In Panjiayuan, the first thing they did was trick Lao Hu into going tomb raiding.

Hearing the sound, Su Mo reached out and rolled down the window.

"Hello, sir..."

A waitress from the Crescent Moon Hotel stood outside the car and said apologetically to Su Mo, "An auction is currently being held inside the Crescent Moon Hotel. Please do not park your car here!"

The woman seemed to have received special training; her voice was gentle, her tone was proper, and every smile and gesture was flawless.

What perfect timing! I've arrived at the auction at the Crescent Hotel!

Su Mo nodded to the waitress, parked the car in the designated spot, and then got out.

"Hey girl, get out of the car, let's go check out the auction at the Crescent Hotel!"

"it is good!"

Yingzi got out of the car and affectionately took Su Mo's right arm.

Crescent Hotel, nine gates!

Su Mo's eyes flickered, and he strode into the New Moon Hotel.

"Hello, please show me your invitation!"

"no!"

"I'm sorry, sir, today's auction is for VIPs only and is not open to the public!"

"But we absolutely have to go in today!"

"How dare you!"

Seeing that Su Mo was about to force his way in, dozens of men in black quickly emerged from the New Moon Hotel.

One of the leaders looked at Su Mo with an unfriendly expression, "Friend, this is the Crescent Moon Hotel!"

The tone implied a threat.

Su Mo took off his coat, pushed Yingzi away to reassure her, and then disappeared from the spot.

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

Su Mo's figure was incredibly fast. The black-clad security personnel at the Crescent Hotel only saw a blur before their eyes and a blurry shadow flashed past them. Then, they were all in excruciating pain in their abdomens and collapsed to the ground.

"How is that possible!"

"How did this kid do that?!"

More than a dozen people collapsed to the ground at the same moment, their hearts filled with horror.

"Azure Dragon!"

In the distance, a man in a suit walked over, his eyes bright and deep!

He looked to be only in his thirties, but his eyes seemed to hold the power of a lion, sending a chill down one's spine for no reason.

The man scrutinized Su Mo closely, marveling, "There are actually Azure Dragon bloodlines in this world!"

Su Mo met the man in the suit's gaze, and a strange emotion, unlike anything she had ever felt before, welled up within her. It felt like a resonance of kindred spirits, yet also like some kind of tangled hostility.

Su Mo quickly calculated with his fingers and said, "Zhang Rishan? The ferocious beast Qiongqi..."

Zhang Rishan, sitting opposite Su Mo, wasn't surprised at all. Instead, he looked at Su Mo with a strange expression. "In all these decades, this is the first time I've ever seen anyone dare to cause trouble at my Crescent Moon Hotel!"

As he spoke, Zhang Rishan suddenly appeared in front of Su Mo. Standing at nearly 1.8 meters tall, his physique appeared quite robust when he threw a punch.

"Boom!"

Caught off guard, Su Mo took several punches, then suddenly bent over, his body arching forward like a sharp blade, "Bang!"

With a muffled thud, Su Mo placed his hands on the burly young man's chest, pushing Zhang Rishan half a meter away.

"Not bad!"

Su Mo gave a thumbs-up, then with his left shoulder pressed against the other person's body, he swung his right fist slightly and smashed it horizontally towards the other person's head.

Zhang Rishan was somewhat startled, but reacted extremely quickly, raising his left arm slightly to block the attack.

"Oh!"

As the swift punch landed, Zhang Rishan stood still, only his head and the arm that was blocking the punch swayed slightly, while his lower body remained completely still.

Taking advantage of the momentum, Su Mo swung his left elbow and smashed it into the other person's head.

"Oh!"

This time, Zhang Rishan made no attempt to defend himself, and his right fist struck Su Mo's left arm ribs from below with a simple and brutal motion.

The two fought back and forth, exchanging seven or eight blows.

In the end, Su Mo got serious. As the two switched arms, he leaned forward, raised his right arm, paused in the air for 0.01 seconds, and then brought it down with all his might.

"Oh!"

The fist landed, striking Zhang Rishan hard in the chest, causing him to stagger backward at high speed.

Blood rushed upwards from his abdomen, but Zhang Rishan endured the excruciating pain, swallowed it forcefully with a gulp.

I couldn't even last ten moves against this person!

Even the Buddha back then wasn't all that great!

Looking at Su Mo, Zhang Rishan's expression turned serious. "A promising young man!"

Su Mo cupped his hands and said, "The adjutant's techniques are all for killing, so there are bound to be some constraints during a sparring session, which is why I was able to gain some advantage..."

Zhang Qishan was, after all, the host of the New Moon Hotel, and Su Mo didn't want to completely fall out with him. Seeing that the battle was over, Su Mo quickly showered him with silent compliments.

Sure enough, upon hearing Su Mo's words, Zhang Rishan's expression softened considerably. "You can leave now. I'll pretend today's events never happened..."

"adjutant…"

Su Mo cupped his hands in greeting again and said, "This is my first time visiting the Crescent Moon Hotel. Could you please do me the honor of letting me in to broaden my horizons..."

Su Mo adopted an extremely humble posture, causing Zhang Rishan to frown, hesitating to speak, "This auction is extraordinary and extremely special. Under other circumstances, I wouldn't mind letting you in, but today..."

"Boy!"

Zhang Rishan suddenly smiled, a playful look on his face, "Besides fighting, do you have any other skills?"

Other skills?

Su Mo glanced at the stone lions at the entrance, and an idea suddenly came to him. "Lieutenant, please take a look!"

"Oh…"

Zhang Rishan raised an eyebrow and sneered, "A pair of stone lions, which I personally crafted back then. Could there be gold hidden inside?"

"No, no, no..."

Su Mo shook his head. "May I ask, how did you manage to gain a foothold in Changsha back then?"

Zhang Rishan's face turned pale with fright, "You..."

Su Mo patted the stone lion, then grinned at Zhang Rishan.

"Smack!"

The stone lion disappeared straight out of the entrance of the Crescent Hotel.

"..."

Zhang Rishan was stunned. Su Mo continued, "I heard that Master Zhang is skilled in the Five Ghosts Moving Technique and once moved a stone Buddha into his home, thus becoming famous in Changsha..."

Su Mo waved his hand, and the other stone lion opposite him vanished into thin air.

They acted as if they had never existed.

This time, Zhang Rishan could no longer remain calm; his face was filled with shock and horror.

He just made up an excuse to make the kid back down, but he didn't expect the young man's move to startle him.

Su Mo laughed and said, "I wonder how my low-class methods compare to those of Master Buddha?"

"........."

Zhang Rishan fell silent for a long time. "You really know the Five Ghosts Moving Technique?"

As a trusted confidant of the Buddha, Zhang Rishan knew better than anyone how the Buddha had brought the giant Buddha home back then.

He knew the dirty secrets behind it better than anyone else.

But today, the two stone lions truly vanished before my eyes. Without any instruction from anyone or any other unknown means, they simply disappeared into thin air.

"Go inside..."

Zhang Rishan slowly exhaled, "Just your Five Ghosts Moving Technique, which is no less powerful than the Buddha's, is enough to shut everyone in the New Moon Hotel up!"

Su Mo cupped his hands and smiled, "Thank you, adjutant!"

"Let's go, let's go..."

Su Mo took Yingzi's hand and slowly entered the New Moon Hotel.

As Yingzi walked, she whispered, "How did you do that?"

Su Mo glanced at the pair of stone lions in the system space and chuckled.

"secret!"

...

Ps:

Chapter 97: Lighting the Sky Lantern

After entering the New Moon Hotel, Zhang Rishan personally led Su Mo and Yingzi to a private room on the second floor.

Su Mo took his seat and said apologetically to Zhang Rishan, "Take good care of your injuries..."

"Cough cough..."

Zhang Rishan couldn't hold it in any longer and started coughing violently. He thought he had hidden it perfectly, but he didn't expect that this kid would still see through him.

Su Mo couldn't bear it and said, "You're so old, don't push yourself. Take good care of your injuries..."
