Chapter 2260: He Has Ulterior Motives
Su Mo found the Palace Administration Hall. It was the same Hall that he had gone to when he had first come to Human Palace.
Su Mo had successfully completed the process to enter the Inner Palace and he had become an Inner Palace Disciple.
As long as one became a True God, he could immediately enter the Inner Palace.
While Su Mo was registering to get into the Inner Palace, he had registered his name as Duan Jingtian. The minute the disciples heard his name, they started to take note of him.
After all, he was well-known. Even after so many years, many disciples still remembered him.
The Inner Palace occupied a large area. There was a large stretch of courtyards in the accommodations of the disciples.
Su Mo soon found his courtyard and saw that it was huge. There was nothing inscribed on the board of the gate.
Whoosh!
Su Mo took out his sword and brandished it at the board. Soon, he had inscribed the words, Jing Tian Mansion, on the board.
He knew that all the Inner Palace Disciples had their own courtyards and they had the freedom to name it. He had thus named it Jing Tian Mansion.
The courtyard was huge. There were a few rooms and a garden with a pond, similar to a small mansion.
Su Mo found a cultivation room and started to work on his cultivation.
The cultivation room for the Outer Palace Disciple was nothing compared to that of the Inner Palace Disciples.
There was a powerful array to help the Inner Palace Disciples absorb the energy from the area.
Su Mo took out some Dawn Stones and started to absorb the Energy. However, he did not activate his Devouring Primordial Spirit.
He still had around 500,000 Dawn Stones and they could last him for a period of time.
He intended to deplete his Dawn Stones before he went out to earn more resources.
After he had reached the True God Realm, the efficacy of the Lower-grade Dawn Stones had diminished as well.
Su Mo was no longer refining the Chaotic Energy but he had to refine the pure Origin Energy.
I wonder if I can get some Chaotic Dawn Stones from Human Palace! Su Mo said to himself. The efficacy of the Chaotic Dawn Stones would definitely be better than the Five Elements Dawn Stones.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door outside the courtyard.
Su Mo activated his Spiritual consciousness and he raised his brows when he saw two ladies standing outside. One of them was petite and the other was beautiful.
They are here again!
Su Mo took a deep breath. He knew that the two of them had looked for him while he was cultivating in seclusion. After he had come to the Inner Palace, the two of them went there to look for him again.
Su Mo stopped cultivating and went to open the gate.
“Welcome, ladies!” Su Mo said with a smile as he looked at the two ladies.
Qin’er was in a pink leather skirt and she looked adorable. Luo Yu was in a white dress and she looked elegant.
“Duan Jingtian, congratulations! You have reached the True God Realm!” Qin’er smiled as she sized Su Mo up.
“I must congratulate you as well. You have had a breakthrough!” Su Mo smiled and said. He could tell that Qin’er had advanced to Rank 1 Advanced True God Realm.
When they were at the Spatiotemporal Region, Qin’er had still been a Rank 1 Middle True God.
“Hehe! With my talent, it is a given for me to have a breakthrough!” Qin’er said proudly and smiled.
“Duan Jingtian, are you not inviting us in?”
At that moment, Luo Yu, who had been keeping quiet, spoke.
“Please come in!”
Su Mo extended his hand and invited the two of them into the courtyard.
The three of them sat around a stone table in the courtyard.
“Duan Jingtian, tell me! How did you manage to enter level 18 at the Lava Cave?”
Qin’er asked curiously as she shifted forward and looked at Su Mo with her big bright eyes.
Luo Yu did not say a thing but simply looked at Su Mo. Apparently, she was curious as well.
“Hoho, when one is powerful enough, they will be able to enter level 18!” Su Mo laughed as he spoke. He would not tell them of his identity.
“Come on! Cut the crap!” Qin’er pouted her lips when she heard what Su Mo had said.
“By the way, Miss Qin’er, how did you manage to get the deacon to bring me into the palace?” Su Mo asked.
He knew that Qin’er had to be from a special background and he wanted to find out more about her.
“Hehe! I just needed to open my mouth and here you are!” Qin’er said proudly.
“Oh? What is your background, Miss Qin’er?” Su Mo asked.
“Qin’er’s father is one of the Grand Elders. He is Xuan Tian Supreme Being!” Luo Yu said.
“I see!” Su Mo was enlightened. No wonder she could help him. Her father was a Supreme Being.
“Her grandfather is the Palace Master!” Luo Yu continued.
When Su Mo heard that, an indistinctive light flashed across his eyes.
The Palace Master of Human Palace?
Su Mo was excited. With Qin’er’s background, she would be able to help him carry out his plan.
“Pardon my ignorance. I didn’t know that Miss Qin’er was of a special stratum!”
Su Mo stood up hastily. He cupped his fist at Qin’er and said, “Thank you for bringing me into the palace, Miss Qin’er!”
“Alright, enough of that! You don’t have to thank me!”
Qin’er shrugged it off and asked curiously, “Duan Jingtian, I have heard that you possess the Great Rotating Sacred Sword Primordial Spirit. Other than that, what other special skills do you possess?”
Qin’er was curious. Based on the Great Rotating Sacred Sword Primordial Spirit alone, it was impossible for Duan Jingtian to enter level 18 at the Lava Cave even though he was a Rank 4 Empty God.
Thus, she was eager to know if Duan Jingtian possessed some special skills.
“I have a powerful Blood Force.” Su Mo had no choice but to make that comment.
“What Blood Force do you possess?” Qin’er and Luo Yu asked simultaneously.
“The name of this Blood Force is not known. It has great defense power and it has helped me fend off the power of the Fire Properties at level 18!” Su Mo explained.
“I see!”
Qin’er and Luo Yu nodded. The Blood Force was geared toward defense. No wonder it could withstand the power of the Fire Properties at level 18!
“Miss Qin’er, I am new to Human Palace. I will need you to look out for me in the future!” Su Mo said with a smile. He would have to get close to Qin’er.
Her grandfather was the Palace Master and Su Mo had to get his support.
“Sure! I will look out for you!”
Qin ‘er nodded and said, “If there is an opportunity in the future, we can go out together to toughen ourselves!”
“Sure!” Su Mo smiled. He was amazed by Qin’er’s innocence. She was not a scheming person!
Luo Yu sat quietly to one side and watched Su Mo and Qin’er, with her brows knitted.
She did not say a word.
After Qin’er and Su Mo had chatted for a while, Qin’er and Luo Yu left Su Mo’s courtyard.
Su Mo sat alone in the courtyard and lowered his head to ponder. He planned to meet up with Qin’er more often in the future.
He would like to find out more about the Palace Master and the elders, especially their views on Di Yihun and Tuoba Qingyun.
First, he had to work on Qin’er.
After sitting in the courtyard for a while, Su Mo entered the cultivation room again to work on his cultivation.
…
Yue Qin Garden.
Yue Qin Garden was Qin’er’s courtyard. Her name was Ji Yueqin and thus she named the courtyard after her.
Luo Yu stood in front of Qin’er at the courtyard.
“Qin’er, don’t get too close to Duan Jingtian!” Luo Yu warned Qin’er.
“Why?” Qin’er asked, looking baffled.
“Although Duan Jingtian is talented and he has a powerful Blood Force, he is not a gifted genius. I believe he has an ulterior motive in getting close to you!” Luo Yu said.
“What motive does he have?” Qin’er asked with a frown.
“It is obvious. No man would not want to get close to you given your status!” Luo Yu replied grimly.
As the granddaughter of the Palace Master and Xuan Tian Supreme Being’s daughter, many men were eyeing Qin’er.
It was apparent that the one who could win Qin’er’s heart would become influential in Human Palace.
Luo Yu reckoned that Duan Jingtian had an ulterior motive and he already knew about Qin’er’s background.
“I don’t think so!” Qin’er said hesitantly. She was aware that many disciples were trying to get close to her.
However, she believed that Duan Jingtian, whom she had met coincidentally at the Spatiotemporal Region, did not have any ulterior motive.
“You will find out in the future!” Luo Yu said and smiled coldly. They would find out soon if Duan Jingtian was up to no good.
Qin’er nodded. However, she was not concerned about it. She was usually not affected by people who tried to get close to her.
Even if Duan Jingtian had designs on her, he would not succeed in his plan.
