Liu He looked at Chu Mo calmly with a gentle smile on his face. "I don't quite agree with what you just said, Brother Chu Mo," he said.
Almost everyone in the room was stunned when they heard this. They looked at Liu He in shock and thought to themselves, What does that mean? Don't quite agree? Don't tell me … Do you really want this ugly young man to marry the ninth princess?
Even the ninth princess, Xia Zhenzhen, looked at Liu He with some doubt in her eyes. However, the intelligent Xia Zhenzhen had already guessed Liu He's little plan.
Sure enough, Liu He looked at Chu Mo and said sincerely, "Men and women should get married when they're of age. This is the natural order of the world. I don't think you should refuse."
Chu Mo looked at Liu He calmly, but the expression on his face softened a little. No matter what, these words sounded like something a human would say.
Then, Liu He said, "Let me say something that might offend you. I think the reason you rejected His Majesty is because … um, in terms of image … ahem, right?"
Chu Mo nodded slightly. Although he didn't say anything, he didn't look angry either.
Liu He said softly, "A good man's ambition is to travel far and wide. It's just an appearance. It's nothing at all. Since ancient times, there have been many people with ordinary looks who have made great achievements. As for this, I believe that you, my worthy younger brother, who is also familiar with the classics, should know about it. "
Chu Mo finally nodded. After all, he was still a child. How could he refuse someone who was nice to him?
Hence, Chu Mo's gaze on Liu He became very gentle.
He was very sensitive, but he was also very simple and kind. He knew that there was endless evil in this world, but he didn't want to believe that this evil would befall him.
Xia Zhenzhen stood there with a faint light in her eyes. She thought to herself, It seems that Liu He should have no problem solving this matter. However, she also felt that it was a pity. Because this was already the best chance they had!
For a beauty like her, no matter how talented Chu Mo was, she shouldn't have any feelings for such an ugly face. Not to mention that Chu Mo was much younger than her, and he had never really shown any talent.
The reason why she stood out at this time was not just to save the situation. Most importantly, it was because her master, the Water Lotus Fairy, had once commented on Chu Mo.
Speaking of this matter, it was because she had mentioned to her master that there was a person like Chu Mo.
Then the Water Lotus Fairy suddenly had a sudden impulse. She asked Xia Zhenzhen for Chu Mo's date of birth, and deduced it.
However, it was this deduction that shocked the Water Lotus Fairy. She had told Xia Zhenzhen that Chu Mo was a very strange young man. Don't be fooled by his ugly appearance, it was because of his fate! That appearance was not his original appearance.
"Although this child's body is weak and his meridians are blocked, his fate is a top-notch fate!"
At that time, Xia Zhenzhen had asked, what was a top-notch fate? Was it the fate of an emperor? At that time, she was a little nervous, because Chu Mo's father was a great general who had a large army under his control! If Chu Mo had the fate of an emperor, didn't that mean that Chu Mo's father had the possibility of rebelling?
In the end, the Water Lotus Fairy smiled and shook her head: "The fate of an emperor … is just a top-notch fate of great wealth. Being born in a dragon's vein and growing up to be a real dragon, it is still difficult to escape the word 'wealth'. But this Chu Mo is different. His top-notch fate is something that I, your master, cannot deduce at all. I can only know that his future achievements are limitless. He is definitely not a mortal world that can trap him. Right now, he is just a dragon hiding in the abyss. When the moment comes for him to soar into the sky, no one in this world can stop him. "
Xia Zhenzhen asked again, but the Water Lotus Fairy was unwilling to say more. She said that she had already revealed the heavenly secret. If she continued, she was afraid that she would be killed. She might even attract the Heavenly Tribulation!
But the Water Lotus Fairy also told Xia Zhenzhen that whether it was Chu Mo or his father, the whole Chu family would not rebel.
Xia Zhenzhen always remembered her master's words. So this time, when she saw that her father was in a difficult position, she remembered her master's words and immediately stood up impulsively. But after standing up, she couldn't help but feel a little regretful. Because to be honest, she didn't like this ugly young man who was many years younger than her. If she really married him, she would feel very sad.
Even if this young man could really soar into the sky in the future, she was not willing to marry him.
Fortunately, Liu He, the shield, stood up at this time. Although she also didn't like Liu He, she was still a little grateful to him in her heart.
At this time, Liu He looked at Chu Mo and continued to say: "So, I think you shouldn't refuse His Majesty. But this kind of thing also needs to be consensual. However, in such a public place, I believe that any princess would be too embarrassed to make a choice. Brother Chu Mo, you … would also be too embarrassed to make a choice. So, you should agree first, and then work hard to make yourself more outstanding. By then, a lot of things will happen naturally. "
After saying that, Liu He looked at Chu Mo sincerely: "What do you think?"
Although Chu Mo was young, he was not stupid. He was sensitive but very honest. Of course, he knew that Liu He liked the ninth princess and had been pursuing her. But in his heart, he wasn't too disgusted with this matter, because he knew very well that he wasn't good enough for the ninth princess. If the ninth princess had really said what she said just now, it would have been difficult to clean up this matter.
Therefore, after listening to Liu He's words, Chu Mo knew that as long as he agreed with Liu He's point of view, Liu He's reputation would be further improved, and he would even leave a good impression in the eyes of the Emperor. But he still nodded. He said softly: "You are right."
Then, many people in the banquet hall couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Then they stole a glance at the Emperor.
As expected, the Emperor also showed a satisfied look on his face.
However, the Emperor was the Emperor after all, so he couldn't praise Liu He on the spot. He sat there calmly and said with a smile, "It seems that my good nephew isn't too interested in my princesses. How about this? Later on, you should make a career for yourself. If you like any of the princesses, I … will help you decide!"
These words made the hearts of the princes, dukes, and ministers churn again. They were all cursing in their hearts: Are you going to betray us again after you've said that?
However, they only thought about it. Naturally, no one dared to say it out loud.
Just like that, the storm disappeared without a trace. At the same time, Liu He's reputation in the capital city soared.
In an instant, the other four of the Five Young Masters of the Capital City were all overshadowed by him. This made Liu He seem to have surpassed the level of the Five Young Masters of the Capital City, and he could be used as an example. Even many ministers couldn't help but use Liu He as an example when lecturing their juniors.
After this incident, Chu Mo stayed silent at home for a long time. Although there had been a little ripple in the young man's heart, he had long forgotten about it. He devoted all his experience to the ocean of knowledge, absorbing all kinds of knowledge crazily.
It didn't matter whether there were princesses who liked him or not. In his heart, he also wanted to make a career.
However, this peace was broken in the end.
Half a month after the royal banquet, the Ninth Princess, Xia Zhenzhen, came to visit in person!
After seeing Chu Mo, Xia Zhenzhen was very enthusiastic, and even revealed a hint of ambiguity about Chu Mo.
A stone stirred up a thousand ripples.
There were many things that couldn't be hidden from the observant. Xia Zhenzhen visited Chu Mo and had a pleasant conversation with him. Four hours later, she left reluctantly. This news spread like wildfire in the capital city.
Even the Emperor couldn't help but call Xia Zhenzhen over to ask her what she wanted.
"I like him!" Xia Zhenzhen replied with a matter-of-fact expression.
No one could accept this answer, let alone the Emperor.
However, the Emperor couldn't accept it, not simply because he couldn't bear to part with his precious daughter. There was a deeper consideration.
"Zhenzhen, what do you think about this matter? You have to tell me the truth. I know that you are born with intelligence, and I also know that your teacher is a real genius. So, you have to tell me what your plan is. Don't think that Chu Mo is a simple child, but even if he is a fool, you can't tease him. You should understand why. "The Emperor said to Xia Zhenzhen with a rare seriousness.
Xia Zhenzhen smiled: "Of course I know! Of course I know that he is not simple. If he was simple, why would I like him? I don't want to tease him, and I know the importance of it, father. "
"Then, did your teacher tell you something?" The Emperor was also very shrewd and intelligent. Of course, he could see that his daughter didn't really like Chu Mo. So, the only reason for his daughter to get close to Chu Mo should be that her teacher, the Water Lotus Immortal … had said something.
"Teacher came here a few days ago and secretly observed Chu Mo. She said that Chu Mo is a natural talent. His fate is not in the three realms, let alone the five elements. She said that if he steps into the world of cultivation, he will become a real peerless genius! " Xia Zhenzhen looked at his father and said softly: "Moreover, Teacher also said that if I can be with him, and have a boy and a girl, then my future will be limitless!"
"This … Is this true?" The Emperor frowned slightly. Obviously, he was thinking about something wrong.
Xia Zhenzhen quickly said: "It's not what you think. Father, people all seek wealth because they can't seek immortality. But Teacher said that if I can have a relationship with Chu Mo, then I can expect immortality! "
The Emperor couldn't help but gasp and looked at Xia Zhenzhen in disbelief.
Xia Zhenzhen nodded: "That's right."
"The Water Lotus Immortal … Known as the real Banished Immortal of this world, she knows the past, present, and future. Since she said that, then there should be a reason. But, does that child, Chu Mo, really have such a great future?"
The Emperor's face was still full of disbelief. He couldn't accept it.
