149: Section 149
Chu Mo was somewhat surprised, but his expression remained calm. He bowed to Mystic Prime Saint Lord and said, "Greetings, Mystic Prime Saint Lord!"
When Chu Mo entered,
Mystic Prime Saint Lord had been observing Chu Mo.
Seeing his imposing demeanor, extraordinary and refined appearance, and transcendent movements as if he were an immortal, with eyebrows as faint as clear snow, not resembling a mortal, his heart was filled with joy.
Although he wanted to form a marriage alliance to alleviate the current situation of the Vermilion Bird Divine Dynasty,
He also didn't want his future son-in-law to be incompetent, which would push his daughter into a fiery pit.
And now,
Upon seeing Chu Mo's graceful bearing with his own eyes, he immediately felt satisfied.
Although he still didn't know his Heart-Nature, just by looking at this demeanor, he knew it would definitely not be bad.
"Quasi-Saint Child, there's no need for such courtesy!"
With thoughts swirling in his mind, Mystic Prime Saint Lord smiled and said, "Although I had long heard that Quasi-Saint Child's appearance and bearing were unparalleled, only by seeing it with my own eyes now do I realize it's true. Indeed, his great reputation is well-deserved."
"Mystic Prime Saint Lord is too kind!"
Chu Mo said politely, then curiously asked, "May I ask why Mystic Prime Saint Lord has come to Taichu Holy Land to find me?"
"Naturally, I've come to form a marriage alliance with you!"
Mystic Prime Saint Lord said with a smile.
"Marriage alliance?"
Chu Mo raised an eyebrow.
"My daughter, Wei Yaoguang, has been smitten with you ever since she saw you in the Void Tomb. These days, she can barely eat or sleep... There's nothing I can do. As a father, for my daughter's sake, I had no choice but to personally come to Taichu Holy Land to seek a marriage for my daughter!"
Mystic Prime Saint Lord finished speaking.
He then looked at Chu Mo and smiled, "Although my daughter Yaoguang is not considered a top Prodigy in this world, she is still very remarkable, and she has a beautiful appearance and broad knowledge. If she can form a marriage with Quasi-Saint Child, it would be a wonderful story... I just don't know what you think?"
After listening to Mystic Prime Saint Lord's words, Chu Mo was immediately stunned.
He never expected that the other party's special visit to him was actually for a marriage alliance!
Wei Yaoguang.
He had some impression of her.
Her talent and strength were indeed remarkable, and her appearance was also excellent. Among the many women Chu Mo knew, she could rank among the top, no less than Su Lian Yue, Ling Baishuang, or Zhao Chan.
However...
As for Wei Yaoguang being smitten with him at first sight, that was just something to hear and dismiss.
The most likely reason was that Mystic Prime Saint Lord saw his promising future and thus wanted to form a marriage alliance with him, so that in the future he could have Taichu Holy Land, a top power, as an aid.
Chu Mo understood in his heart, and then couldn't help but look at the Sect Master.
He wanted to know if this marriage alliance was solely Mystic Prime Saint Lord's idea, or if the Sect Master also had this intention.
This concerned his decision.
Feeling Chu Mo's gaze, the Sect Master smiled slightly and said, "This Seat is merely a matchmaker for Mystic Prime Saint Lord and you. As for how to choose, it's up to you!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Chu Mo immediately understood.
He looked at Mystic Prime Saint Lord, who had an expectant expression and was waiting for his answer, and smiled, "Princess Yaoguang's affection is truly a fortunate thing, however... after all, I haven't had much contact with Princess Yaoguang, and we don't understand each other yet. Discussing a marriage alliance at this time might be a bit premature!"
His words contained a hint of refusal.
"That's alright!"
Mystic Prime Saint Lord listened, and his expression remained unchanged. He still smiled calmly and said, "Since you don't know each other well, you can have more contact to deepen your understanding! If it truly comes to fruition in the future, it wouldn't be a bad story."
"This..."
Chu Mo hesitated.
At this moment, Elder Qu, who had been silent, spoke up, "Since Mystic Prime Saint Lord has already said so, I think Chu Mo, you can agree to it. Try to get to know each other first, and whether it works out or not can be discussed later!"
"Very well!"
Chu Mo nodded and said, "Since that's the case... then thank you, Mystic Prime Saint Lord, for your kindness!"
It's just a matter of getting to know each other, so as not to continue refusing and offend Mystic Prime Saint Lord, causing him embarrassment.
When Mystic Prime Saint Lord heard this, a smile immediately appeared on his face.
"That's good!"
"Coincidentally, the Sword Tournament of Various Sects will begin soon. At that time, you two young people can have more contact and cultivate your feelings."
He instructed with a smile.
Chu Mo naturally nodded.
Afterward, he chatted with Mystic Prime Saint Lord for a few more moments. Perhaps having achieved his purpose for this trip, he then bid farewell and left.
The Sect Master personally saw him off.
In the hall, only Elder Qu and Chu Mo remained.
With no outsiders present, Chu Mo couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart.
Why would a dignified Saint Lord travel thousands of miles personally for a marriage alliance, just to see a junior like him?
Hearing this,
Elder Qu immediately smiled.
"You don't know, the Vermilion Bird Divine Dynasty currently has some internal and external troubles. He wants to form a marriage alliance to use the prestige of Taichu Holy Land to suppress the internal and external worries of the court, and also to find an heir!"
"Apart from Wei Yaoguang, among the other princes and princesses of the Vermilion Bird Divine Dynasty, there are no outstanding juniors. If he cannot find a strong helper, after he goes into seclusion, the Divine Dynasty will have no successor, and it might become somewhat unstable!"
"That's why he has taken a liking to you!"
At this point, Elder Qu glanced at Chu Mo and smiled, "In my opinion, this can be considered a rare good thing!"
"Although the Vermilion Bird Divine Dynasty has troubles, they are ultimately minor issues. As long as you can form a marriage alliance with them, all hidden dangers will vanish instantly. And the Vermilion Bird Divine Dynasty has a profound foundation, no less than a Holy Land. If you form a marriage alliance with them, you will gain immense assistance in the future!"
"Of course..."
"How to choose in this matter primarily depends on you!"
"If you are interested, then interact more with that Princess. If you are not interested, just decline, and I reckon Mystic Prime Saint Lord won't have any objections to you."
These words truly spoke of an old and wise statesman.
Chu Mo listened and couldn't help but nod.

Afterward, Chu Mo chatted with Elder Qu for a while longer, then prepared to take his leave.
However,
Just before he left, he was called back by Elder Qu.
"Elder, is there anything else you wish to instruct?"
Chu Mo asked.
"No instructions, but the Sword Tournament of Various Sects in the Eastern Domain will begin in a month. The top three Quasi-Saint Children in the Holy Land are still cultivating in the Ancient Domain, so it has been decided to send you, Gu Ruochen, Qian Xuanzhen, and Xiao Bufan to participate!"
"During this time, you should prepare well. When the tournament comes, fully display your strength to enhance your reputation as a Prodigy and uphold the prestige of the Holy Land!"
Elder Qu said with a smile.
"Elder, rest assured, I am determined to win this Sword Tournament of Various Sects!"
Chu Mo immediately said, his words filled with strong confidence.
Since he had decided to be invincible among his peers, he naturally intended to sweep through the Sword Tournament of Various Sects and claim first place.
"That's good!"
Hearing these words, Elder Qu nodded in satisfaction.
He was quite confident in Chu Mo's strength.
Although his rise had been short, his talent and strength were both remarkable, and his Heart-Nature was also extraordinary. Given time, he might not necessarily secure the Saint position, but he had a good chance.
He thought highly of him.
Seeing that Elder Qu had no other instructions, Chu Mo bid farewell and left.
He descended the mountain, took a teleportation array, and went directly to the Sword Dismantling Pavilion at the mountain gate.
"Greetings, Quasi-Saint Child!"
"Greetings, Quasi-Saint Child Chu Mo!"
"Quasi-Saint Child Chu Mo, why do you have time to come to the mountain gate today? Is it perhaps because you need to go out? Do you have any instructions? I will definitely do my best!"
There were many Disciples and deacons coming and going at the mountain gate. Upon seeing Chu Mo, they all bowed.
Some Elders even stepped forward with smiles, greeting him.
