Actually, even Chu Mo himself had not anticipated such a grand occasion today. Although many had sent various materials during the reconstruction of Piaomiao Palace, Chu Mo mostly saw this as people catering to his master.
The Demon Lord was hunted by countless people in the Immortal Realm in years past, and that enmity was not easily dissolved. In fact, the Demon Lord and Die had personally slain many of their old enemies, and most of the rest had been involved in the hunt but had not actually hard him.
Therefore, Chu Mo never really took himself too seriously, simply arriving in the Immortal Realm and fighting a few big battles, eliminating so fools. But the Immortal Realm was vast with many large families and sects, and most of those had nothing to do with him.
Yet today, more than half of them had shown up!
Illusion Sect's Master Li Zhongyuan, Mystic Sect's Master Yang Xuan, and Elixir Sect's Leader, had been by Chu Mo's side the whole ti, introducing him to these eminent figures of the Immortal Realm. Chu Mo was likewise accommodating, greeting everyone with a friendly smile.
To the uninford, he might appear as a scion of so top-tier powerhouse, with hardly a hint of malice visible on him. Only those who truly knew him were aware of the terrifying things hidden behind that smile.
Regardless, Piaomiao Palace, once an insignificant sect hardly ntioned, suddenly beca incredibly popular to the point of fa.
There were already many inquiring about the standards for discipleship at Piaomiao Palace.
Those sects naturally would not allow their disciples to change sects, but the families that ca were different!
Even top-level families had limited resources. With many children in a family, it was impossible to look after them all. There would always be so with decent talent who would leave the family to join other sects.
Originally, for families like this, even if Chu Mo was impressive, Piaomiao Palace might not have been in their consideration. But after witnessing today's event, many started to entertain the idea. They pondered whether joining Piaomiao Palace might be better than staying in their own families?
At the very least, Piaomiao Palace was now quite strong in terms of connections. Didn't those from the smaller families and sects who had arrived early look shocked and continuously try to get close to those of status?
The more astute ones set their sights directly on the disciples of Piaomiao Palace.
And the dignified female disciples of Piaomiao Palace caught the attention of many. In the Immortal Realm, beauties were not scarce. Any cultivator had nurous chances to alter their appearance during their cultivation journey.
But so things cannot be changed by re effort. For example, the innate nobility of Qin Shi and Dong Yu, or the spirit energy of Huang Hui, was not sothing that could be imitated later in life.
Fang Lan and Ping Ping, although both were from the Spirit Realm, had a confidence not commonly found among female cultivators.
However, this ti, nobody dared to overtly flirt with these won.
But there's always an exception—
"Xing'er? You, how co you're here? You made search so hard!" A voice filled with surprise suddenly ca from the crowd in the distance.
Then, another voice responded, "Yue'er, you're here as well? I heard you ran away from ho..."
Chu Mo, who was chatting jovially with a group of important figures, slightly frowned. Those two voices brought back so unpleasant mories for him.
"What's wrong?" Yang Xuan, who had been by Chu Mo's side all this ti, felt that sothing was off and imdiately asked.
The others also looked at Chu Mo, their eyes probing.
"It's nothing; let's go have a look," said Chu Mo, his face showing a hint of mischief as he walked over.
As he moved, a crowd of people around him stirred and followed suit.
Over there.
Xing'er and Yue'er stood with sowhat awkward expressions, yet their eyes mostly showed disgust.
Two handso youths stood in front of them, their faces alight with joy, yet deep in their eyes, there also lingered a trace of anger.
"Do I need to report my whereabouts to you?" Xing'er frowned as she looked at the man before her, "Do we have any relationship at all?"
"Xing'er, don't be like this. So many people are watching," Qiu Dong inwardly cursed: Bitch! But his face showed a gentle smile as he turned to the sowhat surprised onlookers and said, "Don't take it the wrong way, everyone. We've been friends since childhood, she's just throwing a little tantrum."
The faces around them imdiately showed understanding, and then they looked at Qiu Dong and Luo Ming beside him with eyes full of envy!
Having a connection with soone from the Piaomiao Palace, especially a friendship from childhood, was already sothing to be extrely envious of. And it seed, judging from the looks of it, that there might be so indescribable connection between these two handso young n and the beautiful won beside them.
The people around them couldn't help but let their imaginations run wild.
The disgust in Xing'er's eyes finally beca too difficult to hide, and she said in a low voice, "Qiu Dong, don't do this. Out of respect for our childhood friendship, I'm asking you to please stop pursuing in the future!"
Qiu Dong felt a surge of pride when he heard the first part of her sentence, but after hearing the rest, he exploded with anger, though he didn't shout because there were many people around. He also understood the significance of the event and how many important people were present, so he managed to restrain himself and looked at Xing'er, "Xing'er, my feelings for you have never changed. I've always liked you, why can't you give a chance?"
Xing'er's voice grew colder as she looked at Qiu Dong, "Ever since that incident in the Illusionary Spirit Realm, there's been nothing between us. I hope you understand, Qiu Dong, that there's absolutely no possibility between us!"
"You... was I wrong back then? Isn't this kind of thing very common in the Cultivation Realm?" Qiu Dong beca angry, his voice filled with agitation, "Besides, the ones who ended up at a loss were Luo Ming and ! And you're saying you fell in love at first sight with that little beast? That you can't forget him after just one eting?"
Qiu Dong's voice was not quiet, and many people around them heard. They looked at him with odd expressions, and then the crowd began to grow restless.
Qiu Dong was oblivious to the buzz, continuing to say, "He was just a very weak... not even a cultivator. A little beast, and yet you seem to fancy that!"
"She fancies what, exactly?" A calm voice sounded from behind Qiu Dong.
"What's it to you?" Qiu Dong shot back coldly, "It's none of an outsider's business! This is our family's affair!"
After speaking, Qiu Dong felt sothing was amiss because everyone around him was staring at him agape. At that mont, his divine sense also alerted him to the presence of nurous powerful auras lingering behind him.
Qiu Dong turned around with a stiff face, only to be stunned on the spot.
A group of incredibly prestigious top figures from the Immortal Realm were standing there, expressionless, looking at him. The young man who was being held up like a star in their midst seed a bit familiar. He seed to be... Qiu Dong frowned, then suddenly realized the young man's identity—it was Chu Mo!
But what of it?
In front of so many important figures, could Chu Mo, of his status, really stoop to my level?
It has to be said, everyone has their monts of quick-wittedness, and Qiu Dong thought his analysis was correct. So, he clasped his fists towards Chu Mo and said openly, "I am Qiu Dong. You must be Young Master Chu, right? I have heard of Young Master Chu's fairness and righteousness. I would like to request Young Master Chu to judge a matter of justice for !"
"? Judge justice?" Chu Mo looked at Qiu Dong with a sowhat strange expression.
Xing'er and Yue'er, standing nearby, were also sowhat dumbfounded, their faces showing very peculiar expressions.
anwhile, Luo Ming, who had been standing to the side, seed to think of sothing instantly, and his handso face turned ashen in a flash.
