Strongest Abandoned Son

Seeing that Lu Wuhu didn’t help Ye Mo say anything, Yan Guan breathed easy. He was scared that Lu Wuhu would be domineering and forcefully take away Luo Susu. In order to preserve their face, they could only fight with Lu Wuhu. Even if they won, the result wouldn’t be what Yan Guan wanted. They would also be offending Pill City in the process. After elder Fan brought up the tournament, Ye Mo didn’t let Lu Wuhu forcefully attack and Lu Wuhu didn’t stand up himself. This made Yan Guan breathe easy and guess the relationship between the two. If their relationship was really as Ye Mo said, then Lu Wuhu should’ve said something Yan Guan saw this detail and so did people from other sects. They were all ancient beings. Ye Mo was so dominant before, but when elder Fan brought up the competition to decide Luo Susu’s husband, Ye Mo didn’t rebuke her. The only explanation was that Ye Mo didn’t have enough power to back him up or Ye Mo was too impulsive and was tricked by elder Fan. Ye Mo agreed because he didn’t like Wen Caiyi trying to challenge Susu before, saying that Susu wasn’t as good as her. So he was going to make Wen Caiyi open her eyes and see how much better Susu’s husband was than the man she was going to choose. But it was indeed also because he didn’t have the power to say no. Pill City was powerful but it was only a threat. If he tried to forcefully take away Beiwei and Susu and forced these 9-star sects into a corner, then a fight would break out. As long as someone held Lu Wuhu down, he would be instantly killed. After he died, what could the Pill City do? Ye Mo knew that if he continued to be dominant he would anger 9-star sects for sure. He Ling already attacked him and he would’ve died if it wasn’t for Lu Wuhu. At the same time, Ye Mo felt he miscalculated. He should’ve invited Yue Qichao. Then, no one would dare to say anything if he tried to take away Susu and Beiwei. It all came down to power, his power was low and his connections weren’t enough. He was only a level seven pill king, he didn’t have Yue Qichao and Shen Guanqing’s power and connections. If they were here, perhaps with a single word 9-star sects would help them. Since the competition was necessary, Ye Mo thought of it as getting back at Wen Caiyi for Susu. But he wasn’t an idiot, since he agreed to the competition, he couldn’t keep giving them that much proposal gift. Ye Mo got up and said again, “Sect leader Yan, since you choose the competition, then I will take back my proposal gift. I don’t believe every sect who participates in the competition will give as much I as gave. Since sect leader Yan agreed to the competition, then it means you’re giving up my proposal gift. Everyone needs to be equal. I don’t think that just because the Black Ice Sect thinks the Pill City is wealthy, I have to pay more in terms of a proposal gift to join the participants. Of course, I don’t mind giving more for my proposal gift but I don’t believe the Black Ice Sect would take my proposal gift and still make me fight for Susu.” “….” Hearing this, Yan Guan was dazed. The reason he agreed to this competition was because regardless of whether Ye Mo won or lost, the proposal gift would be theirs. He had already calculated this. He didn’t want to offend Infinity Sect, so let Pill City offend them. If Ye Mo won, then no problem and that was the most satisfying result. But if Ye Mo lost to an ordinary 7-star or 8-star sect, Ye Mo know that those sects won’t dare to fight over Susu with Ye Mo, so Susu would eventually be taken away by Ye Mo. If Ye Mo lost to a 9-star sect or even Infinity Sect or Lightning Cloud Sect, with how important Susu was to Ye Mo, he would bargain heavily over her. No 9-star sect could compete with Pill City, so Susu would eventually be taken away by Ye Mo and he would still get the proposal gift. But now, Ye Mo said the proposal gift was no more, how could that be? But he just agreed to this and now he couldn’t regret. He turned around and glared at Fan Lianzhu coldly. If she just agreed to let Ye Mo take away Susu, there wouldn’t be so much trouble. Although they would offend Infinity Sect, but they would connect with Pill City’s level seven pill king. Fan Lianzhu calmed down now and knew what she didn’t wasn’t good. She had never thought of marrying Susu out. If Ye Mo didn’t come, then she wouldn’t even marry her to Infinity Sect. She rejected core sect members’ proposals already. She agreed to Yang Feicheng because firstly, Ye Mo gave her a bad impression, and secondly since she knew Susu would be taken by Ye Mo eventually, as even the Black Ice Sect couldn’t fight with Pill City. So in her anger, she agreed with Yang Feicheng. As for agreeing to the competition, it was completely because she was furious Ye Mo said she was bullshitting. She calmed down now and knew what she did didn’t benefit the sect at all, but she had already done it. … In a room at the Black Cloud Peak, Tang Beiwei looked at Luo Ying in confusion. “Sister Susu, you’re already golden core state peak stage, why did you suddenly come out of solitary cultivation?” A pale yellow dressed woman sat opposite Tang Beiwei. Luo Ying frowned. “I feel restless. It’s as though something is about to happen, so I came out.” Tang Beiwei heard this and said, “Sister Susu, how about I ask master and we’ll go visit Qingxue?” Luo Ying knew Tang Beiwei wanted her to go out and have some fresh air. She smiled sweetly and replied, “I’m fine but we should indeed visit her as well as Luo Fei and Yun Ziyi.” Tang Beiwei just wanted to speak when her spirit sense scanned a pink dressed lady rushing in. “Sister Susu, martial sister Rong is here.” “Martial sister Rong.” Luo Ying and Tang Beiwei got up. Zhao Rong looked at Susu and said desperately, “Martial sister Susu, you finished solitary cultivation?” “Yeah martial sister Rong. What happened? Why do you seem very desperate?” Luo Ying asked. “Almost all the sects 7-star and above came to Black Ice Peak. I heard it’s for Wen Caiyi choosing a husband. But then the news I got wasn’t this, I heard the sect leader and elder Fan are also using this chance to choose a husband for Susu. What do we do?” Zhao Rong was worried. She didn’t know who Susu’s husband was, but she knew she had a husband. “Impossible!” Susu exclaimed with a pale face. Her master was very nice to her, she would never agree to this. This sort of thing had happened more than once and master rejected without hesitation. “Sister Susu…” Tang Beiwei grabbed Luo Ying’s hand worriedly. “I’ll go see master,” Luo Ying said adamantly. Zhao Rong grabbed Luo Ying’s hand. “People at the Black Ice Hall are all powerful people, you won’t be able to get in. Today Infinity Sect’s sect leader brought a proposal gift and then Pill City vice city lord seemed to have a conflict and suddenly he wanted to take you away. So, the two started fighting and then the sect leader agreed to choose a husband through competition like Wen Caiyi.” “Pill City vice city lord is here too?” Tang Beiwei and Susu rarely went out so they didn’t kow Ye Mo was vice city lord. Zhao Rong nodded. “Yes, he’s the person Ning Qingxue is married too. He was the pill king tournament number one, Ning Qingxue was taken away by him on the spot and the Ethereal Immortal Pond didn’t dare to say anything. I think today might end up the same way.” Tang Beiwei and Luo Ying’s hands shook. “Now isn’t the time to worry, we need to think of a way…” Zhao Rong started. “Did Ning Qingxue really get taken away by that city lord? Ning Qingxue didn’t resist?” Luo Ying’s tone grew impetuous. Zhao Rong nodded, “Yes, she seemed very intimate with that city lord Ye, she was willing. How could she resist?” “City lord Ye?” Tang Beiwei and Luo Ying asked at the same time. Zhao Rong nodded. “Yes, he’s Ye Mo. He’s not only pill king tournament number one but the honorary vice city lord of Pill City as well. He came to Black Ice Peak today to fight over martial sister Susu with Infinity Sect… Susu, Beiwei, where are you going?” Zhao Rong hadn’t finished but Susu and Beiwei had already charged out towards Black Cloud Peak.
