Hu Liena's entanglement, Ning Fengzhi's scheme.
Chapter 70 Hu Liena's entanglement, Ning Fengzhi's scheme.
"What?"
Tang San's body trembled slightly as he looked at his father in disbelief.
He had never seen his mother since birth, all because of the Spirit Hall.
At this moment, his hatred for the Spirit Hall reached its peak.
Tang Hao suppressed his anger and patted Tang San on the shoulder.
"There are still many things I can't tell you. If you want to know, then become stronger, strong enough for me to look up to you."
Upon hearing this, Tang San remained silent for a long time.
Just the sheer power of Su Mo made him feel hopeless. Could he really stand up against the Spirit Hall?
"From now on, train with me, and I will make you the strongest in the world."
After Tang Hao finished speaking, he entered a meditative state, leaving Tang San alone to contemplate life.
A month passed quickly. Xie Yue and Yan had already gone to Death Valley for training, while Hu Liena stayed in Wuhun City to complete Bibi Dong's mission.
"Su Mo, can't you come shopping with me?"
Hu Liena sat on the edge of Su Mo's bed, her right index finger circling several times around Su Mo's chest, while her left hand caressed Su Mo's impressive biceps.
"No, please leave."
Su Mo said calmly, then turned over and continued sleeping.
Since the competition, Hu Liena has been bothering him every day, even knocking on his door at night.
Seeing Su Mo's indifferent attitude, Hu Liena was not annoyed. The more Su Mo acted this way, the more at ease she felt.
She wasn't ready to give herself to him yet, and hoped that Su Mo would be as indifferent to her as possible.
But at the same time, she also hoped that Su Mo would respond, not only because of the teacher's assignment, but also because of the selfish desires of a young girl in love.
Watching Hu Liena's departing figure, Su Mo breathed a sigh of relief.
Hu Liena's allure was simply abnormal; he lost control of himself several times.
Add to that Hu Liena's stunning beauty, and it would be a lie to say he wasn't tempted.
He got out of bed, dressed, and began his daily practice.
It has been more than half a year since Su Mo last consumed the immortal herb. According to Su Mo's prediction, he will be able to consume the immortal herb again in a few days.
He has completely absorbed many immortal herbs, and his current physical body can be described as a humanoid soul beast.
"Su Mo, Su Mo, cultivation also requires a balance of work and rest."
A familiar voice came from outside the door, and Yue Guan pushed the door open and entered.
"Let's begin, teacher."
Su Mo didn't respond and continued speaking to himself.
"Why."
Seeing this, Yue Guan sighed helplessly.
There isn't a single young person who doesn't like Hu Liena.
Yan had been pursuing Hu Liena for countless years, but he had never even held her hand.
Now Hu Liena is pursuing Su Mo, but Su Mo is like a block of wood, not giving any response.
Yue Guan put aside her thoughts, removed Su Mo's shirt, and began today's body tempering.
Outside the window, a pair of phoenix eyes secretly glanced at Su Mo. Looking at Su Mo's powerful back, Hu Liena's heart couldn't help but beat faster.
But she quickly looked away; it was really inappropriate for a girl to peep into a boys' dormitory.
Su Mo naturally sensed Hu Liena's presence, but he didn't pay any attention to it.
As long as Hu Liena doesn't peep on me while I'm taking a shower, it's fine.
No one knows where that little scoundrel has run off to; the Spirit Hall has been searching for him for a month without success.
Half an hour later, today's body tempering was completed.
The Spirit Hall hasn't made any major moves yet, and Yue Guan comes to the academy to find Su Mo every day.
Su Mo understood that this was his teacher repaying the kindness of that piece of soul bone.
It must be said that with Yue Guan's personal help, Su Mo's cultivation of the Vajra Indestructible Technique progressed much faster, and he will achieve minor success in a few more months.
However, to achieve the invincible golden body like Yue Guan, one still needs to cultivate for several more years.
Although Su Mo ate the immortal herb, his martial spirit was still the Myriad Shadows Sword, which could not compare to Yue Guan's Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum.
"Thank you, teacher."
Su Mo cupped his hands in greeting and bowed to Yue Guan, who was drenched in sweat.
"It's nothing, it's nothing."
Yue Guan laughed.
He knew that what he had done was only superficial and could not compare to the soul bone that Su Mo had given him.
With that soul bone, his sparring with ghosts has become much easier these days; in the past, he was always the one being pinned down and beaten by ghosts.
Yue Guan pushed open the door and left. After taking a bath, Su Mo began his cultivation for the day.
Inside Ning Fengzhi's room at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Ning Rongrong sat down next to Ning Fengzhi and said in a coquettish tone:
"Father, when are you going to Wuhun City?"
Ning Fengzhi looked troubled, unsure how to respond.
Ning Rongrong had been pestering him for a month, insisting that he go to Wuhun City to capture and kill Su Mo.
However, Su Mo is now a favorite of the Pope, and even if he used the full strength of his clan, he would not be able to capture him.
"Rongrong, please don't make things difficult for the sect leader."
Standing beside Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin frowned slightly as she tried to help him out of the predicament.
Ning Rongrong has been enrolled for nearly two years, but she still hasn't gotten rid of her spoiled young lady habits, which makes Chen Xin worry about Chen Jian's future.
"Grandpa Sword, couldn't you just go and kill him quietly?"
Ning Rongrong wrapped her arm around Chen Xin's left arm and began to act coquettishly.
She believed that if even Tang San's father could infiltrate Wuhun City, Chen Xin's strength would certainly allow him to do so as well.
"Rongrong, just focus on your cultivation, don't worry about these things."
Chen Xin earnestly tried to persuade Ning Rongrong to forget Su Mo.
He wanted to do it too, but Wuhun City was heavily guarded, and he would be discovered before he even saw Su Mo.
Ning Rongrong responded listlessly:
"oh."
She believed that the loss in this competition was all because of Su Mo, and that Su Mo was now a Soul Master, which made her extremely jealous.
"Rongrong, you go and cultivate first. I have something to talk to your Grandpa Sword about."
Ning Fengzhi seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly said seriously.
"Um."
Ning Rongrong readily agreed and then left the room.
"Uncle Jian, I have an idea, but it requires Jian'er to make some sacrifices."
Ning Fengzhi said with a smile.
"Sect Leader, please speak."
Chen Xin looked at Ning Fengzhi with surprise and frowned.
"Do you still remember why Su Mo left the sect back then?"
Ning Fengzhi said.
Why did you leave the sect?
After pondering for a moment, Chen Xin came up with the answer.
Su Mo was forced away by himself, so why is the sect leader suddenly asking this?
Ning Fengzhi's thought process is quite unique.
"Su Mo broke off the engagement precisely because Rongrong ignored him, which is why he left the sect in a fit of anger."
"We'll take Rongrong with us now, pretending to invite Su Mo back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and then offer him a soul bone so that Rongrong can say a few good words for him."
"Once we lure them out of Spirit City, we can do whatever we want with them!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Xin was somewhat stunned.
Now that Jian'er and Rongrong's relationship has warmed up, doing this would inevitably damage their relationship.
But then he remembered how Su Mo used to follow Rongrong around every day when he was in the sect, and he was happy to do so even if Rongrong ignored him.
Although two years have passed, how much of that deep affection can it dissipate?
Su Mo has now reached the Soul Douluo level; if he is not eliminated, he will surely become a great threat in the future.
Thinking of this, Chen Xin nodded heavily.
