In his heart, however, he cursed silently: What a cunning little thing immune to persuasion, Old man here is clearly trying to push such an outstanding girl into your arms, yet you can still maintain such high vigilance…
Thinking to himself, the Ping Family head looked at his granddaughter with some disappointment and thought: Ping Ping, this silly girl, is truly a fool! Do you really think your grandfather is using you? Have you forgotten what I just said to you?
At that moment, Ping Ping also cautiously lifted her head, sneaking a glance at her grandfather.
In her heart, turmoil was brewing as well.
Towards Chu Mo, she harbored natural curiosity and some admiration. Under normal circumstances, she wouldn't mind making friends with such a young talent. If there were indeed such feelings, becoming his close female friend wouldn't be something she'd reject.
The purple bloodline, ah!
Those who have never entered the Illusionary God Realm will never understand what this bloodline means in the cultivation realm.
It's just, that has to be under normal circumstances of meeting each other. How awkward is the current situation? How awkward? You don't really need to say, do you? Just experiencing the strange atmosphere in the banquet hall should be enough, right?
What is this scene?
The entire Ping Family is suppressed by a young man to the point where it has no other means left!
All it can do is bow its head, submit, and kneel in defeat!
Gather all the young and beautiful girls, leaving them at one's disposal to pick and choose from!
The girls who are here today, on ordinary days, aren't they all like fairies high above the rest?
They are the true princesses of this world!
But now… fairies? Fools would be more like it!
Ping Ping's heart replayed the words her grandfather had advised her with just a moment ago.
"Alright, there is indeed a little bit of using you involved, as long as he is willing to accept you, even if it's just to make you a maid by his side, then he would feel bad about continuing to make things difficult for the Ping Family,"
"However, most of it is still for your sake!"
"Do you think your grandfather doesn't want to extract immense value from him? Do you think your grandfather only has eyes for benefits? Alright alright, indeed there's a bit of that, but it's also for your own good! What end did those who wanted to forcefully take from Chu Mo meet? The dead died, the wasted were wasted; none had a good outcome!"
"Even the terrifying Blood Demon Ancestor wasn't able to return alive! Think about the Ouyang Family, think about the Fire Sect! Think about the Lingyue Sect and Lingdong Mountain… has any of those who opposed him had a good ending?"
"So, it's impossible to take a hard approach with Chu Mo!"
"But if brute force doesn't work, a soft approach certainly can!"
"If you can win Chu Mo's favor, are you afraid your future won't be bright? Compared to him, those sons of the great families from the Immortal Realm are nothing but trash!"
Thinking of her grandfather's last words to her, Ping Ping's heart suddenly lit up like a flash of lightning, feeling an enlightening clarity.
Indeed, compared to Chu Mo, those aloof peacocks who spread their feathers proudly in front of her in the Illusionary God Realm and who are meek and cautious in front of Heavenly Realm cultivators, are really just like trash!
At that moment, Ping Ping, feeling her grandfather's disappointed gaze, suddenly lifted her head, the frost on her face melted in an instant, and she revealed a smile as warm as the spring breeze through her teary face: "I'm sorry... Young Master Chu, I, I am happy to have met you!"
In that instant, hearts shattered all around.
This banquet hall was not filled with just those young and beautiful women, but also many outstanding young descendants of the Ping Family!
This is how the Ping Family educates its younger generation, showing them the good side; that as descendants of the Ping Family, they must always be aware of their identity and status.
"You were born noble!"
"You are naturally meant to be the ones who bully others!"
But they also need to understand the bad side.
"The Ping Family is not the only most powerful family in the world."
"There will be times of weakness!"
Like now!
To ensure the growth of the younger generation within the family, some matters must involve their participation. They need to see, to hear, and then to comprehend!
In such a family, it is very difficult not to mature.
Because with more exposure, naturally, they will become more mature than others.
Among these young descendants of the family, there were naturally many who secretly admired Ping Ping, the jewel of heaven. Yet, they always dared only to admire her from afar with reverence, never daring to harbor any disrespectful thoughts.
Even though most of them no longer had close blood relations with her, still, no one dared to actively pursue Ping Ping.
They just felt that being able to see the most delicate flower of their family often was already a tremendous blessing.
But now, this goddess in their hearts, the most delicate and moving flower of the Ping Family, was actually showing her most beautiful smile to another man, saying, "I am very pleased to see you!"
This was not just heartbreak, it was the shattering of a dream!
It made them finally realize the cruelty of this world.
If the person standing here today were not the renowned Chu Mo, if it were just an ordinary little cultivator from the Spirit Realm, even if Ping Ping loved him to the marrow of her bones, this group of people would have countless ways to make that person disappear without a trace!
Then continue to quietly watch the goddess in their hearts frequently appear before them.
But with this person... they did not have the courage!
Not even one dared to give Chu Mo a resentful glance!
So many precedents lay before them!
Elder Ping Shu is still unconscious to this moment!
These events were enough to deter these passionate young men and make them completely calm down.
Chu Mo looked at Ping Ping, slightly furrowed his brow, and then said, "Now that you have seen me, you may go back."
Hum!
A low murmur of surprise rose in the banquet hall.
People did not expect that this exceedingly handsome and renowned young man would be so cold... Such coldness was not at all evident on his face!
Ping Ping was also stunned; she looked at Chu Mo somewhat blankly, forgetting her shyness, forgetting her reluctance, with only bewilderment remaining: Is he really sending me away?
The Patriarch of the Ping Family, seeing that the situation was turning dire, knew his granddaughter's character better than anyone. She seemed gentle as water, but in reality, she was also an extremely proud young girl to the bone!
Immediately, he interjected, "Young Master Chu, why don't I let my granddaughter learn something from you? The Ping Family has erred and should not have provoked Young Master Chu, and we will naturally compensate Young Master Chu fully for his losses. But as for my granddaughter... cough cough, she truly admires Young Master Chu very much, and the family's matters are unrelated to her. How about letting her stay by Young Master Chu's side for a while, serving as a maidservant, pouring tea and water for you?
Ping Ping's tear-streaked face immediately went blank. Although she had been aware that her grandfather wanted to send her to Chu Mo, she never imagined that her grandfather actually wanted her to become a maidservant to this man!
What about her purple bloodline?
What of being a peerless heavenly genius?
Where am I, Ping Ping, lacking?
Why should I serve as his maidservant?
Just as Ping Ping was about to speak out in protest, she suddenly saw her grandfather's face full of pleadings, his gaze even carrying a hint of begging. Ping Ping suddenly understood—this time... the Ping Family was truly on the brink of doom!
This seemingly harmless young man had nearly completely overturned the Ouyang Family and the Fire Sect!
Now... it was the Ping Family's turn!
Perhaps her decision could not truly save the fate of the Ping Family. Yet, she was absolutely capable of easily infuriating this young man, directly plunging the Ping Family into utter ruin!
Otherwise, with her grandfather's character, he would never make such a pleading expression, even upon death!
"I... I am very good at serving people..." Ping Ping, suppressing the indignation within her heart, looked at Chu Mo and spoke. But inwardly, she was screaming: While this mess is the Ping Family's fault, you are a great demon king! A great demon king! A great demon king!
Chu Mo, the great demon king!
