While Li Mo was immersed in cultivation, he didn't notice that a small portion of the spiritual qi he absorbed didn't turn into inner qi, but was absorbed by the bronze mirror he bought from a stall.
Under the nourishment of the spiritual qi, the green rust on the mirror fell off at a speed visible to the naked eye. The eyes of the four sacred beasts flashed for a moment before returning to normal.
Who knew how long it took for Li Mo to recover his qi before he stopped cultivating and left the scarlet space.
Hu!
Outside his room, Li Mo breathed in the fresh air. He now had his own yard, filled with flowers and plants. Li Mo threw a punch to warm up his body. He didn't expect this punch to be so powerful. Without using any inner qi, Li Mo's fist left a dent in the cobblestone path.
Li Mo felt the change in his power and was overjoyed.
A white shadow flashed. Whoosh!
It jumped out of Li Mo's garden-like yard and climbed the wall. It even looked back at Li Mo before jumping down and disappearing from his sight.
"Whitey!
What's it doing here? "
Li Mo was puzzled, 'This little thing has always been inseparable from Liu Yan. Why is it in my yard today?'
Thinking of this, Li Mo went straight to Liu Yan's room. He was worried something might have happened to her.
But Li Mo's worries were unfounded. Just outside Liu Yan's room, he heard Liu Yan's voice and Whitey's squeaking!
"Whitey, I asked you to check on Li Mo. He hasn't left his room for days and I know he's cultivating. I didn't want to disturb him, so I asked you to check on him. How come you're back so soon?"
Zhizhi …
"En!
You're saying he finished cultivating? "
Zhizhi …
"Really?
Then I'm going to see him. Are you coming with me or are you playing in your room? "
Zhizhi …
…
Li Mo's heart warmed as he listened to the man and beast's conversation.
It turned out that the reason why Little White would appear in his yard was all because of Liu Yan.
But this little thing was so intelligent that Liu Yan could understand it. Li Mo couldn't help but sigh.
"If there's a chance, I must find out the origins of this little thing!"
"Li Mo, why are you here?" Liu Yan opened the door and saw Li Mo leaning against the window, deep in thought.
Li Mo was still deep in thought when Liu Yan's sudden shout startled him.
"No … It's nothing. I just came out for a walk and passed by."
Liu Yan couldn't help but laugh at Li Mo's red face.
"Hehe, I don't believe it.
Did you miss me after not seeing me for a few days, so you came to see me? "
Li Mo didn't expect Liu Yan to be so direct. His face turned red as he scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Well, let's go for a walk. I haven't had a good walk with you since we moved here!"
To ease Li Mo's embarrassment, Liu Yan took the initiative to go for a walk. Li Mo gave her a grateful look and followed her.
Little White was more tactful. It squeaked a couple of times and scurried into the bushes to play by itself.
"Li Mo, when are you going to talk to my father?"
Liu Yan walked in front with her head down.
"Talk about what?"
Li Mo scratched his head at Liu Yan's words.
"You really don't understand, or are you just pretending?"
Liu Yan was mad at Li Mo's blockhead. He was smart about everything, but when it came to men and women, he didn't understand a thing.
"I really don't understand what you're talking about."
"Alright, Li Mo, I'm asking you when you're going to ask for my father's hand in marriage!"
Liu Yan's words were like a clap of thunder in Li Mo's heart.
He cursed himself for being so useless that he let a girl bring it up on her own initiative. As a man, he was useless.
Seeing Liu Yan's expectant gaze, Li Mo sighed!
"Yan 'er, when we get back, I will ask Liu Shuoshuo!"
Li Mo didn't know Liu Yan's attitude towards him before, but now he didn't need to!
The solemn Liu Yan returned to her usual liveliness and plunged into Li Mo's arms.
Hugging her soft, boneless body, Li Mo didn't have the slightest evil thought for this naive and kind-hearted girl. He just wanted to hold her like this forever!
…
After the two established their relationship, Liu Yan became unnatural when she saw Li Mo. She didn't yell like before, but just smiled shyly. This made Li Mo feel Liu Yan was a different person, and he wasn't used to it.
But how could he know what Liu Yan was thinking? She was taught the three obediences and four virtues since childhood. She was taught to support her husband and raise her children. So she did her best to change herself, hoping to show Li Mo her best side.
But Li Mo didn't have the heart to see Liu Yan change anything for him. After a few more persuasions, Liu Yan didn't insist and returned to her lively and cheerful nature.
Day by day, Li Mo was free, spending most of his time on cultivation. The rest of his time was spent with Liu Yan, talking about love. His days were filled with blessings.
Bai Xiao no longer had any financial pressure and threw himself into cultivation, continuing with his father's Wind God Kick and Li Mo's Five Elements Qi. He was now Li Mo's teacher and friend.
…
"Brother Li!" Li Mo was in the middle of practicing Scorching Fist when Bai Xiao's voice interrupted him.
"What's wrong? Why are you so flustered?"
"Brother Li, I heard that a martial arts competition will be held in Tiandu City of Yiyang County. Those who enter the top ten will be rewarded handsomely and will be promoted to nobility. A large number of martial artists have already signed up!"
Yiyang County was like Fanyang County, one of Yuhua State's four counties. Li Mo's Taiping Town was seven or eight hundred li away from Yiyang County's Heavenly Capital.
"Brother Li, why don't we join in the fun? I heard this competition even alarmed Yuhua State's Prince Gong Xian!
The four prefectural governors will be with Prince Gong Xian to watch the finals. "
Looking at Bai Xiao's excited face and his mention of the four governors, Li Mo's heart was stirred. After all, Liu Yan must be missing her father, having brought her daughter out for such a long time!
"Alright!
Then let's go take a look. When will the competition be held? "
Li Mo was ecstatic to hear Li Mo agree. He had never left Taiping Village since he was a child, and his thoughts were always on Yiyang County.
"The competition will be held in half a month's time. If it weren't for the fact that we met a warrior who was going to participate in the competition and learned about it, I'm afraid we would have missed this grand event."
Li Mo calculated the distance and time and decided to leave in five days. But he still had to 'report' to Liu Yan.
…
"Is that so?
My father will be there too? "
Li Mo told Liu Yan about the martial arts competition. Liu Yan was thrilled. Not only could she go for a stroll, but she could also see her father.
How could she not agree?
She was in a rush to ask Li Mo to move the date forward.
It would be best if they left now.
But Li Mo had his own plans. After all, the Li Estate was made up of the Wen clan's guards and servants. He was afraid that after Liu Yan and Bai Xiao left, Bai Xiao's mother would be the only one left. It would be bad if something happened to her.
In the Li Estate's hall, Li Mo sat in the master's seat while Wang Qiang stood respectfully in the middle. He had no idea why Li Mo called him here in such a hurry.
Li Mo followed the principle of never doubting a man he used and never using a man he doubted. He left all matters of the estate to Wang Qiang.
