"Alright, you three should get going too. I'll probably be busy tonight," Chen Mo said with a smile.
Ouyang Nan nodded and said nothing more. Everything that needed to be said had already been said. He led Ouyang Nana and Ouyang Ruo Xi onward.
After taking a few steps, Ouyang Ruo Xi suddenly turned and ran back, throwing her arms around Chen Mo. "A Mo, be careful of the Strange Beasts. Don't try to take them head-on. If you can't handle it, retreat to the hills immediately. Your safety comes first."
"Mm. I'll listen to you. I'll definitely be careful," Chen Mo said with a smile, gently patting her back.
"Remember, you absolutely must remember. I'll be waiting for you." Ouyang Ruo Xi's eyes were slightly red. Though she did not want Chen Mo to stay here, she also knew she could not persuade him otherwise. All she could do was remind him a little more. A man had his own things to do, and all she could do was support him from behind.
Hearing Ouyang Ruo Xi's words and seeing the tears welling in her eyes, Chen Mo nodded heavily and agreed.
"Go on. You need to be careful too," Chen Mo said.
"Mm!" Only then did Ouyang Ruo Xi turn and leave, though she kept looking back at him from time to time. It truly made him want to stay by her side. But when he thought of what he needed to do tonight, he could only harden his heart and resolve to spend more time with her later.
Chen Mo did not rush to get to work. Instead, he flashed onto a large rock by the gorge, sat down cross-legged, and watched Ouyang Ruo Xi and the others depart.
Partly, he wanted to see Ouyang Ruo Xi
