"Let's wait for a while more! My daughter will be out soon! "
Governor Bai then gestured for Su Mo to wait, and Su Mo waited patiently.
Countless eyes fell on Su Mo as he stood outside the gate. Many of the Great Martial City onlookers knew that he was an outsider, and that his strength was comparable to the governor's.
Many of them whispered to each other and made comments about him.
Su Mo ignored them and carefully observed the carriages.
Great Martial City had nominated 10 women to participate in the consort selection. Including Bai Yin 'er, that made a total of 11 women.
Among the 11 carriages, the last 10 gave off strong cultivation auras. They were all True Darkness Realm martial artists.
It seemed that Bai Yin 'er's cultivation was the highest!
A few moments later, a slender gray-robed person walked out of the Mansion of the City Governor.
Su Mo was first stunned when he saw the person's face, and then he almost burst out laughing.
This person was none other than Bai Yin 'er.
However, Bai Yin 'er was no longer as valiant and energetic as she used to be!
Bai Yin 'er was wearing a coarse linen robe, and her face was smeared with rouge. She had even applied some powder to her eyebrows, but it was unclear whether she had done it incorrectly or she had done it on purpose, but she looked like a clown.
What was even more ridiculous was that her high ponytail was no longer there. Instead, her hair had been cut short.
Su Mo was not the only one who was shocked. Governor Bai, the guards and maidservants, as well as the crowd of onlookers were also shocked.
This … this was the daughter of the city governor, Bai Yin 'er?
Everyone was dumbfounded. How could Bai Yin 'er participate in the consort selection in this state?
Governor Bai's face twitched, but he sighed inwardly. He knew why his daughter was in this state. She wanted to lose the consort selection.
"Father, I'm leaving!"
Bai Yin 'er knew that she was embarrassing herself, so she did not linger. She bade farewell to her father and entered the first carriage.
"Let's go!"
It was at this moment that the fair-faced, beardless, middle-aged divine guard chief at the front of the caravan shouted. The caravan started moving.
Su Mo cupped his fists at Governor Bai and took his leave. He then strode to Bai Yin 'er's carriage and followed it.
The carriages moved very quickly. The Flaming Dragon Horse was a Lv 4 demonic beast with incredible speed. The escorts were all experts, and even the maidservants were above the True Spirit Realm.
Soon, the carriages left Great Martial City and galloped across the vast land.
Other than the thirty or so divine guards leading the way, there were more than two hundred guards and maids. Most of these guards and maids were from the City Lord's mansion.
Su Mo was now Bai Yin 'er's personal guard, so he followed her carriage closely.
Although the caravan was traveling on foot, it was still very fast. It could be said that traveling ten thousand miles in a day was a piece of cake.
Su Mo was speechless. It was said that the Imperial City was not far away and could be reached in at most two hours by flying. How could they bring so many people and make such a big scene!
Of course, Su Mo also knew that this was the Great's concubine selection, so he had to make a big scene.
Su Mo traveled 300 meters with each step and healed his wounds as he traveled.
He glanced at the luxurious carriage beside him and thought of Bai Yin 'er's strange attire, and he could not help but smile.
It seemed that she did not want to be the Imperial Consort! Such an unconventional attire was rare even in the Firmament and Continent!
Especially that head of capable short hair, it was something that had never been seen in this world.
Su Mo found it funny. This woman was also a weirdo. How could she come up with such a stupid idea just because she did not want to be the Imperial Consort?
Whoosh!
At this moment, the curtain of the carriage beside him was lifted, and Bai Yin 'er's head poked out.
"Su Mo, can … can you talk to me?" Bai Yin 'er asked softly, biting her red lips.
Su Mo glanced at her. He did not expect this unruly lady to have such a gentle side. He nodded slightly and asked, "What do you want to talk about?"
Bai Yin 'er was silent for a moment, and then she asked softly, "Do I look ugly in this attire?"
"Not at all!" Su Mo shook his head.
"How is this not ugly?" Bai Yin 'er did not believe him and thought that Su Mo did not want to upset her.
Su Mo seemed to recall something, and the sealed memories in his heart were slowly unraveling.
"In my hometown, there are many people who dress like you. To be honest, seeing you like this makes me feel like I'm back in my hometown!"
Su Mo said slowly. He was not lying. In his previous life, there were too many women with short hair and heavy makeup.
"Ah! Are you serious? Why are the people in your hometown so weird? " Bai Yin 'er was surprised to hear this. She had deliberately dressed like this to make herself uglier so that she would not be chosen during the Great Emperor's concubine selection.
She did not hesitate to cut off her beautiful long hair.
But Su Mo said that the people in his hometown were all like this!
"It's not strange. Our hometown is more open!" Su Mo said with a smile.
"Then can you tell me what kind of world it is outside the Mist Mountains?"
Bai Yin 'er's interest was piqued and she asked curiously. She had thought that the hometown he mentioned was outside the Mist Mountains!
"Sure!"
Su Mo nodded and thought for a while before saying slowly, "Outside the Mist Mountains is the Firmament and Continent. The Firmament and Continent is divided into five continents, each of which is vast and boundless. The Mist Mountains are located in the Central Continent …!"
Su Mo told Bai Yin 'er about the situation in the outside world in detail.
Bai Yin 'er listened attentively, and her pretty face was full of yearning.
After Su Mo finished, Bai Yin 'er sighed and said faintly, "I really envy you for living in such a wonderful world. If only I could leave this place and go to your hometown!"
Su Mo could not help but look at Bai Yin 'er carefully. He found that her face was full of loneliness, and her previous liveliness was long gone.
Su Mo immediately understood that this woman had no choice and was completely unwilling to be the Imperial Consort.
"It's not difficult to get out!"
Su Mo said softly. It might be difficult for others to get out of the Mist Mountains, but it was relatively easy for him with the Ghostly Magic Sight Martial Soul.
Bai Yin 'er shook her head and sighed. "It's not that easy! For countless years, no one has ever walked out of the Mist Mountains! "
In the past, many people had tried to walk out, but most of them got lost in the Mist Mountains and died in the mountains.
Of course, some people might have walked out, but they obviously would not come back, so no one would know!
"Once I'm done with the imperial palace, I'll leave the Mist Mountains!" Su Mo said quietly.
