"Yuyan is back!"

"Yes, Uncle Zhang!"

"Yo, Yuyan came back so early today?"

"Yes, Sixth Aunt, I came back early because of a storm at sea today!"

"… …"

After the rain, the bluestone path appeared somewhat slippery, but this did not affect the villagers' enthusiasm. People were coming and going on the narrow streets, hawking and shouting non-stop.

After staying in the God Tree Village for half a year, Mo Li's injuries had already mostly healed. However, he was still hesitating when he should leave.

"What's wrong with you, Brother Mo Li?"

The young girl's voice brought Mo Li back to reality.

The coarse hemp clothes couldn't cover up her alluring figure, and the body of a sixteen to seventeen year old girl revealed her purity and vitality.

The constant sea breeze did not make the girl's skin rough. Instead, her skin was white and tender, much more so than an ordinary girl's. Her long black hair was tied back with a string, and the sea in front of her was hanging just above her eyebrows. Her oval face had a pair of large clear eyes, and under her exquisite nose were her rosy lips. Her swan like neck was exposed, and her straight chest and waist were so slim that it couldn't even be held tightly.

Qiao Yuyan was the one who saved the heavily injured Mo Li with her grandfather.

"It's nothing, I was just wondering what good food Yu Yan will cook tonight!"

With the fish basket on his back and the net in his hand, a smile appeared on Mo Li's face.

"You …" You only know how to eat, and you're almost like a snowball! "

The young girl covered her mouth as she giggled. Her two dimples revealed an indescribable sweetness. That moment of flirtatiousness caused Mo Li to be slightly dazed.

"What are you looking at …" Hurry up and go back, Grandpa is still waiting for me to cook! " A blush appeared on her face, and the young man's fiery gaze made it difficult for the young girl to resist.

"Ah …" That's right! "Yes, we have to go back quickly!" Embarrassed, Mo Li rubbed his nose and cursed himself in his heart.

He didn't have enough willpower …

"… …"

"Grandfather, we're back!"

Pushing aside the bamboo fence, a vegetable patch appeared in front of him. A few bamboo houses were quietly standing not far away from the vegetable patch.

"Un …"

The old man had a head full of white hair and a benevolent smile hung on his wrinkled face. His muddy eyes flashed from time to time, as if he could see through everything in the world.

"I'll go cook!" As she hummed a song and headed to the kitchen, the young girl seemed to be in a good mood.

"Mo Li, follow me!" The old man beckoned to the young man before walking into the bamboo house.

The bamboo house was not big and its furnishings were simple. Besides a few strings of conch shells on the wall and the wind chimes at the door, there was only some furniture that was necessary.

Whether it was a cabinet or a table and chairs, they were all made of bamboo. The room was not grand, but it was definitely fresh and elegant.

"Elder Qiao, what's wrong?" Mo Li poured a cup of tea for himself. He was already extremely familiar with the old man since they'd been together for half a year.

"When are you leaving?"

Sitting at the table, the old man's first words made Mo Li's hand stop pouring tea.

Taking the teapot from Mo Li, the old man's voice revealed an vicissitudes of life, "From the moment I saved you, I knew you weren't an ordinary person. How could the God Tree Village be your permanent residence?!"

Taking a deep breath, Mo Li similarly smiled and said, "I was able to treat such a heavy injury to Elder Qiao. How could you be an ordinary person?!"

The expression on the old man's face did not change at all, and the water in the teapot flowed steadily into the cup.

Mo Li nodded to himself. He had always admired the old man's calm demeanor. Putting everything else aside, this state of mind was not something an ordinary fisherman could possess.

"Perhaps I was an unusual person in the past, but now … I am just an old fisherman from a fishing village! " The old man pushed a cup of tea in front of Mo Li and placed it next to his mouth.

"Tea. It can only smell good after being refined. However, before this, the quality of the tea was determined by the quality of the plant and the environment it grew in. Now you are like tea, its own conditions are sufficient, the lack of environment training and constantly grinding and processing. Godly Tree Village. Not your stage! "

His philosophical words caused a look of deep thought to appear on Mo Li's face.

"I have passed, fought, walked, chased … See a lot of people, think a lot of things, for life I lost the initial motivation, which is why you see this stable. But you are different, you are still young, don't let some unnecessary restraints affect your fighting spirit! " The earnest and earnest explanation made Mo Li's mood even more complicated.

"Elder Qiao, I …" Mo Li wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Do you think that Yuyan and I are reluctant to leave after saving you and getting along for so long?"

"Un …" Mo Li nodded slowly. His heart was indeed full of reluctance.

"Foolish child, there are many opportunities for us to meet in the future, but not many opportunities for us to pursue our dreams! Come back when you have time, that's enough! " Clapping Mo Li's shoulder, wasn't the old man also reluctant to part with Mo Li?

Although Mo Li didn't want to show off, the old man could tell that Mo Li had an extraordinary temperament from this youth in the past half year. Adding on the clues he had discovered, the old man determined that Mo Li's origins wouldn't be simple!

Although he didn't know why Mo Li would fall unconscious in such a desolate area, the old man was clear that he wouldn't be able to keep Mo Li in his bamboo houses or the God Tree Village!

"Actually, the reason I'm leaving this time is to find my lost Master, so my leaving is only a matter of time!" Looking at the old man with a complicated expression, Mo Li continued, "I didn't expect to suffer such heavy injuries the moment I came out. Fortunately, Elder Qiao and Yu Yan saved me, so I survived. My uncles told me that the world was full of deceit and scheming. But here, I feel the warmth and kindness of the villagers.

The old man still did not speak, only calmly looked at the youth.

"Actually, even if Elder Qiao hadn't said it today, I'd still have said goodbye after a while. It's not because I'm greedy for the secular world, but because I want to find the master who picked me up and took me in!" When he thought of his master, Mo Li's mood turned anxious.

"You're already so strong at such a young age, it looks like your master isn't an ordinary person …"

"My master's strength is enough to stand at the peak of this world!"

With a slight raise of his eyebrows, the old man's expression finally changed slightly.
