Luo Huan

"Young Master Su, welcome to our Purple Gold Pavilion."

Luo Huan smiled charmingly, exuding a seductive aura, her voice laced with a hint of allure.

Su Mo quickly regained his composure, cursing his lack of self-control for nearly being mesmerized.

However, this woman was truly a peak of humanity; even in his past life, Su Mo had rarely encountered a woman with such an aura.

"Young Master Su, please have a seat!"

Luo Huan raised her delicate eyebrows slightly, her opinion of Su Mo increasing.

She was very confident in her appearance. Which man outside, upon seeing her, wasn't mesmerized and acted like a lecher?

Yet, this boy, only fourteen or fifteen years old, had merely paused for a moment before recovering.

"Thank you, Pavilion Master."

Su Mo sat down, feeling a bit confused that she recognized him.

But then, considering his current notoriety, Su Mo understood.

"Heh heh! Young Master Su, don't be so formal. My surname is Luo, and I'm a few years older than you. You can call me Sister Luo."

Luo Huan maintained her captivating smile.

Uh!

Su Mo blinked, then nodded.

Luo Huan continued, "I heard Young Master Su wanted to purchase two hundred First Grade Fifth Tier Beast Souls. However, we only have one hundred and fifty available right now. For the remaining fifty, would Young Master Su be willing to accept beast souls of other tiers?"

"Then use First Grade Fourth Tier Beast Souls!"

Su Mo said. He didn't mind; although First Grade Fourth Tier Beast Souls were less effective, he could compensate with quantity.

"Mhm!" Luo Huan nodded, took out a gray cloth bag, and handed it to Su Mo.

"Here are one hundred and fifty First Grade Fifth Tier Beast Souls and eighty-five First Grade Fourth Tier Beast Souls. That will be ten thousand taels of gold. Additionally, this Storage Bag is a gift from me to Young Master Su."

Su Mo was taken aback by her generosity.

Storage Bags weren't cheap; even the lowest grade cost seven to eight hundred taels of gold.

"Heh heh! Then I thank you, Sister Luo!"

Su Mo didn't stand on ceremony and accepted the Storage Bag.

After purchasing the beast souls, Su Mo didn't linger and took his leave.

"Miss, I heard this young master of the Su family is just a good-for-nothing with a Human Grade First Tier Martial Soul. Why…?"

An old woman appeared silently in the hall, frowning as she asked.

"Granny Xu, this Su Mo isn't as simple as he appears. I can feel that his Blood Essence is very powerful, far exceeding that of martial artists at the same level."

While Su Mo was purchasing beast souls at the Purple Gold Pavilion, a meeting was underway in the Su family's assembly hall.

"Great Elder, you convened this meeting. What important matters do you wish to discuss?"

Su Hong sat at the head of the table and asked, glancing at the Great Elder.

"Patriarch, I heard from the Treasury Hall that you withdrew ten thousand taels of gold today. May I ask what you intend to use this money for?"

The Great Elder, Su Yue, a man in his forties with a somber expression, questioned Patriarch Su Hong as soon as the meeting began.

As the Great Elder of the Su family, Su Yue's strength and status in the family were second only to the Patriarch.

In the Su family, only the Great Elder dared to speak to Su Hong in such a manner.

"This ten thousand taels of gold is for Su Mo to purchase resources to aid his cultivation."

Su Hong did not conceal it and spoke frankly.

"What?" The Great Elder was stunned.

All the elders were stunned!

"Su Hong, are you insane?"

The Great Elder was the first to react, leaping to his feet and roaring, "Su Hong, you actually used ten thousand taels of gold to cultivate your useless son! As Patriarch, you only care about your own son. The Su family isn't just your and your son's family! How dare you use ten thousand taels of gold to cultivate your son? I strongly object!"

"That's right, Su Mo is currently a good-for-nothing and isn't worth spending such a large sum to cultivate!"

The Fourth Elder, Su Tai, quickly chimed in.

"Indeed, Patriarch, you are too selfish, only thinking of your own son!"

"Wasting ten thousand taels of gold to cultivate your useless son!"

"..."

Following that, the other elders spoke up one after another, all agreeing with the Great Elder.

"Are you finished speaking?"

Only when no one spoke further did Su Hong sweep his gaze over the elders. "I've already spent the ten thousand taels of gold. This matter is concluded. If there's nothing else, you may all be dismissed!"

"What? You spent it all already?"

Everyone was stunned.

The Great Elder's face turned ashen.

His son, Su Yu, had awakened a Human Grade Fifth Tier Martial Soul and was hailed as the Su family's number one genius. Even with a month's worth of cultivation resources plus his stipend, he only received a little over a thousand taels of gold.

Yet Su Mo, a good-for-nothing, casually received ten thousand taels of gold.

Having successfully purchased the Beast Soul, Su Mo was extremely excited and couldn't wait to return to the family.

He was eager to see how much his Martial Soul would improve after he devoured these Beast Souls.

"Hmm, it should be no problem to advance to Human Grade Sixth Tier!"

Su Mo thought to himself.

"Haha! Little girl, follow this young master, and I'll make you feel like you're floating on clouds every day."

"Get out of the way!"

"Damn it, you little bitch, don't be ungrateful. It's your good fortune that I fancy you."

Just then, a noisy commotion drifted over. Not far ahead, three youths were surrounding a girl in blue.

The girl in blue had a delicate and pretty face, fair and tender skin, and a graceful figure. She was very beautiful.

The three youths, led by one about sixteen or seventeen years old, had a somewhat sickly pale complexion. He was currently looking at the girl with a lecherous gaze.

The girl in blue looked fearful. However, surrounded by them, she couldn't escape at all.

"Heh heh! Little young master, where do you think you can run?"

The sickly youth let out a lewd laugh and reached out to grab the girl's hand.

Slap!

Just then, a hand suddenly shot out, directly shaking off his grasp.

"TMD, who's the blind idiot that dares to meddle in my business?"

The youth roared and then turned to look. Seeing who it was, he immediately laughed, "Yo, who do I think it is? It's the Su family's number one 'genius'!"

The youth's face was filled with mockery, deliberately emphasizing the word 'genius'.

Indeed, the person who arrived was Su Mo.

"Qingqing, come here!"

Su Mo gestured for the girl to stand behind him.

This girl in blue was also a disciple of the Su family, named Su Qingqing. Although Su Mo wasn't very familiar with her, he recognized her.

When a Su family disciple was bullied outside, Su Mo naturally wouldn't stand by and do nothing.

"Brother Su Mo!"

Seeing Su Mo, Su Qingqing acted as if she had seen a savior and quickly hid behind Su Mo.

"Harassing a civilian in broad daylight, only you, Wei Lin, could do something like this!"

Su Mo said with a cold smile to the sickly youth.

The sickly youth's name was Wei Lin, the second son of the Wei family patriarch.

This person was notorious in Linyang City. Relying on the Wei family's backing, he bullied the good and oppressed the weak, committing all sorts of evil deeds.

Countless women had been ruined by him.

"You, a piece of trash, dare to interfere in my business? You're simply tired of living."

Wei Lin said arrogantly.

"You call me trash?" Su Mo's expression darkened. He had become sensitive to the word 'trash' lately.

"That's right, a Human Grade First Tier Martial Soul. Aren't you trash?"

Wei Lin said disdainfully, "Now, I'll give you two choices. First, hand Su Qingqing over to me, kneel down, apologize, and call me grandpa three times. Then I'll let you off. Second, I'll break all your limbs and take Su Qingqing away."

Wei Lin was determined to have Su Qingqing today. He had long coveted her beauty and finally found an opportunity. How could he let it go?

Although Su Qingqing was a member of the Su family, she was merely an ordinary disciple. Her parents held no significant position in the Su family. Even if he forcibly abducted her, there wouldn't be much trouble.

"Kneel down and apologize? Call you grandpa three times?"

Killing intent flashed in Su Mo's eyes. Were all people from the Wei family like this? They loved having others kowtow to them so much. Wei Long was like that, and so was this Wei Lin!

"I'll give you three breaths of time to disappear from my sight. Otherwise, you'll face the consequences."

Su Mo's voice was cold. He didn't take these three people seriously at all.

Apart from Wei Lin, who had a cultivation of Qi Cultivation Fourth Level, his two followers were both at Qi Refining Third Layer.

"What?"

Wei Lin was taken aback, then said disdainfully, "Face the consequences? With just you, a piece of trash, daring to be arrogant in front of me?"

"You two, go up. Don't kill him, just break his limbs," Wei Lin ordered.

"Heh heh, don't worry, Young Master. Leave it to us!"

The two followers grinned sinisterly and charged towards Su Mo.
