Faced with Di Qiu'er's request,
Meng Hongchen glanced at the two of them in turn.
She smiled faintly. "No problem."
Having received her permission, Di Qiu'er said to Chen Mo, "Xiao Mo, come with me."
Soon, the two of them reached the corridor outside.
Seeing how secretive Di Qiu'er was being, Chen Mo couldn't help asking, "Qiu'er, what did you want to talk to me about?"
"I'm leaving."
Di Qiu'er stopped and lowered her head as she spoke.
Chen Mo immediately understood what she meant by "leaving."
He paused as he spoke. "You're... going back to the Star Dou Great Forest?"
"That's right."
"I've been away for a long time now."
"By my reckoning, Di Tian and the others will soon wake from their slumber. I have to get back before they wake up."
"If they wake up and find me missing, they might very well think humans hunted me down and launch a war against the human world."
Di Qiu'er was somewhat downcast.
During her time living at the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy,
she had grown completely accustomed to the place.
Now that she had to return, her heart was filled with reluctance to leave.
Of course, the person she was most reluctant to leave was Chen Mo.
For some reason,
she had a special feeling for Chen Mo in her heart.
Yet she didn't know how to express it.
Chen Mo asked again, "When do you think you'll leave?"
"Probably a month or two after the tournament ends," Di Qiu'er promptly answered.
"A month or two..."
Upon learning when Di Qiu'er would leave,
Chen Mo murmured to himself.
If I remember correctly,
Qiu'er seemed to have returned to the Star Dou Great Forest around this time in the original story.
