Chapter 48: Narrow Road of Enemies

  The place is shrouded in a thick white mist, with steam rising and spreading everywhere.

  Distant mountains and blue seas, vast and endless, beautiful and magnificent, like a fairyland.

  It can be said that one's life is divided into two halves: one half as an immortal and the other half as a mortal. As the saying goes, becoming an immortal is not difficult, but cultivating to become an immortal is extremely hard.

  At some point, all the cultivation resources in the world were occupied by the sects. If a person wants to cultivate, they absolutely cannot leave the sect, and individual cultivators have no chance of having any advantages. Therefore, becoming a Jianghu disciple and entering a sect is the top priority, followed by increasing one's strength and getting recommended by the sect, then entering the hidden gate, and even from the hidden gate entering an even higher level of cultivation realm.

  In short, cultivating immortality must involve choosing a sect, even if it's just a small one; otherwise, everything is just empty talk.

  At first, Su Mo was just a disciple of the Mumen Sect and naturally already had this condition.

  Who would have thought that, unbeknownst to her, Su Mo had already possessed several independent identities.

  One is a Mo Men disciple, one is an alchemy master, one is a demon girl, and the fourth is Su Shi, the youngest son of a wealthy merchant family.

  However, Su Mo never thought that from now on, his cultivation identity in the sect would be the most low-key and inconspicuous. The three identities behind him were astonishing to the world, making it difficult for people to look up to him.

  Of course, this is for later.

  Su Mo, as a disciple of Momen, was sitting on the rock at this time with an air of ease.

  She puckered up her enchanting red lips, beautiful and unmatched, her eyes gazing at the surrounding scenery with a hint of charm.

  Suddenly, a young man's voice came from the front of his chest, "Woman, this Mo Gate is just an ordinary gate, but there are so many rules and regulations. Every other day, you are called here to be lectured, which really wastes time. Why don't you go to Qingyun Sect instead?"

  Su Mo smiled faintly and said with half-closed dark eyes: "You don't understand this point, the trouble of Dà Mén Pài is even more."

  "Hmph, I don't understand these things. As a noble, our cultivation doesn't have so many troubles."

  "So the young masters of noble families often don't amount to anything." Su Mo said with a sarcastic tone and expression.

  A "black cat" quickly emerged from her chest and said proudly: "Woman, you actually look down on the nobility?"

  Su Mo smiled lightly at the edge of his lips, "The flowers in the greenhouse can never withstand the wind and sand. People like me know that a thousand-mile journey begins with a single step, everything must be done step by step, just like climbing a mountain or building a pavilion. If I went to Qingyun Sect, currently my actual strength would only make them value my alchemy skills, if it's for the sake of human relationships and worldly affairs, in the end I can only become a tool for the sect's alchemy, without even having time for my own cultivation."

  The young man immediately fell silent when he heard her words. He knew that although the alchemist was admired by people, they were all arrogant and careless in nature.

  Only cultivators without any innate talent in artifact refinement would humble themselves and enter a sect to become an artifact refiner.

  In order to lay out a smooth road for other talented members of the family to cultivate immortality.

  Can't help but say, Xia family is indeed such a refining artifact family.

  "Alright, it's not good for you to suddenly appear like this." Suddenly, Su Mo stretched out her hand and grabbed the black cat that the young man had transformed into, pointing at its forehead with her finger in a rather impolite manner. She transmitted her voice through her divine sense, saying: "In the future, you can come out as you please, but remember not to speak, otherwise, if people see a black cat speaking human language, it will only bring trouble for me."

  The young man flipped a noble white eye, stretched out his paw and patted it, "Stop, this young master is not some black cat."

  Su Mo raised his neck and shook it, "Whatever you look like now, I will naturally treat you as such."

  And then, suddenly, a clear and sweet voice of a young girl came from not far away, "What a beautiful black cat! Brother, is this your pet?"

  Su Mo turned around, seeing a lovely girl with sparkling eyes coming to her side, involuntarily reaching out to touch the lynx in Su Mo's hands, and smiling innocently: "This cat is really cute, by the way, my name is Ye Shuangshuang, I'm the eldest daughter of the Ye family, can brother let me play with the cat for a bit?"

  Su Mo knew that the young man was cold and proud, so he lifted the cat's neck, "Don't move, this cat can hurt people."

  The girl couldn't help but curl her lip, at which point a young man walked over and said, "Kid, I'm Ye Zheng."

  Su Mo raised his eyes and said calmly: "What's the matter, Ye brother?"

  "I am Ye Shuangshuang's older brother."

  "What can I learn from you?"

  He suddenly took a few steps closer and said in a low voice, "Kid, don't think that carrying a cat around will attract girls. This trick is really unreliable."

  Su Mo smiled faintly and said, "It seems that you have misunderstood."

  The young man furrowed his brow again, naturally thinking that Su Mo was a man. He looked charming and captivating, with a handsome and alluring appearance, which made him uneasy. Such a beautiful young man must be up to no good. Then some other boys who were following Ye Zhen also came over, surrounding Ye Shuangshuang's side, protecting her tightly, without any gaps, as if letting anyone glance at her was a sin.

  Su Mo's lips seemed to smile but didn't quite smile, and she immediately changed to a quiet place, without any intention of meeting the two siblings again.

  "Hmph, this group of ignorant people, I'm not a cat." The young man couldn't help but stick his head out again.

  "Stop messing around." Su Mo turned his back to the crowd, shook the body of the Qilin, which kicked its hind legs wildly before being forcibly stuffed into the Heavenly Book.

  " Woman, you should be gentler with me. No woman has ever treated me like this before. My status and position are very noble, not to be trifled with by a woman like you. Remember that."

  "Alright, be honest." Su Mo's finger tapped lightly on the Heavenly Book, as a warning.

  On the other hand, Ye Shuangshuang had long lost interest in playing with things and was completely immersed in the latest topic of conversation among the crowd. She exclaimed: "What did Big Brother say? The Mo family actually returned to Yan State together with the Jin Yu Tang's ships this time, which is really great."

  Another young man said: "Yes! Along the way, we can take a look at Jin Yutang's classic curtain, and later we will have the qualifications to brag about it."

  Ye Shuangshuang laughed with a carefree smile, clapping her hands and saying: "It's great, really great! Every time I have a hard time buying tickets for the front row seats, but this time I can finally see those famous courtesans and peerless beauties up close."

  "But I heard that Dinger has been replaced and this time a new demon queen will take over." Someone suddenly said in a mysterious tone.

  "What a pity! DIng is the most beautiful and suitable candidate for the role of the demon queen, if it were someone else, I wouldn't want to watch it."

  "In other words, apart from Ding's performance, I don't want to watch any of the other actresses' portrayals of the demon queen."

  "I really don't know what's going on with Jin Yutang? He actually quit working for the Ding family?"

  However, I also heard that after Dīng Dàjiā was dismissed by Jīn Yú Táng, he went to Bǎi Huā Táng and plagiarized Jīn Yú Táng's ideas with a group of performers. They deliberately competed with Jīn Yú Táng, wherever Jīn Yú Táng performed, Bǎi Huā Táng would also perform. Many of Dīng Dàjiā's loyal old fans followed him to the new troupe, and it's said that their performances were not inferior.

  "This time many nobles are prepared to make a scene and suppress that new demoness, it's quite interesting."

  "Ding Dajia is definitely full of confidence, but the new demon queen's situation is worrying."

  Su Mo listened to the crowd's words, his lips curled up with a charming arc, and he didn't expect that Jin Yu Tang would return to Yan Guo with Mo Men this time. He also didn't expect that Bai Hua Tang had such an interesting competition.

  Unfortunately, it turned out that she was the wrong target, as she had never been afraid of such despicable tactics.

  Secondly: She saw that Yu Ran was absolutely not a person who would sit idly by, so Jin Yu Tang must have already come up with a countermeasure.

  San Lai: Su's family's organ boat is by no means an ordinary stage that anyone can imitate.

  Thinking of this, Su Mo slowly hooked up the corners of his mouth, and his eyes flickered with an unfathomable and enchanting deep meaning, but he still didn't think it was right in his heart.

  At this moment, a woman in a red dress with a slender waist and lotus-like steps walked over from a distance. When Su Mo saw the beautiful woman walking towards him with a smile, he couldn't help but smile even more, indeed, isn't it true that you can meet anyone anywhere in life?

  When she saw Su Mo clearly, the woman in red couldn't help but take a cold breath.

  Suddenly, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Little one, it's actually you!"

  Su Mo's elegant and charming eyes looked at her, "Miss Xia, you're doing well?"

  The disciples around him hastily asked in a flattering tone, "Does Shiyu recognize him?"

  Xia Yuer hummed in anger, her face sinking like water. "Recognize him? Of course I recognize him. Even if he turned to ashes, I'd still recognize him."

  The sentence was quite provocative, like a spark falling into the oil pan, and everyone immediately looked at the two of them, wondering what had happened. The crowd was in an uproar, pointing and discussing. Summer Jade's eyes were burning with anger, gritting her teeth and saying fiercely: "Very good, very good, I didn't know you were a new inner disciple. Just wait, for every single coin you've wronged me, I'll make you pay back double."

  Su Mo's lips curled up with a hint of charm, and his tone carried a faint mockery, "I hope Miss Xia still has some spare silver in her hands."

  Miss Xia's face turned even darker, a cold glint flashed in her eyes as she stared coldly at Su Mo, "Don't be smug, the Xia family's silver will not be lost without a fight."

  Su Mo smiled faintly, gazing at her for just a moment with an air of carefree amusement playing on his lips.

  Miss Xia stamped her foot, and her eyes took on a determined look.

  And at this stalemate, the place had already gathered countless inner disciples of the sect, densely packed with more than 200 people. From the outside, three elder inner door members of the Mo Sect walked in, followed by several young men in white clothes.

  One of the men stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes cold and clear, his black pupils like ice and snow, always expressionless and icy.

  A woman couldn't help but nudge Xia Yu'er, "Sister Xia, look, that's Master Wen Renyi."

  Xia Yu'er was originally on guard, but after seeing Wen Renyi, her red lips pursed, and her face immediately flushed with emotion.

  "So he's the famous Master Wenren? The Ice Mountain Sect Uncle from Kunlun Mountains." Xia Yuer gazed at his face, her eyes becoming soft and gentle like water, her cheeks growing redder by the second. She couldn't help but think of her two older male cousins, Xia Feng and Xia Ze, who were both famous handsome men in the Jianghu world, but compared to Wenren Yi, they didn't amount to much, it was simply a difference between clouds and mud.

  Su Mo's eyebrows were slightly raised, and she glanced at the two of them with a hint of mockery in her eyes. She couldn't help but find it amusing, wondering what kind of expression the young lady from the Xia family would have if she knew that the wound on her chest was actually inflicted by the ice fox.

  But all he saw was the man's handsome face shrouded in a misty shadow, with strands of hair on his forehead gently brushing against his cheek, his eyebrows and eyes like a painting, his gaze clear and calm, his eyes fixed intently on Su Mo, his expression making her ponder, until Su Mo lowered her eyelids, when she suddenly heard Wen Renyi's voice transmitted through the air, "Su Mo, I have something to discuss with you."

  Her vermilion lips and pearly teeth were smiling brightly, and she replied with a hint of mystery: "When?"

  "Tonight." Wen Renyi said.

  "Alright!" Su Mo's eyes sparkled as he immediately agreed.

  It was night, when she returned to the boat, she saw a delicate box placed on the table in front of her cabin, and couldn't help but pause for a moment.

  It wasn't until a while later that she finally understood what it was. She muttered to herself: "This is actually the dance costume sent by Yu Ran Gongzi."

  However, when Su Mo opened it and took a look, his face couldn't help but sink.
