Mo Hua got this news from Hao Xuan - most importantly, Hao Xuan's cousin, Hao Se.

Hao Xuan did very poorly in his year-end assessment.

Especially swordsmanship.

Ever since he became addicted to sap fighting, he rarely used the sword. As time went by, his swordsmanship became unfamiliar.

In a sect filled with talented people, if you don't advance in swordsmanship, you will retreat.

Therefore, Hao Xuan only got a "C" in swordsmanship. Although he was actually a little better than Mo Hua, in terms of rating, it was indeed similar to Mo Hua.

But in ink painting, a handsome man covers all his ugliness, and in formation skills, he is unparalleled. In other aspects, his qualifications are limited, and no one criticizes him for anything.

What's more, he doesn't have a family, and his parents are not around, so his cultivation relies entirely on self-consciousness, and there is no one to supervise him.

To put it bluntly, even if his parents were around, knowing that Mo Hua could get a grade of "1A, 6C" in the Qianxue Prefecture with so many sects, and the Taixu Sect with so many geniuses, I will only be proud of him.

After all, his starting point is too low, and it is not easy to achieve any results.

Hao Xuan is different.

He has a family with strong competition and strict requirements. His parents also attach great importance to his academic performance.

For a monk of his age, the "study performance" of the sect is often the entire "meaning" of his existence.

Therefore, Hao Xuan got a "C", which was as if the sky was falling.

His parents, including the elders from the same lineage, didn't look good on him.

Hao Xuan has been living a very cautious year this year.

He didn't want to stay in the family anymore, so he settled for the next best thing and went to Taixu Gate to "take refuge".

What he said to his parents was:

I was ashamed because I didn't do well in the exam, and I wanted to work hard and strive for the top, so I stayed in the sect, practiced hard, and made up for my homework, and I didn't go back during the New Year.

He only learned this rhetoric after specifically asking his "little senior brother" to teach him about ink painting.

As expected, Hao Xuan's parents didn't object.

Not only did they not object, they even felt that Hao Xuan "knows his shame and then becomes brave".

Although I did poorly in the exam this time, I know it’s not too late to work hard.

His parents were very pleased.

In this way, Hao Xuan stayed at Taixumen and spent the New Year with Mo Hua.

He is indeed practicing on weekdays, whether he is learning sword skills, practicing stick skills, or asking for advice on ink painting formations, and he has never slacked off, so he is not lying to his parents.

As the new year was approaching, his parents still cared about this "hard-working" son, so they asked his cousin Hao Se to return to the sect specially to give him some delicious food.

At this time, Hao Xuan was studying formations with Mo Hua, his disciple Currie.

Hao Se placed seven or eight large and small food boxes with maroon borders on the table and said, "Hao Xuan, I've brought you food."

After saying that, he saluted Mo Hua and said, "Happy New Year, little senior brother."

"Happy New Year..."

Mo Hua also returned the gift, but looked a little confused.

He wasn't very familiar with Hao Se. He only remembered that there seemed to be such a disciple in the same class of Taixu Sect, but he didn't have a deep impression.

On weekdays, whether it's the sect offering bounties or going to Demon Refining Mountain to hunt demons, there seems to be no overlap.

He didn't even remember the name.

Hao Xuan then said: "This is my cousin, surnamed Hao, Mingse. He is one year older than me, but he started practicing Taoism at the same time as me. We are similar in age and have similar cultivation levels, so we entered the Taixu Sect together."

"Oh." Mo Hua nodded.

"Hao Se..."

Just this name, no matter how you hear it, it always feels a bit weird.

Hao Se has a lively temperament and is somewhat mature.

Mo Hua didn't know him very well, but he knew Mo Hua.

After all, there are only one "little senior brother" among the more than a thousand disciples in the entire Taixu Sect.

During the New Year celebrations for aristocratic families, there are too many people, it is too noisy, and there are too many red tapes.

Hao Se rarely ran out and didn't want to go back for the time being, so he, Hao Xuan and Mo Hua ate spiritual meals, drank spiritual wine, and chatted in the disciples' residence.

While chatting, Hao Se suddenly looked lonely, sighed and said:

"A senior sister died in Baihua Valley."

This sentence came very suddenly.

Mo Hua was happily eating chicken drumsticks, and his mind stopped working for a while, "What?"

Hao Se repeated it again, "In Baihua Valley, a senior sister died..."

Mo Hua was stunned for a moment and looked at Hao Se. He had so many things in his mind that he didn't know where to start asking.

How could a senior sister die in Baihua Valley?

You are not a disciple of Baihua Valley...how do you know such a thing?

Furthermore, if a senior sister died in Baihua Valley, what does that have to do with you?

Hao Xuan sighed, a little reluctant to speak, but the disciple was in the room and there were no outsiders, so he said:

"My cousin... his lifelong wish is to become a disciple of Baihua Valley..."

Mo Hua was stunned for a moment, "Does Baihua Valley accept male disciples?"

Hao Se shook his head and said disappointedly: "I won't accept it."

Mo Hua asked curiously: "Then how did you become a disciple of Baihua Valley?"

Hao Se solemnly said: "Because Baihua Valley does not accept male disciples, my ambition in this life is to promote the restructuring of Baihua Valley so that Baihua Valley can also accept male disciples. The next best thing is to accept male cultivators as elders. In this way, I

After graduating from Taixu Sect, even if I can't become a disciple, I can still regard 'becoming an elder of Baihua Valley' as my lifelong ambition..."

Mo Hua opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

There are really all kinds of people in this world...

"But this kind of restructuring is not feasible. No matter how you think about it, it is impossible for Baihua Valley to recruit male cultivators as guest elders." Mo Hua said again.

"Yeah, the future is slim..."

Hao Se looked lonely, and finally gritted his teeth, "It really can't be done. I heard that the Hehuan Sect has a technique that can reverse yin and yang. I..."

Hao Xuan immediately covered his mouth, "Stop it, cousin! Don't say it again! If your uncle or aunt hear it, they will break your legs."

Mo Hua also looked shocked and admired.

In a sense, this brother is also a ruthless person.

But he was also very puzzled and asked: "Why do you want to go to Baihua Valley so much?"

Hao Se said seriously:

"There is no special reason, it is just an ordinary 'ideal in life'. Since it is an ideal in life, what other reason is needed?"

The ink painting was speechless.

Hao Xuan on the side sighed: "My cousin's qualifications are actually very good, but he is just...a little abnormal..."

Hao Se looked unhappy, but did not refute.

Hao Xuan continued: "... Logically speaking, if he works harder and the family works better, it is not impossible for him to join the four major sects, but because he always 'makes shocking remarks', the family is afraid that he will cause trouble.

I can only stuff him into Taixu Gate and keep me company. I grew up with him, I know his temperament, and I can still look at him..."

I see……

Mo Hua nodded.

However, Hao Se insisted on his opinion and said: "What are the four major sects? If you can enter Baihua Valley, who would care to go to the four major sects?"

Hao Xuan broke off a chicken drumstick and handed it to Mo Hua, "Senior brother, eat the drumstick and ignore him."

"Oh..." Mo Hua took the chicken leg, took a bite, and suddenly asked curiously, "Hao Se..."

Because he was chewing chicken legs and could not pronounce words clearly, the word "Hao Se" in Mo Hua's mouth became "lustful"...

Hao Se quickly corrected it:

"It's Hao Se, not lustful!"

"Yeah." Mo Hua nodded and then asked, "Hao Se, you said that a senior sister in Baihua Valley committed suicide. What happened?"

Hao Se's expression was filled with sadness.

He is in Taixu Sect and his heart is in Baihua Valley, so he has always been very concerned about things in Baihua Valley.

"I often hang out near Baihua Valley, so I also got to know a few senior sisters from Baihua Valley..."
