“I…..” Mo Xuanzun looked disturbed. After hesitating for a long while, he finally said with a bitter smile, “Shi mei Gong, I wasn’t able to see it clearly!”

“Wasn’t able to see it clearly?”

Gong Zixuan raised her brow and asked in disbelief, “How is that possible. Shi xiong, you really couldn’t tell? Even if you do have some sort of entanglement with little sister Xiao Xiao in the future, surely you’d be able to had a peek of sort!”

“I….”

He opened his mouth and closed it again. Mo Xuanzun had no idea how to explain it. He had tried to calculate both the girl’s origin and fate, but he wasn’t able to see anything. It felt like a slap on his face, so he forced his way to peek into what he shouldn’t just to try and figure it all out. There were two individuals on his mind, but he was only able to see one of them.

In the alternate world, with a quick peek, he felt it was the girl whom he had met and saved in the valley and couldn’t get out of his mind.

As for the so-called Cheng Xiao Xiao, he really didn’t see her; so he really wasn’t able to answer Gong Zixuan’s question.

Shi xiong Mo, does that mean you have no ties at all with little sister Xiao Xiao? Or that you do?”

“Ugh, I am not sure either. I guess  it's a messy relationship?” Mo Xuanzun threw out the first thing on his mind.

Upon hearing that, Gong Zixuan covered up her mouth and smile. Looking at him with great interest, she said, “Shi xiong Mo, if you really fell for my little sister Xiao Xiao, you better be nice to her. Otherwise, I will have a bone to pick with you!”

“Ugh, I don’t think so, Me and her….”

Mo Xuanzun’s handsome face stiffened. He thought about the mean girl whom he met. All he wanted was to find her again. He shook his head, “Shi mei Gong, don’t be silly. I can only look at that Cheng Xiao Xiao like a sister and nothing else. I don’t want anything else with her; it’s not possible!”

“What?”

Looking at the man in front of her who seemed to be a little bit different than before, Gong Zixuan blurted out what was on her mind, “Shi xiong Mo, you fell for a girl?”

“Ugh…” Mo Xuanzun, who had just recovered some, seemed nervous all of a sudden. Quickly he denied, “No! You are making stuff up! I did not fall for any girls. Don’t even joke about that!”

Mo Xuanzun’s behavior couldn’t have been more obvious!

Gong Zixuan tried as hard as she could to stop herself from laughing out loud. She didn’t expect him to meet a pretty girl on his first trip ever. This nerd would fall for someone? She was so curious, “Shi xiong Mo, is she pretty?”

“Yes, very pretty. But, she was so mean…”

Mo Xuanzun suddenly realized that he had spilled what was on his mind. He shut his mouth and stared at Gong Zixuan with his long and narrow eyes. A hint of frustration on his handsome face, he said unhappily, “You tricked me. That wasn’t very nice. Good girls don’t do things like that. You should be more aware of that in the future. Don’t forget, I am your shi xiong after all!”

“Hehe, shi xiong had fallen for a girl. It’s not a bad thing. Why didn’t you bring her back?” Gong Zixuan didn’t care that he was pulling rank with her but continued with her questioning.

“There’s no such thing!” Mo Xuanzun decided to end the subject and pretended that he didn’t say anything at all.

“Fine! Be that way then!”

Judging by his look, Gong Zixuan understood that it would be pointless to ask any more questions. If Mo Xuanzun didn’t want to share something, nobody would be able to get it out of him.

Shi xiong Mo, but you are still going to visit little sister Xiao Xiao at Dafeng?”

“Well…”

Thinking about her again, Mo Xuanzun felt very conflicted as he wasn’t able to calculate what kind of a character this Cheng Xiao Xiao was.  His eyesight fell upon the vine again. He did want to go meet her and figure out what exactly was this vine. Not only that it was odd, it was also very powerful. No ordinary weapons would be able to rival it.

But if he went to seek her out, it would cut into his time of searching out the other girl. He wanted to seek her out as soon as possible. The pretty, cute, and also mean girl. She was pretty even when she was angry…

Thinking about this, he spaced out again. He couldn’t help but recalled the time when he had planted a kiss on her lips. A hint of a smile appeared on his handsome face.

“Ugh…” Her shi xiong Mo in front of her had gone to his far away place again. And again with that crazed look. Gong Zixuan was all the more certain that he had fallen for a girl.

At this moment, Gong Zixuan had an awkward feeling. Even though she had always thought of him like a brother, but both her parents along with his master and shi mu all wanted to set the two of them up. She didn’t expect him to fall for someone before she did.

She couldn’t describe the feeling, but deep down she was happy for him. After all, it was so difficult to meet someone that one would like. Just like when she met that one person. Would she… ever see him again?

The two of them had both gone into their own worlds and time trickled by.

“Mistress, young master Mo, what are you two thinking about?” came a young, feminine voice that broke the tranquility inside the kiosk. The two looked up one after the other and saw a silhouette approaching then. It was Jun’er who had been playing with the mystical crane.

“You are back? Did the mystical crane let you ride on her?” smiled and asked Gong Zixuan.

Ever since Jun’er had seen the mystical crane, she has been asking it to carry her around. Unfortunately the was very prideful and looked down on anything other than it’s rightful owner, Mo Xuanzun, let alone Jun’er. Even though she had been whining for some odd ten years, that has yet to happen.

Miss Jun’er seemed to have developed a taste to mess around with the mystical crane. The more it ignored her, the more she messed around with it. Gong Zixuan, who was already used to seeing it, couldn’t help but make fun of her upon her return.

“Aiya, Mistress, you know how it is. The mystical crane is as silly as young master Mo!” Miss Jun’er expressed her discontent.

“Jun’er, you are wrong. Xiao He is Xiao He, I am me, we are certainly not the same. On top of that, why did you say Xiao He is as silly as me? How am I silly? Xiao He is the silly one. But you can’t say that in the future, otherwise, she’d ignore you even more, you will never be able to ride her in this lifetime. Jun’er, you need to take a page from shi mei Gong, you are too rambunctious, this is not helpful to your cultivations…..”

“Stop, stop, stop!”

Jun’er couldn’t handle him going on and on, she just wanted to shout to make him stop. Staring at the one who’d finally shut up, she said, “Young master Mo, I don’t care about anything else. I only have one question for you!”

“Oh? What is your question, Jun’er? I will for sure answer you if I know the answer to it.” Mo Xuanzun did not think too much about Jun’er’s rude behavior. He was already used to her when they grew up together.

“When are you traveling to Dafeng to visit Miss Cheng?” That’s the question she was most concerned about. In Jun’er mind, they are already a couple.

Mo Xuanzun was a bit surprised and asked, “You knew I am going to Dafeng also?”

“How is that a question? Of course young master Mo will go!” said Jun’er with a big smile.

“I….”

Mo Xuanzun was just about to say something else when Gong Zixuan, sitting next to him, said lightly, “Shi xiong Mo, since you aren’t that busy lately, you might as well make a trip to Dafeng. After all, I am quite curious to find out more about this jade vine. Can you please go find out for me?”
