Chen Mo walked out of the Shu Yu Dian alone.
Outside, several pairs of eyes were staring at him fixedly, including Hua An, Sun Qian, Su Kekou, and especially Zuo Quan Cheng. His gaze was as fierce as a wolf or tiger, as if he could swallow him whole.
Chen Mo was perplexed, "What's wrong with me, is there something written on my face?"
Sun Qian rubbed his chin and walked up to Chen Mo's side to start spinning around in a circle, looking at him and sizing him up as he went. Then came Su Kekou, Zuo Quan Cheng, and even Hua An joined in on the fun.
The group watched him as if he were a monkey in a play.
Chen Mo felt dizzy after being surrounded by the group, and his face displayed a tone of helplessness, "If you don't speak up, I'm going to get angry."
The group stopped, and Sun Qian moved forward, smiling, "Brother Chen, give me the lowdown. Is your real name Chen Mo?"
Chen Mo was taken aback, opened his mouth to deny it, but Zuo Quan Cheng immediately supplemented, "I heard that Brother Chen appeared in the forbidden zone, and even emerged from a golden coffin. I've heard that after Taozu Chen Mo died, the Empress of the Tian Long made a golden coffin for him and buried him in it."
Hua An nodded slightly, "I've heard that the old master was a servant in the household of Daozu three hundred years ago. After Daozu passed away, he entered the sect through his relationship with Daozu... The old master has not only gone to visit Daozu's burial site numerous times, but it is also definitely true."
"I also heard, a few days ago, the golden coffin of Daozu was stolen... Although this matter was hidden by the Grand Minister of State, as we are in league with the old master, we place particular importance on the golden coffin and naturally got wind of it..."
Their eyes were burning, and they stared at Chen Mo with the ferocity of wolves or tigers, as if they could eat him alive.
"Oh... Now that it's all said and done, I won't keep it a secret either."
Chen Mo smiled slightly and said, "I had wanted to interact with you all as a normal person, but I didn't expect you all to guess. I'm not going to pretend anymore; I'll level with you. I am the Daozu Chen Mo you've been referring to."
"Really?"
Zuo Quan Cheng moved forward a step, his intense gaze locked onto Chen Mo, who nodded slightly in response. In the next moment, everyone was in a frenzy.
"Brother Chen, I've heard that three hundred years ago, a man named Ye Liangchen killed you. Is this true? Is he really that strong?"
"Daozu, since you have already passed away three hundred years ago, why are you appearing before us alive now? Are you not really dead?"
"Senior, I've heard that after your death, it was the Emperor of Tianlong who crafted a golden coffin for you and buried you. She also often shed tears for you. What kind of relationship did you have? Could it be that you faked your death to avoid settling this score?"
"I've heard of the young Chen... Ahem, Daozu, you had many beloved beauties in your life. I have a friend who's been curious for a long time and wanted to ask, how did you manage to do that?"
...
The four people surrounded Chen Mo and asked one question after another. The questions kept getting sharper, and Chen Mo, who only wanted to show off, was immediately confused. If only four people knew his true identity, imagine if it were forty or four hundred! He would be driven nuts by the endless questions!
Chen Mo was caught between a rock and a hard place, with no way to retreat. Just then, a fierce shout echoed from the Shuiyue Dòngtiān, "Are you trying to rebel by torturing the young master like this?"
As soon as the words were spoken, a terrifying aura followed, making the four people instantly silent and intimidated. Among them, Hua An from their own sect was the most affected. His legs suddenly weakened, and he almost knelt down.
"Haha, it's okay, Uncle Fu doesn't need to be so angry"
Chen Mo, as if saved, came to stand by Uncle Fu's side, wiping the sweat from his brow in passing. The questions asked earlier had been so tricky that he was beginning to sweat profusely.
"Those who don't know the rules will have to be well-taught. You, young master, don't need to plead for them."
Uncle Fu snorted coldly. His kindness and tenderness towards Chen Mo did not mean he could treat others in the same manner.
After Uncle Fu's rebuke, everyone quieted down. Hua An dared not meddle further, wanting to leave after being scolded, but he was called over by Chen Mo.
"My identity except for you all is something I don't want others to know for now. As the seventh elder, you should know what to do, right?"
Hua An's lips twitched involuntarily. He was thinking about gossiping with other elders, but when he met the icy gaze of Uncle Fu, he wavered. After nodding seriously and fleeing like a fugitive, he left the scene.
Sun Qian and Su Kekou also wanted to gossip about Chen Mo, but they were even more cowards than Hua An. They simply lowered their heads and remained silent.
Zuo Quan Cheng appeared to be very serious, with only thoughts of cultivation. However, he was absolutely crazy about Chen Mo. It was all because of his admiration for Chen Mo that he had chosen the path of cultivation.
Ever since he heard about Chen Mo's exploits, he had wanted to meet this idol in his heart. However, at this moment, he didn't know what to say. On the contrary, Chen Mo directly approached him, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Zuo brother, do you have something to tell me?"
"I... don't know where to start."
"Then put it aside for now. Do you remember what I told you?"
Zuo Quan Cheng thought it over for a moment and suddenly understood, "Daozu, do you mean that you want me to spread this cultivation method?"
Chen Mo nodded slightly, and Zuo Quan Cheng nodded solemnly, "I will go right away and not let you down, Daozu."
If Zuo Quan Cheng's previous promise to Chen Mo was just to help out, then his current statement is like a commitment to an ideal or mission.
Zuo Quan Cheng bid farewell to Chen Mo and hurriedly left the Yueshan Sect.
"Master, what about these two?"
Fu Bei glanced at the departing figure of Zuo Quan Cheng and then turned his gaze to the two of them.
"It's a promising talent. Let them follow me. Perhaps in the future, they will have great achievements."
Although the two of them are fragile, Sun Qian has some talent, and Su Kekou has a good support role, able to replenish his vital energy when necessary. Having them with him can also serve as a distraction.
"Master, what are your plans for the future? Are you going to the capital? Since you will be going there, I will accompany you..."
"No need"
Chen Mo shook his head, "Though the current Grand Minister is watching me with a menacing gaze, but with the identity of your personal disciple, they dare not act openly..."
"But in secret..."
"I have my own methods to deal with it, Uncle Fu. If you don't intervene, it's because there are more important things to do."
"Please, young master, do tell."
"Spider web"
Chen Mo's eyes carried a touch of gravity, "It was the eyes of Ye Liangchen, spread across the land of Jiuzhou. If he wishes, he can know everything happening anywhere. Our every move is being watched by the spider web... I intend for Uncle Fu to blind him."
"The spider web? I've heard of it, but my old man has never seen them truly exist. I've heard this faction comes and goes without a trace, which might make it difficult to find."
"That's why we must find them and eliminate them. Go ahead and do that... I will rest here for a few days before going to the capital to find my brother, Ao Tian."
Chen Mo's lips curled slightly, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
Uncle Fu opened his mouth, wanting to say something but then paused. "Young master, about Long Ao Tian, she is actually..."
"Haha, I should have realized it earlier. Ao Tian brother is actually the Empress of the Tianlong, isn't he?"
