"Mr. President, instructors, I'm sorry.
I reached my current level in a few months only because of a few fortuitous encounters.
I will explain the twists and turns in the future! "
Li Mo told them his true strength, but he didn't want to talk about it.
Too many of his secrets were involved and he could only brush them off. He hoped Han Tianyu and the rest wouldn't pry.
Han Tianyu understood Li Mo's meaning. Who couldn't have a little privacy? So he didn't pursue the matter.
Instead, he ordered Tiger on the Road and the rest to keep it a secret.
Then he sent the others away, leaving Li Mo alone!
"Little Mo, do you know what it means to be so strong?"
Han Tianyu spoke with a tinge of sadness.
"Chief, please enlighten me!
Li Mo looked at Han Tianyu in confusion, not knowing why he said this.
"Sigh!
The empire has a rule that anyone over the 50th level is no longer a student and can leave the guild.
However, you can also choose to become an instructor in the Guild. Your current level has already far exceeded the required range. May I know what you plan to do? "
"I …"
Li Mo was speechless at Han Tianyu's words!
He really wanted to stay in the guild, but as a teacher, he wouldn't have the same freedom as a student.
His leveling speed would also slow down. How long would it take for him to reach the 80th level?
But he couldn't bear to leave the guild.
After all, he had friends here, and Han Tianyu treated him like family. It was hard to make a choice!
"Little Mo, you once told me about you.
How about this, you leave the guild and come back when you're done. Leaffall Town's doors will always be open for you! "
Seeing Li Mo's hesitation, Han Tianyu put himself in Li Mo's shoes.
"Thank you for your understanding, chief!"
Li Mo didn't expect Han Tianyu to say this and spoke with gratitude.
He knew how important a 71st level expert was to a guild. Han Tianyu didn't try to coerce him into staying. Most people wouldn't do such a thing.
Han Tianyu's concern for Li Mo wasn't the least bit selfish!
"Remember, if you run into trouble after leaving the guild, we will always be your support.
Although the strength of us old fellows is already inferior to you, after all, one more person means one more portion of strength.
That old thing Lan Jingyuan is guarding Fallen Leaves Town and doesn't know you're back yet.
If you have time, go visit him somewhere. His concern for you is no less than mine! "
"I understand, Guild Master. I want to stay in the guild for two more days before leaving!"
"Yes!
If there's nothing else, you can leave! "
…
When Li Mo returned to his dorm, Ye Fan and the rest were waiting for him. They surrounded him the moment they saw him!
"Little Mo, why is President looking for you? Don't tell me it's because you beat up Zhang Yan to punish you?"
"Of course not. He only called me over to chat with me for a while."
"Oh!
That's good.
By the way, you haven't told me your true strength yet! "
"Level fifty!"
Li Mo didn't tell them his true rank, only making it up.
However, he didn't make it too low. Otherwise, he wouldn't have any excuse to leave the guild in the future!
"Wow … Level 50!
You brat, you're too amazing. In just a few short months, you've already given birth to more than ten levels.
Can't you be our mentor now?
Congrats!
Congrats!
You no longer have to be a student! "
"Hello, Mentor Li!"
"Instructor Li, shouldn't you treat us to a big meal?"
…
Ye Fan, Han Zhe, and Lan Xin joked.
Only Zi Lingwei's face turned ugly at Li Mo's words.
She knew of Li Mo and Liu Yan's situation. Since Li Mo was no longer a student, he wouldn't stay in the guild as a mentor for Liu Yan.
She just saw the man she loved, only to have to part ways with him again. Moreover, it was an indefinite separation. How could she not be sad?
"Alright!
Order whatever you want to eat today.
If worse comes to worst, we'll eat at every restaurant in Liuli City! "
Li Mo's emotions were stirred. He couldn't bear to part with his companions.
"Ha-ha … let's go!"
"I'll eat you poor!"
…
The five drank in Liuli City's biggest tavern until late at night before returning to the guild!
Ye Fan, Han Zhe, and Lan Xi were a bit tipsy and went to rest, leaving Li Mo and Zi Lingwei alone.
"Li Mo, shall we go for a walk?"
"Sure!
It's a good way to sober up! "
Li Mo couldn't bear to refuse Zi Lingwei's request.
The two strolled on the field. Zi Lingwei didn't say a word, as if waiting for Li Mo to speak first.
"Zi Lingwei, I …"
"Don't talk. Don't ruin this beautiful night.
I only want to walk with you like this! "
Li Mo was the first to speak, but Zi Lingwei cut him off.
But the more it was like this, the more uncomfortable Li Mo felt.
He knew Zi Lingwei already knew the result of his departure!
"Zi Lingwei, I'm sorry!
Please … "
"Please what?
Please let me give you some more time, right?
Li Mo, I know you're only saying this to brush me off.
From the start, I never entered your heart. I've been deceiving myself.
I know you're about to leave again. Perhaps this time, it will be forever.
I am already satisfied that you agreed to take a walk with me today. Can you accompany me for a while in silence? "
Zi Lingwei's cheeks were streaming with tears!
Li Mo was speechless. He asked himself if everything he said before was really just to brush Zi Lingwei off?
Could it be that she had never moved him before?
Did he never feel anything for this woman who went through life and death with him?
No … Li Mo wasn't a fickle man. Zi Lingwei's place in his heart was quite important!
How could his heart not ache when he heard Zi Lingwei's words?
"Zi Lingwei, you misunderstand!
What I said to you back then was definitely not perfunctory.
But it will be dangerous for you to stay by my side. I don't want to see any harm befall you. Do you understand? "
Li Mo didn't know how to use flowery words. He just said everything in his heart!
Zi Lingwei looked at Li Mo with teary eyes.
"I'm not afraid of danger. As long as I can stay by your side, I can see you every day!"
"Uh …"
Li Mo turned silent. The two stared at each other for a cup of tea's worth of time before Li Mo made up his mind and spoke to Zi Lingwei.
"Alright!
I will tell the chief.
He raised you after all. As long as he agrees, you will leave with me!
But if he doesn't, give me some time. I will come back in two years at the latest.
I swear! "
Zi Lingwei knew how important oaths were to a martial artist. She stopped Li Mo when he raised his right hand.
"I don't need you to swear or ask the chief.
I am sorry I lost my composure just now!
I will wait for you. You are the man I love, the man who will do great things.
I will not obstruct you in the slightest, as long as you remember that there is a woman waiting for you here! "
A woman's heart was like a needle at the bottom of the sea. Just a moment ago, it was overcast, then a thunderstorm. In the blink of an eye, the sky was clear again. It caught Li Mo off guard!
…
The next day, Li Mo told Han Tianyu about it, leaving Han Tianyu between laughter and tears.
"Little Mo!
Although you are already married, you still know too little about girls!
I watched Zi Lingwei grow up and I am by no means an unreasonable person.
Girls need care. You've been back for so many days and yet you haven't had a proper heart-to-heart talk. It's no wonder she's like this. "
Li Mo couldn't help but feel sad. 'It seems I'm still a noob when it comes to relationships.'
