Weren't they always calling her Big Sister? Why did the name change all of a sudden?

"Because in the future, it will be my turn to take care of you." Wu Kong smiled bashfully and pulled Luo Liya into his embrace.

A stream of warmth flowed through her heart. Luo Liya leaned against Wu Kong's embrace, thinking to herself, Since when did Wu Kong become so powerful? So strong that she was willing to stay by his side, feeling that everything was safe?

Time slowly flowed by. Luo Liya felt the greatest happiness in her life. However, happiness was always short-lived. The rest of the journey still had to be taken care of.

As the sun set, the two of them embraced and sat down.

By the time the morning sun rose, the two had already tidied up. They got up and prepared to make their way back to the Blue Water Nation.

Along the way, Wu Kong always told Luo Liya to wait. He asked around in the nearby town and found the right place.

By dusk, the two of them could already see the silhouette of River City from afar.

The two of them happily ran towards River City, only to discover that there were many people running out from the city gates. Seeing the panic on their faces, Luo Liya's heart sank.

Did something happen in River City?

In her heart, Wu Kong had already attracted a kind-looking old man to ask, "Old man, may I ask why you're leaving River City in such a hurry?"

Seeing that someone was holding him back, the person first anxiously struggled, then he heard Wu Kong's gentle voice, and then he saw that Wu Kong was still quite loyal to him, and said, "Don't you know? There were two monsters in the city, and they often went down the hill to attack the crowd. I heard that a lot of shops have been robbed recently.

The old man spoke very quickly and was in a hurry to get to the point where he couldn't explain himself clearly to the two of them.

Even so, hearing these words, Luo Liya still had an ugly expression on her face.

Could it be that something went wrong with Di Gufeng?

The two of them looked at each other, then ran into the city without saying a word.

But he didn't expect to meet an old acquaintance when he'd just entered the city.

"City Governor Fu?"

Looking at the old mayor at the city gate, who was trying his best to apologize to everyone, the white strands in his hair had already crawled up his temples. Luo Liya immediately started to blame herself.

Fu Quan heard someone call out to him and immediately turned his head. He didn't even pay close attention and intended to bow. Wu Kong quickly stepped forward to stop him, trying his best to force out a bright smile, "City Lord, it's Luo Liya and me!"

Hearing the long-awaited sound, Fu Quan immediately raised his head in excitement. When he saw Luo Liya and Wu Kong, his eyes also lit up. "You guys, you guys came back?"

The two hurriedly nodded. "Right, right. We're back!"

Fu Quan shifted his gaze away from the two and looked behind them before asking, "Where are the others?"

When he said those words, his voice was already trembling. He suddenly grabbed Wu Kong's clothes, "Where are they? Is something wrong? "

Fu Quan agreed to go to the Loess Kingdom to help. He believed that the young people should go out and adventure for a bit. The only thing he didn't expect was that one day, his son would die in battle. Looking at Luo Liya and Wu Kong, who were both worn out from their journey, but not seeing the son he had been yearning for day and night, Fu Quan's heart immediately started to beat like a drum: Could it be that something happened to his son?

Luo Liya's heart skipped a beat, she then remembered that these few days she had only been on the move and had completely forgotten about Teacher Xu and the rest. How should she respond to the Old City Lord's question? Thinking of this, she couldn't help but turn her head to Wu Kong.

Wu Kong was also hesitating slightly as his eyes glittered.

Fu Quan seemed to have understood something. His body, which was originally standing still, suddenly trembled. However, he tried his best to control his emotions. After calming down for a long time, he said to the two of them, "Let's go home."

Thus, he turned around and walked in front of the two of them. His lonely and old figure fell into the heart of Luo Liya, it was sour.

Luo Liya wanted to take two quick steps and tell him that Fu Dongming was fine, but she couldn't get in touch with him at the moment. However, he was worried that if something really happened to Fu Dongming and gave hope to the mayor, wouldn't that only increase his pain and suffering?

Thus, she could only follow behind him hesitantly. Luckily, Wu Kong was beside her, otherwise, she wouldn't know how to respond.

River City was in chaos.

The bustle and peace when they left was long gone. The road was filled with people carrying large and small bags. They were in a hurry, and their eyes were filled with terror. Those who saw Fu Quan greeted him with their hands folded in front, while some pointed at him with their fingers. Luo Liya was so worried that she wanted to ask what was going on, but Wu Kong stopped her.

"Let's go to the mayor's house first."

If he needed to say something, he would have to go home.

The three of them traversed the streets and alleys and soon arrived at Fu Quan's house. However, just as they arrived at the main entrance, Luo Liya was dumbfounded. The originally grand and imposing door was smashed into a complete mess by someone. Immediately, she could no longer hold it in. She walked forward and pulled Fu Quan back and asked, "City Lord, what's going on?"

"There are two monsters on the mountain. They regularly rush down the mountain to disturb the people. I've sent many soldiers to capture them, and they've killed them. "

Fu Quan looked at his fallen memorial hall and decided not to enter. He directly told Luo Liya about the situation in River City.

"Then this door doesn't look like it was smashed by a monster!"

This broken appearance was clearly man-made!

"These were all smashed in the middle of the night, there was no way to find them. Some people say it's someone from the Fire Nation, but I've deployed troops to guard it, but I didn't find anyone from the Fire Nation. Some people said that it might have been someone from the city who was trying to put pressure on me, but I was asking from door to door, and no one admitted it. "Originally, it was all because of the destruction of the shop, but now that my door has been destroyed as well, we all no longer dare to stay in this city."

Fu Quan let out a heavy sigh as he finished speaking. He raised his head and looked at the broken entrance of the building. The expression on his face was like the dark clouds before the storm of August, which made Luo Liya and Wu Kong full of remorse.

It was as if the instability in River City was related to their insufficient efforts.

However, Wu Kong asked again, "Did you not seek help from the Imperial City?"

That's right, such a big thing had happened. Even if River City was deserted, with so many experts in the Royal Capital, how could they not be subdued?

"Hey!"

It was fine to not talk about the Imperial City, but the moment Fu Quan mentioned the Imperial City, the dark clouds on his face would turn into a storm.

"I don't know what it is."

Hearing the loyal Fu Quan mention Bi You's name, Luo Liya was shocked. She turned her head to look at Wu Kong and found that he was also puzzled.

"Bi You believed the words of the evil officials beside him. He believed that now that the Greenwood Kingdom and the Loess Kingdom have allied themselves with the Fire Nation, the Blue Water Nation cannot afford to offend the Fire Nation. Furthermore, we still haven't caught anyone from the Fire Nation, so he definitely won't allow us to send any troops! "

When Fu Quan mentioned Bi You, he even started panting heavily. His face turned pale, it seemed that he was extremely angry.

"What about my father?"

Although she vaguely felt that Bi You was unreliable, Luo Liya did not expect him to abandon the safety of his country. However, under these circumstances, what would happen to his father?

He looked into the distance as if he was seeing hope, and said, "Your father is a hero, and he is currently leading and listening to his soldiers in the most prosperous city, Luo City, garrisoned and defending. He has allocated all of his favorite disciples in every major city, not only to provide shelter for the surrounding refugees, but also to train his troops every day, vowing to protect the entire Jade Water Nation!"

When she heard Fu Quan's words, Lorya's reverence for her father grew even higher, but she soon became worried for him. "Isn't it obvious that he is disobeying the orders of Bi You?"

Wouldn't they be surrounded and attacked by him?

Luo Liya did not dare to say the rest of her words, but the worry in her heart rose to her throat.

Wu Kong walked up and tightly held her hand. "Rest assured, General knows what to do."

Wu Kong consoled, his gaze landed on Fu Quan, he knew that his words did not have any weight.

Fu Quan did not notice Wu Kong's gaze as he continued, "The supervising army took a huge risk this time."

Night quietly descended. At this moment, the night wind suddenly blew. Fu Quan pointed to the inside and said, "Let's talk inside."

The entire Blue Water Nation had been divided into two factions. One was the main faction, and the other was the main faction. This meant that they would have to compensate each other and become the captives of the Fire Nation. However, these people were willing to be captives. As long as they were not sent to fight on the front lines, it would be nothing more than losing money. The other faction was the main faction of war, and they were all courageous citizens of Clearwater. They were well aware of the disaster of submission, and even though they might still be living their old lives, the dignity and happiness of the common people could only be reduced. Therefore, they were willing to put their lives on the line to defend the dignity of their country.

Luo Yan and Chang Wuyou were the representatives of the Battle Faction, but unfortunately, among the important ministers, only the two of them participated. As a result, everything became complicated. Not only must their cities be on guard against the invasion of the Fire and Light Empire, but they must also be on guard against the pursuers of the Bi You Diao.

It could even be said that he was being attacked from the bottom of his heart.

"Then why are there people willing to go to them?"

Wu Kong was puzzled. Wasn't River City safer than Luo City?

"Because Commander Luo over there can bring hope to them."

Fu Quan had yet to speak, but Luo Liya brought him up and answered. Civilians normally only cared about their own interests, but in times of war, they knew who could protect them the best. River City seemed to be safe at the moment, but if the Fire Nation attacked, it would be impossible to protect it. However, Luocheng was different. As long as they were in the military, they would be able to resist for a longer period of time!

"Yeah."

Fu Quan glanced at Luo Liya in admiration. As expected, a tiger father doesn't have a dog son. He was about to praise her when he remembered that his son had not yet been found. His eyes couldn't help but dim.

The three of them were silent for a while, each with their own thoughts.

"Liya, you're back!"

Just at this moment, a woman in red flashed in through the door. She had no use for her head. Luo Liya knew it. It was Fu Dongming's mother, the Xu family.

He hurriedly wiped away the worry in his heart and immediately let out a smile, welcoming her, "Madam, how are you?"

Only now did the Xu notice that Wu Kong, who was standing beside Luo Liya, had not seen her in a long time. Why is this young man so handsome? There was a tendency to compare him to her son. No way, she had to ask her son what had happened between them.

Then he smiled and looked around, "Where's Ming'er?" Why didn't he come in? "

Hearing his wife mention his son's name, Fu Quan looked up at her. He opened his mouth to explain, but didn't know what to say.

At this point, Luo Liya hurried to say, "We are separated in the Loess Kingdom, we will return first, they should be able to return very soon."

Faced with Fountain of Spring, Luo Liya could directly state Fu Dongming's current state. However, facing the Xu family who missed her son, she could not bear to tell them that they had been captured in the Country of Loess and sent to the State of Fire.

"Oh!"

The eyes of the Xu family dimmed. Presumably, their son and Luo Liya needed to discuss further.

However, just as she was about to turn around and leave, she suddenly heard a familiar cough at the door.

"Cough, cough."

A slight cough came from outside the house. Luo Liya and Wu Kong hadn't heard it clearly, but Mrs Xu had already jumped in joy, "Little Liya, you lied to me, right? My son is outside! "

Looking at the originally gloomy Xu family, suddenly becoming excited and on the verge of jumping out of the door, Fu Quan hurriedly stopped her, "Madam, don't worry. Your son won't be able to return for a few days."

"He's in the yard."

With a smile, Lady Xu pushed Fu Quan away, turned around and walked into the courtyard.

"Ming'er!"

There was no light in the courtyard. The Xu family had left in too much of a hurry and had forgotten to lift the lamps. They could only shout out loud.
