Young City Lord

"Xi'er, are you hungry?"

Walking down the streets of Linyang City with the young woman, Su Mo turned his head to ask her, "Shall I take you to taste the delicacies of Rongxuan Pavilion? Many of Rongxuan Pavilion's specialty dishes are made from the meat of demonic beasts. Eating them will be very beneficial for your cultivation!"

"Mhm! I'll do whatever Brother Su Mo decides."

Xi'er nodded, feeling a bit touched. Su Mo was very good to her. Through their interactions over these past days, she had gradually come to understand Su Mo's character.

He was gentle, easygoing, unpretentious, and sincere in his dealings with people.

She couldn't help but sigh, realizing her decision back then was the right one.

Rongxuan Restaurant was the best restaurant in Linyang City.

The restaurant was five stories high, its interior was extremely luxurious, and customers were endless. It was the preferred dining and entertaining spot for many Martial Artists with substantial financial backing.

Su Mo, holding Gu Lanxi's hand, arrived at the entrance of Rongxuan Restaurant.

"Brother Su Mo, isn't it very expensive to eat a meal at this restaurant?"

Looking at the luxurious restaurant before them, Xi'er couldn't help but ask. She came from a poor background and naturally felt a little intimidated by such a high-class place.

"Heh heh! Xi'er, we're rich now, we're not short of this little bit of money!"

Su Mo chuckled. The young woman immediately fell silent. Just moments ago, she had seen Su Mo spend over ten thousand taels of gold in the blink of an eye.

As the two entered Rongxuan Restaurant, they immediately drew the attention of many people in the restaurant. Of course, most of the gazes were focused on the young woman.

Their gazes were filled with admiration.

As for Su Mo, they felt a bit of jealousy, thinking to themselves: The Su family's useless Young Master actually has such a beauty following him?

"Su Mo, over here!"

Just then, a voice suddenly came from the restaurant's lobby.

"Hm?"

Su Mo turned his head and saw that it was Su Heng calling him.

At this moment, in the restaurant's lobby, at a table by the window, Su Heng and another young man were seated.

The young man was dressed in luxurious clothing and had a rather handsome appearance. He was currently staring intently in their direction.

To be precise, his gaze was fixed on Xi'er beside him.

Su Mo frowned as he looked at the two. He recognized this young man in luxurious clothing; he was the son of the City Lord of Linyang City—Lin Xiao.

He wondered why the two of them were eating together.

However, since Su Heng wasn't holding a grudge and had invited him, Su Mo wouldn't put on airs.

Su Mo, holding Xi'er's hand, walked over.

Lin Xiao caught sight of Su Mo holding Xi'er's hand, and a hint of imperceptible coldness flashed in his eyes.

"Should we sit here?"

Su Mo walked up to the two and asked Lin Xiao.

However, in response to Su Mo's question, neither Su Heng nor Lin Xiao answered. Lin Xiao, from beginning to end, didn't even look at Su Mo.

Lin Xiao stood up, looked at Xi'er, and said with a gentle smile, "Miss, I am Lin Xiao, the Young City Lord of Linyang City. Please, have a seat!"

Xi'er glanced at him and then turned to look at Su Mo.

If Su Mo didn't speak, she wouldn't accept anyone else's invitation.

Su Mo sneered inwardly, understanding the man's intentions. However, he still said to Xi'er, "Xi'er, let's sit here!"

After speaking, Su Mo was about to sit down.

"Useless trash, you have no right to sit here!"

Just then, Lin Xiao's expression darkened, and he reprimanded Su Mo unceremoniously.

"What do you mean?"

Su Mo narrowed his eyes and asked indifferently.

"Am I not making myself clear? You, a piece of trash with a Human Grade First Tier Martial Soul, have the right to sit with me?"

Lin Xiao glanced at Su Mo sideways, thinking that this guy truly had no self-awareness.

Immediately, he turned to Xi'er, his face instantly changing to a kind smile, and said, "Miss, please sit. I'd like to invite you to try Rongxuan Pavilion's finest aged wine. I hope you'll grant me this favor."

Lin Xiao's face was full of sincerity as he once again extended an invitation to Xi'er.

Xi'er did not sit down. A hint of disgust flashed in her beautiful eyes, which were like autumn water. She was very displeased by how this person was insulting Su Mo.

"So, you two are playing me?"

Su Mo asked indifferently, not angered.

"So what if we are playing you?"

Su Heng's face was full of disdain, and he said proudly, "Su Mo, if you know what's good for you, quickly offer this beauty to the Young City Lord, or you'll regret it."

"Su Heng, you, a dignified disciple of the Su family, are actually willing to be someone's running dog?"

Su Mo's lips curled into a dismissive smile. "Wasn't the last lesson enough? Your skin's itching again?"

"You...!"

Su Heng was furious. He had been injured by Su Mo last time and had to rest for half a month before his injuries fully recovered.

Now, being brought up by Su Mo, it immediately reopened the wound in his heart. If he hadn't been wary of Su Mo's strength, he would have attacked on the spot.

"Su Mo, right? I'll say this one last time: leave her, and you, get out!"

Lin Xiao's smile vanished, and he rebuked them without mercy.

Get out?

Su Mo raised an eyebrow, then his lips curved into a cold smile. He extended his palm and gave a gentle flick.

Slap!

A crisp slapping sound echoed through the restaurant, exceptionally loud.

A clear handprint instantly appeared on Lin Xiao's face.

The surrounding crowd fell silent. Everyone was stunned by the scene. They clearly hadn't expected the Su family's trash Young Master to slap the Young City Lord!

"This guy is going to be in trouble. Even if he doesn't die, he'll lose a layer of skin today!"

The onlookers watched with great interest, already anticipating what would happen next.

Among them, Su Heng was the happiest. He harbored considerable resentment towards Su Mo and was naturally delighted to see him being taught a lesson by the Young City Lord.

"Haha! Su Mo, you're truly foolish!"

"The Young City Lord is at the Qi Refining Fifth Layer cultivation. He's not someone you can afford to provoke. You'll be miserable today!"

Su Heng's heart was filled with wild laughter.

Lin Xiao hadn't expected something like this to happen either. He was stunned by Su Mo's slap and stood there frozen.

After a moment, Lin Xiao finally came to his senses. He felt the stinging pain on his face and glanced at the gazes of the surrounding people.

The rage in his heart boiled furiously, almost consuming him.

He, Lin Xiao, was the Young City Lord of Linyang City, doted upon since childhood.

Who in all of Linyang City dared to hit him? Even his father, the City Lord of Linyang City, had never laid a finger on him.

And now, he had been slapped in public by a piece of trash.

"You... you slapped me?"

Lin Xiao's voice was low, his throat rumbling like a roaring beast. A venomous glare, like that of a viper, flickered in his eyes.

"Are you stupid? Don't you know if you've been hit?"

Su Mo remained unconcerned, as if he had done something trivial.

The surrounding people were speechless, looking at Su Mo with pity.

Is this guy an idiot?

His Martial Soul is a trash Martial Soul, and his brain is also addled!
