“Mom, you’ve always knew where I stand on this issue. Besides, the onethat shi xiong Mo had his eyes on is sister Xiao Xiao. I think it’sgreat that the two of them got together. They make a good couple!” Gong Zixuanlooked to be very happy for the two of them.
“Oh, you…”
Mrs. Gong didn’t know what more to say. She shook her head and said,“Okay, up to you. But you are not getting any younger yourself and you can’tkeep pushing this off. If you don’t find someone that you like soon, mom isgoing to starting arranging betrothal for you. Mo Xuanzun was a good kid andthose from Temple of Divine Plans are known to be faithful. You have alreadymissed an opportunity, don’t be so stubborn and difficult next time.”1
Mrs. Gong was quite sad about not being able to have Mo Xuanzun as herson-in-law. What was she to do if her daughter wasn’t interested in him andthat Mo Xuanzun had found the love of his life? No matter how much she likethis kid, she couldn’t possibly go and kidnap him to be her son-in-law!
“Mom…” said the embarra.s.sed Gong Zixuan with her head lowered and cheeksblushed.
Looking at her daughter, she felt both doting and helpless. Finally shewaved her hand and said, “Alright, I will let you worry about it yourself!”
“Mom, I want to go visit sister Xiao Xiao and shi xiong Mo…” GongZixuan brought out her idea softly!
Mrs. Gong nodded at her daughter and said after a long while, “Alright,you go. You don’t have that many friends, I guess it can’t hurt for you to govisit them. Have them come and visit some time!”
“Yes, mom, I will be sure to invite sister Xiao Xiao over to meet you!”
Gong Zixuan was very happy after getting the permission from her mother.She immediately started on her way along with her handmaid, Jun-er.
Before she left, Mrs. Gong asked her daughter to first go pay a visit toTemple of Divine Plans. If the temple master and his wife happened to head outtoward Willow Village, then she should go with them.
After all, Mrs. Gong was worry about her daughter travelling alone.After all, anything could happen on a trip.
Gong Zixuan happily complied with her mother’s request. She didn’t mindtraveling with others. The only thing that mattered was her being able to golook for Cheng Xiao Xiao and Mo Xuanzun at Willow.
After her daughter had taken off, Mrs. Gong sat by herself for a long,long time. A few hours had pa.s.sed before she finally let out a long, somewhatsad sigh, as thought she was full of worries and helplessness.
A middle-aged couple sat in one of the halls inside Temple of DivinePlans. They were Mo Xuanzun’s master Mo Yuze and his wife Rong Jingshi and theywere reading the letter from their disciple Mo Xuanzun. After they finishedreading it, they exchanged a look and smiled bitterly at each other.
As expected, they were not able to control their precious disciple’sfate. They never expected that the girl he had his heart set on was in one ofthe Top Four Powers, but a girl among the general public.
Granted, from their disciple’s detailed description, this girl by thename of Cheng Xiao Xiao also wasn’t just a commoner. Even Mo Xuanzun was notsure what kind of life event she had encountered in the past; he just knew thatshe has a lot of secrets.
The most important part of all, she was a master beast tamer. This was astatus that was well respected not only among the general public, but it wasalso not something that even those of the Top Four Powers could easily castaside.
“Husband, what do you think? Should we make a trip to Willow Village andmeet with these two kids?” asked Mrs. Mo, Rong Jingshi.
Mo Yuze nodded gently and said, “Of course we should. If the kid MoXuanzun picked this girl, she must be extraordinary. You should know by nowthat even though the kid Xuanzun seems a little clueless sometimes, but he isactually extremely observant deep within. If he likes this girl enough to tellus about her, it was quite obvious that he has already decided to settle downwith her. We definitely should make a trip.”

Translator’s note:
1.Ugh. The mom made it sound like Gong Zixuan wasthe one who turned down the opportunity. There was no opportunity! Even if shewas fond of Mo Xuanzun, he still would have met and fell for Cheng Xiao Xiao.Gong Zixuan would just be heartbroken. WTF!
