The Rebirth of an Immortal Cultivator
Chapter 277: Promise with Mo Qian
Mo Lian stepped in and continued walking to the top floor following the directions from Hong Xi Jiang who asked her to go upstairs. Until he arrived at the front of the twin doors made of wood with a flower carving.
"I'm in." Mo Lian pushed the twin door with both hands.
There was an old man sitting cross-legged on a blue pillow. The man has long hair, eyebrows that are long enough to go under the eyes, a beard that is also long to the chest, wearing all-white clothing that is layered.
Even though he had never seen it in person, Mo Lian knew that the old man was Ancestor Hong, Hong Xi Jiang.
Then to the left of Hong Xi Jiang was a young woman sitting with her legs folded over on a blue pillow. Night blue hair, sparkling dark blue eyes, blushing red lips, wearing light green clothes and wearing a bun to decorate her hair.
The woman's strength was an Intermediate Heavenly Immortal, and she did not know who that woman was.
Mo Lian knelt down with her knees touching the floor and cupped her hands together. "Greetings, Mo Lian came saluting Ancestor Hong, Master Hong and ..." He doesn't know what to call it.
While smiling warmly at Mo Lian, the woman said, "You can call me Mother."
"Eh!?" Mo Lian tilted her head and involuntarily let out a sound. "ah! Sorry." He cupped his hands together when he realized his disrespectful actions.
The woman laughed a little with a very beautiful smile.
Hong Xi Jiang cleared his throat, then looked at Mo Lian. "I spoke to your father when he was this small." He raised his hands parallel to his head, which means waist when standing.
Mo Lian nodded her head as she already knew about it from her own father's story.
Hong Xi Jiang was silent for a moment as he turned to the front left looking at Hong Xi Ning who was sitting with his head bowed. Then looked back at Mo Lian. "At that time, I told him, if we could meet again. I will marry my daughter to her son, but if she has no son but a daughter, she will be a sister."
Mo Lian was still silent and gave a small nod, still not understanding what Hong Xi Jiang was saying. He can be said to be very slow if the problems related to romance, even though he has been dating.
"Aah!" Finally Mo Lian realized that he had been betrothed away, even before he was born in the world. "A-Are you serious?"
Hong Xi Jiang nodded his head firmly without any hesitation at all, as well as the woman next to him also nodded and smiled.
Mo Lian fell silent, but then she calmed herself down. "I am so grateful to have been married to the woman I love. But, I promised to finish off the Devil in the Hanzi Realm, I don't want to deny it ..."
"After all, what's being held from a man is his nonsense."
Hong Xi Jiang was stunned, then smiled lightly and his appearance changed, looking like a man of Mo Lian's age. "Alright, you do have the ability to go there, but I hope you break through to the Heavenly Immortal first before leaving."
Mo Lian cupped both her hands together. "Thank you ..."
Hong Xi Ning stood up from his seat, walked towards the tightly closed window and then opened it. "Tomorrow the day after tomorrow, I will announce the engagement of you both."
Although this greatly shocked Mo Lian, she tried to remain calm. "Master, are you okay with this? A Master is engaged to his own Disciple." He looked at Hong Xi Ning.
Hong Xi Ning looked up and turned to the left. "If my father wishes so—"
"I want to hear the answer from your heart, not your father." Mo Lian felt very guilty and could not accept that Hong Xi Ning would marry her just because of an arranged marriage, not because of the heart.
Hong Xi Ning paused for a moment not to answer him, but instead stood over to Mo Lian, then threw himself towards Mo Lian.
Mo Lian caught Hong Xi Ning in her arms, right in front of Hong Xi Jiang and Wang Yue Fei.
Hong Xi Ning looked up at Mo Lian's face. "Do I have to explain? When I met you, I already felt very familiar, and when I saw your memories, I often smiled to myself or cried ..."
Hong Xi Ning leaned her head against Mo Lian's chest. "Maybe in this life we are new to know, but in the previous life almost a thousand years. You're always there, always helping me ..."
"Married? I should have asked. You're so young, don't you mind marrying an old woman like me?"
"Enorm is just a number." Mo Lian looked down at Hong Xi Ning's face, and immediately softly kissed her forehead.
Hong Xi Jiang held onto the heads of Mo Lian and Hong Xi Ning, then separated the two. "I'm glad you two love each other, but you should know some manners. I'm still here and you're both unmarried, not even engaged yet. Don't do anything vulgar."
Mo Lian smiled awkwardly and felt guilty and ashamed at the same time. His feelings for 1000 years have been reciprocated, of course, making him very happy and happy.
Hong Xi Jiang turned his head to the right staring at Mo Lian. "Tomorrow I'll announce that you two are getting engaged. Now, you can come back."
Mo Lian cupped both her hands together. "Well, Yue Fu." Then he tilted his head looking at Wang Yue Fei. "I go first, Yue Mu."
"Brother brash, you're not married. Don't call me Father-in-law!" Hong Xi Jiang shouted as he kicked Mo Lian.
The kicked Mo Lian turned into fine smoke, which then disappeared while leaving a voice, "Ning'er, I go home first."
Hong Xi Jiang turned his head to look at the ceiling of the room while clenching his hands tightly. "Rancid boy."

The Can Qi Meiliafei
Mo Lian returned to her mother's study and there was Mo Fefei helping out with the job. There was also his father who checked the other documents, which seemed to be the mercenary documents he had made.
Still checking the documents on the table, Mo Qian said, "Have you met Old Man Hong?"
"It." Mo Lian nodded her head as she walked over to the sofa.
Then Mo Lian told what Hong Xi Jiang had said in Zhongjian Sect, all without exaggerating or reducing it.
Mo Qian simply nodded his head as if he had expected this. In contrast to Su Jingmei and Mo Fefei, moreover Mo Fefei who looked very sad and happy simultaneously.
"Will my sister get married?" Mo Fefei's tears were blocked in his eyelids.
Mo Lian also felt uncomfortable leaving her Little Sister whom she had been caring for for a dozen years. "Did Fefei not agree to it?" he asked as he rubbed Mo Fefei's tears that began to drip.
"Not that." Mo Fefei shook his head. "Fefei is glad Big Brother is getting married, just a little sad because Fefei still wants to indulge with Big Brother."
Mo Lian fell silent without speaking at all and chose to hug Mo Fefei, thus making her Little Sister fall asleep in her arms, even her clothes were also wet, not because of tears, but her saliva.
"Lian'er ..." Su Jingmei patted Mo Lian's left shoulder. "I'm glad you could marry the person you love, but what about Qin Nian and Yun Ning?"
Mo Lian turned a glance and lowered her head for quite a long time. He could not think of what to do for Qin Nian and Yun Ning, but since he was close enough to the two of them to make the two of them have feelings for him, he arguably had to reciprocate.
"I don't know, I'll consult Ancestor Hong, Aunt Wang and Ning'er."
Su Jingmei let out a long breath while rubbing Mo Lian's head. "The decision is in your hands, and I will support whatever your decision is."
Mo Lian simply nodded and remained silent, not replying to her mother's words, while continuing to tightly hug Mo Fefei who was on her lap.
