Warrior's Promise

In the tavern, many people were talking about Su Mo, but they were not aware that Su Mo was right beside them.

Su Mo was drinking alone while meditating. There were only five months left until the wedding of Shangguan Hao and Xi'er, also the appointed duel between him and Shangguan Hao.

Time was running short. He needed to combine his Spiritual Spirals and reach the Martial King Realm as soon as possible. Otherwise, he would lose the duel.

Although he had incredible cross-level combat strength, he was still way below Shangguan Hao.

A Martial King Realm expert was not at the same level with a Martial Royal Realm expert.

Normally, a hundred Peak Martial King Realm martial artists could not defeat one Lv 1 Martial Royal Realm expert.

Moreover, Shangguan Hao's talent was also incredible. He was definitely not a normal Martial Royal Realm martial artist!

"I should increase my cultivation first!"

Su Mo decided to reach the Martial King Realm before visiting the Mist Mountains.

Although his five elements cultivation skills had all changed into Imperial ones and he had combined many of his Spiritual Spirals, his strength was not improved at all.

It was because he could not combine his five elements Dark Force.

Although he had practiced each of the five cultivation skills to the first level, it still took time to learn the balance between them before he could combine the element Dark Force again.

Su Mo did not want to waste any time, so he immediately left the hall.

He ordered a luxury room in this tavern and went to his room.

Many customers' eyes glittered upon seeing Su Mo's back.

Su Mo's grey hair had already caught many people's attention.

In the room, he sat cross-legged on his bed and immediately started combining the element Dark Force.

Only by combining the element Dark Force could he be confident of his strength again. Otherwise, it would be really troublesome if the Netherworld Devil Sect sent assassins to kill him.

The cultivation skills had all changed, and each of the element Dark Force was different from before. He had to keep trying to find the balance between them.

He led Gold and Earth Dark Force to his fingertips and started to combine them.

The two element Dark Force crashed instantly when they met.

However, each power of the two element Dark Force was close, plus the fact that Su Mo had experience of doing this, he soon found the balance and could maintain the combined state for a short time.

At this point, his Messaging Charm vibrated. Hong Qingxuan had arrived at the Southern-glory City.

Then, Su Mo told her the tavern and the room number he was in.

"Knock! Knock! Knock!"

About 15 minutes later, someone knocked on his door.

Su Mo smiled and immediately went to open the door.

"Swoosh!"

The moment Su Mo opened his door, a fragrant wind blew on his face and a gentle, girlish touch hit his body. The comer directly held him in the arms.

"Uh!"

Su Mo stood stiffly and saw Hong Qingxuan in his chest.

"Brother Su Mo, I thought you're dead! I thought that I could never see you again!"

Hong Qingxuan burst out in tears, which moistened Su Mo's bosom.

"Haha, you silly girl. How can I die?!" Su Mo smiled and stroke on her hair.

"Master said that you're dead! It really scared me!"

Hong Qingxuan was still holding Su Mo tight with her slender arms as if Su Mo would disappear.

Su Mo was moved. How could he not know Hong Qingxuan's affection to him!

"This girl!"

Su Mo sighed as his heart was softened. He also reached out his hands to hold Hong Qingxuan.

As if time had stopped, the two youths held each other quietly.

After a short while, Hong Qingxuan left Su Mo's arm. Her face was flushed throughout like a ripe peach. She was so adorable!

She took a glance at Su Mo, lowered her head and whispered, "Brother Su Mo, sorry... I... I was just so excited!"

Hong Qingxuan was extremely embarrassed for what she just did.

She was indeed too excited. Otherwise, as a restrained girl, she would never dare to initiatively hold Su Mo like this.

Recently, under the shadow of Su Mo's death, she was empty as if she had fallen into the deepest abyss.

However, seeing Su Mo in front of her, how could she stay calm?!

"I know!" Su Mo nodded and then carefully and gently wiped the tears on her face.

Her face was hot and utterly blushed even with her ears. Her body was also quivering.

She really enjoyed Su Mo's gentle eyes.

"Qingxuan, come in!"

They then both entered the room.

They sat face to face at a desk.

Hong Qingxuan still lowered her head like a child who made a mistake. She dared not to make eye contact with Su Mo.

"Qingxuan, is your master alright?"

Su Mo asked a question he wanted to know for a long time.

"She's great!"

Hong Qingxuan nodded and raised her head, looking at Su Mo with keen eyes. "Brother Su Mo, how exactly had you offended my master?"

She had been troubled by this question for a long time. She thought that something must have happened between her master and Su Mo!

No matter how many times she had asked her master, she did not get the answer, which made her depressed.

Su Mo fell silent upon hearing this. He thought for a while and decided to tell her the truth.

Hong Qingxuan was such a simple girl, and he clearly knew her affection to him. He did not want to hide anymore.

He would never toy with her feelings, otherwise, it would hurt her much more with time being.

The thing between him and Qian Xunyue had happened, and it could not be hidden forever.

Moreover, this kind of secret was an insult to Hong Qingxuan.

The other thing that she needed to know was that his aim had always been Xi'er.

This had to be made clear too.

Su Mo was not a playboy, and he would never want to hurt Hong Qingxuan.

While looking at Hong Qingxuan's beautiful face, he really could not bear to hide the truth anymore. It was best to tell her all of the truth.

Hong Qingxuan was confused upon looking at Su Mo's complicated face. Suddenly, she had a bad feeling rising in her heart.

"Qingxuan, there are many things that you don't know about me. I'd like to tell you the truth. All of them!" After a long silence, Su Mo said with a solemn face.

"What things?" Hong Qingxuan looked at Su Mo with keen eyes.
