"Your reason seems a bit contrived."
Mo Li said with a smile as he looked at Hua Yiyou. He bore no grudge, and Hua Yiyou returned the smile, saying
"What about you and Zi Mo? How do you see it?"
"Me?"
After a moment of silence, Mo Li let go of his smile and sighed before replying,
"Indeed, to me, Zi Mo is like a brother I can rely on..."
"Isn't that the case... If it could help you, it would surely do a better job than me."
Seeing Hua Yiyou a bit disheartened, Mo Li said with a smile,
"Don't talk about the impossible; I will still need your help in the future."
Hua Yiyou cracked a slight smile and said,
"Now that I'm out, I naturally won't hide my light under a bushel. However, there seems to be constant trouble recently in Great Li City."
"What's happening?"
Hua Yiyou looked at Mo Li seriously and said,
"Though I haven't received any messages from the spies, I've heard from Feng Yuan that the temples around Great Li City seem less willing to be restrained."
