Warrior's Promise

“What’s wrong, Qingxuan?”

Su Mo observed Yun Youyou’s trance and hurriedly asked. He was worried that Yun Youyou would adopt a new mentality after losing her memories for a long time, and thus be reluctant to regain her memories.

“Nothing!” Yun Youyou shook her head and asked, “Is the Ancient Dream Grass hard to find? Should I ask someone from the tribe to get if for me?”

She wanted to first obtain the Ancient Dream Grass before deciding whether or not to regain her memories by devouring it.

“No way!” Su Mo immediately shook his head and rejected, “Only the two of us can seek it. We must not let the Sun Moon Tribe know about it.”

The Sun Moon Tribe definitely did not want Qingxuan to regain her memories and hence, they must not become aware of it.

Back when the Sun Moon Tribe expert had wiped Qingxuan’s memories, the intention had been to root her heart in the Sun Moon Tribe. Who would want her to regain her memories?

“This… Should I let my teacher seek it?” Yun Youyou doubtfully asked. She had asked her teacher about how she could regain her memories before but her teacher had not given her a concrete answer.

“That is even worse!” Su Mo shook his head and warned her, “Qingxuan, you need to be wary of Grand Elder Jin Yang in the future!”

“Stay on guard around my teacher? Why?” Yun Youyou instantly frowned and gritted her teeth upon hearing Su Mo’s warning.

“This… I feel that Grand Elder Jin Yang might not have good intentions towards you!” Su Mo uttered in a deep tone.

“Bad intentions towards me?” Yun Youyou’s face hardened and a cold glare passed through her eyes as she scowled, “Su Mo, be careful with your words and don’t disgrace my teacher!”

Yun Youyou was offended. Although she admitted that she trusted Su Mo after the trip to Ancientspirit Galaxy, she was not comfortable with his words now.

Her teacher treated her like his own daughter and patiently taught her about martial arts. Their relationship was deep and she would not allow Su Mo to speak ill of her teacher.

Sigh!

Su Mo jumped in shock and creased his eyebrows together in the next instant. His heart fell helplessly and he looked disappointed.

Qingxuan had stayed in Sun Moon Tribe for a long time and her relationship with Grand Elder Jin Yang ran even deeper than his.

Him directly insulting Grand Elder Jin Yang had naturally unsettled Qingxuan.

“Let’s not talk about this. I am prepared to leave Mingxu Galaxy after the crowning ceremony to find the Ancient Dream Grass for you!”

Su Mo shook his head. He wasn’t sure whether or not Grand Elder Jin Yang was a good man and he only made guesses about the Grand Elder’s intentions. He still left room in case his guess was wrong.

Luckily, Yun Youyou softly sighed after hearing Su Mo’s words and did not chastise him. After all, Su Mo had done too many things for her and she was grateful to him.

“Ah Mi Galaxy is very far, and it is separated from Ming Xu Galaxy by more than 100 galaxies. With your cultivation rank, you might need more than 10 years before you reach it!” Yun Youyou raised that point.

“It is fine, I will take it as a training experience.” Su Mo laughed lightheartedly. Since he couldn’t stay at Ming Xu Galaxy nor Ancientspirit Galaxy anymore, he would travel the universe.

Furthermore, he had a curse on his body now and wouldn’t be able to break it in the short term. Perhaps he could find a way to break it as he travelled the universe.

According to Saint Elder Zhen Xian, the Holy Relic could raise a martial artist’s mental strength and it could possibly help him to resist the curse.

Even if he wasn’t able to obtain the Holy Relic reward for the mission, he might be able to obtain other Holy Relics in Ah Mi Galaxy.

Besides, there were other treasures aside from the Holy Relic that could raise his mental strength. If he could find other valuables like the Ancient Demon’s Medulla, that would also be greatly beneficial for him.

Su Mo was the only one who could find the Ancient Dream Grass. Although Yun Youyou was already a Rank 6 Martial Honorable, she wouldn’t be able to get the Ancient Dream Grass.

She would be in trouble if the Sun Moon Tribe found out about what she was doing.

Once Yun Youyou heard Su Mo’s words and observed the warm smile on his face, she fell silent and stared thoughtfully into the distance.

“Qingxuan, what’s wrong?” Looking at the strange look on Qingxuan’s face, Su Mo asked curiously.

“Su Mo, why are you doing this? Why are you helping me?” Yun Youyou asked in a deep voice.

She wondered why Su Mo was so caring towards her. He had chased after her from Ancientspirit Galaxy to Mingxu Galaxy and also decided to spend the effort to head towards Ah Mi Galaxy to find the Ancient Dream Grass for her.

She wasn’t sure why Su Mo would do this for her.

Of course, Yun Youyou wasn’t dumb and she knew that she was very attractive to men because of her strength and her beauty.

Yet, Su Mo obviously did not have those intentions towards her or he would have acted on them when they were on route to Ancientspirit Galaxy.

Su Mo was slightly surprised before his face darkened and he replied in a solemn voice, “I promised Qian Xunyue to protect you and not let any harm happen to you. I want to let the two of you be united again!”

He didn’t raise the relationship between them and attributed all reason for his actions to Qian Xunyue.

However, he did indeed promise Qian Xunyue before he would protect Qingxuan and let the two reunite.

“Teacher Qian Xunyue!”

Yun Youyou nodded her head. She knew that Qian Xunyue had died because of Su Mo and Su Mo had been bringing her coffin around with him, swearing to revive her one day.

This dedication couldn’t help her from being moved.

“Do you like her?” Yun Youyou asked lightly. She believed that there must be a deep relationship between the two.

Otherwise, there could be no other explanation for Su Mo’s dedication and perseverance in his endeavor.

“She is my woman!” Su Mo stared straight at Yun Youyou and claimed. Since Yun Youyou had already lost her memories and her feelings towards him, Su Mo admitted it without reservation.

Yun Youyou was surprised and she instantly fell silent. She knew from Su Mo, as well as the Firmament Palace people, about many things about Firmament World.

However, she had not imagined that her teacher, Qian Xunyue, would be Su Mo’s woman.

That was because it didn’t seem possible. According to what she knew, Qian Xunyue and Su Mo did not have that many interactions.

“She must be very lucky to have a man who would give everything for her!”

After a long while, Yun Youyou marveled. Her face was filled with mixed emotions and her mind spun in wonder.

“No, she is unfortunate!” Su Mo shook his head dejectedly and couldn’t help his mind drifting to the past to recall how Qian Xunyue had bravely stepped in front to block the attacks of the Netherworld Devil Sect to protect him.

He had also wondered why Qian Xunyue would do so before.

Back then, he had offended her and Qian Xunyue had chased after him to kill him for a very long time.

However, right when he was in grave danger, not only did Qian Xunyue not kill him, she also jumped into the line of fire to save him.

This made Su Mo confused. Could Qian Xunyue have fallen in love with him? That didn’t seem possible.

“Su Mo, what is wrong?”

Right at that moment, Yun Youyou coughed lightly. Su Mo’s complexion had suddenly turned as dark as water and the aura in his body fluctuated wildly.

“Not good!” Su Mo jumped in fright and he immediately threw aside the scandalous thoughts in his mind and focused on stabilizing his Dark Force.

He did not break through to the next realm, but he still activated the curse.

Whew!

Luckily for him, Yun Youyou’s cough had shaken him. Furthermore, since he wasn’t pushing the bottleneck of his realm, the curse wasn’t too strong and he managed to easily suppress it.

“What was that?” Yun Youyou asked, concerned.

“Nothing, I didn’t control my feelings and almost landed myself in hot water!” Su Mo chuckled without telling Yun Youyou the truth.

“That’s great!” Yun Youyou heaved a sigh of relief.

Thereafter, he continued talking with Yun Youyou for a while about the Ancient Dream Grass before he released her from the Seven-colored Glazed Pagoda and escorted her out of his mansion 15 minutes later.

After watching Yun Youyou safely take her leave, Su Mo returned back to his palace.

“She actually stayed for so long?”

In a tall pagoda not far away from Su Mo’s palace, Fan Yunsheng stared after Yun Youyou’s back as his face darkened.

Yun Youyou had stayed in Su Mo’s palace and talked with him alone for half an hour and Fan Yunsheng couldn’t help looking at Su Mo in distaste.

“Nothing should have happened within half an hour right?” Fan Yunsheng muttered softly under his breath. He was afraid of Su Mo laying hands on Yun Youyou.

However, half an hour was too short for anything to have happened.

With that, Fan Yunsheng dropped his head down and pondered how he would teach Su Mo a lesson.

Su Mo was his main enemy and if he didn’t get rid of Su Mo, he wouldn’t be able to win over Yun Youyou.

However, he couldn’t directly attack Su Mo.

Very quickly, Fan Yunsheng’s eyes brightened as he thought of a chance during the crowning ceremony.

Even if Fan Yunsheng didn’t act then, others from other galaxies could challenge Su Mo.
