Chapter 214 - 215: Commander Hero
"Every week, I’ll let Warm Monarch come home to meet you. During that time, you can observe her changes, listen to her feelings, and if you’re not satisfied or think I have treated her unfairly, then," here, Chu You spread his hands out, "I am willing to let go."
At this, Chu You leaned forward, his voice soft, "In doing this, we are forever binding our fates together. I hold considerable influence in the Cultivation World and many people steadfastly follow me. If the Grand Marshal faces any difficulties, you need only hint at it, and we will take care of all the messy matters in your stead."
"To put it bluntly, even if you aspire to ascend the throne, we...could push you up there!"
"No, no, I have no such presumptuous thoughts. We shall not discuss such matters any further!" The Grand Marshal immediately waved his hands, a trace of shock in his eyes. Chu You’s words had genuinely scared him.
A subtle smile appeared on Chu You’s face. He remained utterly calm, knowing well that if any other player dared to utter such rebellious words, they would be blacklisted and never seen again.
"Night Ghost, I’ve always considered you a gentleman. Let’s agree to discuss matters as such then," continued the Grand Marshal, his expression relaxing. Judging by his demeanor, it seemed the preconditions had been fully lifted, which was promising.
"The future of the Spiritual Body certainly does not belong to the common world. If Warm Monarch has grown up and desires to break free from her shackles and soar in the skies, then, as her father, you should let her. From today, she will embark on a pilgrimage in the dark, and you- will serve as her guide." The Grand Marshal stood up and left this remark behind before walking towards the inner chambers.
Chu You watched as the door to the inner room opened, revealing only darkness within.
Not long after, Warm Monarch, dressed in a vibrant red robe, came out. From the beginning, her gaze was solely fixed on Chu You, never wavering even when she reached him.
No one else emerged from the inner room, leaving only Chu You and the young girl Warm Monarch in the great hall.
Chu You rose, instantly towering over the girl in front of him. Warm Monarch consequently had to raise her head, seemingly not wanting to miss any information in the man’s eyes.
