Thankfully, Uncle Gu had low emotional intelligence, his heart sealed up like wood and stone, and had not taken a fancy to this Hua Ruyu. Otherwise, he would have been wearing a great big green hat on his head.
Matchmaking really was a very sinister thing.
Mo Hua sighed inwardly.
But then again, the way this adulterous pair addressed each other made Mo Hua unable to help feeling a little concerned.
Water Yama called Hua Ruyu "Miao'er."
Miao'er...
Back at the ferry crossing, Water Yama had also said this carriage belonged to "Miao'er."
Was this Hua Ruyu's boudoir name?
Mo Hua shook his head slightly.
"I'm afraid it isn't that simple. And somehow, this form of address feels a little familiar..."
He frowned and thought for a while, then his heart suddenly jumped as he remembered.
Back when he killed Jiang Laoda, the list he had seized from him contained the nicknames of many Sinful Cultivators:
"Poison Rakshasa, Fire Foreman, Golden Arhat, Flower Young Master, Human Butcher, Blood Woodcutter, Yin Thunder Child, Lady Miao, Ghost-Faced Baleful, River-Crossing Dragon..."
These Sinful Cultivators had either been captured or killed. When Mo Hua had been doing bounties to earn merit, he had thoroughly "cleansed" them once over.
Now, there were only a scant few Sinful Cultivators left on the list.
Among the few fish that had slipped through the net, there was one called "Lady Miao."
Lady Miao... Miao'er...
Understanding dawned in Mo Hua's heart.
No wonder he had been catching Sinful Cultivators for so long and had never run into this "Lady Miao." So she had been hiding in the sect, and on the surface, she was even an instructor...
And Hua Ruyu called Water Yama "Xie Lang"...
Could this "Xie" be the "Xie" of the Guishui Gate's Xie Family?
