41: Section 41

However, he feigned ignorance, his gaze falling instead on Zhao Chan.

Zhao Chan sat beside Chu Mo, her face flushed with color, her body slightly stiff, appearing quite nervous.

Seeing this,

Chu Mo smiled faintly and said, "I am naturally willing, but I fear it would be an injustice to Chuan'er!"

"No injustice, no injustice!"

"For my daughter to become True Disciple Chu's maid, that is a blessing cultivated over several lifetimes; how could it be an injustice!"

Zhao Chuan was immediately overjoyed.

He then quickly turned to Zhao Chan and said, "Chuan'er, why aren't you thanking True Disciple Chu!"

"Chuan'er thanks Young Master for thinking so highly of her; in the future, she will wholeheartedly serve Young Master with no second thoughts."

Zhao Chan's face bloomed with a beautiful smile as she spoke.

...

After the maid's identity was confirmed, all the Zhao Family Disciples present were visibly overjoyed.

The atmosphere at the banquet instantly reached its peak.

They knew.

From this day forward, the Zhao Family once again had a powerful backing.

And it was a True Disciple of the Taichu Holy Land!

"Come, everyone, raise your cups and drink to celebrate this joyous day!"

Zhao Chuan raised his wine cup and shouted happily.

Chu Mo also drained his cup and then set it down.

At this moment,

a group of Zhao Family servants entered, refilling their wine and dishes.

Chu Mo glanced around.

He hadn't paid much attention initially, but when he saw the information on a certain servant, his eyes suddenly narrowed.

"Name": Xu Lingguang

"Realm": Tongxuan Realm Fifth Level

"Destiny": Ordinary (White)

"Fate": Death Imminent (Black)

"Life Script": (mortal cultivation tale Supporting Character)

"Recent Turning Point": Provoked the Taichu Holy Land, great disaster looming, death imminent.

...

Seeing this scene, Chu Mo couldn't help but reveal a smile.

Today truly was a double blessing.

He had just acquired a maid, and his objective for this outing had also appeared!

Chapter 36: Xu Lingguang Appears, Defeated with One Sword!

Xu Lingguang's mood was very smug right now.

Just a short while ago, he had escaped from the encirclement of many Disciples from the Taichu Holy Land, and now he had disguised himself and blended into the Zhao Mansion.

He was originally a notorious bandit.

Later, by chance, he found an Immortal Cave of a Martial Artist in the mountains and obtained a Legacy from it, thus embarking on the Martial Dao.

Relying on this Legacy, coupled with his ruthless and dark nature, he plundered cultivation resources everywhere, and in just over ten years, he advanced to the Tongxuan Realm.

This speed, for a Loose Cultivator, was already enough to be proud of.

But he was not satisfied.

He still wanted to go further.

A few days ago, he came to Tai'an Prefecture, originally intending to inquire about any small Families there so he could plunder them.

However, he unexpectedly stumbled upon the Zhao Family Old Ancestor exploring a ruin.

This immediately sparked greed in his heart, so he followed behind.

Taking advantage of the moment the other party obtained the treasure, he suddenly attacked and severely injured the Zhao Family Old Ancestor, but this person was also extremely decisive, actually fighting him despite his severe injuries.

Although he eventually killed him, he himself suffered no minor injuries.

As a result, the Zhao Family Disciples managed to escape.

Afterward,

the Zhao Family sought help, and the Taichu Holy Land dispatched a large number of people to pursue him.

Initially, he was extremely worried, hiding everywhere, fearing a miserable end if found.

But as time passed,

he found that the pursuing personnel sent by the Taichu Holy Land were not very strong and had not discovered his whereabouts, which gradually emboldened him.

He not only returned directly to Tai'an Prefecture City but even considered annihilating the Xu Family to avenge his injuries.

He was not afraid of his whereabouts being exposed.

The Legacy he had obtained contained a secret art of concealing aura.

This method was extremely profound; even a Martial Artist two major Realms higher than him would find it difficult to detect.

It was precisely by relying on this secret art that he remained safe and sound despite the pursuit of the Disciples dispatched by the Taichu Holy Land.

"What about the Taichu Holy Land?"

"Didn't I still make them run around in circles!"

He thought to himself, secretly pleased.

As he spoke,

he looked at Zhao Chan, who was sitting beside the main seat, serving Chu Mo.

"Such a beautiful girl, I have never seen her like this before!"

"After I eliminate the Xu Family, I must have some fun with her!"

As for Chu Mo,

he didn't take him seriously.

Although he knew that this person was treated so hospitably by the Zhao Family, his background must be extraordinary, but he wasn't even afraid of the Taichu Holy Land, so how could he be afraid of a mere boy who hadn't even fully matured?

However,

looking at Chu Mo being served so attentively by Zhao Chan, he couldn't help but feel a little jealous.

"When I start the massacre later, I'll kill this kid first!"

Thinking this,

a murderous intent surged in his heart.

However,

just then,

he suddenly saw the young man sitting at the main seat look up and fix his gaze on him.

Xu Lingguang quickly lowered his head to conceal his thoughts.

But what he didn't expect was—

"Xu Lingguang, you're quite bold, daring to come here even with the Taichu Holy Land's heavy encirclement!"

Chu Mo said with a half-smile.

Boom!

Hearing Chu Mo's words, a thunderous roar instantly echoed in Xu Lingguang's mind.

"How did he know my name? Did he find out my true identity?!"

"Impossible!"

"My aura concealment secret art is incredibly profound; even a Divine Union Realm Martial Artist cannot see through it. How could a mere young boy see through it!"

A storm raged in his heart.

But he showed no trace of it on his face, instead displaying a look of bewildered confusion.

And at the same time,

everyone else in the hall also changed their expressions because of Chu Mo's words.
