At the same time, many figures had also arrived.

Top masters from the Jin, Hong, and Lu Families… Almost all gathered here. They made an impressive crowd, at least two or three hundred people!

Everyone present stared dumbfounded at the tall figure under the large tree on the street below, as well as the slightly petite figure standing opposite him.

Lu Tianqi of Lu family, a rare gem who appears once in hundreds of years, had been subdued by a martial artist at the initial stage with just one move?

Everyone hardly dared to believe their eyes.

Including Jin Dongnan who had just arrived in time. Watching this scene, a glimmer of delight flashed in his eyes, it was indeed just as he had expected. This young man, he has an unimaginable background! With his innate talent, he actually fought and won against two Foundation Establishment peak monks.

Moreover… he won so effortlessly and decisively!

Two Foundation Establishment peak monks were utterly helpless against him, as if they were just immature children.

Lu Tianqi, who had never experienced such shock and humiliation since childhood, felt like her seemingly strong heart would crumble in an instant. With a 'wa' sound… she burst into tears.

Chu Mo's lips twitched, thinking to himself, 'is that supposed to be manly? Pah!'

"Young Master Chu… it's a misunderstanding, don't act impulsively. This is Lu Tianqi, the little princess of the Lu family, not an outsider!" Jin Dongnan knew it was his time to step in! He was fully confident in Chu Mo. He was sure that Chu Mo wasn't stirring things up here to ruin the reputation in front of the public.

If it were any other time, even if Jin Dongnan treated Lu Tianqi as a little princess, Lu Tianqi would get angry and protest that she is Young Master Lu not a little princess. But now, Lu Tianqi was completely scared, she had no thoughts to quibble over such things, tears filled her eyes as she sobbed. With none of the grace and elegance of Young Master Lu left, she was just like a scared little girl.

Lu Zheng, a Golden Core stage cultivator, had his eyelids twitching, and flew down from the sky, looking at Chu Mo. In a deep voice, he said: "Let go of my daughter!"

Great, he didn't even call her Tianqi…

"You say let go and I should let go?" Chu Mo cast a cold glance at Lu Zheng: "You think you are amazing just because you are Golden Core stage cultivator? The internal injury in your body is surging. If you keep acting recklessly, within three years, you will explode and die!"

"What... did you say?" The thought that had originally been hovering in Lu Zheng's mind was how to get his daughter out of Jin Dongnan's grasp and save her, right now owing Jin Dongnan a huge favor just seemed too costly a command.

When he heard Chu Mo's words, however, it was like a punch to the face, leaving him dazed! His internal injuries were hidden so well that not even Lu Tianqi, his daughter, knew about them. How on earth did this young man know? Lu Zheng felt as though he had fallen into an ice cellar—his body was icy cold.

"You know what I'm talking about. If you want to stay alive, then think carefully about your next move!" Chu Mo icily said. Then, his gaze drifted towards Jin Dongnan who stood next to Lu Zheng. His face softened slightly and he nodded his head faintly: "Family Head Jin, you say this was a misunderstanding?"

"Yes, of course! It was a misunderstanding, Young Master Chu. These people here are not outsiders, Tianqi is still naive, please don't take it to heart. Technically speaking, she should be calling me uncle!" Jin Dongnan earnestly pleaded: "So, Chu, please keep your cool."

"Huh…" Chu Mo gave a cold chuckle, then looked at Lu Tianqi: "Is it a misunderstanding?"

At this point, Lu Tianqi saw that her people had arrived and although she felt utterly humiliated, she took a little courage. But the ice-cold blade against her neck kept her from arguing with Chu Mo. Upon hearing Chu Mo's words, she couldn't find the words to reply.

"You can't even say that? Then let me put it into words!" Chu Mo said coldly: "I, Chu, travel the world for experience and found my way here, where a few friends showed me respect. Before, I had some conflict with members of the Hong family, but they were wise and we resolved the issue quickly. But you, Lu Tianqi? A tiny girl with a stern look on her face, appeared unannounced at my door, bluntly asked me to attend a banquet at your Lu family tonight and left without another word. Is this how the Lu family invites guests? I had prior plans to attend a banquet at Jin family today and thus couldn't make it to yours. But as a result, you dispatched someone to cut off one of my hands… heh, you sure are bold! What makes you so arrogant? Besides, you—a girl dressed neither like a man nor a woman, insisting on being called Young Master Lu. You should look at yourself in a mirror, do you look like a young master? You are a hen that crows at dawn yet you are complacent, do you know your worth?"

Everyone present was taken aback by Chu Mo's words, their hair stood on end.

Several hundred people fell deathly silent. It was so quiet, you could hear a pin drop!

Hiding in the crowd, Jin Ming couldn't help giving a thumbs up and thought to himself: Damn, this is so freaking cool! Lu Tianqi who acts like a tomboy was finally given a taste of her own medicine!

At this moment, countless people shared Jin Ming's sentiments.

The name "Young Master Lu" had left a psychological scar on many young talents in Jinxiu City. Even many of the descendants of the Lu family had not escaped her wrath.

So, at this moment, as they watched her being scolded left and right, even some Lu family descendants felt a hidden sense of pleasure deep in their hearts.

Wa!

Lu Tianqi was stunned by Chu Mo's scathing words. She couldn't hold back her tears and began crying again.

Even the most intelligent people would find it hard to stay composed if they had never experienced real trials and tribulations.

A deep voice came from the darkness: "Hehe, Young Master Chu, you're being too harsh. She's just a child who doesn't know any better. Fortunately, Young Master Chu is magnanimous!"

A figure emerged from the darkness; it was the Family Head of the Hong Family, Hong Qiang.

Lu Zheng's eyelids continued to twitch, but his mind was thrown into chaos by Chu Mo's words. But he was the head of a large family, and soon managed to calm down. He stepped forward, gave Chu Mo a salute, and said, "My daughter knows no better and offended Young Master Chu. On her behalf, I, Lu Zheng, apologize!"

With that, Lu Zheng bowed deeply to Chu Mo.

"He's the Family Head of the Lu Family?" Chu Mo casually said, while looking at Jin Dongnan.

Jin Dongnan was practically beaming. He thought to himself: This Young Master Chu… he sure is clever! Such a refreshingly candid attitude! He nodded, "This is indeed the Family Head of the Lu family in Jinxiu City. Young Master Chu... considering our… ahem… amicable relations, could you do me a favor?"

Lu Zheng's face blushed and then turned green. The events that unfolded tonight had been deeply humiliating for the Lu family. But the thing that truly bothered him… were Chu Mo's earlier words.

Chu Mo hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "I arrived in Jinxiu City and received a warm welcome from Family Head Jin, so I will give you face for his sake!"

With that, Chu Mo withdrew Heaven Slaying, which had been held at Lu Tianqi's neck.

Lu Tianqi cried out wa wa and threw herself in Lu Zheng's arms, saying: "Daddy... he... he bullied me! Wuuu wuuu…"
