Free Web NovelThe wind swept through the banyan trees at the end of summer, the weather gradually became less hot, and the Autumn Water Pavilion was no longer bustling with visitors every day.
After all, Qingyuan Sect was not an inn. Li Mo bought a house outside for his relatives, who came to attend the engagement banquet, to stay in. Li Dalong and Gu Xueqin went to look after them.
The bright morning light, filtering through the gaps in the banyan trees, cast cool, fragmented gold. Li Mo was waiting at the door early in the morning for Elder Qian to set off together.
“Father, Mother, your son is leaving again. This time I’m going to the East Sea, which is a very distant place.”
Li Mo tilted his head at a Forty-five-degree angle, his brows showing the emotion and reluctance of an impending long journey.
“Hmm, when you leave, take out the trash by the door.”
Li Dalong, who was doing his morning exercises in the yard, didn’t even turn his head.
“?”
Xiao Li’s back stiffened for a moment. He finally understood Zhong Shu’s feelings when he was ignored in the main hall.
“Son, take these.”
Gu Xueqin carried several bundles, all filled with clothes and daily necessities, making her son carry one in each hand, and another hung around his neck.
“Thank you, Mother, for preparing these things for my journey. Uh...”
Li Mo accepted them with a touch of emotion.
But he looked down and saw women’s clothing inside: “But it seems some of these things might not be needed...”
“These are for the house in Fu City.”
Gu Xueqin looked strange: “Son, aren’t you fast on your feet? That [N O V E L I G H T] cloud thing just whooshes by. Grandfather and Grandmother have a lot of things, so you can take some over for them.”
“Wait a moment, there’s more.”
His mother said, then turned back to pack more things.
“??”
Two noisy crows flew across the sky, fully describing Xiao Li’s inner chaos and helplessness.
It seemed he had to accept a fact: in his parents’ eyes, he had grown up, his shoulders could bear a sky, he was much stronger than them, and no longer an immature brat.
This, perhaps, was what was lost in growing up, damn it.
At this moment, Ying Bing also came downstairs and joined the family in packing, feeding items into the boy with a large head’s belly one by one.
Her movements were skilled and natural, making Grandfather and Grandmother’s smiles exceptionally bright.
Grandmother even feared that Han Xianzi, who was now on the Human Ranking, would get tired, so she made her sit and rest, and even personally combed Ying Bing’s hair, praising its quality as she did so.
“Little Bing’er, are you going with Xiao Mo too? Grandmother can’t bear to part with you.”
“No, he’ll be back in less than two days. I’ll stay in Ziyang Prefecture to keep you company.”
“Good, good, Grandmother will make something delicious for you today.”
Ying Bing sat properly, a reassured joy sparkling in her narrowed eyes.
Colorful butterflies seemed to catch the scent of blooming orchids, landing on the edges of her hair. She noticed them but didn’t shoo them away, letting them add a touch of lively purity to her.
Li Mo leaned against the door, watching her, his lips unconsciously curving upwards.
He had been pampered by his family since childhood, but Ice Cube had been unable to feel this family affection for a long time.
The people of the Old Li family had one thing in common: his mother, his father, his grandfather, and his grandmother all had delicate minds.
They wanted Ice Cube to know that she had family again.
What did he say earlier?
Ice Cube smiled beautifully. Perhaps he would often see her at her most beautiful from now on?
“What are you thinking about?”
Xiao Li came back to his senses, only to find that the person he had been looking at was closer, her jade face tilted up at him.
“I’m leaving for a few days, so I’m very worried about one thing.”
“Worried about what?”
Ying Bing reached out and caught the colorful butterfly from her hair.
Li Mo said seriously: “When the weather gets hot, there are a lot of mosquitoes. Look how big this mosquito is.”
Ying Bing glanced at the colorful butterfly on her fingertip: “Is this... a mosquito?”
“So, before I leave, I need to Seal it in advance. Only then can I go to the East Sea with peace of mind.”
“You’ll be seen.”
Ice Cube looked back at Grandfather and Grandmother, then seemed to remember something: “Not in a place where we can’t be seen... not even during the day.”
“It’s fine, I know a place where we can be seen, but won’t be discovered. It’s perfect for planting a Seal.”
Li Mo said seriously.
Then he took her hand and walked out along the stream of the Autumn Water Pavilion, all the way to where he used to practice.

At that time, he had dug a Water Curtain Cave behind the waterfall, and it was still the same.
“You’ve been preparing this place for a long time, haven’t you?”
Ying Bing was pulled inside by him, the light around them suddenly dimmed, and she said softly:
“I knew your head was full of those messy thoughts every day...”
“But Sister, I haven’t been an immature brat for days.”
“...”
Ying Bing looked up, then lowered her eyes.
Oh, right, Xiao Li was now the pillar of the Old Li family, and no one treated him like a child anymore. Recently, there were also many people in the family... “I can’t do anything about you. Don’t go down...Woo...”
So, there was some truth to the saying that rumors are not groundless.
Even the slightest ‘wuwu’ sound echoed exceptionally clearly.
As is well known.
The Water Curtain Cave was separated from the outside by a waterfall and water, so it was usually very stuffy. Staying for too long would make one feel oxygen-deprived, which is why later there were also sounds of heavy breathing.
“No more.”
“This little bit of ice, who is it enough for?”
Facing Xiao Li, who could perform the Seventy-Two Transformations, and was now vaguely about to achieve the Seventy-Three Transformations, with one new transformation being a werewolf.
Ying Bing gasped for fresh air, quickly covered his approaching mouth, and wouldn’t let him eat anymore.
The clothes were all put away; they were about to leave, no time to change.
And it is also well known.
When faced with delicious food, even the hardest mouth will water.
And again, it is well known.
Plain clothes stained with saliva would definitely be very obvious... The family set off for their new residence in Ziyang Prefecture. Qin Yuzhi and Shang Qinqing also followed, as Li Mo was not there, and the Autumn Water Pavilion didn’t even have anyone to cook.
Li Mo himself came back and waited for a while. Elder Qian only said it would be during the day, but didn’t specify when.
Having nothing to do, he began to count his wealth, not including Heaven And Earth Treasure.
In the afternoon, a round figure, roughly as wide as it was long, appeared at the door.
Elder Qian wiped his sweat and said: “There were quite a few things to prepare and check. The Outer Affairs Hall had a pile of things, which took me all morning. You’ve waited a long time.”
“Thank you for your hard work, Elder. You look... uh, tired and portly.”
Li Mo said, his pen, which was recording accounts, didn’t stop.
While continuing to write, he said: “You’re not late. I haven’t finished counting either.”
“What are you counting that takes longer than me?”
“Money.”
