The Guardians: The Swordsman of the Moon

Other Road.

Chen Fen's entourage was at least thirteen, including Chen Fen and his two children, two male servants and two female servants, one man was the directional pointer and three muscular men were the directional men were carrying, and the last were Mo Xian and Bai Yue, respectively, also Xiao Hei who since the beginning of departure had already placed himself on the roof of the carriage, watched Mo Xian for a while before going to bed.

The group continues to walk out of the White Lotus city (Bai Lian) to the forest and must cross the river. However, just as they had to cross the river, the bridge they encountered turned out to be in repair, Mo Xian asked one of the workers who was repairing the bridge if there was any other path they could cross, the resident told me there was another bridge, but it was quite far away from where they were. And if they want to use this road, the bridge is only completed after two days, the worker also advised to wait for two days instead of forcing to use another bridge, because in addition to far away, the worker also advised to wait for two days, the bridge has not been used for a long time.

Mo Xian looked at Bai Yue. "This bridge isn't on the map, but they say it's here." Mo Xian pointed at the picture of the forest on his sheepskin map.

Bai Yue seemed to think for a moment and looked at the map. They had never traveled far before, their activities were carried out within the White Lotus city and had never gone out of the city before. However, their teacher—Bao Yu—who gave the map as their handle so as not to get lost, now that the only bridge was impassable, they felt hesitant to take another path.

Madam Chen Fen who felt her carriage had stopped for too long opened the window of her carriage and looked outside.

"What's wrong? Why do we stop too long, if we keep going like this I'll be late to get home." Madam Chen Fen said unhappily.

Mo Xian immediately lowered his head. "I'm sorry, but the bridge is being repaired, two more days can be passed, does the Madam want to return to the inn and wait until the bridge is repaired?"

Madam Chen Fen's eyebrows wrinkled. "Waiting two days, that means I'll get to my father-in-law's house after seven days, is there no other way?"

Mo Xian immediately replied. "There's another way, but it's not written on the map that our teacher gave us, nor do we really understand the terrain there ...."

"Then take that road, why are you still waiting. Don't tell me you're buying time for us to give you more money!"

Mo Xian smiled wryly, this woman was actually what she was talking about, if she knew that Mo Xian and Bai Yue actually did not receive any payment at all for their services. The entire money earned from the mission would go into the pocket of sect master Bai Lian as a token of Bao Yu's gratitude to sect master Bai Lian for letting him bring some Bai Lian sect disciples. Bao Yu also said to consider this mission as part of the exercise.

"I'm sorry, Madam. We don't mean that either, we won't add any more fees if the Madam stays some more time until the bridge is over. We're just worried about the place we're going to get off track." Mo Xian explained patiently.

Madam Chen Fen seemed to be thinking, but she still showed an unpleasant face while fanning her face.

However, all of a sudden Mr. Kong—man was hired to point out the direction— approached them. The skinny man rubbed his hands and smiled at the two.

"I'm sorry, Madam Chen, Master Immortal Cultivator. Is there a problem, if your problem is a broken bridge, we can use another bridge as informed by the citizens."

Madam Chen Fen observed Mr. Kong closely. "Is there really another way?"

Mr. Kong smiled and nodded his head.

"Good, then we'll take that road. As soon as we leave, the sooner we get there and the less money I have to spend."

"But, Mrs Chen. We have not confirmed whether the place is safe or not. One of the workers said the bridge had not been used for forty years."

Madam Chen snorted in annoyance. "Who cares, you get paid to protect us. Are you Bai Lian's sect just looking for an easy way to make money!"

Here Mo Xian's patience was completely tested, even his foster mother—Li Zhou Ran's chatty fuss was not as thick as the woman before him.

"Eternal Master Cultivator." Mr. Kong called politely. "Eternal Cultivator Master didn't need to worry about that path, it was safe, just because the path used was quite far away, anyway, the residents of the White Lotus city decided to make a closer road and leave that road."

"That road has long been abandoned, are you sure that the bridge that is there can still be passed by the group?"

Bai Yue then looked at Madam Chen with her sapphire blue eyes.

"Even if we get there and find the bridge unusable, we are wasting time and effort. That means Mrs Chen has to pay us more than what is in the agreement. Our time is precious."

Madam Chen who was listening to it gasped until her eyes fumbled, her face turned red, wanting to get angry but a single word could not come out of her mouth.

"Eternal Demon Master doesn't need to worry either, I've already done an examination beforehand. And you can ask three of my men, I'm telling the truth." Mr. Kong then hinted at the three burly men, the three men then nodded their heads and said Mr. Kong was not lying.

Bai Yue stared with a probing look at Master Kong. "When?"

"Huh?" Mr. Kong doesn't understand.

Mo Xian then confirmed Bai Yue's remark. "When did Mr. Kong inspect the place?"

Mr. Kong seemed to come to a realization and understood, he then smiled as he rubbed his hands. "One week ago, there was someone who used my services, I also went through that road and checked that place is fine and passable."

"If it's like that, why didn't you say it from earlier. You guys are really wasting my time!" Madam Chen said unhappily.

Mr. Kong smiled again. "It's because I don't want to be considered deceptive if I say the bridge that is here is in a period of improvement," he said as he looked at Mo Xian and Bai Yue.

"Hmph! Then what are you waiting for, leave immediately!" Madam Cehen said harshly and closed her window.

Mo Xian looked at Master Kong nodding his head before walking forward with his horse, leading the entourage. Mo Xian felt Master Kong's persona was a little strange.

"Do you think that skinny guy actually forced us to go down that road?" Bai Yue asked as they started walking, following the carriage from behind.

Mo Xian looked in wonder. "You actually have a sharp feeling."

Bai Yue stared flatly at Mo Xian. "Who do you think the Snow Dew people are? Don't underestimate us" he said before increasing the speed of his horse, leaving Mo Xian to stand guard at the rear while Bai Yue guarded the front.

Mo Xian sighed, raised his face and saw Xiao Hei staring at him. He then smiled reminiscing about the past, if he was together with Li Huan and Li Zhou Ran he would be in the carriage and escorted by someone else.

By the way, Mo Xian was also quite worried about Wu Jiao Xing's state, Today should be the day Wu Jiao Xing and the others completed their closed cultivation after three months. Mo Xian thought about how their development after three months of cultivating, Bao Yu said it was likely that their spiritual energy would be perfect after completing their closed cultivation.

It was just that Mo Xian was a little worried that if Wu Jiao Xing came out of closed cultivation and did not see Mo Xian, Wu Jiao Xing would probably be furious, because Wu Jiao Xing's responsibility was to watch over him. Mo Xian also still remembered how stubbornly Wu Jiao Xing refused when told to enter into closed cultivation. Even Mo Xian and Bao Yu had promised a thousand times that Mo Xian was not going anywhere, waiting for Wu Jiao Xing to finish his closed cultivation.

However, there is nothing both can do. In the end Mo Xian did not keep his promise and had to go complete the mission, and Wu Jiao Xing had no other choice to start studying with Bao Yu.
