The Guardians: The Swordsman of the Moon

Kota

It took four days to climb down the mountain before arriving at the nearest city because Mo Xian refused to be carried by Li Huan and chose to walk. Mo Xian did not want to make Li Huan's injuries worse as he continued to carry her on every trip and used his inner strength to lighten the body.

From the web novel that Mo Xian had read in his previous life. It was said that cultivators used inner power for all of his actions, and to obtain the inner power they had to cultivate for a long time before reaching the so-called immortality, where a kutivator can make himself look younger even though the original is old.

Even Mo Xian had once read that cultivators could be up to hundreds of years old. If Mo Xian could learn their science, Mo Xian would also happily continue to appear youthful throughout his life. Now, it seemed like Mo Xian was starting to have a life purpose direction, cultivator. Immortal cultivators.

On the other hand, Li Huan felt deeply moved by Mo Xian's attitude, as he volunteered to carry her down the mountain. Mo Xian gently rejected her offer.

"Uncle, pay attention to Uncle even better. Didn't Uncle say 'living is responsible for himself'.

I'm grateful that Uncle has carried me this far, but Uncle also needs time to rest so that Uncle's injuries don't get any worse.

Now, how about we take a leisurely walk down the mountain. Didn't Uncle say we'll be in town soon?

Don't underestimate my little leg, Uncle, when with Mo Shan-Xiansheng I've climbed and climbed down the mountain before," Mo Xian said half-lyingly.

Li Huan smiled seeing little Mo Xian now massaging his little legs after they reached a restaurant and rested there. 

Li Huan noticed with relief that as time went by, Mo Xian seemed to have managed to deal with his feelings of sadness. Li Huan again could not help but be amazed at the child he said was only five years old, but his attitude was really very mature and wise. Whoever it was a boy named Mo Shan, Li Huan thanked him for educating an excellent and adorable child.

"Did your leg hurt?" ask Li Huan.

Mo Xian who had been massaging his own feet looked at Li Huan who was sitting across the table put back his teacup and shifted closer to him.

Mo Xian shyly nodded, this was the first time he had gone down the mountain for four days with his little legs. His feet felt very stiff and stiff.

Li Huan smiled, attentively extending his hand and grabbing Mo Xian's small leg, massaging it slowly.

"Xian'er is a good boy. Worried that uncle's wounds were going bad, Xian'er had to walk for four days. Uncle feels bad."

"No, I'm fine. A Xian and Mo Shan-Xiansheng had traveled a lot before, Uncle don't feel bad for A Xian," Mo Xian said as he massaged his legs feeling better. 

Li Huan smiled again. The kid he found was truly an amazing kid. He was so grateful that the god wrote down the destiny to bring them together.

"Alright, uncle will massage you until your feet get better. After that, we can rent an inn for a break and uncle will find medicine for your feet to get better."

Mo Xian nodded after saying thank you. Afterwards, Li Huan actually rented a room and left Mo Xian alone while Li Huan went looking for medicine.

Perhaps from being tired after a long trip, Mo Xian slept early while enduring the pain. However, in the middle of the night when she woke up due to the pain in her leg, she felt something cold but comfortable taking care of her leg until the pain was slowly gone. Mo Xian did not know who did that because he did not want to open his eyes after gaining a sense of comfort.

The next day Li Huan brought Mo Xian for breakfast and rented a horse carriage and went to a place that Mo Xian did not know.

Mo Xian stared out the window, the carriage had already walked quite a distance, out of the city gate and now the carriage had started to pass through the forest-splitting road.

"Uncle, where are we going?" mo Xian asked in the end. Ever since they entered the carriage, Li Huan had not said anything, it seemed like the man was having something on his mind.

Li Huan who had been struggling with his own thoughts immediately came to a realization and looked at Mo Xian.

"We're going to a four-mile town. There uncle lives."

Mo Xian nodded. He then remembered a thing that they had not really talked too much before.

"Who does Uncle live with?" 

"Uncle lives with uncle's wife, he'll be so happy to see you later."

Mo Xian's face darkened, for some reason he felt that he was being made a gift for someone.

"Then, Uncle ..., sister ...,"

"Uncle's sisters are all married. We live apart now."

Mo Xian nodded, he stroked Xiao Hei who had been sitting quietly in his lap since then.

"What is the place still far away?" 

Li Huan smiled.

"No, we'll be there soon. Does Xian'er feel unwell or drunk on a train?"

Mo Xian immediately shook his head.

Li Huan smiled in return and not long after, they actually reached their destination.

The horse-drawn carriage stopped at a gate and a servant immediately opened a wooden door that looked very old, but still sturdy.

Li Huan helped Mo Xian down and carried him through the vast courtyard of the house overgrown with blooming peach trees. 

The waiter who opened the door did not help to bring the goods because neither Li Huan nor Mo Xian had any of them brought the goods. However, he immediately ran into the inner courtyard and shouted Li Huan's return.

"Master is back! The master has returned!"

The entire house that was previously deserted, turned into a crowd. The servants of the house were busy going ahead to give a welcome while a woman with more makeup walked in a hurry to forget about the hair that had not been fully styled.

The woman hurriedly walked into the front room, the servants seemed to be crowding there, with a slight annoyance the woman tried to disperse the crowd.

"Yes, what are you doing here. There's nothing you can do right now. You're always lounging ...," The woman stopped nagging as she managed to advance forward after getting rid of some servants and seeing her husband-Li Huan-in-the middle kneeling beside a little boy who was carrying a black cat.

Seeing his wife, Li Huan smiled and spoke to Mo Xian.

"Mr ...,"

"Aiya, what is this?" His words were immediately cut off by his wife.

The woman's face darkened, staggered back and nearly fell. Luckily Li Huan's movements were quick and managed to support him.

"Laopo, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" li Huan asked worriedly.

Getting such a question, the woman immediately stood up straight and brushed aside Li Huan, looking at him coldly before holding onto her forehead. 

"Yes, Laogong! How dare you cheat on me and take your son to my house! This great woman could not accept it!" his weakness.

Li Huan who heard his wife's words immediately understood and laughed a little louder. 

"Laopo, you've misunderstood" he said.

The woman flicked her sleeve. "Look, four months you didn't come home and you came home with a child. How will you explain!"

Li Huan tried to hold back the laughter. "Then how do I explain a child who was born and grew up in four months?"

Hearing him, the woman's mind seemed to be illuminated by a new lantern. She then stared in bewilderment at her husband and Mo Xian in turn.

"Who is this kid? Why did you bring her home?"

Mo Xian had not expected to be accused of being the result of an illicit relationship. The loud voice of the woman that Li Huan dragged into the room was still heard even after Li Huan had told the maid to serve Mo Xian in the living room.

After a while of waiting, Mo Xian who was eating cookies was suddenly hugged by a woman who had been angry since.

"Aiya, my poor son. From now on this great woman will not let you get hurt again!" 

Mo Xian felt uncomfortable with the sudden treatment. The woman hugged him and rubbed him while saying less obvious things like,

"I'll love you."

"I'll take good care of you."

"You'll get all the love from this whole house and town."

At first Mo Xian did not understand what the woman meant, as he looked for answers by looking at Li Huan, the man simply smiled with teary eyes.

However, after that he soon understood that Li Huan and his wife-Li Zhou Ran-wanted to raise him as a child because they had not been blessed with children.

Mo Xian did not know how to respond to their wishes, but after he thought back that good fortune had actually followed him ever since he moved to this world. 

On the first day he almost died, Mo Shan saved him. As Mo Shan disappeared, Li Huan appeared and saved him, he was also still indebted to Li Huan's kindness, thus Mo Xian finally accepted Li Huan and Li Zhou Ran's wishes. However, on the condition that he could not put Li's surname inside his name because Mo Xian wanted to have the only name of Mo Shan.

Li Huan and his wife did not mind that. After all, the entire city already knew that young master Mo Xian was the lover of heaven the son of the Li family.
