The threat from the Duan family no longer exists, and Lu Xinyue feels like she has been reborn with the help of Li Mo. The whole Lu family is grateful to Li Mo.
"Xiao Mo, look at you really saving our Lu family this time! I'm so grateful that I'll ask you to stay in my house for a few more days, so that I, Lu Fang, can fulfill my duty as a landlord.
Lu Xinyue's father, Lu Fang, loved Li Mo very much, not just because he saved his daughter. Mostly because of the amazing strength he showed today! He has achieved such success at such a young age. If he can be on good terms with him, the Lu family can return to its former glory in the future!
"Xiaomo, we only have a daughter like Xinyue. If you hadn't come to save us today, we might never see Xinyue again! So please make sure to stay at home for some time!"
Lu Xinyue's mother also had a good impression of Li Mo.
At this time, Lu Xinyue looked at Li Mo with expectant eyes, hoping that he would obey his parents' arrangements!
"Uncle Lu, I didn't tell my family when I came to Qingfeng City this time, so I accept your wishes. I will rush back early tomorrow morning, and there are still many things at home waiting for me to deal with. Next If I have the chance, I will definitely visit you! ”
"Xiaomo, I have already heard about your identity from Xinyue. There are indeed many things waiting for you in an official position. Then we, the husband and wife, will not force you to stay. But in order to express our Lu family's gratitude to you, this You must accept the things!”
As he spoke, Lu Fang took out a delicate small box from his arms and handed it to Li Mo.
"This is… "
Li Mo looked at the box in confusion, not knowing what was inside.
After gently opening the box, a crystal clear elixir with an alluring medicinal fragrance appeared in front of him
"Is this the 'Dragon Soul Pill'?"
Although Li Mo didn't know much about pills, he had seen this 'Dragon Soul Pill' at the auction house.
"Isn't this the 'Dragon Soul Pill' that Miss Xinyue took? But it should have been incinerated by the Red Sword together with Duan Zhengyun. How could it appear here?"
"Haha... Xiaomo, this is the 'Dragon Soul Pill', but it's not the one Xinyue bought at the auction!"
Li Mo looked at Lu Fang blankly. Not to mention the lower-ranking families in the Lu family, even some powerful families might not be able to get this elixir. This thing has a price but no market!
"Uncle Lu, I accept it with your heart, but this thing is too valuable and I really can't accept it!"
"Xiao Mo, this thing may be a rare treasure to others, but it is nothing to me, Lu Fang. As long as you can gather the materials used, you can have as many as you want!"
Li Mo was shocked when he heard this.
"Uncle Lu, could it be that... are you an alchemist?"
Li Mo's eyes were filled with excitement as he waited for Lu Fang's answer.
Xiaomo, since you are the benefactor of our Lu family, I don’t want to hide it from you. I am indeed an alchemist! "
The profession of alchemist is extremely rare on the Xuangu Continent. Only some very large families and forces have alchemists. Li Mo never imagined that Lu Fang, who was only a senior martial artist in front of him, was actually an alchemist, and at least he thought he was an intermediate alchemist.
"Uncle Lu, this junior has lost sight of Taishan. I didn't expect you to be an alchemist!"
"Ashamed, ashamed! Although I am an alchemist, I don't even have the strength to protect my daughter. What a great irony! Back then, Duan Zhengyun not only valued my daughter's Yuan Yin body, but also found out about it from somewhere. Only then did he save my family, and then he accepted my daughter as his disciple. During this period, he kept threatening me with my daughter's life, asking me to refine the elixir for him, otherwise how could he be where he is today. The strength dominates Qingfeng City!"
Looking at Lu Fang's helpless statement, Li Mo finally understood the hidden secret between him and the Duan family.
"Then Uncle Lu, why does Duan Zhengyun want to sell the 'Dragon Soul Pill'?"
"The materials needed to refine the 'Dragon Soul Pill' are extremely precious. When he gathered the materials, he asked me to refine it for him. But I know that if he achieves martial soul, it will definitely be detrimental to Xinyue. So I When I told him that the elixir refining failed, he also knew the complexity of elixir refining, and failure was common, so he had no doubts."
"Uncle Lu, was this 'Dragon Soul Pill' the one you refined for him?"
"Yes, exactly! Although this thing is not a top-notch elixir, it is still a rare thing. Xiaomo, if you still recognize me as your uncle, put him away!"
Looking at Lu Fang's sincere eyes, Li Mo finally accepted it. But there was a new idea in his mind!
"If you can take Lu Fang for your own use, it will be very helpful to your future development! But this matter cannot be rushed. As he is at least an intermediate alchemist, as long as he is willing, there are many super families who will ask him for help. His offer of an olive branch will not be threatened by Duan Zhengyun. It seems that this person does not want to join any force."
…
Lu Fang held a banquet and had a pleasant conversation with Li Mo. They both felt that they had met so late. They drank until late at night before taking a rest.
Maybe it was because of the alcohol, but Li Mo didn't feel sleepy at all. After leaving the room, I wanted to take a walk outside.
"Li Mo, why haven't you rested yet?"
Lu Xinyue's voice sounded behind him.
"Oh, I can't sleep and want to go out for a walk. Why can't Miss Xinyue fall asleep so late
Regarding Lu Xinyue, Li Mo still wanted to keep a certain distance from him. After all, he already had a sweetheart. He couldn't let Liu Yan down, nor could he repay Lu Xinyue.
"Yes! Thinking that you were leaving tomorrow, I wanted to come over and see you, but I didn't expect that you didn't rest either!"
Lu Xinyue's words all revealed her love for Li Mo.
"Miss Xinyue, there are some things I want to explain to you!"
"Okay! Just say what you want to say!"
"It's like this, I know how you feel about me, but I already have someone I love. I'm afraid of letting you down, so we still..."
Li Mo said that it was a bit hard to say this. After all, it was cruel to say these words to a kind girl.
"Li Mo, I also have something to say to you. In fact, I have already seen that you already have a confidante, but you are not married yet, right? That means I still have a chance."
"But Miss Xinyue, this is unfair to you. There are many people who are better than me. Why do you treat yourself like this..."
"Li Mo! Do you like me?"
Lu Xinyue directly interrupted Li Mo and looked directly at Li Mo.
"me… "
Li Mo is a complete novice when it comes to relationships, and this is the first time he has come into contact with such a proactive girl. When asked by Lu Xinyue, she didn't know what to say. He admires Lu Xinyue's character very much and likes her very much in his heart.
"What? Am I really worse than your confidante?"
"No! No! No! You are not worse than anyone else, it's just that I can no longer hold other people in my heart, do you understand? And I'm about to get married! I don't want your great youth to be wasted on me! I Li Mo, thank you for loving me wrongly, I’m sorry!”
After saying that, Li Mo turned around and left.
Lu Xinyue stared at his back blankly, her tears falling again unsatisfactorily. Although she had expected such an ending, her heart was still filled with endless melancholy.
"Li Mo! I, Lu Xinyue, have recognized you for the rest of my life, and I will let you accept it!"
