The Guardians: The Swordsman of the Moon

Back to the house.

Mo Xian parted ways with Lady Hu at the border of the city, he even provided a map for Mo Xian not to get lost on the way, as Mr. Kong and his three men had died.

Entering the boarding area their group continued to walk and see many things. Looking at the farmers who were planting rice and the children who were running around playing while waiting for their parents to work, Mo Xian again thought about what Lady Hu said.

"That spell belongs to a ghost wearing Mr. Kong's body, I think he's in a hurry after taking the lives of his three men. After all, the ghost seemed to need two virgin girls' blood in order to live longer in the human body."

Mo Xian could understand, he had once read that ghosts would need the blood of virgin maidens and virgin blood to sustain his life in human form. As they consumed virgin blood, the disguise of ghosts would be very difficult to figure out. Even great cultivators would be hard to figure out.

Letting his mind wander and still not find a common ground, Mo Xian looked back at the spell and folded it back before saving it. Lady Hu promised that she would help Mo Xian to find out where the ghosts were casting the spell from.

Although the Peacock Alliance is also trying to figure out who the mastermind behind the blood spell is, Mrs Hu said it would be difficult for humans to find information among ghosts. It would be easier if the demonic beasts were to do so, as they had gotten used to mingling.

"Mo Xian's."

Mo Xian turned his head to look at Bai Yue who was walking by his side.

"Hmm?"

"There's a fork in front."

Mo Xian noticed there was a fork in the road ahead and immediately checked the map. "We're going straight."

Bai Yue nodded, riding her horse quietly. After Mr. Kong's departure, their trip felt easier.

"What are you thinking?" asked Bai Yue.

"Huh?" Mo Xian looked over.

"Since you seemed unfocused, did that fox woman make you like this?"

Mo Xian shook his head. "No, just thinking about something else," he answered lying.

Bai Yue looked at Mo Xian for a moment as if trying to find a lie from him. However, he only sighed and continued on his way.

Their journey went well until they reached their destination after two days. Chen Meiyin and Chen Xiaomei many asked Mo Xian as Madam Chen slept inside the carriage. Then the two girls would return silent and sit sweetly upon hearing Madam Chen call them.

After driving Madame Chen to her residence, Chen Meiyin and Chen Xiaomei forced Bai Yue and Mo Xian to stay over. But they refused politely.

"There are things we should do in Bai Lian. Forgive us for rejecting your kindness."

Madam Chen still looked displeased. However, Grandpa Chen who was excited to see his two grandchildren return safely tried to force Mo Xian and Bai Yue to stay as thanks. The cheerful old man even yelled at the whole waiter to cook a good meal and buy the most expensive meat in the market to entertain his two guests.

However, Mo Xian and Bai Yue still refused.

"I'm sorry, we really can't accept your kindness. We have to go back and report to our teacher."

Hearing him, Grandpa Chen and his two grandchildren were extremely disappointed. Especially Chen Meiyin, she had already planned to force her grandfather to make Mo Xian her teacher before becoming her fiance in the future, but her brain was too shallow and could only swallow a bitter taste.

"Alright, alright, the two Immortal Cultivating Lords are so busy. I am so grateful that you brought my family safely. However, as a thank you I don't want the two Immortal Emperor Lords to reject this one."

Madam Chen became the one who was the most unhappy when she saw her father-in-law not only filling Mo Xian and Bai Yue's horses with souvenirs like provisions for travel, agricultural produce, and even, fruits up to the highest quality bacon, his father-in-law even gave them a red bag filled with gold coins.

Ms. Chen tried to advise her father-in-law by saying that they had been paid by her son. However, Madam Chen was instead scolded by her father-in-law for being ungrateful, the bad guy almost took her grandson and these two people had helped her, their family had always taught her to return the favor, even the money in the red bag was still not enough when compared to the two grandchildren they saved.

After saying goodbye, the two began their journey back to Bai Lian with many items and a few pieces of gold coins inside the red bag.

The happiest one here was Xiao Hei who was happily hugging the smoked meat that was even larger than his body. However, Mo Xian did not give away all of the smoke and gave it to him little by little, sometimes Xiao Hei would meow in protest and stretched out his claws to confiscate more, but Mo Xian was still in his stance.

"Eat just enough, Xiao Hei, or you will become a fat cat in the future."

Xiao Hei simply meowed in response and acted by sitting on the back of the horse, ignoring Mo Xian.

"Your cat is like no ordinary cat, is he also a magical beast?"

Mo Xian laughed at Xiao Hei's behavior. "Ah, I think so too, but it seems like he's just an ordinary cat with strong instincts."

The two continued on their way and did not take long to return as there was no need to use the detour and pass through the dead village. They passed the newly renovated bridge and returned to Bao Yu's residence.

At Bao Yu's residence, Wu Jiao Xing immediately pulled Mo Xian's ear.

"Are you really not able to stay home for a while and not wander around when I'm not around?"

Mo Xian rubbed his red and hot ears, grumbling at the heartless Wu Jiao Xing.

"You left the same day I finished my training, can't you wait!"

"How can I wait, the teacher said after getting out of your body training it takes time to adjust for a few days ... Aiya! Gege!"

Mo Xian could not continue his words, Wu Jiao Xing had already locked his head with both arms.

"I don't want to hear any excuses!"

Mo Xian thrashed, hitting Wu Jiao Xing for release.

"Aiya, Gege let me go! Unhand me!"

"Promise first!"

"Good! Alrighty! I promise I won't go anywhere without Gege. Release him! Unhand me!"

Bai Yue and Bai Rue looked at the two brothers while shaking their heads in their manner. Zhang Rouruan he couldn't help but smile as well as Bao Yu who had just come out from within.

Looking at Bao Yu, Bai Yue ignored Mo Xian who was still being taught a lesson by Wu Jiao Xing.

"Greetings, Teacher." Bao Yu saluted Bao Yu.

Bao Yu nodded her head, smiling she stroked her beard.

"What about your trip, you delivered your client safely to the destination, didn't you?"

Bai Yue nodded, following her teacher who was sitting on a stone table chair in the courtyard.

"We did well, Master" Bai Yue replied. "Just we're having a little trouble on the way."

Bao Yu looked at Bai Yue then moved on to Mo Xian who was still struggling from Wu Jiao Xing's grip.

"What kind of trouble do you meet bad people on the street?" Zhang Rouruan asked as he sat down.

Bai Yue nodded. "Mr Chen hired a road guide, but the person he hired actually took us to the village to die and tried to attack us."

"Dead village?" Bao Yu asked in surprise.

Bai Yue nodded. "It was a village in the woods, at that time the bridge was being renovated, the man who was hired to show us the way showed us another path and took us there."

Bao Yu nodded. "Mm, that village ... I didn't give a warning because I thought the bridge was still fine. Forty years have passed, the village has mysteriously lost its inhabitants."

"Lost?" Bai Ruo asked curiously.

"Nobody knows where everyone's going, how can it be?" Zhang Rouruan chimed.

Bao Yu stroked his beard. "Even the Immortal Cultivators had already done an examination there. However, they could not find out what was happening in the village or where the villagers were missing."

"Teachers do checks there too?"

"M."

Bao Yu then looked at Bai Yue. "Then what happened there?"

"The person Mr. Chen hired was named Mr. Kong, but he was not a human being."

"Not human?"

Bai Yue nodded.

"Master Kong seemed to be after the blood of master Chen's two daughters, as we fought Mo Xian accidentally struck the mingmen belonging to master Kong, back then Mo Xian immediately cast a spell on master Kong's body."

Bao Yu nodded, looking back at his two students who were still busy fighting. Wu Jiao Xing was still painstakingly lecturing Mo Xian, and Mo Xian was about to close his ears, then Wu jiao Xing would pull his ears or give him a death lock on the neck, and Mo Xian would struggle to break away. The cycle continued to repeat itself several times, becoming an entertainment for Xiao Hei who had been watching on horseback, chewing on the smoked meat that had not been lowered.

Shaking his head, Bao Yu then asked, "Then how next?"

Bai Yue continued. "Mo Xian sealed the ghost inside the bottle because he wanted to ask Master something, but the disciple did not know."

Sighing, Bao Yu then patted Bai Yue on the shoulder before saying that she was going back to the study room and asking Mo Xian to meet her after she finished her affairs with Wu Jiao Xing.
