Chapter 790: Chapter 588 Sect_1

“The Qian Taoist Sect must think Mo Hua, being a Loose Cultivator with no status, no backing, and no one to support him, is easy to bully. It’s just too much!”

Wenren Wan said furiously, “I will support him!”

Shangguan Yi gave a wry smile, “He’s neither from the Wenren Family nor the Shangguan Family, how can you support him?”

“He saved Yu Er, he has done a favor for both of our families!”

Wenren Wan insisted.

Shangguan Yi said helplessly, “Didn’t you say that this matter shouldn’t be publicized, that we shouldn’t tell outsiders? Then how would others know that he has done our families a favor?”

...

“If you go to the Qian Taoist Sect without any reason, seeking justice for him, won’t others see it as deliberately picking a fight and making an enemy of the Qian Taoist Sect?”

“The Qian Taoist Sect is a top-tier sect…”

“Even our Shangguan Family cannot afford to offend them lightly.”

Shangguan Yi advised earnestly.

Wenren Wan furrowed her brows and asked Shangguan Yi, “Then what do we do?”

Shangguan Yi felt a slight joy in his heart, but on the surface, he still pretended to be troubled. He pondered for a moment before saying:

“What if… we pull some strings and find a sect for Mo Hua among the Qian State Hundred Doors? That could be considered repaying the debt to Yu Er.”

“No way!”

Wenren Wan immediately shook her head, questioning, “Is Yu Er’s life worth only a spot in the Qian State Hundred Doors? You agree, but I don’t!”

Shangguan Yi was taken aback, he sighed, “The four great sects, although we can get a spot, the barrier of the Spiritual Root is insurmountable…”

“Then the Eight Great Gates!” Wenren Wan said, “It can’t be any lower!”

“The Twelve Streams…”

Shangguan Yi hadn’t finished speaking when he was interrupted by Wenren Wan:

“No, the cultivation of the Twelve Streams is too biased. Even if one specializes in one path, one must be aware of the other categories, or else if your experience is limited, your vision narrow, you may stumble over something trivial later on.”

“My father said, this is the scholastic barrier in Tao Cultivation.”

“Some things might be superficial, but knowing is knowing, and not knowing is not knowing.”

“These superficial things may seem like common sense, and once you know them, they seem trivial…”

“But if you don’t know them, no matter how talented you are or how good your understanding is, you could spend your whole life racking your brain and still not figure it out.”

“Mo Hua is a Loose Cultivator with a weak foundation; he must not join these ‘Twelve Streams’ sects, or he will face insurmountable barriers on his path.”

“He must enter a Taoist Sect with a long heritage and a full spectrum of categories!”

“If the four great sects are truly too difficult to enter, then so be it. At the very least, the Eight Great Gates!”

Wenren Wan stated decisively.

Shangguan Yi was surprised; he had not expected his wife to have such insight, nor that she would think so far ahead for Mo Hua.

People who are sincere and emotional might act recklessly, but they are genuinely caring and considerate towards others…

Shangguan Yi sighed, “But entering the Eight Great Gates… is also not easy…”

The quality of his Spiritual Root was too inferior.

Not to mention, coming from a Loose Cultivator background, poor inheritance, and the shallow foundation of Blood Qi, Spiritual Power, and the Taoist Foundation he had built.

Wenren Wan insisted:

“If not by the Shangguan Family, then the Wenren Family; if not by the Wenren Family, then both the Shangguan Family and the Wenren Family combined should have enough influence…”

Shangguan Yi said quietly, “Isn’t that making too much of a fuss…”

Wenren Wan only said, “Just tell me if you will help or not!”

Shangguan Yi hesitated, unable to speak.

To help would involve owing too great a debt of gratitude.

Not to help would be unacceptable to his wife.

And the matter of Yu Er truly was a significant favor owed…

Shangguan Yi was in a dilemma, but seeing his wife’s beautiful face and her deep, affectionate eyes, he finally sighed and said:

“I’ll try…”

Wenren Wan’s heart leapt with joy, and her face began to smile, but halfway through she remembered she was still angry with her husband, so she restrained herself and said:

“Then I’ll talk to my father.”

“Are you sure that’s a good idea…”

“What’s wrong with that? Even if I’m married, am I not still his daughter?”

Wenren Wan thought for a moment, then patted Shangguan Yi on the shoulder, “I’ll be waiting for your good news…”

After saying this, she gracefully left.

Shangguan Yi sighed again.

This was no small matter…

To insert a minor cultivator with a mediocre Spiritual Root, no background, and a hasty Foundation Establishment into one of the superior Eight Great Gates within the Qian Xue State Boundary would come at no small cost.

But, having promised his wife, he could not go back on his word.

And moreover…

The vague and elusive figure of Mo Hua once again floated in his mind.

Obviously, just a minor cultivator…

Why did he have the feeling that Mo Hua was not entirely see-through?

Shangguan Yi was somewhat preoccupied and sought out Gu Changhuai, asking:

“When Yu Er was ‘abducted,’ no, when she was rescued, were there any other suspicious traces in that restaurant?”

Gu Changhuai frowned, “What do you mean?”

Shangguan Yi thought for a moment, then spoke the truth:

“I suspect that this child, Mo Hua, may not be as simple as he seems; there may be some special fate about him…”

Gu Changhuai was slightly stunned, “Fate?”

Shangguan Yi considered, then said:

“The fact that he rescued Yu Er might not be a coincidence.”

“In this world, there’s a reason for everything, this might be an opportunity given to him by somebody else…”

Gu Changhuai’s gaze became focused, “You’re suggesting…”

Shangguan Yi weighed his words, “My guess… is that there is a cultivator well-versed in the Heavenly Secret Calculation with a profound and unpredictable prowess. He rescued Yu Er and then passed this opportunity to this child named ‘Mo Hua’…”
