120: Chapter 120 Remember to dress cool!

Interesting.

Su Mo followed the two into the Hundred Flowers Palace. Before he could even sit down, someone from the group on the left chuckled:

"Sect Master Su, sit over here~ Our Hundred Flowers Honey Dew is a unique secret recipe; you can't drink it anywhere else~"

Her voice was playful, attempting to lead Su Mo to the seats of the 'Hundred Flower Concentration Art' lineage.

Almost simultaneously, a female Cultivator with a cold demeanor from the right spoke up, her icy gaze sweeping over the female Cultivator opposite her, and she said blandly:

"Sect Master Su, please sit over here."

"Only by clearing one's mind and calming one's Qi can one discern true knowledge, lest one's mind be disturbed by certain overly sweet things."

"Disturb one's mind?"

The female Cultivator on the left immediately retorted:

"I think Sect Master Su would freeze if he sat with you!"

"Always putting on a cold Face, like a block of ice, how can one comprehend the Dao?"

"Sect Master Su, don't listen to her. It's warm and comfortable over here, and we have delicious drinks!"

"You..."

The female Cultivator on the right's Face turned frosty. Just as she was about to retort, she heard a furious shout.

"Enough!"

Su Mo frowned, his gaze sweeping over the Cultivators of the two lineages.

He was here as a guest, not to take sides!

Too lazy to waste words, he waved his hand—

Bang! Bang!

Two exquisitely crafted jade tables immediately flew out from both sides, landing in the center of the main hall.

Amidst everyone's astonished gazes, Su Mo sat down directly in the middle, looking imposing.

"I'll sit here!"

Su Mo calmly looked at the two Palace Masters opposite him, whose expressions were subtle, and said blandly.

The people below had been arguing for a long time, yet these two sisters had not stepped forward to stop them. Clearly, this was the result of their deliberate indulgence or even tacit approval.

Su Mo was too lazy to play these little games with them.

The entire Hundred Flowers Palace immediately fell silent. Lin Chenxi on the left, seeing this, secretly sent a sound transmission.

Saintess Chu Qinghe quickly stepped forward, elegantly pouring wine for Su Mo:

"Sect Master Su, please try our Hundred Flowers Palace's specially made Hundred Flowers Brew..."

No sooner had she finished speaking than a cold-tempered female Cultivator, resembling a Saintess, from the right stepped forward almost simultaneously, holding an ice jade pot, and spoke in a clear voice:

"Sect Master Su, Ice Heart Jade Dew is even better for calming the mind and settling the Qi."

Two different wine cups were simultaneously placed on the table in front of Su Mo.

Their gazes briefly met in the air, as if invisible sparks flew.

Seeing this, Su Mo couldn't help but curse inwardly.

Damn it! Is this never going to end?!

Amidst their astonished gazes, Su Mo directly picked up both cups, poured them into an empty jade goblet in front of him, and downed it in one gulp.

The fragrance of a hundred flowers mixed with a refreshing taste, a warm sensation followed by a chilling aftertaste, making him shiver involuntarily:

"Dual Heavens of Ice and Fire, the taste is good."

Seeing Su Mo drink the wine, the atmosphere in the Hundred Flowers Palace seemed to become more harmonious. At the signal of the two Palace Masters, everyone began to clink glasses.

But only within their own lineage.

The two Palace Masters also drank their own, with no communication.

The scene appeared calm yet somewhat eerie.

Before long, music quietly began to play.

Over a dozen beautifully dressed female Cultivators, clad in light gauze and with bare, fair feet, gracefully flew into the center of the main hall and began to dance elegantly to the music.

Their dance moves were extremely graceful, and Su Mo was quite moved by them.

However, he quickly noticed that all these female Cultivators belonged to the 'Hundred Flower Concentration Art' lineage.

Meanwhile, the female Cultivators from the 'Cold Plum Proud Snow Art' lineage simply watched expressionlessly, some even frowning slightly.

Suddenly, a very soft snort came from among them:

"Flirting and being vulgar, how can this be the conduct of a Dao seeker?"

In an instant, the seemingly peaceful atmosphere in the main hall plummeted to freezing point!

The music abruptly stopped, and the dancing female Cultivators froze, their smiles fading.

"Junior Sister Ling Bo! What do you mean by that! We, fellow Disciples, are performing to welcome guests, how can it be vulgar!"

The female Cultivator named Ling Bo slowly stood up, her posture as straight as a cold pine, her eyes sharp:

"A person seeking the Dao, deliberately displaying their appearance and using their looks to attract attention, how is that different from a common dancer?"

"To welcome honored guests and display the grandeur of our Hundred Flowers Palace, what fault is there, you..."

Before she could finish, Lin Shuangning, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

"Junior Sister Hongxiu, Junior Sister Ling Bo is just straightforward; she means no harm."

"Her heart is set on the purity of the Dao lineage, not targeting any individual."

Her words seemed to be mediating, but in reality, she was showing favoritism.

"Sister... are you saying that the Dao lineage of our 'Hundred Flower Concentration Art' is impure?"

Lin Chenxi's voice was gentle, but her smile faded a bit.

"Sister..."

"Enough!"

Su Mo's calm and clear voice reached everyone's ears, carrying an undeniable authority that caused the atmosphere in the main hall to stagnate.

Damn it!

Three women make a play, how long will dozens of women argue for?!

Su Mo waved his hand, pointing at the dancing female Cultivators:

"You, leave!"

Then he turned to look at the female Cultivator named Ling Bo.

"You, go up and dance!"

The entire Hundred Flowers Palace instantly fell into dead silence. Everyone was stunned, including the two Palace Masters!

Ling Bo suddenly looked up, an expression of incredible astonishment appearing on her perpetually icy Face for the first time.

Seeing her still in a daze, Su Mo spoke again, his tone calm but carrying an undeniable authority:

"What? Not giving Face to me, your honored guest?"

He paused, then slowly added:

"Remember to dress cool. Wearing too much doesn't feel right."

Ling Bo's Face instantly turned cold, and the chilling Qi around her erupted uncontrollably. The ground beneath her feet quickly froze over with a layer of frost.

"You..."

"Sect Master Su!"

Lin Shuangning suddenly stood up, her voice bone-chillingly cold, carrying obvious anger.

"Isn't such a demand too rude!"

She could not stand by and watch her Disciple suffer such humiliation.

However, Su Mo acted as if he hadn't seen it, casually picked up his wine cup, took a sip, and said blandly:

"Then why don't you take her place?"

"Presumptuous!"

The numerous female Cultivators of the Hundred Flowers Palace all stood up in unison, whether from the Gentle Faction or the Aloof Faction, all staring intently at Su Mo.

Even Lin Chenxi, who was at odds with Lin Shuangning, frowned.

"Presumptuous? Heh!"

"I think it's your Hundred Flowers Palace that's being too presumptuous!"

Su Mo put down his wine cup, his gaze sweeping over everyone, and sneered:

"You keep saying I'm an honored guest, but what's the result?"

"From the moment I entered, it's been a struggle between two factions, covertly competing and constantly testing!"

"No good intentions at the banquet, no sincerity in the dance! You even condone your Disciples speaking disrespectfully!"

"Is this the sincerity of the Hundred Flowers Palace?"

Su Mo stood up, his gaze fixed on the two people in front of him:

"Listen carefully, I'm here to give you Face, not to watch your performance!"

He suddenly changed the subject, a slight smile playing on his lips, and chuckled:

"Oh, by the way, since you knew I was coming, I presume Old Man Yu informed you in advance."

"Did he tell you that Sun and his entire family are still lying on my flying boat?"

"Now, I give you two choices."

"Either dance for me, or..."

The smile on Su Mo's Face instantly vanished, replaced by an indifferent look in his eyes.

"I'll annihilate all of you!"
