Su Mo fell silent for a moment. After arranging his words in his mind, he slowly began to speak.
"Qingxuan, do you know why I cultivate so diligently? Why I came to Central Continent?"
A grave look covered Su Mo's face. Without waiting for Hong Qingxuan to speak, he continued, "It is all for one person—a woman I care deeply about!"
The moment Su Mo's words fell, Hong Qingxuan froze, her expression stiffening.
"This woman is like you—beautiful and pure. We met in our youth, but for other reasons, we were unable to be together. I came to Central Continent to find her."
Su Mo seemed to have fallen into his memories, a wistful look appearing on his face.
Hong Qingxuan listened quietly, her pearly teeth biting hard into her red lips as a sour ache rose in her heart.
So Su Mo had long since had someone in his heart! No wonder he had never shown anything toward her!
"Is it Di Lanxi?"
Hong Qingxuan spoke up. She had also heard the rumors outside: on the wedding day of Emperor Xuan Palace Holy Son Shangguan Hao and Holy Maiden Di Lanxi, someone named Su Mo would challenge Shangguan Hao.
Previously, she had not paid attention to the rumor. But thinking of it now, she immediately realized that the Su Mo from the rumor was her Brother Su Mo.
Su Mo was stunned upon hearing this, then nodded. He had not expected Hong Qingxuan to have guessed it.
After that, neither of them spoke. The atmosphere became incomparably heavy.
Hong Qingxuan stared intently at Su Mo, her beautiful eyes slightly reddened. Had he never liked her at all?
Although Su Mo having someone in his heart made Hong Qingxuan feel somewhat miserable, it was not something she could not accept.
