"Forbidden area?" Su Mo frowned. However, in order to find the Blood-striped Seed, he had to explore it even if it was a forbidden area.
"Elder Hu, are there any dangers in the Mist Mountains?" Su Mo asked in a deep voice.
Deputy Hall Chief Hu said, "I'm not sure about the specific dangers in the Mist Mountains. But according to those who were lucky enough to walk out of the Mist Mountains, they would lose their way and would never be able to walk out."
"I see!" Su Mo understood. If it was just getting lost and there were no other dangers, it was not too dangerous.
"Well … Brother Su Mo, can you continue to explain to me?" Deputy Hall Chief Hu asked expectantly.
"Haha!"
Su Mo chuckled and said, "Elder Hu, I won't leave for the time being. Let's talk about it after you understand some of the knowledge!"
"Haha, good. Then you can stay here for the time being. I'll make arrangements for you." Deputy Hall Chief Hu was overjoyed and said with a laugh.
If Su Mo stayed here, he would be able to learn craftsmanship from him. It was a great thing for him!
"Thank you, Elder Hu!" Su Mo thanked him.
The reason why Su Mo wanted to stay here was to spend some time improving his cultivation before going to the Mist Mountains.
The Mist Mountains were known as the forbidden area, so Su Mo did not dare to be careless. The stronger he was, the more confident he would be.
"Come with me, I will personally arrange a place for you to stay." Vice Elder Hu's face was glowing as he stood up and walked down the stairs.
Su Mo followed him.
Soon, Deputy Hall Chief Hu led Su Mo to the second floor of the tower.
"Elder Hu, where's Master Cui?" Su Mo wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. If he did not solve the problem of Master Cui, he would not be able to rest easy.
"Let's go find Lil Cui!" Deputy Hall Chief Hu said with a smile. Of course, he knew what Su Mo meant.
Then, Deputy Hall Chief Hu led Su Mo to a room on the second floor.
"Bang!"
Deputy Hall Chief Hu pushed open the door with a muffled sound.
"Who's there?"
In the room, Master Cui was resting with his eyes closed when the door was suddenly pushed open. He was furious and yelled at the top of his lungs.
However, when he saw Deputy Hall Chief Hu and Su Mo walking in together, his face changed.
"Greetings, Deputy Hall Chief!"
Master Cui hurriedly got up and bowed to Deputy Hall Master Hu.
Master Cui was anxious. He was not sure if Vice Hall Master Hu would blame him for his harsh tone just now!
Glancing at Su Mo beside Deputy Hall Chief Hu, Master Cui was confused. He did not know why Su Mo and the Deputy Hall Chief had come to find him.
"Humph! Little Cui, you've got some guts! "Deputy Hall Master Hu snorted coldly with a straight face.
Master Cui's heart skipped a beat. He asked in surprise, "Deputy Hall Master, I didn't know it was you, so I offended you. Please forgive me!"
Master Cui thought that his yelling had angered Vice Tang Hu, so he immediately explained.
Vice Hall Master Hu's expression was cold and stern. He asked indifferently, "Xiao Cui, I heard that you want to punish this old man's brother?"
"Ah?"
Master Cui was dumbfounded when he heard Vice Hall Master Hu's words.
Vice Hall Master's brother?
Who is it?
Since when did he want to punish the vice hall master's brother?
Seeing Vice Hall Chief's cold face, Master Cui hurriedly said, "Vice Hall Chief, no! I wouldn't dare to punish your brother even if I had ten guts! "
"Really?"
Vice Hall Chief Hu sneered and then turned to Su Mo. "Brother Su Mo, Lil Cui is too audacious. How do you think we should deal with him?"
"What?"
Master Cui's eyes widened and he looked at Su Mo in disbelief.
How could Su Mo be the Deputy Hall Chief's brother?
Master Cui could not wrap his head around this. How could a young man in his twenties, an honorary craftsman, be the Deputy Hall Chief's brother?
Su Mo stared at Master Cui with a faint smile and said coldly, "This man is unforgivable. Why don't you just kill him?"
Vice Hall Chief Hu was stunned and then looked at Su Mo. He did not expect Su Mo to be so ruthless as to kill someone.
However, Master Cui's life was not worth mentioning in Vice Hall Chief Hu's eyes. Although Master Cui was an Upper King craftsman, there were more than 30 Upper King craftsmen in the entire Craftsmanship Hall.
Vice Hall Chief Hu was more than happy to exchange Master Cui's life for Su Mo's good impression.
"Alright!" Vice Hall Master Hu pondered for a while, then nodded heavily.
Master Cui's face turned pale when he heard their conversation. He was terrified.
"Vice Hall Chief, please don't!"
Master Cui said in horror, "Deputy Hall Master, I've been working hard for the Refining Hall all these years. Even if I don't make any contributions, I've worked hard!"
Master Cui loudly begged Vice Hall Chief Hu for mercy. If he could not change Vice Hall Chief Hu's mind, he would definitely die.
Although Vice Hall Chief Hu was only the Vice Hall Chief of the Craftsmanship Hall, he was the real manager of the Craftsmanship Hall.
As for the real Hall Chief, he was completely obsessed with craftsmanship and did not care about anything else.
Then, Master Cui looked at Su Mo and said, "Master Su, it's all my fault! I didn't know your identity! I hope you can be magnanimous and let me off this time! "
Master Cui begged Su Mo again because he knew that as long as Su Mo agreed, Vice Hall Chief Hu would not kill him!
Su Mo was speechless. He did not mean to kill Master Cui. He just wanted to scare Master Cui.
However, he did not expect that Master Cui, an Upper King craftsman, would be so weak that he almost knelt down and admitted his mistake!
Su Mo said that he wanted to kill Master Cui not only to scare Vice Hall Chief Hu, but also to test Vice Hall Chief Hu.
It seemed that Vice Hall Chief Hu was also a ruthless man who could sacrifice his craftsmen for his own benefit.
Su Mo could not help but feel a chill in his heart. It seemed that he had to be more careful in the future because he was asking a tiger for its skin.
However, Su Mo knew very well that Deputy Hall Chief Hu would always treat him as a distinguished guest and would not fall out with him if he could bring benefits to him.
"Brother Su Mo, Lil Cui has admitted his mistake. How about letting him go this time?" Vice Hall Chief Hu looked at Su Mo and said in a deep voice.
Of course, Vice Hall Chief Hu would not kill Master Cui if he could save his life.
Su Mo nodded and said, "Master Cui, for Elder Hu's sake, I'll let it go this time, but it won't happen again!"
"Thank you, Master Su. There won't be a next time!" Master Cui was overjoyed and greatly relieved.
"Elder Hu, let's go!" Su Mo looked at Vice Hall Chief Hu. He was pressed for time and did not want to talk nonsense with Master Cui.
"Alright!"
Vice Hall Chief Hu nodded and then left with Su Mo.
