Mocheng is famous throughout the country for producing raw materials for metal and stone, and its citizens have been digging and processing minerals for generations. Its business has been going on for a long time. The mines here were rich in minerals, such as iron, copper, and even silver. Among them, Mo Bao was made from the best raw materials, hence the name Mo City. Ordinary residents split open mountains to collect ores, while large families used large amounts of manpower and materials to process these raw materials, eventually forming goods sold far and wide. Mo City was located in a remote area. The entire city was built on lofty mountains and lofty ridges, making it difficult to attack. The majority of the residents here were of the Miao Family. As a result, the people of Mo City were fierce and aggressive, which was quite different from the customs of the Chinese people in Central Plains. Miao Liuer was the daughter of the City Lord of Mo City, the largest family in the city.

On this day, seeing his daughter suddenly return home learning with an impressive man beside her, the Old City Lord had already guessed eighty percent of the score. Thus, he set up a feast to entertain the guests. After eating that night, Hua Yunshu excused himself and went back to his room to rest first. Miao Liuer thought that his body was not fully recovered yet, so he sent him back. When the old mayor saw how concerned his daughter was with him, he couldn't help but feel unsettled. Her unruly daughter had grown up after travelling for a long time, and now she actually understood how to love someone. After Miao Liuer settled Hua Yunshu down, he returned to the front hall and pulled his father into the study.

"My daughter has good taste indeed. She has a magnificent appearance. She's worthy of being the son-in-law of my Miao Family." The old City Lord went straight to the point and spoke honestly about his good impression of Hua Yunshu.

"Great daddy!" I was afraid that you would blame your daughter for being reckless! " Miao Liuer was overjoyed. He leaned on his father happily and sat down.

"Hahaha!" A wise son cannot be a father. Liu'er, since you were young, you have been unruly and willful. Father sent you away to study, hoping that you could learn all of your skills so that you wouldn't be bullied in the future. I didn't expect that before learning anything, you would bring back a son-in-law for dad. Good! Very good! "Hahaha!" City Lord Miao was a straightforward person. He knew that his daughter had been raised in luxury. He knew that for a long time, he would not be able to separate himself from the world. Thus, he sent her to Penglai to study. The man who came with his daughter had a strong aura surrounding him despite his young appearance. He must be an otherworldly expert who sought the dao of the world. If his daughter could entrust this person to her, she would feel relieved.

This Young Master Hua is not an ordinary person. He is a master of cultivation at Penglai Island." "Her ability is outstanding. Her daughter has gone out to study under a master. She has helped a lot." It was obvious that this young miss admired Hua Yunshu, and her tone carried a hint of pride.

"Daddy knows how ordinary people can make Liu'er fall in love. Since it's the Immortal God from the Immortal Island, I can put my mind at ease. "Since he's in the courtyard now, it's better to hurry than to rush in. Tomorrow, father will take charge of the marriage for you!"

"Thank you, father!" With the City Lord's support, Miao Liuer was relieved.

After the plan was made, he immediately ordered the steward to prepare some festive items. The Miao people were good at doing business all over the world, but the city was far from the Central Plains, and the customs were very different from those of the Han people. As long as his daughter was interested in a man, his father and mother would advocate marriage to welcome the groom, without the media and without any gifts. It was similar to the original Chinese mother's social customs.

The reason why Hua Yunshu came here this time to recuperate was actually to visit his sister's whereabouts. The excuse of recuperating during the dinner room was to sneak into the Mo City and investigate when no one was around. Hua Yunshu dressed up a little and started to stroll around the market in a swagger. Unfortunately, the door to his room was completely closed, making him look like an empty city. As it turned out, the residents of Mo City were mainly of the Miao race, and the people here lived the ancient life of a rising sun, with very few pedestrians in the streets after dinner. From the east side of the city to the west side, there was not a single person in sight. He could only see a few dim lights in the distance.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a hotel where business travel from Mo City often took a rest. The name of the hotel was: Moomen Inn. It was easy to tell from the clothes that the man in the shop was Chinese. Hua Yunshu went forward to strike up a conversation, and the waiter's attitude was arrogant, like he wanted to ignore it. He looked at the sparse human figures in the restaurant, only to see a pair of Chinese merchants eating wine and chatting under the lights. Listening to them talk about how they were only earning some money to go home and get married and have some children, and even more so without any clues of their little sister, Hua Yunshu felt disappointed and could only return.

The front yard was bustling with activity, but the back yard was completely silent. Hua Yunshu had originally gone out sneakily, but now that he was back, he went straight back to his room, completely unaware of the busy situation his family was in. Lying in bed, thinking, he decided to leave the next day and continue his search for clues to his sister's whereabouts.

The Miao Family's backyard was made up of two parts. Their own bedroom was located in the east. It was luxurious, exquisite, and extremely grand. On the west side was a guest room used by important guests. It was already early summer in May, and when the next day came the sky was a little brighter. The Miao Family all woke up early, the City Lord was busy offering sacrifices to his ancestors to prepare the ceremony, Miao Liuer had already washed up and was waiting for the auspicious time to come, the rest of the servants had called the men and women to carry the fruits and gifts. As soon as the time came, the sound of a long copper clanging could be heard from the bell tower of Mo City. The Miao Family immediately turned into a sea of happiness. First, firecrackers crackled, and festive fireworks were set off in the front gate, front yard, and back yard. Then, the guard of honor who had been beating gongs and beating drums led Miao Liuer to the guest room, along with his servants, emcee, and mages. Hua Yunshu had already noticed the abnormality long ago, he pushed open the door and took a look, only to see that outside the guest room, a big red lantern ribbon had been hung up at some point, probably because a servant had hung it up while he was out last night. In the blink of an eye, the wedding procession arrived at the front of the stairs, causing Hua Yunshu's scalp to go numb. The host walked up and announced loudly: "The auspicious hour has arrived. Miao Liuer will marry the groom!" Miao Liuer slowly walked out of the bridal sedan under the support of the servant. He received a red rod from the host, which was tied with a ribbon. Miao Liuer picked one up himself, extended it in front of Hua Yunshu, and indicated that he should take the other one with him to the palanquin. Female marriage was a custom unique to the Miao. The ceremony of bringing the groom home with a red stick was called "Du", which symbolized that the two of them would be connected like the ribbons on the stick.

Hua Yunshu turned and left, but the Miao Family had a lot of business, their guest rooms were already surrounded by the crowd. Originally, Miao Liuer knew in his heart that Hua Yunshu did not have him in her heart, so she had deliberately planned to make this trip to Mo City from the very beginning. In order to force Hua Yunshu to marry him, he had instructed the butler to send some henchmen to lie in wait for Hua Yunshu to escape. Hua Yunshu was stopped before he could even leave the courtyard. How could these people possibly be considered enemies with Hua Yunshu? However, in front of everyone's eyes, it did not harm the innocent, so he could only turn and go back. Miao Liuer was humiliated in public and shouted angrily, "Hua Yunshu, if you dare leave today, I will die here!"
