Everyone present was stunned, their eyes widened. It was the first time in their lives that they had seen "Brother Lu, Young Master Lu" show such a girlish side.
To many people, this was even more shocking than the sun rising from the west!
Even Lu Zheng... was experiencing for the first time that his daughter was indeed a girl.
Hence, their looks towards Chu Mo became strangely complex.
This young and handsome innate martial artist not only made "Brother Lu" cry, but he also forced her to completely reveal her feminine side... this was simply incredible!
People who understood Lu Tianqi knew that she was not like this after growing up, but had behaved like a boy since she was very young. She used to play and fight with a group of boys and was always the one leading the fights. When she was eight or nine years old, she was beaten black and blue in fights, yet no one ever saw her shed a single tear.
The classic phrase of "Young Master Lu" was: How could I possibly cry? Only sissies cry!
Look at the kind of domineering statement she used to make.
But the person in front of them, whimpering in a girlish manner... was she possessed by some little girl?
What they didn't know was how terrifying the Heaven Slaying that Chu Mo held was!
To be accurate, the Heaven Slaying in Chu Mo's hand was actually the soul of the Heaven Slaying Blade. When this fully sentient divine artifact sensed the anger of its master, the killing intent it emitted was extremely intimidating!
Not to mention Lu Tianqi, who was behaving like a tomboy, even an emperor would tremble and be frightened out of their wits with the Heaven Slaying Blade against their neck!
This was not a question of courage or fear of death, it was a deterrent that reached into one's soul!
No one could face it calmly.
Only the person involved could comprehend this sensation the most.
Lu Zheng held his trembling daughter, his face showing mixed emotions. Honestly, having a stranger push his beloved daughter to this state made him lose face completely and also broke his heart.
So much so that he felt an impulse to order the direct dismemberment of Chu Mo!
However, in the end, Lu Zheng suppressed this impulse. He sighed, patted his daughter's back, and comforted her: "Don't cry, everything's fine, your father is here, your father will take care of you."
"WoooWooo... He must be killed!" Lu Tianqi buried her head in her father's arms and muttered in a muffled voice.
"Cough cough..." Lu Zheng's mouth twitched as he glanced at the expressionless Chu Mo, whispering: "We'll deal with this later, let father send you home first, alright?"
"Uh-huh..." Lu Tianqi's words were just an instinctive reaction out of embarrassment and anger, as she was still in shock and hadn't even begun to consider the implications of the scene she had caused tonight.
Lu Zheng immediately arranged for several cultivators from the Lu family to escort Lu Tianqi home.
Before leaving, Lu Tianqi secretly glanced at Chu Mo. The look in her eyes was not as full of hatred as people expected, but rather a complex one. It was confused and fearful, but hardly any resentment was present.
Lu Tianqi left.
There were still many people left at the scene.
The people who came here tonight were not only from the Hong Family, Jin Family, and Lu Family, but also many from the other large and small families in Jinxiu City.
Everyone wanted to know, how Lu Zheng, the head of the Lu family, would react to his own daughter being "bullied" in such a tragic manner.
However, to the disappointment of those with ulterior motives, Lu Zheng did not act as impulsively as they imagined, but instead, he first bowed his fists towards Jin Dongnan in an extremely sincere manner, saying: "Brother Dongnan, thank you for this time!"
In spite of his reluctance, this favor was something that Lu Zheng had to accept. If it wasn't for Jin Dongnan's words tonight, perhaps his daughter would have been fine, but the price the Lu family would have to pay might have been greater!
Jin Dongnan smiled and bowed in return: "It was all a misunderstanding. We have been friends for many years, there's no need for thanks. Young Master Chu is very generous..."
The group from the Lu family all twitched at his words. Generous? Then why was he still holding onto Lu Yifeng's severed arm? Why hasn't he hurriedly returned it? The longer he delays, the more difficult it would be to reattach Lu Yifeng's arm. He's generous, yet he made our "Young Master" weep?
But they could only think of these things in their hearts, definitely not while Chu Mo was present.
At this moment, Lu Zheng turned to Chu Mo, bowing his fists again: "I apologize, Young Master Chu, this was my daughter's mistake, please don't hold a grudge. Tomorrow, I will host a banquet and invite Young Master Chu and Brother Dongnan. At that time, I will apologize to you with a toast!"
"Brother Lu, you're too kind." said Jin Dongnan: "I will definitely attend the banquet tomorrow!" He then directly communicated to Chu Mo using his divine sense: Young Master Chu, agree to him, it will benefit you.
Jin Dongnan was afraid that Chu Mo, being young and impetuous, would do something over the top. They might have done something, but they should not overdo it. Otherwise, even if they originally had the right, they might end up in the wrong. Fortunately, Chu Mo's performance was unexpectedly mature, leaving almost no room for anyone to find fault with.
Chu Mo nodded: "Since Master Lu has said so, all matters can be discussed tomorrow." Saying this, Chu Mo bowed his fists towards Lu Zheng. The sight of him holding a severed arm and bowing his fists was rather strange. Chu Mo seemed to suddenly remember this matter and awkwardly said: "I nearly forgot, you all can take this back."
Lu Zheng's face softened slightly. He let someone take back Lu Yifeng's severed arm, not wanting to stay here another moment. He simply nodded at Hong Qiang, the Hong family leader. Ignoring everyone else, Lu Zheng prepared to leave with his people at once.
In Jinxiu City, Lu Zheng had the momentum to completely ignore the others.
Just then, a sudden change occurred again. A roar erupted from the nearby Xiangfu Inn: "Scoundrel, daring to attack Mr. Chicken here? Are you tired of living?"
Then a loud bang was heard in the night sky, and a figure quickly shot towards them, landing on the ground with a thud. He twitched violently on the floor, crying out in anguish.
Lu Zheng who was preparing to leave, paused his steps and frowned as he looked at the man on the ground. After one glance, his face instantly changed and he shouted angrily: "Who sent someone to mess with that chicken?"
That was because Lu Zheng instantly observed that the man's attire and manner was of the Lu Family style!
Although it was night and it was difficult for the others to see clearly, it was not difficult for Lu Zheng, given his cultivation level, to see clearly.
Just as the commotion here was subsiding, another one had arisen. Lu Zheng's rage began to flare up.
The look on Chu Mo's face also turned cold. He secretly sneered in his heart, it seems that the show of power tonight... wasn't enough!
At this moment, a person from the Lu family went up and took a closer look at the man, then said solemnly: "Master, this man is not from our family."
