When Li Mo opened his eyes again!
A pretty face appeared before him. Seeing him awake, the worry on her face was gone, replaced by a sweet smile!
"You're awake!
You scared me to death!
Father said you overused yourself and would be fine after a day of rest!
But it's been three days and you've only just woken up!
Wait, I'll call father and the others!
A familiar voice came!
Li Mo felt a sense of closeness!
He grabbed Liu Yan's hand out of reflex!
A soft, boneless feeling assaulted his heart!
Liu Yan blushed from Li Mo's sudden action. She lowered her head shyly, but didn't struggle!
Noticing Liu Yan's change, Li Mo felt he was too rash and let go!
"D-don't go. I'm fine. Let uncle Liu and the others rest!"
"En!
I'll go get you something to eat … "
Liu Yan was as sweet as a daughter-in-law, blushing as she ran out of Li Mo's room!
"It's over!
It's over!
There's no way to explain this!
Li Mo's heart was filled with remorse.
Liu Yan returned with a bowl of porridge, followed by Liu Changhe and the two elders.
"Little Mo!
How are you?
Have you recovered a bit?
It's all thanks to you this time!
Fanyang County would've been captured!
You've done a great job! "
"Uncle Liu!
Elders, why are you here? "Li Mo struggled to get up!
"Hey!
Don't move, kid. You're exhausted!
Rest well and don't stand on ceremony with us! "Second elder stopped Li Mo!
"Yeah!
Little Mo, rest well and don't move! "Third elder Liu Shixiao said with concern.
"Uncle Liu, elders, I'm not that weak!
Don't you see I'm fine?
Don't worry about me!
This time, they were able to force the enemy to retreat because of the Liu Family's blood-soaked struggle!
Uncle Liu's words are too harsh! "
"Our Liu clan has always been fair in rewards and punishments. Kid, you played a decisive role. I've already discussed with your master and Changhe that you must be rewarded!"
"Yeah, little Mo, second elder's words are exactly what we're thinking. Don't decline!
After you recover, we will hold a meeting of the Liu Family and reward the meritorious officials in this battle! "
"Uncle Liu, I …"
"Don't talk about me anymore. It's settled. You should rest well!
We will be leaving! "Liu Changhe didn't wait for Li Mo's reply and left with the two elders.
"Drink the porridge!
Hero! "Liu Yan brought the bowl to Li Mo with a smile.
How could she not be happy when the man in her heart received the acknowledgment of her family?
"Even you are laughing at me!"
Li Mo swallowed the congee in one gulp!
"Is it hot?
It's hot! "
"Ah!
Why didn't you say so earlier?
Cough … "
The next day, the door opened and Liu Changhe brought two extraordinary youths into Li Mo's room!
Li Mo ate several bowls of porridge last night then sat cross-legged to recover his dried up qi!
His mental state was much better!
He was sitting on the bed, wiping the sword in his hand.
"Morning, Uncle Liu!
And these two are … "
"Liu Ming, Liu Jing, this is Li Mo. Didn't you want to see him the moment you returned?"
"Little Mo, these two are Second Elder's grandson, Liu Ming and Third Elder's grandson, Liu Jing. They have been cultivating with their master in Yuhua State's Highness' residence!
His Highness ordered them to bring reinforcements to help us!
As soon as I came back, I heard about your performance on the battlefield yesterday. That's why I brought you here! "
"Alright!
You youngsters should chat more!
I have business to attend to so I'll be on my way! "
Liu Ming and Liu Jing rushed to Li Mo's side when Liu Changhe left.
"Hey!
I say, bro.
I heard you were amazing yesterday!
Can you tell us more about it?
Liu Ming asked arrogantly.
"Yeah!
Li Mo, hurry up and tell us. We heard the guards talking about yesterday's battle as soon as we entered the city. They said you were invincible!
How did you do it? Tell us! "Liu Jing was curious but his tone was more polite than Liu Ming's.
They thought Li Mo's power was incredible!
But when he saw Li Mo, he was just a beginner martial warrior, weaker than him!
They couldn't help but doubt the rumors!
"What's there to say?
Plus, without everyone's hard work, we couldn't have defeated the enemy. I only did what I was supposed to do. There's nothing to say! "
Li Mo stood up and walked out. He didn't say much to the two because he saw the disdain in Liu Ming's eyes.
'Since you don't believe me and still ask me, you clearly want to humiliate me!'
"Hey!
Why are you leaving when you haven't said anything?
Liu Jing chased after him and blocked his way!
"I heard that you were taken in by my uncle because you saved Yan 'er!"
Liu Ming also walked out of his room and asked.
"So what?"
"Nothing. I just want you to know your place. This is the Liu clan!"
When Liu Ming was at the Prince's Residence, he had heard that Liu Changhe had taken in a young man and that the young man was his daughter's savior.
Then he was taken in as a disciple by the grand elder. This made the narrow-minded and calculating Liu Ming realize a serious problem!
That was, if Liu Changhe abdicated in the future, would there be a change in his position as the Head of the Liu Clan?
Liu Changhe had no children. He only had one daughter, Liu Yan. Liu Jing was his younger brother, so the position of the next head of the family would naturally be his!
But Li Mo's appearance worried him. And now that he was back in Fanyang County, the news of Li Mo's performance yesterday spread everywhere!
This made him even more hostile towards Li Mo!
"I know it's the Liu clan!
So what? "Li Mo's dislike for Liu Ming grew.
"Punk!
I'm warning you, don't get cocky or I won't be polite! "Liu Ming was furious.
"Are you trying to scare me?
Let me tell you, stay away from me and don't provoke me! "
"Hey!
I say, what's up with you two?
Why are you in such a rush? "The confused Liu Jing saw the mood wasn't right and cut in!
He didn't have Liu Ming's schemes and ambitions!
He was carefree and didn't care about anything!
However, Liu Ming was still her older brother, so she liked to follow behind him!
Liu Ming had schemed against him many times, but he never quibbled with him!
"It's none of your business. Go away!"
Liu Jing's expression turned ugly when he heard Liu Ming's words.
He stood to the side in silence!
"Li Mo, let's not waste words. Why don't we have a contest of wits?"
