"Meow~"
The cat lady squatted beside her, gazing at her eagerly.
Ji Lianxing frowned, "What are you looking at? This was earned by my own skill, it has nothing to do with you... Y-you’re biting me, let go, stupid cat, I’m not a fish snack!"
...
...
As expected, Chen Mo underwent a lengthy interrogation in the Dining Hall lasting an hour.
Chen Zhuo and his wife took turns, digging deep into the matter, investigating every cause and effect thoroughly.
Upon learning that the Daoist Venerable and the Empress both took action, one slaying the Demon Lord’s avatar and rescuing Chen Mo, and the other raiding the Desolate Domain and uprooting the Demon Clan’s lair... they both sighed in relief, but also felt a bit concerned.
There’s no free lunch in the world.
For the two Ultimate Venerables to protect Chen Mo so zealously, surely they must be after something?
"You didn’t sell anything off, did you?" Chen Zhuo asked hesitantly.
"Like what?" Chen Mo countered.
"Chastity."
"How can you sell something that never existed?"
"..."
Listening to the father and son’s conversation, He Yuzhi got a headache and waved her hand, "Alright, if those two really have any ideas, do you think Mo’er would have the power to resist?"
Chen Zhuo was momentarily at a loss for words.
Sounded reasonable enough...
He Yuzhi looked at Chen Mo and said, "Pay attention to your boundaries, don’t do what you shouldn’t do, if you absolutely must do it, make sure to do it safely... ahem, just remember, safety first in everything."
Chen Mo couldn’t help but laugh, was his mother worried that he’d be drained by the Daoist Venerable and the Empress?
"And regarding the Princess..."
Chen Zhuo said solemnly, "I heard some rumors recently, it seems the Palace is prepping to publicly find her a husband, what are your thoughts?"
Chen Mo asked in confusion, "Let them choose, what does it have to do with me?"
"Hasn’t the Princess favored you for a while now, what if she insists on having you as her husband? What will you tell the Empress then?" Chen Zhuo questioned.
Chen Mo shook his head, "Don’t worry, I’ve already made things clear with Chu Yanli, she shouldn’t bother me anymore."
"That’s good." Chen Zhuo said no more on the matter.
Chen Mo took a few bites of his meal before leaving. Yesterday, the Eastern Royal Palace issued the appointment, today he must go to the Qilin Pavilion and report.
After he left, the air fell silent.
"Dear, what do you think?" He Yuzhi asked.
Chen Zhuo was silent for a moment, rarely revealing his thoughts, "That day at the shrine, I saw with my own eyes as the lad slew the Great Demon and rescued the Crown Prince from that strange blood mist, such courage, he truly is from the Chen Family."
"Mo’er has now made great contributions and gained fame, yet I feel uneasy, I don’t know if it’s good or bad."
He Yuzhi frowned, "Whether it’s cultivation or official rank, his rise is unbelievably fast, not long ago he was Sixth Rank, and now he’s already a Third-rank Grandmaster!"
As a Martial Arts Grandmaster, she naturally understood how shocking this was.
Moreover, she could distinctly sense that Chen Mo’s aura was profound and restrained, with a hint of similarity to the Empress’s, the Dao he comprehended was evidently extraordinary.
"I don’t think there’s anything wrong."
