"The Ming Capital Assembly is about to commence. Since Master Mo is unwilling to lend the Tian Shui Pool, I, Huo, shall take my leave."

Although Huo Yuhao felt a bit disappointed, he didn't insist and turned to leave.

"Yuhao. I'll go find my father. Please wait here," Mo Linger said urgently, fearing that Huo Yuhao might leave.

"Very well."

After a moment of contemplation, Huo Yuhao responded lightly.

Upon hearing this, Mo Linger's face lit up again with a smile, and she hurriedly returned to the sect.

Before long, Mo Linger returned to the banquet.

At this point, Mo Li Hai was nowhere to be found, while Shui Wuya remained at the banquet. The elders of the Tian Shui Sect were still toasting to Shui Wuya in turns.

Seeing this scene, Mo Linger remembered her father's extremely respectful demeanor in front of Shui Wuya and decided to inform him of the matter.

"Please, Patriarch, make a decision for me."

Mo Linger hurriedly approached Shui Wuya, knelt down with a thud, surprising the elders of the Tian Shui Sect, who showed expressions of astonishment.

Shui Wuya raised an eyebrow slightly.

From the moment he saw Mo Linger, he realized that this woman was not ordinary; she seemed to be hiding something.

"Speak."

Shui Wuya's voice was calm, his gaze not turning towards Mo Linger.

"I have a friend who wishes to borrow the Tian Shui Pool. Unfortunately, my father refuses. I implore the Patriarch to intervene; my father will surely agree."

Mo Linger briefly explained the situation and then said.

"Just a friend?"

At this point, Shui Wuya turned his gaze towards Mo Linger, his face showing a hint of amusement.

The Tian Shui Pool possessed powerful effects, capable of purifying one's martial soul and enhancing its quality for soul masters. Although it had little effect on the Shui Clan, who were already an elite family, for the vast majority of soul masters outside, the Tian Shui Pool was a heaven-defying artifact! Even the lowest-grade martial soul, after bathing in the Tian Shui Pool, could experience significant quality improvement.

"His name is Huo Yuhao, the leader of the Shrek Seven Devils, and he is... a relatively good friend of mine."

Hearing Shui Wuya's question, Mo Linger's face showed a somewhat embarrassed expression.

"Bring him in."

Upon hearing this, Shui Wuya smiled faintly and waved his hand lightly.

With his terrifying spiritual power, approaching the level of a four-hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast, he had already sensed the figure appearing outside the Tian Shui Sect's gate at the first possible moment.

"After years of separation, he now wanted to meet Huo Yuhao."

"Thank you, Patriarch."

Mo Linger assumed that Shui Wuya had agreed to her request, and joy immediately spread across her face as she hastily rose and headed towards the mountain gate.

Before long, Mo Linger appeared outside the main hall with Huo Yuhao. They walked side by side, their pace unhurried.

However, at this moment, the expression on Huo Yuhao's face changed once again. The coldness disappeared, replaced by a look of unease.

He hadn't entered the main hall yet and couldn't see the situation at the banquet, but he had just learned from Mo Linger that the Patriarch of the Shui Clan was visiting the Tian Shui Sect.

And he had personally expressed a desire to see him.

For a moment, Huo Yuhao was shocked. He hadn't expected that the Shui Clan, sought after by numerous major forces, would have their patriarch visiting the Tian Shui Sect!

"Linger, how should I address the Patriarch of the Shui Clan later?"

With his heart in turmoil, Huo Yuhao's attitude towards Mo Linger softened slightly.

"The Patriarch is quite young. You can simply address him as the Patriarch," Mo Linger replied, feeling somewhat pleased in her heart, already envisioning a happy future life with Huo Yuhao.

"Quite young?" Huo Yuhao was somewhat surprised at the words. Before he could inquire further, the two had unconsciously entered the main hall.

Inside the hall, the gaze of the Shui Clan elders instantly converged on Mo Linger and Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao's eyes, however, immediately spotted Shui Wuya seated at the head!

Shui Wuya, how could he be here?

Huo Yuhao's pupils contracted suddenly, the surprise in his eyes growing thicker.

Although it had been nearly four years since they last met, the image of Shui Wuya had been deeply engraved in his mind. Even if he turned to ashes, Huo Yuhao would still recognize him.

"Patriarch, this is the friend that Linger mentioned, Huo Yuhao."

Mo Linger walked up to Shui Wuya, her face full of anticipation as she spoke.

Shui Wuya did not respond immediately. His gaze slowly turned to Huo Yuhao, his eyes calm, revealing no hint of joy or anger.

"Patriarch?!"

Huo Yuhao heard Mo Linger address Shui Wuya as the Patriarch and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Then, Huo Yuhao looked around and realized that everyone in the hall treated Shui Wuya with utmost respect.

"Outsider, why haven't you paid your respects yet!"

At this moment, the elder of the Tian Shui Sect reprimanded, his face showing obvious anger at Huo Yuhao's disrespectful behavior.

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao finally confirmed that Waters Without Bound was indeed the Patriarch of the Shui Clan that Mo Linger had mentioned.

But how could this be?!

At this moment, Huo Yuhao's mind was filled with utter shock. As a member of the Sea God Pavilion, he naturally knew that Shui Without Bound was the young master of the Shui Clan.

However, neither he nor any other member of the Sea God Pavilion had ever imagined that Shui Wuya would actually be the Patriarch of the Shui Clan!

"Patriarch, may I ask when Huo Yuhao will be allowed to enter the Tian Shui Pool?"

Mo Linger, oblivious to Huo Yuhao's shock, was solely focused on persuading Shui Wuya to allow Huo Yuhao into the Tian Shui Pool.

However, the next response from Shui Wuya was a cold remark.

"I never agreed to any of your requests."

Shui Wuya still did not look at Mo Linger. In fact, as he said, he had never agreed to any promises. He had only agreed to let Huo Yuhao enter the Tian Shui Sect.

Mo Linger was dumbfounded on the spot. The gentleness she had shown disappeared instantly, replaced by a hint of dissatisfaction on her face.

"Patriarch, you clearly agreed to me before. Why are you going back on your word?"

Mo Linger's voice carried a tone of questioning.

"Outrageous!"

No sooner had Mo Linger spoken than a reprimand rang out in the hall.

Looking to the source of the voice, it was none other than the elder of the Tian Shui Sect.

"How dare you speak so disrespectfully in front of the Patriarch! Kneel down and beg for forgiveness!"

The elder's voice continued to echo in the hall, his demeanor extremely imposing.

"And you, outsider, you have already crossed the bottom line of our Tian Shui Sect. Quickly kneel down and beg for forgiveness from the Patriarch!"

The elder's gaze swept over Huo Yuhao at the same time, emanating an invisible pressure of the terrifying Titled Douluo authority.

In an instant, a muffled grunt escaped from Huo Yuhao's mouth. The sudden pressure of the Titled Douluo authority made him endure an extremely terrifying pressure, causing his figure to become unstable for a moment.
