Douluo: Martial Soul Asura Sword, Supreme Killing God

Su Mo smiled slightly: "Patriarch Shui, you are too kind. We just happened to be passing by today."

Shui Lingyue smiled gently: "In any case, we will always remember Young Master Su's kindness."

"By the way, Young Master Su, may I ask which faction you come from?" Shui Lingyue suddenly asked.

This question had been on her mind all along.

After all, Su Mo and his two companions were too young, and their strength was unfathomable. Such prodigies could never be from some small sect.

In fact, from the moment she learned Su Mo's name, Shui Lingyue had a rough guess in her mind.

She was familiar with the name Su Mo; she knew that there was a genius in the Spirit Hall named Su Mo.

After all, Su Mo caused quite a stir in Tiandou City back then, and all sorts of forces, big and small, had heard about it.

The Shui family was not weak in the Heaven Dou Empire, and they were no exception.

However, Shui Lingyue was not familiar with Su Mo's appearance.

Although the Shui family was invited to the wedding of the Pope of the Spirit Hall a few years ago, and Shui Lingyue was also present, she only saw Su Mo from afar because of the distance. In addition, several years had passed, so she did not recognize Su Mo at all.

“I come from the Spirit Hall,” Su Mo said calmly.

“The Spirit Hall…” Shui Lingyue’s expression turned serious. “Young Master Su, are you perhaps His Highness the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall?”

"Oh? I didn't expect Patriarch Shui to know me?" Su Mo said with a faint smile. "But that was several years ago. I am no longer the Holy Son."

"Greetings, Your Highness!"

Shui Lingyue and Shui Qingrou quickly stood up from their seats and bowed to Su Mo with some trepidation.

Su Mo smiled and said, "Please, both of you, there's no need for such formalities. Please have a seat."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Shui Lingyue and Shui Qingrou responded in unison and then sat down.

However, they still looked somewhat nervous. After all, Su Mo had been able to single-handedly kill a Title Douluo many years ago; just how strong must he be now?

No wonder they were able to scare away so many ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts.

"You don't need to be so nervous. Let's eat first. You must be hungry after traveling all day."

After Su Mo finished speaking, he began eating meat and drinking wine on his own.

"Yes, Your Highness." Shui Lingyue and Shui Qingrou nodded, trying to calm themselves down.

However, no matter how hard they tried to calm down, it was no use.

Since confirming Su Mo's identity, they felt that Su Mo's aura was too strong. Even Shui Lingyue, the head of the family, was far inferior to him, so they could not remain calm at all.

At this moment, even the head of the Shui family regretted inviting Su Mo to the Shui family as a guest.

She didn't know whether this was a blessing or a curse.

Because she was well aware of the grudges between the Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire, and the two sides had been taking increasingly frequent actions in recent years.

The Shui family had been courted by the Heaven Dou Empire and the Spirit Hall, but they refused because they did not want to get involved in the conflict.

However, if they bring the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall back to the Shui family, and if they are deliberately guided by someone with ulterior motives, then even if they have not joined the Spirit Hall, they will be suspected of being related to the Spirit Hall and thus be drawn into this conflict.

"What? Aren't you hungry?"

Su Mo looked at Shui Lingyue and Shui Qingrou, who hadn't dared to touch their chopsticks, and asked with a smile.

"No...no." Shui Lingyue quickly shook her head.

Immediately, the two of them nervously picked up their chopsticks and began to eat.

A moment later, Su Mo finished his drink in one gulp and looked at Shui Lingyue: "Patriarch Shui, what are your thoughts on the Spirit Hall?"

Shui Lingyue's heart skipped a beat; she sensed that Su Mo's words had a deeper meaning.

After a moment of contemplation, Shui Lingyue said, "Your Highness, I think the Spirit Hall is actually quite good. At least the Spirit Hall has always been thinking about the common people, instead of just exploiting them like the imperial nobles."

Shui Lingyue's words were not meant to flatter the Spirit Hall; she was simply stating the truth.

Although the Shui family is considered a noble family in the Heaven Dou Empire, their ideals are actually similar to those of the Spirit Hall, both always considering the common people.

Just like the Tianshui Academy founded by the Shui family, it is the only one of the five elemental academies in the Tiandou Empire that is open to commoners.

Moreover, the Spirit Hall is not as brutal as it used to be, so Shui Lingyue doesn't actually have much ill will towards it.

"It seems that Patriarch Shui has a good impression of our Spirit Hall. Would you be willing to join the Spirit Hall?" Su Mo asked with a smile.

Shui Lingyue hesitated for a moment, then took a deep breath: "I'm sorry, Your Highness, the Shui family has always been neutral and has no intention of joining any faction."

Su Mo was not surprised at all when he heard this, because he knew that the Spirit Hall had tried to win over the Shui family, but had been rejected.

Therefore, it is clearly impossible to change the Shui family's stance based on just one person's words.

"Patriarch Shui, to be honest, the Spirit Hall will unify the continent sooner or later. You have no other choice. If you don't join the Spirit Hall now, can you bear the consequences in the future?"

The reason Su Mo dared to reveal such an important plan directly was that he was not afraid of the other party leaking the secret.

Moreover, it doesn't matter if the plan is exposed; the Spirit Hall is not afraid of any force now.

"Unify...unify the continent?" Shui Lingyue's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief.

Water is gentle, just like that.

None of them expected that the Spirit Hall would have such ambitions.

Su Mo nodded slightly: "That's right, Patriarch Shui, I hope you can consider this carefully and give me a clear answer before I return to Wuhun City."

"I understand," Shui Lingyue sighed softly.

For the rest of the time, Shui Lingyue and Shui Qingrou were both absent-minded.

As always, Xiao Bai continued to eat and drink carefree.

As for Xue Di, she remained calm and silent throughout, simply enjoying the food on the table with elegance.

Half an hour later, dinner was over.

The food on the table was eaten clean; most of it was consumed by Xiaobai.

After dinner, as dusk fell, the group arrived at a luxurious hotel in the city.

A young waiter was standing at the front desk.

"Hello, distinguished guests, are you looking for accommodation?" the waiter asked.

Su Mo nodded slightly: "Yes, book four of the best rooms for one night."

The waiter smiled and said, "Yes, sir, that's forty gold soul coins in total."

A moment later, Su Mo paid the bill, the waiter completed the check-in process, and handed Su Mo four keys.

"Xiaobai, this is yours." Su Mo handed one of the keys to Xiaobai.

“Okay, Dad.” Xiaobai took the keys.

"Master Shui, Miss Shui, these are yours." Su Mo handed the other two keys to the Shui family mother and daughter.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Shui Lingyue accepted the two keys with a sense of trepidation.

At this moment, Xue Di, who was next to Su Mo, suddenly realized something. She had just thought that the Shui family mother and daughter would share a room and the three of them would each have a room. But it turned out that Su Mo wanted her to share a room with him.

How can this be?

She clearly hasn't agreed to Su Mo's request yet.

How can a man and a woman be alone in a room together?

What should I do if Su Mo suddenly becomes a beast?

Should I agree to Su Mo's request, or resist for a while before agreeing?

"Su Mo, what about mine?" Xue Di asked, her face slightly flushed.

Xiao Bai chuckled and said, "Mom, of course you live with Dad."

"Xiaobai is right, of course you'll live with me," Su Mo said with a mischievous smile.

Without waiting for Xue Di's reply, Su Mo directly grabbed her hand and walked upstairs.

Seeing this, Xiaobai chuckled and followed.

Shui Lingyue and Shui Qingrou remained standing in the same spot, exchanging a glance.

"Mom, can we leave now?" Shui Qingrou asked softly.

Shui Lingyue shook her head: "Sigh, do you think our Shui family can remain unscathed after learning about the Spirit Hall's important plan?"

Shui Qingrou remained silent, knowing that her mother was right.

"Let's go up first. We can discuss this matter again when we return to the family."

After Shui Lingyue finished speaking, she took Shui Qingrou upstairs.

At this moment, on the top floor of the hotel.

In front of a luxurious suite, this is Su Mo's room.

Su Mo led Xue Di through the door and entered.

The room is large, with a living room and a bedroom, and is fully furnished.

"Su Mo, we're not even together yet, how can we share a room?"

Su Mo chuckled: "It was bound to happen sooner or later, I'm just letting you get used to it in advance."

"How could you be so shameless..." Xue Di said angrily.

"Don't worry, I'll just hold you while I sleep, I won't do anything inappropriate."

"Really...really?" Xue Di asked with some doubt.

She didn't believe that Su Mo, that bad guy, would be so honest.

"Really," Su Mo said seriously.

"Well... alright then, you have to keep your word. You can only hug, and you can't do anything else."
