Legend of the Moon Sword
The cold warehouse

Yan Yan was silent for a few seconds after hearing the words from Zhi Yuo's mouth. At first he thought that the boy was joking, he thought that skinny little boy had what strength to repay Lin Mei?. While Lin Mei was the butler here.

Yan Yan shook his head, "Don't say any more nonsense and stay here all night."

Zhi Yuo who heard that felt a burning feeling in his ears. With a low feeling he mumbled softly, "Am I that serene?".

Yan Yan chuckled softly, naturally he felt amused looking at Zhi Yuo's humiliated expression. The boy looked like a silly boy and liked to tell stories, behaving like a brave man. But in fact he looks timid and will run away when he meets his opponent.

His name is also children.

"It's late in the afternoon, I go first and take good care of yourself." Yan Yan Yan turned his body with a wave of his hand.

Zhi Yuo's mouth pursed, "Alright! Just go there!".

There was the sound of amused laughter from Yan Yan in front of there before he said goodbye and closed the door. The atmosphere of the room became silent after the sound of the closed door echoed.

Now there was only Zhi Yuo in there. His face is flat, with his black iris looking shiny when exposed to the afternoon sun. His body rested on a weathered window branch facing straight out. There was no interesting view when he looked out the window, because right in front there was a small fish pond that was dirty, rarely cleaned. There was no other way, there were only high walls at every corner signifying this was the boundary of the Gu family home courtyard.

"Until now I don't know even if I'm confused, why I can be reborn in this world. " Zhi Yuo said inwardly, trying to chat with himself.

He took the ripe peach from under his sleeve, ate it slowly. There was no dinner, he was sure he would not be fed dinner by the acting senior.

But now what he has in mind is not that, but he is thinking about his new life.

"Why didn't I just die? At least I can see their faces one last time..".

Zhi Yuo's throat was choked. Although he said that in his own heart, but somehow his heart even more sliced. It hurts.

Especially when Chang Yu's face flashed through his mind right then and there. The memory of when the ultimate fate of Chang Yu who was the victim of the demon cruelty of the underworld came back into the shadows, flashed past.

Zhi Yuo shook his head, "Conscious! Don't think about this!" He screamed to himself.

Frustrated by thinking of the people who fought with him to the end, Zhi Yuo also recalled his sword.

"My Moon Sword..."

The last time when he had been heavily defeated by the demon king of the underworld, he clearly remembered how the moon sword had been thrown from his hand and stuck onto one of the immortal stones there.

The moon sword lit up with a purplish color, but it instantly dimmed.

Zhi Yuo could only give up when he saw the shadows of his life all along. Beautiful memories with his sect family and friends before he died and became ashes.

But, when his body began to run out, the moon sword was still perfectly stuck standing upright on the rock. The color was as clear as newly forged iron, although patches of blood littered every inch of it.

"Wait, when I die, my sword must also be reduced to ashes. He has lost his owner, he should have disappeared too."

Zhi Yuo stroked his chin, with a face thinking he was trying to find an answer as to why the sword was still intact while the owner alone was dead.

"Is the sword specially designed for me?" Although it sounds like a confident person, but Zhi Yuo has an instinct that the sword is different from the others.

Starting at night, the sun had set from the west. The dark sky greets followed by the full moon. The sound of night insects began to rumble, sounding quite noisy at rest.

Zhi Yuo yawned widely, after finishing the whole peach in his hand he decided to sleep instead of thinking long.

"I'm sleepy, just went to sleep and found the answer tomorrow."

Zhi Yuo leaned his head against the window branch. His mind was still flying everywhere regarding his sword and new body.

"Sister, if you want to come to my dream then come and give me a hint.".

He yawned once more before closing his eyes, "Bothering...".

"Xie Jia,"

Xie Jia who was still doing her job turned her head when a voice called out to her. And it turned out that it was Yan Yan, the servant he was most familiar with.

Xie Jia smiled and greeted back, "What's wrong with Yan Yan?".

Yan Yan approached Xie Jia with a gentle smile, "Dine is ready, it's time for dinner for the servants."

Xie Jia smiled happily, just about to answer and follow Yan Yan to dinner, Lin Mei suddenly came there.

With a sardonic glance of his eyes he said curiously, "This child eats the very last! there's still a lot of work for him."

Xie Jia was stunned in shock, while Yan Yan lowered his head in fear when he heard those cynical words and suppressed it. Xie Jia could only nod in resignation, she continued to work on her work.

"Xie Jia, are you okay? Let me help you," Yan Yan was about to help him finish the job. But Xie Jia smiled sweetly at him, "No need, I can do it myself. Yan Yan Yan brother go to dinner."

He was about to persuade Xie Jia to leave the job secretly, but the action did not go smoothly when Lin Mei came up with a tray filled with a bowl of porridge and a glass of medicinal water.

"Give this to Mr. Gu, it's time for him to eat and take medicine." Lin Mei thrust the tray before Xie Jia.

"Oh, alright!" Xie Jia quickly replied and picked up the tray. After parting ways with the two, he rushed to Mr. Gu's room to give him food and medicine.

"What are you doing here? go there!" Lin Mei chased away Yan Yan who had been silent on the spot. Yan Yan Yan who heard the expulsion for himself was quick to leave and went from there to the servant clubhouse for dinner.

"Excuse me.." Xie Jia knocked on Master Gu's room door before he got an answer to enter.

"Come in, kid.." Master Gu's voice rang out from within, telling him to enter.

Xie Jia pushed the door open, peeked a little and entered slowly carrying a tray of porridge in her hand.

With an innocent smile he said, "Master Gu it's time for dinner and to take your medicine."

Master Gu who was still lying in his place immediately sat down, assisted by Xie Jia of course. Master Gu coughed for a while, then chuckled softly when he saw the innocent face of Xie Jia smiling at him with a spoon of porridge pointing to his mouth.

"I'll eat alone, you won't need a bribe." Mr. Gu took the bowl of porridge gently, starting to eat slowly as his body weakened.

Xie Jia occasionally helped him to gulp down his own food. After one of the fresh porridge had run out, Master Gu immediately drank the medicine. One glass he spent with one sip.

When the medicine had passed through his throat, a bitter taste burst forth from there. His body convulsed, cold sweat coming out from his forehead, this was a natural reaction every time he took his medicine. Xie Jia helped him to calm down, then before long he improved by himself.

Master Gu muttered tremblingly, "Fei. I miss you.."

Xie Jia fell silent, then said patiently, "Mrs Fei will be coming in a few more days, you have patience."

Hearing that Mr. Gu smiled, although with his eyes closed he could still feel happiness, "I'm sure he will definitely visit me."

"I have to prepare myself for tomorrow, there's a meeting of big business people in the village coming here. Can you help me prepare for the need?".

Xie Jia nodded, "It's our job."

Mr. Gu chuckled, "My condition is getting worse and worse, whether or not I will be useful in the future."

"You don't have to say such a thing, I beg you not to think much of a no-no. Rest until you get better." Xie Jia confirmed Master Gu's blanket, in order for him to fall asleep comfortably.

Mr. Gu smiled, "Good boy, thank you, you can go."

Xie Jia bowed, courteously apologizing before leaving Master Gu who was resting.

Zhi Yuo woke up somewhere. He threw his eyes here and there. This is no stranger place for him. His feet tread on the green grass, from a distance there is a magnificent wooden building that looks familiar to him.

"This...in the sect?"

He realized his existence at this time.

Zhi Yuo was flustered, patting his forehead in disbelief.

"Why... Why am I here?!".

" Yin Yuan,"

Zhi Yuo turned his head quickly, his face instantly felt frozen when he saw who had just called his name.

That figure, was a figure who since childhood took care of Zhi Yuo affectionately.

He looked at Zhi Yuo with a cold but hard to interpret look.

Zhi Yuo said softly and hesitated a little,

"Sister..?"
