Heaven Slaying Blade

Chapter 1144: The Gap


After arriving at the restaurant, Chu Mo found out why Chu Qing hadn't continued to wait for him outside. As it turned out, upon entering, Chu Qing had intentionally walked extremely slowly, with the aim of waiting for Chu Mo as she went. However, she hadn't anticipated that the Chu Family cultivators who had entered before her would run into some trouble, which she had been forced to hurry and deal with.

Chu Mo, to this day, still didn't understand how large the Heavenly Realm's Chu Family really was. From what he could gather speaking with others, the Chu Family seemed to be in decline, yet their foundation from the past remained, their connections far-reaching, and the number of related families was quite substantial. Therefore, even though the Chu Family seemed sparse and on the brink of twilight in the Heavenly Realm, in reality, there were very few cultivators or families who dared to confront the Chu Family face to face.

People like Long Qiushui and Kong Hongyi, at most, would only talk big, enjoying the sensation of running their mouths. If they were to actually go to war with Chu Qing, they would need to think it over carefully.

"Is the situation serious?" Chu Mo looked at Chu Qing and asked.

"It's nothing now, just a little trouble, all taken care of," Chu Qing replied with an understated smile.

But Chu Mo knew that if someone from the family had to come to find her, it definitely wasn't a trivial matter. Since it was resolved, though, he didn't feel it was right to pry any further. After all, he wasn't truly integrated into the Chu Family yet. His status remained somewhat awkward.

It was because Chu Mo didn't know whether the rest of the Chu family shared Chu Qing's friendly attitude toward him.

It wasn't that Chu Mo was being overly sensitive, but rather, he needed to be cautious. Particularly with the older generation of the Chu Family, seals had been placed within their bodies, and should they mention him, it would be sensed by the prominent figures in the Luotian Immortal Domain. That could lead to an immense calamity.

Chu Mo certainly didn't want to suddenly face a young supreme being at this juncture.

Not only would that bring disaster upon himself, but it would also harm his relatives. If that were to happen, Chu Mo would rather stay away from the Chu Family, even from Chu Qing.

"Let's talk about you," Chu Qing said softly, looking at Chu Mo. "What exactly happened?"

Chu Mo feigned ignorance, "Which matter is sister referring to?"

Chu Qing rolled her eyes, "Which matter do you think I'm referring to? All of it! Tell me everything that's happened!"

Chu Mo really wasn't used to this feeling. Because, for a long time, he had been carrying everything on his own. Now, having someone step forward to share the burden made him feel at a loss.

"Speak up, you can't bear everything by yourself," Chu Qing said gently, her voice filled with concern. "Let bygones be bygones. Even if I had wanted to help, I would have been powerless, but now it's different. You're in the Heavenly Realm now; you're by my side. No matter what happens, I hope you remember that you have a sister!"

Chu Mo nodded, gave a slight smile, and roughly recounted the events that occurred after he entered the heavenly road to Chu Qing, but he omitted the matter of the woman in black.

Chu Qing didn't press the issue right away, as she had roughly figured out the identity of the woman in black from Yiyi's description and arrived at the same conclusion as Yiyi. Given Chu Mo's deep sorrow, something must have happened to the Elf princess. However, if Chu Mo didn't mention it, it wasn't proper for them to continue questioning it.

However, Chu Mo did offer his opinions on the other matters.

"As for the remnants of Blood Demon Ancestor's forces, once I leave the heavenly road, I'll immediately contact people to eradicate them. These people, like insects burrowed deep within the earth, have been hiding in dark corners for so many years; it's time to eliminate them."

"The Zhuge Family... Since we're already enemies, there's nothing more to say. Let Yiyi handle this matter for you."

Yiyi nodded beside him, "No problem."

Chu Mo shook his head, refusing, "I'll resolve this matter myself. The Zhuge Family is no pushover, not so easily dealt with. If you all make a move, I'm afraid the shockwaves might affect the entire Cultivation Realm of the Heavenly Realm. By dealing with it myself, I can greatly diminish the scale of the conflict."

While he spoke, Chu Mo glanced at everyone, "Moreover, I'm not so easily suppressed by them."

Chu Qing looked at Yiyi, who smiled and said, "You call the shots."

Chu Qing: "..."

Even Chu Qing found Yiyi somewhat enigmatic; she knew about the engagement. Yiyi had always resisted that marriage arrangement, even bluntly stating in her presence, "I'd marry anyone in this lifetime but your brother!"

Yes, at that time, Yiyi didn't even know Chu Mo's name.

She didn't take issue with Chu Mo; she simply didn't want to be the victim of a political marriage.

Despite elders stating that marrying that man would be the greatest opportunity of her life, that she wouldn't be a sacrificial piece in a marriage alliance, Yiyi couldn't accept it back then.

"When did this girl change her mind?" Chu Qing's eyes swept back and forth between Yiyi and Chu Mo, her smile suggesting she was quite pleased with Yiyi becoming her brother's wife.

Chu Qing then said, "Let's set aside the issue of the Zhuge Family for now. I see that Kong Hongyi and Long Qiushui also hold deep grudges against you, and the families behind them are incomparable to the Zhuge Family. How about this, I'll let someone speak to the elders of those two families later. These are grievances between the younger generation."

Yiyi now spoke seriously, "The Peacock Clan is slightly weaker, as long as you don't really slay the Peacock, they probably won't react too strongly. But the Long Family... indeed poses some trouble."

"Yes, Long Qiushui counts as one of the most outstanding among the young members of the Long Family. Having been repeatedly defeated this time, I fear some of the Long Family's elders can't sit idly by," Chu Qing said with a glint of coldness in her eyes, "They are known to be particularly protective of their own. We must be wary of this."

Yiyi looked intently at Chu Mo and said solemnly, "Your previous defeat of Long Qiushui dealt him a tremendous blow. That man is not as broad-minded as Qi Bo; from his actions today, it's clear he intends to harm you."

Chu Mo nodded, "Don't worry, I'll be extra cautious."

At this moment, Chu Qing slightly furrowed her brows, "Speaking of Qi Bo, their Qi Family... seemed to have some connection with that Blood Demon Ancestor years ago."

Yiyi narrowed her beautiful eyes, pondering for a moment before speaking, "Now that you mention it, there does seem to be something of that nature. However, the connection shouldn't be deep. And the Qi Family has been very low-key in recent years, not flaunting themselves, so their reputation in the Heavenly Realm remains quite good."

Chu Qing stated, "I hope they do not deceive themselves. If they truly believe that the Chu Family has declined and that they can bully the descendants of the Chu Clan with impunity, they will pay a heavy price."

Hu Lie and Yue Qingcheng sat quietly at the side, both feeling a sense of trepidation.

Two exceptional daughters of top families sat there, casually critiquing the major clans of the Heavenly Realm with an air of nonchalance. What is called confidence? This is it!

Only when one reaches a certain level does one realize that fairness is a fallacy in this world. Some people are born as Heavenly Geniuses; not only are they outstanding themselves, but their family heritage is also daunting. Their starting point might already be the ultimate goal that countless others dream of attaining in a lifetime.

Hu Lie smiled bitterly in his heart: This... is the disparity!
