Chapter 851 - We Are Just Fortune’s Fools

Su Mo thought for a while and said slowly, “Qingxuan, do you know why I’ve been cultivating so hard? Do you know the reason why I come to the Central Continent?”
He continued before Hong Qingxuan could answer, “I did them for a woman. A woman I’ve been missing!”
As his voice fell, Hong Qingxuan was stunned.
“This woman is as beautiful and innocent as you. We met each other when we were kids, but we didn’t make it due to some reasons. I came to the Central Continent for her.”
Su Mo looked sad as if he was drowned in memories.
Hong Qingxuan listened silently as she bit her lip. She felt distressed.
It turned out that Su Mo had already fallen in love with someone! No wonder he had never tried to woo me!
She asked, “Is it Di Lanxi?”
She also had heard the rumors that Su Mo would challenge Shangguan Hao.
She did not pay attention to that, but now she did and knew that it was brother Su Mo.
Su Mo was shocked and then nodded his head. He had not expected that she could figure out who his lover was.
A dead, heavy silence followed.
Hong Qingxuan looked at Su Mo as she was on the verge of tears. Had brother Su Mo ever liked her?
Although she was painful to know that Su Mo had a lover, she could accept it.
As long as Su Mo liked her, she could accept that Su Mo had another woman.
After all, in the Firmament and Continent, it was normal for an expert to have multiple wives.
Hong Qingxuan was not that selfish to let Su Mo own her alone.
She just wanted to know if Su Mo liked her.
“Brother Su Mo, I like you!”
After a while, she suddenly broke the silence.
She finally encouraged herself to confess. She did not want to restrain her love anymore.
No matter Su Mo liked her or not, she wanted to say it.
“I know!” Su Mo nodded heavily.
Hong Qingxuan bit her lip, took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice, “Brother Su Mo, do you… Do you like me too?”
After saying so, Hong Qingxuan felt very nervous as if there were butterflies in her stomach.
Now, she had abandoned her bashfulness and the restraint of a girl. She looked at Su Mo with keen eyes.
Su Mo looked at the flushed face and felt bitterness in his heart.
Did he like Hong Qingxuan?
The answer was definitely yes.
She was such a beautiful girl, an angel. Every man in this world would fall in love with this girl!
Things should have gone smoothly if nothing happened between him and Qian Xunyue. If Xi’er did not mind Hong Qingxuan, he would not give up Hong Qingxuan after defeating Shangguan Hao and marry Xi’er.
However, since that thing happened, he and Hong Qingxuan might not stand a chance to be together!
He was well aware of Qian Xunyue and Hong Qingxuan’s relationship. They were both master-to-disciple and friends.
In this case, Hong Qingxuan would never accept that he and Qian Xunyue had sexual intercourse.
Su Mo nodded heavily under her keen eyes and said, “I like you!”
Hong Qingxuan smiled upon hearing this. She smiled like a flower with tears of joy.
“Brother Su Mo, it’s enough!”
She smiled and said, “I’ll help you find Di Lanxi!”
Su Mo sighed again while looking at her innocent face and said, “There’s one more thing that I don’t want to hide anymore!”
“What is it?”
“It’s about your master.”
Hong Qingxuan immediately concentrated on him. She was so curious how Su Mo had offended her master!
She had to know what happened so as to deal with it.
Su Mo gnashed his teeth for a while and then said in a deep voice, “I had… Sexual intercourse with your master!”
“What?”
Hong Qingxuan’s eyes immediately widened as she froze.
Su Mo’s words burst in her mind like thunder.
“They had sex?”
“How could it be?”
Almost in a split second, her face turned dead-like pale.
“Impossible!”
“This can’t be true!”
“Brother Su Mo, you’re lying to me!”
After a short while, Hong Qingxuan shook her head as if she lost her soul.
She could never accept things like this.
She could narrowly accept Su Mo’s coitus with the other women, but not her master.
Deep down in her heart, Qian Xunyue was not only her master but also her sister.
Su Mo’s heart broke upon seeing this. But he really could not hide it even if it hurt a lot.
“Back there in the Barbaric Mountains, I saw your master being hunted by Zuoqiu Ting…”
Su Mo then told her what happened in details.
Hong Qingxuan fell silent after Su Mo finished.
She knew that Su Mo was not lying, that he did this only to save her master’s life, not under seduction.
However, she was still so painful that she even wanted to die.
No matter what, Qian Xunyue was her master.
“Qingxuan, I’m sorry!” Su Mo said in a deep voice.
She shook her head and said, “Brother Su Mo, it’s not your fault. We’re nothing but fortune’s fools!”
Su Mo sighed inwardly. He knew that she felt bad, but he did not know how to make her feel better.
“Brother Su Mo, I’m leaving. I need some time!”
Hong Qingxuan suddenly rose up and then walked straight out.
“Qingxuan!”
Su Mo called her but she ignored him and quickly left the room.
“Alas!”
Su Mo sighed and did not follow her. It might be better if she had some space.
He shook his head helplessly, knowing the fact that he and Hong Qingxuan could not be like before anymore.
It was more likely that they would never meet again.
He was depressed. After staring blankly for a long time, he finally got rid of the distractions and started cultivating on his bed.
He could now combine the Gold and Earth Dark Force for a short time. The stable duration was almost the same as before. Now, he was going to combine the wood and fire Dark Force.
He then led his wood and fire Dark Force to his fingertips.
“Knock! Knock! Knock!”
At this point, someone suddenly knocked on his door again.
“Qingxuan!” Su Mo was overjoyed and thought that Hong Qingxuan came back.
However, at the next moment, his face fell because his spiritual consciousness found out that there were three people standing outside his room.
One of them was his senior sister, An Nuan. They had not seen each other for a long time.
