The Guardians: The Swordsman of the Moon

Who is Mo Shan?

Since yesterday's incident, Li Huan and Li Zhou Ran took a mutual agreement to teach Mo Xian martial arts.

Originally, Li Huan planned to send Mo Xian to one of the leading sects in the Yuan Xing continent. However, Li Zhou Ran insisted on rejecting him.

"Xian'er is only ten years old, I won't let my son go anywhere. You think this great woman can't teach him martial techniques? I'm better than any sect master."

"..."

The reason Li Huan wanted to enter Mo Xian into the sect at such a young age was actually because at the age of Mo Xian now it was appropriate to enter the martial academy to gain experience and friends. 

However, Li Huan could understand his wife's stubbornness. After all, Mo Xian had only lived in the Li family for five years, his wife might very well object to having to part with her beloved son. So Li Huan decided to include Mo Xian at the fifteen-year age limit. 

From then on Mo Xian began to practice martial arts, medicine and poison. His casual days used to be spent reading books and touring the city are now more used for practice and study.

Li Huan not only trained Mo Xian personally, but also trained Wu Jiao Xing. He thought, Wu Jiao Xing is the only person who can be trusted to protect Mo Xian, so he needs to improve Wu Jiao Xing's abilities.

Besides Li Huan, Li Zhou Ran also took part in educating Mo Xian in terms of medicine and poison. Mo Xian was amazed by the knowledge Li Zhou Ran had, he never knew that the nagging woman turned out to be so knowledgeable.

Almost every day Mo Xian used to practice improving his martial skills until he could not go out for a walk, it made him a little sad because it had been a month since he had not listened to fairy tales.

Mo Xian sighed. Wu Jiao Xing who was sitting next to him while wiping the sword looked at Mo Xian who was lying down looking very lethargic.

"What's wrong?"

"I want to go out, but my whole body is sore. Dad trained me too hard ...." Mo Xian whimpered.

Wu Jiao Xing sighed and did not want to answer Mo Xian's complaint. This kid was actually very excited when he first started training, but after some time he started to complain with strenuous practice, after complaining like that Mo Xian would usually fall asleep.

"If you train earnestly, the pain you get will not be comparable to what you produce," Wu Jiao Xing said still focused on wiping his black sword.

Mo Xian looked over. "I mean. It's just that martial arts training is like this, waking up in the morning blind and practicing until noon, taking a short break and practicing again until night."

Wu Jiao Xing sighed again. "If you knew what the students in the martial arts college were doing, you'd be dead standing."

Mo Xian stared in disbelief.

"Is their training harder than this?"

Wu Jiao Xing did not reply.

"Father and mother still consider me weak," Mo Xian complained.

"That's because they know you're going to complain. So they gave the exercises according to your portion," said Wu Jiao Xing, sheathing his sword. "It's also good, just think of it as a mental workout before you get to martial arts school."

Mo Xian pursed his lips. He realized he was always pampered and started being a slightly spoiled child. Thinking of Wu Jiao Xing's words, Mo Xian's spirit burned back. He cannot be lazy and complain a lot.

*****

Today both Li Huan and Li Zhou Ran went to meet someone and could not train Mo Xian. So the one in charge of training Mo Xian turned to Wu Jiao Xing.

Both practiced until the afternoon. While beginning to practice martial arts, Li Huan taught many movements with bare hands and weapons, and while using weapons, Mo Xian preferred to use a slender sword because it was lighter. 

Originally, Mo Xian thought he would soon practice cultivation and had already imagined being able to learn the science of lightening the body and using magic power like letting out a breeze from a fan like Li Zhou Ran. 

However, until a month has passed. Li Huan had only taught him the basic techniques of martial arts that were no different from what Mo Xian had seen in kung fu movies.

Mo Xian asked why he had not trained in body lightening at Wu Jiao Xing and he said that the basis of martial arts was body packing so that the body would not stiffen during a fight, easy to move and agile when dodging. About why Mo Xian had not been taught to cultivate, it was because Li Huan had his own reasons that even Wu Jiao Xing was not told.

"Xian'er's body was filled with excellent spiritual energy. The flow of spiritual energy in his body went very smoothly and has not changed since five years ago" Li Huan told his wife.

"Mm, Xian'er is still very young, but his spiritual energy core is already perfectly formed. I can hardly believe it when you tell me that, one usually takes up to decades of cultivating day and night, training the body, forming its spiritual energy core slowly. But, Xian'er .. I think this is related to what he ate inside the forbidden forest. Xian'er once said that he likes to eat fruit in the forbidden forest" said Li Zhou Ran. 

Li Huan nodded, "That's right. Moreover, the forbidden forest was a place filled with spiritual energy."

"M, Xian'er also said that he always ate boiled sweet potatoes and boiled vegetables in the forbidden forest. Xian'er said Mo Shan could not cook and could only boil or burn food. While listening to the story I felt pity, that little boy was only fed a stew every day, he must have been so bored that he was so fond of fruits." Li Zhou Ran looked at her husband.

"Now when you think about it, isn't that person named Mo Shan actually preparing Xian'er's body to be this good?" tanyakanya.

Li Huan nodded. "Mo Shan, whoever this guy is, he's planning something for Xian'er's future. A body that was always fed clean food from the magical forbidden forest and was filled with spiritual energy. All the plants and fruits there have their own wonders. Those fruits must have a hand with his condition by now."

Li Zhou Ran looked at her husband sharply. "Aren't you getting any information about this guy named Mo Shan?"

Li Huan turned his gaze outside the window and looked at the birds flying around the tree.

"Mo Shan, this guy even after five years of searching for information about him, I got nothing." Li Huan smiled wryly. "This is the first time for the Peacock Alliance to fail to obtain information, this puts me to shame on the late teacher."

Li Zhou Ran sighed and stretched out her hand, grabbing her husband's hand.

"It's okay, you've been trying your best. Now what I'm worried about isn't just Xian'er's past being unclear, until now I'm still afraid that one day someone named Mo Shan will come to take him away from me." Li Zou Ran's eyelids fell down, his slightly trembling voice made Li Huan immediately come to his side to hug him.

"Mo Xian'er our son, he was sent a God for us, will forever be our pride and will go nowhere" Li Huan said as he rubbed the tops of his wife's heads.

Li Zhou Ran started crying, nodding. "Every day, I always pray that God gives me a child. When you brought Xian'er to me I was so happy. But every day I also felt afraid that Xian'er would leave. Now I'm getting scared Xian'er is really leaving because I can't protect him."

Li Huan rubbed his wife's trembling back, letting her cry. Until someone knocked on the door and Li Huan told the man to come in.

A man with a tall body saluted him. Li Huan just looked at him and still rubbed his wife's back that was still crying.

"I'm sorry, sir. The spell symbol that was on that mask, we still couldn't find any information about it."

Li Huan sighed when he heard the disappointing news.

"Is that not in the ancient records of any sect? Perverted sect, demon sect?" li Zhou Ran asked suddenly with a face full of tears.

The man shook his head.

"We really didn't find any record of the spell. We thought it was a newly created spell."

Li Zhou Ran was very disappointed by that answer and could only escape into her husband's arms.

"Then what about the person named Mo Shan?"

The man looked down again and Li Huan already knew the answer, then told the man to leave after saying thank you.

"Mo Shan, who exactly is he?"
