Chapter 138: I am Chu Mo
Xu Fufu curled her lips in disbelief, looking at Chu Mo derisively. "Brother Hei, confidence is good, but overconfidence is liable to make you look ridiculous. Despite Chu Yan, from your family, being mainly in charge of the intelligence network, all the information still has to be reported to me first!"
Chu Mo glanced at Xu Fufu, "I have other sources of information."
Xu Fufu looks skeptical. "Someone in the palace passing you insider information? How is it possible?"
Chu Mo gave a bitter smile, recalling the woman who had suddenly appeared before him that day.
He didn't recognize the woman, but he did recognize Shen Xingxue, who was beside her. Hence, Chu Mo quickly guessed who the woman was.
An Immortal!
A person from the legendary secluded faction that never mingles with the world appeared in front of him so abruptly — but it didn't particularly surprise Chu Mo.
"Are you Chu Mo?" The woman seemed very young, or at least she looked young.
She had a porcelain complexion and was in her twenties, strikingly beautiful. However, her cold expression, as if everyone owed her money, made Chu Mo rather uncomfortable.
"Yes, I am Chu Mo," Chu Mo nodded.
"Two things. First, Shen Xingxue is my niece. You saved her. I am grateful." She took out a bottle of elixir and placed it in front of Chu Mo, "These pills can elevate you straight to the Golden Stone Realm! It's sufficient payment for saving Xingxue."
Chu Mo was slightly taken aback, as was Shen Xingxue standing next to him.
After regaining his composure, Chu Mo looked at the cold woman with no expression, "When I saved Shen Xingxue, I didn't know about her identity, let alone she was an Immortal or a royal princess. So, I never expected anything in return."
"Don't pretend to be noble or proud in front of me. I know exactly what is in your mind." The cold woman looked at Chu Mo dismissively, "Do not covet things that are not yours. Don't be too greedy. I agreed to talk to you only because you saved Xingxue."
Chu Mo was so angry that he laughed and waved his hand, "You are too noble and cold, too high for me to reach. Please leave. Go where you want. Sorry, I won't see you out."
"Oh yes, take this miraculous potion that can transcend a person...I don't need it." Chu Mo said casually.
"Quite a character, ain't you? You think I would really give it to you if you declined?" The cold woman waved her hand. The elixir on the table disappeared. She then stared at Chu Mo with frigid eyes, "I've done my thanks. Now onto the second matter."
Chu Mo glanced at the cold woman and frowned slightly, "I'd appreciate it if you didn't talk to me in this tone. You may think I'm a mere ant unworthy of your respectful communication. But remember, I owe you nothing!"
The cold woman was slightly taken aback, as if no one had ever confronted her like this. Her icy expression froze for a moment, then she raised her eyebrows and coldly said, "You want me to speak to you gently? You're right, you don't deserve it."
Chu Mo was growing increasingly annoyed with this woman. He spoke directly, "Okay, okay, I get it. You want me to keep my distance from Shen Xingxue, right? Toad shouldn't dream of eating swan meat. Is that it? I promise you, I'll stay away from her. Please disappear from my sight. You're not welcome here."
On hearing this, Shen Xingxue, who had been struggling to interject but found no opportunity to do so, turned pale. She bit her lower lip, her eyes filled with a layer of mist, looking more than a little disheartened.
The cold woman nodded with apparent satisfaction. In her eyes, Chu Mo was nothing more than an ant.
The emotions of ants... need to be taken into account?
"One more thing before I leave, don't think that I actually like being here with you." The cold woman looked at Chu Mo: "Whether it's Shen Xingxue or Miao Yi Niang, they are worlds apart from you! You not only have to keep away from Xingxue, but also from Yi Niang! I know there was a certain intersection between you and Yiniang in the past, but that is the past. The worldly Yi Niang can be your friend, but the Immortal Yi Niang, you are no longer worthy to speak to her, understand?"
A surge of anger suddenly flared in Chu Mo's heart. In his mind, he once again recalled the scenes from his time in Longevity Heaven.
So, Chu Mo started to laugh, apparently very cheerfully.
Even the depressed Shen Xingxue couldn't help but look at Chu Mo in surprise, not knowing what he was laughing about.
The cold woman looked at Chu Mo, her face expressionless: "Is this funny?"
"Get out!" Chu Mo, who was laughing, suddenly issued a roar of anger.
Shen Xingxue trembled with fear, even Shen Aobing, the cold woman, was startled. She looked at Chu Mo, slightly incredulous.
"Can't you understand human language? Or are we from different races now?" Chu Mo's eyes flashed with extremely cold light as he stared at Shen Aobing, the cold woman: "When I tell you to get lost, can't you hear? Do I need to repeat it?"
"You... are you scolding me?" Shen Aobing really seemed to be stunned by the scolding, staring at Chu Mo with her mouth agape.
Who has ever dared to treat her like this?
Even if it was the Emperor of Great Xia, she would not care less about him, daring to say in his face that she could kill him if she was displeased.
Now, a teenager, barely in his teens, dared to talk to her with this attitude... no, he was scolding her!
"Can't I scold you?" Chu Mo looked coldly at Shen Aobing: "What is there between you and me? Who do you think you are? A high and mighty deity? Let's not talk about Shen Xingxue, let's pretend I never saved her or even met her."
"But what has it to do with you, the relationship between Yi Niang and me? What are you? You flaunt your broken elixir in front of me, are you a blind or an idiot? Can't you see Yi Niang's realm level? Have you no brain? Haven't you ever thought how Yi Niang entered the Golden Stone Realm? If Piaomiao Palace had such a thing, would she wait for so many years to use it?" Chu Mo coldly glared at Shen Aobing, chiding her.
"You..." Shen Aobing knew well about Yi Niang's realm level, but she had never thought that there could be any connection between Yi Niang's realm and this worldly young man, Chu Mo.
In her mind, Yi Niang's current realm should be the result of using the Golden Stone Pill left by Piaomiao Palace. There was no other explanation.
Few people know that the Immortal sect is actually good at alchemy. Therefore, no matter what, Shen Aobing could not believe that Chu Mo, a worldly youth, could mix any elixir. He probably couldn't even tell the difference between a dan and a medicinal ingredient, right?
"What 'you'? Your arrogance stems only from being an Immortal, and from your strength in the Heavenly Heart Realm, right? I don't know whether to call you ignorant or arrogant." Chu Mo coldly looked at Shen Aobing: "Did you break through to the Innate Realm yet? When you eventually break into the Innate Realm, then you can say that all the people in the world are ants!"
"Who are you?" Shen Aobing stared at Chu Mo in shock. The ones who could utter such words... could not possibly be ordinary people: "How do you know that I am in the Heavenly Heart Realm?"
However, Chu Mo just looked at Shen Aobing with cold eyes and laughed mockingly: "I am just Chu Mo! The worldly youth you never paid attention to! That's all!" (To be continued.
