"You old geezer, you've been hiding your true strength!
You've been deceiving me my whole life!
Spit it out, who are you? "
Han Tianyu arrived at the arena with Tiger on the Road.
"Ha-ha … old buddy, it's not that I wanted to hide it from you, but I have my own difficulties!
Now that the match is over, I will tell you the truth when we get back. "
"Good!
I want to see what kind of noble status this old friend of mine has.
Let's go!
He led Li Mo and Tiger on the Road out of the arena.
Lan Jingyuan didn't leave with them, saying he had some business to attend to and would return to the guild's lodgings.
Han Haotian was the only one left in the arena. He looked helplessly at the audience, hoping to find his father's good friend to help the Qian clan get through this crisis!
But when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. None of Qian Kun's old friends were willing to lend him a helping hand. They all avoided Qian Haotian's pleading eyes.
"Ah!
Li Mo … you destroyed my Qian clan. I, Qian Haotian, will never forgive you! "
…
Li Mo heard Qian Haotian's angry roar, but he didn't care.
They were just stray dogs. Li Mo didn't want to kill them all!
"Wow!
The leader is here!
Li Mo won!
Ha-ha … our Fallen Leaf Town is in the finals! "
Ye Fan was the first to rush over when he saw Han Tianyu leading Li Mo and the rest.
Han Zhe, Zi Lingwei, and Lan Xin followed behind.
"Li Mo, you're my idol!"
…
Ye Fan and the rest hugged Li Mo and wept. They didn't see the entire fight, but they could imagine how much Li Mo had to go through to win!
"Alright!
Why are all of you crying and wailing here?
Letting others see us as a joke! "
Han Tianyu's eyes welled up.
"Li Mo, congratulations on making it to the finals.
If I make it to the finals this time, I'll fight you three days later! "
Wang Zixuan arrived in front of the Fallen Leaf Village crowd and spoke to Li Mo who was surrounded.
But he didn't wait for Li Mo's reply. He nodded at Han Tianyu and left!
It should be because his match was about to begin!
Everyone laughed and joked the whole way. Ye Fan and the rest had a basic understanding of the race from Tiger on the Road's narration and were in awe of Li Mo.
This competition could be said to be killing two birds with one stone. Not only did they win the competition, but they also moved their current biggest enemy, Qian Kun.
After everyone arrived at their residence, a celebration was inevitable!
Han Tianyu made an exception and let everyone drink today. The Fallen Leaf Town guild had never achieved such a good result.
Even if they lost tomorrow's match, they would still be second place in this year's Martial Tournament. That was also a supreme honor.
It wasn't until late at night that everyone returned to their rooms to rest.
Only Han Tianyu and Li Mo were left in the bustling hall.
Han Tianyu had drunk a lot of wine today, but with his alcohol tolerance, he wasn't drunk.
He sat on the sofa and watched Li Mo lovingly, his heart filled with indescribable joy.
"Leader, why are you looking at me like that?"
"Little Mo, call me leader when others are around. But I hope you will call me grandpa in private."
"Yes!
Leader … oh, grandpa! "
"Ha-ha … that's right. For you to call me grandpa, this old man is truly blessed!"
"Grandpa, please don't say that. How can I, Li Mo, deserve this?"
"Why can't you say that?
Brat, you've brought glory to our Guild in front of the nobles today. With your talent and the strength you've displayed, you've earned the Guild's reputation.
I think it won't be long before a lot of big forces come to me to poach you! "
As he spoke, Han Tianyu, who was originally very happy, suddenly felt a trace of loneliness.
"Grandpa, don't worry!
I will never forget your kindness in recognizing and employing me.
I, Li Mo, am a member of our guild. I won't go anywhere! "
Li Mo's shrewdness told him what Han Tianyu was thinking and he explained in a hurry.
"No … if a righteous guild comes to invite you, I will still want you to go.
I may be reluctant to part with you, but I don't want to hold you back.
Besides, you have your own private matters to deal with. Who knows, maybe you'll meet someone stronger in a guild that will help you! "
"Grandpa, I will find a way to deal with my own matters.
Unless you don't want me anymore, I, Li Mo, will never leave the guild! "
Han Tianyu's tears flowed down his cheeks.
"Good, good!
My good boy … "
The door was flung open before Han Tianyu could finish.
Lan Jingyuan hurriedly walked in.
"Hey!
Old man, today is a joyous day. What are you doing?
Why are you crying?
You're so old yet you don't know shame! "
"I don't need you to tell me. I'm crying tears of joy!"
Han Tianyu wiped his tears in a hurry and rolled his eyes at Lan Jingyuan.
"Senior Lan, didn't you say you'd tell us who you are?
I can't wait any longer! "
Li Mo changed the subject to avoid Han Tianyu's awkwardness.
"Yeah, old buddy, you've been hiding it from me all your life. It's about time you told me the truth!"
"Sigh!
Alright, one is an old friend and the other is a junior I admire the most.
I will tell you who I really am. I am the uncle of the current king! "
"Ah …"
Li Mo and Han Tianyu were so shocked they didn't know what to say.
After today's events, they had guessed Lan Jingyuan's identity several times, but never the king's uncle.
"Senior Lan, that's not right. The current king is Wang Zixuan's uncle. His surname should be Wang!
B-but why is your surname Lan? "
"Sigh!
I changed my surname to Lan to make it easier to roam the world. My real name is Wang Jingyuan! "
"Oh!
So that's how it is. Then Lan … senior Wang, with your esteemed status, why did you choose to live a carefree life? "
"Call me senior Lan is more pleasing to the ear. I no longer use the surname Wang when Qiu Yun left.
Originally, I should have been the one to inherit the throne, but after meeting Qiu Yun, I knew that she was a woman used to living a free life, so I wanted to give up on the throne and live the life she wanted with her.
This is why I suddenly left her for a year. I had to go back to the palace and convince my father.
But when I came back, she was no longer there! "
