Chapter 174 - Zi Yue’s Invitation
Chapter 174: Zi Yue’s Invitation
Lin Mo slowly walked out with a smile on his face, causing Zi Yue to clench her teeth tightly.
She did not expect that Lin Mo had hidden so much of his strength, and even Qianqian had not been able to finish him off.
“Manager Lin sure has a good method.”
Zi Yue forcefully suppressed her anger, wanting to make a move here and finish off Lin Mo.
“It’s just fine,” Lin Mo said with a smile.
“Young Master Lin, I’ve set up a banquet at Drunken Immortal Restaurant. I wonder if you would do me the honor of attending?” Zi Yue’s face was expressionless as she spoke slowly.
“Master, you can’t.”
Seeing this, Miao Qing hurriedly spoke out to stop Lin Mo.
Zi Yue clearly did not have good intentions. After all, they had just captured the other party’s people and auctioned her off as a maid.
Now that Zi Yue had invited Lin Mo to the banquet, this banquet was somewhat similar to the Hongmen banquet.
“Sure, since we can be invited to the lady’s banquet, why not?” Lin Mo smiled. After giving Miao Qing and the others a few instructions, he followed Zi Yue and left.
The surrounding crowd did not know what exactly had happened, but they still looked at Lin Mo with envy.
When Lin Mo arrived at the Drunken Immortal Restaurant, Lady Zi Yue personally welcomed him. The atmosphere was very grand.
She was still as otherworldly as before. Her peerless looks were unparalleled, her figure was slender, and some of her white dresses made her look like a fairy from the heavens.
The appearance of Lady Zi yue made many guests of the Drunken Immortal Restaurant excited.
Under everyone’s envious gazes, Lin Mo slowly walked into the tower and left everyone’s line of sight.
In everyone’s eyes, Lin Mo was incomparably glorious and gained the beauty’s heart.
However, as the main character, Lin Mo did not dare to let his guard down for even a moment.
Last time, it was due to a moment of carelessness. This time, no matter what he said, he could not fall for it.
“Young Master Lin, what plans do you have in the future?” Zi Yue was the first to speak as if Qianqian’s incident had never happened.
However, Qianqian was very hostile toward Lin Mo. She stepped forward and said, “Master, this fellow is a despicable person. Why don’t you take the opportunity to kill him now?”
“I don’t agree with your words. You were the one who wanted to kill me.” Lin Mo did not think much of it.
Although it was a great humiliation to have her auctioned off as a maid, they had already come to assassinate her. Even if Lin Mo killed her, it would not be too much.
“You…” Qianqian was anxious, but she was rendered speechless by Lin Mo’s words.
Meanwhile, Qing Wen and Qing Wu, who was behind Zi Yue, placed their hands on the long sword by their waist.
As long as Zi Yue gave the order, they would immediately attack.
“What? You invited me here just to kill me?” Lin Mo calmly sat down, looking as if he was watching a good show.
Seeing this, Qing Wen and Qing Wu pulled out their swords, ready to attack at any time.
“You two stand down.”
“Qianqian, calm down too.”
Finally, Zi Yue spoke, and a powerful aura emerged from her body, suppressing Qing Wen and Qing Wu, who were about to attack.
“Young Master Lin, we were indeed a little unhappy earlier. I apologize to you.” Zi Yue picked up the wine jug and poured a cup of wine for Lin Mo.
“Miss Zi Yue, you can speak your mind.” Lin Mo did not touch the wine cup on the table and spoke bluntly.
Seeing this, Lin Mo sighed in his heart.
He had been careless. The people of the royal family were indeed not to be trifled with.
On the surface, the aura that Zi Yue had released earlier was to stop Qing Wen and Qing Wu.
However, it was deliberately shown to Lin Mo.
From the aura, Lin Mo could be sure that this eighth prince’s strength was extraordinary.
Lin Mo’s strength could be considered to be at the peak of the tier 9 Transformation Dragon Realm, and the strength that Zi Yue displayed was obviously stronger than his.
“You and I have been scheming against each other before, so it can be said that we know each other quite well. Why don’t we join hands?” Zi Yue said with a smile.
“How do we work together?”Lin Mo said frankly.
Lady Zi Yue’s expression was calm as she said slowly, “With your intelligence, I believe you have already guessed my true identity.”
“The eighth prince of the Yanhuang Divine Empire is actually a woman. It has indeed exceeded my expectations,” Lin Mo said indifferently.
When they first met, he had already known Zi Yue’s true identity from the water dragon pendant.
“Follow me, and I’ll give you everything you want.” Zi Yue opened her mouth, promising Lin Mo benefits.
“Forgive me for rejecting, but I won’t follow anyone.” Lin Mo rejected without even thinking.
The two of them already had a grudge. It would be difficult for them to work together, let alone make Lin Mo submit.
“Then think carefully. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” Zi Yue said softly.
“So what?” Lin Mo waved his hand.
Not to mention that it was impossible for him to rely on someone else. If he did, he would rather be relying on the second prince.
Although the eighth prince’s strength surprised him a little, that was all.
At the very least, the one who had the upper hand in the battle between the two was the second prince.
Zi Yue’s expression was dejected. She knew that she could not press forward step by step. Otherwise, the other party would very likely turn around and join the second prince’s tutelage.
Lin Mo was a genius. In the future, when he grew up, he would be an extraordinary figure.
However, if such a person could not be used by her, it would be a bit of a pity.
“Can you tell me why you’re not willing to join my side?” Zi Yue asked.
“Because standing on the side of the royal family’s dispute would do more harm than good,” Lin Mo said coldly. “Furthermore, how would I know if you would not abandon me after reaching your goal?”
This was Lin Mo’s concern. These princes were all calculative. He really did not want to deal with these people.
Thinking back to the first time he cooperated with Zi Yue, the other party wanted to use three million low-grade spiritual stones as a deposit to buy the tier 7 array.
Schemes were really troublesome.
Moreover, if the second prince and the other princes knew that he supported the eighth prince, Lin Mo might be quietly eliminated the next day.
He did not want to be restricted and preferred to be free and unfettered.
If he did not join any faction, where could he not go in this vast world?
“You have to think carefully. Follow me and I will bring you countless resources. With your talent, you will definitely be able to shine and become a rising star of the Yanhuang Divine Empire. It is not impossible for you to lead a region in the future,” Zi Yue advised.
“I will naturally fight for the resources that I want, but I will not obtain them through this method.” After Lin Mo said that, he did not say anything else.
“You are too confident. This world is very big. There are many things that you can not imagine.” Zi Yue’s expression was calm, as cold as the Moon.
“Thank you for the reminder, but I still stand by my point.” Lin Mo stood up and cupped his fists.
Lin Mo smiled and said, “It’s impossible to follow you, but it’s not impossible to cooperate with you.”
“Of course, if the second prince came to me to cooperate with me first, I wouldn’t refuse.”
After saying this, Lin Mo planned to leave. He would never agree to Zi Yue’s invitation.
However, cooperating with these princes would bring him a lot of benefits.
There were definitely many incomplete copies of martial arts in the royal family’s collection. These were all treasures that were hard to come by for him.
With such benefits, it was not impossible for them to work together a little.
“Aren’t you afraid that you won’t be able to leave the Drunken Immortal Restaurant if you say such things to me here?” Zi Yue faintly smiled.
“If you wanted to make a move, you wouldn’t have said so much to me.” Lin Mo smiled and picked up the wine cup on the table.
After drinking it in one gulp, Lin Mo turned around and left.
