After a long while, Ji Jue swallowed the food that was filling his mouth. He looked up and glanced around before finally fixing his gaze on Li Molin. He asked blankly, "Young Master, aren't you... going to eat?"

Li Molin smiled gently and shook his head, saying, "It's alright, you can eat."

"Oh," Ji Jue responded, then hesitated before burying his head in his food again.

Liuli clicked her tongue and shook her head, then looked down at Ahua, who was curled up in a ball on her lap, and whispered, "Ji Jue can really eat. This stuff tastes awful..."

"Meow." Ahua nodded in deep agreement.

Liuli's eyes darted around, then she looked up at Li Molin and asked with a smile, "Li Molin, why haven't I seen you wearing that bracelet today?"

Li Molin's lips curled slightly as he raised his hand, his sleeve sliding down to reveal a jade bracelet. He smiled and said, "You mean this?"

"Huh?" Liuli asked, feigning surprise, "Didn't you say you had several bracelets? Why do I only see you wearing this one?"

Li Molin calmly withdrew his hand and said with a faint smile, "What can I do? I like this the most."

Liuli pouted and said in a strange voice, "No wonder you're such a stingy person and you treasure it so much... Hey, this bracelet is so pretty, if you won't give it to me, can't you let me wear it for a couple of days?"

"No way." Li Molin shook his head and smiled, "Didn't I tell you? All my treasures are inside this bracelet, how can I let you wear it?"

"Tch." Liuli scoffed, "What a stingy person!"

Li Molin smiled but remained silent.

Liuli lowered her head, her eyes darting around a few times, then looked up, her little face scrunched up in a pleading manner, and said with a smile, "Li Molin, could you let me take a look at that bracelet? Just a look."

Li Molin leaned forward, his smile turning into a playful one, and asked casually, "Why should I show it to you?"

"Hmph!" Liuli's face darkened, and she stood up with Ahua in her arms, angrily saying, "You jerk! You stingy brat!"

Having said that, he stormed out of the tent.

Yu Ke glanced at Li Molin's smiling face, bowed, and said, "Young Master, this subordinate will take his leave."

“Okay.” Li Molin nodded in agreement.

Seeing that Yu Ke had stood up, Lang Yuan, who had no interest in the food on the table, also stood up and said, "Young Master, I'm full. I'll take my leave."

Li Molin pondered for a moment, then stood up and said, "Never mind, I won't eat either. Let's go together. Ji Jue, you can eat slowly."

"Yes!" Ji Jue responded vaguely. He stood up and waited until Li Molin, Yu Ke, and Lang Yuan left before he sat down to continue eating.

Li Molin was the first to step out of the tent. Yu Ke and Lang Yuan greeted him and were about to leave when suddenly a black-feathered bird flew over quickly and landed on Li Molin's shoulder, chirping sweetly.

With the arrival of the black-feathered bird, Yu Ke and Lang Yuan immediately focused their attention on it. Lang Yuan couldn't understand the bird's calls, but he could see that Li Molin and Yu Ke had thoughtful expressions on their faces.

After a long while, the birds stopped chirping. Yu Ke looked at Li Molin and asked, "Young Master?"

After a moment's thought, Li Molin said in a low voice, "Yu Ke, go and call Liu Li. We're setting off for Yingyang City immediately."

"Yes," Yu Ke replied, turning and walking towards Liuli's tent.

"Yingyang City?" Lang Yuan asked, puzzled.

Li Molin nodded and said, "I just received news that Liang Yihan and Xuan Yuanhao have returned to Yingyang City. Something must have changed in Yingyang City."

After a moment's thought, Lang Yuan nodded and said, "Yes."

Li Molin said in a deep voice, "Lang Yuan, go tell Ji Jue not to eat anymore. We're setting off immediately."

"Okay." Lang Yuan replied, then turned and walked back to the tent where they had just eaten.

Li Molin waited for a moment. First, Lang Yuan and Ji Jue hurriedly came out. Then, after a while, Liu Li's excited shouts came from afar: "Li Molin, we're going to Yingyang City? Really? Really? We're finally leaving this awful place!"

Li Molin turned to look in that direction and saw Liuli running towards him excitedly, skipping and hopping. His gaze softened, and he smiled, "It's true, let's go."

Liuli was overjoyed and ran over with a cheerful laugh. Her laughter was clear and melodious, and it sounded wonderful.

Li Molin looked at her tenderly, shaking his head and chuckling.
