Chu Mo, who had left with Gao Dasha, did not know that Xu Erfu had gone to the Gluttonous Pavilion, nor did he know about the happenings between them.

However, Chu Mo had long known about that Xu Erfu's desire to formally marry Liu Mei'er, previously the most famous courtesan. Even though Xu Fufu had never spoken directly about it, Chu Mo understood.

Otherwise, he would not have told Liu Mei'er that Xu Fufu genuinely loved her!

As for matters of status and identity, Chu Mo didn't really care. He believed that Xu Fufu, the astute fellow, would surely figure out many ways to resolve these issues.

The patriarch of the Xu Family was already a highly ranked official, no need to consolidate anything through the marriages of their descendants. Besides, even if such marriages were necessary, the Xu family would not lack a single Xu Fufu, for he was already the tenth young master… with nine others before him!

Furthermore, having a seemingly unconventional and unambitious person like Xu Fufu in the Xu family was actually a good thing.

At least, it could divert a significant share of enmity toward the Xu family!

If all members of this large family went into officialdom, assumed high-ranking positions, and excelled,

Then not even mentioning political enemies... even the emperor would likely be displeased.

'I am the emperor of Great Xia, yet all positions in the government are filled by your Xu family? So who exactly holds the true power?'

Such sentiment was something that even Xu Fufu could predict, so wouldn't these clever elders in the Xu family have considered this?

Then what's to be done? Someone has to attract some hatred. To show the world, that the Xu family isn't perfect… that there are some eccentric characters in their ranks.

This important task had ultimately fallen onto Xu Fufu.

Of course, this was something Xu Fufu was more than willing to take on.

Therefore, Xu Fufu, who was a genuine young master from a wealthy family, had been living a dissipative life in his own unconventional manner.

Seducing daughters of powerful officials, quarreling over jealousy in the courtesan house… his personal affairs were ever-changing, making countless people both love and hate him.

However, it also resulted in the attention that should have been on the other members of the Xu family to be on Xu Fufu instead. Everyone was waiting to see what shocking things this young man would do next.

Xu Fufu did not disappoint the crowd, as there were always endless topics of discussion about him.

The Xu family let him be, allowing him to grow freely like a weed in a clean garden, with no one daring to trim him.

So, Xu Fufu had long known that even without a valid reason, if he directly married Liu Mei'er, no one in the Xu family would say anything. At most, a few resentful branch family members would occasionally blurt out: "How can a courtesan join a prestigious family?"

But, none of them dared to say it to his face!

Otherwise, a top-tier expert like him would show them the difference between an expert's slap and an ordinary person's slap...

The reason why Xu Fufu told Liu Mei'er those words was to put her at ease.

He loved Liu Mei'er and didn't want her to look down on herself.

That was all.

Since Chu Mo was his brother, he was more than willing to help Xu Fufu out…

So even if Chu Mo knew about Xu Fufu's thoughts, he would accept them without hesitation and would not harbor any resentment.

The duo was pretty astute.

At this moment, Chu Mo was leisurely heading home with Gao Yingjun.

"Gao Dasha, why did you stop me from calling you Yingjun? I think you are pretty handsome." Chu Mo teased the towering lad along the way.

"Those people, they all see me as a ruthless thug, I don't feel like they regard me as handsome." Gao Dasha honestly replied, then a cunning glint appeared in his eyes and he chuckled, " Actually, I like it when you call me Gao Dasha, it feels more intimate!"

"Che..." Chu Mo rolled his eyes, as he began to understand Gao Dasha's thoughts and felt some sympathy for him.

This big guy had suffered so much in the Prairie and the Haoyue Tribe. Being manipulated by Elder Haoyue, whose hands held his life and death, he thirsted for vengeance but had no opportunity for it.

It could be said that Chu Mo gave him a second lease on life.

It wasn't an exaggeration to say that Chu Mo was his rebirth parents. Therefore, Gao Dasha had acknowledged Chu Mo as his lifetime's only master since then.

"Master, I have something I am unsure whether I should say or not." Gao Dasha hesitated.

"Go ahead. What could you possibly not be able to tell me?" Chu Mo glanced at Gao Dasha.

Gao Dasha scratched his head and said: "I feel that Princess Nayi truly likes you, or rather she loves you, as you just told Miss Liu Mei'er."

"Tch... You big guy, you haven't even held a girl's hand. What do you know about love?" Chu Mo grimaced.

Gao Dasha replied, "Although I don't know what love is, I can feel it. Whenever Princess Nayi mentions you, her expression... is just like when I think of my mother."

"What kind of analogy is that?"

"I can't really explain it, but I've seen her crying quietly several times." Gao Dasha said in a slow, honest manner: "Anyway, I think your figure is the only one in her heart, but you have deceived her."

"Hey, Gao Dasha, you need to be responsible for your words. How did I deceive her?" Chu Mo rolled his eyes at Gao Dasha.

Gao Dasha replied seriously: "You said your name was Lin Bai, but your real name is Chu Mo... isn't that deceiving her?"

Chu Mo explained, "At that time we had just met, I did not want my real identity to be revealed, and later... there was never an opportunity to clarify."

"Anyway, I feel that you cannot hide your true identity for much longer. She might come to you directly, what will you do then?" The towering Gao Yingjun expectedly said this, with a tinge of anticipation on his face.

"I suddenly realized, Yingjun... you might be better off going back to the Gluttonous Pavilion."

"Please no, master! If I don't mention this matter again, won't that be alright?" Gao Dasha looked terrified: "And, please call me Gao Dasha... it feels more intimate... it truly does!"

After returning to the Fan Residence, that night, Wang Dafa came to visit again.

As per Chu Mo's usual practice, he did not see him.

Without saying a word, Wang Dafa left a generous gift and left a little dejected.

However, Chu Mo introduced Gao Dasha to one-armed Uncle Sui Hongru and grandfather. Both Uncle and Grandfather appreciated this giant who was like an iron tower.

They were both men who had walked off the battlefield, so they could see the role this giant would play on the battlefield at a glance.

Eventually, Long Qiushui didn't have the nerve to move in directly. At the dinner table, Grandfather stuttered a bit to Chu Mo about his idea of holding a wedding.

"I want to... take your grandmother... into our family, *clears throat*... could you give some advice on this?"

Chu Mo looked at grandfather, unable to help a smile from appearing, as he thought, 'This old man falling in love in his old age is truly a sight more dazzling.'(To be continued.
