Smack!

Chu Mo knocked on Fang Lan's head and frowned, "What mentor's wives? Don't speak nonsense, they are all my friends!"

"Ow... that hurts!" Fang Lan rubbed her head vigorously, mumbling, "What's there to hide? If they're not mentor's wives, what could they be?"

"Girl, things really aren't what you think," Chu Mo seriously looked at Fang Lan, "In your heart, there's only Jin Ming, and similarly... in your mentor's heart, there's also only one woman. So, don't joke about this anymore in the future."

Fang Lan looked like a child who had done something wrong, her face full of embarrassment and her eyes slightly red, "Mentor, I'm sorry!"

"It's alright, just don't talk about this topic anymore," Chu Mo said with a slight smile and then added, "Later, I'll introduce them to you one by one; they are all very nice people."

"Mhm." Fang Lan became much more obedient, nodding gently, and followed behind Chu Mo without a fuss. Yet, in her heart, there was a bit of sweetness because she suddenly realized that after the mentor had returned, the first thing he did was to come to see her!

This showed that the mentor truly considered her family.

At this moment, Fang Lan was also at her most vulnerable, her emotions extremely sensitive. Otherwise, with her usual temperament, she wouldn't have made the joke she just did. Although it seemed like a joke, it was actually a sort of testing and... a bit of a rivalry for affection that she herself hadn't noticed.

Later on, Fang Lan met Miao Yi Niang and the others, and only then did she finally understand why her mentor forbade her from making such jokes in the future.

It turned out that among these ten people, except for Hua Sanniang and Shen Xingxue's mother Shen Aoshuang, who were obviously a couple, the rest were all stunningly beautiful women!

Even Miao Yi Niang's mentor, Shen Aobing, whom her mentor had introduced her to, looked so young and beautiful. Confronted with this group of peerless beauties, Fang Lan felt unprecedentedly self-conscious for a moment.

She had always felt that although she was not a peerless beauty, she wasn't far off, but compared to these people, the difference was clear.

Fortunately, the women were all very courteous to her, even a bit... doting!

Yes, doting!

Because they were all curious about what kind of disciple Chu Mo had taken on, whose praises he couldn't stop singing.

All the women knew that Chu Mo had many disciples, dozens in the Mortal Realm alone! But not many had received such continuous praise from him.

And this disciple he had taken on in the Spirit Realm was one he valued highly, so much so that the first thing he did after returning to the City Lord's Mansion and settling them in was to go see his own disciple.

After having seen her, everyone immediately liked this steady yet lively girl.

Most importantly, their seniority suddenly increased by a generation!

This feeling, it was completely different from being an elder in the Mortal Realm!

Even Qin Shi and Dong Yu felt this sensation was very pleasant, and the others all the more so, because to them, Fang Lan was an authentic cultivator from the Spirit Realm!

A cultivator from the Spirit Realm stood before Chu Mo, behaving obediently, and paid her respects to them. Everyone felt a hint of pride in their hearts.

"Hello little sister!" Hua Xiaoya approached Fang Lan, smiling and greeting her warmly.

"Uh..." Fang Lan felt a bit at a loss, her face blushing as she spoke softly, "Junior Master..."

"Aiya, don't call me Junior Master, just sister will do. We are not his junior sisters; he is our sect leader!" Hua Xiaoya cheerfully said, then taking Fang Lan's hand she added, "From now on, let's call each other sisters!"

Fang Lan immediately looked bewildered, seeking help from Chu Mo.

Chu Mo glanced at Hua Xiaoya and then somewhat helplessly said, "Just each call each other what works best."

"Heehee, that's how it should be, Master Chu!" Hua Xiaoya, like a little maidservant, curtsied to Chu Mo.

Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

After arriving in the Spirit Realm, Hua Xiaoya's temperament became even more outgoing. Among them, she was the one who could be the most playful, even more so than Dong Yu, who had always been lively.

Dong Yu wouldn't be left behind either, leaning over and saying, "I heard you're quite talented. Let's see who can reach the Primordial Infant stage first, what do you say?"

"Stop joking around, she's still a child," Chu Mo glared at Dong Yu and thought to himself, you're a princess from a great family in the Heavenly Realm, a cultivator at the Immortal grade of Foundation Establishment, and you want to compete with a little girl from the Spirit Realm? Aren't you ashamed?

But Dong Yu rolled her eyes and said, "I'm not joking. Who knows, she might even cultivate faster than me. Besides... Master Chu, it seems your esteemed self isn't but a few years older than your disciple, right?"

Qin Shi chimed in from the side, "He might even be younger."

"Mmm, the master's air is quite sufficient, even more stylish than mine back in the day," Shen Aobing unexpectedly added another quip from the side.

Chu Mo's mouth twitched instantly: "Why are you also..."

Shen Aobing gave a slight smile: "This is the Spirit Realm!"

Chu Mo was instantly speechless. He actually enjoyed seeing this kind of scene, much better than seeing both sides looking at each other with displeasure at first sight.

Soon after, a group of them gathered around Fang Lan, probing her about all sorts of experiences she had after separating from them. Although they had heard some from Chu Mo before, what Chu Mo had said was very general, and he had spoken very modestly about his own deeds.

Because Chu Mo didn't want to show off how amazing he was!

But the girls felt it wasn't enough; they wanted to hear about Chu Mo's deeds from the mouths of others.

At this moment, Lu Tianyue and Lu Tianqi, the sisters, also arrived upon hearing the news.

The girls finally met the legendary sisters, and after mutual introductions, they couldn't help but feel in their hearts that Master Chu was doing so much better than them in the Spirit Realm!

Unconsciously, the title "Master Chu" began to be called out by everyone in a muddle.

Apart from Hua Sanniang, He Feng, and Shen Aoshuang, even Shen Aobing wanted to join in the fun, calling Chu Mo "Master Chu" one after the other. This left Chu Mo feeling very helpless and speechless.

He thought to himself that she used to be the head of a major sect! Even if she had come to the Spirit Realm, surely she should have some dignity? Unfortunately, Shen Aobing didn't care about such things at all; it seemed she truly had completely forgotten her former self.

Her nature had become more and more like that of a mischievous young girl; perhaps, this was also a good thing for her.

Among the crowd, it was only Lu Tianqi who kept silent. After the women inadvertently called out the name "Master Chu," she fell silent. She would steal glances at Chu Mo from time to time, her eyes filled with complex and uncertain light.

Chu Mo had actually noticed Lu Tianqi's strangeness long ago, but what could he say at such a time?

In fact, by this point, Chu Mo's identity no longer needed to be concealed like before; he could completely revert to his true identity.

As for Jinxiu City, although it couldn't yet be considered entirely secure, with the Fire Dragon and Xiao Wanjun, Li Fangzhong anchoring it, it really feared no enemy attack.

However, these kinds of things often require a catalyst. Otherwise, it's deception.

Lu Tianyue naturally noticed her sister's odd behavior as well and was clearer than anyone about what was happening. So, while the women were busy preparing the meal, she quietly pulled her sister aside.
