I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 1161

Chapter 1161: Chapter 433: Master and Disciple’s Breakthrough! The Empress’s Composure Shattered! (Part 2)

Clearly, she was the first to arrive, but all these people inserted themselves ahead of her. Ling Ningzhi is understandable since she was the one who sent the invitation. But where did the other two come from?

"How can this be? This is bullying!"

"Hey, did you all hear? I—I’m really angry now! Stop it!"

...

...

The next day, at noon.

Brilliant sunlight spilled through the gauze curtains onto the bed.

Chen Mo lay quietly, staring blankly at the ceiling.

The room was empty, save for the messy bedding that told the story.

Recalling yesterday’s circumstances, he still felt a surreal dream-like sensation...

In the early hours, the Daoist Venerable finally awakened, and upon realizing what had happened, he was overcome by a desire to die, stumbling away in panic.

As the distractions gradually dissipated, Ling Ningzhi also regained her composure, overwhelmed with shame and quickly prepared to escape. Before leaving, she didn’t forget to take the sleeping Shen Zhixia with her. After all, Consort Yu was still eyeing them, leaving her alone here was too perilous.

As for Her Majesty the Consort...

Chen Mo helped untie her red silk, then left without a word, like a face devoid of expression, and broke through the space to leave.

If the Empress scolded him and lost her temper, it wouldn’t have been a big deal. The fact that she was overly calm indicated the true depth of the problem.

Even Chen Mo felt a bit apprehensive. Being involved with the Daoist Venerable and his apprentice was one thing, but having the Empress face-to-face nearby was indeed too much...

But in that situation, if he didn’t act that way, Ling Ningzhi and Ji Hongxiu might have ended up estranged.

And then Zhixia, who had suffered the most grievances, but she inhaled the most white dust and her consciousness was blurred, so maybe she didn’t quite remember what happened.

"Sigh..."

Chen Mo sighed softly, muttering to himself: "When will this emotional tribulation end? It’s already at this level, surely nothing more outrageous will happen, right?"

Knock knock—

At that moment, the door knocked, and outside came Chai Haochuan’s voice: "Mr. Chen, are you awake? The Sect Master invites you to Qionghua Palace."

"Alright."

Chen Mo collected himself and responded.

He raised his hand gently, the breeze wafting through and dispersing the scent in the air.

Then he got up, dressed, and went to open the door, where Chai Haochuan bowed and greeted him with a trembling voice, "Mr. Chen, seeing you well is truly good!"

The Daoist teaching session yesterday had benefited him greatly, and with Chen Mo’s past deeds known to all, admiration for this young household filled everyone. Unlike those imperial officials who plunder without contribution, this was a true hero!

"Brother Chai is too courteous, what does the Sect Master want from me?" Chen Mo asked.

Suppressing his excitement, Chai Haochuan said, "It’s hard to explain with just a few words. Mr. Chen will know soon."

Seeing this, Chen Mo said no more, nodding slightly, "Let’s go."

"This way, please."

The two left the courtyard, walking towards Qionghua Palace.

Upon entering the grand hall, they saw Huo Wuya and a group of Martial Saint Mountain elders already waiting, with the Daoist Venerable and Ling Ningzhi present as well.

At the sight of Chen Mo, the two turned away awkwardly, avoiding his gaze.

"Chen has arrived."

Rustle—

Someone called out, and everyone stood up, all eyes turning towards them.

"It seems Mr. Chen has recovered well?" Huo Wuya approached and greeted, "Yesterday, your sudden fainting worried everyone. I had intended to visit you..."

At this, Huo Wuya glanced behind him, cautiously asking: "Has Her Majesty the Consort not come with you?"

Chen Mo shook his head, "The Empress had urgent matters and has already left."

"Left?"

Huo Wuya breathed a sigh of relief.
