Warrior’s Promise - Chapter 1258

Chapter 1258: 1258

Su Mo called out to the Flaming Ghost Sage a couple more times, but he continued to ignore him .

 Su Mo shook his head resignedly and stopped calling him . He started contemplating on his own .

 He did not bother to think about the Heavenly Punishment since it had no impact on him . He needed to figure out what to do in his current situation .

 After giving the matter some thought, he thought it would be best to go to the inner mansion of Huoyuan Peak . It was a much better option than joining other factions .

 Moreover, with Grand Master Huoyuan backing him up, even the Taishi Family could not lay their hands on him easily, let alone Taishi Xuan and You Tianhan .

 This would give Nie Qian and Han Ying better protection as well .

 However, Instructor Mu Li had told him before the fight with Leng Jiang that he had only a month to think about the offer . He will lose the chance after the deadline .

 Now that a month had passed, he was not sure if Grand Master Huoyuan would still take him in .

 Of course, he would have to try .

 Su Mo then left his tower and headed for Instructor Mu Li’s place .

 He would have to use Instructor Mu Li as an intermediary since he could not go to Huoyuan Peak directly .

 Su Mo soon arrived at the courtyard in front of Instructor Mu Li’s place . He quickly knocked on the door .

 However, there were no reply . Instructor Mu Li was not here .

 Su Mo started waiting resignedly in front of the door .

 After six hours, Instructor Mu Li finally came back!

 “Swish!”

 Accompanied by a gust, Mu Li flew in in her elegant white dress and landed beside Su Mo .

 “What are you doing here?” Mu Li asked coldly .

 “Um… Instructor Mu Li, I wanted to ask if Grand Master Huoyuan is still willing to take me in?” Su Mo mumbled with an awkward expression .

 Having turned down Grand Master Huoyuan’s offer before, it was embarrassing to accept him again .

 “Have you thought it through?” Mu Li asked, poker-faced .

 “I’ve thought it through!” Su Mo said and nodded .

 “Follow me!” said Mu Li in a light voice, turning around and flying away .

 Su Mo followed immediately .

 They soon arrived at the gate of inner mansion and went inside .

 Though it was not the first time Su Mo had entered the inner mansion, he was still astonished by the countless mountains floating in the vast sky . They were full of a majestic aura .

 “Swoosh! Swoosh!”

 Mu Li and Su Mo flew towards Huoyuan Peak where Grand Master Huoyuan was .

 They quickly landed on the summit of Huoyuan Peak .

 The gigantic Huoyuan Peak was bigger than all the Nine Peaks of the Celestialspirit Sect, but it was extremely quiet due to its sparsely inhabited state .

 Led by Mu Li, they arrived at the central hall .

 Then, they proceeded to wait quietly in front of the door .

 “Come in!” a deep voice came from the palace a little later .

 Mu Li pushed the door open and led Su Mo into the palace .

 Inside the palace, a slightly overweight, white-headed man sat cross-legged on a futon, his eyes closed . He had not changed at all since the last time Su Mo met him .

 “Instructor, Su Mo’s here!” Mu Li bowed as she walked towards Grand Master Huoyuan .

 “A pleasure to meet you, Sir!” Su Mo also bowed . He had to be polite since he was asking for help .

 Grand Master Huoyuan’s eyes widened on his wrinkled face . He gazed silently at Su Mo with a deep and mystifying look .

 “You would only come to me when you have nowhere else to go?” Grand Master Huoyuan asked calmly .

 “Err… ”

 Su Mo felt a little awkward . It seemed that the Grand Master was well aware of his situation, knowing that he only came because of desperation .

 “I am indebted to you for holding me in high regards . I was too rude and disrespectful!” Su Mo said, cupping his hands together .

 “You are the only one who had rejected to become my disciple in these last few thousand years!” said Grand Master Huoyuan .

 Others always begged for his acceptance, but the situation was reversed with Su Mo . He had to go and invite Su Mo to be his disciple many times .

 Not knowing what to reply, Su Mo smiled awkwardly .

 Grand Master Huoyuan thought for a while and said, “Find yourself a place to stay on the mountain!”

 Su Mo’s heart was filled with joy . He did not think that the Grand Master would agree so easily .

 He had thought that the Grand Master would purposely make things difficult for him—like forcing him to apologize or doing things like that . He had not expected such generosity .

 “Thank you, Sir!”

 Su Mo cupped his hands together and asked tentatively, “Sir, I have two very good friends . Can they stay with me on the mountain?”

 Grand Master Huoyuan’s face showed a slight frown .

 Seeing his expression, Su Mo’s hopes looked to have been dashed . If the Grand Master did not agree, he would be safe but Nie Qian and Han Ying would be in trouble .

 “Sure!” Grand Master Huoyuan said a few moments later, uncreasing the furrow on his brows .

 “Thank you very much, Sir!” Su Mo was very pleased . Now that Grand Master Huoyuan had agreed, he, Nie Qian, and Han Ying would have nothing to worry about .

 All three of them would nominally be disciples of Grand Master Huoyuan, living on Huoyuan Peak . No matter how insolent Taishi Xuan and You Tianhan were, they would not dare to come at them brazenly .

 “Go now!” Grand Master Huoyuan said . He casually waved his hand, sending Su Mo away .

 “Farewell, instructor!” Su Mo bowed toward the Grand Master and left the palace .

 After Su Mo was gone, Mu Li looked at Grand Master Huoyuan and complained, “Instructor, you’re going to agree that so easily?”

 Mu Li was a little sulky inside . They had invited Su Mo to Huoyuan Peak multiple times, but he had rejected every single offer .

 How could Grand Master Huoyuan just take in such an arrogant and rude person so casually!

 Mu Li respected Grand Master Huoyuan very much . That was why she felt irritated by Su Mo’s disrespect .

 If she was the one making the decision, she would never allow Su Mo to stay in Huoyuan Peak . Let him suffer and reflect on his mistake!

 “It’s normal for young people to be proud!” Grand Master Huoyuan chuckled as he shook his head .

 “You were too easy on him!” Mu Li grumbled .

 “His talent is way higher than yours, whether in martial arts or craftsmanship!” said Grand Master Huoyuan . He had only agreed to take Su Mo in because he thought highly of Su Mo’s talent .

 He was not aware of Su Mo’s special body constitutions, or he would have taken him in as a pro-disciple .

 Although he was a craftsman looking for an outstandingly talented heir, he also saw talent in martial arts as an important requisite .

 If someone was not supremely gifted in martial arts, he could not be an expert . How then could he become a Master Craftsman?

 Mu Li became recalcitrant upon hearing the Grand Master’s words and asked, “Is he really that strong, Instructor?”

 Mu Li questioned Grand Master Huoyuan’s judgement . She did not accept Su Mo’s high talents .

 She was an outstanding genius in both martial arts and craftsmanship . Was Su Mo much more talented? How could that be possible?

 Forget about his talent in craftsmanship . Let’s just talk about gift in martial arts!

 Su Mo was indeed extraordinary . He had a special body constitution and an extremely strong combat prowess . But she was more or less his match .

 She had reached Lvl 5 Martial Honored Realm in her fifties, and had almost become a Holy Son when she was a disciple of the Academy .

 Su Mo’s talents were much higher than hers?

 That was a huge exaggeration!

 Grand Master Huoyuan did not respond to Mu Li . He let out a sigh, shaking his head and saying, “It’s a shame that he is not ambitious in craftsmanship . What a shame!”
