"Your experiences... are they all more or less the same?" Chu Mo asked the other girls in a soft voice. At this moment, his heart seemed to be gently stirred by something.

Xiao Yiyue nodded: "Yes, Yiniang is the luckiest among us. She met you at her most dangerous moment. Therefore, among us sisters, she is living the best life now... she's the most outstanding one!"

"Why don't you ask me where Miao Yi Niang has gone?" Chu Mo looked at these women and said with a bitter smile, "How can you be sure that I didn't harm her and seize her inheritance?"

"Palace Lord, don't joke. Immortal has already sent a message to the Four Symbols Continent that Miao Yi Niang has officially become a disciple of the Immortal sect, under the tutelage of its leader, Shen Aobing. The Immortal sect, which rarely has any interaction with the Four Symbols Continent, has made an exception for her." Xiao Yiyue replied.

"What?" An interesting expression crossed Chu Mo's face. He wasn't surprised by the news of Immortal informing the Four Symbols Continent. This top sect showing off was expected.

What surprised him was that the arrogant, domineering, and ice-cold woman... was actually the leader of Immortal!

Not an elder or something?

Didn't Shen Xingxue once call that woman her aunt? In that case, isn't Shen Xingxue's lineage incredibly impressive? If this relationship... became known to the world, how many sects in the Four Symbols Continent would dare to have designs on Great Xia?

Why hasn't the Emperor ever mentioned it?

As soon as this thought formed in Chu Mo's mind, he thought of the answer himself.

That woman, Shen Aobing, even dared to gouge out the eyes of the crown prince and threaten to kill the Emperor.

As long as the Emperor hadn't gone mad, he certainly wouldn't dare to make this relationship public...

However, where he didn't dare, I did!

Chu Mo had always been worried that one day, after his Master left, Great Xia would be affected due to his own involvement. The pursuit of a thousand fighters from thousands of miles away, combined with the massive primordial stone vein beneath the Skybreaker Mountain... these two factors alone were enough to provoke various sects to take action against Great Xia!

A glimmer of amusement passed through Chu Mo's eyes. "Shen Aobing... I'm sorry. I plan to borrow the reputation of your Immortal sect."

"Palace Lord, did you not knew about this?" As Chu Mo processed this information, Xiao Yiyue asked in surprise and then realized, "You probably didn't have time to notice due to the war between Great Qi and Great Xia."

Chu Mo shook his head slightly with a bitter smile, "Actually, even if I wasn't busy with these matters, I may not have heard about it. Because... I have never entered the world of martial arts."

Xiao Yiyue looked at Chu Mo, her gaze somewhat vacant, "But in this martial world... your reputation, Palace Lord, has already become quite illustrious!"

Zhao Xiaoxiao said, "Yes, many people have taken notice of us, but no one has ever dared to cause trouble for us..."

Only now did Chu Mo notice that these women were still kneeling on one knee. He quickly said, "You...get up quickly. I can't be your Palace Lord. I don't have the qualifications for it..."

"If the Palace Lord does not agree, we will not get up!" Xiao Yiyue looked at Chu Mo with a firm gaze, "Perhaps the Palace Lord is still hoping... to let Yiniang be the Palace Lord when she returns, right?"

Chu Mo nodded, "You...disagree?"

"No, how could we disagree?" Xiao Yiyue sighed, "Being the Palace Lord of Piaomiao Palace now doesn't mean just honer and power like before... it is filled with responsibilities and burdens. We can't face such burdens to be the Palace Lord so we'll naturally not refuse a stronger person to take the duty."

"Then what about you guys?" Chu Mo asked, somewhat confused.

Xiao Yiyue replied, "When Immortal issued that notice, it was not only telling all the sects on the Four Symbols Continent not to trouble Miao Yi Niang. In fact, they were also telling us that Miao Yi Niang... has officially become part of the Immortal sect!"

"Once you are part of the Lone City Sword, Beyond Heaven, and Immortal sect, it's like being too far from shore." Guo Yixiao whispered softly.

"What does that mean?" Chu Mo frowned, "Does it mean that once you become part of these four sects, you can't do what you want to do for the rest of your life?"

"Palace Lord can understand it that way." Xiao Yiyue replied, "Even marriage... can only happen within these four sects..."

"Damn it!" Chu Mo cursed.

"Palace Lord, don't get angry. This is the confidence of Immortal... there exist terrifying powers among their sect members that outsiders can't even imagine." Xiao Yiyue looked at Chu Mo with some worry. She had thought that there might be deep feelings between Chu Mo and Miao Yi Niang. Chu Mo's reaction now confirmed her conjecture.

"Although the Palace Lord's master is an incredibly strong figure, he... will leave eventually. Moreover, he is alone." Xiao Yiyue looked at Chu Mo, "Yiniang... if she cannot leave Immortal, then it's certain that she can't become the Palace Lord of Piaomiao Palace. So... you... are our Palace Lord!"

Guo Yixiao chimed in, "It's not just us who think this way; more than 300 former Piaomiao Palace disciples currently in Yanhuang City all think the same way! They have long regarded you... as the Palace Lord of Piaomiao Palace. Otherwise... how could we have gathered here and became members of 'Heaven Slaying'?"

Chu Mo was silent for a moment before nodding, "Okay, for now, I'll take on the responsibility of Palace Lord! But don't worry, one day, I will bring Yiniang out from Immortal. Whether she wants to be Palace Lord or not, it doesn't matter. The person she wants to marry is her own choice! But every choice... must be made willingly by her! If anyone... dares to force her, I won't mind... killing him."

As he said these words, Chu Mo helped up the girls one by one.

However, the intense murderous intent radiating from him for that moment left these scattered and wandering disciples of Piaomiao Palace feeling both touched and worried.

This is Immortal, after all!

Even the top sect of the Azure Dragon Continent, Longevity Heaven, could make their minds numb just with its name.

Let alone Immortal, this top existence on the Four Symbols Continent.

Can their Palace Lord really withstand it?

After having Chu Yan see off these beautiful women, Chu Mo returned home.

If Chu Mo had been indifferent to managing Piaomiao Royal Academy, the Chu Mo now, holding ten storage rings, was indisputably the true master of Piaomiao Palace—its first one after ten years of desolation—no matter how you looked at it.

Even if he didn't want to manage, he has to do it now! (To be continued. If you like this book, please consider voting for it on qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users can read it on m.qidian.com.)
