I'd Intended to Get Along with You as an Ordinary Person...
Perhaps not many people present knew of the Wind Thunder Pavilion's reputation...
But the words "Central Plains" sent a jolt through everyone present!
Everyone on the entire Dou Qi Continent knows that the true powerhouses on the continent almost all gather in one place: Central Plains!
Looking across the entire Black Corner Region, or even the entire Northwest Region, a Dou Emperor is already considered a first-rate expert, while a Dou Zong is even a top-tier expert.
As for the even higher level of Dou Zun ...
Well, none of the people present had ever seen a powerhouse of this level, so they were still in the situation of only knowing his name but never seeing him in person.
Central Plains, that is the most central place in this world, and the dream place that everyone dreams of seeing at least once in their lifetime!
"Are you really from Central Plains?"
The woman clinging to Mo Tang's shoulder breathed softly, her gentle tone carrying a hint of shock and surprise.
Mo Tang smiled slightly, not giving her a definite answer, but saying softly, "We'll talk about that when we have time..."
"Hehehe, okay, then I'll be waiting for you..."
Su Mei's charming laughter rang out, causing many men present to feel a surge of heat in their hearts.
Tie Wu, standing nearby, glanced at her with some envy, inwardly cursing, "That bastard! I never thought she'd actually hooked a golden dragon!"
If she could truly establish a connection with a powerful force in the Central Plains, then even if she didn't simply move her sect there, the mere name alone would allow Su Mei to roam freely in the Black Corner Region...
As long as you don't provoke those taboo beings, even if the entire Black Corner Region is full of desperados, not many people would dare to truly challenge a terrifying being from the Central Plains!
However, just what level of existence is this Wind Thunder Pavilion?
Some of the more unsophisticated Tie Wu secretly speculated...
At the same time, the unfamiliar Dou Emperor who had been fighting Yin Gu Lao with reckless abandon suddenly bowed respectfully to Mo Tang and said, "I am Hong Cheng, from Tianbei City in the Northern Domain of Central Plains..."
Mo Tang raised an eyebrow.
If you're talking about other cities, then I won't say much more.
But if you're talking about Tianbei City, then I'm not sleepy anymore!
"Tianbei City? You're from the Hong Family?"
Tianbei City falls under the Sphere of influence of the Wind Thunder Pavilion's Northern Branch, while the Hong Family is the leading family in Tianbei City, constantly engaged in open and covert struggles with another family Han Family.
In the original novel, Xiao Yan had just entered Central Plains when he encountered a conflict between two families. He then killed the Hong Family's disciple who had joined the Northern Pavilion, thus incurring the enmity of the Wind Thunder North Pavilion. In the end, the Wind Thunder Pavilion was destroyed...
Well, although the Wind Thunder Pavilion is considered one of the top forces in Central Plains, its role in the original story is actually similar to that of the Mo Clan. Both are like monsters that help the Protagonist level up, except that the Wind Thunder Pavilion seems more like a mid-level boss, while the Mo Clan might not even be considered an elite monster...
As for Hong Cheng...
If he had any doubts before, when he heard the other party mention the Hong Family of Tianbei City, he instantly realized that the other party was from Central Plains.
After all, the Northern Domain of Central Plains is simply too vast, with countless cities, including many like Tianbei City. The probability of people from other regions knowing about this city, or even the families within it, is extremely small.
Moreover, Tianbei City is within the Sphere of influence of the Wind Thunder North Pavilion and has a close relationship with the Wind Thunder North Pavilion. Now that the other party has such insight, he is likely an elite disciple of the Wind Thunder North Pavilion, and may even be Direct Disciple of some important figure!
After some mental calculation, Hong Cheng's attitude became even more respectful.
To everyone's astonishment, he actually bowed deeply to Mo Tang before saying, "Young master is too kind. Although I am also surnamed Hong, I have no relation to the Hong Family, the number one family in Tianbei City."
Mo Tang gave an understanding "Oh," and said, "I see."
After saying that, he seemed to lose interest in continuing the conversation and immediately fell silent.
This made Hong Cheng anxious...
If such a good opportunity slips away, wouldn't I suffer a huge loss?
Besides, he had offended someone in Central Plains, which was why he had no choice but to come to a place like Black Corner Region to avoid trouble. If he could get on the good side of the Wind Thunder Pavilion, what would he have to be afraid of?
Thinking of this, he finally couldn't help himself and knelt down on one knee in mid-air, cupped his fists above his head, and said, "Young Master, Hong Cheng has long admired the Wind Thunder Pavilion, but due to his low status and mediocre talent, he has no chance to enter."
"Today I have had the pleasure of seeing your esteemed countenance, and I am utterly captivated by your extraordinary beauty. I am willing to serve you, my lord, by holding your horse's stirrups and offering you my services. I humbly request that you take me in!"
Mo Tang's lips twitched violently, clearly overwhelmed by the other party's shameless flattery...
Beside her, Su Mei stared in shock at Hong Cheng, then looked at Mo Tang, whom she was holding, and her arms tightened involuntarily.
"Ahem, um, Hong Cheng, right?"
After a slightly awkward cough, Mo Tang finally spoke.
"I have no intention of taking in servants at the moment, so you may leave."
This decisive refusal left many people present completely dumbfounded...
Keep in mind, this is a Dou Emperor!
They're practically begging to be your servant, and you still don't want them? Do you think you're some kind of god?!
But then you think about it again, they come from a major power in the Central Plains, and their status is definitely not low. What you consider an unparalleled Dou Huang expert might be nothing in their eyes at all...
Thinking about it this way, doesn't the other party's reaction seem quite reasonable?
"Tsk tsk, someone like that is actually willing to be a Deputy Sect Leader in the Rakshasa Gate... Is it because Su Mei is good enough?"
Hong Cheng left disappointed after being directly rejected.
He figured the other party probably looked down on him because he lacked connections and family resources, which was why they rejected him...
It seems that you need to have enough qualifications to curry favor with someone powerful.
Su Mei stared blankly at the man she was hugging, unwilling to let go.
A long time...
"Little Brother Tang, are you really from the Wind Thunder Pavilion of Central Plains?"
Mo Tang smiled slightly and asked in return, "What do you think?"
Su Mei immediately rolled her eyes at the other person, but in her heart she was already pretty sure it was true.
Moreover, judging from the other party's attitude towards him, which was completely different from the cold arrogance he showed when he rejected Hong Cheng, it seemed that he still liked him quite a bit...
Sure enough, no one can resist my charm!
If Mo Tang knew what she was thinking, he would definitely roll his eyes to the heavens.
Damn it, do you think I wouldn't want a Dou Emperor- level servant? But the other party is paying homage to the Wind Thunder Pavilion, not to a mere Dou Wang like myself...
If I were really a Wind Thunder Pavilion, that would be fine, but I am not!
If we were to accept the other party's offer, wouldn't we be exposed in no time?
However, Mo Tang doesn't yet have the courage to subdue Hong Cheng...
But if he were to use the name of the Wind Thunder Pavilion to fool those bumpkins from the Three Major Powers, Mo Tang would have the guts, and a lot of them!
With a sigh, Mo Tang casually shrugged and whispered in Su Mei's ear, "I originally intended to interact with you as an ordinary person... I never expected that someone would recognize us..."
