Zhang Lan frowned, pondering again and again over the words of the Chief Elder, thinking about his tone and mannerisms. After mulling it over repeatedly, he gradually grasped the underlying message.
"Words need to be spoken beforehand... 'Mo' must not betray my Zhang family's ultimate technique, 'give' this your best efforts to learn, 'do not' let me down, 'you must' remember this closely, be sure!"
Words, Mo, give, do not, you must...
Reversed as: You must, do not, give, Mo, words...
You must give... Mo Hua?!
So, the Chief Elder gave me the Third Grade Water Passing Step, and then the message he said added up to mean...
"Be sure, you must hand over the Water Passing Step to Mo Hua?!"
Is that what it means?!
Ah?!
Zhang Lan stood frozen in place, utterly confused.
The Chief Elder... he really knows how to speak in riddles.
Could it be that the elder had seen through everything?
