Mo Hua entered the Discipleâs Residence with a big white dog in tow, drawing astonished looks from the disciples along the way.
"Junior Brother, according to Sect rules, disciples arenât allowed to keep spirit pets..."
"This isnât a spirit pet," Mo Hua corrected, "This is the big dog the Sect Leader uses for guarding. I borrowed it for a bit."
"The Sect Leader..."
All the disciples were dumbstruck, thinking to themselves, despite claiming you have no connections, being able to borrow the Sect Leaderâs dog just like that, isnât this the treatment one would expect for the Ancestorâs direct grandson...
They whispered among themselves.
The big white dog held its head high and strutted.
Following behind Mo Hua, it trotted along happily.
Once inside the Discipleâs Residence, surrounded by a group of disciples, the big white dog became quite arrogant, raising its head high, looking at people disdainfully.
Indeed, it looked like the "Sect Leaderâs dog."
"Junior Brother, why did you borrow this dog?" A curious disciple asked.
"I have something important to do," Mo Hua replied seriously.
"Something important?" The crowd didnât understand.
Mo Hua found it difficult to explain to them.
Tonight was the day the Demon Monster would "deliver takeout," and this big dog was invited to "join the feast."
It wasnât early anymore, he needed to hurry and prepare.
Seeing the crowd still asking questions, Mo Hua put on a stern face, "Have you finished your Formation homework yet?"
The disciples felt guilty at heart and quickly scattered.
Mo Hua shook his head and led the big white dog to Yu Erâs room.
Wenren Wei looked visibly startled.
"Young Master Mo, this is..."
Mo Hua said sternly, "I have a premonition that Yu Er might be in danger tonight. Perhaps a Demon Monster will invade his Dream Sea in the depth of night, so we need to be on guard... I specifically brought this big dog to guard the door."
Wenren Wei, upon hearing this, looked shocked, "Is this true?"
Mo Hua nodded, "Itâs true."
Because he was the one who invited those Demon Monsters.
Wenren Wei nodded slightly, still somewhat puzzled, "This dog..."
Demon Monster invasion, what did it have to do with a dog?
Mo Hua explained, "This is the Sect Leaderâs dog, itâs very powerful!"
Taixu Sect Leader...
Wenren Wei looked solemn, clearly taken in by Mo Huaâs words.
He nodded, "I understand now."
The Taixu Sect Leaderâs dog certainly wasnât an ordinary dog.
Moreover, after spending these past days together, he had developed a deep trust in Mo Hua.
What Mo Hua said, especially matters concerning Young Master Yu, almost always turned out to be prophetically accurate, never had there been a mishap.
Yu Erâs current safe, healthy, lively, and cheerful self was entirely thanks to Mo Huaâs care.
Since Young Master Mo said the dog had an important role, it surely had a special purpose.
Wenren Wei said solemnly, "Much obliged, Young Master Mo, if thereâs anything you need, please feel free to instruct me."
Mo Hua laughed, "Thank you, Uncle Wei."
Then he naturally started instructing Wenren Wei.
He informed Wenren Wei to guard the door well, watch out for certain things, and some precautions he reiterated without growing weary.
Wenren Wei carefully memorized Mo Huaâs words without the slightest neglect, and then diligently stood guard outside the door.
Mo Hua then brought the big white dog inside the room.
Yu Er was diligently going over formations in the room.
Seeing Mo Hua, his eyes lit up, but when he saw the big white dog behind Mo Hua, his expression turned surprised, and amidst the astonishment, there was a hint of fear.
When the big white dog saw the small Yu Er, it froze for a moment, then instinctively, its eyes turned fierce, and it bared its teeth at Yu Er, growling low.
Yu Er was even more frightened and hid behind Mo Hua.
Mo Hua quickly placed his hand on the dogâs head, "Be honest."
Under Mo Huaâs hand, the big white dog dared not act rashly, but it still glared at Yu Er.
Mo Hua frowned, puzzled.
This big dog, while unfriendly to others, usually wouldnât overstep unless provoked; it typically looked down from above, indifferent.
But why did it act as though it had met an enemy when it encountered Yu Er, with such violent eyes?
Could it be...
Mo Hua looked thoughtful, paused for a moment, then shook his head.
In any case, this wonât do, he called it here to have it cover for him and protect Yu Er.
If it didnât know its place and injured Yu Er in a fit of rage, wouldnât that be a case of trying to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice?
Seeing the subdued big white dog still holding hostility in its eyes, Mo Hua leaned down and whispered:
"Do you still want to eat a feast?"
The big white dog paused, its anger dissipated, puzzled.
Mo Hua pointed to Yu Er, "Whether or not you can eat your fill all depends on him. If you donât adjust your attitude, not only will you miss out this time, but youâll also go hungry in the future."
The big white dog looked a bit confused, then wisely nodded.
Although it still didnât quite understand the cause and effect, for the sake of Mo Hua and the "feast," it held back somewhat and dared not be fierce to Yu Er again.
Mo Hua was fairly satisfied.
Afterward, he began to set up formations.
First, near the walls, he placed a few Divine Mist Array to obscure the perception of the Divine Sense.
This was to prevent the subsequent commotion from being detected, drawing unnecessary spying.
It was also to obscure a bit of cause and effect, to avoid Mr. Tu or other henchmen of the Evil Gods from pulling any tricks to frame him.
In the inner chamber, centered on Yu Er, Mo Hua set up three layers of Divine Formation.
The outermost was the Divine Barrier Array.
The Divine Barrier Array served as the gateway for Divine Thought.
All the Demon Monsters who invaded Yu Erâs nightmare through cause and effect nodes, along the chains of sin, would be kept out by the Divine Barrier Array.
The only opening in the gate was Mo Hua.
Thus, all invading Demon Monsters wanting to attack Yu Erâs nightmare would first enter Mo Huaâs Sea of Consciousness, thereby becoming his "meal."
