762: As long as you talk about morality, he can't do anything to you.

"Brother Mo, I think there might be some misunderstanding here?"

Qian Shengxin, seeing his goddess on the verge of tears, felt a pang in his heart and quickly stepped forward to mediate.

Chen Mo gave him a speechless glance and said indifferently, "Xiao Hong, as the saying goes, even if a deal falls through, goodwill remains. We've been old friends for many years, so rest assured, I, Chen Mo, never forget my original intentions and never bully the weak."

"I'm asking you for a trade fair invitation, and I naturally won't take it for free. Name your price."

Xiao Hong: "...But I really don't have one. A few days ago, I already washed my hands of the business."

"What did you say? Washed your hands of the business?" Chen Mo was dumbfounded.

The impact of a woman who valued money above all else and was utterly mercenary suddenly washing her hands of the business was not small for him.

Xiao Hong nodded, and fearing Chen Mo wouldn't believe her, she raised her hand to swear: "Five days ago, I really turned down all immortal attendants and washed my hands in a golden basin."

"Impossible, my intuition cannot be wrong." Chen Mo was a little flustered.

"Uh... is there a possibility that the trade fair has already ended?" Xiao Hong asked weakly.

"What do you mean?"

"To be honest, Senior Chen, I just finished attending a trade fair."

Xiao Hong was extremely frightened at this moment, terrified that Chen Mo would annihilate her in a fit of rage.

But that was the truth, and she had no choice but to say it despite her fear.

"You..." Chen Mo was so angry he felt like spitting blood.

He felt that this opportunity might be related to his breakthrough to Master God.

And now it was just gone.

Chen Mo was unwilling.

Chen Mo said coldly, "Who attended the trade fair? What treasures did they trade?"

Xiao Hong's face instantly paled. Smart as she was, how could she not realize that Chen Mo was just looking for an excuse to deal with her?

She considered herself to know Chen Mo quite well.

What 'I won't bother others if they don't bother me' nonsense? It was just an excuse for his hypocrisy.

Just like now.

What would a dignified Celestial like Chen Mo do at a God Emperor's trade fair?

This was merely an excuse to deal with her.

Qian Shengxin, the simp, seeing his goddess frightened, immediately jumped out and stood in front of Xiao Hong, his flabby body jiggling.

"Brother Mo, you're not unaware of the trade fair rules. Aren't you making things difficult for Fairy Lingxue?"

"And you're already a Celestial, what do you need to attend a God Emperor's trade fair for?"

Qian Shengxin spoke with a look of defiance.

He felt that Chen Mo was deliberately looking for trouble, trying to subdue Xiao Hong this way.

Dream on.

If he wanted to force Xiao Hong, he'd have to step over his dead body.

Xiao Hong looked at Qian Shengxin, who resembled a mountain of flesh, and was deeply moved. Fatty Qian was indeed as reliable as ever.

It was a pity his eyes were blind.

"Celestial?"

The crowd, who had been watching the show with relish, were instantly shocked by Qian Shengxin's words.

Then they thought it impossible.

Celestials were beings comparable to the Heavenly Dao, how could they be idly chatting with a God Emperor here?

Perhaps Chen Mo's name was just 'Celestial'.

"Xinzi, what kind of person do you take me for?"

Chen Mo heard this and immediately looked at him with a disappointed expression.

What kind of person he was, did Qian Shengxin not understand at all?

Qian Shengxin was actually opposing him for a mercenary woman. Was he still his brother?

"Brother Mo, I'm just telling the truth."

In front of the goddess he had pursued for hundreds of thousands of years, Qian Shengxin did not back down an inch.

Chen Mo fell silent.

Because he simply couldn't explain that the God Emperor's trade fair held a great opportunity for him.

Moreover, he naturally knew the rules of the trade fair, but he was just too unwilling.

"Uh... can I leave now?"

"..."

Chen Mo's lips moved. He really wanted to continue inquiring about the treasures traded at the fair.

As long as he knew a little information, he could definitely deduce it and regain the opportunity.

However, forcing others like this was not his style; it went against his original intention.

If only Xiao Hong would tell him voluntarily.

Seeing Chen Mo not speaking, Xiao Hong darted away, running all the way back to Gu Qing's courtyard. Only then did she pat her ample chest, as if having escaped a disaster.

"You scared me to death."

"Is he that scary?"

Gu Qing appeared before her, a playful smile on his face.

"Of course, he's a Celestial after all."

Xiao Hong replied subconsciously.

After speaking, she saw Gu Qing's playful smile, which looked increasingly wicked. Xiao Hong immediately felt wronged.

She was, after all, considered Gu Qing's person, yet Gu Qing was hiding in the dark watching the show.

Truly... too hateful.

"Don't be afraid!"

Gu Qing patted her fragrant shoulder and comforted her with a smile, "I'm sure you've noticed, he's very hypocritical, wanting to have his cake and eat it too, more duplicitous than a courtesan in a brothel."

"As long as you go along with him, spouting righteousness and morality, then he's just a fierce tiger trapped in a cage of morality."

Hmm?

Xiao Hong's beautiful eyes widened.

Comparing a Celestial to a courtesan?

This... Xiao Hong thought about it carefully, and it really seemed to be the case.

Wasn't Chen Mo just a hypocritical and self-preserving person, always having 'I won't bother others if they don't bother me' on his lips?

As long as she spouted righteousness and morality, perhaps... Xiao Hong's expression changed as she imagined the scene, a look of complicated emotions on her face.

"Young Master, I understand!"

"Good, it's good that you understand."

Gu Qing smiled with satisfaction.

"Thank you for enlightening me, Young Master. Not only is your cultivation profound, but you also possess astonishing wisdom. You saw through Chen Mo's hypocritical facade at a glance. It is truly a blessing accumulated over countless lifetimes for Xiao Hong to be able to follow you."

Xiao Hong looked at Gu Qing with an expression of adoration, her apricot eyes sparkling.

"Stop flattering me."

Gu Qing saw through her little trick at a glance and tugged at her beautiful hair: "Don't worry, with me here, even if you dig up his ancestral grave, I can protect you."

Although Xiao Hong had a lot of schemes, this was not a bad thing. As long as she could help him with his affairs, she was a good Xiao Hong.

As the leader, he naturally had to give his subordinates a sense of security, otherwise, why would they risk their lives for him?

"Thank you, Young Master."

Xiao Hong's heart, which had been hanging, completely settled upon hearing this.

After all, Chen Mo's hesitant expression was simply too obvious; he would definitely find other excuses to pressure her in the future.

A mere God Emperor like her couldn't withstand the attention of a Celestial.

Now that she had Gu Qing's guarantee, what did she, Xiao Hong, have to fear?

Even if Gu Qing was no match for Chen Mo, wasn't there still Starry Sacred Mother?

"Serve the food and wine!"

Gu Qing chuckled and sat down in the courtyard pavilion.

"Coming right up!"

Xiao Hong moved deftly, quickly setting a table full of food and wine. She bustled about like a little bee, diligently attending to him.

Gu Qing saw Bai Zhilan's eyebrows tightly furrowed and asked, "Why is Junior Sister so troubled?"

Bai Zhilan pursed her red lips and said, "I've had a life-and-death experience with Chen Mo. Although he is aloof, he has always acted according to his own principles. Junior Brother said he..."

She trailed off, ultimately not saying the word 'bitch,' as it was too vulgar.

Also, was it really good to teach people to spout righteousness and morality?

"Oh?"

Gu Qing heard this and suddenly realized.

It was confirmed.

Bai Zhilan was Chen Mo's fated female lead, and the Dao Decree was definitely prepared for Chen Mo.

As for why it didn't appear at the trade fair...

That should be due to his unexpected appearance, and possibly Starry Sacred Mother's intervention as well.
