Chapter 333: Chapter 149: Mr. Chen, Master of Sound! Making You Soar! (6K)_3
At this point, he sneaked a glance at the Princely Heir and swallowed his remaining words.
He couldn’t afford to offend either side...
Chen Mo looked around and said, "It seems there are no seats available."
Yan Linghu hurriedly pulled out a chair, grinning sheepishly, "You can sit here."
Chen Mo sat down nonchalantly and pulled Yu’er into his embrace.
The burly Yan Linghu stood by, lowering his eyes, looking as docile as a lamb.
Everyone present was shrewd enough not to lack perception like the attendants. Even if some had never met Chen Mo before, upon hearing the name "Mr. Chen" and seeing Yan Linghu’s demeanor, they already had a clue.
The one surnamed Chen, and so arrogant—there’s only one in Tiandu City!
"So, it’s Chen Wukui. This should be our second meeting, right?"
Chu Heng’s lips curved into a warm smile, "At the Heavenly Element Martial Examination, I was fortunate to witness Chen Wukui’s elegance, truly captivating... Today, visiting the Cloudwater Hall for a small drink, it has troubled Miss Yu’er. Chen Wukui shouldn’t mind, right?"
Chen Mo looked at Yu’er’s blood-soaked hands, his eyes narrowing slightly, as he infused a trace of True Yuan, healing the wounds instantly.
"Of course, I don’t mind. Since His Highness enjoys music so much, why don’t I play a piece for His Highness?"
"Oh?"
Chu Heng raised an eyebrow, intrigued, "Mr. Chen is also proficient in music?"
"Wouldn’t say proficient, just know a little." Chen Mo smiled, "I like to study the path of music in my spare time, but my sound power is quite strong, not sure if His Highness can handle it."
Chu Heng laughed, "The music from women tends to be delicate and gentle, whereas men’s strength is greater, and the music leans toward being bold and majestic... After hearing too many melancholy tunes, changing the taste occasionally isn’t bad."
"Alright, then I’ll give it a try."
Chen Mo raised his hand, True Yuan surging from his body, pulling a guqin from afar into his hand.
This skill of manipulating objects from a distance caused everyone’s expressions to turn solemn.
They knew, through this small act, that Martial Artists differ from Daoists; the ability to control True Yuan from such a distance with precision is enough to demonstrate his extraordinary strength!
"My sound power is quite strong, please bear with it, Your Highness."
"Mr. Chen need not worry, feel free to exert your skills..."
Chu Heng had just spoken halfway when his pupils suddenly contracted to pinpoints.
As Chen Mo’s fingers plucked the strings from below, simultaneously, an immensely powerful Qi Force surged forth, vaguely accompanied by the sound of a dragon’s roar!
Roar!
The Gang Force, imbued with the power to devour stars, swept towards Chu Heng like a raging tide, engulfing him instantly!
Bang!
Caught off guard, he was directly blasted away, crashing hard against the wall!
It took a full three breaths before the overwhelming Qi Force dissipated!
Everyone’s heads were spinning from the roar, and as they regained their senses, they were all stunned by the scene before them.
The entire winehouse was in a shambles, as if a hurricane had swept through, tables and chairs overturned, broken planks scattered everywhere, shards of wine jars flying, wine flowing, the air filled with the strong aroma of wine and the musty scent of wood chips.
Chu Heng’s body was embedded in the wall, clothes tattered, hair disheveled, face cut by the Gang wind, wounds oozing fresh blood, looking utterly disheveled.
"Your, Your Highness?!"
Everyone’s expressions froze as if they had seen a ghost.
Once they snapped back to reality, they hurried over, scrambling to pull the Princely Heir down from the wall.
"Your Highness, are you alright?"
"Get away!"
Chu Heng shoved the crowd aside, his face ashen, his eyes glaring venomously at Chen Mo, "Chen Mo, how dare you lay a hand on me?!"
Chen Mo looked innocent, "I’m wronged, I never even touched His Highness... I said it earlier, my sound power is really strong, it’s His Highness who told me to go all out..."
"..."
Everyone’s corners of mouths twitched.
Even a blind person could see that Chen Mo did it on purpose!
To make a move on the Princely Heir just for an Oiran? Could it be he has gone mad?!
They knew Chen Mo was wild, but they didn’t expect him to be wild to this extent!
"Good, very good!"
Chu Heng gritted his teeth, voice filled with rage, "I will remember this, we’ll meet again!"
Saying that, he turned and left, flicking his sleeves!
Everyone dared not linger, they all followed and left behind him.
Only Yan Linghu was in a dilemma, unsure whether to stay or go.
"Mr. Chen, I..."
"Leave."
"Got it."
...
After leaving the winehouse, Chu Heng boarded the sedan in a fury, ignoring everyone behind him, and drove off.
The crowd turned to look at the Cloudwater Hall’s sign, their scalps tingling.
This place won’t dare to come again in the future...
If I accidentally provoke that lunatic, I wouldn’t even know how I died!
Inside the soft sedan, Chu Heng leaned on the chair, fingers rubbing his chin, without a trace of anger on his face, but rather a hint of playfulness.
"Fury for a beauty?"
"What an old-fashioned plot, but it really is a love-struck fool, and even more reckless than I imagined."
"Previously, I underestimated Yu’er’s importance in his eyes. Now it seems, there might even be a chance for her to marry into the Chen Mansion... very well, as long as there’s a weakness, it’s easy to manipulate."
Chu Heng’s lips curled into a cold smile.
Used properly, this dark pawn could definitely deliver a fatal blow to Chen Mo, even to the entire Chen Family!
Moreover, he wasn’t worried Yu’er would betray him, after all, the Xu Family’s lives were still in his hands!
"Chen Mo, you won’t have much longer to jump around..."
...
The Cloudwater Hall, inner room.
Chen Mo sat at the table, leisurely brewing tea.
Gu Manzhi’s face flushed, chest heaving, hands on her hips, she said:
"Yu’er is originally an Oiran, just playing some music and toasting drinks... if there were any danger, I would naturally step in, why are you so impulsive?"
"To actually lay hands on the Princely Heir in public, do you know what kind of adverse effect this will have?"
"Originally, Chu Heng was targeting you in secret, and yet you act so recklessly, now the facade is completely torn, and things will likely escalate even further..."
Yu’er stood aside with her head hung low, tears welling in her eyes, full of guilt.
She felt everything turning out like this was all her fault. If it wasn’t because of her, her master wouldn’t be so angry nor would he offend the Princely Heir...
Seeing Little Gu Saintess still chattering incessantly, Chen Mo reached out and pulled her into his embrace, directly sealing her cherry lips.
"Mm!"
Gu Manzhi bit him angrily.
But she didn’t hold on for long, her peach blossom eyes soon misted over, as if her whole body’s bones were pulled out, weakly leaning in Chen Mo’s embrace, her neck arched, letting him take as he pleased.
After a long while.
Chen Mo released her, smiling he said, "Can you listen to me now?"
Gu Manzhi took a breath, her face like a peach blossom, complaining, "Why are you always so impulsive? It’s so worrisome..."
"Just now, I only used thirty percent of my force, Chu Heng was in such disarray to deliberately show weakness, while at the same time emphasizing my overbearing arrogance."
"Knowing this, you still want to jump into the pit?"
"Because I truly am quite upset."
"..."
"Ever since the Zhou Family Case, I’ve already thoroughly offended Chu Heng, he schemed against me repeatedly, this score needs to be settled sooner or later."
Chen Mo, holding her slender waist, his eyes filled with murderous intent, coldly said, "I deliberately revealed a flaw to him, he’ll definitely try to use Yu’er against me, turning passivity into initiative when the time comes..."
He had long harbored the intent to kill Chu Heng, but the opponent was extremely cautious, never finding a suitable opportunity.
Since that’s the case, then the opportunity must be created!
With Yu’er as a double agent, as long as he utilizes the information gap well, the roles of hunter and prey will quietly reverse...
"By the way, do you remember that Zi Yan’er?" Chen Mo asked.
"Of course I remember." Gu Manzhi nodded, "But strangely, she hasn’t been seen for days, the maids at Liuyun Inn are almost going crazy looking for her, no one knows where she went..."
Chen Mo’s eyes flickered slightly.
It was indeed her!
Previously, he felt something was off about that woman, clearly she was deliberately approaching him, coupled with Yan Linghu’s inexplicable obsession with her, and his own repeatedly leaked whereabouts...
Obviously, Zi Yan’er was that foolish cat!
"I didn’t expect the Demon Clan to be hiding right under my nose, almost dragging Gu Manzhi and Yu’er in..."
Thinking of this, Chen Mo’s back felt a slight chill.
The foolish cat should be after the Dragon Qi in him, and this matter was far from over.
This had already surpassed the scope of the original plot, he didn’t know what that Demon Lord was scheming... but since the Empress was aware of this, arrangements were likely already made, so there was no need to worry too much.
While he was pondering, he suddenly felt a rush of warmth.
Looking down, only to see Yu’er at some point had crawled under the table, her big watery eyes blinking at him.
"Mmm mhm..."
"..."
Gu Manzhi glared at her, "Utterly shameless!"
At this moment, Chen Mo remembered something, and said, "Right, didn’t you say you’d give me a surprise? What exactly is it?"
Gu Manzhi’s eyes wandered, a hint of panic flashing across her face.
"Did I, did I say that? You must be mistaken..."
