I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 1163

"What is the Purple Peak Master doing?" Chen Mo raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Mr. Chen, you need not worry. When you were preaching the Dao, I was listening from below, and indeed benefited greatly. This is my way of returning the favor."

"Just for that reason?"

"Uh..."

Faced with those amused eyes, Zi Wenzhong's expression appeared slightly awkward. He rubbed his hands and said sheepishly, "Also, regarding the previous matters, it was inconsiderate of me. I hope you don't take it to heart. Actually, Lianji does have great respect for you."

Chen Mo felt a clarity in his mind.

The other party was concerned he might hold a grudge against Zi Lianji, which was why he was being so agreeable.

After all, that Secret Realm is isolated from the world. If he harbored resentment and acted on it, even Jiang Zhiyun might not be able to protect him.

"Purple Peak Master, rest assured, I am not one to hold grudges. I usually settle them on the spot." Chen Mo said with a smile, "Besides, I don't have any real conflicts with Chief Zi. Young people are prone to impulsive behavior; let's not dwell on past incidents."

Truth be told, although Zi Lianji likes to show off, his character isn't a problem. He puts everything out in the open and never secretly plots against others.

Even though he's been fond of Ling Ningzhi for a long time, he has always exercised restraint and never overstepped, making him quite the gentleman.

Moreover, he is now a Tributor at Martial Saint Mountain. There will be many chances to interact in the future, and even if they don't become friends, there's no need to sever ties completely.

"Chen, your magnanimity puts me to shame."

Zi Wenzhong sighed with relief and bowed deeply.

"You overestimate me, Purple Peak Master. I will accept this martial arts book and perhaps seek your guidance in the future."

Chen Mo waved the book in his hand and turned to leave.

Watching the gradually departing figure, Zi Wenzhong's cheeks felt uncomfortably warm.

Some might say their first clash resulted in defeat because of suppressed cultivation, but yesterday, Chen Mo's punch undeniably shattered his flesh body!

Although it ties to the unhealed old injury, it also clearly shows the other side's capability!

Despite his flamboyant nature, Zi Wenzhong has self-awareness; he's been stuck at First Grade for many years. There's no hope to prove as Ultimate Venerable, and with Chen Mo's talent and fortunes, he'll eventually be outdone!

"It seems the Sect Master's decision was not wrong. Compared to such a monstrous talent, a mere Sword Washing Pool means nothing. To make enemies here would definitely not be a wise choice..."

…

…

Chen Mo left Qionghua Palace, with Shen Zhixia following close behind.

The two remained silent the entire way.

Upon reaching the courtyard gate, Shen Zhixia tugged at his sleeve and stammered, "Brother, I want to talk to you about yesterday..."

Chen Mo nodded, saying, "Good timing, I also want to talk to you... And you two, stop hiding and come over."

Rustle—

Ling Ningzhi and Ji Hongxiu emerged from behind the fence, showing evading eyes and slightly embarrassed expressions.

Chen Mo sighed quietly.

With things as they were, there was no point in hiding anything further, so he decided to speak frankly.

"Let's go inside first."

He stepped into the courtyard, and the three exchanged glances before silently following.

…

…

Inside the chamber.

The four sat in chairs, facing each other in silence.

Chen Mo broke the stillness first, saying, "Zhixia, feel free to ask anything you want."

Shen Zhixia hesitated slightly, saying, "So, what exactly happened last night? Apart from the Daoist, I—I also think I heard the Daoist Venerable's voice?"

At that time, she had taken in the most emotional impurities, leaving her mind a bit dazed. She only vaguely remembered the constant interruptions ahead were driving her to tears...

"I..."

Ji Hongxiu clenched her delicate hands, not knowing how to respond.

As Ling Ningzhi's master, she was not of the same generation as them, making it difficult to speak up.

Chen Mo candidly said, "That's right. At that moment, the Daoist Venerable and the Empress were present as well. They were similarly affected by distracting thoughts, rendering their actions uncontrollable."

Shen Zhixia gulped, "Then you all..."

Chen Mo said, "This matter is a bit lengthy to explain..."

He seemed to understand that the more he tried to hide, the more bizarre the Peach Blossom Tribulation became. Besides, he was unwilling to deceive Zhixia any longer, so he took this opportunity to directly clarify everything.
