The Guardians: The Swordsman of the Moon

Hongbaoshi and Bai Xin.

Mo Xian was training in the courtyard when a young man named Zhao Jin walked into the courtyard and greeted him.

"Greetings, Young Master Mo," Zhao Jin said as he pulled his hand and bowed.

Wu Jiao Xing who saw Zhao Jin immediately gave his regards to her. "Greetings, Senior brother."

Mo Xian returned his greetings as usual and exchanged a few words before Zhao Jin finally entered the house.

Mo Xian had already seen Zhao Jin come to his house often and had discussions with Li Huan, but Mo Xian had no idea what they were talking about. Not only Zhao Jin, there were actually a lot of people coming in and out of his house to discuss with Li Huan who knew what it was. Perhaps it was related to the secret information that the Peacock Alliance gathered.

Mo Xian saw Wu Jiao Xing drinking water under the peach tree.

"According to Gege, what are they talking about right now?" asked Mo Xian.

Wu Jiao Xing took a quick glance before continuing his drink to his satisfaction. "I don't know," he answered flatly.

"Isn't Gege also a member of the Peacock Alliance. Don't Gege know what information they're collecting?" mo Xian asked innocently.

Wu Jiao Xing let out a long sigh. "I'm a member of the Peacock Alliance, but my main task is to take care of you," Wu Jiao Xing replied. "After all, even though we are both members of the Peacock Alliance. We obey all the orders of master Li Huan, if master Li Huan says it is a secret, not even his fellow members can see that information other than master Li Huan."

Mo Xian nodded in understanding. Ever since he accidentally walked into Li Huan's study and read some scrolls, Li Huan was not angry and let it go, could it be that the scrolls belonged to the general faction.

Thinking of that, rather than being curious Mo Xian decided to stop the practice and walked inside the house, ignoring Wu Jiao Xing's cry.

Mo Xian walked over without any intention of hiding, he knocked on the door where Li Huan and Zhao Jin were discussing.

"Xian'er, why are you standing there?" 

This was why Mo Xian did not need to hide away to eavesdrop. It would be a waste because Li Huan could tell who was in his house and where his position was even if their distance was far. This technique, Mo Xian really wanted to learn it from Li Huan, but Li Huan said it was not a technique that could be learned, but gained from experience.

Mo Xian did not understand the meaning at all. However, Li Huan said that he would understand when he was an adult. However, basically Mo Xian was an adult.

In the end Mo Xian opened the door and smiled.

Li Huan looked at his son with a smile. "So why don't you practice?" ask Li Huan.

Mo Xian walked inside and sat down in the middle seat, developing a smile and revealing his cheekbones.

"I want to listen to Father and Uncle's discussion."

Li Huan shook his head, he had already gotten used to Mo Xian's curiosity since childhood, this was a habit that even Li Zhou Ran could not change let alone Li Huan.

"Alright, since you want to listen, Zhao Jin brought good news. Do you want to hear?" ask Li Huan.

Mo Xian's eyes instantly turned bright.

"What?" Mo Xian asked enthusiastically.

Li Huan did not reply. Instead, he drank tea.

"There will be a friendly match in the Snow Dew city" Zhao Jin said.

"Friendship match?"

Zhao Jin nodded.

"The ruler of Dewun Snow city always held friendly matches to test his students, anyone is free to participate. Every year, it becomes a very festive event."

Mo Xian became increasingly interested, the six years he had lived with Li Huan, he had never gone out of the Four Stones city.

"Are we going there?" mo Xian asked Li Huan who was now sipping tea.

Li Huan smiled, put down his cup then looked at Mo Xian.

"Mm, we'll go there. It's also good for you, so that you can get to know the various martial arts that exist in the Yuan Xing continent."

Mo Xian simply nodded. Then he picked up the cookies that were on the table.

"Is the preparation for the Snow Dew town over?" ask Li Huan.

Zhao Jin nodded. "It's almost done, some warriors have also started to arrive. Master Bai Xue prepared everything very well, this year she added more guest rooms. It seemed like he had expected, many warriors would come considering that this year's grand prize would be Hongbaoshi's Heart."

Li Huan smiled. "It's a little surprising, Bai Xue actually took out Hong Baoshi's Heart as the main prize, was he fishing people?"

"I heard, someone has stolen Bai Xin from their storage room."

Li Huan nodded.

"So he wants to catch a thief?"

Zhao Jin nodded.

Mo Xian saw Li Huan and Zhao Jin stop talking and just enjoy tea.

"What is the heart of Hong Baoshi and Bai Xin?"

Li Huan smiled, he already expected his son to ask.

"Both are magic pills that can balance the yin and yang in the body. It was a very special pill because the pill was only made once in a year, and it only produced at most ten pairs of pills."

Mo Xian still did not understand. "What is the effect just to balance yin and yang? Didn't you say balance can be obtained by meditating?"

"That's right, it's just. These two pills were not only balancing yin and yang, it was also capable of refining an almost broken spiritual energy core."

Mo Xian nodded in understanding. Li Huan once said that the core of spiritual energy was like the heart for a martial swordsman. The spiritual energy core not only serves as a container to hold spiritual energy, but also drains it throughout the body. Therefore, if the spiritual energy core was damaged, then that person would be out of the martial world or at worst, that person could even be inferior to an ordinary human.

"Hong Baoshi and Bai Xin. Both are made at the same time and will always be a pair, when one is stolen then the other will have the awareness to feel where the other is if their distance is not more than a thousand meters."

Mo Xian listened well. "Then, do you have it?" 

Li Huan smiled, he had also expected his son to ask like that. Li Huan then got up from his seat and picked up something from inside the closet.

"Of course you have," he said, handing over the wooden box.

Mo Xian accepted it and opened it. Inside the box were four pairs of red and white colored pills, corresponding to Hongbaoshi and Bai Xin's names. 

There was nothing special about those pills, as Mo Xian smelled them as well as having no scent. It was similar to the pill medicine sold in dispensaries. Mo Xian looked in astonishment, a simple pill like this, the price could be so expensive and difficult to obtain. However, to his astonishment, Li Huan not only had a pair of pills, but four pairs. 

"If the two have to be a pair, what happens if we only consume one?"

Li Huan placed the cup. "It still has a nice effect, such as increased spiritual energy in the body. However, it's best if it's a pair of drinks."

Mo Xian nodded and again closed the wooden box, then placed it on the table.

"So did Uncle come today just to tell you about this or was there something else?" mo Xian asked, for some reason he had no interest in Hongbaoshi and Bai Xin.

Zhao Jin nodded his head. "Mm, I came just to convey this. Does Young Master expect to hear anything else?" zhao Jin asked with a smile.

Mo Xian looked at him for a moment before sighing. Shaking head.

"So when are we going there?" mo Xian asked later.

"We can go in two days."

Mo Xian nodded, before moving from his seat and kissing Li Huan's cheek from the side and leaving the two.

When Mo Xian started kissing Li Huan and Li Zhou Ran both were very surprised because they both never saw a child who showed affection by kissing their parents. However, to Mo Xian who had lived on earth before, kissing the old man as a sign of affection was a natural thing. 

Instead Zhao Jin was still unfamiliar with such a scene. The children he saw in other families never did that to show affection, the other children gave something more, like flowers and other things.

"Young master Mo is indeed not the same as other children," Zhao Jin said with a smile.

Li Huan looked out the window, staring at the back of Mo Xian who was now in the courtyard.

"Mm, he's special."
