Hearing Shangguan Hao's words, Xi 'er's pretty face turned cold.
"You … I won't allow you to say that about Brother Su Mo."
Xi 'er's eyes flashed with anger. She disliked anyone who insulted Su Mo.
Shangguan Hao raised his eyebrows. He did not expect Xi 'er to care so much about this native.
"Miss, the Palace Master has ordered us to take you back to the palace. We'll take you away no matter what."
The 13th Elder said. The Palace Master had ordered him to take Xi 'er back even if she did not want to.
"Brother Su Mo!"
Xi 'er looked at Su Mo nervously.
"Xi 'er, don't worry!"
Su Mo patted her hand and said, "No one can take you away as long as I'm here."
Su Mo was happy that Xi 'er could find her parents. He would not stop her if she wanted to return to her family, but he would not allow her to be taken away since she did not want to.
"You're here? How dare a lowly ant like you talk big! "
Shangguan Hao shouted coldly. Suddenly, he stamped his foot, and a blast of air rushed out and hit Su Mo.
"Puff!"
Su Mo spat out a mouthful of blood and fell heavily on the ground.
"Brother Su Mo!" Xi 'er was shocked and hurried to help him up.
"Mo 'er!"
Su Hong was furious. He looked at Shangguan Hao and shouted, "What do you mean?"
"You're not qualified to talk to me!"
Shangguan Hao waved his sleeve without looking at Su Hong. Su Hong suddenly felt a great force hit his body. His body shook violently and he took a few steps back with a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.
"What?"
Su Hong was horrified, and his heart was in turmoil.
"How can he be so strong?"
"This young man is only 16 or 17 years old, but he just waved his hand and injured him."
Shangguan Hao was extremely arrogant and overbearing. In his eyes, Su Hong and the others were just country bumpkins who were not even qualified to talk to him.
Su Mo clenched his fists tightly as anger surged in his heart. How could this man be so arrogant and presumptuous?
However, he wasn't impulsive enough to go up and fight with his life on the line. The difference in strength was too great, and he wouldn't be able to gain anything by going up.
Moreover, there was an even more powerful elder next to him.
"Alright, Saint, let's not waste any more time. The Palace Master is still waiting for us to return!"
13th Elder said to Shangguan Hao. Then he looked at Xi 'er and said, "Miss, I'm sorry. Let's go back to Emperor Xuan Palace."
The Thirteenth Elder waved his hand and a gust of wind brought Xi 'er to his side.
"Xi'er!" Su Mo was shocked. Just as he was about to step forward, a terrifying pressure came over him, causing his body to shake. It was as if there was a mountain pressing down on him and he could not move an inch.
"Let me go, let me go!"
Xi 'er shouted angrily, but she couldn't break free no matter how hard she tried.
"Miss, what exactly do you want?"
The Thirteenth Elder asked with a sullen face. If it wasn't for the fact that she was the Palace Lord's daughter, he wouldn't have bothered with her and would have taken her away long ago.
"I don't want to go with you. I want to be with Brother Su Mo."
Xi 'er shouted.
The 13th Elder frowned, glanced at Su Mo, shook his head, and said, "You can never be together."
"Why?"
Xi 'er asked.
"Because you will be from two different worlds!"
The 13th Elder said indifferently, "He's just an ordinary man, like a carp in a lake. He can only live in a small lake forever and will never be able to see the vast world outside. Miss, when you return to the Emperor Xuan Palace, you will become a bird flying in the sky, spreading your wings and flying further and further. Do you understand?"
The farthest distance in the world was between a bird and a fish.
Xi 'er was stunned, but then she shook her head firmly and said, "I don't need to understand. I just want to be with Brother Su Mo."
Su Mo's heart trembled when he heard this. He didn't expect Xi 'er to have such deep feelings for him.
The 13th Elder's face turned cold and he said, "Miss, let me give you a piece of advice. You'd better forget him! If the Palace Lord knows about this, not only him, but also his family will be annihilated. "
Xi 'er was stunned.
Su Mo's expression changed. After a while, he suddenly said to Xi 'er, "Xi' er, go with them!"
"Brother Su Mo!" Xi 'er was shocked and looked at Su Mo in confusion.
"Xi 'er, he's right. You can only cultivate martial arts better if you go back with them. I'll go to Central Continent to find you later."
Su Mo said seriously.
Su Mo had thought it through. It was not a bad thing for Xi 'er to go back with them. On the contrary, it might hinder Xi' er's martial arts cultivation.
Most importantly, Su Mo knew that the two of them would definitely take Xi 'er away today, and he could not stop them no matter what.
It was all because he was too weak.
Su Mo clenched his fists tightly. At this moment, he had an incomparable desire for strength.
Xi 'er's eyes were red, but she remained silent.
"Ant, stop dreaming. You'll never go to Central Continent in this life, and you'll never see Junior Sister again."
Shangguan Hao smiled disdainfully and his words were full of sarcasm.
Su Mo's eyes were cold. He looked at the youth in brocade in front of him with a surging killing desire.
"It's none of your business whether I can go to Central Continent or see Xi 'er again."
Su Mo said coldly.
"You're courting death! How dare a lowly ant talk to me like this? Do you know who I am? "
Shangguan Hao's eyes were full of killing desire and he shouted coldly.
"What identity? Aren't you from Emperor Xuan Palace? "
Su Mo said.
"Haha! Do you know what Emperor Xuan Palace represents? "
Shangguan Hao sneered and said proudly, "Let me tell you what the Emperor Xuan Palace represents. It represents an unimaginable power! It represents the peak that you can't reach in your life. It can decide the life and death of hundreds of millions of people with a single thought. "
"Now, you know the gap between you and us! Lowly ant! "
Shangguan Hao raised his head high and looked at Su Mo with naked contempt.
Su Mo furrowed his eyebrows. His opponent's disdain made him furious. He said coldly, "You call me a nobody, then I ask you, as powerful as you are now, what realm have you reached?"
"Haha!"
Shangguan Hao smiled proudly and said, "My current cultivation is the realm that you'll look up to for the rest of your life."
"The realm that I'll look up to for the rest of my life?"
Su Mo shook his head disdainfully and said, "Since you're so confident, I'd like to see how you'll make me look up to you for the rest of my life. I only need 10 years, no, five years. I'll definitely surpass you in five years. After five years, I'll challenge you."
Su Mo's words suddenly silenced the crowd and they all looked at him in disbelief.
Even Su Hong was shocked by his son's words.
"What? You're going to challenge me in five years? "
Shangguan Hao was stunned and then he shook his head speechlessly and said, "It seems that you still haven't recognized the gap between you and me. It's sad that you're a frog at the bottom of a well!"
Shangguan Hao then said, "I accept your challenge and I'll be waiting for you at any time! By the way, my name is — Shangguan Hao! "
Shangguan Hao just said it casually and his eyes were full of ridicule. He did not take it seriously at all.
Was it possible for a lowly ant to surpass him in five years?
The answer was definitely no.
Su Mo ignored him and turned to look at the grey-robed elder. He said, "Elder, you just said that Xi 'er will become the bird in the sky and I'll be the carp in the lake. That's a good metaphor and it's very appropriate."
Su Mo's words surprised the crowd and they all thought that Su Mo had figured it out.
The 13th Elder slightly raised his eyebrows and was a little confused. "Has this guy suddenly figured it out?"
At this moment, Su Mo suddenly changed the topic and said, "However, what I want to tell you is that even a carp can leap over the dragon gate and become a dragon. Are you sure that I, Su Mo, will be mediocre for the rest of my life?"
Su Mo's voice was sonorous and powerful. The lofty ambition of a young man seemed to have materialized and soared into the sky.
A carp leaping over the dragon gate?
A golden carp turning into a dragon and soaring into the sky?
Su Mo's impassioned words surprised the 13th Elder. He then shook his head and sized Su Mo up again. He said expressionlessly, "Boy, you're too naive! A carp leaping over the dragon gate? A golden carp turning into a dragon and soaring into the sky? That's just the imagination of the weak! "
The 13th Elder felt a little funny. "This young man is ambitious, but unrealistic!"
"I'll do it. We'll see in five years."
Su Mo said firmly.
The 13th Elder smiled and did not take it seriously. He said to Shangguan Hao, "Holy Son, let's go!"
"Okay!"
Shangguan Hao nodded and looked at Su Mo. He sneered and said, "An ant will always be an ant. He can never go against the natural order!"
After saying that, the two of them took Xi 'er and soared into the sky.
"Brother Su Mo, I like you!"
Xi 'er suddenly said loudly with tears in her beautiful eyes.
Su Mo's heart trembled. This was the first time that Xi 'er had expressed her feelings.
"Xi 'er, remember to wait for me!"
