Chu Mo thought to himself, the Lu Family indeed has a deep background!

Soon, Chu Mo arrived at the south side of Jinxiu City accompanied by Lu Tian.

As they passed by a mansion with a funeral shrine, Lu Tian casually remarked, "This is the Xiong Family's home. They were quite a large family here in Jinxiu City. But just last night, over a hundred of their members were murdered in one night, how tragic."

Chu Mo glanced at Lu Tian: "Was something this big happening without the Lu family knowing anything about it?"

Lu Tian seemed startled, and with a bitter smile, he looked at Chu Mo, "Young Master Chu, don't assume such reckless conjectures. We of the Lu Family are decent people. The events of last night were already too many. After our master returned, he has been comforting the young miss. Actually, we should also thank Young Master Chu…"

"Thank me?" Chu Mo felt somewhat confused and glanced at Lu Tian.

At that moment, Chu Mo looked out the carriage window to see the mourning Xiong Family. Several of the Xiong women, dressed in mourning clothes, glared fiercely with hatred, upon seeing the Lu Family's carriage pass by. Chu Mo shifted his gaze back to Lu Tian.

Lu Tian, however, didn't look outside but said with a touch of emotion, "Our young miss has always been rather boyish from a young age, so much so that our family even suspected she was born in the wrong body. As she got older, her manners and actions continued to diverge from those of a typical girl, much to her father's frustration. But he could never come up with a good solution, so he just let it be. The incident last night might have scared her, but it was the first time she truly behaved like a girl since birth. So our master is both distressed, and somewhat delighted."

Lu Tian glanced at Chu Mo, "So this matter honestly owes much to Young Master Chu."

"Hehe…" Chu Mo smirked, "Elder Lu really has a way with words."

Lu Tian shook his head with a smile, "It's not about me having a way with words, it's more about the young miss never having faced real hardships in her life. Facing a bit of adversity might be good for her; it could prevent her from causing bigger troubles in the future. This time she met you, Young Master Chu, who is broad-minded. But what if she meets someone else? Her temperament could definitely lead her to real trouble. Wouldn't that be even worse?"

Chu Mo only chuckled without continuing the conversation. Whatever about being broad-minded, it was all nonsense. If the Lu Family had not been so unsure about his background, they probably would have picked a fight with him last night.

Even if this was all caused by Lu Tianqi's arrogance, he, Chu Mo, would have been the unfortunate one in the end.

Therefore, he never buys into such sweet talk.

Soon they arrived at the Lu Family's home.

The Lu Family Head, Lu Zheng, was standing outside to greet them with a group of people.

Lu Zheng certainly knew how to show Chu Mo face.

Upon seeing Chu Mo alight from the carriage, Lu Zheng greeted with a laugh, "Welcome Master Chu to my humble residence." He then saluted Chu Mo with a fist.

"Family Head Lu, no need to be so polite." Chu Mo returned the gesture.

It was at this moment that Jin Family's carriage also arrived. Jin Dongnan, seeing the two men, came over with a jovial greeting.

Afterwards, all three entered the Lu mansion with a polite exchange of gestures.

They quickly arrived at the Lu family's guest hall and sat down according to their roles.

Lu Zheng looked intently at Chu Mo and said earnestly, "When I returned last night, I scolded my girl once again. For all the trouble she has caused Master Chu, I apologize once more!"

Chu Mo waved his hand, "Family Head Lu, there's no need for this, it was just a misunderstanding. Besides, since I arrived here, I had been taken care of by Family Head Jin. I must give him face."

Jin Dongnan laughed joyously at the side, "We're all friends here, there's no need for formalities. Now that the misunderstanding is resolved, we're all friends!"

Just as Chu Mo was about to speak, a woman dressed in white with high bun, pretty face, and eyes colder than ice, entered the room. Her gaze was even colder when it landed on Chu Mo.

Lu Zheng frowned when he saw the woman, "Tianyue, why are you here?"

"If I didn't come, my sister would have been bullied to death!" The woman's voice was clear and pleasant. After speaking, she coldly glanced at Chu Mo, "Kid, you're the one who bullied my sister? What's your sect? You're so arrogant."

"Tianyue!" Lu Zheng's face flushed with anger, his voice charged with rigor, "Leave!"

"Father! Did he trick you with his sheer nonsense? Do you believe him that much? Our Lu Family's methods, passed down for many generations, refined by countless ancestors, have no issues whatsoever. Why would there be a problem when it comes to you? This woman seemed somewhat annoyed, "It's clear he's nothing more than a little con man, here to deceive you. Bullying my sister and wanting to be a VIP guest of the Lu Family… he's dreaming!"

"Didn't you hear me when I asked you to leave?" Lu Zheng sternly said, his face suggesting real anger.

Chu Mo, however, had a calm face and was looking at the white-clothed woman, similar in appearance to Lu Tianqi, with amusement.

Initial stage Golden Core, Ninth-level constitution!

This woman is a bonafide prodigy for the cultivators of the Spirit Realm!

Chu Mo silently commended from the heart.

The white-clothed woman, Lu Tianyue, didn't leave. She stood there, challengingly glaring at Chu Mo, scoffing, "Don't think it's so easy to deceive, I'm going to expose you today, and then I'll apologize to my father!"

Upon hearing this, Jin Dongnan secretly told Chu Mo, "Lu Tianyue, Lu Tianqi's sister and the direct disciple of the head of Lingdong Mountain! She is the unrivaled pride of the Lu family. Recently, she returned from Lingdong Mountain for a family visit. Chu, don't bother arguing with her…"

Lingdong Mountain?

Chu Mo thought for a bit.

Having been in the Spirit Realm for some time now, Chu Mo understood a little about the sects of the Spirit Realm.

There are three formidable sects within a hundred-thousand mile radius, known as the 'three spirits'. They are the Lingyue Sect, Lingdong Mountain, and Lingshui Hall!

According to legend, the founders of these three sects were once brothers, mentored by the same master. When their master ascended, they each established their own sect.

Though these three sects watch over each other and there is a bit of competition among them, they stand united when faced with problems.

Lu Tianyue, being so young and already the direct disciple of Lingdong Mountain's sect leader, was undoubtedly a significant figure within this hundred-thousand mile radius.

Chu Mo did not really believe that Lu Tianyue had simply barged in unintentionally, even though Lu Zheng seemed quite outraged.

He just smiled and asked Lu Tianyue, "How did I con anyone?"
