"Good child, don't worry about staying. With Li Yu's reputation in Zhongzhou, it won't be difficult for you to find him in the future."

Li Linglong nodded slightly, then suddenly rushed forward and hugged Li Yu tightly, her red eyes glistening with tears.

"Brother Li Yu, please take good care of yourself. I will come to find you when I become strong enough."

Li Yu gently patted Li Linglong's head and smiled reassuringly:

"I understand. I'll be waiting for you to protect my brother then."

Hearing Li Yu's words, Li Linglong finally released Li Yu and nodded vigorously: "Mm."

That evening, Li Yu's team stayed on Mojia Mountain to rest and recuperate.

The next morning, amidst a light drizzle, Li Yu and his group gathered early in front of the Mo Family Hall.

Upon learning that Li Linglong was going to stay on the Mo family's mountain, Li Yu's group gathered around her to say goodbye.

Fu Xiyao also stepped forward, her eyes filled with reluctance, and gently took Li Linglong's small hand, saying softly:

"Linglong, I really like you as my sister. You must take good care of yourself while you stay in the Mo family. Once you become stronger, we can go on adventures together again."

Li Linglong's eyes reddened slightly: "I'll miss you too."

Even Zhao Mutou, who had always been taciturn, slowly came over to say goodbye.

However, when he stood in front of Li Linglong, he opened his mouth but couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

Seeing this, Li Linglong couldn't help but burst into laughter through her tears and jokingly said:

"Hey, Zhao Mutou, when you're with Brother Li Yu, don't just bury your head in your work all the time, talk to everyone more."

"From now on, our Fourth Battalion will rely on you alone for the time being."

Zhao Mutou simply nodded silently without saying a word.

After following Li Yu to avenge his parents, Zhao Mutou became increasingly silent and spoke less and less.

Although Li Yu took the initiative to talk to him and even tried to give him some advice, Zhao Mutou didn't seem to have changed at all.
