Seeing the beautiful young girl running towards them, the Jiang family members couldn't help but look surprised.

Ji Chengdao and the others had been chatting with the Jiang family and therefore hadn't heard Ji Xiaoxian's words.

Seeing her rush forward without permission, he roared angrily, his face contorted with rage:

"Ji Xiaoxian, stop right there! How dare you barge into our distinguished guests like this?"

They couldn't help but be furious. The Ji family was an ancient noble family, how could they allow their descendants to behave so outrageously in front of their distinguished guests?

The elders were having a conversation, and not only the third and fourth generation descendants, but even the second generation direct descendants dared not come up to disturb them.

Didn't you see even the patriarch's own grandson obediently staying at the very back?

An illegitimate daughter, if not for her extraordinary talent, would not even be qualified to appear in such a setting.

But that's all.

In aristocratic families, talent is important, but status and bloodline are equally important.

Only those who possess both qualities are considered qualified heirs in the eyes of prominent families.

Ji Xiaoxian's status as an illegitimate daughter destined her to be, at best, a protector of her family for the rest of her life.

Unless she can one day truly grow to a high enough level, she will be able to offset the negative impact of being an illegitimate child.

Of course, if one can ultimately become an immortal, that's a completely different matter.

But how easy is that?

Reprimanded by the family head, Ji Xiaoxian snapped out of her agitation and stood helplessly a few meters in front of Chu Mo.

Her eyes were filled with joy and surprise as she looked at him, but she didn't dare to shout anymore.

She simply stood there quietly, her small lips pursed, her beautiful eyes reddening as she looked at him.

Jiang Youwei couldn't help but look at the girl with a gossipy expression, then at her junior brother, and asked curiously with a smile:

"Junior brother, who is this girl? Could she be one of your many wives? She's quite pretty."

Chu Mo was immediately speechless, and as he walked towards Ji Xiaoxian, he explained helplessly:

"This is a friend I met in the Southern Region. We only met once, so please don't spread rumors."

Upon hearing their conversation, a blush instantly spread across Ji Xiaoxian's flustered face.

Then, after giving Jiang Youwei a few more glances with amazement, he explained earnestly:

"This... senior, back when Grandpa Fei and I were in danger on the ancient battlefield in the Southern Region, we were saved thanks to Brother Chu."

"I had wanted to find him for a long time, but unfortunately my cultivation level was not high enough and my family did not allow me to go out. I never thought I would be able to meet him here today."

After speaking, she hurriedly bowed to Chu Mo and thanked him repeatedly.

Chu Mo extended his hand in a gesture of support and smiled:

"I told you before, it was just something I did on the spur of the moment, you don't need to worry about it."

"I never expected that you would be a member of the Ji family of Zhongzhou. What a coincidence."

Upon hearing the word "fate," Ji Xiaoxian's eyes lit up, and she was overjoyed, nodding her head happily.

"Yes, I also feel a strong connection with Brother Chu. I wonder why Brother Chu has come to Zhongzhou? Is there something important on your mind?"

"There is something I need to take care of."

Chu Mo smiled and nodded, but did not specify what he wanted to do.

Ji Chengdao, who was originally about to reprimand Ji Xiaoxian, swallowed his words when he saw that she was actually familiar with Chu Mo.

Then he looked at Chu Mo with surprise in his eyes, a thoughtful expression on his face.

Hearing Jiang Youwei refer to him as her junior brother, they were already extremely curious.

They thought the other party was a prodigy disciple secretly taken in by one of the patriarchs of the Jiang family.

But unexpectedly...

He's from the Southern Region? And he even knows Ji Xiaoxian?

Having this relationship is actually quite good!

As for Ji Pengfei and the other young geniuses, they were all extremely shocked.

They thought that Ji Xiaoxian would definitely be reprimanded by the family head and other elders this time.

But to everyone's surprise, the other party knew an important figure from the Jiang family.

Although they were young, they were very perceptive. All of the Jiang family's high-ranking members showed Chu Mo an extraordinary level of respect.

Why would several senior and accomplished individuals show such an expression to a young man?

This is simply unbelievable!

This person is not simple! That was their first reaction.

Moreover, it is quite clear that the other party and the Jiang family are not in a subordinate relationship.

Otherwise, no matter how extraordinary his talent, it would be impossible for a group of senior experts to show him such an expression.

Polite and respectful!

Even someone as gifted as Jiang Youwei wouldn't allow them to do this, would they?

If they can see this, how could those old foxes in the Ji family not see it?

However, since the occasion was inappropriate and it wasn't convenient for them to ask, they pretended not to know.

After chatting with Ji Xiaoxian for a few moments, Chu Mo turned to look at Ji Chengdao and smiled:

"Master Ji, Miss Ji and I are old acquaintances. It is truly fate that we could meet again in a foreign land."

"How about she shows us around the Ji family estate?"

Ji Chengdao laughed heartily, his face beaming with joy:

"Haha, Young Master Chu, you're too kind. As long as you don't mind our rudeness, it's perfectly fine."

"Besides, the Ji family hasn't even thanked you yet for saving Xiaoxian's life, Young Master Chu. So please don't hesitate to ask me for help in the future."

"You're too kind, Patriarch Ji. It was just a small favor, nothing to mention."

Chu Mo smiled calmly, not taking the other party's polite words to heart.

Just listen to these kinds of things; anyone who takes them seriously is a fool.

Judging from the words that young man shouted at Ji Xiaoxian earlier, it's clear that this girl's position in the Ji family is probably a bit awkward.

During a casual chat.

The group arrived at the Ji family's reception hall. After exchanging pleasantries and enjoying tea, the conversation finally turned to today's main topic.

The two families are united by marriage!

"Miss Jiang Youwei, do you have any thoughts about finding a Daoist partner? All the fine men of my Ji family are available for you to choose from!"

As soon as Ji Chengdao spoke, all the members of the Jiang family exchanged subtle glances, and some even felt a surge of anger.

Jiang Youwei is a remarkable person!

His talent and appearance are unparalleled in the entire Kunlun Realm, making him the pillar of the Jiang family for the next ten thousand years.

In all the world, which man is worthy to be her Daoist partner?

The Ji family has certainly played their cards well!

They actually want to marry their precious son into the Ji family?

However, the two families are currently allies and originally planned to form a marriage alliance, but the Jiang family is marrying a woman from the Ji family.

Although the Ji family's female prodigy is no match for Jiang Youwei, it wouldn't be right to bluntly reject her, would it?

In an instant.

Even Jiang Jiren fell silent, secretly pondering how best to put it.

But Jiang Youwei didn't care about any of that and directly and domineeringly refused:

"No man from your Ji family has ever moved my heart. If anyone mentions him again, I'll beat them up!"

Chu Mo couldn't help but admire her; his senior sister was indeed decisive and domineering in her speech!

It's just a bit too direct.

As expected, the faces of all the higher-ups in the Ji family turned ugly upon hearing this.

Ji Chengdao, who made the suggestion, couldn't help but feel a slight anger rising within him.
