Rejection

"I may not be a genius, but I can..."

Su Zhan paused for a moment and said lightly, "Kill eight or ten people like you with just one punch!"

"You!"

Mo Tian was extremely angry. "If it weren't for you being a few years older than me, do you have the qualifications to speak to me like this?"

"Foolish!"

Su Zhan fell silent.

Should I go around telling everyone about my little problem of advancing from Opening Meridian Realm cultivation to the Peak of Barrier Master Realm in just a few months?

Mo Tian angrily said, "How dare you insult me!"

"No."

Su Zhan shook his head. "I am an honest person, I only speak the truth."

"You!"

This statement made Mo Tian's scalp tingle, and he shouted, "Uncle, disable him for me!"

"Alright!"

The old man in the Core Yuan Realm stared coldly at Su Zhan, about to make a move, when a woman in black approached with light steps.

"How dare you! This person is a guest of the Empress, how dare you offend her feelings!"

A guest of the Empress?

Upon hearing this, the old man immediately stopped and dared not continue his attack.

Mo Tian gritted his teeth. "I want to challenge you. Isn't that considered a violation?!"

"You are not even on the same level as me, and you want to challenge me?"

Su Zhan found it somewhat amusing.

He didn't expect that he would also be challenged by someone from a lower realm...

"Perhaps I am not your opponent now, but when I reach the late stage of the Barrier Master Realm after cultivating in the Sacred Pool, things will be different!"

"Are you also going to cultivate in the Sacred Pool, Young Master Mo?"

Hua Yiyi was momentarily surprised, then smiled and said, "It's a coincidence, Senior Brother Su is also going to the Sacred Pool."

"Him?"

Mo Tian sneered, "He's just someone from another country, what qualifications does he have to use the Sacred Pool? Just wait, he will definitely be expelled by the Empress!"

"Let's go, Uncle. After I break through, I will make him understand what a true genius is!"

"Alright!"

The old man nodded and followed Mo Tian as they left.

Su Zhan frowned, looking at Mo Tian's back.

"Senior Brother Su, don't be angry. That's just how Mo Tian is."

Hua Yiyi explained, "He is a very rare genius in our Kingdom of Huayue, always arrogant. He once said that if he had been born earlier, Li Changxing wouldn't be a problem. He's always like this, and his arrogance is not only directed at you."

"Well, take me to see the Empress."

Su Zhan didn't take it to heart, saying calmly.

Soon, he followed Hua Yiyi up the palace stairs in the Huayue Kingdom.

At first sight.

The main color of the Huayue Kingdom palace... was actually bright pink.

It seems that even as the Empress, she couldn't avoid having a woman's nature!

At the first meeting, in order to reduce the possibility of being rejected from entering the Sacred Pool, the Protagonist's Charm Halo had to come into play!

Thinking of this, Su Zhan opened the halo panel and activated the Protagonist's Charm Halo.

Suddenly, Hua Yiyi standing beside him suddenly felt that Su Zhan looked better than before. She automatically overlooked some of his shortcomings.

At this moment, her heart beat fast, and somehow she felt that Su Zhan, who was already extraordinary, became even more extraordinary!

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Hua Yiyi staring at him with a silly expression, Su Zhan asked in surprise.

"It's nothing."

Hua Yiyi blushed and turned to walk towards the palace.

When she thought that her master would soon arrange for her and Su Zhan to be engaged, she was filled with excitement.

Su Zhan also walked towards the palace.

Before entering, the palace servants in the corridor all looked in Su Zhan's direction.

Upon entering the palace, Mo Tian and the old man were already inside.

Seeing Su Zhan enter, Mo Tian sneered with disgust.

"Master, this is Su Zhan!"

Hua Yiyi said respectfully.

"Greetings, Empress!"

Su Zhan saluted with clasped hands, his gaze sweeping over Mo Tian and the others before falling directly on the Empress behind the gauze veil.

"So, you are Su Zhan, indeed... talented."

The Empress stopped her words, feeling somewhat confused.

Clearly, it was their first meeting.

But why does Su Zhan look so good and pleasant no matter how she looks at him?

For someone with her level of cultivation, he shouldn't be easily influenced by appearances.

Today, she suddenly developed a good impression of someone she had never met before, which is indeed very strange.

The powerful spiritual aura of the Empress surged in his mind, weakening the effect of the charm halo, and she continued, "I heard that you want to use the Sacred Pool?"

"Yes, that was also the agreement between me and Miss Yiyi."

Su Zhan nodded.

"Nonsense! What qualifications does he have to decide the use of the Sacred Pool?"

Mo Tian sneered.

The Empress said, "Mo Tian is right. Yiyi indeed doesn't have the authority to decide the use of the Sacred Pool. Moreover, our Huayue Kingdom's Sacred Pool has never been open to outsiders."

"Master..."

Hua Yiyi called out sadly.

The Empress understood and smiled, saying, "Of course, if you marry Yiyi, you will not be considered an outsider."

"Marry?"

Su Zhan was stunned.

Not only him, but Mo Tian also had a confused expression.

Pointing at Su Zhan, he exclaimed incredulously, "Your Majesty Empress, did you say that you arranged for Yiyi to be engaged to him?"

"Yes."

"Why him and not me?"

Mo Tian was somewhat annoyed. "I am truly a genius. Wait for two more years, after I turn sixteen, naturally, I can marry Hua Yiyi!"

Hmm?

Hua Yiyi furrowed her eyebrows.

Wait for two more years?

Heh heh!

By that time, Su Zhan will surely have left you, who knows where!

Besides, you're not as handsome as Su Zhan!

Thinking like this, Hua Yiyi spoke up, "Master, I will follow your arrangement!"

Implied in her words was as long as Su Zhan agreed, she wouldn't object.

The Empress looked at Su Zhan. "What is your answer?"

"I have no intention of marrying Miss Yiyi."

Su Zhan shook his head.

Hua Yiyi felt a little disappointed and whispered, "Su Zhan, don't you want to enter the Sacred Pool to cultivate?"

Su Zhan glanced at her, then looked directly at the Empress, his tone turning cold. "I will not marry Hua Yiyi, but I also want to enter the Sacred Pool to cultivate. Yiyi willingly gave me the opportunity. I hope, Empress, you can keep your promise."

Hua Yiyi froze for a moment, then looked at Su Zhan angrily.

Hua Yiyi froze for a moment, then angrily stared at Su Zhan.

Did I really disgust you so much?

Even if it means risking the anger of her master, he still refuses?

If that's the case, then wait to be dealt with by her master!

Hua Yiyi felt angry and embarrassed, clenched her small hands, and waited to see Su Zhan being reprimanded by the Empress.

After hearing these words, Mo Tian also froze.

Is Su Zhan insane?

Daring to threaten the Empress?

Does he really think the Empress cares about the nonsensical Yuntian Sword Sect?

He's seeking death!

Well, that's great! It saves me the trouble of taking action later, hahaha!

Mo Tian felt happy in his heart and sneered as he looked towards Su Zhan.

As expected, Su Zhan would soon be slapped to death by the Empress!

In the grand hall, the palace servants and attendants coldly stared at Su Zhan, waiting for the person who offended the Empress to pay the price for his arrogance.

Just when everyone thought that Su Zhan had provoked the Empress and she would surely attack in anger.

Behind the thin veil, the Empress's lips curled up, revealing a faint smile that was enough to drive many men crazy, as she spoke:

"I greatly admire you. Whatever you desire, I promise to give it to you!"
