Li Mo hired a carriage in Bluestone City. After settling the mother and daughter down, he got on as well. He didn't want any more accidents to happen!
"Little Mo, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, Yan 'er and I would …"
"Madam, this is what I should do. You don't have to be so polite. This is nothing!"
"Li Mo, how did you know where mother and I are?"
Liu Yan, now out of the devil's clutches, was as lively as ever.
"I also met a servant of the County Governor's Mansion on the way. Liu Jing was also there, but Liu Jing was seriously injured and had been unconscious. That servant told me that you were detained by Wang Hu, so I was able to find you so quickly!"
"Liu Jing, that child was injured because he was trying to protect us!
I wonder how he is now? "
"Madam, don't worry. I've seen him. His injuries are heavy, but not life-threatening. He will be fine after a few days of rest!"
"Sigh, I hope so."
Despite Li Mo's persuasion, Liu Yan's mother was too frightened. She didn't speak a word the whole way, her eyes looking out the window. No one knew what she was thinking.
But Liu Yan, that thick-skinned lass, had long since forgotten the danger. She was no different from her usual self, chattering away in the carriage.
…
"Madam, Yan 'er!"
Liu Changhe was waiting at the city gate when he heard the news. He was so excited to see Li Mo's carriage.
When she saw Liu Changhe, Liu Yan's mother's eyes flashed with tears. Ignoring the crowd around her, she threw herself directly into her husband's arms and kept sobbing. It was not until this moment that her frightened heart truly calmed down.
"Madam, what are you doing in front of the child and so many people?
Let's go home and talk. "
"Father!" Liu Yan hugged Liu Changhe's arm.
"Ha-ha … good!
My Yan 'er is fine. Come, let's go home! "
…
Back at his residence, Li Mo told Liu Changhe and the elders everything. Liu Changhe acted quickly, sending a trusted aide to Bluestone City to take over Wang Hu's affairs.
Liu Jing's injuries were already under control. He just needed some time to recuperate and recover. It was not a big problem.
In these days, apart from Liu Yan's daily 'harassment', Li Mo spent the rest of his time cultivating in his room.
He kept thinking about everything that Xian Yangzi had told him back then!
"If I continue to cultivate in the mansion, I'm afraid I won't be able to find the other three manuals in this lifetime!
Where the hell are they?
If I go out to travel, I might be lucky enough to find it. Even if I can't find it, going out to see the world will be of great help to my future! "
Having made up his mind, Li Mo planned to discuss it with his master and Liu Changhe, as well as Liu Yan!
If he left again … Li Mo didn't dare to think of the consequences.
"Little Mo, you're up early today!"
The next morning, Li Mo opened his door to find Liu Shizhong lounging on a chair drinking tea.
"Master, you're early too!"
"Haha … I'm already so old, where do I get so much sleep!
As for you, don't you usually cultivate in your room?
Why did you come out today? Did something happen? "
"Master, you're not old at all!
I can't hide anything from you. I really do have something I want to discuss with you. "
"You brat, you even learned how to flatter. Spit it out!"
Liu Shizhong pretended to be angry, but in Li Mo's eyes, it was love!
"Master, I want to go out and experience the world!"
"That's great!
It's good for young people to go out. But ever since Huang Tianba withdrew, Fanyang County is safe. But I heard there are still battles going on elsewhere. Don't go too far and be careful! "
"Master, don't worry!
I still need to tell Uncle Liu that I'll be leaving! "
With Liu Shizhong's approval, Li Mo slipped out of the yard.
"You brat!
Ha-ha … "
Liu Changhe was also happy to let Li Mo go. He also told him to be careful and so on. He even gave him some money to use on the road.
Li Mo arrived outside Liu Yan's room, uneasy. He didn't know if this lass would let him go. Just as he was debating on what to say, Liu Yan's voice rang behind him.
"Li Mo, what are you doing sneaking around my room?"
"Ah!" Li Mo jumped in fright from her sudden shout and turned around.
"Yan 'er, I-I have something to tell you!"
Liu Yan blushed at Li Mo's words.
"If there's anything, just say it!
What are you being so shy for? "
"I want to go out and experience the world."
"What?
You want to leave? No, I won't let you. "
"Yan 'er, listen to me!
I want to see the world. It will be a great help to my cultivation! "
"What, this big city can't fit you, Li Mo?
You always want to go out? That won't do!
You left without saying goodbye the last two times. "
Liu Yan put her hands on her hips, a shrewish expression on her face.
Li Mo was speechless. But just as he was thinking of an excuse!
Liu Yan couldn't help but chuckle at Li Mo's deflated expression.
"Ha-ha, Li Mo, I was just joking. Father and grandfathers told me that the small Fanyang County can't keep you. You are a man of great things. I, Liu Yan, may be a girl, but I still understand these principles. Wait for me, I have something for you." Liu Yan ran back to her room.
Li Mo's heart ached at Liu Yan's words. He wanted to give up on this trip.
Liu Yan came back with a new set of clothes and stuffed them in Li Mo's arms.
"Here, you dirtied your clothes last time. I made them for you a few days ago. Go back and see if they fit.
Be careful out there. Don't try to be brave, got it?
Come back as soon as possible.
I will wait for you … "
After saying that, he walked into the room and closed the door. Leaning against the door, his eyes were slightly red!
Liu Yan's voice grew softer and softer until even Li Mo couldn't make out what she said.
"Yan 'er, what did you say?"
"Li Mo's voice came from outside!"
"That fool!" Liu Yan smiled through her tears.
…
Li Mo returned to his room and changed into Liu Yan's new clothes.
He planned to leave soon.
"Little Mo, take these with you on the road."
Liu Shizhong appeared in front of his door with a small porcelain bottle and some silver notes.
"Master, uncle Liu gave me a lot of money. Take it back!"
"It's better to have more money when you're outside. Just in case. Here's the Qi Replenishing Powder, just in case you need it."
"Master, this …"
"Don't bother with this and that. Master gave it to you, so take it. Come back soon. I'm waiting for you to give me a bigger surprise!"
"Thank you, master!" Li Mo bowed to Liu Shizhong and left the courtyard!
Li Mo looked back at the governor's estate, his eyes filled with reluctance.
But he still walked to the city gates.
Li Mo hopped on the horse and was about to leave.
