Chapter 18 Reunion

  Muhong Yu pulled Xiao Xie through the streets and alleys of Yanjing City, her current mood was a bit tense, but also somewhat anticipated.

  "Tang An must not have expected me to enter the Heavenly Realm so quickly, right? Although my progress can't compare to his freakish martial arts cultivation, he should still be greatly surprised, shouldn't he? The Heavenly Realm is a realm that even my father hasn't reached." Mu Hongyu thought this and couldn't help but want to see Tang An soon. She pulled Xiao Xie along, constantly asking people where the gate of the Wu'an Marquis's estate was.

  As they walked, Xiao Xie suddenly shouted: "Xiao Mu, look over there. What a beautiful house..." Mu Hongyu raised her head and covered her mouth. Because she also saw the golden outline of the wall in the sunset in front of her, shining brightly, it was indeed breathtakingly beautiful.

  Xiao Xie's face was filled with longing as she asked Mu Hongyu, "Little Mu, is this really Xiao Tang An's house? It's so big and beautiful. Even more beautiful than the big house where our master lives. I bet there are many delicious things inside. Master never lets me into her room. I know master must be hiding many good things from me in there. Little Mu, do you think Xiao Tang An will be as stingy as master and not let me know?"

  Muhong Yu was still standing in the distance, looking incredulously at the massive Hou Mansion, while Xiao Xie couldn't hold back anymore and pulled Muhong Yu forward. But as soon as they reached the entrance, two guards blocked their way. In a cold tone, one of them asked, "Who dares to trespass on the Wu'an Marquis's mansion?"

  Xiao Ye looked at them curiously, especially the tiger and leopard patterns on their chests which caught Xiao Ye's attention: "Huh? The things on your chest are really beautiful. Can you give me one?"

  Those two guards heard this and their faces began to turn black, but seeing that the person in front of them was just a ten-year-old girl, they couldn't get angry, so they only furrowed their brows and looked at Mu Hongyu beside her. They were Tiger Leopard Army soldiers, and even on the rivers and lakes, they were considered top-notch experts, so naturally, they had discerning eyes. At a glance, they saw that Mu Hongyu was not ordinary. Her true energy circulated naturally, and her breathing was extremely skilled. With just one look, they could tell that this woman was definitely not an ordinary person, so they asked politely: "Miss, who are you? Do you have an invitation letter? Otherwise, this is the Hou Mansion's inner courtyard, and idle people are not allowed to enter."

  Just as Muhong Yu was about to respond, a small figure flashed into the mansion through the main gate. With a wave of her small fist at the two guards, she said: "You're really annoying. Where we want to go isn't up to you to control. Besides, from now on, this place is our home too. You'll also be under my command. Just like that big black bear on Mount Tian, as long as you listen obediently, I won't hit you."

  The two guards' faces changed, and they both saw the astonishment in each other's eyes. The little girl's movements just now, neither of them had seen clearly. Where did this girl come from, a monster?

  They thought carefully and heard the two words "Tianshan" in Xiaoxie's words, their hearts couldn't help but tense up, their first reaction was "Could it be that these two are enemies of Master Houxian from Tianshan Sect?"

  Tan An's sword is ruthless, this is well-known. As the guards of Tan An Fu, they naturally know that Tan An has some connection with Shu Shan Jian Pai. While admiring Tan An's bravery, they also can't help but sigh at this lord's ability to stir up trouble. Now, the avengers from Shu Shan haven't been settled yet, and those from Tian Shan have arrived?

  They were just about to draw their swords to block her, but then they suddenly remembered something. "Wait a minute, did that little girl say this place was going to be her home? Could it be that she's a relative of the Marquis? That's right, these past few days I've been hearing people mention that the Marquis has been muttering to himself about wanting to go home, wanting to go home. Could it be that this is the Marquis' younger sister coming to Yanjing to look for him?" They thought about this and although they were still uncertain, their expressions had already eased up a lot, and they asked: "May I ask, little miss, are you the Marquis' younger sister?"

  Xiao Xie was taken aback for a moment, and then shook his head like a rattle drum: "Sister? No way! Absolutely not!"

  Those two guards changed their expressions again, and the other ten or so guards slowly surrounded them. But then Xiao Xie said seriously: "It's not a sister! I want to be her older sister. I am her older sister, this is what Little Mu promised." As she spoke, Xiao Xie flashed back and grabbed Mu Hongyu, begging him: "Little Mu, quickly tell them that I am Xiao Tang'an's older sister. On Mount Tian, I was his younger martial sister, but once we left Mount Tian, I don't want to be a younger sister anymore... I must be an older sister this time!"

  "Huh?" The guards were stunned again, completely bewildered. What was going on? Judging from their appearance, they seemed to be familiar with the young master. But this conversation, how strange it was.

  Mo Hongyu smiled wryly at the guard and said, "Please inform him that I'm Mo Hongyu. The matter he promised me back then has been taken care of. Now I've come to see him, it's for him to fulfill his promise from back then. If he can't do it, then there's no need for us to meet!"

  Looking at Mu Hongyu's serious expression, the guard also knew that this person was indeed familiar with their own young master. If not, he would not have spoken so naturally. As gatekeepers, they still had discerning eyes and knew what to say to whom.

  "In that case, the two young ladies can sit for a while at the gatehouse, and I will immediately go to inform Master Hou."

  …………

  "Xiao Mu, do you think Xiao Tang An will pretend not to know you? Then we'll have to sleep on the streets... sleeping on the streets, with nothing to eat, how pitiful." Little Xie said, holding onto the pastry provided by the gatekeeper, her mouth stuffed full and round, as she spoke to Mu Hongyu.

  She felt a familiar aura rushing towards her, and she couldn't help but tense up, her face flushing slightly with anxiety.

  "He's here..."

  The little devil drank a cup of tea and let out a comfortable belch, asking "Who's here?"

  She hadn't finished asking when she suddenly saw a white shadow appear at the door.

  Tang An wore a white robe, with a sword hanging from his waist, its frosty blade gleaming. His face was slightly tender, but he had an indescribable air of elegance and refinement.

  Xiao Xie saw Tang An, and was suddenly surprised, with his mouth agape and his big eyes staring curiously at him. Then he suddenly asked Tang An: "Are you Xiao Tang An?"

  Then Little Evil jumped down from the stool with a "pop" and ran to Tang An's side, gesturing. Her head was only up to Tang An's waist.

  Xiao Ye suddenly became unhappy and shouted at Mu Hongyu: "Little Mu, you deceived me!!! He is Da Tang An... I want Little Tang An..."

  …………

  Tang An saw Mu Hongyu and his eyes, which had been cold as ice and snow since he comprehended the Killing Sword, suddenly felt a rare warmth.

  But at this moment, his eyes would make anyone else speechless with shock. Because the murderous intent that was as sharp as a demon god, Tianjian Tang An's eyes were now as gentle as willow branches swaying in the spring breeze.

  "Rainbow Jade, you've arrived..."

  Muhongyu's face was slightly red, like a ripe peach in summer, charming. Her eyes shone with bright light, and that light was full of tenderness.

  "Yes, I've come. I've come to find you. I promised you that once I entered the heavenly realm, I would come down the mountain to find you. It's been eight years now, and we haven't been apart for a single day. In these past six months, I often thought of you even when I was on the mountain."

  In a daze, Tang An suddenly remembered the scene of their first meeting eight years ago. Her appearance was still the same as eight years ago, her eyes were bright and black like lacquer, shining with a light that even the stars in the night sky couldn't compare to her beauty.

  He couldn't help but reveal his true feelings and said: "Actually, I've been thinking of you too. It's just that..."

  Muhongyu suddenly covered Tang An's mouth: "You don't need to say it, I understand. You know me just as I know you. I know that you absolutely don't have time to waste on these things, so I've never said anything. Because I know you understand my intentions. That's enough. Now, I've entered the heavenly realm again, from now on, my youth will be eternal, and in another ten years, no one will possibly know that I'm actually 8 years older than you."

  Tang An's eyes had already developed a few fine wrinkles, and his pupils were like a crescent moon. "Hehe... you're always so particular about these things. But don't worry. On a day like today, who dares to say anything against me? When will it be their turn to talk back? However, there is one thing that I owe you an apology for."

  "I promised someone I'd take her home." He saw Mu Hongyu's expression change, and his heart was tangled, but he still said: "However, if you don't like it, let me break my promise just this once."

  Muhongyu's face had lost its smile, because she had already guessed a bit. When a man says sorry to a woman, there usually aren't many possibilities.

  She knew that on June 6th, Tang An still had a duel with Wang Ruitu. None of these things are the time to say now. Moreover, she knew that Tang An always kept his promises, and if he failed to keep his word, he would be filled with boundless regret.

  At this moment, she changed her expression again and said with a tone of righteousness: "No need! You've never lied to me before, I believe you."

  But behind her back, Xiao Xie clearly saw Mu Hongyu clenching her fists with a crackling sound.

  Xiao Xie's eyes lit up with excitement as he asked, "Is this going to be a fight?"

  =========

  Headache, they wrote **how to solve the process of recognizing Da Fang and Er Fang? I feel like no matter how I write it, both sides will end up calling for a fight.

  I admit it, I really can't write emotional scenes. From now on, I'll just stick to writing about men. Bromance is the way to go...

  Furthermore, seek an approach that achieves both goals perfectly.

  Not twins, not twins...
