Chapter 805: Chapter 336: Enough for Several Feasts!
The White Tiger ran as if it were flying, its paws seemed to generate wind as it moved.
Inside its body, it held the Holy Artifact of Baihu City. The Inner Strength of the Emperor Heart Technique flowed continuously, but because it was inside its body, it could not dissipate into the heavens and the earth.
It could only blend into its physical form.
As a result, even though it did not know Qinggong, it could use this Inner Strength. Combined with the inherent traits of a mountain king, it could easily surpass many top martial artists in the Jianghu who specialized in speed.
The Holy Artifact had entered its body just a few days ago, and it was not yet familiar with it.
As it became more familiar, the effects in this regard would become increasingly evident.
The White Tiger ran ahead, with Xu Lu following behind.
Perhaps sensing Xu Lu’s speed, it brought out a competitive side of the White Tiger.
By its nature, it should typically turn around and swallow Xu Lu whole.
But it always remembered, Su Mo had once told it that Xu Lu was an ally and not to harm him.
So it simply decided to compete with Xu Lu in speed.
At first, Xu Lu didn’t notice, but every time he got close to the White Tiger, it would suddenly speed up.
For a while, he was at a loss for words.
Of course, he wouldn’t compete in stamina with a beast, so he just followed behind, too lazy to overtake.
This made the tiger quite proud, and it occasionally glanced back at Xu Lu, its eyes carrying a hint of provocative amusement.
Causing Xu Lu to curse inwardly, feeling like this creature was almost becoming a spirit.
Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun naturally noticed this, and for a moment, they were at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
But soon, Yang Xiaoyun frowned:
“Xiao Mo, today’s matter is still not settled.
“The High Priest and the Chief Steward have clearly decided to swallow this loss. They are intimidated by your martial arts and also fear us spreading the news.
“So they pinch their noses and accept all of this.
“However, in doing so, they may verbally submit, but not necessarily in their hearts.
“Outwardly, they probably won’t dare to make any moves, but we should be more cautious about any underhanded tactics.”
“I understand.”
Su Mo smiled at these words:
“The millennial Baihu City cannot be taken lightly.
“The High Priest is adaptable, which is admirable.
“But the more it is so, the more it shows she still has calculations in her heart.”
“Then, Xiao Mo, what do you think… how will she scheme against us?”
Yang Xiaoyun looked back at Su Mo, her eyes carrying a hint of cunning.
“Hahaha, Sister Xiao Yun is testing me, huh.”
Su Mo chuckled helplessly, pondered for a moment, then said:
“Sister Xiao Yun also mentioned earlier, they fear my martial arts, so they dare not make any moves openly.
“The only thing they can do is to conduct some not-so-obvious moves in secret.
“Most importantly, on the surface, I cannot accuse them.”
“It sounds quite challenging.”
Yang Xiaoyun slightly frowned: “If it were up to me, I wouldn’t think of a better way either.”
“Sister Xiao Yun, have you ever heard this saying?”
“Hm?”
“If you want to destroy him, you must first drive him mad!”
Su Mo said softly, “Do you think, tonight, we were impressive?”
“…You were impressive, I didn’t even make a move.”
Yang Xiaoyun rolled her eyes at Su Mo.
“Indeed, I was impressive.”
Su Mo shook his head with a smile: “The Divine Skill operated, phenomena manifested fully.
“The White Tiger that the White Tiger Clan couldn’t stop was also brought under my control and became your mount and mine.
“The High Priest and the Chief Steward used tricks in front, the cost being this White Tiger and their clan’s heirloom.
“The two of them dared not obstruct it and even offered Ten Thousand taels Silver as tribute.
“Moreover, it’s every year…
“With all that’s happened, I truly should be arrogant and conceited, thinking no one could touch me in Donghuang.
“That wherever I go, people would bow their heads and kneel, willingly calling me their lord.”
“Do you really think that?”
Yang Xiaoyun looked at Su Mo.
Su Mo smiled and shook his head, but his expression was rather serious:
“If I truly think that way, I’d be near my downfall.
“Heaven’s madness brings rain, and human madness brings disaster.
“The Jianghu is deep and people’s hearts are unpredictable. Now, bearing the title of Donghuang’s first, it already overwhelms me.
“There might be benefits, but it also attracts unnecessary attention.
“If I take pride in it and become arrogant, who knows when a master might appear and pull me down from this pedestal?
“Or if I think my martial arts are invincible, and become careless, I might fall into someone else’s scheme.
“Even if I’m invincible for a time, I might eventually fall into a trap.
“Even if I rely on my martial arts to remain Immortal, I might still end up with ruined reputation and drag those around me into danger.”
Yang Xiaoyun listened intently, about to speak, just as Su Mo continued:
“Did you notice, tonight, when I first mentioned the demand for money.
“What was her expression?”
“She looked as if she couldn’t believe it… although difficult, she agreed.”
“And afterward?”
“Afterward… she appeared quite happy, with no sign of displeasure, and no matter how much, she seemed willing to give.”
“That’s right.”
Su Mo nodded: “Moreover, I estimate, next year, what she gives to Ziyang Escort Agency will not merely be ten thousand taels. On top of this ten thousand, she might offer gold and silver jewelry, pearls, jade, and various treasures.”
