Chapter 72: Rejection
"You're not some genius, but I am."
Su Zhan paused for a moment and said calmly, "With a single punch, I can probably kill ten or eight someone like you."
"You!" Mo Tian was infuriated. "If it weren't for practicing for a few more years, do you have the qualifications to speak to me like this?"
"Idiot!" Su Zhan was somewhat speechless. "Do I have to go around telling everyone about such trivial matters like reaching the peak of the Martial Master Realm within a month of opening my meridians?"
Mo Tian angrily exclaimed, "How dare you insult me!"
"No," Su Zhan shook his head. "I'm an honest person and only speak the truth."
"You!" This remark made Mo Tian's scalp tingle with anger. He roared, "Uncle, cripple him for me!"
"Very well!" The Origin Elixir stage elder, coldly looking at Su Zhan, was about to make a move when a black-clad woman approached with light steps.
"How audacious! This is a guest of the Empress. How dare you offend them!"
A guest of the Empress? Upon hearing this, the elder immediately stopped, not daring to continue his attack.
Mo Tian gritted his teeth. "I challenge you. Isn't that offensive?"
"Your cultivation level is inferior to mine, yet you want to challenge me?" Su Zhan found it somewhat amusing. He never expected that he would one day face a challenge from someone of a lower realm
"Perhaps I'm not your match right now, but once I cultivate in the Sacred Pool and reach the late stage of the Martial Master Realm in one go, it won't be the same!"
"Mo Tian, are you also going to cultivate in the Sacred Pool?" Hua Yiyi was momentarily surprised, then smiled. "Well, that's a coincidence. Senior Brother Su is also here for the Sacred Pool."
"Him?" Mo Tian sneered. "A person from another country, what qualifications does he have to use the Sacred Pool? Just wait and see, he will definitely be driven out by the Empress!"
"Let's go, Uncle. After I break through, I'll make this person understand what true talent is!"
"Very well!" The elder nodded and followed Mo Tian as they left.
Su Zhan frowned, watching Mo Tian's figure.
"Senior Brother Su, don't be angry. That's just how Mo Tian is," Hua Yiyi explained. "He is a rare genius in our kingdom for the past hundred years. He has always looked down on others. He once said that if he had been born earlier, Li Changxing wouldn't have been a big deal. He has always been like this, so it might not necessarily be directed at you. Consider him a wealthy fool."
"Okay, lead me to meet the Empress," Su Zhan replied calmly, not taking this matter too seriously.
Soon, he followed Hua Yiyi to the steps of the main hall in the Flower Moon Kingdom's palace. At a glance, the main color of the palace was a pale pink.
It seems that even as an Empress, she can't escape the nature of being a woman!
For the first meeting, in order to reduce the chances of the Empress preventing him from entering the Sacred Pool for cultivation, the protagonist charm halo must come into play!
With these thoughts in mind, Su Zhan opened the charm halo panel and activated the Protagonist Charm Halo.
Suddenly, Hua Yiyi, standing beside him, seemed to sense something and glanced at him. For some reason, she suddenly felt that Su Zhan had become even more handsome in an instant, and she automatically overlooked the few flaws he had.
At this moment, her heart fluttered, and she couldn't help but feel that Su Zhan had an otherworldly aura, unlike an ordinary person!
"What's wrong?" Su Zhan asked in surprise when he noticed Hua Yiyii staring at him with a infatuated expression.
"N-nothing," Hua Yiyii blushed and turned her head, walking towards the main hall. Just the thought that her master would soon arrange a marriage between Su Zhan and herself filled her with joy.
Su Zhan also walked towards the main hall. Before entering, the palace maids in the corridor outside the hall couldn't help but gaze at him.
Upon entering the hall, Mo Tian and the elderly man were already there. When Mo Tian saw Su Zhan enter, he sneered disdainfully.
"Master, this is Su Zhan!" Hua Yiyii respectfully introduced.
"Greetings, Empress!" Su Zhan said and his gaze swept across Mo Tian and the others, then landed directly on the Empress behind the thin veil.
"So, you're Su Zhan. Indeed, you are talented," the Empress paused for a moment, her expression becoming somewhat puzzled.
It was their first meeting. But why did Su Zhan, no matter how she looked at him, seem handsome and pleasing to the eye?
At her level, she was no longer affected by appearances. Today, she unexpectedly developed a favorable impression towards someone she had never met before. It was indeed quite strange.
The Empress's powerful mental strength surged in her mind, weakening the effect of the charm halo. She continued, "I heard that you want to borrow the Sacred Pool?"
"Yes, that's also the agreement between me and Miss Yiyi," Su Zhan nodded.
"What a joke! What qualifications does she have to decide the use of the Sacred Pool?" Mo Tian sneered.
The Empress said, "Mo Tian is right. Yiyi indeed does not have the authority to decide the use of the Sacred Pool. Moreover, the Sacred Pool of our Flower Moon Kingdom has never been open to outsiders."
"Master" Hua Yiyii called out pitifully.
The Empress understood and smiled, "Of course, if you and Yiyi get married, then you won't be considered an outsider anymore."
"Get married?" Su Zhan was stunned.
Not only him, but Mo Tian also wore a bewildered expression.
Pointing at Su Zhan, unable to believe it, he said, "Your Majesty, are you saying that Yiyi will be betrothed to him?"
"Yes."
"Why him and not me?" Mo Tian was somewhat annoyed. "I am the true genius. Wait for me for two more years. After I turn sixteen, I can naturally marry Hua Yiyi!"
Huh?
Hua Yiyi furrowed her eyebrows.
Wait for you for two years?
Haha! By that time, Su Zhan would have long left you behind and who knows where you'll be! Besides, you're not as handsome as Su Zhan either!
With these thoughts in mind, Hua Yiyi spoke up, "Master, I'll follow your arrangements!"
In other words, as long as Su Zhan nodded, she wouldn't have any objections.
The Empress looked at Su Zhan and asked, "What is your answer?"
"I have no intention of marrying Miss Yiyi," Su Zhan shook his head.
Hua Yiyi felt a bit disappointed and whispered, "Su Zhan, don't you want to enter the Sacred Pool for cultivation?"
Su Zhan glanced at her, then looked directly at the Empress, his tone turning colder, "I won't marry Hua Yiyi, but I still want to enter the Sacred Pool for cultivation. Yiyi willingly gave up her chance for me. I hope, Empress, that you will honor your promise."
Hua Yiyi was stunned for a moment, then looked at Su Zhan angrily.
Are you really so repulsed by me? You're even willing to risk angering the Master to refuse? If that's the case, then wait to be taught a lesson by the Master!
Frustrated and angry, Hua Yiyi clenched her small fist, waiting to see Su Zhan being suppressed by the Empress.
Upon hearing these words, Mo Tian was also stunned.
Is this Su Zhan out of his mind? Daring to threaten the Empress? Does he really think the Empress cares about some insignificant Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect? He's truly seeking death!
Well, that's fine! Saves me the trouble of making a move later, hahaha!
Mo Tian felt delighted in his heart, sneering as he looked at Su Zhan.
As expected, it wouldn't be long before Su Zhan would be slapped to death by the Empress!
Inside the grand hall, the palace maids and eunuchs all coldly stared at Su Zhan, waiting for this person who dared to offend the Empress to pay the price for his arrogance.
Just as everyone thought Su Zhan had angered the Empress and that she would strike out in anger, behind the thin veil, the Empress's lips curled up, revealing a faint smile that was enough to drive countless men crazy. She spoke: "I admire you, and I grant you what you desire!"
