After everyone entered the hall, they took their seats as the host and guest. This time, Li Zhongyuan invited the Demon King to sit at the head of the table. They were all old fellows, so how could they not know how to conduct themselves? Previously, they looked down on the Demon King because they really looked down on the Demon King. They felt that he was really lucky to have a disciple like Chu Mo. But looking at Chu Mo's attitude towards their master, they understood one thing. The consequences of provoking the Demon King might be much more serious than provoking Chu Mo.
So, the change in attitude was fast and natural, without the slightest bit of embarrassment.
The Demon King had been very calm until this moment, when his face showed a faint trace of unnaturalness. He looked down on the Celestial Realm, but it didn't mean that he didn't know the rules. It was impossible for any big shot to make him bow his head!
But this preferential treatment came from his disciple. While the Demon King was touched and warm, there was a faint sense of loss, but more than that … there was a kind of pride from the bottom of his heart!
I'm just lucky to have such a disciple. You guys can be jealous!
So very soon, he calmed down. He sat there calmly, without any unnaturalness.
Then, someone served tea, and Li Zhongyuan said slowly, "Young Master Chu, do you think it's a little strange?"
Chu Mo nodded. "It's a little strange. Although I've always heard that the Illusion Gate is a reasonable place, being reasonable and being cowardly are two different things. There's no need to be so courteous after their ten-thousand-year-old gate was smashed. "
"It's not just ten-thousand-year-old … that gate, that gate has millions of years of history!" One of the people who looked at Chu Mo unkindly earlier couldn't help but complain.
"It's fine …" Li Zhongyuan waved his hand and said, "We were the ones who smashed their dojo first, and they only smashed our gate. Speaking of which, we're already taking advantage of them."
"How can that be the same?" Another elder couldn't help but chime in.
Li Zhongyuan said, "There's no difference. Although strength is respected in this world, some identities and statuses are equally respected. With Young Master Chu's status, he was worthy of such an action. Not to mention destroying our mountain gate, even if he destroyed the entire Illusory Gate today, it wouldn't matter. "
Everyone was shocked by his words. Even Chu Mo looked at Li Zhongyuan in surprise. He thought to himself, Is this Lord Headmaster crazy? What status do I have? Status earned through fighting? Even if the Illusion Gate is a little wary of me, it shouldn't be to this extent, right?
Li Zhongyuan waved his hand and said to Chu Mo, "I apologize to Young Noble Chu on behalf of the Illusion Gate if we offended you before. At the same time, Miss Qin Shi and Miss Dong Yu, I'm sorry for startling you. "
Li Zhongyuan stood up and bowed slightly to Qin Shi and Dong Yu.
Both Qin Shi and Dong Yu were slightly taken aback. Then, they stood up and gracefully returned the greeting. For the two princesses of the Heaven Realm, politeness was something that they would never lack.
However, the confusion in their hearts grew stronger. The Illusion Gate had always been known for being reasonable, but wasn't this a little too reasonable? They had never seen such a reasonable sect!
Li Zhongyuan then sat down and said to Chu Mo, "There was indeed a reason why we targeted Miss Qin Shi and Miss Dong Yu and destroyed the Ethereal Palace. At that time, we didn't know about our relationship with Young Noble Chu. "
"Huh?" Chu Mo looked at Li Zhongyuan. He really couldn't think of any relationship between him and the Illusion Gate's headmaster.
Li Zhongyuan didn't continue to talk in riddles and said calmly, "There were a total of three parties involved in targeting the Ethereal Palace and the two ladies. I'm sure you'll understand once I say it. "
Dong Yu said, "The Dong Clan, the Qin Clan and the Luo Clan?"
Li Zhongyuan said, "Miss Dong is smart. It was indeed those three clans, and later … there was a fourth clan."
Coldly, Chu Mo said, "The Zhuge Clan of the Heaven Realm?"
Li Zhongyuan nodded, "Indeed. But at that time, we already knew some things, so we rejected the Zhuge Clan. But before that, our Illusion Gate in the Heaven Realm did indeed agree to the three clans' request to take the two ladies into the Illusion Gate. There was no other reason. Some people from the Qin Clan and the Dong Clan didn't want the two ladies to find trouble with them when they grew up. So we asked the Illusion Gate in the Heaven Realm. As for the Luo Clan … they wanted Young Noble Chu's life. "
Li Zhongyuan said and glanced at Chu Mo, "They all know Young Noble Chu's personality. If someone destroyed the Ethereal Palace's dojo and put your friends in danger, Young Noble Chu would definitely not sit by and do nothing. That way … they would have a chance to target Young Noble Chu. "
Coldly, Dong Yu said, "How treacherous!"
Li Zhongyuan smiled bitterly, "This was originally just a deal. To be honest, we didn't think it was a big deal at first. In fact, the Illusion Gate didn't really want to do anything to Young Noble Chu. After all, there was no enmity between us. Others might covet Young Noble Chu's inheritance, but our Illusion Gate … doesn't lack it. The reason why we agreed was that the Illusion Gate owed the Luo Clan a favor. This favor was not small and had to be repaid. So at that time, we planned to lure Young Noble Chu to the Illusion Gate and find someone to fight a few rounds with him. Whether we won or lost, we wouldn't have let the Luo Clan down. But we didn't expect the situation to change. When someone heard about this, he went to the Illusion Gate in the Heaven Realm and told the people there that Young Noble Chu must not be touched! "
Chu Mo frowned slightly, a thoughtful expression on his face. He seemed to have thought of something.
Li Zhongyuan continued, "The person who found the Illusion Gate has an extremely high status. It can be said that no one in the entire Illusion Gate can stand on equal footing with him. Moreover, that person told us about the origin and we finally understood that Young Noble Chu is the descendant of a great person. With this relationship, the Illusion Gate will not do anything against Young Noble Chu. So, as I said earlier, don't say that Young Noble Chu only destroyed the Illusion Gate. If Young Noble Chu can't vent his anger, even if he destroyed the entire Illusion Gate … it doesn't matter. "
Origin, great person, descendant.
These keywords caused the hearts of the Demon Lord and the others to be extremely shocked.
In the cultivation world, those who could be called great people … were few and far between.
What kind of person could be considered a great person? A Supreme Martial Artist? Not necessarily!
Because even a Supreme Martial Artist only had a profound cultivation base. If he didn't do great deeds of kindness, how could he gain the recognition of the entire cultivation world? How could he be called a great person?
Qin Shi and Dong Yu's starry eyes blinked as they looked at Chu Mo. Their gazes were filled with questions, but most of them were filled with shock.
Not everyone in the Illusion Gate knew the details of this matter. Therefore, those who had looked at Chu Mo with hostility were now looking at their Sect Master in shock.
At this time, Chu Mo really understood that this matter had something to do with his family. To be more precise, it had something to do with his half-Saint grandfather!
In the cultivation world, the only person who could be called a great person was his grandfather who had once fought against foreign invaders.
But he didn't expect that the Illusion Gate was also related to the Chu Clan.
At this thought, Chu Mo stood up and bowed to Li Zhongyuan. "I see. So it seems that what happened before was all a misunderstanding?"
