Chapter 259.1

The New Year has arrived, and finally, its time for a holiday.

During the New Year period, both the imperial court and the common folk tacitly agreed not to disturb each other and to rest well.

Unless its an extremely urgent matter, everything else is left to be dealt with after the New Year.

Lin Beifan did the same, giving himself a break.

His actions were purely to pursue a sense of ritual, to enjoy the festive atmosphere of the New Year, and not at all to be lazy.

The Spring Festival is a day for family reunions. On this rare occasion, no matter how busy one is, everyone returns to their own homes, finds their parents, and celebrates the New Year together.

However, to everyones surprise, Yaoyao did not go back.

Lin Beifan was very puzzled: In previous years, you always went back to spend the New Year with your master. Why arent you going back this time?

While munching on fruit, Yaoyao replied gloomily, Dont mention it! If I go back, Ill just be nagged about getting married. Its so annoying! Thats why Id rather stay here than go back!

She hadnt even completed her task of winning over Lin Beifan this year. How could she face her master?

She would definitely get an earful of she went back.

Rather than that, it was better to stay here.

Lin Beifan exclaimed loudly, Thats too much!

Yaoyao, feeling validated, nodded and said, Exactly, my master is really too much. Pushing me to get married now when Im still so young? Whats the rush?

Lin Beifan shouted, Im talking about you! Youre the one whos too much!

Yaoyao was confused: How am I too much?

Lin Beifan stated emphatically, There are no parents without faults, but your master raised you as both a father and a mother, taught you martial arts, and treated you as if you were her own child! What a good person she is. Her urging you to marry is definitely for your own good. Not only do you not understand her, but you also defy her. How is this reasonable?

Yaoyao:

As the saying goes, there are three unfilial acts, and the worst is to have no descendants. This is a principle passed down through the ages that everyone must adhere to! If your master asks you to marry, you should marry. Otherwise, its unfilial!Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

Yaoyao:

Actually, after all is said and done, your master is urging you to marry because shes worried about who will take care of you when youre old. She has you, but who do you have?

Yaoyao:

Stop training. Its New Years, so take a good rest for a couple of days! Lin Beifans voice drifted faintly over.

Mo Yuyan stopped and sheathed her sword, then with a bitter smile and a cupped-fist salute, she said, Thank you for the reminder, senior, but I no longer have a home, nor do I have any relatives! During the New Year, seeing others reunite with their families only reminds me of my deceased brother! So, I can only distract myself from the pain by practicing my swordsmanship!

I see. I was inconsiderate, my apologies! Lin Beifan sighed.

Mo Yuyan shook her head: Senior, dont say that. The kindness youve shown me, I will never forget! If I were to say I have any relatives left in this world, it would probably only be you, senior!

In that case, Ill keep you company and make sure you have a proper New Year celebration!

Mo Yuyans eyes lit up: Senior, are you coming?

I cant come, but I can send some New Year goods over!

As soon as he finished speaking, a pair of Spring Festival couplets, a big red quilt, red clothes, firecrackers, fine wine and wine cups, and a table full of steaming hot food appeared in front of Mo Yuyan

All of it seemed to appear out of thin air.

Mo Yuyan was amazed in her heart.

Although it wasnt the first time she had seen such feats, she was astonished every time.

This was no longer martial arts; it was truly the work of immortals.

Senior is truly incredible.

When will I be able to do as senior does?

Enjoy it. The New Year should feel like the New Year! Lin Beifans cheerful voice came through.

Thank you, senior, then I wont be polite! Mo Yuyan gave a salute and then sat down to eat voraciously.

She felt that the food was exceptionally delicious and fragrant.
