The Refined Boy, Bai Moxue
In the courtyard of the Hehuan Sect, in Bai Moxue's room.
A pair of clean, soft, and delicate hands scooped some hot water from the Copper Basin and gently splashed it onto her exquisite face.
Bai Moxue washed her face, wiped the water droplets off her face with the towel beside her, and then looked at the person in the mirror.
The mirror reflected a gender-neutral Handsome Man, seemingly both male and female, possessing a beauty that defies description in words or paintings, along with an innate allure.
Bai Moxue stared at it for a long time, then sighed softly, "Why am I so beautiful?"
He sighed and put on the non-prescription Glasses that were placed beside him. Instantly, the Handsome Man in the mirror transformed into an ordinary-looking boy.
Then, he picked up the sword from the sword rack in the room, pushed open the door, and went out.
In the courtyard of the Hehuan Sect, a Mahjong table was set up, and four men sat on it, happily playing mahjong, facing the cardinal directions. The White Hair man among them was Bai Moxue's father, the strongest Cultivators in the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands in terms of combat power but the lowest in terms of cultivation level.
Sitting opposite him were his disciple, the retired First Immortal Emperor, and his two esteemed disciples, Shuhua and Mo Chen.
The four men played Mahjong, making a loud clattering sound as they played, their battle raging fiercely. Just as Bai Moxue walked up to them, his father Bai Qiuran, suddenly leaned over to look at his disciple, the First Immortal Emperor's, tiles and the illustration book.
"You son of a bitch, you're trying to act like a big shot, aren't you?"
He flashed an incredibly smug smile and then turned over his cards.
"All Simples! First!"
Hey!
The three veteran Immortal Emperor, First Immortal Emperor, Shuhua, and Mo Chen, simultaneously pushed aside their cards, angrily shouting, "Damn you, you one-card-breaking dog!"
Bai Moxue saw her father roll up his sleeves.
A minute later, the four old men sat back down at the table and began tidying up the cards. Except for Bai Qiuran, the other three had some bruises on their faces.
"Father."
Bai Moxue watched the whole thing from the start before finally asking, "You actually got up so early to start playing mahjong?"
His unspoken message was that he had already paid his dues last night, yet he was still able to get up so early. Incidentally, Bai Moxue knew that her father had gone into her birth mother's room last night.
"No."
Bai Qiuran chuckled and said, "I didn't sleep last night; the four of us have been fighting since last night."
After saying that, he and the First Immortal Emperor Bai Li exchanged a knowing glance, their eyes revealing a smug satisfaction at their successful scheme.
"Then good luck to you."
Bai Moxue said something to him, and then prepared to go out.
"Hey, Moxue, come here, come here."
Bai Qiuran waved to him, "Make us a cup of tea before you leave."
Bai Moxue had no choice but to obediently retreat, brew a cup of tea for her father, her senior brother, and her two juniors, and then walked out of her courtyard under the flattered gazes of Immortal Emperor Shuhua and Immortal Emperor Mo Chen.
Once outside the courtyard, he immediately became alert. He took out a scarf, gloves, Knitted Hat from his spatial storage, and even put on sunglasses over his non-prescription Glasses before sneaking out.
"Hey!"
A small, warm body suddenly hugged his leg, startling Bai Moxue.
He looked down and saw a little girl in a black Skirt hugging his leg and looking up at him.
"Brother Moxue."
"So it's Lan Zhi."
Bai Moxue breathed a sigh of relief.
"I thought she was some Demoness recently recruited by the Hehuan Sect."
Bai Lanzhi, the daughter of Bai Qiuran and Tang Ruowei, was the daughter of Bai Qiuran. After that earth-shattering final battle, Bai Qiuran finally accepted his apprentice's confession, married her, and they had a daughter.
As their children, Bai Moxue and Bai Xuxiang, who were already born at the time, were not surprised by this incident. In the words of the two little adults, they had already sensed that something was wrong.
Bai Lanzhi was also very well-behaved, but there was one problem.
Bai Moxue patted her younger sister's head and felt the sensation on her leg.
Tang Ruowei, Bai Moxue had heard from her parents that she had been troubled by her ancestral Steel Plate body shape. She later practiced the Fortune Body Forging Technique and endured a lot of torment that ordinary people could not bear before she finally broke free from the Restraint of fate.
Tragically, her daughter is now also Restraint by fate.
Bai Lanzhi, like her mother, had cultivated the Fortune Body Forging Technique since childhood, which gave her extremely fast physical movement speed. However, her external skills were not yet fully developed, and she could not freely change her physical body.
Bai Lanzhi snuggled against Bai Moxue's waist and asked, "Brother Moxue, where are you going? The Hehuan Sect is outside, and I remember you don't like going out."
"That's for sure. Every time I go out, I'm surrounded by my mother's disciples. Who would want to go out?"
Bai Moxue rubbed his younger sister's head helplessly. It was fortunate that he was powerful; otherwise, he would have been kidnapped and locked in the basement by the Demoness of the Hehuan Sect as soon as he stepped out the door.
Whether Bai Qiuran and Su Xiangxue will be able to find their son is another matter, but when they do, Bai Moxue's expression will definitely be one of utter disbelief.
"However, my sister recently said she's run into a little trouble and needs my help."
Bai Moxue patted Bai Lanzhi's head.
"She is, after all, our eldest sister; I can't just ignore her, can I?"
"Oh."
Bai Lanzhi nodded, but then said, "But I remember last time, Sister Xuxiang asked you to dress up as a woman and become the top courtesan in a brothel, which apparently caused a war between the two countries, right? This time she asked you for help, are you still willing to go?"
"..."
Bai Moxue pondered, "We're practically family, she wouldn't betray me twice in a row, would she?"
"Perhaps, Sister Xuxiang is right."
Bai Lanzhi laughed and said, "Didn't you hear Jiang Mother Lan say that she's currently at the age where the Celestial God Clan is going through a rebellious phase?"
After much deliberation, Bai Moxue finally said helplessly, "But I can't not go. You know my sister's personality. If I don't go and keep an eye on things, who knows what she might do? And more importantly, if I don't help her, she'll definitely hold a grudge. When she gets home, the first thing she'll do is beat me up..."
"Then you'd better pray for good luck."
Bai Lanzhi patted Bai Moxue's waist with a very mature air and said, "I'll go tell Mother Xiangxue and Jinyao's mother that you won't be staying at home recently."
"Um..."
Bai Moxue glanced around warily, and after confirming that no other members of the Hehuan Sect were around, she gave her younger sister a final instruction. "Oh, and remember to remind Mother Jinyao to prepare some nourishing medicinal food for Father."
"What's wrong?"
"Our dad played Mahjong with Senior Brother Li, Shuhua Mo Chen, and the others inside all night."
Bai Moxue wore a mysterious expression.
"That means my mom waited all night."
"Oh, I understand."
Bai Lanzhi waved to him and said, "Moxue."
"Goodbye."
Bai Moxue patted her younger sister's head one last time, then tightened her disguise and stealthily slipped out of the Hehuan Sect's headquarters using Escape Technique.
