Chapter 245: Chapter 150: A Gentleman’s Word

Chu Qiuyu spoke of the matter, and Su Mo began with some curiosity.

Later, after numerous changes, he no longer planned to delve deeply.

Now hearing her mention it again, he could only smile:

“Heroine Chu need not take it to heart. Although I’m unaware of the incident between the Ziyang Sect and the Lengyue Palace, I suppose something has troubled Heroine Chu.”

“Ah…”

Chu Qiuyu had an odd expression: “If I were to remain silent on this matter, it would be like a bone stuck in my throat. Su, the Chief of the Escort, you’re not an outsider, so it wouldn’t be a disgrace to share it…

In truth, this matter relates to two seniors from our respective sects.”

“Oh?”

At this, Su Mo grew curious and glanced at Yang Xiaoyun, then back at Chu Qiuyu:

“I am all ears.”

His words were said to such an extent, how could Su Mo cover Chu Qiuyu’s mouth to stop her from talking?

“This matter… Ah…”

Chu Qiuyu couldn’t help but have a troubled smile: “Our Lengyue Palace and the Ziyang Sect have always had an odd relationship. Both sects have been neighbors, with Tonglu Mountain as the boundary. Since the founding of our two sects, there have been times of alliance and times of enmity. No great hatreds have formed, nor have there been strong alliances, yet the entanglement remains deep, making it difficult to define.

This event, however, traces back to twenty years ago.

Back then, my Lengyue Palace had a predecessor of outstanding talent and beauty…

As cold as frost, her sword was like a star’s core; truly a majestic sight.

I’ve always believed she was Lengyue Palace’s first genius in a hundred years.

Even Junior Sister Wei, with her rising fame in recent years, would likely find it hard to match her.”

Pausing momentarily in her tale, she continued:

“Back then, the Demon Sect’s masters wreaked havoc in Dongcheng.

Among them, the Youquan Sect, Eternal Night Valley, and Jile Heavenly Palace were the most notorious, leading many from demon cults to converge on several fronts, advancing westward towards Tianqu City!

The three Demon Sects were cruel; the Youquan Sect randomly captured civilians to create Blood Slaves, conjuring Blood Ponds that turned the land red for miles, with screams filling the sky.

The Eternal Night Valley, its shadows were invisible, employing a gruesome ’human skin’ trick, peeling off skin to make clothing, leaving an unknown number of skinless corpses in their wake.

And as for the Jile Heavenly Palace… it’s more complicated than words can express.

Back then, the Righteous Path sects formed an alliance, led by Lengyue Palace, Ziyang Sect, Tianxin Sect, Zhenwu Hall, Xiaoyao Pavilion, Yuan Shan Sword Sect, and Jingchan Temple. They led their disciples to meet the Three Great Demon Sects in battle at Tianqu City.

It was a time of indescribable chaos.

And it was then that Demon Sect masters secretly infiltrated among the Dongcheng Sects, waiting for opportunities to plot and commit atrocities.

The Seven Sects Masters were too preoccupied to intervene, leaving only their disciples to take action. The aforementioned senior of my Lengyue Palace was among them…”

As Chu Qiuyu’s story unfolded, Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun came to realize that the Seven Great Sects had once fought against these Three Great Demon Sects.

Su Mo, who had previously known too little about Dongcheng, now gleaned some insights from her words.

“The senior’s trip was long; chaos had spread throughout Dongcheng, it took several months before she finally returned to Tianqu City.

But when the senior came back, everyone discovered that she had changed.

Originally as cold as frost, she returned with occasional secret smiles and hidden joy.

At that time, some fellow disciples thought that she must have met a man along the way…”

At this point, Chu Qiuyu smiled at Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun: “Although our Lengyue Palace is composed entirely of women, we do not prohibit marriage.

If there is indeed mutual love, it’s natural for them to become a wedded couple.

So, no one minded her behavior at that time; they simply teased her.

Later, a handsome young man from the Ziyang Sect came to visit that senior.

Under everyone’s watch, the senior went to meet him with a beaming smile.

Instantly there were whispers everywhere, and everyone assumed they were an immortal couple.

Unexpectedly, the meeting ended on a sour note…

And since then, the matter has been the subject of much speculation, with many guessing what exactly happened between them, yet no one could find an answer.

Even the Palace Master inquired personally, but the senior always remained silent.

With her stubborn and strong-willed nature, no one dared to inquire further.

But since that time, her combat style became increasingly ruthless.

Years passed with a stalemate between the Righteous and Demon paths in Tianqu City.

However, since the Youquan Sect gradually toned down their aggression and the Night Lord suffered a grievous injury after a clash with the Seven Sects Masters, the only remaining force was the Jile Heavenly Palace.

Of course, they did not dare to act recklessly, and so the turmoil in Tianqu City gradually subsided, leading to the situation as it is now.

The former elite disciples now naturally hold different statuses.

The once-rampant rumors, no one dares to broach them anymore.

The only constant, neither her nor that senior from Ziyang Sect, have remained unwed after nearly two decades.

Through the years, few Ziyang Sect disciples were active, making it hard to glean the details of their internal affairs.

So, no one expected that, six months ago, that senior from Ziyang Sect suddenly appeared to pay a visit.

He actually came to formally propose marriage!”
