Inside Chu Mo's mind, he suddenly recalled everything he had seen when he was at the Ruins, how the giant skeleton directly snatched Beiming Supreme Venerable's coffin lid—provoking the wrath of Beiming Supreme Venerable, who chased after him to the central great tomb of the Ruins but dared not take another step forward.

He thought of the state of those Supremes when they transmitted their Supreme Art in the Ruins, an attitude free of regret, without even a trace of hesitation!

At the time, Chu Mo naively believed that it was his talent that had moved these terrifying beings, but only now did he truly understand. Those Supremes had all once been followers by his grandfather's side!

They might have come from different eras, but without exception, their level of loyalty to his grandfather was unimaginable!

Even though they had become Supremes, their loyalty remained unchanged!

"So... this is the true meaning of being a follower." Chu Mo muttered to himself, finally coming to a real understanding, but the pressure in his heart suddenly increased. He looked at Yue Qingcheng, "You are already at the level of a Heavenly Immortal, just one step away from becoming a true immortal. You yourself... are qualified to be a young lord! Are you content with this?"

Yue Qingcheng smiled sweetly: "I know very well where my talent lies. Unless I am with a truly wise leader, this life... I might only peak at true immortal, at most... stepping into the Emperor Realm. But I... wish to pursue a greater Great Dao."

"You think so highly of me?" Chu Mo asked.

Seemingly less nervous and much bolder, Yue Qingcheng nodded: "Yes."

"Well then, okay!" Chu Mo finally nodded in agreement. He had his first true follower. Unlike Xiao Wanjun and Li Fangzhong, who saw themselves as servants, and although Fang Lan was his disciple, it seemed only Ping Ping... truly counted as his follower.

But at that time, neither Ping Ping nor Chu Mo truly understood the real meaning of being a follower.

"I will give Ping Ping a chance to choose again," Chu Mo thought to himself.

Yue Qingcheng bowed deeply to Chu Mo, addressing him as 'Young Master'.

From this moment on, she truly belonged entirely to Chu Mo.

For life or death, through honor and disgrace.

At that moment, Chu Qing said with a smile, "Zhang Shuangshuang is actually not bad; although somewhat spoiled and wilful, she is loyal enough. Long Qiushui probably hurt her this time; I think we should sway her to join us. And Tong Ying, she isn't a follower of Long Qiushui yet, hehe."

Hongyue gave Chu Qing a stern look: "Don't talk nonsense, don't corrupt Chu Mo, such things should never be done lightly." Hongyue looked seriously at Chu Mo: "For a master, male followers... are brothers with whom you share life and death; female followers... are your women! Can you just go and snatch someone else's woman?"

Chu Mo was stunned for a moment, glanced at the blushing Yue Qingcheng, then said, "What I like, I'll snatch..."

"Hahaha!" Chu Qing roared with schadenfreude.

Yue Qingcheng pursed her lips, trying not to laugh, while Hu Lie looked up at the sky, holding back his laughter.

"You rascal!" Hongyue sighed helplessly and waved her hand, sending Hu Lie and Yue Qingcheng to the Heavenly Dao Tree, taking Chu Mo and Chu Qing deeper into the Heavenly Dao Garden.

"The last time I was here, I was following my father, and that was several years ago," Chu Qing observed the surroundings and pouted, "Aunt is biased. I wanted to visit here last time, but she didn't allow me!"

Chu Mo looked at the furnishings around him and didn't find anything abnormal; it all seemed very ordinary. It wasn't even comparable to the decor of some wealthy families in the Immortal Realm.

Seeing that Hongyue ignored her, Chu Qing whispered to Chu Mo: "You don't know, this place is the restricted area of the entire Heavenly Dao Garden. Outsiders can't possibly enter here! This is where Aunt Hongyue practices her cultivation daily!"

"This place is good?" Chu Mo looked at Chu Qing with confusion.

Seeing the baffled expression on Chu Mo's face, Chu Qing helplessly said, "No one else can get in here!"

"That's it?" Chu Mo tugged at the corner of his mouth.

"Isn't that enough?" Chu Qing widened her eyes as she stared at Chu Mo.

"..." Chu Mo looked at Chu Qing speechlessly, "You win."

"Call me sister!" Chu Qing glared at Chu Mo fiercely, but deep in her bright eyes, there was a trace of nervousness. She could feel the stubbornness deep in the bones of this young man. In fact, all descendants of the Chu Clan were stubborn. It was a trait born in their blood.

So, although Chu Mo had always seemed quite calm and showed no signs of rejection towards her, who knew what he really thought?

Over the years, although the population of the Chu Clan in the Heavenly Realm wasn't particularly thriving, their foundation was still very deep. Many major clans in the Heavenly Realm had deep connections with the Chu Clan. In theory, protecting Chu Mo until he reached the Emperor Realm wouldn't be a difficult task.

But to this day, the Chu Clan had not made any move!

Even knowing that the Blood Demon Ancestor, that devil, was targeting Chu Mo, the Chu Clan did not react at all. It seemed as if they were letting Chu Mo fend for himself.

So, even if the Chu Clan really had some compelling difficulties, could Chu Mo truly understand them?

Putting herself in his shoes, Chu Qing felt that if she had undergone everything Chu Mo had, she might not easily forgive her family and those relatives.

But Chu Mo had always been very calm, looking at Chu Qing, he said, "Sister."

"..." Chu Qing was speechless, with her head full of black lines.

She had imagined many scenarios, but never this one. It was too easy? There was no difficulty at all, no challenge!

"Don't you want to ask something?" After a while, Chu Qing finally snapped out of it and looked at Chu Mo, "My dear younger brother, don't you have any complaints in your heart at all?"

"The things I want to ask, you mostly cannot answer. I don't want to harm you or myself," Chu Mo said. "As for complaints...why should I have complaints? You owe me nothing, why should I blame you? Knowing that I still have relatives alive in this world, you don't know how happy I am."

As he spoke, Chu Mo took a deep breath, his eyes slightly red, "I've known since I was young that I was an orphan, adopted by a grandfather who was a general in the secular world. At that time, I really wanted to find my parents and ask them why they abandoned me. Who knew...my parents weren't even in that realm, and later I realized, not in the Spirit Realm, not in the Immortal Realm...I searched all the way here. I finally learned some news about them and understood a little about what happened that year. I was very sad, even somewhat despairing. That despair...is when you receive news of your parents but then find out that the father is missing and his whereabouts unknown, and the mother... you can't even mention her name! I still don't know what her name is, what she looks like, where she is now, whether she's doing well, whether she's imprisoned, whether she's still alive? All of this... I don't know!"

With his eyes reddening, yet smiling, Chu Mo looked at Chu Qing, "At that moment, when I suddenly knew that I still had real blood relatives, you don't know how I felt. It was like...a beam of light shining into the darkness. So, why should I feel resentful? What is there to resent?"

Chu Qing was already in tears. She walked over and gently embraced Chu Mo, "Little brother, you have suffered!"

Hongyue stood to the side, looking up and sighing softly, her heart feeling very unsettled: Brother, can you see? Your son...he's like you!
