Cultivation Simulator: Starting From The Empress' Palace-Chapter 196 - 195 Matchmaking Conference in Progress

The sword energy that seemed to pierce the heavens made the moonlight become extremely dim.

Guan Hai’s face changed dramatically. Without thinking, his Protective True Qi enveloped his body, and he formed a brown True Qi Armor to shield his body.

In an instant, the sword energy had already arrived.

The Protective True Qi shattered.

The True Qi Armor broke.

Then he saw a Black Sword piercing through his chest.

Blood gushed forth like a flood.

With a loud "bang," Guan Hai’s body fell directly from the air, hitting the ground hard.

"Who’s there?" The soldiers patrolling outside Luo Mansion heard the commotion and quickly surrounded the area.

"Sir."

The patrol captain was Xu Dabong. Seeing Chen Mo descending from the sky, he immediately responded respectfully.

Then he noticed the sir’s gaze looking at a figure lying on the ground in the distance.

"Who is it?" Xu Dabong’s face changed, and he quickly ordered his men to surround the figure.

Meanwhile, Xu Dabong stood in front of Chen Mo.

"He is an Innate Martial Artist," Chen Mo said.

Xu Dabong’s legs nearly gave out, almost kneeling before Chen Mo, but he remained standing in front of him.

Chen Mo bypassed Xu Dabong’s body and walked forward.

Guan Hai was crawling slowly on the ground.

He had smeared a long trail of blood across the ground.

The massive blood loss made him feel increasingly weak, his eyelids struggling to stay open.

Suddenly, a shadow stood before him, stretched long by the moonlight.

Guan Hai struggled to lift his head, wanting to see the face of the shadow, but he could only see as far as Chen Mo’s chest before he lost his strength.

The Black Sword, under Chen Mo’s control, flew around his body.

Chen Mo moved his hand, and with the surge of True Qi, turned Guan Hai’s body over.

At this moment, he finally saw Chen Mo’s face clearly, even though it was an upside-down face.

Then he saw Chen Mo step on him.

His Dantian had been destroyed.

Decades of arduous cultivation were ruined in an instant.

"Make sure he doesn’t die. Find out who sent him to kill me," Chen Mo said, turning to Liu Dan.

Liu Dan nodded.

Chen Mo said nothing more to Guan Hai and left.

However, after a few steps, as if remembering something, he turned back and said, "Also, make him tell you the Earth Escape Technique."

Liu Dan nodded, secretly alarmed: "Someone actually came to assassinate my lord..."

...

After entering Luo Mansion, Chen Mo gently caressed the blade of the Black Sword again.

He never expected this Black Sword to be so powerful, directly piercing Guan Hai’s defenses and penetrating his body.

Moreover, it also enhanced the Sword Qi.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t recognize the characters on the blade, nor had he managed to research anything about it in the past two days.

So he didn’t know what grade of Treasure it was.

But based on tonight’s performance, it was definitely an Earth Tier or above Treasure.

...

On the other side.

Nanyang City.

Outside Huangfu Hao’s tent, Personal Soldiers dragged away the corpses, cleaning up the bloodstains.

Inside the tent, Huangfu Hao held a note, his eyes fixed on the burning candle in front of him, murmuring, "There really is an assassin!"

As soon as he spoke, the note in his hand ignited spontaneously.

In just a second, it turned to ashes and scattered into the air.

Has the rebel’s revenge come?

...

"My lord... perhaps I should go call Miaozhen sister here," Luo Zhen pleaded to Chen Mo from the bed.

Chen Mo turned over and lay down beside her: "No need."

Luo Zhen leaned over, lying in Chen Mo’s arms, murmuring, "My lord, it’s all... my fault for being useless."

"How could that be?" Chen Mo stroked Luo Zhen’s hair, comforting her not to overthink.

But Luo Zhen, afraid of Chen Mo’s anger, continued, "My lord, perhaps you should take Miaozhen too. I’ve already talked to her."

Chen Mo was startled: "What did you tell her?"

"Just... to serve you together with me," Luo Zhen said, blushing a little.

Chen Mo’s body stiffened, and he couldn’t help saying, "Zhen’Er, who do you think I am?"

"It’s nothing to do with my lord; it’s my own idea. I’m useless, unable to serve my lord properly, so I asked Miaozhen to help me," Miaozhen quickly explained.

"I see..."

Chen Mo drew circles on Luo Zhen’s jade back with his fingers, then said, "You didn’t force her, did you? Forced love isn’t sweet."

"I assure my lord, absolutely not."

"That’s good."

"Then I’ll go call Miaozhen right away." Saying this, Luo Zhen was about to get out of bed to call someone.

Chen Mo pulled her back.

Luo Zhen looked at him, puzzled.

Chen Mo cleared his throat: "It’s very late. Let her rest."

"Then I’ll call her tomorrow," Luo Zhen continued.

Chen Mo was silent.

Luo Zhen then asked about the guest situation.

"Fool." Chen Mo flicked Luo Zhen on the forehead lightly and said, "What guest, he was an assassin trying to kill me."

"Ah..." Luo Zhen exclaimed, immediately concerned, "Are you all right, my lord?"

Chen Mo shook his head: "It was just a thief. I’ve destroyed his cultivation and sent someone to interrogate him overnight."

Luo Zhen breathed a sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, she thought about who might want to assassinate her lord.

...

A night passed.

Early the next morning.

Chen Mo summoned Fu Bi and asked him to quickly organize the matchmaking gathering.

He specifically instructed him not to force anyone.

After Fu Bi left, Chen Mo also spoke to Gao Zheng about the matchmaking, informing him and his brothers to be prepared.

This made Gao Zheng blush deeply.

He hadn’t blushed like this even when visiting a brothel.

Upon hearing about finding a wife for himself, he became incredibly nervous and hurriedly said, "My lord, I... I’d rather not. Let them handle it."

"Coward."

Chen Mo slapped the back of Gao Zheng’s head, saying, "You’re almost forty, right? Still single, are you planning to spend your life alone?"

Gao Zheng rubbed the back of his head, trembling as he said, "I... never thought about it."

"Then think about it, right now," Chen Mo glared at Gao Zheng, then said, "Tonight, even if no one else succeeds, you better succeed.

I’ll tell Fu Bi to pick a few good ones for you. But whether they’re good or not depends on you, remember, no forcing."

Chen Mo left, grumbling.

Leaving Gao Zheng standing there, face flushed.

A wife.

Who doesn’t want a wife?

Of course, Gao Zheng wanted one too.

His hesitation was not only due to embarrassment but also fear of being disliked by the other party.

After all, for his age, he was considered an old man.

People his age were even grandfathers.

His conditions were average too.

He didn’t own any property in Bianliang either.
