46: Section 46
They noticed the young girl following True Disciple Chu closely, step for step, like a maid.
Immediately, they didn't dare to look further and quickly shifted their gaze away.
“Greetings, Elder Cangming! Greetings, True Disciple Chu!”
Everyone saluted in unison.
“No need for such formality.”
Elder Cangming seemed to be in a good mood, smiling before speaking: “True Disciple Chu has arrived today, and I am delighted. All of you attending the banquet today must drink until you are drunk, so that True Disciple Chu can witness the enthusiasm of our Imperial City.”
“Absolutely!”
“Elder Cangming is right.”
Everyone present responded in unison.
Amidst the crowd.
Zhang Fan stared at Chu Mo, who was being surrounded like a moon by stars, and stood frozen in place.
He never would have thought.
This True Disciple from Taichu Holy Land was actually Chu Mo!
What caught his attention even more was the woman standing beside Chu Mo at this moment.
For some reason.
Zhang Fan felt a sense of closeness to this woman, as if they were close friends or relatives who hadn't seen each other for many years.
However.
Watching the young girl stand prettily behind Chu Mo, with her eyes full of him, an inexplicable pain arose in his heart, and he felt his breathing constrict.
“How did this person appear here?”
At the same time.
Chu Mo also noticed Zhang Fan in the crowd, and surprise appeared in his eyes.
But then.
He quickly realized.
It must be the effect of Luck!
As the Son of Luck, even if his Opportunity was snatched, the plot could still be corrected to some extent in the unseen, returning to the predetermined development line.
If he was not mistaken.
If the Seventh Princess also came tonight, perhaps Zhang Fan could win her favor with his performance, thereby gaining the qualification to enter the Secret Realm.
“Since that’s the case…”
Thinking of this.
Chu Mo glanced at the little maid standing beside him, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: “Then I’ll add fuel to the fire and see if you, the Son of Luck, can truly defy Heaven!”
“Alright, let’s not stand here anymore; let the banquet begin!”
Just as Chu Mo was pondering, Elder Cangming spoke.
Everyone began to take their seats.
Elder Cangming, as the head of Zhu Xuan Temple, naturally sat at the head of the table, while Chu Mo was in the honored guest seat to his right.
The other guests were seated according to their status.
As for Zhao Chan.
Originally, she was supposed to stand behind and serve, like the maids brought by others.
But at that moment, Chu Mo took her wrist and sat down with her.
“Young Master, this is not appropriate…”
Zhao Chan said in a low voice.
She was the only maid sitting at the banquet, and such special treatment made her somewhat flustered.
“What’s inappropriate? You are my maid; who dares to say more?”
“Just relax.”
Chu Mo smiled slightly, then casually put his arm around Zhao Chan’s waist.
This scene attracted the attention of many.
Seeing this.
Chu Mo smiled slightly and said calmly: “My little maid is shy; please forgive her, everyone.”
“Not at all! Not at all!”
Everyone waved their hands, and then a stream of praises like ‘talented man and beautiful woman’ and ‘perfect match’ flowed endlessly.
Listening to these words.
Zhao Chan’s cheeks flushed, and she lowered her head.
As for Zhang Fan, seeing this scene at the moment, his heart was even more pained.
He didn’t know why.
Even though he had never met Zhao Chan before, seeing her embraced by someone else and displaying such a shy expression, he felt extremely uncomfortable, as if he had personally witnessed his wife cheating on him, and an nameless rage erupted from the bottom of his heart.
“Hoo…”
He took a deep breath, trying his best to restrain himself.
And all of this was seen by Chu Mo.
【Favorability: -20】
Tsk!
Glancing at Zhang Fan’s information and seeing that his favorability towards him had already reached negative 20 points, Chu Mo couldn’t help but smile.
“But, this is not enough!”
“The fire isn’t burning brightly enough; it still needs more fuel!”
Thinking this, the smile on Chu Mo’s face became even more radiant.

Dishes were served one after another.
They were all incredibly rare delicacies from the mountains and seas, and fine wines.
Moreover, graceful dancing girls performed in the hall, with enchanting music, making the entire great hall filled with a harmonious atmosphere.
While accepting the flattery and solicitations of the crowd, Chu Mo exchanged glances with the little maid beside him, and occasionally made small gestures that made Zhao Chan's cheeks flush even more, even her neck turning crimson, making her exquisitely beautiful.
And this.
Made Zhang Fan, who was watching from the side, feel even more uncomfortable, and his jealousy and hatred deepened, almost turning into a raging inferno.
At the same time.
His ill will towards Chu Mo also rapidly increased.
But he dared not show it.
He could only drink his wine in silence, appearing completely out of place with the lively atmosphere in the hall.
At this moment.
A dancing girl in the hall performed a Sword Dance, and the Martial Artists present naturally began to discuss the Dao of the Sword.
“Gentlemen, you may not know, True Disciple Chu is extremely proficient in the Dao of the Sword. During the Outer Sect Great Competition, a brilliant Sword Qi shot into the sky, attracting the attention of many Elders and even the Supreme Head of the Holy Land.”
Elder Cangming said with a smile.
“Is there such a thing?”
Everyone present was shocked.
The Head of the Taichu Holy Land was a Saint Lord Realm expert, a top-tier existence in the entire Eastern Wang Dao Domain.
Even this existence was alarmed; didn't this mean that Chu Mo's Sword Dao attainments were truly extraordinary?
They all praised him.
“You all flatter me too much. My Sword Dao cultivation is not due to my personal strength; it is merely a matter of Luck.”
Chu Mo said modestly.
Then.
He smiled calmly and recounted how he had unintentionally found a place of Sword Dao True Intent in the Taichu Holy Land.
These words caused another round of exclamations from the crowd.
