Hearing Shangguan Hao's words, Xi’er's pretty face turned cold.

“You ... I won't allow you to say that about Brother Su Mo.”

Xi’er's eyes flashed with anger. He did not like anyone insulting Su Mo.

Shangguan Hao raised his eyebrows. He did not expect Xi’er to care so much about these natives.

“Miss, the Palace Chief has ordered us to take you back to the palace. We'll take you away no matter what.”

The 13th elder said. The Palace Master had ordered him to take back Xi’er even if he was unwilling.

“So's sister Mo!”

Xi’er looked at Su Mo nervously.

“Xier, don't worry!”

Su Mo clapped his hands and said, “Nobody can take you away as long as I'm here.”

Su Mo was glad Xi’er could find his parents. He would not stop her if she wanted to return to her family, but he would not let her be taken away because she did not want to.

“You here? How dare a lowly ant like you talk big! “

Shangguan Hao shouted coldly. Suddenly, he stomped his feet, and a burst of air came out and struck Su Mo.

“Engah!”

Su Mo spewed out a mouthful of blood and fell violently onto the ground.

“So's sister Mo!” Xi’er was startled and rushed to help him stand up.

“Mo’er!”

Su Hong was furious. He looked at Shangguan Hao and shouted, “What do you mean?”

“You are not qualified to talk to me!”

Shangguan Hao waved his sleeve without looking towards Su Hong. Su Hong suddenly felt a huge force hit his body. His body trembled violently and he retreated a few steps with traces of blood at the corner of his mouth.

“What?”

Su Hong was horrified, and his heart was in turmoil.

“How can he be so strong?”

“This young man is only 16 or 17 years old, but he just waved his hand and injured him.”

Shangguan Hao was extremely arrogant and arrogant. In his eyes, Su Hong and the others were just hicks who were not even qualified to talk to him.

Su Mo clenched his fists tightly as anger surged in his heart. How could this man be so arrogant and presumptuous?

However, he was not impulsive enough to go up and fight risking his life. The difference in strength was too great, and he would not be able to gain anything by going up.

Moreover, there was a stronger elder next to him.

“Alright, Saint, don't waste any more time. Asgard's Master is still waiting for us to return!”

The 13th elder said to Shangguan Hao. Then he looked at Xi’er and said, “Nona, forgive me. Let's go back to Emperor Xuan's Palace.”

The Thirteenth Elder waved his hand and a gust of wind carried Xi’er to his side.

“Xier!” Su Mo was surprised. Just as he was about to step forward, a terrifying pressure came towards him, causing his body to tremble. It was as if there was a mountain pressing down on him and he could not move in the slightest.

“Let me go, let me go!”

Shouted Xi’er furiously, but he could not break free no matter how hard he tried.

“Nona, what exactly do you want?”

The Thirteenth Elder asked with a sullen face. If not for the fact that she was the daughter of the Palace Master, she would not have cared about him and would have taken him away long ago.

“I don't want to go with you. I want to be with Brother Su Mo.”

shouted Xi’er.

The 13th elder frowned, looked at Su Mo, shook his head, and said, “You will never be together.”

“Why?”

ask Xi’er.

“Because you will be from two different worlds!”

The 13th elder said indifferently, “He is just an ordinary human, like a goldfish in a lake. He could only live in a small lake forever and would never be able to see the vast world outside. Miss, when you return to the Emperor Xuan Palace, you will become a bird that flies in the sky, spreading your wings and flying further and further away. Do you understand?”

The farthest distance in the world is between a bird and a fish.

Xi’er was dumbfounded, but then he shook his head firmly and said, “I don't need to understand. I just want to be with Brother Su Mo.”

Su Mo's heart trembled upon hearing this. She did not expect Xi’er to have such deep feelings for her.

The face of the 13th Elder turned cold and he said, “Nona, let me give you some advice. You better forget him! If the Palace Master knew of this, not only he, but also his family would be annihilated. “

Xi’er.

Su Mo's expression changed. After a while, he suddenly said to Xi’er, “Xi’er, go with them!”

“So's sister Mo!” Xi’er was startled and looked at Su Mo in bewilderment.

“Xier, he's right. You can only cultivate martial arts better if you return with them. I will go to the Middle Continent to find you later.”

Su Mo had thought about it. It wasn't a bad thing for Xi’er to be back with them. Instead, it might hinder Xi’er's martial arts cultivation.

Most importantly, Su Mo knew that the two of them would definitely take Xi’er away today, and he could not stop them no matter what.

It was all because he was too weak.

Su Mo clenched his fists tightly. At this moment, he had an incomparable desire for strength.

Xi’er's eyes were red, but she remained silent.

“Semut, stop dreaming. You will never go to the Middle Continent in this life, and you will never see Young Sister again.”

Shangguan Hao smiled contemptuously and his words were full of sarcasm.

Su Mo's eyes were cold. He looked at the brocade-clad young man in front of him with soaring killing intent.

“It's none of your business whether I can go to Central Continent or see Xi’er again.”

Su Mo said coldly.

“You are chasing death! How dare a lowly ant talk to me like this? Do you know who I am? “

Shangguan Hao's eyes were filled with killing intent and he shouted coldly.

“What identity? Aren't you from Emperor Xuan's Palace? “

said Su Mo.

“Ha ha! Do you know what the Palace of Emperor Xuan represents? “

Shangguan Hao sneered and said proudly, “Let me tell you what the Palace of Emperor Xuan represents. It represented an unimaginable power! It represents a peak that you cannot reach in your life. It can determine the life and death of hundreds of millions of people with a single thought. “

“Now, you know the distance between you and us! Lowly ants! “

Shangguan Hao raised his head high and looked at Su Mo with disdain.

Su Mo furrowed his brows. The humiliation of his opponent made him angry. He said coldly, “You called me a nobody, then I asked you, as strong as you are now, what realm have you reached?”

“Ha ha!”

Shangguan Hao smiled proudly and said, “My current cultivation is a world that you will be looking at for the rest of your life.”

“Nature I'll be looking for for the rest of my life?”

Su Mo shook his head in disdain and said, “Because you are so confident, I want to see how you will make me admire you for the rest of my life. I just need 10 years, no, five years . I will definitely surpass you in five years. After five years, I will challenge you.”

Su Mo's words suddenly silenced the crowd and they all looked at him in disbelief.

Even Su Hong was shocked by the words of his son.

“What? You'll challenge me in five years? “

Shangguan Hao was stunned and then he shook his head speechlessly and said, “It seems you still have not recognized the gap between you and me. It is sad that you are a frog at the bottom of a well!”

Shangguan Hao then said, “I accept your challenge and I will wait for you anytime! By the way, my name is — Shangguan Hao! “

Shangguan Hao had just said it casually and his eyes were full of ridicule. He didn't take it seriously at all.

Could it be that a lowly ant outperformed him in five years?

The answer is definitely no.

Su Mo ignored him and turned to look at the gray-robed elder. He said, “Elder, you just said that Xi ‘er will be a bird in the sky and I will be a goldfish in the lake. That's a nice metaphor and very precise.”

Su Mo's words shocked the crowd and they all thought Su Mo had figured it out.

The 13th elder slightly raised his eyebrows and was a little confused. “Did this guy suddenly know it?”

At this moment, Su Mo suddenly changed the subject and said, “However, what I want to tell you is that even a goldfish can jump over the dragon gate and become a dragon. Are you sure that I, Su Mo, will become mediocre? for the rest of my life?”

Su Mo's voice was loud and strong. The lofty ambition of a young man seemed to have materialized and soared high into space.

A goldfish jumping over a dragon gate?

A golden goldfish turned into a dragon and soared into the sky?

Su Mo's fiery words shocked the 13th elder. He then shook his head and sized up Su Mo again. He said expressionlessly, “Son, you are too naive! A goldfish jumping over a dragon gate? A golden goldfish turned into a dragon and soared into the sky? It was just a weak imagination! “

The 13th elder felt a little funny. “This young man is ambitious, but not realistic!”

“I will do it. We see in five years.”

Su Mo said firmly.

The 13th elder smiled and did not take it seriously. He said to Shangguan Hao, “Holy Son, let's go!”

“OK!”

Shangguan Hao nodded and looked at Su Mo. He sneered and said, “Semut will always be an ant. He would never be able to go against the natural order!”

After saying that, the two of them carried Xi’er and flew into the sky.

“So Mo's sister, I like you!”

Xi’er suddenly said loudly with tears in her beautiful eyes.

Su Mo's heart trembled. This was the first time Xi’er had expressed her feelings.

“Xier, remember to wait for me!”
