Yiyi entered the ancient hall and said to the group of elders who had not yet departed, as well as her father, Shui Hong'an, the head of the Shui Family, "Chu Mo said he will come in one day."

"Hm?"

"Ah?"

"What?"

"Chu Mo is coming?"

Everyone in the great hall was momentarily caught off guard. However, soon after, all faces were struck with astonishment as they turned their gazes collectively toward Yiyi.

Shui Hong'an asked his daughter Yiyi, "Really?"

Even though Yiyi had already become an elder, she couldn't help but respond with a bit of coquettish indignation to her own father, "Would I make up something like that?"

"What is he coming for?" Shui Hong'an looked at his daughter nervously.

Previously, Yiyi had made it very clear, Chu Mo was not satisfied with the arranged marriage set by the elders, and he had several times shown the intention of wanting to break off the engagement. Now that he was coming to the Shui Family in person, what was he planning to discuss? If he was indeed coming to call off the marriage, the face the Shui Family would lose would be too great!

Especially since Yiyi had previously professed her love for Chu Mo on the announcement boards, and the Shui Family had always been staunch supporters of the Chu Clan's lineage.

Shui Hong'an's excitement from hearing the news was gone, replaced by a feeling of headache. Based on the information he had on Chu Mo, he could tell that this was a very obstinate young man—very few could truly influence him.

Seeing her somewhat nervous father, Yiyi felt a mix of desolation in her heart. Despite being the treasured princess of the Shui Family, dedicating her heart to him, he had been indifferent. And now, he was coming to her doorstep. If he was truly here to call off the engagement... what should I do? However, immediately after, Yiyi dismissed this guess in her mind.

Although she had not spent a long time with Chu Mo, her understanding of him was unmatched by many.

Therefore, she gave her father and the elders a slight smile, "He said he is passing by and thought to pay a visit along the way."

Shui Hong'an looked at his daughter with some suspicion. He could sense the emotional shift in his daughter just moments ago, but it was not appropriate to ask in the presence of others. After all, this was a matter related to his daughter's reputation. He could only force a smile, "Is that so, haha, that's nice... I've been looking forward to meeting this young talent myself."

"Ah, haha, yes, indeed, Young Master Chu is truly a dragon among men, we've also been eager to meet him..."

"Hehe... Indeed, indeed, we've long admired Young Master Chu's reputation..."

A group of Shui Family elders all scoffed awkwardly on the side.

Yiyi couldn't help but roll her eyes, thinking to herself: Nice, my foot! Admired for what? Just look at your expressions. Do you have to be so reluctant? What are you worried about? Afraid that Chu Mo will come to break off the engagement and slap your faces? Or that I, Yiyi, won't be able to get married?

However, Yiyi kept silent in the face of the elders' reactions because, even herself, her initial reaction was the same as theirs.

The news of Chu Mo's visit was not deliberately concealed, as he was arriving the next day, and there was no point in hiding it. Thus, the entire Shui Family soon became aware that the young magnate who made waves in the Heavenly Realm was coming here.

Then, someone posted the news directly onto the announcement boards, and after that... the entire Cultivation Realm knew of this news.

"Shui Family's future son-in-law is finally coming to visit!"

"I'm so heartbroken, my goddess Yiyi, is about to become another's wife..."

"Get over it, you can tell at a glance that you have no idea how formidable Yiyi truly is!"

"Chu Mo visiting the Shui Family, is it the new beau coming for an introduction?"

The message board rapidly filled with a barrage of related posts.

To this, Yiyi was at a loss for words, somewhat dazed that such news could spread so quickly and even cause such a sensation. It seemed that nowadays, anything related to Chu Mo could arouse the interest of countless people!

As a result, she even sent a message to Chu Mo to explain the situation. She was worried that Chu Mo might misinterpret her for deliberately leaking the news to pressure him, forcing him to not make that kind of decision.

Chu Mo only replied with two words, but they made Yiyi feel an urge to cry and lifted her spirits greatly!

"Rest assured."

Chu Mo's visit to the Shui Family could be seen as a passing move, or it could be intentional. Not only did he need to go to the Chu Family, but he also needed to visit all the families related to the Chu Clan's lineage!

The Chu Family had never abandoned him, and the people of the Chu Family had always cared for him. As the only heir to the Chu Family now, he had to shoulder some responsibilities that he hadn't noticed before.

For instance, pacifying the related families of the Chu Clan's lineage!

Previously, due to the Qin Family's widespread conquests, many of the families connected to the Chu Clan suffered severe losses, some even being annihilated unexpectedly. Like Purple Smoke City, like the Yue Family... too many innocent people died.

Chu Mo was both enraged and heartbroken over this, and at the time, he also felt helpless.

Those who came from the Chu Clan then focused their energies on finding and destroying Luotian's devastating arrays. The pacification and protection of the related families of the Chu Clan were overlooked.

Chu Mo felt that this was a task most suitable for him to undertake.

Given that, which family should he visit first?

After leaving Divine Pill City, Chu Mo looked at the map of the Heavenly Realm and found that the Shui Family was not particularly far away. With his movement technique, he could arrive in about three or four days. Of course, the distances to the other two families were not much different either.

But after some deliberation, Chu Mo decided to visit the Shui Family first.

It was a matter of attitude!

Although he wanted to reject the marriage, he had never thought of actively breaking it off, because doing so would be akin to directly slapping the Shui Family's face, and the damage to Yiyi would be the greatest.

So Chu Mo planned to deal with this matter in a different way, by giving it the cold shoulder.

According to Chu Mo's thoughts, after resolving the issue with the Demon Clan, he would sooner or later break through to the Supreme Realm and then leave the Yanhuang region to find his mother!

Some things would fade over time. He and Yiyi had no deep emotional foundation between them, and as time passed, Yiyi would gradually forget him and start a new life.

But Chu Mo, who was emotionally clumsy, had forgotten one thing. In the eyes of others, he and Qi Xiaoyu had seemed to have no deep emotional foundation either, yet hadn't they loved each other deeply? The only difference was that his feeling for Qi Xiaoyu was mutual while Yiyi's was unrequited. That was the only difference.

Time could dilute many things, but equally, time could also make certain emotions imprint even deeper.

After receiving a message from Yiyi, Chu Mo looked at the discussion board on the message tablet and couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time. At the same time, many people had sent him messages.

Hu Lie: "Brother, have you finally accepted this relationship? That's good. Honestly, I feel that the elf is not as well-matched with you as Yiyi is."

Chu Qing: "Little brother, what are you doing at the Shui Family? Remember, you can only pacify, don't do anything foolish. Yiyi looks like a little fox demoness, but she's actually very fragile, so don't hurt her."

Xiao Changping: "Congratulations."

Liu Yun: "Hehe."

Liu Feng: "You're going to be my brother-in-law! Why are you visiting the Shui Family?"

Xuan'er: "Have you finally made your choice?"

Xuanxuan: "Are you going to be my little uncle now? Then won't I be your junior? Give me a treasure... I heard you've looted quite a lot of good stuff recently."

Lu Hongxue: "Congratulations, brother!"

Yue Qingcheng: "Young Master, I'm still in the Heavenly Dao Garden. When are you coming back? Are you going to propose?"

There were messages from many others, like Qi Bo, Mao Hanhai, Huang Wushuang... Even Die sent a message, asking if Chu Mo was going to propose and inquiring about the whereabouts of the little elf, telling him to treat his feelings seriously. But in the end, she added, "Hurry up and give us a grandchild to play with."

"..." Looking at all these messages from his friends, Chu Mo felt his head spinning.

He suddenly wondered if choosing the Shui Family as his first stop had been a mistake?
