Upon hearing this, Mo Chen immediately understood. So Yan Ligu had personally gone to investigate Hua Baixian's whereabouts for Mo Li!

Yan Ligu smiled and nodded. "Yes! Don't forget your original intention. You must complete the mission. You can leave anytime you want."

Mo Li was so excited she couldn't stop smiling, and her eyes were filled with tears. "I know, I know..."

Gripping the key tightly in her hand, Mo Li's heart was resolute: This time, I will not let her do anything foolish again!

Mo Li excitedly ran out without saying goodbye, ready to pack her luggage.

Mo Chen frowned slightly. "Is this really a good idea?"

Yan Ligu's expression was solemn. "Love and separation, unfulfilled desires are things we experience all the time. I want Mo Li to know that the one he loves cannot be Hua Baixian alone, and the one he cannot have is not the one right in front of him!"

Mo Chen looked at Yan Ligu with some suspicion, "What exactly are you raising Mo Li for?"

Yan Ligu said with a solemn expression, "There are nine realm lords in this Nine Springs Realm. When the nine realm lords have a meeting, they can vote. But recently, there have been constant proposals to open up a new spring. When that happens, the position of realm lord will be much more complicated than that."

Mo Chen frowned slightly, already guessing what was going on. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "But this is somewhat... unfair to him."

Yan Ligu looked at the sky outside the window, oblivious to the waxing and waning of the moon; it was always the same color, a fixed, unchanging gray. "So-called fairness is always the choice of the strong; what is there to resist?"

Mo Chen remained silent.
