Chapter 1425: Su

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

Su Mo followed Lai Yu and went around Red Dragon Camp.

The halls in Red Dragon Camp were arranged in an orderly manner. There were 10 halls in a group and 10 groups formed a row. There were more than 30 rows, totaling up to about 3,000 halls.

The hall of every group was numbered accordingly.

Soon, Lai Yu brought Su Mo to a hall on the extreme left.

The doorpost of the hall was labelled number 29, meaning it must be where squad 29 was located.

“Shangguan Hao, this is squad 29. You shall stay here!” Lai Yu told Su Mo as he stood before a hall.

“All right, thank you!” Su Mo nodded and thanked Lai Yu.

“This is your armor. You have to put on armor in Red Dragon Camp!”

Lai Yu flipped over his palm. He took out some red armor from the storage ring and said, “From now on, you are a soldier of squad 29 in Red Dragon Camp. I am Lai Yu, the leader of squad 29. You have to take instructions from me. If you dare to disobey me, you will receive military punishment!”

“I understand!” Su Mo stretched out his hand and took the armor.

“Great!” Lai Yu nodded.

At that moment, some soldiers were coming out from the halls of squad 29. There was eight of them in total.

“Boss, who is he?”

“Is he our new member?”

A few of them asked Lai Yu as they looked at Su Mo.

“This is Shangguan Hao. He is your new member!” Lai Yu said and nodded.

“Oh? His cultivation level is quite high!” The few of them sized Su Mo up and noticed that he was at Rank 8 Martial Emperor Realm.

“How do you do!” Su Mo cupped his fist at them and sized them up.

Some of them were tall and some of them were short. There were also fat ones and skinny ones. Other than Lai Yu, whose cultivation level was at the Peak of Rank 9 Martial Emperor Realm, the rest of them were either at Rank 7 or Rank 8.

The cultivation level of these people was high, or even higher than the disciples of Shenwu Academy not due to their talents. It was simply due to their age as they were older and had spent a longer time working on their cultivation.

“How do you do, Brother Shangguan!”

“Nice to meet you!”

When the soldiers saw that Su Mo behaved courteously toward them, they treated him neutrally. They did not like him or detest him.

“Hohoho, Shangguan Hao has been recommended by the Eighth Prince!” Lai Yu said with a smile and light flashed across his eyes.

“Oh!” When the soldiers heard that, they were surprised. Since Su Mo had been recommended by the Eighth Prince, he must be from his faction.

The soldiers became silent. Although they did not belong to any faction, they knew that Lai Yu and Zhu Ying’s relationship was special.

Zhu Ying was a supporter of the Third Prince.

Since Shangguan Hao had joined squad 29, he would have a hard time.

“Boss, please continue with your conversation. We have to work on our cultivation!” They told Lai Yu and returned to their respective hall.

When Su Mo saw their reaction, light flashed across his eyes. They knew that he was recommended by the Eighth Prince and they deliberately kept a distance from him.

“Shangguan Hao, you can take a rest!” Lai Yu waved at Su Mo and left.

Su Mo sighed and walked into his hall.

The hall was small and it was about 200 feet wide. Although the hall was small, it had everything that was required. There was a living room, a cultivation chamber and a bedroom.

Su Mo sat in the living room and he had put on the red armor that Lai Yu had given him. He looked awe-inspiring, like a General.

This is made of Upper Imperial grade! Su Mo was shocked when he looked at the armor that he had put on. Special material had been used to refine the armor and it was great for defense and protection.

As Su Mo was sitting in the living room, he lowered his head and pondered. The soldiers in Red Dragon Camp assume different positions according to their abilities.

If he challenges his leader and defeats him, he will be able to take over his position. In that case, he would have to defeat Lai Yu in order to assume the position of a squad leader.

However, even if he managed to defeat Lai Yu, he would still be under Zhu Ying’s control. He was still in a dangerous position.

Most importantly, Su Mo had no intention of climbing the career ladder of Red Dragon Camp as Gu Tianyi had intended him to. He only wanted to stay in the Camp for a short while.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

At that moment, someone knocked on the door.

Su Mo used his spiritual senses and looked out. He was surprised to see that one of the soldiers from squad 29 was knocking on his door. This person was fat and his eyes were so small that Su Mo could only see two lines on his round face. He looked out of proportion in his red armor.

In a flash, Su Mo came to the door and opened it.

“Hi, Brother Shangguan, can I come in?” The fat guy asked softly with a smile. He looked around and acted like he had something to hide..

“Please come in!” Su Mo did not know what his intentions were but he still invited the fat guy into his hall.

“What’s up, brother?”

Su Mo asked curiously after he had shut the door and showed the fat guy to a seat.

“Brother Shangguan, let me introduce myself. My name is Heng Fei!” The fat guy said, smiling.

“Hi!” Su Mo said and nodded.

“Hehe!”

Heng Fei laughed and said, “Brother Shangguan, I am here to tell you that if you wish to stay on in squad 29, you will have to be mentally prepared!”

“What do you mean?” Su Mo asked, looking baffled.

“Are you not recommended by the Eighth Prince? Our squad leader and squadron leader are the Third Prince’s men!” Heng Fei said softly.

“Oh?” Su Mo smiled when he heard that. He then cupped his fist at the fat guy and said, “Thank you for telling me!”

“Are you not worried?” Heng Fei looked at Su Mo, with his eyes glittering.

“Why should I be worried?” Su Mo asked.

“They will torture you. They did so previously to two of the First Prince’s men!” Heng Fei said.

“Thank you for warning me, Brother Heng. May I know why you are doing this for me?” Su Mo asked flatly and looked unaffected.

“This...hehehe, I just hope to have one more friend!” Heng Fei laughed and replied.

Su Mo squinted his eyes and looked at the fat guy. He felt that the fat guy was not all that he seemed, but he was unable to pinpoint what was going on below the surface.

The fat guy was also at Rank 8 Martial Emperor Realm.

“Is that so? Thank you for being my friend!” Su Mo said with a smile.

“Hehehe, I know that Brother Shangguan is not an ordinary person and it is my honor to have you as a friend!”

Heng Fei said meaningfully. He then stood up and cupped his fist at Su Mo and said, “Brother Shangguan, take care. I will make the first move!”

“I shall not see you off then!” Su Mo sad.

Heng Fei then left Su Mo’s hall.

Su Mo sighed after Heng Fei had left. He found it weird that Heng Fei had come to warn him.

He shook his head and shut the door. Just as he was about to work on his cultivation, light suddenly flashed across his eyes and he stared at the seat which Heng Fei was previously sitting on.

A tiny word, Su, was engraved on the seat.
