Shu Xiaoya, in a good mood, did not notice her parents' unusual behavior.
They chatted away the whole way, talking about what had happened recently.
After she paused for a moment, Chu Mo smiled and asked:
"How's your cultivation going lately?"
The girl was stunned when she heard him say that, then blinked at him frantically, looking anxious and confused.
Chu Mo couldn't help but laugh at her, and quickly clarified:
"It's okay. I just told you not to tell outsiders, not that you can't tell your family."
The couple, Shu Junhe and his wife, sitting in the back row, were immediately bewildered by their conversation.
Shu Junhe pretended to be nonchalant, but his ears perked up.
Unable to contain her curiosity any longer, Bai Wanrou asked with a look of eager curiosity:
"Xiaoya, what are you talking about cultivation?"
Having received Chu Mo's approval, Shu Xiaoya immediately became smug and told her parents about her cultivation with Chu Mo.
The couple was dumbfounded. Cultivating immortality? Are you sure this isn't a dream from last night that you're still dreaming about?
Shu Junhe, forgetting his anger, immediately reprimanded him with a cold face:
"You must never join any illegal organizations. There are no cultivators in this world!"
"Flying through the sky and escaping into the earth, manipulating the five elements—do you think this is a mythological story?"
"Dad, Mom, what I'm telling you is true. Chu Mo really is a cultivator."
Bai Wanrou also hurriedly tried to persuade them, "Xiaoya, Xiaomo, the elderly in the countryside don't believe in these things anymore, how come you still believe in them?"
"It's the 21st century, we should believe in science. I would even believe you if you said there are aliens, but the so-called immortal cultivators are just a fabrication of the ancients."
Shu Junhe snorted coldly, his tone already tinged with anger, and said with displeasure:
"I always thought you, Chu Mo, were a steady person, but you've really disappointed me now."
Chu Mo naturally understood his veiled criticism and implied meaning.
I'm afraid that he and his wife already know about my affair with Ruyan.
I couldn't help but smile bitterly to myself, but I had nothing to say. Who told me to be such a jerk first?
Why did Lao Shu's address change from Xiao Chu and Xiao Mo back to Chu Mo?
This is about drawing a clear line!
This doting father is probably ready to eat his own heart right now.
Just as Chu Mo was about to explain.
Shu Junhe, however, seemed to have opened the floodgates of criticism, and continued to sneer:
"Young people, you must never have unrealistic ideas, and you must never be indecisive..."
Chu Mo didn't explain further, gripping the steering wheel with one hand and extending the other.
Then a fireball the size of a fist appeared out of thin air in his palm, burning fiercely and crackling.
A few seconds later, the fireball disappeared, and a silver-purple arc of electricity reappeared at his fingertips.
Shu Junhe, who had just gathered his emotions and was about to deliver a two-thousand-word condemnation, suddenly stopped, dumbfounded.
Bai Wanrou was equally shocked, her mouth slightly open and her eyes wide open like lanterns.
"This, how is this possible? Xiao Mo, are you doing magic?"
She couldn't believe it, so she quickly shifted her body and grabbed Chu Mo's hand to examine it carefully.
"Mom, I'm telling you the truth, but you still don't believe me. Chu Mo really is a cultivator."
"I'm cultivating with him now, haven't you noticed that I've become a little different?"
Shu Xiaoya glared at her parents with a mix of pride and helplessness, and hurriedly offered an explanation.
"Hmph, what do you mean you've become a little different? You've been a completely different person since you started dating."
"I used to video chat with my mom every two or three days, but now she doesn't contact us even once a week."
Upon hearing her daughter's words, Bai Wanrou couldn't help but complain resentfully.
He then released Chu Mo's hand, because he couldn't find anything amiss.
This immediately made Shu Xiaoya's pretty face blush.
Since starting her relationship, she has devoted most of her free time to Chu Mo, and her contact with her family has indeed decreased significantly.
Although that's what she said, she already believed it to some extent.
That move was so bizarre; it couldn't possibly be an effect created by magic.
The couple looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock and confusion.
Could he really be a cultivator?
"Hmph, a cultivator? So what if he's a cultivator? He can't stop me from..."
Shu Junhe had only spoken halfway when his wife glared at him fiercely, and he ultimately swallowed his words.
Chu Mo could only pretend not to hear Lao Shu's resentment, and then, with a forced smile, he whispered to Bai Wanrou:
"Auntie, if you master this technique, you can not only maintain your youthful appearance for a long time, but also live for hundreds of years."
"If we take it a step further, living for a thousand years and flying through the air wouldn't be a problem."
Seeing that his words were becoming increasingly outrageous, Shu Junhe couldn't help but sneer and retort:
"Still able to maintain an ageless appearance, fly through the air, and live for hundreds or even thousands of years? You've become obsessed with fantasy novels, haven't you?"
"Do they really think we're as gullible as Xiaoya? That's...that's utter nonsense!"
Shu Junhe became increasingly angry as he spoke.
Ever since the old man told him about Chu Mo having a girlfriend.
The more he admired Chu Mo before, the angrier and more furious he became now.
I just couldn't stand the sight of it.
He had such a well-behaved, innocent, and beautiful daughter, yet he was still not satisfied?
Do you want to follow the example of ancient landlords and have three wives and four concubines?
This is absolutely outrageous!
If it weren't for the old man's repeated admonitions that he should discuss things in Kyoto before revealing his true intentions, he would have been in trouble.
If it weren't for the fact that he always felt admiration and gratitude towards Chu Mo,
