ch 351 – Convinced to Move; Misunderstandings and Broken Heart (1)
“Mom, you’ve always knew where I stand on this issue. Besides, the one that shi xiong Mo had his eyes on is sister Xiao Xiao. I think it’s great that the two of them got together. They make a good couple!” Gong Zixuan looked to be very happy for the two of them.
“Oh, you…”
Mrs. Gong didn’t know what more to say. She shook her head and said, “Okay, up to you. But you are not getting any younger yourself and you can’t keep pushing this off. If you don’t find someone that you like soon, mom is going to starting arranging betrothal for you. Mo Xuanzun was a good kid and those from Temple of Divine Plans are known to be faithful. You have already missed an opportunity, don’t be so stubborn and difficult next time.”1
Mrs. Gong was quite sad about not being able to have Mo Xuanzun as her son-in-law. What was she to do if her daughter wasn’t interested in him and that Mo Xuanzun had found the love of his life? No matter how much she like this kid, she couldn’t possibly go and kidnap him to be her son-in-law!
“Mom…” said the embarrassed Gong Zixuan with her head lowered and cheeks blushed.
Looking at her daughter, she felt both doting and helpless. Finally she waved her hand and said, “Alright, I will let you worry about it yourself!”
“Mom, I want to go visit sister Xiao Xiao and shi xiong Mo…” Gong Zixuan brought out her idea softly!
Mrs. Gong nodded at her daughter and said after a long while, “Alright, you go. You don’t have that many friends, I guess it can’t hurt for you to go visit them. Have them come and visit some time!”
“Yes, mom, I will be sure to invite sister Xiao Xiao over to meet you!”
Gong Zixuan was very happy after getting the permission from her mother. She immediately started on her way along with her handmaid, Jun-er.
Before she left, Mrs. Gong asked her daughter to first go pay a visit to Temple of Divine Plans. If the temple master and his wife happened to head out toward Willow Village, then she should go with them.
After all, Mrs. Gong was worry about her daughter travelling alone. After all, anything could happen on a trip.
Gong Zixuan happily complied with her mother’s request. She didn’t mind traveling with others. The only thing that mattered was her being able to go look for Cheng Xiao Xiao and Mo Xuanzun at Willow.
After her daughter had taken off, Mrs. Gong sat by herself for a long, long time. A few hours had passed before she finally let out a long, somewhat sad sigh, as thought she was full of worries and helplessness.
A middle-aged couple sat in one of the halls inside Temple of Divine Plans. They were Mo Xuanzun’s master Mo Yuze and his wife Rong Jingshi and they were reading the letter from their disciple Mo Xuanzun. After they finished reading it, they exchanged a look and smiled bitterly at each other.
As expected, they were not able to control their precious disciple’s fate. They never expected that the girl he had his heart set on was in one of the Top Four Powers, but a girl among the general public.
Granted, from their disciple’s detailed description, this girl by the name of Cheng Xiao Xiao also wasn’t just a commoner. Even Mo Xuanzun was not sure what kind of life event she had encountered in the past; he just knew that she has a lot of secrets.
The most important part of all, she was a master beast tamer. This was a status that was well respected not only among the general public, but it was also not something that even those of the Top Four Powers could easily cast aside.
“Husband, what do you think? Should we make a trip to Willow Village and meet with these two kids?” asked Mrs. Mo, Rong Jingshi.
Mo Yuze nodded gently and said, “Of course we should. If the kid Mo Xuanzun picked this girl, she must be extraordinary. You should know by now that even though the kid Xuanzun seems a little clueless sometimes, but he is actually extremely observant deep within. If he likes this girl enough to tell us about her, it was quite obvious that he has already decided to settle down with her. We definitely should make a trip.”

Translator’s note:
1. Ugh. The mom made it sound like Gong Zixuan was the one who turned down the opportunity. There was no opportunity! Even if she was fond of Mo Xuanzun, he still would have met and fell for Cheng Xiao Xiao. Gong Zixuan would just be heartbroken. WTF!
