And just like that, another year slipped by.
The Sect was on holiday, too.
The mountains were far, the roads were long, and Mo Hua was still all alone. He couldn't go home to see his parents, couldn't spend the New Year with his neighbors, relatives, or childhood friends in Tongxian City—but he could always score a New Year's Eve dinner at the Gu Family's place.
Anyway, the Gu Family already had a ton of people; one more or one less made no difference.
And his physical appetite was nowhere near as big as his Divine Thought's—he wouldn't "eat" the Gu Family into poverty, that's for sure.
A few days later, Mo Hua packed his things, said goodbye to Elder Master Xun, and set off with Yu Er for the Gu Family home in Qingzhou City.
Yu Er was over the moon with excitement.
"We're going home!"
He stretched out his little arms like a bird, running here and there along the road.
