Though it was just one word, it meant something entirely different depending on who said it. That "roll" contained heavy anger and thick sarcasm, as well as disdain for these envious and hateful fellows.
Mo Luo Xue had the right to do so. She looked down at everyone and threw out a map cannon.
The cannon exploded, leaving ripples everywhere. Everyone's face flushed red with anger, they wanted to stand up and argue with Mo Luo Xue, but looking at her stunning face and the icy, aloof aura around her, the anger they just conjured dissipated by half.
"Who do you think you are? You're just the eldest daughter of the Mo Family from Yi Kingdom." A sharp voice with thick sarcasm rang out. Everyone looked towards the source of the voice in the crowd.
There are always people in this world who are brave… or who like to court death.
He was a man with a pointed nose and a monkey face, but in contrast to his face, he wore a luxurious royal robe. The robe was made of fine silk and had a golden dragon coiled around the left chest, a clear sign of a royal descendant!
Mo Luo Xue didn't even glance at him. In her eyes, even looking at such a person once was too much. He was nothing but a clown.
"It's the sixth prince of Li Kingdom." Someone exclaimed, "He's actually here?! Wasn't it rumored that he was a dissolute playboy who didn't know any real knowledge? Why would he endure hardship to seek immortality?"
"The sixth prince of the Li Kingdom's royal family? He's got quite the background." Someone whispered.
"We're in for a show now."
The sixth prince of Li Kingdom, mentioned by everyone, slowly strolled out. His hands were clasped behind his back, as if he was an old god in a state of peaceful contemplation. His eyes occasionally swept across the surrounding crowd, filled with awe and fear, making his gaze at Mo Luo Xue all the more brazen.
“Oh, little sister, you're so young and already seeking immortality? How far have you progressed on the Jade Disc Path? Do you need your elder brother to help you out?” The sixth prince drew out a folding fan and opened it slightly, fanning himself in front of his chest. His eyes were full of the look of a hunter eyeing his prey.
Mo Luo Xue sighed, a hint of impatience on her face. Anyone would be unhappy with too many flies and mosquitos.
"Here we go again. It's true what they say about the sixth prince's dissolute behavior. He lost his virginity at the age of ten and earned the nickname 'Ten Lang'." Someone sighed, looking at the sixth prince.
Mo Luo Xue raised her sword and swung it fiercely. The sword energy that could cleave through gold and split rocks only left a white mark on the jade steps three meters away from her, but it was enough. The white mark represented a boundary, and anyone who crossed it would be executed on the spot.
The sixth prince narrowed his peach blossom eyes, looking at the white mark and said, "Little sister, you're the eldest daughter of the Mo family of Yi Kingdom, right? I've heard about you. Now that I see you in person, your reputation is indeed well-deserved. You're like the moon in the sky, or a beautiful flower on the ground, truly a celestial beauty."
Mo Luo Xue truly didn't even want to acknowledge him. She was completely disgusted by the sixth prince. Those hateful peach blossom eyes were like lasers, constantly scanning her.
Seeing that Mo Luo Xue ignored him, the sixth prince stepped forward to the white mark and chuckled, "How about I come to Yi Kingdom with a royal decree to propose marriage someday? A strong alliance between our two countries would surely be a grand event for the ages."
……… The only answer he received was the icy aura emanating from her.
The sixth prince's eyes flickered, but he quickly concealed it. He put on a radiant smile and said, "The person beside you is your brother, right? Mo Yi, the eldest son of the Mo family?"
Hearing Mo Yi's name, Mo Luo Xue instinctively turned her head, but that handsome yet annoying face still remained closed. A wave of annoyance welled up in her heart, but she didn't know where it came from.
What did it matter to her if Mo Yi passed or not?
But in a corner of her heart, Mo Luo Xue felt a little restless.
The sixth prince suddenly closed his folding fan and tapped it against his palm. He flashed a brilliant smile and said, "Alright, since we're all idle with nothing to do, let's make a bet! Let's bet whether your elder brother can break through this level before the deadline. If he can, I'll give you all the wealth of my manor these past few years. But if time runs out and your elder brother still can't break through…"
A green light flashed in the sixth prince's eyes, "How about you become my wife?"
Mo Luo Xue turned to face the sixth prince. She opened her lips, about to speak, but suddenly stopped. She turned her head and gave Mo Yi a meaningful look, then changed her reprimand to two words.
"Okay."
A commotion arose in the crowd. Everyone was stunned that Mo Luo Xue actually accepted the bet!
The sixth prince's eyes gleamed with a hint of triumph. Everything was going according to his plan. Mo Luo Xue was the eldest daughter of the Mo family, and her brother Mo Yi was the eldest son of the family, making him the first in line to inherit the vast Mo family. He was betting on Mo Yi's reputation. Mo Yi's reputation was directly related to the Mo family, and as the eldest daughter of the Mo family, Mo Luo Xue had to accept the bet!
Moreover, before causing trouble, the sixth prince had already investigated Mo Yi. Someone had secretly informed the sixth prince that they had seen Mo Yi among the last batch of people on the Jade Disc Path, which indirectly revealed Mo Yi's weak aptitude! With this bet, the sixth prince was confident of victory!
In the crowd, Yao Shi silently watched the sixth prince and Mo Luo Xue. The Confucian scholar beside him looked mysterious and said, "Yao Shixiong, why aren't you in a hurry? Your brother's sister is in trouble, shouldn't you step up and help?"
Yao Shi chuckled and said, "Why not take free money from my brother?"
The Confucian scholar laughed as well. He lowered his voice and said, "This sixth prince is really good at messing things up. He's just made an enemy of the Mo family and Li Kingdom."
Yao Shi looked at Mo Yi, who was sitting cross-legged with an expressionless face, and quietly said, "I don't know if Mo Yi brother is a monster, but I believe that as long as that sixth prince is physically strong, full of fighting spirit, unwavering in his will, and thinking normally, and he takes advantage of Mo Yi when he is most vulnerable, he can still die with a certain amount of dignity."
The Confucian scholar was stunned. After a moment, he laughed helplessly, "What a great truth, a true truth!"
At this moment, the crowd began to place bets on whether Mo Yi could break through the second level. Everyone's focus was on the handsome young man on the meditation cushion.
Time passed minute by minute, but Mo Yi didn't show any sign of waking up. The sixth prince became increasingly smug and, involuntarily, he stepped over the white line drawn by Mo Luo Xue and walked in front of Mo Yi.
The sixth prince circled around the meditation cushion where Mo Yi sat, constantly muttering, "Oh, well, people always have different levels. This shows that you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. If you're at the bottom, just stay at the bottom. Your shoes will never reach your head."
Mo Luo Xue stood on the side, arms crossed, watching the sixth prince. A hint of amusement flashed in her eyes.
Unaware of Mo Luo Xue's amusement, the sixth prince squatted down in front of Mo Yi, holding his folding fan and placing it under Mo Yi's chin. He sneered, "What a pity about this pretty little face, it looks like a woman's."
Suddenly, those eyes opened… they met!
The sixth prince's mocking smile froze. In his line of sight, that handsome face beyond compare was looking at him with an annoying smile.
"Who are you calling a woman? You're a moron!" Mo Yi smiled at the sixth prince, then raised his foot! He kicked the sixth prince hard in the chest!
Like a cannonball being fired, the sixth prince was thrown back into the crowd! He was still spitting blood and the sound of his broken ribs could be heard as he flew through the air.
Everyone was stunned. They were struck dumb, like they had been struck by lightning, as they watched the young man on the meditation cushion stand up. He nonchalantly rubbed his thigh, muttering obscenities, "I open my eyes and see a moron, what a mood killer."
Mo Luo Xue glanced at Mo Yi, then turned away and no longer looked at him. Someone seemed to sigh in relief.
