Chapter 1600: Without That Stone
Chu Mo looked up at Gu Bingbing and slightly frowned: "What do you mean?"
Gu Bingbing sighed gently and said, "Luoluo told me that Chuchu has been getting close to a direct descendant of the Luo family recently."
"Hmm?" Chu Mo looked at Gu Bingbing and somewhat understood her meaning. Speaking of which, Chu Mo felt somewhat complex towards Chuchu. The parents he acknowledged were, of course, Ji Qingyu and Chu Tianji from his own world.
However, it's clear that Ji Qingyu and Chu Tianji from another Luotian Immortal Domain are also his parents, although explaining this is very complicated, even to the point where he can't explain it. Therefore, the children born to his parents, whether sisters or brothers, are undoubtedly his relatives.
Perhaps, between relatives in this mirror universe, it's hard to say how things are in terms of blood, but in terms of the soul, there must be a connection!
Otherwise, how could it be possible to sense each other at a certain level?
Since they are relatives, Chu Mo has no reason not to care. If she can truly find a good place, it would be a good thing. However, Chu Mo decided to meet Chuchu first. He wasn't worried about anything ominous happening when they meet, because they are ultimately not the same person, and they don't even share the same gender.
"Luoluo said that she doesn't really understand their relationship either; she only knows that the Edict of the Investiture of the Gods is in the hands of that direct descendant of the Luo family. She also asked me why I was inquiring about this person, which I casually made up a reason to brush off. However, she did mention Zi Dao and Ouyang Fei." Gu Bingbing sighed lightly: "These young heirs of the ancient clans aren't fools. She knows I have an Edict of the Investiture of the Gods; she might have heard about two people missing on my list too. But she has a good relationship with me, and I'm confident she won't betray me."
Chu Mo nodded. In this tunnel, he doesn't particularly have any enemies. If there are any, besides Spiritual Master Lingtong hiding in the dark, it might just be the Ancient God Family where Gu Bingbing is from. However, as long as the friendship with Gu Bingbing is maintained, Gu Bingbing should not be detrimental to him.
Even for cultivators, any action should be weighed for gains and losses. No one is willing to do things where the losses outweigh the gains.
"She probably could also think of the matter of the six Great Saints, but she hasn't mentioned a word." Gu Bingbing sighed, "Actually, Luoluo is a good girl; it's a pity... her fate isn't great. If there's a chance, I'd like to help her out."
"Why?" Chu Mo looked strangely at Gu Bingbing.
Gu Bingbing said, "Luoluo has a kind of illness that can't be cured. This illness doesn't kill people, but..." At this point, her face turned slightly red, feeling unable to continue.
Chu Mo did not continue to ask, because this might have already involved a girl's privacy, so he also found it inappropriate to inquire further.
Gu Bingbing glanced at Chu Mo and changed the topic: "In that case, sir really should take a trip to the Luoshui Family; if nothing else, Chuchu should be met once. And the six Great Saints... if there's a chance, they should be met too. Otherwise, it'd really be a commotion if they accidentally run into each other in the future."
Chu Mo nodded and then said, "In that case, I think we should first give our six Great Saints a heads-up."
Gu Bingbing thought for a moment and finally nodded in agreement: "Alright, it should be clarified. Besides..." Gu Bingbing looked at Chu Mo and softly said, "Sir saved my life three times, and I think between us, we can now be considered friends. We could trust each other, right?"
Chu Mo looked at Gu Bingbing: "Miss Gu..."
"If you don't mind, just call me Bing'er." Gu Bingbing smiled slightly: "My good friends all call me this."
"I'll still call you Bingbing." Chu Mo smiled bitterly in his heart, thinking, all her friends call her that? Impossible... Bing'er, this kind of address, surely only someone closest would call.
To be honest, although Gu Bingbing hasn't shown any affection toward him, Chu Mo is somewhat afraid. He doesn't claim to understand girls well, but he does understand one thing at least: when a girl truly, completely trusts you, the distance to that step isn't far at all.
"As you wish." Gu Bingbing chuckled, then asked, "We can fully trust each other, right?"
Chu Mo nodded: "I think so."
"That's good. I have a question I've been wanting to ask, but thought it would be abrupt. However, now I think... it should be alright." Gu Bingbing spoke very slowly and carefully as she looked at Chu Mo: "Sir, do you truly have the ability to shatter divine status?"
Chu Mo smiled: "What do you think?"
"I think... you do." Gu Bingbing finished speaking and carefully watched Chu Mo.
In her heart, she already had an eighty to ninety percent guess, though she couldn't completely confirm it. That's only because Chu Mo hadn't admitted it. She was a bit afraid that Chu Mo might deny it, because if he did, it meant he didn't completely trust her.
She hoped Chu Mo could fully trust her, because she already completely trusted Chu Mo. Three times he helped her, with two life-saving graces. If she still couldn't fully trust Chu Mo, it would imply that she had significant personal issues.
But trust is mutual; she didn't want only her to fully trust Chu Mo while Chu Mo did not.
Chu Mo nodded and said, "If you say I do, then I do."
"Wow!" Gu Bingbing exclaimed excitedly, fortunately, this room was soundproofed by arrays, or else people outside might misunderstand. Her little face was filled with excitement, happily looking at Chu Mo: "The first person of ten thousand ages! At least, you're the first in this ancient history of the tunnel!"
"..." Chu Mo looked at Gu Bingbing speechlessly and then smiled bitterly: "And then?"
"Then? What then?" Gu Bingbing looked at Chu Mo: "There isn't any more; I was just curious."
"..." Well, a girl's mind is truly hard to fathom.
Gu Bingbing looked at Chu Mo seriously and quickly said, "Brother Chu, don't worry, I, Gu Bingbing, swear to heaven, I will never reveal any of the secrets about you, if I do, may my soul never find peace!"
Chu Mo looked at Gu Bingbing, amused and exasperated, "Is it necessary to swear such a vicious oath?"
Mr. Chu became Brother Chu; Chu Mo felt that he really couldn't stay here any longer, at least, he couldn't be alone with Gu Bingbing. This girl's thoughts have become a bit dangerous now.
"I'm going to talk to the six Great Saints," Chu Mo said, then made a hasty retreat.
Inside the room, Gu Bingbing covered her face with her hand, then said bashfully, "Oh my, what did I just do? Did he already notice my thoughts? What should I do? He's definitely laughing at me in his heart!"
No matter how tough Gu Bingbing was at her core, and no matter how strong her personality was, she ultimately was a girl. Facing Chu Mo, who had helped her three times and saved her life twice, how could she not have any feelings?
How could she not have any fondness at all?
So, when facing Chu Mo, she could pour out her heart at any time, with no reservations. But she was also afraid, afraid that her thoughts would be seen through. So she was somewhat indecisive.
After Chu Mo left Gu Bingbing's place, he went directly to where the monkey and the six Great Saints were staying. He called all seven of them together, then directly activated the room's array seal.
The monkey looked at Chu Mo and laughed, "What's so secretive? Are you going to help us cut the god status?"
The other six were also laughing at Chu Mo, teasing him casually.
"Are you and Miss Gu getting close?" Great Saint Kun Fish grinned.
"I heard you've been especially close with Miss Gu recently, I knew that girl fell for you," Great Saint Bull Demon said with a knowing face.
"You've already got two wives, don't be too fickle!" Great Saint Roc winked.
"The more wives the better, anyway, he can handle it," Great Saint Sea Dragon said.
"Dragon nature is inherently lascivious..." Great Saint Cat sighed on the side.
"Uh-huh, I was just about to say that," Fox Heaven Great Saint said.
The brothers were used to joking around and hadn't even waited for Chu Mo to speak before they'd teased him enough.
Chu Mo looked at them with a half-smile, not saying a word, letting them ramble on.
Finally, the monkey couldn't stand it, coughed, and said, "You came to us, you must have something important, so let's hear it."
At this point, the six Great Saints shut their mouths and pretended to look seriously at Chu Mo.
Chu Mo looked at the monkey and said, "You saw Zi Dao and Ouyang Fei, right?"
The monkey was slightly taken aback, then nodded, "But they're not Zi Dao and Ouyang Fei. I've seen those two kids before, especially Zi Dao, isn't he your little brother? And that Ouyang Fei, wasn't she with Zhong Sheng?"
The six Great Saints' expressions became somewhat serious at this moment because they vaguely felt something was wrong.
Chu Mo glanced at the monkey, "I didn't expect you to pay attention to such little things."
The monkey laughed heartily, "Of course, who am I... cough cough, are you teasing me?"
Chu Mo shook his head with a smile, "No jokes, seriously, the Zi Dao and Ouyang Fei you saw are exactly those from the mirror universe. Along with them, passing through the tunnel, are also... six Great Saints, oh no, I should say, six ancestral realm... you guys!"
As Chu Mo spoke, he looked seriously at the six Great Saints.
The six Great Saints were stunned. They had long known about this statement, but the problem was, they had never really thought there might be another version of themselves in this world.
The monkey looked at Chu Mo, scratching his head, anxious, "What about me? What about me? Where's the other me?"
Chu Mo looked at the monkey sympathetically, "I hear you popped out of a stone?"
The monkey blinked and gave Chu Mo a toothy grin, "So what?"
Chu Mo glanced at the monkey, "In the other world, that stone doesn't exist."
