Chapter 343: Venerable White’s ma.s.s express delivery

Translator: Stardu5t Editor: Kurisu

Suddenly, Chu Chu thought of that good-looking senior.

Maybe I can seek help from that senior? That senior seemed very strong. Perhaps he is a Fourth Stage cultivator or even a Fifth Stage Golden Core Spiritual Emperor.

But soon, she sighed.

What did she have to offer to acquire that senior's help to save her family?

It was already out of extreme benevolence that the senior personally saved her. If she took it for granted and asked for more by requesting him to help the Chu Family, it would seem as though she was ungrateful. After all, he was neither a relative nor friends with the Chu Family, why should he help them?

Of course, if she could come up with some form of remuneration that could pique that senior's interest… but she knew that even with the help of every single member of the Chu Family, they still might not be able to come up with anything that would be of interest to that senior. Even if she were to give him the 'sword technique' that the Chu Family and the Illusory Sword School were fighting over, it might be just an ordinary 'sword technique' in that senior's eyes.

Chu Chu forced a laugh; her arm slightly budged and her little finger picked up the small dagger next to her. Venerable White took the dagger back from Whale Eight and placed it next to Miss Chu Chu.

While she was holding onto the dagger lightly, Chu Chu was deep in thought for a long, long time.

Suddenly, she laughed at herself. If she was ungrateful, then so be it. Right now, the Chu Family needed all the help it could get—if the battle on the Grievance Settling Platform ended up in defeat, given the Illusory Sword School's despicable conduct, such as attempting to murder her when the battle had not even started, they would definitely destroy the entire Chu Family after the fight.

Her family was facing the danger of extermination.

At this time, they really required a strong senior cultivator to lend them a helping hand.

If she requested the senior to help them… perhaps the senior might reject her without any hesitation. But there was a small chance that if that senior was in a good mood, he might choose to help them, right?

If I ask for help, there is still a small chance; but if I don't ask at all, there is none.

Let's just give it a shot.

For the sake of the Chu Family, she was going to be ungrateful for once. Perhaps it might cause him to loathe her, or perhaps it could be the turning point for the Chu Family.

He didn't need to do too much—all he had to do was make an appearance in the Chu Family and express his intention to protect them. That would do.

Chu Chu's small hand gripped the hilt of the dagger tightly, and she took deep breaths while thinking about how she was going to ask that senior for his help.

At this time, the entrance of the tent opened up, and a tall figure stepped inside.

”Senior, if Chu Chu may be so bold as to ask you a favor!” Chu Chu subconsciously opened her mouth and blurted out the beginning of the speech that she had been crafting in her head for a while.

At the entrance of the tent, Song Shuhang touched his bald head. As the rays of the sun shone on his head, it reflected a blinding light.

”Erm, I'm not a senior,” said Song Shuhang, feeling rather embarra.s.sed.

He just wanted to take a look at Miss Chu Chu's wounds. He did not expect Miss Chu Chu to suddenly raise her voice, catching him off guard and giving him a scare instead.

Chu Chu tilted her head and saw the figure who walked in clearly. So it was the young man who fell from the sky together with the huge whale at that time…

Chu Chu sighed softly. Her fighting spirit was strong at first; then it decreased, and finally, it disappeared completely. She had mustered up all her courage to seek help from the senior, but little did she expect the person who entered to be Song Shuhang. Her enthusiasm was immediately greatly diminished.

”Miss Chu Chu, what kind of request do you have? Why don't you tell me about it?” Song Shuhang walked next to Chu Chu and covered her with a blanket so that she wouldn't expose her skin… even though given her current condition, there was nothing much for her to expose anyway.

Chu Chu's little face was full of hesitation, but she still told Shuhang about her request. ”I would like that strong senior to help my Chu Family… originally, our family did not stand much of a chance to win the battle on the Grievance Settling Platform. And now, before the battle even began, the Illusory Sword School used underhanded tricks to harm me. My wounds are rather serious, and out of the nine matches in the three categories, we are likely going to lose the matches of younger generation category now that I'm injured. As for our chances of winning the remaining two categories, they are rather small. Hence, I thought about asking that senior for help.”

Song Shuhang pinched his chin and smiled. ”So you're thinking of asking Venerable White to help and attend the event on the Grievance Settling Platform?

”Ven… Ven… Venerable?” Chu Chu stuttered. That good-looking senior is actually a Seventh Stage Venerable?

A Seventh Stage Venerable was a scary existence. She initially thought that Senior White was a Fourth or Fifth Stage cultivator at most… if that was the case, it might still be effective for her to ask for his help. But if he were a Seventh Stage Venerable... Why would any Seventh Stage Venerable be bored enough to interfere in a feud between a mediocre school and a tiny aristocratic family? It almost sounded like a joke.

Song Shuhang laughed. Miss Chu Chu's worries were unfounded since Soft Feather was already overseeing the matters of the Chu Family...

And the person supporting Soft Feather was similarly an experienced Seventh Stage Spiritual Venerable. With Soft Feather around, the Chu Family would not get taken advantage of.

”Miss Chu Chu, how does one compete on the Grievance Settling Platform?” asked Song Shuhang out of curiosity.

Chu Chu once mentioned to him that the fights on the Grievance Settling Platform occurred when cultivator schools or families were in conflict yet not hostile toward each other to the point where they'd fight to the death. Hence, both parties would take part in the battle on the Grievance Settling Platform to resolve their feud, but a set of restrictions and limitations would be imposed, and the Cultivators' Alliance would oversee the event.

But Song Shuhang was curious about how the compet.i.tion worked.

Was it a big battle royale where a couple of people from each party went up and fought it out? Or was it a one-on-one fight in the ring? Or else, was it a compet.i.tion where partic.i.p.ants had to enter some secret territory and seize a treasure?

”The Grievance Settling Platform...” Miss Chu Chu laughed bitterly, but she still continued to explain it to Song Shuhang, ”The Grievance Settling Platform is also separated into different levels according to the strength and power of the partic.i.p.ants. As for the higher level ones, I'm not too sure myself. The battle on the Grievance Settling Platform between the Chu Family and the Illusory Sword School is done in an open tournament fas.h.i.+on, with three categories, and three matches per category.
