After Chu Mo left, he headed straight for the Gluttonous Pavilion, where he intended to see Gao Yingjun.

Gao Yingjun had been staying at the Gluttonous Pavilion these past few days.

To this big fellow, it was like a paradise on earth. Besides having his fill, he could also eat well here.

Gao Yingjun had never tasted such delicious food before. Combined with the respect he received from everyone here, his days at the Gluttonous Pavilion could be counted as the most comfortable he had ever had in his life.

But he didn't forgot why he was here. While he seemed naive, he was not foolish.

Upon hearing of Chu Mo's return, he was quite joyful and waited quietly for Chu Mo to come to him, aware that Chu Mo didn't like people who acted haughty and self-righteous.

Before entering the Gluttonous Pavilion, Chu Mo could plainly feel eyes watching from all around.

In his mind, Chu Mo sneered, knowing that those people were most likely from the royal family, who were probably worrying about this giant causing trouble here.

"You are all underestimating Yingjun and Chu Mo!" Chu Mo inwardly sneered, then stepped into the Gluttonous Pavilion.

After a year, he finally saw the big guy again.

"Yingjun!"

"Young Master!"

Seeing Chu Mo, the big guy was so excited that he was speechless. He even fumbled awkwardly when appraching Chu Mo, just like a child would do.

Liu Meier, the owner of the Gluttonous Pavilion who had rushed out upon hearing news of Chu Mo's arrival, was also taken aback by this revelation. It was her first time seeing this fearsome giant act so childishly.

These days, she had hardly dared to speak to him because she was aware that he belonged to Chu Mo, and therefore had just treated him with lots of good food and drink.

"Sister Meier, long time no see!" Chu Mo greeted Liu Meier with a smile, then said, "My brother here has inconvenienced you these days."

"Why would Young Master say so? It's our own affairs and it's no trouble at all! Moreover, Brother Gao has always been quiet, not even stepping out of the door..." Liu Meier responded gently, after giving Chu Mo a curtsy.

Chu Mo walked over and punched Gao Yingjun lightly in the stomach, teasing, "You've gained weight!"

"What? No I haven't! Young Master is joking!" Gao Yingjun widened his eyes in disbelief and retorted, "How could I have gained weight?"

"Yingjun..."

"Ahem... Young Master, just call me Big Fool…" Gao Yingjun hung his head, somewhat embarrassed, "It wasn't until I arrived here that I realized... I'm not handsome…"

"You're not ugly," Chu Mo replied.

"But I like when you call me Big Fool more," the big guy insisted, for some unknown reason.

"However, only you, Young Master, can call me that!" Gao Yingjun emphasized.

Chu Mo didn't particularly care about what names he used; nicknames were just identifiers.

"Fine, Big Fool it is. How do you like it here?" Chu Mo asked with a smile.

"Good! I like it here!" Big Fool replied earnestly.

"Hahaha, what do you say about staying here from now on? You can act as the guardian of this place and eat and drink as much as you want every day?" Chu Mo asked with a laugh.

"Young Master, are you... tired of me? You... don't want me anymore?" Big Fool looked at Chu Mo pitifully. His expression caused Liu Meier to chuckle. Before, Gao Yingjun had always been so serious that no one dared to speak with him.

Who would have thought that there would be such a stark contrast when he saw Chu Mo?

"Not at all, how could I get tired of you? I just want to give you the freedom to choose the life you want," Chu Mo said earnestly.

Big Fool was taken aback. Looking at Chu Mo, his eyes filled with emotion. "No matter where I am, if Chu Mo goes there, I will follow!" he declared unequivocally.

Despite the fact that Nayi, the Queen of the Prairie, treated him with great respect, in Big Fool's heart, the only person in the world who truly respected and understood him was Chu Mo.

So, even though he had obtained the title of Diamond Warrior and a high status in the Prairie, he decisively gave it up to follow Chu Mo.

And the result did not disappoint him!

Chu Mo's words: "I want to give you the freedom to choose the life you want..." almost moved the big guy, as emotional as he was, to tears.

Liu Meier, watching from the side, was also quite moved.

While Chu Mo was much younger than her, Liu Meier's heart was filled with the utmost respect for him.

And a hint of subtle affection.

At times, she herself could hardly detect this affection as it would subside shortly after surfacing.

She understood that she couldn't allow such feelings to develop!

Chu Mo always saw her as a sister, and didn't harbor other thoughts.

Most importantly, Xu Fufu had a crush on her!

Chu Mo and Xu Fufu were the best of friends!

Liu Meier did not want her presence to affect the relationship between these two good friends. That would certainly not be the outcome she desired.

So, all this time, she had kept her feelings buried deep in her heart.

However, Chu Mo was simply too outstanding, especially in this past year. The things he had accomplished were dazzling.

Compared to Chu Mo, Xu Fufu, though also outstanding, fell short.

Just as good birds choose good trees to nest in, women also prefer strong men. It's natural and there's nothing wrong with this.

The only regret might be that Liu Meier hadn't met Chu Mo first.

She had always been aware of this fact, so she didn't harbor any fantasies.

She knew that given her status and age, it was impossible for Xu Fufu to marry her as his main wife. Even if Xu Fufu himself was willing, the Xu Family, as well as she herself, would not agree!

Some things, when you don't touch them, they seem to be nonexistent. However, some things can touch the deepest part of a person's heart, causing pain and distress.

When Chu Mo said, "I want to give you the freedom to choose the life you want…"

Not only did it touch the big guy, but it also touched Liu Meier.

"To be able to frely choose your own life…" Liu Meier's eyes shimmered with anticipation as she murmured, "How wonderful that would be!"

Having heard this, Chu Mo couldn't help but look at Liu Meier, puzzled. "Sister Meier, what's the matter? Don't you like your current life?"

Liu Meier was slightly stunned at first, and then showed a gentle smile, "No, I enjoy my current life. I just feel that what Young Master said makes a lot of sense."

"Actually, Sister Meier, you don't need to worry too much. Fufu… How to put it? Although he's a bit of a flirt, he truly loves you. And you've always been free, it's only that you haven't realized it," Chu Mo said seriously while looking at Liu Meier. "So even if you say you want to leave today, I think he would be heartbroken and depressed but he wouldn't stop you."

Chu Mo, scratching his head, added, "I don't know much about matters of the heart, but I think he truly loves you!"

This statement struck Liu Meier like a thunderbolt, leaving her standing in shock.

Even long after Chu Mo and Gao Yingjun left, she still hadn't come back to her senses. (To be continued. If you like this story, please go to qidian.com to vote for it. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
