40: Section 40

As a True Disciple of the Holy Land, his status was extremely high.

If they could befriend him and gain his protection, the Zhao Family's future would not only avoid decline but would become even more prosperous.

“Chuan'er, quickly take True Disciple Chu to his lodging! You must take careful care of him and not neglect him in any way!”

Zhao Chuan said happily.

“Yes!”

Zhao Chan softly replied, then her beautiful eyes looked at Chu Mo: “True Disciple Chu, please follow me.”

“Thank you for your trouble.”

Chu Mo nodded slightly and said warmly.

Chapter 35: Taken as a Maid, Double Happiness

“True Disciple Chu, my humble abode is simple, please do not mind it!”

In a clean and elegant courtyard, Zhao Chan said with a hint of apology.

“Young Miss Zhao is joking, this place is already quite good.”

Chu Mo said with a smile.

He looked around.

He saw that the courtyard had everything, including rockeries and ponds, and many exotic flowers and plants were everywhere. All the utensils used were of the highest quality.

Although it was more than a cut below the Taichu Holy Land,

the Zhao Family was, after all, just a small Family, and to have such preparations was already extremely thoughtful.

“As long as True Disciple Chu is satisfied.”

Zhao Chan pursed her lips and smiled, then added: “For a period of time, I will live in your side room. If you need anything, just tell me.”

“In that case, Young Miss Zhao, I will trouble you.”

“It's no trouble.”

Zhao Chan shook her head.

Then, looking at Chu Mo, she said: “If True Disciple Chu doesn't mind, you can call me Chuan'er, otherwise it always feels very unfamiliar.”

Upon hearing this,

Chu Mo looked at Zhao Chan with some surprise.

He saw that her eyes were clear at this moment, but there was a touch of redness at her temples, which made her look even more charming and delicate.

“In that case, I will not be polite. You don't have to call me True Disciple Chu anymore. My name is Chu Mo, you can call me by my name directly, or you can call me Young Master!”

Chu Mo smiled gently and said softly.

“Yes, then Chuan'er will presume to call you Young Master from now on.”

Zhao Chan nodded and said obediently.

Subsequently,

the two chatted a few more words, and then, seeing that Chu Mo wanted to rest, she bowed and turned to leave.

Looking at her departing back,

Chu Mo's smile did not recede.

It seemed that the difficulty of gaining favorability was much simpler than he had imagined.

“Young Master!”

At this moment,

Elder Shaoguang, who had been standing silently behind Chu Mo, suddenly spoke: “You are now a True Disciple of the Holy Land, and logically, you should have some attending maids and followers.”

“Although this girl's strength is low, her appearance and talent are both good. Perhaps she can be brought back to the Holy Land to be your personal maid... If you are interested, this Old Man can go and discuss it with the Zhao Family Patriarch.”

“There's no hurry for this matter.”

Chu Mo said noncommittally: “The most pressing matter now is still to kill Lord Lingguang.”

“Yes.”

Elder Shaoguang nodded.

However, he was thinking to himself that he would find a time later to privately reveal something to Zhao Chuan and let him be mentally prepared—after all, Chu Mo had not expressed any intention of refusing just now.

Not refusing meant acquiescence.

As for Lord Lingguang, Elder Shaoguang didn't care.

He was just a Loose Cultivator in the Tongxuan Realm. If he didn't come, then so be it. If he dared to come, he could be killed with a single palm strike.

...

On the other side,

Zhao Chuan, the Zhao Family Patriarch, who was still in excitement at this time, called Zhao Chan, who had just settled Chu Mo.

“Father, did you call me?”

Zhao Chan bowed gracefully and asked softly.

“Chuan'er, will you blame me for asking you to serve someone else?”

“How could daughter blame Father? You are also thinking for the Family.”

Zhao Chan shook her head.

“It's good that you don't blame me!”

Zhao Chuan sighed, saying somewhat helplessly: “Chuan'er, now that the Old Ancestor has passed away, only a group of True Spirit Realm Martial Artists remain in the clan. Although the Holy Land has sent people to reinforce us, this favor is used once and it diminishes once.”

“If my Zhao Family has no backing, what will we do to gain a foothold in Tai'an Prefecture after the people from the Holy Land leave?”

“How could those Families in the prefecture not want to take a piece of flesh from us?”

“Father has no choice!”

“The only way now is to establish a relationship with this True Disciple Chu. We don't dare to hope for a Dao Companion, even if it's just a follower or even a maid, my Zhao Family can stand firm and even rise to a higher level... But in that case, you will be wronged!”

“Father, there's no need to blame yourself. As a member of the Family, Chuan'er should do things for the Family.”

Zhao Chan said softly.

Immediately,

she remembered Chu Mo's handsome appearance and transcendent demeanor, and couldn't help but add: “Besides... Young Master Chu, as a True Disciple of the Holy Land, not only does he not have an arrogant air, but he also treats people gently and has a graceful and noble demeanor. Even if I were his maid, daughter would not feel wronged.”

“That's good, that's good!”

Zhao Chuan breathed a sigh of relief and completely relaxed.

...

For the next period of time, Chu Mo stayed in this courtyard.

He did not actively seek out Lord Lingguang.

According to the original plot, the Zhao Family would suffer misfortune, which meant that this person would definitely return to the Zhao Residence.

Since that was the case,

why bother to painstakingly search for him? He could completely wait at leisure for him to show up on his own.

Therefore, Chu Mo Cultivated while secretly waiting.

During this period, Zhao Chan also often came to communicate with Chu Mo.

Chu Mo knew that she wanted to befriend him, and he also had the intention of gaining favorability. In such circumstances, the distance between them naturally closed quickly, and soon they reached a point where they talked about everything.

And Zhao Chan's favorability towards him had already reached 55 points, on par with Su Lian Yue.

On this day,

Zhao Chan came, saying that she was ordered by her father to invite Chu Mo to a banquet.

Chu Mo thought that he had been with someone else's daughter for several days, so it wouldn't be good to refuse his father's face again, so he gladly went.

That evening,

all the core clansmen of the Zhao Family attended the banquet, placing Chu Mo at the main seat, while Zhao Chan was beside Chu Mo, pouring wine and serving dishes.

After three rounds of wine and five courses of food, the atmosphere gradually became lively.

At this moment,

Elder Shaoguang, who was sitting behind Chu Mo, suddenly gave Zhao Chuan a look.

The latter understood.

He immediately stood up and came before Chu Mo.

He first cupped his hands and bowed, then said with a smile: “True Disciple Chu, my humble daughter greatly admires you and wishes to follow you, but she is a young girl and a bit shy, so I, her father, am speaking for her. I wonder what True Disciple Chu thinks?”

Chu Mo naturally noticed Elder Shaoguang and Zhao Chuan's small actions.
