"Very well."
A calm voice drifted out from the depths of Red Leaf Valley.
And with that, the battle was finally over.
The Ou Family elder didn't linger, taking Ou Lingshan with him as he departed.
Before leaving, Ou Lingshan called out, "Mu Yuanchen, you'd better come to the Ou Family for a rematch soon! If you take too long, I'll have already reached Core Formation!"
"Of course. Take care, Daoist Ou."
Li Chang'an smiled and cupped his hands in a farewell gesture.
In the blink of an eye, the two from the Ou Family vanished over the horizon.
The moment Li Chang'an turned around, he was met by the sight of the beaming Patriarch, Mu Chengsong.
Mu Chengsong laughed heartily. "Yuanchen, well done! I see I've underestimated you!"
He strode forward and clapped Li Chang'an firmly on the shoulder, his aged eyes filled with relief and satisfaction.
He had watched the entire battle unfold.
At first, he had been somewhat worried.
But now, all he felt was joy and relief.
