng was heroic and upright, while Bai Zi Xi had tied up her long hair and disguised herself as a young man. Her skin was fair, and her appearance surpassed beauty; she wasn't as good-looking as before, but she was still very exquisite. Her temperament was cold, and her eyes were narrow and long, giving her a heroic and captivating beauty. Mo Hua and Bai Zi Sheng were both amazed as they looked at her. Elder Su was also slightly startled, and in his heart he secretly confirmed that Mo Hua's senior brother and senior sister must have a very significant background. This kind of appearance and demeanor was absolutely not ordinary. Elder Su also became much more respectful towards them.

Jin Hua Street was very prosperous, flowing with gold and pouring with jade, a place of revelry and indulgence. Mo Hua and the other two followed behind Elder Su, walking along Jin Hua Street towards the Hundred Flowers Building. There was more than one brothel on Jin Hua Street. Every time they passed by other places like Yi Hong Court, Yi Cui Building, Ju Fang Garden, and so on, there were always female cultivators who would greet Elder Su, giggling and acting coyly, saying: "Elder Su, it's been so long since you came to see this servant."

Elder Su was extremely embarrassed and wished he could cover his face. It was usually fine, but now he was bringing these three children with him. If he damaged his image in Mo Hua's heart, that would be the end of it. All the way, Elder Su pretended to be calm, but his old face was red with embarrassment. However, the streetlights were also red, shining on the faces of Mo Hua and the others, making them look flushed as well, so Elder Su's embarrassment wasn't noticed.

Enduring all the way, Elder Su finally brought Mo Hua and the other two to the entrance of the Hundred Flowers Building. Sure enough, a woman wearing thin clothes also came out to welcome them from inside the Hundred Flowers Building, frowning resentfully and saying: "Elder Su, you haven't been here for a long time..."

Elder Su coughed and said, "Today we're just listening to music and watching dances." Hearing this, the woman also became dignified, smiling sweetly and bowing as she said: "Good, this way please, Elder Su."

Elder Su handed over a bag of spirit stones, "Prepare a pot of the best Guose Tianxiang wine, boil a furnace of new tender Out of Water Furong tea, a box of Hundred Flowers Contend Beauty pastries..." The woman smiled like a flower, "Good."

Elder Su looked at Mo Hua. Mo Hua nodded. Elder Su then brought Mo Hua and the others to a place in front of the flower hall, separated by Water Immortal Youlan screens, a spacious and exquisite private seat.

After sitting down, Mo Hua couldn't help but praise: "Elder Su, you're so skilled." Elder Su smiled and was just about to nod, but his head was halfway down when he came to his senses and immediately shook his head: "Not skilled, not skilled, this is also the first... second time I've come." He couldn't say anything too absurd.

"Oh." Mo Hua clearly didn't believe him.

Being stared at by Mo Hua, Elder Su felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles. He then thought of changing the subject and said: "Little mister, don't you want to find someone? You can ask the girls here."

Mo Hua nodded, but doubted: "How do I find them?"

Elder Su coughed a few times, and then a woman came forward, bowing with a smile and saying: "Elder, what are your instructions?"

"Find some girls to come, who understand etiquette, know propriety, whose rouge isn't painted too heavily, aren't too charming, and are younger..." Elder Su instructed skillfully, and the woman received the orders and left. Elder Su nodded composedly, turned his head, and saw Mo Hua looking at him with an admiring expression, his big eyes blinking. Mo Hua was just about to open his mouth to say something when Elder Su quickly said: "This is also... what I heard others say. I'm not skilled, really not skilled..."
