Su Mo's simple praise, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, stirred up countless ripples in Ye Xinglan's heart.
"Su Mo praised me!"
He said I was cute!
At this moment, Ye Xinglan's mind was filled with Su Mo's praise of her cuteness.
Her delicate face flushed bright red in an instant, even her fair earlobes turned pink, and she looked like a steaming lobster, radiating heat.
Her previously puffed-out cheeks and defiant stance instantly crumbled, and she stammered, "I...I...I didn't..."
Ye Xinglan was so shy that she didn't even dare to look at Su Mo anymore. She could only lower her head and frantically rub the hem of her clothes with her fingertips.
"I'm cute too!"
Seeing Su Mo vigorously kneading Ye Xinglan's face, Xu Xiaoyan, consumed by jealousy, stretched her head and brought her fair face close to Su Mo's side, her meaning all too clear.
"!!!"
Both Gu Yue and Mu Xi were incredulous when they saw Xu Xiaoyan approaching them.
Mu Xi, in particular, even looked eager to try.
"Yes, yes, our Xiaoyan is very cute too!"
Su Mo smiled and reached out to pinch Xu Xiaoyan's fair and tender face twice.
Teasing a sweet and soft little girl is truly delightful.
"Hehe~"
Upon hearing Su Mo's praise, Xu Xiaoyan's dissatisfaction vanished instantly, replaced by a satisfied expression.
"Humph!"
Seeing that Xu Xiaoyan had once again stood up to compete with her for Su Mo's favor, Ye Xinglan silently added another mark against Xu Xiaoyan in her heart.
After Su Mo finished teasing Xu Xiaoyan, Ye Xinglan looked at Su Mo and hesitated for a long time before saying seriously, "Then Su Mo, you must remember to withdraw from the competition tomorrow morning!"
Su Mo waved his hand dismissively, saying, "Don't worry, a mere fourth-ring Soul Master isn't worth making me withdraw from the competition."
"???"
Seeing that Su Mo didn't seem to care about Yu Longxin at all, a hint of doubt flashed across Ye Xinglan's fair face.
In Ye Xinglan's view, Su Mo was the same age as her, and no matter how talented he was, he couldn't be a match for Yu Longxin, a Soul Master.
"hey-hey!"
Xu Xiaoyan seemed to see Ye Xinglan's confusion, let out a strange laugh, and proudly boasted to Ye Xinglan, "You don't know this, do you? Although Su Mo is about the same age as us, he is a Soul Venerable of level thirty-two!"
"A level 32 Soul Master!!!"
Upon hearing Xu Xiaoyan reveal Su Mo's cultivation level, Ye Xinglan first stared wide-eyed in disbelief, then breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
Now she no longer needs to worry about her family interfering with her relationship with Su Mo.
A ten-year-old Soul Master—even in the entire Shrek Academy, there are few who can compare.
However, after a brief moment of joy, Ye Xinglan still looked worried.
Yu Longxin is a Soul Master with a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring, and it's highly likely that he will be admitted to Shrek Academy's Inner Court in the future.
Although Su Mo's cultivation level as a Soul Venerable was enough to make him stand out among all his peers, it was still not enough in front of Yu Longxin.
Seeing this, Xu Xiaoyan continued, "I forgot to tell you, back then Su Mo didn't even use any soul skills, he killed a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear with a hundred years of cultivation without taking any damage with just a long sword."
During the month Xu Xiaoyan stayed at Su Mo's house, she learned a lot about Su Mo from Mu Xi and Gu Yue.
After hearing Mu Xi recount how Su Mo rescued her from the Dark Gold Terror Bear, Xu Xiaoyan wished she could take Mu Xi's place and stage that dreamlike encounter with Su Mo.
"???"
Xu Xiaoyan's words left Su Mo completely bewildered, and he subconsciously looked at Mu Xi.
Mu Xi blushed and smiled shyly at Su Mo.
In order to beautify Su Mo, Mu Xi simply omitted the part about Su Mo using the Seven-Day Breathing Technique.
"you sure?"
Ye Xinglan looked at Xu Xiaoyan in disbelief.
If what Xu Xiaoyan said is true, then Su Mo really does have the right to disregard Yu Longxin.
She knew all too well how powerful the Hundred-Year Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was; it was a being comparable to a Soul King.
Even a fourth-ring Soul Master like Yu Longxin would have to pay a considerable price to kill a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear with a hundred years of cultivation.
Wait, use the longsword!
Does that mean Su Mo has extremely high attainments in swordsmanship?
As a well-known sword fanatic at Shrek Academy, besides Su Mo, Ye Xinglan's favorite thing is swords.
The thought that Su Mo might have a lot in common with her in swordsmanship made Ye Xinglan's face flush with excitement.
If time allowed, Ye Xinglan would really like to discuss swordsmanship with Su Mo.
"Well, it's getting late!"
Su Mo glanced at the clock on the wall, then clapped his hands. "We should go back and prepare for tomorrow's match."
The women nodded in unison. Apart from Ye Xinglan, everyone else present was going to participate in the competition tomorrow.
Mu Xi, in particular, not only has to participate in the Soul Battle, but also has to get up early to participate in tomorrow's forging competition.
"Then I'll go up!"
At the elevator entrance on the fifth floor, Ye Xinglan, her face still flushed, excitedly greeted Su Mo.
"Ok!"
Su Mo waved to Ye Xinglan.
"I'm going back!"
The moment the elevator doors closed, Gu Yue snorted coldly and took the lead in breaking away from the group and leaving the crowd.
"Sister Guyue, wait for me!"
Seeing this, Xu Xiaoyan quickly followed.
"Junior..."
In the vast corridor, only Su Mo and Mu Xi remained in the blink of an eye.
Mu Xi bit her lower lip lightly, her cheeks flushed slightly, and her voice was so soft it was almost carried away by the night breeze.
"Junior..."
Afraid that Su Mo wouldn't hear her, Mu Xi called out softly again, her eyes filled with hesitation and shyness.
Seeing Mu Xi's hesitant expression, Su Mo immediately understood what was going on.
"You're cute too, senior!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Mo reached out and gently pinched Mu Xi's soft, jade-like cheek.
"ah--!"
Mu Xi gasped, her face instantly turning bright red. She hurriedly covered her face and fled like a punctured balloon.
Watching Mu Xi's retreating figure, Su Mo couldn't help but chuckle softly, muttering to himself, "This kind of life is really nice!"
"It would be even better if Tang San's family could die!"
Su Mo shook her head and slowly walked towards her room.
"Something's not right, someone's been here!"
The moment Su Mo opened the door and saw the strands of hair lying on the floor, she immediately realized that someone had been in her room.
"Oops, have we been found out?"
A sound like a silver bell rang out from all directions of the room.
Chapter 128 Prisoner
Su Mo looked in the direction of the sound and saw a petite black-haired girl sitting on the sofa with an umbrella, smiling at him.
"Dark Bell Nunnally!"
Upon seeing the person's appearance clearly, Su Mo was startled, but her expression remained unchanged.
Thanks to the information provided by Leng Yulai, Su Mo recognized the girl's origin almost the instant he saw her.
Apart from the elusive Supreme Master Demon Emperor, whose appearance Su Mo didn't know, Su Mo was intimately familiar with all the other high-ranking members of the Holy Spirit Sect.
Why did Nanali come to see me?
Su Mo's brain raced as he tried to recall exactly where he had attracted Nanali's attention.
"You are……?"
Su Mo, still pondering, spoke with a hint of doubt, pretending not to know Nanali, and subconsciously looking at her with a hint of wariness and defensiveness.
Seemingly sensing Su Mo's wariness and guardedness, Nanali extended her fair index finger to her red lips and said with a smile, "Little brother, don't be afraid, I just need your help with something!"
"I reject."
Su Mo rejected Nanali without even thinking.
The air suddenly froze, and the gentle smile on Nanali's face instantly vanished.
"Little one, I don't really like being rejected."
Nanali sighed softly, a hint of disappointment in her voice.
The next second, a terrifying pressure exploded in the room like a raging torrent.
Su Mo suddenly felt a tightness in her chest, and even breathing became difficult.
Nanali's terrifying pressure pressed down on Su Mo's shoulders like a heavy mountain, and no matter how Su Mo resisted, he could not budge it in the slightest.
Su Mo grunted and gritted his teeth, his chakra and soul power surging wildly within him as he struggled to keep from kneeling.
