Chapter 189 Free and Easy



The biggest feeling that the City Lord's Mansion gave Mo Shaoqing was that it was huge, ridiculously huge.

Mo Shaoqing thought it would not be difficult to find Lin Xiaoran, but after walking around for a long time, he saw dozens of houses, but most of them were uninhabited. He had to try to find the largest and most imposing ones along the way, perhaps that was Lin Xiaoran's residence.

But not long after turning around, a voice suddenly came: "Sir, the master wants to see you!"

Mo Shaoqing was shocked and looked quickly in the direction where the voice came from. He saw a graceful girl standing more than ten meters away, looking at him from afar.

Mo Shaoqing's heart tightened, and he turned around and ran away without thinking. But before he took a step, he heard the girl say, "This guest came uninvited, doesn't he even want to see the host?"

Mo Shaoqing gritted his teeth, bowed to the girl, and whispered, "I accidentally walked into this place, I hope you will forgive me!"

Mo Shaoqing was obviously talking nonsense. After all, this was the city lord's mansion, surrounded by walls. How did he get in by mistake?

The girl seemed to be unconcerned, she just smiled faintly and said, "I wonder if this guest would be willing to meet the Master?"

"But I don't know who the young lady's master is?"

"My master's surname is Feng, his taboo name is Shao, and he is the Lord of Wuling City!"

Mo Shaoqing couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this. This time, he was caught red-handed.

In fact, Mo Shaoqing could have chosen to turn around and run. After traveling down the mountain for so many years, no matter how strong he was, at least he was confident that he could escape well, so he was very sure that the girl would not catch him. But since the other party was ready to entertain him, if he ran away, it would seem that he was too narrow-minded. He had already lost face because he was caught trespassing, and he didn't want to lose face even more.

So he nodded and said, "That would be disrespectful to refuse."

Mo Shaoqing followed the girl and soon arrived at a courtyard. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw a table with several exquisite side dishes. Behind the table sat a man and a woman.

The girl stepped forward, bowed to the two and said, "Master, Master's Wife, the guests have been brought here."

Feng Shao smiled and said, "Qiu Shuang has worked hard, you should go and have a rest now!"

After the girl left, Lin Xiaoran smiled and said, "Senior Brother Shaoqing, please take a seat."

Hearing the words "Senior Brother Shaoqing", Mo Shaoqing's eyes widened and he said in a lost voice: "You...you are the Pavilion Master's daughter, Lin Xiaoran?"

Lin Xiaoran smiled and nodded: "Brother Shaoqing, I haven't seen you for many years. You are no different from before. I just wonder if Brother Shaoqing can still recognize me now."

Mo Shaoqing shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Girls really change a lot when they grow up. If you hadn't said it yourself, I'm afraid I really wouldn't have recognized you."

After that, Mo Shaoqing walked forward and sat opposite the two of them. Feng Shao took the initiative to pour a glass of wine for Mo Shaoqing and said, "Brother Mo is a disciple of Yunjian Pavilion, so he is one of our family members. Please don't be restrained."

Before this, Mo Shaoqing had hidden hostility towards Feng Shao. After all, Feng Shao had taken away his beloved Bai Yueguang, and he was considered his rival in love. But after seeing Feng Shao's magnanimity, he couldn't help but secretly admire him.

If it were someone else, it would be unlikely that they would treat an uninvited guest so politely.

Although Mo Shaoqing was treated this way, it was mostly because of his status as a disciple of Yunjian Pavilion. But he knew in his heart that Feng Shao was treating Lin Xiaoran's favor more out of consideration.

I just don't know what Feng Shao is thinking about me. After all, there are many smiling tigers in this world.

While thinking, Lin Xiaoran said, "Brother Shaoqing has been down the mountain for eight years, right? I heard from Uncle Xing that Brother Shaoqing went down the mountain to find a method that suits him. I wonder if he has found it now?"

Mo Shaoqing replied, "I am ashamed to say that I have wasted most of these eight years. It was not until recently that I found a set of exercises suitable for me in a secret place in Nanzhou. I was planning to return to Feixing Hall to report the good news to my master, but on the way back, I heard that Junior Sister Lin was about to get married, so I came to see her."

Strangely enough, after seeing Feng Shao and Lin Xiaoran, Mo Shaoqing's previous hostility towards Feng Shao disappeared in an instant. He may not have noticed it himself, but now he is thinking more about where Feng Shao came from and whether he is worthy of Lin Xiaoran, rather than whether Lin Xiaoran was taken away by Feng Shao.

Lin Xiaoran smiled and said, "My wedding with Brother Shao will be held on the 16th. Senior Brother Shaoqing, please stay and greet us."

Seeing Lin Xiaoran's happy smile, Mo Shaoqing suddenly felt a pang in his heart, and he thought of the ignorant little girl eight years ago.

I didn't expect that before I knew it, the cute little girl who looked like a pink ball is now going to get married.

While the two were talking, Feng Shao was secretly observing Mo Shaoqing using the Tianhua Jade Slip.

This Mo Shaoqing could be considered a child of luck, but his luck was a little light, just light purple. Among all the children of luck he had seen, his luck value was the lowest.

But what surprised Feng Shao the most was the change in Mo Shaoqing's fortune.

After entering the courtyard, Mo Shaoqing's luck began to fluctuate. After taking his seat, Mo Shaoqing's luck gradually decreased. After Lin Xiaoran spoke, Mo Shaoqing's luck was like a floodgate opened, and it dropped at a rapid speed. In just half an incense stick of time, the cloud of luck changed from light purple to light red.

Strange! I haven't done anything yet, why is this person's luck declining so quickly?

Looking at Mo Shaoqing himself, he saw that when Lin Xiaoran talked about the wedding, there was just a hint of unnaturalness in Mo Shaoqing's eyes at first, and then he smiled and talked, as if he didn't care at all.

Without him noticing, the luck above his head was rapidly decreasing, and the lost luck was divided into two streams, flowing to Feng Shao and Lin Xiaoran respectively. If you look more carefully, you will find that the luck was mainly absorbed by the Tianhua Jade Slip and the Diyuan Spirit Chapter.

At this moment, Mo Shaoqing was completely unaware that the moment he saw Lin Xiaoran, his mentality had quietly changed.

He no longer regarded Lin Xiaoran as an object of admiration, but as a sister he had watched grow up with. He began to seriously examine the relationship between Lin Xiaoran and Feng Shao, and asked more questions about how Feng Shao treated her. During the conversation, he acted like a brother caring for his sister.

As the saying goes, those involved are often confused, but those who are watching can see clearly. Mo Shaoqing himself did not notice it, but Feng Shao did. Coupled with the changes in his luck cloud, Feng Shao had a vague guess in his mind.

This Mo Shaoqing didn't seem like a real son of destiny. He was more like a cannon fodder who was temporarily pulled out to attract Feng Shao's attention.

To put it simply, he is a temporary worker among the Sons of Fortune.

This discovery surprised Feng Shao greatly, and also made him realize that the sons of luck were also divided into different levels. Different sons of luck should perhaps be dealt with in different ways.

Feng Shao also had a vague guess in his mind. The reason why a son of luck like Mo Shaoqing could lose a lot of luck so easily might be related to the Tianhua Jade Slip and the Diyuan Spirit Chapter of the two. However, this guess has yet to be verified.

At this time, Mo Shaoqing got to know Feng Shao initially through his conversation with Lin Xiaoran, and also realized that it was Lin Xiaoran who took the initiative to propose the marriage contract.

This made Mo Shaoqing couldn't help but sigh: the little girl back then has really grown up and can find her ideal husband by herself.

He raised his glass and said to Lin Xiaoran, "Junior sister, this glass of wine is to congratulate you on finding your ideal husband. I, your senior brother, am here to wish you and your wife a long and happy life together!"

After saying that, Mo Shaoqing drank the wine in the glass.

Then, Mo Shaoqing said to Feng Shao, "Brother Feng, my junior sister grew up in Yunjian Pavilion and was spoiled by everyone. You must be nicer to her in the future, otherwise I, as your senior brother, will fight you to the death even if I can't beat you."

Lin Xiaoran said angrily, "Brother Shaoqing, what nonsense are you talking about? Brother Shao treats me very well and will definitely not let me down in the future."

Mo Shaoqing laughed, "Girl, you really know how to protect your husband!"

Feng Shao raised his glass and said sternly, "Brother Mo's words will be taken to heart."

After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp.

This glass of wine also meant that Feng Shao had given up his intention to kill Mo Shaoqing.

"Well, it's late at night now, and I won't bother you any more. I'll take my leave now. Junior sister, you should also go to bed early." Mo Shaoqing stood up and said to the two of them.

Feng Shao and Lin Xiaoran stood up to see him off and escorted Mo Shaoqing out of the City Lord's Mansion.

After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Mo Shaoqing walked for a long distance, turned a corner, and stopped.

He raised his head, staring blankly at the gradually full moon in the sky, and inexplicably a layer of understanding suddenly appeared in his heart.

He suddenly realized that his obsession with Lin Xiaoran over the years was actually just a mirage. After all, Lin Xiaoran was Lin Fengtian's only daughter, how could a Feixingtang disciple like him covet her?

His persistence, hope, and longing for Lin Xiaoran all these years, now thinking about it, turned out to be so ridiculous. He even had the illusion that his obsession with Lin Xiaoran was forced upon him. Looking back, he had always treated Lin Xiaoran as his sister, just like most of his peers in Yunjian Pavilion.

Thinking of this, he suddenly smiled freely and all the confusion in his eyes disappeared, replaced by determination.

As cultivators, we are here to seek immortality, so how can we be confused by the love between men and women? Now is the time to let go of our obsessions and soar into the sky, making great progress!

He laughed loudly and left.
