The Legend of the Guardians of the East Gate
Ch. 18

That morning after three months for the first time Zhi Yuan came back to the Sky Sword Sect, that day was mid-autumn, the rain came only occasionally, the leaves began to fall, the, dusk looks more beautiful and the cold North begins to feel on the skin of ordinary humans.

it seemed that many Sect disciples were shrouding the notice board at the entrance of the sect, there were laughter and cheers of excitement from those people, several Yuan royal officials were seen back and forth from the building where the Patriarch of the Heaven Sword Sect was, and dozens of workers were starting to clean the roofs of the already dull buildings.

Zhi Yuan paid no heed to her, and continued his steps towards her room, some people stared at her while whispering, and those people laughed looking towards Zhi Yuan, who was looking at her, however, several girls his age were seen lowering his face when he was seen by Zhi Yuan.

Xiao Ling was already standing before her, a slightly lowered face considering that Zhi Yuan had already seen her with Liu Fang that night.

"you never came to the Sect, did you get sick?" asked Xiao Ling.

Zhi Yuan simply shook his head,

"Elder Zhang gave this many back assignments" said Zhi Yuan

Xiao Ling and Xu Guang Zhou already knew Elder Zhang, Zhi Yuan often told him that if he was Elder Zhang's personal servant, that was all they knew.

"Sister Zhi you look different, but have you seen the announcement at the gate of the sect? the event will be held in a month, all students in the realm of middle and upper swordsmen are allowed to try it," said Xiao Ling, who had unwittingly forgotten the events of the night.

"event?" zhi Yuan said not understanding but recalling the excitement of the few people at the gate earlier.

"it was the month of the selection of the master of the sword pair that was held once every 10 years, all the members of the sect would be present, even the invitation of some other sects would also come, this event would be held a whole month, this event would be, even the great sects will spend the winter in this city.This is such a festive and historic event, I hope to become the master of the Moon Sword hihihi" Xiao Ling said, her smile expands with her eyes sparkling with excitement.

Zhi Yuan nodded his face looking flat, making Xiao Ling's face become annoyed at having already so enthusiastically told about the event.

"haaiiisss, this delinquent boy," cried Xiao Ling.

The woman's hands started to clench and prepared to land her on Zhi Yuan's head, yet suddenly someone had already snatched the young man from before Xiao Ling.

"wait for Guang Zhou I'm not done with the boy, yet" cried Xiao Ling, but the two young men had already run quite a distance.

"is she really Zhi's sister? his skin looked so radiant," Xiao Ling murmured at the two young men who were beginning to shrink.

Xu Guang Zhou held Zhi Yuan's hand and pulled him and brought him towards the back of a fairly hidden building.

"Sister Zhi, take out that badge?" xu Guang Zhou said with a gasp of breath.

Zhi Yuan also adjusted his breathing and began to reach into the deep pocket of the Sect robes the second Elder gave him.

"sister Zhi I'm a man, I won't ask for what I've given you, but you must quickly dispose of it before the great woman kills you, I'm sure Ms. Li Xuyan is like her to say that you own this matchmaking badge" Xu Guang Zhou said in a trembling voice.

"this is it," Zhi Yuan said as he showed his badge to Xu Guang Zhou.

However it was too late, a fat woman was already beside them, and Xu Guang Zhou closed his eyes deeply, looking as though some people were already staring at them.

"So you're the man who's gonna be my husband?" said the fat lady while looking at Zhi Yuan's face deeply, and stepped around the young man.

Zhi Yuan frowned as he looked towards Xu Guang Zhou and then moved towards the fat woman who had already taken her badge and fused it with Zhi Yuan's, and the two fused perfectly.

"sister Zhou is she my future wife's girl?" asked Zhi Yuan who did not show his surprise at all.

"I'm Wu Huaran, and we've been betrothed, even though I know you're the son of a slave, and your face is a little weird, too, but you're quite tall and I like you because your skin is so clean" said the fat woman.

Xu Guang Zhou only realized that Zhi Yuan was now almost as tall as he was, even though their age gap was quite far, very different from three months ago.

"From now on I will always be near you," said the fat lady smiling with a red face, and pushed Xu Guang Zhou and stood beside Zhi Yuan.

Everyone smiled looking at the mannerisms of the woman, and some shook their heads.

"what's that supposed to be? ask Zhi Yuan who knows nothing about romance.

"of course, big brother Zhi how old are you?" ask the fat lady.

"13 years" said Zhi Yuan short.

"Sahhh. I'm 16 years old, but it's okay, you're my husband-to-be, even if you're younger, I'll still call you Zhi's sister" Wu Huaran said.

And the fat lady hugged Zhi Yuan's arm and brought him towards Zhi Yuan's room to study.

Now Zhi Yuan was more often with the fertile woman, and they looked familiar, even the woman had always kept Xiao Ling away while trying to get close to Zhi Yuan to talk about the night.
