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!
"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!"
