"Really?" Hu Lie looked at Chu Mo with a skeptical face.

"Really!" Chu Mo looked back at Hu Lie with a face full of confidence.

"Well, as long as you don't leave the city, he can't do much to you for now. I'll see if I can think of a way to resolve this matter." Hu Lie sighed and turned to leave.

Even he himself didn't quite believe that there was a possibility of reconciling this issue.

Who is Shangguan Nan? He's one of the current Heavenly Geniuses of the Shangguan Family. Although he's not a top-tier Heavenly Genius, he is undoubtedly the number one person in the Human Layer of the Spiritual Realm.

The proud number one persona of the Human Layer, and a son of the Shangguan Family, was slapped in the face by a person so weak that he could be directly ignored. His threats were all thrown back in his face... it can be said that Shangguan Nan has lost a lot of face today.

Chu Mo confronting him head-on is enough to incite Shangguan Nan's killing intent towards Chu Mo. In addition, those in the communication area who were dissatisfied with Shangguan Nan, or had ulterior motives, were all fanning the flames, pushing this matter towards the worst possible outcome.

Even if Hu Lie wanted to turn things around, he felt powerless to do so.

This was a headache of a situation, even for him. But looking at Chu Mo, who didn't seem worried about Shangguan Nan's potential retaliation, Hu Lie's heart became a bit complicated.

On one hand, he admired Chu Mo's courage for standing up to the likes of Shangguan Nan and rescuing Qi Xiaoyu, succeeding at that. On the other hand, he was considering whether or not he was making a mistake in becoming brothers with this one who had made a big mess.

What would Qingfeng do if it were him facing this situation?

Hu Lie thought that Qingfeng would probably cut ties with Chu Mo right away, right?

It must be so!

Qingfeng, who appears gentle and humble, is actually clever and cunning, never willing to suffer a loss.

"So is what I'm doing right or wrong?" Standing outside, Hu Lie looked up at the hazy sky in the Spiritual Realm and murmured to himself, "Right or wrong, at least I, Hu Lie, am loyal to my friends, loyal to my heart!"

Inside the room, only Qi Xiaoyu and Chu Mo were left.

Weirdly, even after Hu Lie left, neither of them seemed to want to speak.

Chu Mo was thinking about how to talk to Qi Xiaoyu; Qi Xiaoyu simply didn't know what to say.

After a long time, they both lifted their heads and said at the same time, "Let's talk..."

Immediately after, both of them fell silent, then simultaneously said, "You go first!"

Even the usually aloof and indifferent Qi Xiaoyu's fair face was suffused with a touch of blush. She didn't understand why there was such a tacit understanding between them.

But in the end, it was her who broke the silence.

"Who are you? H... How did you know?" Xiaoyu asked in a mysterious way.

But Chu Mo understood what she was talking about because when he took Qi Xiaoyu's hand earlier, he had only conveyed one sentence to her, not the lengthy communication Shangguan Nan had imagined.

Chu Mo had whispered, "You have a flower on your waist!"

An Elf flower!

Only the imperial descendants of the Elf Clan were entitled to have that flower tattooed there, which was the most beautiful flower Chu Mo had ever seen.

Chu Mo didn't understand what the flower signified, but he had indeed seen it before.

Back in the mortal realm, when Qi Xiaoyu was with Chu Mo, despite the lack of a clearly-defined relationship, they both harbored feelings for each other in their hearts.

Plus, at that time Qi Xiaoyu, her memory sealed, hadn't paid any attention to that beautiful tattoo on her body.

If her memory had not been sealed, even though she deeply loved Chu Mo... But before marrying Chu Mo, she would never have allowed Chu Mo to see that flower.

Hence, Chu Mo's whispered message didn't seem potent to him, but to Qi Xiaoyu, it was akin to a thunderbolt!

To stay composed and not reveal any abnormalities to Shangguan Nan already pushed Qi Xiaoyu to her limit.

As soon as Hu Lie left, Qi Xiaoyu wanted to ask this question, but for some reason, her heart sped up when facing this young man.

This feeling made Qi Xiaoyu very uncomfortable and averse.

However, if she couldn't get a clear answer to this question, it would keep Qi Xiaoyu awake at night.

"I told you, I am your fiancé." Chu Mo grinned at Qi Xiaoyu.

"Please behave yourself and stop this nonsense." The light in Qi Xiaoyu's eyes cooled as she stared at Chu Mo: "Otherwise, I'd rather fight you here and never enter the Phantom Spirit Realm again!"

"No, wait…" Chu Mo immediately panicked, thinking to himself that it had taken him so much effort to find her, how could he let her slip away from under his nose? He wouldn't even consider it!

"Back then, you created a separate body that entered the Mortal Realm to find someone, right?" Chu Mo stared at Qi Xiaoyu as he asked.

"How do you know that?" Qi Xiaoyu stared coldly at Chu Mo. Indeed, that seperate body had gone into the Mortal Realm to find the one prophesied, but what exactly had happened, she had no idea!

But one thing was certain, even if the separate body's memory was sealed, it would never accept anyone from a race other than the Elf Clan!

Qi Xiaoyu could guarantee this!

Therefore, Qi Xiaoyu didn't believe what Chu Mo said about being her fiancé.

The reason why the seperate body's memory was sealed was due to the powerful psychic force of the Elf Clan. Without sealing their divine sense, not only would they be unable to pass through the barrier between the Mortal Realm and the Spirit Realm, but that potent divine sense would also make it impossible for the separate body to function in the Mortal Realm.

It would collapse at the first chance it gets!

"Because I am the one you were looking for." Chu Mo looked at Qi Xiaoyu, smiling, but he was in pain inside.

It felt like facing a lover who had lost her memory, familiar yet strangers to each other, it was heartbreaking.

"I don't believe it!" Qi Xiaoyu stated indifferently, her eyes flashing with a cold light: "You must have learned about this through some means."

"Why are you so sure that's the case?" Chu Mo glanced at Qi Xiaoyu, somewhat helpless, somewhat heartbroken, and also somewhat at a loss.

The woman in front of him looked exactly like Qi Xiaoyu, but seemed to be one of a pair of identical twin sisters with completely different personalities.

"Because, Elf Clan women do not marry outside the clan!" Qi Xiaoyu stated coldly: "Yet you claim to be my fiancé; it's clearly a lie! How can you expect me to believe you?"

"Not allowed to marry outside? Then those creatures in the world with Elf blood... what's up with that?" Chu Mo asked.

In these days, his time spent in the communication area was not wasted.

"…" Qi Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, observing Chu Mo coldly, "Those…are ordinary elves, but I, am of the Imperial Clan!"

"Has the Imperial Clan never allowed marriages?" Chu Mo was persistent.

"No!" Qi Xiaoyu's eyes were frosty as if she were looking at a stranger when watching Chu Mo: "Never!"

Seeing such a familiar person looking at him with such unfamiliar eyes, Chu Mo's heart ached. Still, he smiled and said: "But your other self did not say so. She likes me, and I like her!"

"That was her!" Qi Xiaoyu looked at Chu Mo coldly: "It wasn't me!"
