The next day, Mo Hua took leave of absence and departed from the Taixu Gate, first making his way to the Taoist Court at the Qianxue State Boundary.
This was the arrangement he had made with Gu Changhuai.
They would meet at the Taoist Court and then set off for Bishan City.
Within the Taoist Court, Gu Changhuai had specifically returned to accompany Mo Hua and passed him a storage bag.
"What’s this?” Mo Hua inquired.
"Consider it supplies distributed by the Taoist Court for the mission,” Gu Changhuai replied indifferently.
Mo Hua opened the storage bag and saw some pills, spirit stones, runes, and an official Taoist robe inside.
"Don’t wear your Taixu Gate clothes; they’re too conspicuous. Change into this official robe
"Oh.”
Mo Hua changed into the Court’s official Taoist robe, looking both charming and dignified.
However, the robe was baggy, with sleeves that were too long, clearly a size too large.
"Uncle Gu, the clothes are too big
"Just make do with it; that’s already the smallest size we have
"Can’t it be tailored?”
Gu Changhuai appeared somewhat helpless, “You’re an external hire, just make do. How could we tailor one specifically for you?”
Mo Hua muttered under his breath, “So stingy
The grand Fifth grade Taoist Court of the Qianxue State Boundary was really pinching pennies.
Master Xiao’s smile slightly faded, his voice carrying a profound message, “Take matters into your own hands
Gu Changhuai lost his patience, his face immediately darkening without any pretense of politeness as he said:
"Do your own Supervisor duties, and don’t think about teaching me how to do my job.”
Master Xiao paused.
Gu Changhuai snorted disdainfully and walked away.
Mo Hua, careful in observation and minding his words, pretended to hear nothing and closely followed Gu Changhuai in departure.

Only Master Xiao remained, standing in place.
The smile on his face gradually faded, and he sneered softly:
"The people of the Gu Family are still so naive; sooner or later, they’ll perish clean
…
Sitting on the carriage bound for Bishan City, Mo Hua quietly asked:
"Uncle Gu, does that Master Xiao have a grudge against you?”
Gu Changhuai, lost in thought, did not reply.
Mo Hua inquired again, “He’s not a spy within the Taoist Court, is he?”
Caught off guard, Gu Changhuai exclaimed, “How did you figure that out?”
"Just a feeling
Gu Changhuai, with a touch of exasperation, “The Taoist Court doesn’t proceed on mere feelings
"Master Xiao
Mo Hua muttered, then pondered aloud, “To be appointed as a Supervisor, he must also be a noble family’s son, surnamed Xiao; does the Xiao family, like the Gu family, have close ties to the Taoist Court?”
Gu Changhuai appeared somewhat surprised, but he nodded and said:
"Yes, the Xiao family’s influence in the Taoist Court is greater than the Gu family’s; the current Court Leader of the Fifth grade Taoist Court in the Qianxue State Boundary is from the Xiao family
"Oh
Mo Hua nodded, then curiously continued:
"Then this Master Xiao
"Stop asking,” Gu Changhuai interrupted Mo Hua, “You shouldn’t pry into the affairs of the Xiao family; it’s best to stay away from them to avoid bringing trouble upon yourself
