"Long live Your Highness!"
Plop!
Everyone knelt down in unison.
Only Li Mo was left standing!
"Scoundrel, not kneeling in front of Your Highness. Which clan are you from?"
The servant scolded Li Mo.
Li Mo didn't even kneel in front of King Gong Xian, so how could he?
But in order not to expose himself, he played the fool.
Ignoring the servant who was trying to take advantage of his master's power, he cupped his hands towards Liu Ze, who was in midair.
"Your Highness, I am Skypond City's Cheng Tian. Your Highness' fame has long resounded in my ears.
My reverence for you is like a raging river. Today I was fortunate enough to see Your Highness in person and forgot to pay my respects. Please forgive me, Your Highness! "
This round of boot-licking was given to Liu Ze, who was already very prideful and focused on pomp and circumstance. Liu Ze was beaming with joy.
"Ha-ha … this kid is making progress. Your Highness will forgive you!
Alright, get up! "
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
They eyed Li Mo from the corner of their eyes. Some were jealous, some envious.
To be able to leave such a deep impression on Your Highness, this person had a high chance of being chosen!
"This batch is passable. Those above the intermediate martial master level, stay. The rest are dismissed!"
As soon as Liu Ze said this, the servants immediately took the unqualified ones out.
There were originally dozens of people in the team, but now there were less than twenty people left.
"You are all the future pillars of the Jade Clear Plane. From today onwards, you will all be part of the imperial guards of my house."
With that, Liu Ze's gaze landed on the three general level powerhouses.
"The three of you will follow the elders of the mansion and cultivate together.
You too, come with us! "
Liu Ze pointed at Li Mo and disappeared with the two martial soul experts.
"F * ck!
For what reason?
Even a mid-ranked general like him can follow an elder to cultivate, while I, a high-ranked general, can only be an Imperial Guard! "
"F * ck, this kid only knows how to flatter!"
…
The remaining youths all stared at Li Mo, cursing and swearing to express their dissatisfaction!
"Quiet down, all of you!"
Three middle-aged men came from the square with a shout.
"You four come with us. The rest report to the Imperial Guard!"
He was about to part ways with Myriad Spirits. Li Mo was a bit worried and left a strand of his divine sense on him!
"If you dare to speak nonsense, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Wan Ling could also sense the formidable power within his body. With just a single thought from the other party, he would be doomed eternally.
"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare!"
The three elders were mid-level generals. With them leading the way, Li Mo's group arrived at a yard.
"From today onwards, this will be the place where the four of you will cultivate.
We're in the courtyard next door. You can look for us if you need anything! "
"Elder, it's like this. This time, my grandfather came with me. He's still waiting for me.
Since I'm staying here, I want to go out and tell him so that he won't worry! "
"Hmm, you do have some filial piety. However, I can only give you half a day's time."
"Thank you, elder!"
…
Xuanyuan Wudi sat cross-legged in his room as Li Mo told him about the experts he met in the manor!
With Xuanyuan Wudi's strength, even the two Martial Soul Masters by Liu Ze's side were nothing to him.
But he was still worried about Li Mo.
"Little Mo, it's best if you don't join us tonight. Just wait for me in the inn!"
"Grandpa, how can I not go when Liu Ze is right in front of me?"
"Little Mo, you saw how rare martial soul masters are. But today, two of them appeared by Liu Ze's side.
I'm afraid there are more in the dark. You just entered the martial soul stage and I'm afraid you'll run into trouble! "
"Grandpa, don't worry. I, Li Mo, am not that easy to bully!"
Li Mo said this because he had so many cards up his sleeves.
He wouldn't care if it was someone with a martial soul of the same level as him. Even if a mid-level martial soul appeared, he would still stand a chance!
Under his repeated pleas, Xuanyuan Wudi finally agreed.
But he wanted him to stay by his side at all times, just in case!
The two planned for a bit before Li Mo returned to the manor.
At night, the two of them would work together!
But Liu Ze wasn't a meticulous man.
He investigated all the youths who stayed in the mansion one by one to prevent anyone from taking this opportunity to sneak into the mansion.
"Is Cheng Tian back?"
"Reporting to Your Highness, he is.
We did as you requested and investigated him. There shouldn't be any problems with him being in Celestial Pond City. The others also gave us accurate information. "
The elder leading Li Mo and the three generals spoke respectfully to Liu Ze.
"En!
Since the information is accurate, let's teach them well. They will come in handy when I expand my territory! "
…
Li Mo's presence in the yard was a thorn in the eyes of the three generals.
"Kid, you're only a mid-level martial master.
It's best if you stay away from us. If not for His Highness' favor, I would've dealt with you long ago.
If you want to stay here, you'd better be sensible! "
"Humph!
Brother Wang, don't lower yourself to this bootlicker's level.
I really don't know why His Highness favors this piece of trash! "
"Gentlemen, this person only relies on his mouth to make a living. Don't lower yourself to his level!"
The three of them mocked Li Mo one after another, but Li Mo didn't seem to care.
"Humph!
I'll let you have your fun for now. We'll deal with you later tonight! "
Thinking of this, Li Mo returned to his room, paying no heed to these three generals!
"You …"
The Wang youth couldn't stand Li Mo's arrogance and was about to teach him a lesson, but his comrade stopped him.
"Sigh!
Brother Wang, we are new here. It's best if we don't stir up trouble.
We'll have plenty of time to deal with this trash later! "
"Humph, I'll let him off today, but he'll be in for it later!"
…
As night fell, Li Mo left his room and looked up at the sky.
It was pitch-black, perhaps because it was cloudy, but not a single star could be seen.
The howling wind tore through the silent night like the wailing of ghosts and the howling of wolves!
"It's a dark and windy night!"
Li Mo smiled and appeared outside the Wang youth's room.
Through the crack in the door, he saw the three toasting in his room. Li Mo entered without hesitation.
"Who is it?"
"Damn!
Why are you here? "
The three were startled to see Li Mo barging in without knocking. They thought it was an elder.
"Ha-ha, for better or worse, we are fellow sect members.
Don't you think you're going a bit overboard when you drink in secret without calling me? "
Li Mo looked at the three innocently.
"Call you?
Who the hell do you think you are? A puny martial master, what right do you have to drink with us brothers?
Get the hell out of here or I'll cripple you! "
The Wang youth stood up and cursed Li Mo.
"Sigh!
I may not be that strong, but I'm more than enough to take care of stinky fish and shrimps. "
"Take care of us?
Ha-ha … that's the funniest joke I've ever heard.
I've long since found you pleasing to the eye. Since you want to die, I'll grant your wish! "
He kicked the table in front of him at Li Mo.
He thought killing Li Mo would be a piece of cake with his general power.
But what he didn't expect was for the table to stop half a meter away from Li Mo, unable to move any further!
"Ho!
No wonder you dared to speak so rudely. You have some skill after all. "
"You flatter me. I have more than just some skill."
Li Mo's smile was gone, replaced by a cold expression.
A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and the table in front of him was directly smashed into pieces.
A white light shot at the three!
"W-what's that?"
The three of them immediately felt a sense of powerlessness throughout their bodies.
"Humph!
I've said it before, dealing with you three pieces of trash is as easy as moving my fingers.
Don't blame me for not believing you! "
