The capital of the Dragon Kingdom at this time.
The high-ranking officials sat solemnly inside the central government compound, creating a somber and dignified atmosphere.
Zhou Shouzhen warned with a stern expression:
"Chu Mo has already accepted Miyamoto Kiyokawa's challenge, and that cannot be changed. What we need to do is to ensure his safety at all costs."
"Western countries are now extremely wary of our growing strength, and Chu Mo is a key figure in this, a fact they are well aware of."
"Therefore, they will never let go of this good opportunity to kidnap Chu Mo and seize the Kunlun Immortal Wine recipe in this duel."
"We even need to prevent them from resorting to desperate measures and taking the opportunity to eliminate Chu Mo."
At this point, the old man looked at the crowd below the stage and solemnly instructed:
"The Dragon Soul Guard and the Demon Extermination Pavilion will send all Foundation Establishment cultivators who are not on missions to Japan to ensure that nothing goes wrong."
"yes!"
At this moment, Mu Yan, who was sitting next to Old Zhou, also hurriedly chimed in:
"Old Wang and Old Chen can look after the library at the research institute. The four of us will go together."
"Old Mu, why is it that only Old Wang and I are left to watch the house while you guys go out and have fun?"
An elderly man with a slightly overweight build immediately became unhappy.
“That’s right, I think Old Mu is fine on his own at home. The rest of us can keep an eye on Chu, and that will be perfectly safe.” Another white-haired old man also protested.
In the end, it was Zhou Shouzhen, looking helpless, who stepped in and managed to persuade the two to stop.
...
December 22, winter solstice.
The temperature in Kyoto had already dropped to zero degrees Celsius.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the Bai family was solemn, with all the important members of the family sitting upright in a meeting.
Old Master Bai, seated at the head of the table, pointed at Mr. and Mrs. Shu Junhe below the stage and angrily reprimanded them:
"That Miyamoto Kiyokawa is the number one expert in Japan who has cultivated for three hundred years. Although Xiao Mo is skilled, how could he possibly be his match?"
"I told you to persuade him to cancel the competition, but what did you do? You can't even handle such a small matter. Have you thought about the consequences?"
"Xiao Mo killed the opponent's disciple; if he loses, he will die instantly!"
"Dad, it's not that we don't want to persuade him, it's just that we really can't. Even Xiaoya has spoken up, but that kid just won't listen to her."
Shu Junhe looked helpless, his eyes filled with endless worry and annoyance.
Although he was very dissatisfied with Chu's philandering, he still did not want to see anything happen to him.
Bai Wanrou was equally worried. She was genuinely very satisfied with this future son-in-law... even though he was a bit of a womanizer.
As for Shu Xiaoya, she was already flustered and anxious. Upon hearing her grandfather's words, her beautiful eyes immediately filled with tears, turning red and on the verge of sobbing.
He could no longer sit still, and suddenly stood up, his face resolute as he said:
"I must go to Japan immediately to stop him; I can't let him do such a foolish thing."
Shu Junhe hurriedly stopped him:
"Foolish! If you could persuade them over the phone, why would you need to come all the way here?"
"That kid is clearly determined. Don't you know his temper? How could he possibly change?"
Old Master Bai couldn't help but look up at the sky and sigh, shaking his head helplessly:
"Xiaoya... listen to your dad, it won't make a difference if you go."
"Besides, the situation is complicated now. If an ordinary girl like you goes to that kind of occasion, it will only distract him."
"Don't worry too much. Given how much the Dragon Kingdom government values him, they will definitely not sit idly by. They may have already sent experts to help. Let's just wait and see how it goes."
"I...I just want to be by his side, even if it's just watching from afar."
Shu Xiaoya was clearly still unwilling to give up, but the others firmly disagreed with her idea.
Left with no other choice, she stopped talking, but she had already made up her mind.
"Grandpa, Dad, Mom, I'm a little tired. I'm going to rest for a while."
Seeing the girl's red and swollen eyes, everyone sighed helplessly and nodded in agreement.
Not long after.
A nervous Shu Xiaoya appeared at Kyoto International Airport, followed by a burly elderly foreign man carrying her suitcase.
It was Long Wu, a high-ranking paladin, whom Chu Mo had sent to protect her.
Only after she boarded the plane did she pat her ample chest and let out a sigh of relief.
"Fifth Uncle, is it confirmed that Chu Mo will not fight that person for four days?"
"Yes, miss, I've found out all of this very clearly, there's no way I'm wrong."
Long Wu replied respectfully.
"That's good!"
Shu Xiaoya sighed softly and fell into a daze again.
Just then, she suddenly heard a surprised voice from beside her.
"My God, Long Wu, what a coincidence! Weren't you supposed to be on a mission? What are you doing here?"
She looked up and saw a blond, blue-eyed foreign old man respectfully following behind a stunningly beautiful woman.
The girl was about twenty-two or twenty-three years old, tall and voluptuous, with beautiful features.
Her charming and elegant temperament gives her a unique and alluring appeal.
Although Shu Xiaoya herself is an absolute beauty, it must be admitted that this girl is truly very beautiful.
The key is her alluring charm; even as a girl, she can't help but want to take a second look.
Upon noticing that the other person was also looking at him, he immediately nodded kindly and smiled sweetly at her:
"Hello, you are so beautiful!"
"No, you are truly beautiful. I have never seen a more beautiful girl than you. You are simply a fairy descended from heaven!"
Liu Ruyan couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of her heart.
The girl across from her had such stunning beauty that she had never seen anything like it in her life; she was many times more beautiful than any of the most popular actresses.
Even though she was a girl, she was still a pleasure to watch.
The key was that the other person's personality made her feel very comfortable, and she felt a strange sense of affinity with him.
