It was originally just a family dinner for a few people like Su Mo and Chen Gan.

For various reasons, fifty to sixty people showed up!

They had to buy alcohol multiple times.

Su Mo wasn't short on money now, so he naturally let everyone eat and drink their fill, ensuring a joyous occasion for all.

After over an hour of revelry, the guests finally bid farewell and left.

Chen Gan was completely drunk.

With the county magistrate backing him from above, subordinate clerks and yamen runners helping him below, and the Imperial Guard providing strong support from outside!

From this day on, who would dare look down on the Su and Chen families?

Su Mo, this young brat, had suddenly become the most sought-after figure in Changping County.

How could Chen Gan not be drunk?

In the end, it was Scar Meng and his group who carried him back.

Madam Qian naturally followed him back.

Chen Yiyao, that pretty young girl, had wanted to stay and take care of Su Mo.

But after Madam Qian glared at her, she could only pout and return home reluctantly.

Before leaving, she kept looking back, reluctant to part, and even specifically ran to the back hall to tell Sister Qin to take good care of Su Mo.

Su Mo, pretending to be drunk, didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

This little girl was actually quite pretty.

Her looks resembled her mother; seeing Madam Qian in her early thirties and still possessing a graceful beauty, it was clear she wouldn't be lacking in that regard.

Even though she hadn't fully blossomed, she already had the makings of a beauty.

Her delicate willow brows, oval face, cherry lips, and a pointed chin perfectly fit modern aesthetics.

Her personality was a bit flighty, but it could also be described as lively and spirited.

Unfortunately, cousin, they were destined to be apart.

If they weren't blood relatives, once she grew up and matured, Su Mo wouldn't mind marrying her.

He had transmigrated to an ancient era where polygamy was permitted.

As a man, he wouldn't spout hypocritical platitudes about being faithful.

Su Mo would definitely be willing to take multiple wives and concubines.

Otherwise, wouldn't his transmigration be in vain?

Everyone left one after another.

Chen Bao, the illegal salt dealer, lingered until the very end.

Seeing him still there after everyone else had left, Su Mo finally couldn't hold back.

As a former shut-in, Su Mo wasn't good at socializing. He simply pretended to be drunk, expecting guests to be perceptive and leave after eating and drinking their fill.

But it turned out Chen Bao was the most oblivious one!

Chen Gan had already left, yet he was still here!

The seven or eight percent alcohol content wine, like beer, indeed made it hard to get Su Mo drunk.

However, his memory had a fixed capacity!

Su Mo had no choice but to open his eyes, casually greet Chen Bao, and then hurry towards the back hall to find a place to clear his memory!

As soon as he turned past the small door of the front hall, he bumped right into someone.

Su Mo instinctively pushed out his hand and felt like he was playing basketball.

The next second, with a bang, his nose took a solid punch!

At the same time, he heard a sharp cry: "Pervert!"

What the heck!

Su Mo rubbed his stinging nose.

He looked at the tall, beautiful woman who had suddenly appeared, completely bewildered.

Had he really gotten drunk?

How could he not know such a beautiful female guest had come to his home?

This was completely illogical!

Could she be a female thief trying to steal valuables?

Also, is it impressive that you can play basketball! Don't you know charging with the ball is a foul!

Chen Bao heard the commotion and quickly went to check.

Su Mo stared at his daughter, dumbfounded.

His daughter glared at Su Mo, a mix of shame and anger on her face!

Chen Bao was a little surprised. "Why did you come out?"

"Su Ya, this is my youngest daughter, Qianyu. She came back with Uncle Chen to escort your wife and the others, so she came along."

Seeing Su Mo's nose bleeding, he quickly asked again, "Su Ya, are you alright?"

Su Mo thought to himself, So that's how it is.

But Chen Bao's daughter is quite attractive.

She looks like a heroic female warrior, and her fists are pretty strong too.

But the situation was urgent, his memory was about to overflow, and he didn't have time to say more. He wiped his nosebleed, left a "Make yourselves at home," and quickly slipped away.

After a short while.

Su Mo returned to the main hall.

He saw the heroic girl, head hung low, stubbornness in her eyes, clearly having been lectured by Chen Bao but not convinced.

Su Mo was a bit confused. "Uncle Chen, what's wrong?"

Chen Bao snorted. "This darn girl!"

"I asked her to apologize to you, but she refused no matter what. It's infuriating!"

They had agreed before coming.

She was told not to offend Su Mo, and she promised.

But at the start, she punched Su Mo, making his nose bleed. How could Chen Bao not be angry!

Su Mo looked at Chen Qianyu, who was at least 1.75 meters tall, only slightly shorter than the long-legged Captain Lin.

He felt a sense of awe.

People in this world were generally not tall due to malnutrition and insufficient food.

Let alone women.

Few men exceeded 1.7 meters. Chen Gan, for example, was barely under 1.6 meters.

Su Mo, at 1.8 meters, could already be described as standing out from the crowd, exceptional.

He didn't expect to encounter two beautiful women over 1.75 meters tall in a row!

Not only were they tall, with big eyes, small, delicate noses, and excellent looks.

But their chests were also so well-developed, which was truly excessive.

Earlier, Su Mo almost thought he was playing basketball.

He had taken advantage of her, and now he expected her to apologize? Su Mo, no matter how thick-skinned, couldn't do that.

He smiled and said, "It was all my fault!"

"I accidentally bumped into... Miss Chen, I should be the one apologizing!"

As he spoke, Su Mo cupped his hands and bowed to Chen Qianyu. "My apologies, please don't take offense, young lady!"

Chen Qianyu looked up at Su Mo in astonishment.

He was actually apologizing to her?

He had bumped into her, but it was clearly an accident. She was also at fault, and she had punched him!

A man apologizing to a woman was a rare occurrence!

Especially since she had already witnessed Su Mo's astonishingly terrifying connections!

For such a man, holding power and having strong connections, to apologize to a woman was even rarer!

Su Mo didn't think much of it.

If you make a mistake, you should apologize.

This was the correct worldview cultivated over decades in his previous life.

Seeing Chen Qianyu staring at him in surprise, Su Mo felt a bit suspicious and couldn't help but touch his still faintly aching nose. "What's wrong?"

"Is your nose bleeding again?"

Chen Qianyu finally came back to her senses, her pretty face flushing slightly. She said softly, "Um... actually, I was also wrong."

"Are... is your nose okay?"

As a heroic girl, her values were relatively sound.

When Su Mo took the initiative to admit his mistake, she immediately felt embarrassed.

Su Mo smiled. "It's fine!"

"Men sometimes get injured; it's unavoidable. I'm tough; I'm fine!"

The heroic girl felt even more embarrassed, her pretty face flushed red, rendering her speechless.

Su Mo turned to look at Chen Bao, thought for a moment, and then said, "Uncle Chen, it's past the hour of the Dog, the city gates have long been closed."

"If you don't mind, I'll go tidy up a side room. Uncle Chen, you two can rest here for the night?"

Although Su Residence wasn't large, it was a two-courtyard home, with a front yard, main hall, middle courtyard, back hall, and side rooms.

Guest rooms were naturally available.

It was just that no one had stayed in them for a while, and they were in need of tidying.

Chen Bao quickly said, "I wouldn't dare trouble Master Su!"

"We'll just find an inn to stay at!"

As he spoke, he gave Chen Qianyu a look.

If he had come alone, Chen Bao certainly wouldn't have refused, but with his daughter here now, it was out of the question.

For an unmarried daughter to stay in a single man's home would surely lead to gossip if word got out!

Chen Qianyu saw her father's look and remembered the important purpose of their visit. She quickly handed the brocade box she had been holding to Su Mo.

Her face was still a little flushed as she softly said, "Master Su... Young Master Su, this is a congratulatory gift from my father."

Su Mo chuckled, "You're here, why bring a gift!"

"Uncle Chen isn't an outsider!"

Chen Bao's expression turned serious, "You can't say that!"

"Although I, Uncle Chen, am uncultured, I know etiquette."

He paused, then added, "Besides, this item is useless to me, Uncle Chen. Once it's in Master Su's hands, it might be of great use!"

Su Mo was stunned. He looked at the brocade box, "What's inside the box?"

Chen Bao said word by word, "An Immortal Cultivation Method!"

As soon as he said this.

Su Mo's expression changed drastically!
