The Guardians: The Swordsman of the Moon

Compassion.

Five years have passed since Mo Xian was adopted as the Li family's son and his life has gotten better. Mo Xian had never lacked anything, Li Zhou Ran had so much pampered him that Li Huan had spoiled him.

When Mo Xian was asked when his birthday was, Mo Xian could not answer because he really did not know and Li Zhou Ran directly called the Elders in the Four Stones city to find out when Mo Xian was born and if the elder found Mo Xian born in a bad year, month, date and day, Li Zhou Ran stubbornly asked him to find the best year, month of date and day.

Mo Xian was born on the 27th day of the eighth month. The elder said Mo Xian was born in the year of the rabbit with an excellent lucky star, making Li Zhou Ran so happy that he was willing to throw away a bag of gold pieces to pay the Four Stones city Elder.

And from then on, Mo Xian's birthday had always been celebrated festively and festively for seven days and seven nights. However, after his eighth birthday Mo Xian kindly refused to make a party that he thought was squandering money. According to Mo Xian, it would be better if his birthday was celebrated by sharing with others.

Li Huan and Li Zhou Ran were fascinated by Mo Xian's thinking intelligence and increasingly admired and cherished Mo Xian. From then on, every time Mo Xian had a birthday, the Li family home would be crowded with disadvantaged people such as beggars and vagabonds lining up for the good of young master Mo Xian who was quickly famous in the Four Stones city.

Mo Xian himself did not know he had been known in all corners of the city. People called Mo Xian a blessing from a god, a lover of heaven, a heart as gentle as jade with a face as beautiful as a lotus flower.

As Mo Xian grew older, Mo Xian realized that he was after all a girl disguised as a man. Li Huan and Li Zhou Ran did not know about this because Mo Xian had never allowed them to help him bathe and dress on the grounds that he was used to doing it himself and did not want to trouble others.

Li Huan had no problem with that, instead Li Zhou Ran who had long wanted to have children and take care of children occasionally insisted on wanting to bathe and help her dress when Mo Xian was five years old, but Mo Xian always had a way to avoid it and would only let Li Zhou Ran comb and tie his hair every day.

In line with time, Mo Xian's face grew more and more beautiful and began to be known as a kind-hearted beautiful-looking young man. Not only did it take the hearts of the servant girls in his house, Mo Xian had also already attracted most of the hearts of the girls throughout the city.

Li Huan, that man who had now become his adoptive father was actually not an ordinary cultivator. Mo Xian learned this as he chased after Xiao Hei who suddenly ran into Li Huan's study. Inside Li Huan's study, the, Mo Xian saw many important scrolls and out of curiosity Mo Xian read scrolls that contained more or less information that Mo Xian of course did not understand. 

However, when Li Huan saw his study room being plundered by Mo Xian, the man did not get angry and instead explained in detail every scroll that was in his room.

Li Huan was selling information, he was the chairman of the Peacock Alliance. Li Huan had members scattered across the continent to search for information and sell information. Li Huan said, The Peacock Alliance is a powerful organization descended from his late teacher.

At first Mo Xian did not know the intended strength, nor how powerful and how formidable the Peacock Alliance was. Ever since he was raised as a child, Mo Xian had never seen any more fighting and bloodshed.

Li Huan and Li Zhou Ran were truly guarding her like precious gems that could only be displayed, seen and admired. Mo Xian, though, should not interfere in menial work.

"Let the waiter do it."

"Let your father do it."

"Aiya, don't do that!"

"Let mother do it."

"Go and do something better than this, or play with Xiao Hei."

This situation made Mo Xian bored and felt that he was too pampered, so in the end someone came to the Li family home.

That person had a terrible look with an incision scar on his cheek. His long hair was tied high like a ponytail, his teeth pointed like shark teeth. It had to be admitted that back then Mo Xian had goosebumps looking at him.

"Luo Chen, long time no see. How is Master Fai Huang?"

"Good Master Huang's News. Very good."

"Oh, that's good. Then what made you come to my residence?" li Huan asked at that time.

The man named Luo Chen smiled until his teeth were seen, staring intently at Mo Xian who was then standing beside Li Huan.

"A great person like Mr. Li Huan who was famous as the head of the Peacock Alliance with a myriad of information would have known already. The palace had given the order to gather all the talented youths to study martial arts in the nearby sects."

Li Zhou Ran who heard that directly kicked over the table.

"Hmph! Stupid time with the palace. Our family and our alliance are unrelated and never submit to the palace. Our son Xian'er is not going anywhere!"

Li Huan tried to calm his wife by clasping her hands. Li Zhou Ran who was getting it immediately looked at him sharply.

Li Huan who received a deadly gaze from his wife tried to smile with trembling lips. He knew his wife loved Mo Xian so much that she did not want to be separated. 

Li Huan's gaze turned to Luo Chen.

"Our son is not going anywhere. And if she had to learn martial arts, then the only people who would be her teachers would be me and my wife. We've both had enough for her."

Luo Chen laughed out loud at the answer, while Mo Xian stared in surprise.

"I heard that this child was loved and loved, and I didn't hear wrong. But, the great Mr and Mrs Li ...," Luo Chen deliberately gave a pause to give Mo Xian a sharp look.

"Wouldn't it be a misfortune and bad luck for the self-esteem of the Peacock Alliance if their young master had never appeared anywhere. Or should I say ... useless," he said with a cynical smile.

Mo Xian who heard it somehow felt heartache. And who acted on his heartache was Li Zhou Ran who aggressively immediately launched an attack with a fan that was always taken everywhere.

From the fan appeared a gust of wind that was too great until the pillars of the large house were cut in half. The man-Luo Chen-man managed to dodge with a smooth movement. 

Mo Xian who had just first seen his adoptive mother raging was at a loss for words, he had often seen the woman go berserk for trifles and get angry whenever he saw something wrong and out of place. However, for this matter, a fan that could create wind that could even break a pillar, it was only this time.

"Omong empty!" Li Zhou Ran squinted his arm and flicked his fan across his face.

"My son is a blessing from a god, a lover of heaven, with a heart as soft as jade, and a face as beautiful as a lotus flower. Mo Xian'er is our pride, how dare you useless trash say with your dirty mouth and smell that he is useless. Let this great woman pluck out your tongue with my own hands!"

Li Zhou Ran jumped up and attacked Luo Chen, directing them to the courtyard. The two fought fiercely and exchanged attacks, Li Huan watched them and asked Mo Xian to come in and wait inside, but Mo Xian refused.

Mo Xian never knew that the chatty woman who had become his adoptive mother was a great fighter. Several times Li Zhou Ran outperformed Luo Chen with his trademark attack, which was the wind. Li Zhou Ran's fan-made wind could take the form of a whirlwind, a strong gust to the point that it was enough to knock down walls and break bones, sometimes it was a blade-sharp wind.

Luo Chen who had insulted the proud son of the Li family, was indeed not an ordinary person, his abilities could also be said to be quite great, but not strong enough when compared to Li Zhou Ran's strength. It was easy for Li Zhou Ran to get him cornered and injured, until finally someone suddenly descended from the sky and shot out a sword, separating the two.

An old man with a long, white beard landed in the courtyard.

Li Zhou Ran stared dislikefully. 

"Two bangka! Did you come to take your protege's body or stand in my way? Tell this great woman to make a decision!"

"Greetings to Li Zhou Ran's mistress," he said before staring at Li Huan and Mo Xian who were standing on the porch. "Greet master Li Huan and greetings young master Mo."

Li Huan received and returned a greeting from the old man. 

"Greetings Master Huang."

However Li Zhou Ran was reluctant to accept the greeting and did not want to embalm it other than with, "Hmph!"

"Please forgive my student's mistake, whatever he does must be due to misunderstanding. I sent him to your residence not to seek enmity with the Li family." 

Li Zhou Ran threw out a spit. "Pey! What misprospect? The foul mouth of your disciple has clearly demeaned my son! And you still dare to say that you are not looking for enmity in our house!?"

Luo Chen laughed with a condition that was already heavily injured, his mouth spewing blood.

"Hahaha, I also heard from the passing wind. Isn't young master Mo not your son?" luo Chen asked with a contemptuous smile.

Everyone was surprised by his words. There was one thing that became an important prohibition in the city of Four Stones, especially in the Li family residence. No one should say that Mo Xian was not a child of the Li family. Li Zhou Ran would be furious and punish anyone who said that if he heard it. And now Luo Chen said that right in front of her, as if Luo Chen was deliberately spitting right on her face.

Li Zhuo Ran's pretty face began to blacken and turn red, his hands clasping tightly onto his fan. He was about to make an attack to kill the dirt that had dared to humiliate his son and boldly said Mo Xian was not his son.

However, before the attack was successful. Li Huan swiftly blocked him.

"Rummit!" shouted Li Zhou Ran furiously.

Li Huan did not say anything, he just looked at Mo Xian and Mo Xian already understood what he should do. Quickly, Mo Xian dashed down the stairs and approached the angry woman, holding her hand.

"Mother, stop," Mo Xian said to Li Zhou Ran who had calmed down as he held onto her hand.

"My son," said Li Zhou Ran softly. "Go back to your room, let me finish what needs to be done." His gaze stared intently at Luo Chen.

Mo Xian shook his head. "That's enough, Mother. Don't dirty Mom's hand again, it's not like this if you want to avenge Mom's anger."

Li Zhou Ran looked at him in surprise. "What do you mean?"

Mo Xian smiled. "Let's go back first, and I'll tell Mom."

Li Zhou Ran stared intently at the two uninvited guests. "Remember today, if it wasn't for my son. Your shit**** is really gonna die on my hands!"

That way, Mo Xian managed to bring Li Zhou Ran back inside the house and left the rest to Li Huan.

Li Huan stared flatly at the two uninvited guests to his residence and not only had they made a ruckus, they had also hurt his son and wife. Li Huan obviously could not let go of this just like that.

"From today the Peacock Alliance will never accept or sell any information to your sect, Fai Huang. Your students are already completely outrageous. Dare to insult my son in front of my face, is he tired of living?" li Huan asked with a flat face.

Fai Huang pulled his hand and bowed once. "It's completely out of my control. I sent my disciple to send an invitation letter to our sect and ask young master Mo to study in our sect. I-"

"That's just an unsubstantiated reason, your speech and your student's behavior are completely reversed. Which is right? You sent out invitations to join or sent insults? If, your sect is not located near this city, I will burn down your worthless little sect" Li Huan said coldly.

Luo Chen who had been laughing against Li Zhou Ran all of a sudden felt his entire body shiver. He stared in disbelief at the man with the scar in his left eye that turned out to be emitting an extremely frightening aura.

"Luo Chen." Li Huan looked at him. "Just because you are the oldest disciple and have managed to kill some enemies and a handful of demons, you consider yourself the most formidable and boldly say insult to my son in front of my face."

Luo Chen's body trembled for an unclear reason. He also seemed to be at a loss for all the words of contempt that came out of his mouth when dealing with Li Zhuo Ran.

Fai Huang who was standing beside him looked at him with an angry and disappointed look. Luo Chen felt he had actually made a very fatal mistake, but he still did not know where his mistake lay. To him, the Peacock Alliance was not great and powerful other than in the information field, either, he had no idea that Master Li Huan who had met several times when he was selling information could give off an aura that suppressed his strength and made his entire body shiver.

"Master Li Huan, this is just a misunderstanding. I'll educate my disciple-" Fai Huang tried to negotiate, but Li Huan coldly cut him off.

"Not necessary," he said coldly before out of nowhere a needle managed to pierce Luo Chen's spiritual energy core which meant that Luo Chen's spiritual energy core had been tampered with and Luo Chen was nothing like an ordinary human.

Luo Chen cried out in pain as his spiritual core was damaged. 

Fai Huang stared in disbelief at what had just happened. Fai Huang knew the needle that pierced Luo Chen's spiritual energy core was the deed of Li Huan who had the power to move quickly until if it was weaker than Li Huan, it was Li Huan's, that person could not see Li Huan's movements.

"Master ...," Fai Huang was about to say something, but again Li Huan interrupted.

"Do I need to kill him?" tanyakanya.

Fai Huang gritted his teeth before helping his disciple.

"I just don't understand why you need to do this. You have severed ties with our sect, Luo Chen has also been injured, then why did you also damage my disciple's spiritual energy core?"

Li Huan smiled kindly seeing Fai Huang supporting Luo Chen.

"Because I love my son and I'm afraid of my wife."

"...."
