Li had just pushed open the door to her bedroom when she was met with a pair of familiar, joy-filled eyes.
Nobody had really died!
Li's heart relaxed considerably. Seeing the smile on her mother's face, she walked over excitedly and grasped her slightly rough hands, speechless for a long time.
She had almost lost the chance to see her mother again.
The silver-haired Qiufeng, stroking Li's delicate face with emotion, noticed the hint of gold sparkling in her daughter's eyes. A flash of pity crossed her own eyes, and she squeezed out a smile, saying:
"The Arcane Master of the Bay Territory has specially recruited you. You must perform well and not let down his kindness for saving your life."
Li understood the hidden meaning in her mother's words. Thinking of the lightning that had cut through the darkness and the transformation of the entire fishing island, she smiled and comforted her mother:
"I understand, don't worry. I will certainly do my best."
