The Guardians: The Swordsman of the Moon

A Xian wanted to become stronger.

Li Zhou Ran returned to their room with Li Huan. Mo Xian looked, Li Huan placed some food on the table. 

Mo Xian immediately approached Li Huan and pulled up his sleeves. "Dad, tell me that gege is fine."

Li Huan smiled while Li Zhou Ran sat down in front of the table.

"Look, you two are indeed fathers and sons, no one believes my words." Li Zhou Ran said in annoyance as he wagged his thin scarf.

Mo Xian became unwell, seeing Li Zhou Ran's irritated face made him immediately correct his words.

"A Xian just wanted to make sure," Mo Xian told Li Zhou Ran.

Li Huan took a seat and stroked Mo Xian's back.

"He is fine, his condition has improved and his cultivation has also returned to balance. Xian'er doesn't have to worry anymore. Now, how about we have breakfast?" ask Li Huan.

Mo Xian looked at Li Huan who was smiling at him, he wanted to urge him but in the end chose to believe and sat down with them around the round table.

Li Huan brought three bowls of rice and vegetable stir-fries as well as minced meat, fish steam and tofu.

Li Zhou Ran understandingly gave the rice bowl and chopsticks to Mo Xian and Li Huan.

"When can A Xian visit gege?" mo Xian asked while holding the chopsticks.

Li Zhou Ran placed the sliced chopped meat sauteed in Li Huan's bowl while Li Huan poured water in his cup before drinking it.

"Xian'er can visit him after two days," Li Huan replied.

Hearing him Mo Xian's face brightened. "really?"

Li Huan nodded. 

"Mm, Xian'er can visit him after two days. Now it's best for Xian'er to eat quietly, hmm?" Li Zhou Ran said as he placed the piece of meat in Mo Xian's bowl.

Mo Xian nodded and began to eat with a slight feeling of relief when he learned that Wu Jiao Xing was fine.

"Then, Dad. Do you know who the people who attacked us last night. They're the undead, right?" mo Xian asked after a few mouthfuls entered his mouth.

Hearing Mo Xian's question, Li Huan and Li Zhou Ran looked at each other and stopped from eating.

"Ehem." Li Zhou Ran pretended to cough. "Xian'er, why don't we finish the meal first, just talk?" tanyakanya.

Mo Xian was a little confused, the six years they lived together and dined together, there was never any prohibition to speak on the dining table.

"But, A Xian wanted to know. Is this related to the Peacock Alliance? They're the undead that someone sent to disturb the Peacock Alliance?" mo Xian asked a little forcefully.

Li Huan put down his chopsticks. He looked at his wife. Li Huan had not expected Mo Xian to think up to such an extent, but suddenly Li Huan realized that it was a good thing. At least Mo Xian did not know that the undead were actually eyeing Mo Xian for a Thing. However, if it was thought again, was it true that they were looking for trouble with the Peacock Alliance? But that was impossible, because this Blood Spell Mask had only appeared when Mo Xian had come in his family. That blood spell, was a spell that even the Peacock Alliance had yet to know where it came from.

However, the sure thing was that Li Huan would not let anyone else harm his family, the Peacock Alliance, his wife and his son—Mo Xian. No matter who the person who was looking for trouble with him would pay a reasonable price.

"Mm, perhaps," Li Huan replied. "The Peacock Alliance is a large organization. We collect information and sell it. There might be people who don't like the Peacock Alliance and try to look for trouble."

Li Zhou Ran stared in disbelief at her husband's words. She had been accompanying her husband for decades clearly knowing very well that the Peacock Alliance was a large and powerful organization that people respected. One would think twice to deal with the Peacock Alliance. However, upon seeing the smile on her husband's face, Li Zhou Ran was able to catch the lie on her face, it was all to appease their Mo Xian—putra— heart.

Meanwhile, Mo Xian had already expected it to be the answer that came out of Li Huan's mouth. His guess was correct, the person who sent the undead to kill him was trying to find trouble with the Peacock Alliance.

"So ... Daddy?"

"Hmm?" 

"A Xian wanted to become even stronger."

Li Zhou Ran and Li Huan were stunned until their hands stopped.

"In yesterday's fight, A Xian felt extremely useless and became a burden for gege. Even A Xian couldn't do anything to gege and had to trouble Bai Yue. A Xian wanted to be strong and not be a burden to others." Mo Xian was as good as possible trying to control his emotions, but as he recalled the events yesterday, seeing how Wu Jiao Xing was injured and Bai Yue had gotten so unconscious as to help them completely squeeze his heart.

Seeing Mo Xian bowing his head with a sad face, Li Zhou Ran immediately approached him and hugged him.

"It's okay, who says Xian'er is useless?" li Zhou Ran asked trying to calm down, rubbing Mo Xian's head.

"But A Xian really couldn't do anything. Not even the gege body received my spiritual energy."

Mo Xian's body began to tremble, Li Zhou Ran clenched him even tighter.

"No, no. Don't blame yourself, Xian'er. Xian'er's son mother is a talent from heaven, at your very young age Xian'er has even refined his spiritual energy core. So, how could a mother's son be useless, hm? It's not your fault, it's not your fault."

Li Huan saw how Mo Xian was so desperately blaming himself, sighing. He understood how yesterday's events really took Mo Xian by blows. After all, Mo Xian was only an 11-year-old child and how such a young child could face an enemy that was not comparable to his cultivation level.

"Xian'er, who mother said was true," Li Huan said softly as he stroked Mo Xian's back before gently pulling Mo Xian's shoulder for Mo Xian to look at his face.

Mo Xian's face was filled with tears, Li Huan attentively wiped it off for Mo Xian, exposing a friendly smile to his son.

"Xian'er, the enemies you're facing are not comparable to the two of you. Didn't Xian'er see how chief Bai Xue and father had even struggled to resist them?" li Huan asked attentively, looking at Mo Xian affectionately.

Mo Xian recalled the incident yesterday when Bai Xue had come to help them, Mo Xian recalled how the undead had always managed to escape Bai Xue's overwhelming attacks and even when their bodies had been supplied on the ground and cut in half, it was a huge disaster, their bodies are back to being whole.

Mo Xian nodded slowly. "Then, why did the gege body reject A Xian's spiritual energy?"

Li Huan smiled, rubbing Mo Xian's cheeks. "About that, Xian'er should ask mother."

Mo Xian blinked, then looked at Li Zhou Ran.

Li Zhou Ran greeted him with a maternal smile. "Xian'er my dear son, there is sometimes a condition where spiritual energy is rejected by one's body."

"How did that happen? gege's body did not reject Bai Yue's spiritual energy."

"That's right, because Bai Yue did it the right way."

"What do you mean, A Xian made a mistake? But how, A Xian had already done it as Mother had taught."

"really?" ask Li Zhou Ran. "Try Xian'er back to how Xian'er channeled Xian'er spiritual energy at Wu Jiao Xing, did Xian'er really do it right?"

Mo Xian thought for a moment, recalling yesterday's incident as he attempted to channel his spiritual energy with his trembling, frightened hand. However, Mo Xian did not understand where his mistake was.

"Mo Xian'er my son. One important thing to do when one wants to channel his spiritual energy to others, that person should not be in a state of panic, he had to be calm so that the flow of spiritual energy could flow smoothly into the bodies of others. If the person is not calm and focused on what he is doing, his spiritual energy becomes unbalanced and collides with the spiritual energy of others. And Xian'er knows what's going to happen?"

Mo Xian looked at Li Zhou Ran. "A Xian's spiritual energy cannot enter and return to A Xian, "he said with a sad face.

Li Zhou Ran stroked Mo Xian's head. "Mo Xian'er's the smartest mother's son."

"Stay, A Xian felt that A Xian was completely useless and was just a burden to gege. If only A Xian was stronger ..," Mo Xian stopped talking, seemingly thinking before making up his mind. "Dad, Mother, A Xian wants to be more useful than this. A Xian wanted to become even stronger than this."

The two of them looked surprised by Mo Xian's declaration.

"A Xian promised to train even harder, Father, please make A Xian stronger than this, huh?" Mo Xian pleaded.

Li Zhou Ran was still at a loss for words at Mo Xian's request, while Li Huan smiled as he poured water into a cup and drank it.

"Mm," Li Huan replied later.

Hearing him, Mo Xian's sad face instantly brightened. He immediately threw himself into Li Huan's arms and Li Huan immediately greeted him.

"really? Tell me you're not lying to me!" urge Mo Xian while wrapping both his hands around Li Huan's neck.

Li Huan smiled and nodded his head. Mo Xian was so happy that his smile expanded and immediately hugged Li Huan, rubbing his head on Li Huan's shoulder.

"Father is the best! Thank you, A Xian promised not to let you two down."

Li Huan sighed, smiling at his wife who was shaking her head for the decision Li Huan had taken.

Li Huan patted the happy back of Mo Xian.

"Then Xian'er must not complain if you add to Xian'er's training."

"Mother will also be adding to Xian'er's practice. And Xian'er must no longer complain if mother tells you to memorize all the names of the medicine and magic potions."

Mo Xian shook his head many times. "No, no, no, A Xian will not complain. A Xian will try his hardest to become strong."

Li Huan and Li Zhou Ran, both of them sighed together and smiled happily. They promised with the sight of those who met that their happiness would never be lost. They will keep the happiness of Mo Xian, their son.
