Chapter 1605: Brother or Sister?
In the shadows of One Side City, countless people secretly furrowed their brows, puzzled and even a bit aggrieved: Who exactly had the audacity to act? Who dared to make a move on Young Master Feihong's territory with such reckless disregard? Could it be an outsider spy? Someone trying to deliberately provoke Young Master Feihong's wrath? To deepen his resentment toward the family? Yes, that must be it. No, this matter must be reported immediately. Young Master Feihong's temper is extremely unyielding, and if this continues, who knows what might happen if he truly gets pushed too far?
In the top floor of the tallest building, in a huge room, Chu Chu looked at Luo Feihong speechlessly.
Luo Feihong shrugged indifferently, spreading his hands: "Just as well to give them a taste of their own medicine."
"Alright, but right now, arrange a place for me, and you are not allowed to come," Chu Chu said.
"No way!" Luo Feihong looked at her with concern: "I'm not reassured!"
Chu Chu smiled: "Relax, I already know who he is now."
"Isn't it Chu Mo? By the way, how did he contact you?" Luo Feihong also felt a bit strange.
Chu Chu extended her delicate hand, pointing at her own heart.
Luo Feihong stared, somewhat dazed.
Chu Chu angrily said: "Hurry up and go arrange a place for me!"
"Oh, oh, alright, alright, I'm going right away!" Luo Feihong scurried off.
To an outsider witnessing this scene, it would surely be unbelievable. The proud Young Master Feihong, inherently full of defiance, treating all other genders indifferently... could he really have such a side?
So, all the aloofness, all the disregard, all the indifference... at the root of it all, it's merely due to not liking enough.
Luo Feihong acted quickly, directly arranging an especially hidden place for Chu Chu.
That place could be considered the entire One Side City... the safest place there is.
Located beneath the City Lord's Mansion, surrounded by more than thirty thousand layers of arrays, not even a Supreme's divine sense could fully decipher them in a short time. Moreover, if the arrays were attacked, an alarm would immediately go off.
"That place is very safe, and if he wants to harm you, he won't be able to escape!" Luo Feihong said, presenting it like a treasure.
"I warn you, don't meddle in this matter. He is my closest relative!" Chu Chu said seriously to Luo Feihong.
"My little brother-in-law, how could I harm him?" Luo Feihong promised, patting his chest.
"Who says he's definitely younger than me..." Chu Chu felt her face turn red, glaring fiercely at Luo Feihong.
Luo Feihong felt so elated he almost forgot his own surname, yet he didn't dare to push his luck. He knew this girl's skin was thin, and pressing too much could backfire.
So, he suppressed the joy in his heart, leading Chu Chu with a serious expression towards the City Lord's Mansion.
"How did you inform him?" Luo Feihong deliberately changed the subject, asking Chu Chu.
"Telepathy." Chu Chu's face was filled with a complex expression. From beginning to end, Chu Mo had only said six words to her. Yet she seemed to understand everything.
She even knew that Chu Mo's parents were her parents!
This was definitely a magical connection!
Previously, she hadn't believed in such things, and she didn't care much about the idea of having another self in a mirror universe. To her, every being in the world was unique!
How could there be another self?
But today's events somewhat shook her long-held beliefs.
They had clearly never met, and logically speaking, they had no relationship. But how could there be such a miraculous telepathy? Why did it feel so close and intimate? For two entirely independent beings in two large universes to have the same bloodline seemed purely fantastical!
But what was this then?
Upon cultivating to this level, Chu Chu knew that soul inheritance and imprinting were actually more enduring than bloodline. Because bloodlines could eventually break off, but the soul... would never die.
Even those cultivators who seemingly perished with their primordial spirit shattered might appear to vanish from the world. But actually, according to some top-tier conjectures, their true spirit still lingers. There is still a chance for reincarnation. However, after reincarnation, what they become is unknown. Moreover, after reincarnation, they certainly won't remember the myriad things from their past lives. In a way, they become an entirely new being.
The topic of reincarnation is too profound, and in the current age, few possess deep expertise in this area.
In fact, the person beside her was already considered one of the foremost researchers on reincarnation. And even then, just so.
Chu Mo, at this moment, felt extremely excited, the sensation was truly magical. Telepathy is more precise than divine sense, and also... safer!
When he received Chu Chu's response, the feeling of kinship instantly filled his entire soul. It was as if it had imprinted on his soul in an instant.
Chu Mo walked towards the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.
The City Lord's Mansion was also grand. But relative to the entire One Side City, it wasn't much.
Yet it was surrounded by countless arrays, making it difficult for outsiders to see inside.
Chu Mo descended from the sky, landing on the ground, and walked directly towards the gates of the City Lord's Mansion. There wasn't even a guard at the entrance, allowing Chu Mo to enter the mansion freely. Inside the City Lord's Mansion, at this moment, it was completely deserted!
This was the extent of Luo Feihong's influence!
He used the shortest time to clear out every breathing creature from the City Lord's Mansion. Now the City Lord's Mansion was an empty castle!
Even he himself didn't enter; after sending Chu Chu there, he left.
Because Chu Chu said he was not allowed to be here, if necessary, she would naturally contact him later.
It's not that she doesn't trust him; on the contrary, Luo Feihong was very clear that this meeting with Chu Mo was of great importance! If word got out, it would be a huge problem. Therefore, he had to return and personally take charge, gathering a large number of people to comb through the entire One Side City!
In the meantime, he would deal with those rats hiding in the shadows, making sure that they'd understand that their Uncle Feihong wasn't someone they could just bully around!
Luo Feihong had always been like this; no matter how unfavorable the situation was, he could find a way to turn it in his favor. This kind of maneuver, he was very familiar with, and not unfamiliar at all.
Being born into the super ancient clan of the Ancient Tunnel Clan, without these basic survival abilities, it would be impossible to live happily.
At this moment, Chu Chu was waiting at the underground entrance of the City Lord's Mansion. Her heart was filled with tension, a feeling she had rarely experienced before!
Thinking back to the time in the Luotian Immortal Domain, she once joked with her parents, saying what if one day she met people who looked exactly like her parents?
Her mother, Ji Qingyu, laughed and said, "Naturally you should call them dad and mom!"
Chu Chu laughed and said, "What if you're my mother, but he's not my dad?"
Chu Tianji almost smacked her right then, scolding her as a cheeky girl.
Indeed, it was something to joke about back then because the two universes were so far apart, and who could simply enter a place like the Tunnel? Even if there was another self in the world, the chances of meeting were probably extremely small, almost infinitely close to zero.
To be honest, Chu Chu did miss her parents a bit. She even thought about finding a way to send them a message: Never enter the Ancient Battleground!
Unfortunately, that was almost impossible!
However, it did offer her some consolation that her parents once said they only wished to be an immortal couple. Even if they reached the level of the ancestral realm, they'd never enter the Ancient Battleground. Such cultivators weren't uncommon.
Not everyone desires to move forward endlessly.
The Luotian Great Universe of Chu Mo also had some ancestral realm cultivators who refused to enter the Ancient Battleground.
Then, Chu Chu saw Chu Mo. At the first sight of Chu Mo, Chu Chu suddenly had the urge to cry.
So much alike!
If it weren't for the masculine aura and the slightly rugged look in his eyebrows, Chu Chu might have felt like she was looking in a mirror!
"Call me sister."
"Call me brother."
The two seemed to have a telepathic connection, both speaking the same line in unison at the first instant they met.
Then, they were both stunned. They looked at each other for a long time until Chu Chu opened her arms: "Let's hug."
Chu Mo also opened his arms. Then, they shared a gentle hug. This hug held no emotional significance, just an expression of sentiment.
They didn't know if such things happened in the past Tunnel encounters, but at least, they had never heard of it.
What kind of fate was required to meet like this today!
Chu Chu led Chu Mo directly into the arrays beneath the City Lord's Mansion. Then, following Luo Feihong's method, she activated all the arrays.
Over thirty thousand layers of arrays, all activated!
This place instantly turned into a completely closed-off world!
Chu Mo used his divine sense to probe, discovering that this array was incredibly terrifying, exerting an unimaginable pressure in an instant.
"Don't probe lightly, this is the safest place in this city. In the entire Tunnel, there might not be many places with even higher levels of safety…" Chu Chu said.
Chu Mo thought of Guo Chang's cave abode and thought to himself: there is!
"In terms of age, I'm definitely your sister!" Chu Chu was still obsessed with this matter. She felt it needed to be clarified. Because for over two hundred years, she had longed for a brother or sister, but unfortunately, she had always been alone.
Her cousin Chu Qing had a good relationship with her, but she wasn't a real sister, lacking that bond.
"You can't calculate it like that," Chu Mo said.
"Isn't Chu Qing your sister?" Chu Chu asked.
Chu Mo was slightly stunned and then nodded: "She's my cousin."
"She's my little sister!" Chu Chu said proudly.
Chu Mo couldn't help but twitch his mouth, looking at Chu Chu: "No, no, no. You can't calculate it like this. Your world, your parents haven't gone through any ordeals. It's very different from my world."
"Tell me more." Chu Chu already had the demeanor of a big sister, confident in her victory. Your sister is my little sister! If you're not my brother, what are you?
"My mother was in her twenties when she had me," Chu Mo said calmly.
Chu Chu was instantly dumbfounded, staring blankly at Chu Mo: "You can calculate it like that?"
"Of course," Chu Mo said proudly.
