Chapter 65: The Beauty Behind the Wall Smiles

  ?

  "Where are you going?" Mo Qingchen looked at Mo Ningrou's excited face and asked aloud.

  Mo Ning's soft and mysterious smile said: "Just follow me."

  It's rare to see Mo Ning Rong selling guan zi, with a hint of a smile at the corner of her mouth. She allowed herself to be pulled by Mo Qing Chen through one moon gate after another, until they finally stopped in front of a red wall and green willows.

  "What are you doing here?" Mo Qingchen asked in a daze, the super route-ignorant her was now unsure which courtyard of the Mo Manor she was in.

  Mo Ning Rou reached out and pinched Mo Qing Chen's face, saying: "Sixteen sister! These past two years you've been busy cultivating every day, I think you've become a bit muddled from cultivation. You didn't see such an eye-catching thing?"

  Mo Jingyuan saw Mo Qingchen's helpless expression and begged for mercy again, looking towards the green willow trees swaying in the distance.

  It wasn't until then that I discovered there were two swings hanging side by side from the willow tree, and what was even more thoughtful was that on those two thick hemp ropes, soft red silk was wrapped around them, with big white jasmine flowers inserted in the seams as decorations.

  "Sixteen sisters, do you know what this is?" Mo Ning Rou asked with a smiling face.

  "Swing." Mo Qingchen said casually.

  Mo Ningjiao's eyes widened in surprise, "Sixteen sister, you actually know this? I only saw it the day before yesterday when I went to the front yard. Several maids were playing with it, and I was itching to try it out. I asked them what it was, and they told me it was a swing. When I came back, I asked Qingqin to make two for me."

  Lü Qin is Mo Ning Ruo's personal maid. Over the past two years, due to Mo Ning Ruo and Mo Qing Chen's relationship, she has become extremely close with Yun Xi.

  Mo Qingchen looked at Mo Ningrou's enthusiastic appearance and felt a little pity in his heart.

  People are indeed those who have to give up in order to gain, with a spiritual root, they started practicing from an early age. Some ordinary children's usual playthings, probably haven't even played with them, let alone the elders thinking of making a swing for them.

  But after all, what they got was more than what they gave up, thinking about it this way. They should be content with that.

  Mò Qīngchén thought for a moment in her heart and then smiled, saying: "Before I came to the Mò family, I used to play with my little friends often, so that's why Qīngchén recognized me."

  "Sixteen sisters, you know so much, but unfortunately in our clan, those ordinary children see us and hide far away, I don't even know what they're playing with." Mo Jingrou sighed softly.

  "Alright, let's not think about that anymore. When we grow up a bit more, we can go on missions like Fourteenth Uncle and Seventh Brother, and then we'll naturally see many things. Fourteenth Sister, your swing is so beautifully made, Qingchen can't wait to try it out."

  "Uh-huh." Mo Ning Ruo also smiled and pulled Mo Qing Chen, the two walked to the willow tree at the corner of the wall, each got on a swing.

  Mo Ningyuan gently swayed on the swing. She turned her head and looked at Mo Qingchen, saying: "Sixteen sister, I still envy Jiu Jie so much. She's only twelve years old, but she started going out on missions two years ago. If I don't break through to the fifth layer of Qi Refining early, I'll have to wait until I'm fifteen. Even then, if my cultivation is too low, I'm afraid Father and Mother won't agree to let me go."

  Mo Ning Rou is slightly older than Mo Qing Chen, and now she has also reached the peak of the second layer of Qi Refining. At this age, her cultivation is not bad, but if she wants to break through to the fifth layer of Qi Refining before the age of 15, it will be an extremely difficult thing.

  Mo Qing dust comforted: "Don't worry, Fourteen sister will work hard later, there is definitely hope. Look at Seventh brother, he has the worst of the five spiritual roots, but now at seventeen years old, he has already reached the fifth layer of Qi Refining."

  Unexpectedly, Mo Ning Rou's face turned worried and she said softly: "Sixteen sister, tenth sister is also at the fifth level of Qi refining now. From now on, you don't have to come to Chaoyang Hall anymore. You and Hu Tou are both at the third level of Qi refining, who knows when you'll leave early too? At that time, won't it be just me left alone? And twelve brother and thirteen brother, I also can't play with them."

  Originally, Xiao Yatou was worried about this. Mo Qingchen smiled and said, "Fourteenth sister, my talent is only four spiritual roots, not as good as yours. My cultivation is faster than yours because I won the training quota from Eleventh Sister in the past two years and took more elixirs than you. In the future, Eleventh Sister will definitely not make a bet with me again. Who knows, maybe you'll leave Chao Yang Hall earlier than me?"

  Most cultivators who travel outside are in the middle or late stages of Qi Refining. Generally, by the later stage, even ordinary people wouldn't dare to provoke them. Those in the middle stage are mainstream, but if someone is in the early stage of Qi Refining and wandering around alone outside, they would be a target for many people.

  So the Mo family also has a rule, regardless of age, after cultivating to the fifth layer, you can go out on missions or hunt and kill demon beasts to earn spirit stones. However, if you are over 15 years old and your cultivation is still not at the middle stage of Qi Refining, then you do not have the qualifications to go out alone. You can either continue to cultivate in the manor, but you will not receive as good treatment as in the Chaoyang Hall, or you can form a group with other Qi Refining stage cultivators from the clan and be allowed to go out.

  No matter what, for children who have been studying hard in their families since childhood, fifteen is a long-awaited age.

  Mo Ning Ruo's nature is gentle and kind, but in fact, she doesn't take her cultivation too seriously. Today's worries are also because she's afraid that Tiger Head and Mo Qingchen will leave her behind. Now that she's heard Mo Qingchen's reassurance, she opens up her mind and smiles: "As long as you don't leave me behind, it's fine. If I still can't go out on my own when I'm 15, you'll have to take me with you."

  "Ah." Mo Qing responded crisply, Mo Ning Rou was a three-spirit-rooted person after all. Even if she didn't break through to the fifth layer of Qi Refining before the age of fifteen, it shouldn't be a problem even if it took some more time afterwards.

  If it's like this and I'm stuck in Mo Manor all the time, with limited resources for cultivation, then it would be a pity.

  "Sixteen sisters, let's see who can swing higher!" Mo Ning Rou completely relaxed and laughed.

  Mo Qingchen smiled and said: "If you want to compare, then compare. Mo Qingchen has played before, how can I lose to you?"

  Then I saw two little girls, one in pink and the other in white, both with double buns, swinging high on the swing, as if they could fly into the sky at any moment.

  "Sixteen sister, look quickly, look quickly, can actually see the street!" Mo Ning Rou exclaimed excitedly.

  Mo Qingchen was also very happy. Except for the trip to Hua Fu a few days ago, she had not had the chance to go out and stroll around in so long. This corner was actually unknown which part of Mo Fu it was, and unexpectedly outside the wall was the street. Borrowing the opportunity to swing on the swing, take a look, it's also good.

  Outside the red wall, on the streets in the distance, shops lined up on both sides, all with eye-catching signs of various colors, looking ancient and elegant. People and vendors flowed endlessly, selling sugar gourds, carrying poles to sell hair ribbons and cosmetics, sugar blowers shuttling among them, occasionally young women hurriedly walked by with their heads down, and the young men by the roadside would blow clear whistles.

  Although the distance is still far, with Mo Qingchen and Mo Ningruo's hearing ability, they can hear various sounds, although not very clear, but that kind of lively prosperity and bustle makes them feel great.

  Mo Qingchen had never seen such a scene in the small mountain village before, and at this time, he unknowingly swung the swing higher and higher, watching with relish.

  "Hehe, Sixteen sister, Jing Rou actually found such a great place, can see such an interesting scene." Mo Jing Rou was like a bird out of its cage, smiling and laughing, her silvery laughter drifting further and further away.

  "The willow branches are sparse, the fragrance of grass is everywhere, the swing is inside the wall, and the road is outside. Outside the wall, passersby; inside the wall, a beautiful woman smiles......" Unbeknownst to Mo Qingchen and the other person, in a corner of the street, a young scholar stood with a worn-out fan, gazing at the two people floating high in the air, and slowly said.

  Another young man patted Li on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother Li, you're reciting those melancholy poems again, aren't you?"

  "What a sour poem! I wrote it just to fit the scene, you commoner don't understand!" The scholar shook his head, his eyes still gazing in the direction of the red wall.

  Another young man followed the scholar's gaze and saw that within the high red wall, suddenly two figures in pink and white appeared floating high in the air, their skirts fluttering, their hairpins waving, as if they were immortals, only to disappear suddenly, and then reappear in the blink of an eye.

  It turned out that two little girls were playing on the swing.

  The young man chuckled and said, "Brother Li, Brother Li, the beauty is indeed a beauty, but isn't she still a bit too young? Bookworms also like to read:"

  The scholar glanced at him and said: "As I said, you are a common man. What I lament is the atmosphere. Besides, beautiful people will always grow up anyway."

  At this time another tall and sturdy young man said: "I say, you two are really bold, don't even look at what kind of place that is, dare to comment on it."

  "What did you mean by that, Brother Zhang?" another young man asked.

  A tall and sturdy young man glanced at the two of them and said, "You don't know that this is the Mo Manor, do you? It's said that there are immortals living inside."

  Luoyang City is a city where monks and ordinary people coexist, the four major families occupy a large area in the city. Although they rarely appear in front of ordinary people, worldly affairs are handled by ordinary people from the clan. However, over the years, many ordinary people have seen them, occasionally seeing their magical powers, thinking they are immortals, passing it down through word of mouth, most people believe that immortals exist.

  However, Luoyang City is still dominated by the Xiuzhen family, and they are not like some places where Xiuzhen sects regularly recruit people with spiritual roots in their local areas to replenish fresh blood. Therefore, there are also many people in Luoyang City who do not believe in this.

  The young scholar smiled and said: "You don't talk about strange powers and gods, Brother Zhang, you actually believe in those absurd rumors?"

  That tall and sturdy young man's face turned red with anger, saying: "Brother Li, how can you say that? In the Mo Manor, there really are immortals, my father told me personally!"

  The young man's father ran a martial arts school, and in his youth, he had once accidentally seen a certain Mo family monk perform magic, from then on, he couldn't forget it, and naturally passed on quite a bit to his son.

  "Seeing is believing, but I don't believe it anyway." The scholar shook his head and looked in that direction again, suddenly changing color.

  Then I saw that girl in pink, when she swung high up in the air, her hand suddenly let go of the red silk strip, and her body fell straight down outside the red wall.
