Mo Hua was still staring blankly when his junior martial sister gave him a gentle glare with her clear, lovely eyes. He finally came to his senses. "Oh, you mean my... junior martial aunt."
Bai Zixi shot Mo Hua another cool glance but said nothing.
Mo Hua considered it for a moment, then asked in surprise, "My junior martial aunt actually knows people at Square Inch Mountain?"
That was completely unexpected.
Bai Zixi nodded slightly. "My mother cultivated in Kun Province for a while. She had dealings with... I think it was the female head of a Daoist temple on Square Inch Mountain. They were quite close. When that woman entered the Feather Transformation Realm, my mother even sent a gift to congratulate her."
"The head of a temple?" Mo Hua asked.
"Mm," Bai Zixi said. "Square Inch Mountain has many Daoist temples. Each temple carries its own lineage."
Mo Hua nodded, then asked, "Has my junior martial aunt ever passed through the gates of Square Inch Mountain?"
Bai Zixi shook her head. "No. Square Inch Mountain doesn't allow outsiders in. My mother is no exception."
"But when that temple head entered the Feather Transformation Realm, my junior martial aunt sent a gift..."
"She chose a gift and had someone deliver it," Bai Zixi said. "She never went through the mountain gates herself."
"I see..." Mo Hua murmured, a little disappointed. "Not even my junior martial aunt can get in..."
His junior martial aunt was a direct descendant of the mighty Sixth-Grade Bai Family, a True Person of the Feather Transformation Realm, and the junior martial sister of his master, Mr. Zhuang, and his martial uncle, the "Strange Daoist."
Even someone of her standing couldn't get through Square Inch Mountain's gates?
Did Square Inch Mountain really put on such airs?
