Chapter 189.1

The city lord mansion gave Mo Shaoqing the feeling that it was very big, outrageously big.

Mo Shaoqing thought that it would not be difficult to find Lin Xiaoran. Unexpectedly, after walking around for a while, he saw dozens of houses, but most of them were unoccupied.

He had to try his best to find the largest and most magnificent ones along the way, thinking that maybe that was Lin Xiaoran’s residence.

But not long after, a voice suddenly came faintly, “This guest, my master welcomes you!”

Mo Shaoqing was shocked, and quickly looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a young girl standing more than ten meters away, looking at him from a distance.

Mo Shaoqing’s heart tightened, and he turned and ran away without even thinking. But before he could take a step, he heard the girl say, “This guest came uninvited, yet doesn’t he even want to see the host?”

Mo Shaoqing gritted his teeth, bowed, and cupped his hands at the girl, then said in a low voice, “I accidentally strayed into this place, I hope the girl will forgive me!”

Mo Shaoqing’s words were obviously nonsense. After all, this is the city lord mansion, surrounded by walls, how could he enter by mistake?

The girl didn’t seem to care. She just smiled lightly and said, “Then I wonder if this guest would like to meet the master?”

“But I don’t know who your master is?”

“My master’s surname is Feng, the lord of Wuling City!”

Mo Shaoqing couldn’t help but smile wryly upon hearing this. Now, it can be sure that he was caught.

In fact, Mo Shaoqing could also choose to turn around and run away.

He has traveled down the mountain for so many years. Regardless of his actual combat strength, at least he is confident that his ability to escape is good. He is very sure that the girl will not be able to catch him.

But since the other party put on an attitude of entertaining him, if he ran away, he would appear to be too narrow-minded.

He already lost face because he was caught trespassing, so he didn’t want to lose face even more.

So he nodded and said, “Then I would be disrespectful.”

Mo Shaoqing followed the girl and came to a courtyard not long after. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw that a table had been set up there, and there were several delicate dishes on the table. Behind the table are two people sitting, a man and a woman.

The girl stepped forward, bowed to the two of them, and said, “Master, master’s wife, the guest has been brought.”

Feng Shao smiled and said, “Qiushuang has worked hard. You should go and 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 opened his eyes wide, and said in a broken voice, “You…you are the daughter of the Pavilion Master, Lin Xiaoran?”

Lin Xiaoran nodded with a smile, and said, “Senior brother Shaoqing, I haven’t seen you for many years, but you are the same as before. I just don’t know if senior brother Shaoqing can still recognize me now.”

Mo Shaoqing shook his head and smiled wryly, “It’s really a girl’s transformation. If you didn’t say it yourself, I’m afraid I really wouldn’t recognize you.”

After speaking, Mo Shaoqing stepped forward generously and sat down 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, which means we are from the same family, please don’t be cautious.”

Before that, Mo Shaoqing was secretly hostile towards Feng Shao. After all, Feng Shao took away the white moonlight in his heart and was someone he regarded as his rival in love. But seeing Feng Shao’s magnanimity, he couldn’t help but secretly admire him.

If it were someone else, it would be impossible to treat an uninvited guest so politely.

Mo Shaoqing received this treatment possibly due to his status as a disciple of Yunjian Pavilion. But he knew in his heart that Feng Shao was more concerned with Lin Xiaoran’s face.

He just doesn’t know what Feng Shao thinks about him, after all, there are plenty of smiling tigers in this world.

While thinking about it, Lin Xiaoran said, “Senior brother Shaoqing has been down the mountain for eight years, right? I heard from Uncle Xing that senior brother Shaoqing went down the mountain to find a cultivation technique suitable for himself. I wonder if he has found it now?”

Mo Shaoqing replied, “I’m ashamed to say it, but I have wasted most of these eight years. Still, not long ago, I found a cultivation technique that suited me in a secret realm in Nanzhou. I planned to go back to Flying Star Hall to announce the good news to my master, but unexpectedly on the way back, I heard that junior sister Lin was going to have a big wedding, so I came to have a look.”

Something was strange.

After seeing Feng Shao and Lin Xiaoran, the previous hostility towards Feng Shao in Mo Shaoqing’s heart disappeared in an instant.

He may not have noticed it himself, but now he is thinking less about Lin Xiaoran being snatched by Feng Shao. Now, he is thinking about what is the origin of Feng Shao and whether he is worthy of Lin Xiaoran.

Lin Xiaoran said with a smile, “The wedding between my brother Shao and I will be held on the sixteenth day of this month. Senior brother Shaoqing should stay and see the two of us.”

Seeing Lin Xiaoran’s happy smile, Mo Shaoqing’s heart suddenly felt sour, and he thought of the ignorant little girl eight years ago.

Unexpectedly, before he knew it, that cute little girl who looked like a dumpling was going to marry and looked like a woman now.
