Mo Wushuang laughed and said to the pretty Hua Yueling, “Ling’er, you really have a gift of gabbing.”
“You are right! I am famed for having a venomous tongue.” Hua Yueling referred her modern identity, “You can ask Ping’er for that. The well-behaved daughter of an eminent family is just for effect. But as I have no fame at all, I don’t mind showing the public my real disposition.” Hua Yueling hurried to get back on track.
“Ling’er, you are badly hurt by the Third Prince.” Mo Wushuang felt a slice of worry for her and thought she was hurt by deep love.
“Ha! Wushuang, you do not know me at all. I can take all stuff up and also put it down with equal ease, especially for the emotions. I was haunted before. And I also had no idea why I was so infatuated with that man for as long as a year. But, now that I have put it down, I will stand up again. I believe the other half that can match me is waiting for me somewhere.” Hua Yueling was full of confidence and visions.
After a daze, Mo Wushuang served a cup of tea to Hua Yueling and said, “The Third Prince is not that bad, for just in his heart there is no room for another woman.”
“That’s right! I admit that I am not good enough, but everything has two sides. Since he loves that woman so much, he should be responsible for her, rather than marrying me out of the order of the Emperor and then insulting me. That kind of man doesn’t deserve my love. Well, stop here, I am here to appreciate the handsome man and the well-known sword, not to spoil my appetite.” Hua Yueling was enchanted by the tea and she praised instantly, “Nice tea.”
“This is the superior Biluochun (A traditional Chinese green tea with a history of more than 1000 years). If you like it, you can take some back.” Mo Wushuang answered with a polite smile.
“Great, thank you. Ye You, remember to bring some for me.” Hua Yueling ordered.
“Yes! My Lady!” Ye You twitched his lips and thought she was here for eating and taking.
“Ye You, only we three here, so don’t be so serious. Take it easy. Sit down and have a cup of tea.” Hua Yueling rolled her eyes to Ye You, who was standing behind her. Never had she treated him as a servant, but he was just that unlovable.
Ye You used to be a secret guard, but the past five years had witnessed his changed temper. With no refusal, he came up and sat down straight, but he was still a little uneasy when looking at Hua Yueling.
Mo Wusuang didn’t treat Ye You as a servant either. He had already poured him a cup of tea. This man highly praised by the Third Prince must be someone out of the ordinary.
“Wusuang, on the wall are all the well-known weapons? You’re not afraid of their being stolen?”
“My lady, what is beyond you is that Tianjiu Tower means the safest place for those weapons. There’s really no need to send someone to protect them.” Ye You glanced at Hua Yueling said coolly.
“It seems that brother Ye knows a lot about Tianjiu Tower.” Mo Wusuang smiled brightly.
“Tianjiu Tower is famous all over the world. It’s hard not to be informed.” Ye You smiled slightly.
“Don’t flatter each other anymore. You two really intrigue me to hit you.” Hua Yueling rolled her eyes in a sulk. She wanted to know the truth, not hear bragging.
“My lady, the Tianjiu Tower is the most famous tower for traps. If someone intrudes in gratuitously, he will never get out.” Ye You said the point.
“Uh, really? Why am I still sitting here ?” Hua Yueling said in surprise.
“I’m at home now. Do I need to be guarded against?” Mo Wusuang smiled and sipped the tea. His clear eyes were so charming.
“You are right. I know you are a master. Come on, take out the the Sword for Beauty and have a fight with me.” Hua Yueling stood up. She could’t wait to see the sword.
“Alright! Wait a minute...” Mo Wusuang left with a smile and turned to the corridor.
“Ye You, what do you think of his martial arts? Do I have a chance to win?” Hua Yueling asked Ye You at once stealthily.
“Well, I haven’t seen him fight with anyone. And Childe Mo’s aura was more introvert, so it was uneasy to detect. But his martial arts were acquired from Shaolin, and his skills should be very orthodox. Miss, you can...” Ye You’s eyes were full of cunning.
“All’s fair in war, right?” Hua Yueling smiled at him.
“I absolutely believe in your ability, My Lady. But the problem is the soft sword alone is not enough?” Ye You can’t figure out how a person without internal power could use a soft sword, which equaled to piss on life.
“Ha ha, I’ll show you how I use the soft sword in a second.” Hua Yueling snickered. And her smiled made Ye You frightened and he had no idea what she was going to do.
“Ye You, don’t you think Mo Wushuang is a little different ? He lives alone.” Asked Hua Yueling.
“No, he seems to have a sister.” As soon as Ye You had finished his words, he heard a woman’s laughter coming from the back window, and hurriedly went to have a close look.
At the Lantang River in the backyard on the Tianjiu Tower, a woman in white was playing on a swing between two willows. The hem of her white clothes was blowing in the wind, her long hair was as smooth as silk. What a fairy beauty. Clear laughter came from her, just like the sounds of nature.
Hua Yueling saw a white haired old man touching his white beard and looking at the woman not far away, but the distance kept her from seeing their faces clearly.
“Ling’er, This is the Sword for Beauty.” Mo Wushuang came over with a silver sword.
“Wushuang, that’s your sister?” Hua Yueling asked, but she knew that he was an orphan.
“Yeah! I picked her up, but she’s dumb.” Mo Wushuang’s words shocked Hua Yueling. She looked down in horror, for she had never thought that the woman with that clear laughter should be dumb? That was really unbelievable.
“She’s very happy now. And that’s Uncle Hong, who brought me up.” Said Mo Wushuang whose eyes revealed kindness and warmth.
“Aren’t you brought up by Master Zhichan, the abbot of Yongling Temple in the capital city?” Hua Yueling asked with confusion.
“Master is the one who picked me up, but Uncle Hong is the one who really brought me up.” Mo Wushuang said with a smile, then sent the Sword for Beauty to Hua Yueling and said, “Are you not curious about the Sword for Beauty?”
“Ha ha, I’m also curious about you. Wow! How beautiful!” Hua Yueling’s attention was dragged back, now she looked at this delicate sword carefully. She saw that the sword, even its scabbard, was as thin as a silkworm’s wing, looking like a silver belt. The dazzling ruby inlaid in the hilt of the sword was a real impressive touch for the whole sword and Hua Yueling was unwilling to move her eyes from it.
“This sword and its scabbard are both soft. It can be used as a girdle for women. This gem is the mechanism to untie the scabbard.” Mo Wushuang reminded her.
“Really? That suits me better, ha ha!” Hua Yueling immediately buckled the Sword for Beauty around her waist. It was just so suitable. She pressed the ruby with her small hand, and the soft sword suddenly returned to its original state, breaking away from her waist and becoming a weapon. It was really delicate.
“Ling’er, if you have the ability to take it, then it's yours.” Mo Wushuang was also itchy for he hadn’t fought for a long time.
Mo Wushuang laughed and said to the pretty Hua Yueling, “Ling’er, you really have a gift of gabbing.”
“You are right! I am famed for having a venomous tongue.” Hua Yueling referred her modern identity, “You can ask Ping’er for that. The well-behaved daughter of an eminent family is just for effect.
