"Good, what a sharp tongue, we almost fell for your trick!"
"Chén Mò's words caused the other Holy Maidens to believe, but Mù Qiū's sudden words shattered the trust that had just been established among everyone."
Chen Mo's expression froze, his gaze fixed on Mu Qiugong's earnest eyes, his lips trembling slightly, then he lifted his index finger and said angrily: "Defamation".
"She's slandering me."
"How could I deceive you guys? Everything I said was the truth."
However, regardless of Chen Mo's explanations, the Holy Maidens refused to believe him, as they considered Mu Qiugong to be their own in their view.
Mù Qiugong raised her index finger, pointing at Chen Mo's arm, and let out a cold laugh with a "huhuhuhu." Then she said, "Stop acting. My poison insects can sense your pulse and heartbeat. How could I not know if you're lying?"
As soon as the words fell, Chen Mo's expression froze, then he quickly looked down at his arm, and there was indeed a black poison insect there. He had a major change in color and angrily stared at the already crawling Da Bǎo and Xiǎo Bǎo on his shoulder.
Two useless wastes, let others poison insects have climbed up his body, and there was no reaction at all. If the other party has a hostile attitude towards him, then he will surely die?
However, although Chen Mo complained, he also knew deep down that Da Bǎo and Xiǎo Bǎo would definitely be able to sense whether the other party's poison insects had hostile intentions towards him. If they did, then they would not be able to ignore it.
"Do you still refuse to tell the truth? Or do you want us to use force on you?"
Liu Ruyan crouched down, supporting her cheeks with her hands, her red lips curving into a faint smile, and calmly stared at Chen Mo.
In that moment, Chen Mo felt as if he was being exposed once again.
Liu Ruyan was a woman with a shrewd mind. Chen Mo felt that he had no place to hide in front of her. He glanced at the crowd of women, sighed helplessly, and said seriously, "You're right. Actually, Wu Xin didn't want to enter into an alliance."
"Indeed."
Upon hearing this, the faces of the other women immediately revealed a 'of course' expression. They all glared at Chen Mo with anger, except for Liu Ruyan, who seemed to have already known this and smiled faintly without speaking.
"But…"
Chen Mo changed the subject, "Although Wu Xin doesn't want to enter into an alliance, she has no choice but to. You see, the Tianmo Sect appears prosperous on the surface, but in reality, we have many enemies in secret."
As soon as the words fell, the Holy Maidens looked at each other and nodded seriously.
But even so, they still didn't believe that Liu Wuxin would force them into an alliance because of this.
"Everyone outside says that the Tianmo Sect is powerful, but is it really powerful? No, what's powerful is only Liu Wuxin herself. If she falls, the entire Tianmo Sect will become a piece of meat on a cutting board, at the mercy of others... That's why you've been pushing her to stay in the sect. As long as she takes a step outside, you all strongly oppose it. Is that not correct?"
Chen Mo's words were as precious as pearls, making the several Holy Maidens feel ashamed and lower their heads.
"Wu Xin doesn't necessarily want you to enter into an alliance. She just wants to find a reason to motivate you all to become stronger..."
"Truth, I have said all I have to say. You need not worry anymore about being forced into an alliance. You can choose to maintain the status quo or persist in your present circumstances. If you genuinely believe that this is the best option..."
Chen Mo stood up and pushed aside the several Holy Maidens, preparing to leave.
Suddenly, a voice of stubbornness came.
"We don't want to get stronger. It's just that we can't."
Yun Chunqiu spoke up. She was the one who most did not want to worry Liu Wuxin.
The current situation of Tianmo Sect is really caused by them, and it's not easy for them to break through. If breaking through is so simple, they won't have done it.
Only by becoming stronger can they relieve Liu Wuxin's burden.
But it's really too difficult. It's hard to become stronger.
The gap between the third and second-grade cultivation is like a chasm, insurmountable. Taking Feng Banxia for example, she has been trying to breakthrough to the second grade for many years, but with no success.
Until now, she is still striving, but the result remains the same.
It's true that the other Holy Maidens are not as persistent as Feng Banxia is now. However, when they were younger, they also worked hard for a long time and persevered for a long time.
The results don't match their efforts. Failure happens too often, and people become numb.
With Liu Wuxin, this great Buddha in their midst, why should they strive so hard?
Later, except for Feng Banxia, the other Holy Maidens all began to give up...
"But, no matter how hard we try, we have not succeeded. It's not that we don't want to break through, it's just that we can't."
Yun Chunqiu sighed helplessly, and poured out her innermost thoughts.
When Yun Chunqiu said this, the other Holy Maidens nodded in agreement, especially Feng Banxia, who was the most diligent but also the slowest to make progress.
If she hadn't been fond of fighting herself, she might have led a life of simply getting by like the other Holy Maidens.
Chen Mo turned back and looked at the Holy Maidens, smiling, "As long as you have this intention, that's enough. Though I'm not all-knowing and all-powerful, you can seek me out for the difficulties you encounter on your path of cultivation, and I will definitely speak without reservation..."
...
"I'm…"
Inside a inn, Song Xiu suddenly woke up from his bed in a panic, sitting up.
"What, did you wake up?"
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from beside Song Xiu, it was his older brother, Song Qiu.
"I shouldn't have come back, I remember, I should have…"
"Haha, how dare you say that?"
Song Qiu sneered and said disdainfully, "How dare you even ask? Don't you know what you've done, my foolish brother? You're so stupid that there's no cure for it. Do you really think that the Empress of the Demon Sect would be infatuated with you just because of your handsome looks? Wake up, the Empress of the Demon Sect, or those Holy Maidens, won't throw themselves at you just because of your attractiveness..."
Song Qiu's words are truthful. He doesn't wish his brother to do stupid things either, for the sake of his own goodwill and for his own safety.
However, Song Xiu didn't take it seriously.
"Brother, you're overestimating. I admit that the Empress may not be someone who values appearance, but she is in a high position, and she must not have heard many sweet words. As long as I launch a strong offensive at her, success is sure to follow... Father wanted us to bring back a Holy Maiden, right? If I can bring the Empress back with me, hahaha, do you know what father's expression will be?"
Thinking of this, Song Xiu couldn't help but lift the corners of his mouth.
"I don't know what father thinks, but I feel that you should die, don't drag me into it"
Liu Wuxin has said it so clearly, yet Song Xiu still wants to charge headlong into danger. By then, it won't just be him who will suffer; it could also involve his two brothers.
Song Xiu scoffed coldly, "Brother, don't worry, no woman can resist me..."
