Heaven Slaying Blade

Chapter 860 The Smart Person's Choice


Chu Mo looked at the grandfather and grandson with an expressionless face, feeling the oppressive atmosphere in the banquet hall. He sighed lightly, stood up, and said, "Family Head Ping, you have succeeded, and this matter will be left in the past. But remember, if one day the Ping Family troubles someone close to me again, at that time, I will certainly not show mercy. Even if one day I leave the Spirit Realm, I will absolutely leave behind enough means here. I hope you… take good care of yourselves!"

Having said this, Chu Mo paid no further attention to the shocked gazes of the crowd and flashed out the door.

Then, he used the divine ability Shrinking Ground into Inches and, in the blink of an eye, had completely left the Ping Family.

In the banquet hall of the Ping Family, everyone looked at each other, stunned, and some even couldn't believe that Chu Mo had just left like that.

Apart from the unlucky Elder Ping Shu, the Ping Family had actually not suffered any other losses!

The tablets of their ancestors and the like had been hidden away long ago, and the spirit vein was still there!

This meant that the Ping Family had safely gotten through this calamity!

Is this… is this real?

Ping Ping also stood there, stunned, and muttered, "The Great Demon King left?"

"What Great Demon King?" Family Head Ping muttered a phrase before he came back to his senses. He fiercely glared at his granddaughter and sighed, shaking his head, thinking to himself: My beloved granddaughter, you just don't have that fortune!

With that thought, he said loudly: "You all saw it, you all heard it, right?"

In the banquet hall, everyone nodded, then looked at the family head.

Family Head Ping said, "Then remember Young Master Chu's words. Young Master Chu… is a man of true righteousness! From now on, my Ping Family is Young Master Chu's ally. Should anyone dare to harm Young Master Chu, they will be dealt with by family law! The favor we owed to the Blood Demon Ancestor for his grace, with that incident in Jinxiu City, can be considered repaid. From now on, my Ping Family has no further connection with the Blood Demon Ancestor!"

All the elders of the Ping Family felt as if they had escaped death at this moment and were full of mixed feelings.

This incident had served as an alarm bell for them. They believed that even if it did not completely change them, it would at least make them much more restrained in their behavior and conduct.

In any case, the Ping Family had gotten past this tribulation!

They no longer had to wait anxiously for misfortune to befall them, nor did they have to worry desperately about the direction of their fate.

At this moment, Ping Ping suddenly lifted her head, looked at her grandfather, and said softly, "Grandfather, if I leave the family, from now on, I might no longer be a part of the Ping Family, and I might not be able to help the Ping Family in any way anymore!"

Family Head Ping was slightly startled. Everyone in the hall was dumbfounded, staring blankly at Ping Ping.

One of Ping Ping's closest sisters couldn't help saying, "Ping Ping, have you lost your mind? You're not really going to become someone's servant, are you? This matter has passed! He has already spared the Ping Family, spared you; you mustn't deliver yourself to his doorstep!"

"Yes, Ping Ping, what's gotten into you? You are the most honored princess of the Ping Family!" a young man from the Ping Family also couldn't help but say loudly.

"Ping Ping, don't leave the Ping Family; you are an incomparably honored princess of the Ping Family, don't go!" someone pleaded.

But more people, especially the young and beautiful girls, were mostly silent at this moment. If before they each had their own thoughts, now, after the Ping Family had safely endured this crisis, their minds had only one thought.

Chu Mo... is really so handsome!

If possible, we too would wish to become one of the maids by his side!

Such a person, if not an enemy, who wouldn't want to stay by his side?

A Heavenly Genius in the Spirit Realm with a distinguished reputation, a genuine top-tier scion of a powerful lineage. It's said that many great figures in the Heavenly Realm are quite fond of him.

Now is his time of growth; he hasn't fully matured yet. As long as one can stay by his side, the future is bound to be Immeasurable!

All the princesses of the Ping Family are no fools; they are very clever.

However, it's a pity that Chu Mo doesn't fancy them. No matter how beautiful they are, he doesn't give them a second glance!

The rumors before about Chu Mo being lecherous... now it seems, are nothing but a huge joke!

Just because he has many girls around him, does that make him lecherous?

If he really were, even if he didn't bother with them, wouldn't he at least want Ping Ping?

Family Head Ping looked at Ping Ping and suddenly smiled, "Girl, have you really decided?"

Ping Ping replied softly, "Although we have survived this crisis, the price our Ping Family paid was too small. I am not at ease."

As soon as these words were spoken, the banquet hall, once somewhat noisy, fell into dead silence!

Ping Ping continued, "Look at the Ouyang Family, then at the Fire Sect, they are enough to prove that, although Chu Mo is not a true butcher, he is certainly not of a kind or soft-hearted sort. The reason he let us off so easily today is mainly because he is a kind person, and to some extent, our sincerity moved him, despite that sincerity being somewhat uncomfortable. But I have to admit, it indeed worked. However, that is not enough!"

"Oh? Tell me," Family Head Ping looked at his granddaughter with very kind eyes at this moment. He had naturally thought of these things long ago, but had not said them out loud. What he didn't expect was that his granddaughter also saw things so clearly.

Ping Ping said, "Just like what Chu Mo said, if he was weak, he would have died long ago. If those around him were weak, they... would have died long ago as well! And those who could have caused all this could very well be us! So this enmity, in fact, is not small at all! Even if he had demolished the entire ancestral land of the Ping Family and destroyed our Spirit Vein today, it actually wouldn't have been too much."

Family Head Ping nodded, and the others in the room all appeared reflective. In the end, they had to admit in their hearts that Ping Ping's words made sense.

"So, I am afraid," Ping Ping looked at her grandfather. "So, I want to seek complete peace of mind. I hope that everyone in our family will remember this lesson. I also wish for my family to be safe and sound forever!"

As she spoke, Ping Ping smiled, "Actually, if you think about it, it's not so bad. Being by the side of such a person and growing with him, I believe, is definitely more advantageous than not!"

"Isn't it much more than just advantageous?" Family Head Ping sighed lightly, "Even though I am reluctant to let you go, I have to admit that having a connection with Chu Mo is an incredibly good thing. Even if the Ping Family doesn't benefit much from it, at the very least, we can boast of having a true Heavenly Genius who can command the Heavenly Realm! It's worth it!"

This statement stunned all the direct descendants of the Ping Family that were present in the hall.

To command the Heavenly Realm!

For them, it was like a distant dream!

Ping Ping smiled and nodded, "If that day comes, I will definitely take care of our family!"

Just then, an elderly voice came from outside the door, "Little Ping Ping sees clearly and understands the principles. In the future, she will surely have an Immeasurable future, and it may be that the Ping Family will really need you to look after it someday. Go, and choose your own life."

"Great Ancestor!"

"Paternal Great Ancestor!"

"Greetings to the Great Ancestor!"

Immediately, everyone in the hall knelt down.

The person who walked in was the Elder of the Ping Family, who now looked reflective and didn't pay attention to everyone else, instead gazing at Ping Ping, "Just remember that you are a daughter of the Ping Family, that's enough!"

Ping Ping knelt down, her face serious, "I will remember!"
