The Guardians: The Swordsman of the Moon

Wang Xueshi 2's

Mo Xian returned to the carriage with the irritated Li Zhou Ran. After returning Li Zhou Ran continued to nag and made sure Mo Xian nodded his head for every sentence he vomited.

Mo Xian himself still did not understand why Li Zhou Ran hated the person named Wang Xueshi so much. Li Zhou Ran simply said the person was a child criminal, but did not explain it in detail.

Listening to Li Zhou Ran until he finished nagging, Mo Xian again stepped out of the carriage after getting permission. 

Outside, Mo Xian did not see Li Huan, instead he saw Wu Jiao Xing sitting alone in the coachman's place.

Mo Xian approached him and saw that the queue they had to wait for was still long.

"Where's uncle?" mo Xian asked as he sat beside Wu Jiao Xing.

Wu Jiao Xing turned his head and glanced at him briefly before returning to look at the snow plains ahead.

"Master Li Huan took her away."

"Where?"

"Teaching someone."

Mo Xian gasped, his foster father had never beaten anyone before. At least Mo Xian had not seen it himself other than the giant beast back then.

"Who?"

"Mr Wang Xueshi."

"Why?"

Wu Jiao Xing stared around, especially the carriage that was behind him. Making sure Li Zhou Ran did not hear him, he brought his body closer to Mo Xian's side and whispered, "Madam Li would be angry if master Li Huan did not make mister Wang Xueshi battered."

Mo Xian whispered, still clueless. "Why?"

Wu Jiao Xing's forehead wrinkled. "You've been taken all out by Ms Li , do you still not understand?"

Mo Xian shook his head, how could he understand at the speed of speaking Li Zhou Ran while grumbling, some syllables even often sounded vague and repetitive.

Wu Jiao Xing clucked. "I tell you, that Master Wang Xueshi is already known to many as a miraculous medicine master in the entire Yuan Xing continent. But the guy's a little crazy 'cause he likes to kidnap kids on the street."

"Kidnap kid?"

"Mm, that's his nickname, but it's actually not exactly child abducting because Mr. Wang Xueshi has already asked their parents for permission."

"Then?"

"That's because Mr. Wang Xueshi did it the wrong way."

"How's it?"

"I heard Mr. Wang Xueshi has a very good vision of the child's talent. When he sees a gifted child, he will ask the child's parents for permission, but if their parents refuse, Lord Wang Xueshi would start staying over in front of their house until obtaining the child as his disciple. Sometimes it can be up to a month before their parents give up with all the seduction and trickery of Lord Wang Xueshi into giving up their child."

Black streaks appeared on Mo Xian's face, Wang Xueshi was a very stubborn person.

"Then, aren't those who end up becoming Master Wang Xueshi's disciples going to be great people?"

Wu Jiao Xing rolled his eyes. "Yes, I'm not very clear about it. However, senior brother Zhao Jin said that Mr. Wang Xueshi preferred to hunt children to become disciples, after obtaining them, the children will be left on their Shixiong to study and Mr. Wang Xueshi will go to hunt for another child" he explained.

"Therefore, madam Li doesn't want you to fall to be Lord Wang Xueshi's disciple, how great he is, Lord Wang Xueshi doesn't really teach his students."

Mo Xian nodded, now he understood why Li Zhou Ran was so angry when he saw Wang Xueshi.

"Have you and your mother known Mr. Wang Xueshi for a long time?"

Wu Jiao Xing nodded.

"Mr Li Huan and Mister Wang Xueshi are brothers and sisters."

Mo Xian's eyes fiddled, "They're younger brothers? Does that mean Lord Wang Xueshi is a member of the Peacock Alliance?" his tan was a little astonished as this was the first time he had seen Wang Xueshi.

Wu Jiao Xing sighed. "That was when they were under the same teacher. As Master Wang Xueshi found his talent within his eyes, he preferred to hunt children to be brought to the Yuan Ming Dao sect and trained by his oldest disciples. Senior brother Zhao Jin said Lord Wang Xueshi was one of the best candidates for the Peacock Alliance, but because of his nature, he chose to quit the Peacock Alliance."

Mo Xian sighed.

"What was their relationship in the past good?"

Wu Jiao Xing nodded. 

"Mm, they're on good terms, even now. It was just that senior Zhao Jin said their attitude was indeed like that when meeting. So you don't have to think about it. You'll see how persistent Mr. Wang Xueshi is to make you fall into his arms."

Somehow Mo Xian's body shivered when he heard that, either from the cold air or from Wu Jiao Xing's words, either, Mo Xian could not be sure until the next morning when Mo Xian woke up from sleep and saw for himself how Wang Xueshi had actually obeyed his words to sleep in front of the door of the Li family carriage.

"Good morning, Young Master Mo."

Mo Xian did not know how to react other than his twitching lips. Mo Xian looked inside the carriage, his father and mother still asleep. 

"Sir, what are you doing here?" mo Xian asked without daring to get out of the carriage.

Wang Xueshi smiled. "Be my disciple and I will make Young Master Mo a great medicine man, this great old man will not break his promise."

Mo Xian's lips twitched, Wu Jiao Xing's words were correct. This guy actually likes to seduce and brag about himself.

"Hundreds of my students have become successful people in medicine. Their names are famous everywhere. If you become my student, you no longer need to think about money, your life will be a treasure, I will teach you how to make magic potions that are ...,"

"Keep bragging!"

Mo Xian looked back, Li Zhou Ran stood right behind him, staring intently at Wang Xueshi.

Wang Xueshi smiled wryly. "Haa, good morning, Jiejie."

There was no hospitality on Li Zhou Ran's face that darkened violently the woman took her shoes and threw them right in Wang Xueshi's face.

"Go, find someone else's child! Don't bother my son, without your skills even my son wouldn't be short of money even if his son and descendants get to the seventh line! And don't you forget that this great woman is also an expert in medicine and magic potions!" 

Li Zhou Ran threw his shoes back. Wang Xueshi nimbly managed to dodge it, his face turning dejected.

"Jiejie, your son is really talented, let me ...,"

Li Zhou Ran coldly closed the door after pulling Mo Xian into the carriage.

Li Huan who had been awake since was still lazy to take care of Wang Xueshi, the man wriggled and hid his face into a pillow.

"Is he still outside?" ask her with a sleepy voice.

Li Zhou Ran slapped Li Huan's back hard. "How dare you sleep again. Quickly drive your shameless sister away from my doorstep!"

Li Huan rubbed his back before he sat down and, with his face still sleepy, pulled Mo Xian back to sleep.

"Bad kid, why do you have to get up so early. We're not at home, training is closed. Look, now you're making the lion's mother go berserk in the morning."

Hearing her, Mo Xian wanted to laugh, but he held her back and hid in Li Huan's arms, only able to laugh a little. Instead Li Zhou Ran who heard that became angry and took a pillow to beat up her husband and Mo Xian.

"Who do you call the lion's mother!"

"Maha." Li Huan laughed out loud.

Mo Xian was also unable to hold back his laughter and laughed, making Li Zhou Ran's face turn red and beat them even more with a pillow.

"Hey, you two are laughing at me! How father and son can be like this. Come here, show me your faces so that this lion mother can hit her!"

Early in the morning only the Li family carriage had already made a fuss as if they were in their own home.

Zhao Jin who heard him laughed.

"Are they always this noisy?" ask Zhao Jin.

Wu Jiao Xing who had been living with Mo Xian for six years sighed. "Mm, if Senior Brother lives with them Senior brother will often hear things like this."

Wang Xueshi who was cleaning his face smiled.

"They're a very harmonious family."

"Therefore Mr. Wang should have realized that it was impossible to make Young Master Mo a disciple" Zhao Jin said.

Wang Xueshi smiled blandly. "Perhaps, but the two of them were also not enough for Mo Xian. That kid needs more guidance than a great person. His talent is a little special, I've never seen anything like it before."

"Is it like the talent that Master Wang has, a talent that is second to none?" ask Zhao Jin.

"Mm, the eye that can see the seed of talent in a person, maybe I'm the only one. And the seed of talent that Mo Xian possessed …."
