"Master, I will manage the Little Nan Mountain Shop with peace of mind from now on, hoping to stay by your side forever."
Liu Wenbo had grown up in the Eastern Wilderness since he was a child. Although he was simple by nature, he had grown accustomed to seeing disciples who failed to break through their realm being dismissed by their masters, with the bond between them gradually fading until they never met again.
His decade on Little Nan Mountain had been the most carefree time of his life. Now, after failing at Foundation Establishment, he deeply feared that his relationship with Chen Mobai would fade away, which made him somewhat anxious.
"You're not even forty years old yet, and this attempt at Foundation Establishment didn't diminish your lifespan. You still have at least two more chances, so why be so disheartened? Just rest for a while, and wait until the next batch of Jade Marrow Golden Mushrooms is ready."
