Warrior’s Promise

“My sister says that she likes you and you have already agreed to marry each other and cultivate together. Is that true?” Mu Chu asked in a cold tone.

“Yes!” Su Mo nodded. Since he wanted to help Mu Li, he would not deny it.

“I suggest that you give up on the idea. You are not worthy to be with my sister. Please leave her alone!” Mu Chu said in a deep voice.

“Oh? May I know why am I not worthy to be with her?” Su Mo asked with a straight face.

“Your cultivation level is only at Rank 6 Martial Honored Realm. Do you think you are worthy of her?” Mu Chu asked mockingly. Since You Tianhan was able to achieve such a cultivation level at his age, he must be talented. At the least, he was better than Mu Chu. Mu Chu had obtained Rank 8 Martial Honored Realm only when he was more than 100 years old.

However, although You Tianhan was talented, he was nothing compared to Qin Xing in all aspects.

“My current cultivation level does not represent my future cultivation level!” Su Mo smiled and he did not take Mu Chu’s words to heart.

Mu Li stood aside quietly and watched. She did not interrupt but she felt uneasy.

“Indeed, you have great talent!”

Mu Chu nodded. Suddenly, he changed his tone and continued, saying, “You may become a Sage in the future, but it will still be impossible for you and my sister!”

“Why is it impossible if we like each other?” Su Mo asked.

“Let me tell you!”

Mu Li’s father, Mu Hua, finally spoke, “Tomorrow, Mu Li will be going to the Qins to be engaged to Qin Xing!”

“What?” When Mu Li heard what her father had said, her face turned pale. She was not aware of that.

Su Mo knitted his brows. Are they getting engaged? This is getting tough!

“Father, how can you make such an arrangement without getting my consent?” Mu Li questioned Mu Hua, looking pale.

“Li’er, I am doing this for your own good. The Qins are a big family and they are well-off. Qin Xing is good-looking and talented. He is a good match for you!” Mu Hua said.

“The problem is, I don’t like Qin Xing!” Mu Li said with a frown and her face turned cold.

“Feelings can be nurtured. After you get engaged to him, spend more time together and you will be able to nurture feelings for each other!” Mu Hua replied and refuted what Mu Li had said.

“I like You Tianhan. Other than him, I will not marry anyone!” Mu Li insisted.

When Mu Hua heard what Mu Li had said, he frowned. He then glanced at Su Mo and said, “You Tianhan, Qin Xing is better than you. You are not suitable to be Li’er’s mate, so please leave!”

Mu Hua was not hard on You Tianhan. After all, You Tianhan was a genius from Shenwu Academy and Mu Hua refrained from offending him.

“Uncle, I will not leave. I will be with Mu Li wherever she is!” Su Mo said.

When Mu Hua heard it, he knitted his brows and said coldly, “You are stubborn. I will not allow you and Li’er to be together. If you are willing to leave her, I will give you a tidy sum of Spiritual Crystals!”

“Oh? How much are you willing to give me?” Su Mo laughed when he heard it and he became curious.

“You Tianhan, you…!” When Mu Li heard Su Mo’s question, she was enraged. You Tianhan cannot not be trusted. He is a money grubber!

When Mu Chu heard Su Mo asking his father, he laughed in his heart. He had thought that You Tianhan truly liked his sister but he turned out to be a money grubber!

Mu Hua shook his head as he shared the same thought as Mu Chu.

However, he did not mind spending some Spiritual Crystals if he could get rid of You Tianhan.

“500,000 Upper Spiritual Crystals!” Mu Hua said after pondering for a while.

“500,000?” When Su Mo heard it, he laughed and said, “Uncle, is Mu Li worth only 500,000 Upper Spiritual Crystals to you?”

“How much do you want then?” Mu Hua’s face darkened. You Tianhan is trying to ask for the sky.

“Not much. I will leave Mu Li for one billion Upper Spiritual Crystals!” Su Mo said with a smile.

When Su Mo made that statement, Mu Hua, Mu Chu, and even Mu Li were shocked.

One billion Upper Spiritual Crystals?

Is he spouting nonsense?

The Mus could not even cough up one billion Upper Spiritual Crystals if they sold all their possessions!

Ah!

“Ridiculous! You Tianhan, are you trying to blackmail us?” Mu Chu stood up, looking angry.

If You Tianhan was not from Shenwu Academy, he would have suppressed him.

Mu Hua’s face looked terrible and cold light flashed across his eyes.

“How is it? Are you unwilling to do so?”

Su Mo smiled and said, “How about this? I will give you one billion Upper Spiritual Crystals. You shall call off the marriage between Mu Li and Qin Xing and not interfere in our relationship.”

“Do you have one billion Upper Spiritual Crystals?” Mu Chu asked. He did not believe You Tianhan had that amount as one billion Upper Spiritual Crystals was a large sum.

Mu Hua did not believe You Tianhan as well and he felt that You Tianhan was being boastful.

As for Mu Li, she was speechless. Her intention was for You Tianhan to show his talent and strength to convince her father.

However, things became more and more absurd.

“Of course!” Su Mo replied firmly. He had so many Spiritual Crystals that he had become too lazy to count them.

When he was at the Ancient Dream Forbidden Land, he had gotten hold of the storage rings of the Martial Sages. Mo Lin’s Upper Spiritual Crystals and Upper Demonic Crystals alone were already worth more than one billion.

Before Su Mo left Firmament Palace, he had left some Spiritual Crystals behind but he still had a lot with him.

Thus, Su Mo did not mind using the Spiritual Crystals to help Mu Li solve her problem.

“You Tianhan, we have already given our word to the Qins and we will not make any changes to that. Know what is good for you and leave!” Mu Hua said. He did not believe that Su Mo had one billion Spiritual Crystals, and even if he had, it would not change his mind.

The joint marriage affected the future of the Mus and one billion Spiritual Crystals was nothing compared to that.

Qin Xing was talented and he would become a Sage in the future. Moreover, Qin Xing’s brother, Qin Yun, might become an Empty God Realm master.

When that happened, not only the Qins but the Mus would prosper together with them.

The joint marriage affected the future of the Mus and no amount of Spiritual Crystals would make Mu Hua change his mind.

Although You Tianhan possessed a high cultivation level for his age and he was talented, he could not be compared to Qin Xing and his family.

Mu Li’s face looked ghastly pale and her heart sank. Her father was determined to see through the marriage and it seemed unlikely for him to change his mind.

When Su Mo heard what Mu Hua had said, he pondered for a while and said, “Uncle, how about this, let me go with you tomorrow to the Qins and I will persuade them to call off the marriage!”

“What?” When Mu Hua heard it, he was shocked. He then became angry as he could not possibly let Su Mo mess up such an important matter!

“You Tianhan, are you tired of living? If you go to the Qins, they may not let you off just because you are a disciple from Shenwu Academy!” Mu Chu sneered. He felt that You Tianhan was courting his own doom by going to the Qins.

When Mu Li heard what You Tianhan had said, her expression changed. She had wanted You Tianhan to dissuade her father but it seemed impossible for her father to change his mind

If You Tianhan went to the Qins, it would be too risky for him. She did not want You Tianhan to get into danger because of her.
