The Guardians: The Swordsman of the Moon

Misi

Three months passed just like that, Mo Xian and Bai Yue learned a lot of new things to the incredible Bao Yu. With a grandfather-like figure who was patient and paying proper attention to education for his students, Bao Yu finally ordered Mo Xian and Bai Yue to carry out the mission of the Bai Lian sect.

As Bai Yue said, Bao Yu seemed to indeed have a special position in Bai Lian's sect. A letter of request was sent yesterday, Bao Yu explained that the two of them had to escort a rich merchant across the city safely to the destination. Bao Yu explained the possibility that their trip for the mission would take at least five days.

Bao Yu also said that if he would not accompany them, he felt that his two disciples were already capable enough to go on a mission. Bao Yu chose to stay at his house because his other three disciples would soon complete their closed cultivation.

Mo Xian and Bai Yue then parted and set off towards the place written in the letter.

The letter explained that what they were about to escort was a woman with two twins, she was on her way to the Golden Flute city with her husband to run a business. However, on the way, they get a letter saying that his father-in-law is sick and wants to meet his granddaughter.

The husband then decided to send his wife and son back with some of the property they got from trading in the two small towns they passed. And because he was worried about the safety of his wife and two children, the husband asked the Bai Lian sect to send his men to escort and guard their safety.

Mo Xian and Bai Yue arrived at the inn that the rich merchant used.

His name is Chen Shen. The thirty-five-year-old man immediately welcomed Mo Xian and Bai Yue's arrival when a servant told him about their arrival.

The three then sat on the first floor that the inn owner used to do culinary and beverage business.

Chen Shen immediately instructed the waiter to entertain them with tea and snacks while waiting for the rain to subside.

Chen Shen laughed lightly. "Hahaha, when I saw you two I was a little worried because you guys still look so young. I thought Bai Lian's sect would send adults, tell me, how old are you two?"

Mo Xian could see Chen Shen's disbelief in him and Bai Yue. He could accept it because sending a young boy to escort his wife and two children was obviously quite alarming.

"I'm only fifteen, this year, and my friend will be thirteen." Bai Yue replied calmly.

Chen Shen laughed again at Bai Yue's reply. "Well, really young. I'm sorry for my disrespect, but may I know at what level you are now?"

Mo Xian looked at Bai Yue. Ever since they were appointed as Bao Yu's disciples and told to forget about being strong, Mo Xian and Bai Yue had completely respected Bao Yu's orders and had never checked their cultivation conditions, either, both just feel that the exercises and lessons they get flow like water, making their minds calm because they are not focused on a goal, they just feel their condition is getting better day by day.

Bai Yue stared at Mo Xian at a glance before extending her hand, spiritual energy flowed towards the back of her hand and the lotus flower pattern began to glow and gave rise to the white smoke of a mini-sized leopard. Bai Yue then looked at the creature and gave him an order.

"Bai Yue, fifteen years old, level one spiritual."

After saying that, Bai Yue pulled back her guardian star.

Chen Shen stared in admiration at what he saw. "You're really at the spiritual level of level one? Hahaha, it turns out that Bai Lian's sect has talent from heaven. Already being at the Spiritual Level at such a young age was truly rare!"

Chen Shen then looked at Mo Xian. "What about your friend, is he also ...."

Mo Xian was about to do the same as Bai Yue, but Bai Yue prevented him.

"Master should have trusted us by now."

Chen Shen laughed stiffly as he watched Bai Yue who was flat with her flat face. "Hahaha, you're right. I shouldn't underestimate a big sect like Bai Lian sect. Life is always unexpected, who would have thought I would see a blessing from heaven today. This way I don't have to worry about the safety of my wife and two daughters."

The rain began to subside and Chen Shen then called his wife and two twin daughters who had been waiting in the room since.

Again Mo Xian and Bai Yue got an unpleasant look from Chen Shen's wife which implied from her face an indecision and disbelief.

"Laogong, aren't you wrong about taking people? How can you let two little boys escort us?" tanya Chen Fen— Chen Shen's.

Chen Shen smiled as he helped his wife board the carriage, whispering, "Don't talk carelessly. One of them was already at the first level Spiritual Level. You see that white-haired young man, he is a blessing from heaven, there has never been anyone who entered the Spiritual Level at such a young age."

Chen Fen stared suspiciously, in disbelief. "Laogong, are you sure you weren't tricked by Bai Lian's sect? As great as Bai Lian's sect was, they still loved money."

Chen Shen waved his hand. "Although Bai Lian's sect loved money, Bai Lian's sect had never disappointed before. You believe them."

After saying that, Chen Fen got inside the carriage and closed the window.

"May Yin, Xiaomei." Chen Shen turned to his two daughters who were still standing outside, faithfully watching Mo Xian and Bai Yue with a look of admiration.

Mo Xian also noticed how the two girls written in the letter had eleven years old indeed had identical faces, the only thing that could be used to distinguish the two was that Chen Mei Yin had a mole under her lips while Chen Xiaomei did not.

"Dad, they're so handsome, are they on duty to escort us home?" chen Mei Yin asked.

Chen Shen smiled. "True, they'll both escort you both home. So I'm asking you not to trouble them both."

Chen Xiaomei clucked in annoyance. "Aiya, Dad! I think Daddy's daughters like to trouble others, but Dad ...." Chen Xiaomei pulled up Chen Shen's sleeves.

"They're really handsome. Unlike the people you hired to show me the way."

Chen Shen laughed hearing that, he then subconsciously glanced at the group of people who would also be escorting his wife and son. They were the middle-aged men Chen Shen had hired to show the way, they numbered four. Actually Chen Shen only hired one thin man, but the skinny man actually brought three muscular men with him and said that it was a bonus for having used his services.

After making sure his wife and daughters were comfortable in the carriage, Chen Shen ushered in their departure.

"Good on the way and send my greetings and prayers to Dad."

"You take it easy, I'm sure dad is fine, he just misses Xiaomei and Mei Yin."

Chen Shen nodded his head, waved his hand, seeing the carriage carrying his wife start walking with his entourage.

"I entrust the safety of my wife and daughters to you."

Mo Xian and Bai Yue nodded before going to follow the carriage with the horse that Chen Shen had provided. And their journey begins.
