The Guardians: The Swordsman of the Moon

Mo Xian and Bai Yue 3

The match was over, Mo Xian saw Bai Yue still slumped in the arena that had been broken, still unable to believe she had been defeated. Sighing Mo Xian wanted to give Bai Yue a few words, but Wu Jiao Xing suddenly appeared and withdrew his hand.

"The match is over, why are you still standing here?" wu Jiao Xing asked.

Mo Xian looked at Wu Jiao Xing before turning his head back to Bai Yue.

"But the boy ...."

"Let others take care of it, something like this always happens in every fight. Let her and go back to your room, master and mistress Li are already waiting for you."

Mo Xian was still heavy to leave, he felt the need to say something, so he walked up to Bai Yue and reached out.

Bai Yue who was in turmoil saw Mo Xian extend his hand, but she took it as an insult to his defeat. Mo Xian who was not welcomed then bowed his body in salute. 

"Thank you for your hard work" he said before leaving.

Not only Bai Yue, the people who saw Mo Xian's actions that saluted his opponent made everyone dumbfounded. In ten thousand years, there was no one to pay homage to the losing side in the match. The average of them will boast and demean the other party or behave indifferently. This is the first thing they see.

In the audience, Li Huan and Li Zhou Ran smiled at the attitude of Mo Xian whom they had known a long time ago. Mo Xian once said,

"Win and lose, both have tried their best. We have to respect each other's hard work. If we win, we should be grateful, but do not boast because life is spinning and not forever will win. There are times when we lose, and when we lose we also have to accept it freely, make it a lesson for the future."

Li Huan and Li Zhou Ran who first heard that were even at a loss for words. How could a ten-year-old child have such wise thoughts. Of course, it was because Mo Xian was not ten years old, combined with the age before he died on Earth, that meant that he was almost 30 years old.

After Mo Xian stepped off the stage, Bai Hua climbed onto the broken stage.

"What an amazing match in the last game today. We never thought we would see that talent from heaven really exists. Two young men who had refined their spiritual energy cores at a very young age appeared today, in this arena, on the Eternal Snow Dew plains. I'm very happy to see the two wonders of practicing today with you honorable spectators. With the victory of Young Master Mo Xian of the Peacock Alliance," Bai Hua looked towards the spectator bench and immediately came the sound of commotion from the crowd who did not believe that it turned out that the young man who had won the match was from the Peacock Alliance. That would be big news.

Bai Hua smiled. "Today's match will be the end of the match for the Junior category, then the Senior category will be done one more week because the arena conditions have been destroyed. That way, I congratulate the winners and have a good rest at our inn."

After hearing the closing remarks from Bai Hua, people started to disperse. Mo Xian and Wu Jiao Xing returned to meet Li Huan and Li Zhou Ran. And after exchanging a few words with Bai Xue, they finally returned to the inn.

Mo Xian returned with his father and mother while Wu Jiao Xing returned with Zhao Jin. When Mo Xian finished bathing and changed his clothes, he heard Li Zhou Ran's voice scolding someone. Curiously Mo Xian peeked out from behind the door with Li Huan who had been there first.

"Dad, what's going on?" asked Mo Xian.

"Your mother is trying to expel Wang Xueshi."

"Does that Uncle still want to make me a disciple?" 

Li Huan nodded, peering out seeing his wife was hitting Wang Xueshi while Wang Xueshi continued to plead.

"Wang Xueshi, he seemed to become very interested in you when he saw that you already had a perfect spiritual energy core. He's been following us since we got back from the arena."

Mo Xian's face darkened.

"Didn't that uncle's specialty be medicine, didn't it actually not match my basic element of fire?"

Li Huan nodded back.

"Mm, the fire element could be said to be better as a martial practitioner such as the Earth, Wood and Metal elements. However it was also impossible if Xian'er was willing to practice the art of medicine."

"But Mother was also great in medicine and poison. That uncle should not have forced me to become his disciple" Mo Xian said. Li Zhou Ran had the element of air, it was said that the element of air and water was a suitable element for the art of medicine. However, it was also impossible if they wanted to become martial practitioners. If you try hard, there will be a way out.

"Mm, but it seems Wang Xueshi still wants to make Xian'er a disciple."

Mo Xian could only sigh.

Meanwhile outside sounded Li Zhou Ran trying to drive away Wang Xueshi.

"I've said it many times. My son won't give it to you!"

"Jiejie, I beg you. Let me be his teacher. I promise Jiejie won't regret it."

"I'm sorry now. If I knew you'd be here, I wouldn't have come to this place."

In the end Wang Xueshi ended up with several bruises on his face after getting a punch from Li Zhou Ran. He complained his entire body was in pain and held him accountable, but Li Zhou Ran simply threw a bag full of medicines and told him to leave.

After everything calmed down. Mo Xian sat stroking Xiao Hei's fur while waiting for bedtime.

"Bai Yue, he's a great person, his way of fighting is similar to that of a wild beast," Mo Xian opened the chatter after nearly two hours of silence as both of his parents were in a cold war. Li Zhou Ran was dissatisfied with Li Huan's overly flaccid attitude towards his fellow-schooler-Wang Xueshi. But for Li Huan who really understood how stubborn Wang Xueshi was as if he had given up on him. For Li Huan, the rough way would not work for Wang Xueshi. The only possible way is to ignore it and simply kick it once every day.

Hearing Mo Xian's words, the two turned their heads.

"Mm, Bai Yue, I heard that she managed to refine her spiritual energy core not long ago" Li Huan said.

"But this kid is too confident and arrogant!" li Zhou Ran was not happy.

Then they went back to silence and silence. Mo Xian smiled wryly, it seemed like the cold war would last until the next morning. So Mo Xian chose to move to bed and prayed that his sleepless eyes would quickly become sleepy.

However, as Mo Xian pretended to sleep he heard the sound of the door being knocked and Li Huan talking something about Hong Baoshi and Bai Xin. Not long after that the door was closed and he felt someone rise to the top of the bed, it was Li Zhou Ran.

"Xian'er hasn't slept?" ask Li Zhou Ran.

Mo Xian shook his head. "Dad left?"

"Mrs."

"Where?"

"Take care of something. It's night, Xian'er better get some sleep."

Mo Xian inhaled and let out a long sigh before pulling out the blanket and trying to sleep.
