452: Ha Qiqi

Ha Qiqi

Mo Xie sighed, truthfully, he can teach thousands of students in a single go, that is, if it's beneficial for his own clan or family, but to teach a group of students for another sect, it's somewhat bothersome.

But then, he thought of something; 'Maybe I can make them join the Ouyang clan too? Well, for the inner court disciples, it's out of the question, but for those that joined from the outer court and the recruited disciples, it's worth a try!'

He nodded his head: 'Yes, that's at least better, I should work with that mindset in mind.'

Mo Xie strode to the recruitment hall, but to his dismay, no one out of the thousands of recruiter is compatible with the arts, he also started scanning them for a person with any unique or great potential to groom to no avail as well.

"Maybe I found a few of them too quickly and started to think that talents are as many as the eye can see..." He's talking about his direct disciples, they are all rare talents, with unique potentials each as well.

Truthfully, since he managed to find them in such a short time, he thought that finding more in this vast continent will be easier.

But that's not really it, it's mere fate and coincidence that he had met these people, and it's their luck to have met him.

With nothing else to do, Mo Xie decided to stroll outside.

As usual, the Empire is buzzing with activities from here and there.

"Oh, Guest Elder Mo?" A female voice sounded.

Mo Xie looked back and saw the female disciple that had done the exam together with him.

"You're inner court disciple... Elder Ha?" Mo Xie remembered her, although she's not as talented as Zeqing and Zhao, she's still above average in terms of Mo Xie's standards.

Ha Qiqi nodded her head: "Oh, you still remember me?"

Mo Xie shook his head: "It's only been a few days, I may not be skilled in anything, but in my memory, I think I'm still quite remarkable."

Ha Qiqi smiled faintly: "Guest Elder Mo, where are you heading to?"

Mo Xie smiled: "Actually, nowhere, I'm casually strolling since I've nowhere to go."

"Oh, then, would you mind accompanying me?" Ha Qiqi smiled as she asked, pausing for a bit before continuing: "I'm actually heading to the Tu Clan for a mission."

Mo Xie was about to reject, but then, he remembered the Tu Clan's patriarch, he nodded his head: "Sure, since I've nothing to do, might as well come along."

"Nice!" Ha Qiqi chuckled as she nodded her head and led the way.

After a while of walking, Mo Xie asked: "What are you going to do in the Tu Clan for?"

Ha Qiqi looked at him like looking a little shocked: "I thought you're not the type of person to initiate a conversation!"

Mo Xie smiled: "True, I am not."

"But since I'm having a little time for myself in a very long while, I thought I could relax for a bit, try to be normal." Mo Xie smiled, his face expressing that of a serene mood.

Ha Qiqi looked at him for a while, it's like a person that had shouldered a lot of things finally having a few time to rest.

Her left lips lowered: "For people our age, shouldn't you be a person of no worry?"

Mo Xie smiled: "Which people are really of without worries?"

Ha Qiqi chuckled: "Well, for one, babies don't."

Mo Xie's eyes grew dim: "Not all of them."

Ha Qiqi seeing his expression grew darker didn't speak any further.

Then, a while later, she spoke: "The Tu Clan's eldest prince is actually my fiance."

She smiled as she spoke, she then continued: "Well, that's it, and, this is the first time I'm going to see him as well."

Mo Xie looked at her: "First time?"

"Un!" Ha Qiqi chuckled: "I am actually nervous as I was just betrothed to him by the clan."

"Oh." Mo Xie nodded.

Ha Qiqi continued: "Well, it's not like I'm against it, after all, they say a lot of great things about him, such as he's the general of the Empire, he's brave, he's also the number one expert of the younger generation."

"Tu J, at the young age of twenty, he became one of the pillars of the Empire, a Celestial Phenomenon ranked expert."

Mo Xie nodded his head: "Then, what's making you hesitate??"

Hearing his question, Ha Qiqi looked at Mo Xie in shock: "Hesitate?"

Mo Xie chuckled: "You can hide things from others, but I'm actually an expert."

Ha Qiqi chuckled: "It feels like I'm talking to either an old man or an old friend."

A few seconds of silence before she spoke: "I'm only hesitating because I think I'm not yet ready to be tied, to be chained to a place."

"To not be free to do anything I want."

Mo Xie chuckled: "Then, just say it upfront, if you won't say anything, nothing will change."

"It's marriage, and it should be something the two of you mutually hold."

"I may not be an expert, but I do have two wives."

"And it's actually nice to have your partner open up to you without anything holding you back." Mo Xie smiled as he spoke his words.

Ha Qiqi couldn't help but chuckle: "Well, since it's my first time meeting him, maybe I'll be able to open up after a few meetings?"

Mo Xie shrugged his shoulder: "Well, up to you really."

As the two of them spoke for a while, they reached their first destination.

A few thousands of experts can be seen as a carriage in the middle lays in wait.

Ha Qiqi looked at Mo Xie: "A, pardon me for introducing myself late, I'm the second princess of the West Dragon Core Empire, Ha Qiqi."

She then extended her hands: "Then, would you mind accompanying me further?"

Mo Xie smiled: "Sure." 

"Princess... this is..." At this time, an expert at celestial phenomenon rank approached the two of them. She's a lady who seemingly looks like thirty-year-old, but her features are beautiful.

There are also a dozen experts at Immortal Paragon rank behind her, all exceptional beauty as well.

Ha Qiqi smiled: "No worries, he's another elder of the sect, I asked him to escort me as well."

"An elder?" Looking at the youth in front of her, she couldn't help but doubt it.

Mo Xie chuckled and took out his token: "Here's my proof."

Seeing it, the expert immediately became shocked and bowed respectfully: "So, it's the sect's Grand Guest Elder."

The expert didn't dare put up any arrogance, a grand guest elder of the Imperial Sky Sect? It's equivalent to the 24 great elders of the Sect, and each of these 24 great elders are comparable to the princes of their Kingdom!

She immediately removed her wariness as she bowed.1

"Forgive this servant for my rudeness." 

Mo Xie waved his hand: "No worries. You're just doing your job."

"Thank you for your kindness in escorting our princess." The expert said, pausing for a bit, she continued: "I am Princess Qiqi's servant, Cis."

"Mo Xie, a grand guest elder of the Ouyang Clan and the Imperial Sky sect, Patriarch of the Mo Family." He introduced himself without leaving any details out.

Cis nodded her head: "Then, we'll escort you two to the Tu Clan, Princess."

"Yes, please." Ha Qiqi smiled, Cis and Mo Xie entered the carriage as the procession started, heading to the Tu Clan's location.
