Chapter 14: An Eye for an Eye

  At this moment, someone suddenly shouted, "Ah, there's someone under the bridge."

  Originally there was a white handkerchief falling from someone's sleeve and dropping into the lake, and when I looked down, I saw Su Mo lying sideways on the boat.

  Mo Wuhen's face was as beautiful as a precious jade, and when he lowered his eyes to look down, he saw the other person's ordinary face. A hint of mockery immediately flashed in his eyes. He thought that Mo Wuhen was originally a noble young master with elegant clothes and horses, but now he had to marry Su Mo, who had no merits or abilities?

  He is very proud, extremely proud, he is very annoyed, extremely annoyed.

  He chose Su Yuhu, who was more attractive in appearance.

  But the woman in front of him, her gloomy spirit lingering, made him feel annoyed.

  His face fell immediately.

  Although the other party was propping up his head with his hand, in a half-asleep and half-awake posture.

  Su Yu Hu immediately raised her chin, adorably tilted her head, and smiled: "Su Mo, another person?"

  Her tone was casual, but she deliberately emphasized the word "alone", implying that the other person was a loner. After speaking, she glanced at Mo Wuhen beside her and said in a coquettish tone: "Brother Wuhen, I just heard that there's a blacklist on the notice board of the Mo Gate, and Su Mo is actually on it. It seems she really didn't complete her task." She stood by Mo Wuhen's side, with a victorious smile at the corner of her mouth that was almost perfect.

  Upon hearing this, Su Mo opened his eyes indifferently and looked at the two people in front of him as if they were strangers. His voice was neither fast nor slow, "You... are very noisy."

  Mo Wuhen's brow furrowed slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in Su Yuhu's eyes.

  However, Mu Wuhen's gaze swept across her face, and his eyes quickly revealed a look of disdain.

  In his mind, he always thought... Su Mo was just pretending.

  Su Yuhu didn't intend to let Su Mo off easily. Her eyes flashed, and she suddenly hummed a soft tune, seemingly accidentally twisting her ankle, before gently leaning against Mu Wuhen's body. Mu Wuhen immediately wrapped his arms around her. Su Yuhu then gazed at Su Mo with a provocative glint in her eye, laughing triumphantly: "Su Mo, didn't expect to see you so soon, like a dog that's lost its home. This time, the Mo family will definitely drive you out. I'm afraid even the Su family won't want to take you in. Your fiancé doesn't like you either, Su Mo, you've lost!"

  She hooked up her lips and waited to see the other's extremely disheartened expression.

  How did you know... Su Mo slowly raised his head, looking at Su Yuhu with a carefree expression. His eyes were as dark as ink, and he said calmly: "Su Yuhu, you are really too boring... I have never considered you an opponent. A naive and ignorant woman like you, even if you go all out, can't hurt me in the slightest!"

  "You..."

  She didn't expect her to be like this, Su Yuhu's proud and satisfied smile disappeared in an instant.

  To speak of it, she extremely hated Su Mo, having hated him since childhood!

  The two of them grew up together since childhood, each being the legitimate daughter of the first and second houses of the Su family. It was clear that she herself was more outstanding than the other, but the Su family had always favored Su Mo more, taking better care of the children of the first house, so she had to compete with Su Mo at all times, even entering the Jianghu Mo Gate together, and would stop at nothing to snatch away each other's fiancé. It was clear that she had won a complete victory, but why did she seem so indifferent?

  She couldn't help but vent the resentment in her heart, and shouted in a shrill voice: "Su Mo, you cheap woman, don't be too smug." Her delicate face twisted even more.

  The sudden commotion caught the attention of the surrounding nobles who were admiring the lanterns. Some looked on with sympathy, others with scorn, and some with disdain...

  People came and went, at this moment Su Mo, Su Yu Hu, Mu Wu Hen became the focus of the whole scene.

  Among the crowd, several Mo Men disciples showed a thoughtful expression, "Unexpectedly, this Su Mo is quite elegant and refined, completely different from before."

  "In contrast, Su Yuhu was too unseemly!"

  "I heard Su Yu Hu claims to be the number one beauty of the Mo School, but after seeing her today, she's nothing special."

  Facing some new young men on the periphery who were pointing and whispering, Su Yuhu slightly bit her lip, her face pale and greenish-white, anxious to the point of almost shedding tears.

  Seeing the beauty beside him with tears in her eyes, Mo Wuhen immediately felt a pang of sympathy. He comforted Su Yuhu by patting her on the back, but in his heart, he felt an extra sense of disgust. His dark pupils hid a hint of cold smile, and his eyes were filled with even more mockery. This Su Mo was just an ordinary female disciple of the Ink Gate, with unremarkable martial arts skills and no special background, except that she was an orphan. What made her think she could act coquettishly in front of him?

  He glanced at her casually, stood with his hands behind his back, raised his head proudly and said from a superior position: "Su Mo, you actually hid very deeply."

  Immediately, a sarcastic glint appeared in his eyes, a look of disdain that everyone present could see.

  Mo Wuhen's face was expressionless, looking down at Su Mo with a sharp and sarcastic tone unique to noble sons: "At first, I knew you often came and went from the Mo residence, each time staying for a long time, just to get close to me. At this time, you still pretend to be this high-and-mighty noblewoman, trying to catch my attention, it's really not original at all!"

  He sneered and said in an even colder tone: "I admit it, you've changed a lot this time you came back.

  But no matter what tricks you use, even if your fancy tricks are endless, even if you strip naked and stand in front of me to seduce me, I absolutely, absolutely, absolutely will not — take a second glance at you.

  At this moment, he said three absolutes in a row.

  In an instant, a group of friends around her burst out laughing, and Su Yuhu also laughed through tears, feeling that she had finally vented some of her anger.

  This time it was Su Mo's turn to lift his dense eyelashes, and his amber eyes narrowed slightly as he gazed at him with an icy stare.

  This is the most unfunny joke she heard today.

  ……

  "What's going on? Why are you people making such a racket here? What kind of behavior is this?"

  At this time, an old man from Mo Men suddenly came forward and shouted loudly.

  On the other hand, several old men and a young handsome man walked over, heading in this direction. The man was calm and composed, with a gentle breeze.

  The man wore a white brocade robe, with a black gemstone sword at his waist. His face was calm and unruffled, like ice and snow, as if he were a beautiful jade statue. Under his casually messy hair, there was a flawless complexion, with eyebrows slanted like swords, a nose like a dark gallbladder, eyes like crystal jade, long fingers, shiny and transparent. A white embroidered robe adorned him beautifully, making him look elegant and extraordinary, noble and uncommon.

  Mo Wuhen was about to speak when he saw the white-clothed man and suddenly froze, not expecting it to be the handsome man who had just walked by here.

  At a closer look, he, also being a man, surprisingly did not know where he was and stood there speechless.

  Su Mo's eyes swept across the crowd, and she let out a mocking laugh. With an enchanting smile, she said, "Just now, Young Master Mu thought I was trying to seduce you everywhere, so I'll be frank with you! In the past, when I went to the Mu residence, it was only for family matters, and I had no relationship with Young Master Mu. Besides, my standards are very high, and I'm quite particular. Someone like Young Master Mu, with his looks, figure, family background, and character, is simply not worthy of my attention. If I were to seduce a man, it would only be someone like... that."

  As she spoke, Su Mo's jade-like fingers rose and swayed gently on the small boat, directly pointing at the handsome young man who had just arrived.

  As she made this move, the man in white suddenly turned his gaze, and his dark eyes slowly turned to her, with a deep and profound look.

  Su Mo stood upright and faced the man with a warm and elegant smile.

  Her smile was so alluring, as if it had a life of its own, and seemed to be beckoning me with an otherworldly charm.

  His face is as beautiful as a painting, his eyes are like the starry sky and the bright moon.

  After a while, he slightly hooked up the corner of his mouth and quietly flowed out a faint, shallow smile, but it was Su Mo's turn to feel a sudden thump in her heart.

  What a shameless woman! Muo's gaze swept coldly over Su Mo, and the flames in her eyes suddenly surged up.

  For him, Su Mo, who had been deeply infatuated with him all along, would actually flirt with another man? He couldn't have imagined that this woman he didn't even look at would mock and ridicule him, making it impossible for him to accept such a change in attitude and tone, and even more so, making him lose face.

  Just then, someone wondered, "By the way, who is that man opposite?"

  "You actually don't know him? He is Yi Xiao's Shu Shu."

  "So he was actually Master Yi, and his reputation for being handsome was indeed well-deserved. I heard that his abilities were also extraordinary."

  "Not bad, if I had to choose one, I would also choose Yi Shu's uncle."

  "This Su Mo, she really has guts."

  After a moment, Su Mo shifted her gaze away and smiled lightly as usual: "Marquis Mu seems dissatisfied. In fact, I am one who would rather have nothing than something mediocre. Unless someone has exceptional nobility, outstanding abilities that rank among the top, or stunning good looks that stand out from the crowd, I won't give them a second glance. Even if you, Marquis Mu, were to strip naked in front of me right now, I absolutely wouldn't spare you another look."

  She also said three absolutes. What a case of fighting poison with poison, tooth for tooth, and eye for eye.

  Mu Wuhen's eyes widened and she took a sharp breath: "You're simply... shameless!"

  Su Mo still smiled faintly, "You and I are just the same."

  Mu Wuhen was taken aback for a moment.

  Su Mo's calm gaze said: "Mu Gongzi, just now you said that the person who seduced you was me, and it was also you who accused me of being shameless. But what is your relationship with this young lady? Since you are holding my cousin in your arms, what qualifications do you have to criticize me? In this world, only those who truly care about me and are worthy of my love can criticize me, but you will never be qualified."

  Mo Wuhen didn't back down, and it wasn't until now that he realized this woman had never taken him seriously to begin with.

  Although he had disliked this woman before, but at this moment, the handsome face was entangled with complex emotions, and in his heart, there was an inexplicable aftertaste.

  In the distance, that extraordinary man still stood with an expressionless face, his arms crossed and leaning against a tree, exuding elegance and refinement. His pitch-black eyes gazed calmly at Su Mo, but it was unknown what he was thinking in his heart. Yet, those wise eyes seemed to be able to see through everything.
