Immediately, the last few masked men in black also fell to the ground.
"Haha!" Su Zimo laughed self-mockingly.
On the silent street, everyone's attention was drawn to the cold and mocking laughter.
"Momo..."
"Mother..."
Muyun Xuan and Su Qi anxiously looked at Su Zimo, wondering why she was laughing like this.
"I can't help but laugh! My son is so amazing!"
Su Zimo's beautiful face was filled with a triumphant smile, but a hint of pain flashed in her eyes. If... there were no ifs, Su Zimo quickly suppressed her thoughts. In this world she was in, there would never be the peace she imagined.
Upon hearing her words, chaos ensued, and a flock of crows flew overhead. Was there someone so arrogant?
Her son was impressive, and everyone saw it. Did she need to be so ostentatious?
Suddenly, people's thoughts diverged.
"Mother," Su Li flew to Su Zimo's side, looking at her smiling face. However, he was the only one who could see the worry and pain in her eyes.
"Mother, Li'er made you worry."
Su Li concealed his murderous intent and displayed an obedient and adorable appearance.
Su Zimo squatted down and looked at him affectionately.
"Li'er is amazing! It's mother... " Su Zimo's eyes flickered but she didn't continue. Perhaps it wouldn't be a bad thing for Li'er to experience more situations like this.
No enemies would gather unless they had a reason, and the mysterious Tianmen actually wanted to kill her, Su Zimo.
Her momentary thoughts almost caused her harm. She would never let it happen again. Perhaps continually facing challenges was the reason why she became infatuated with this world. The unknown held the greatest allure. The more unpredictable and unknowable it was, the more it fascinated Su Zimo.
"Mother," Su Li furrowed his handsome brows.
"It's alright, Li'er. Mother will tell you when we get back, okay?"
"Okay!" Su Li obediently nodded. He would go find his mother tonight when they returned. His mother clearly had something to say to him.
Su Zimo then turned her gaze towards Emperor Haoyue. Surely Emperor Haoyue had witnessed everything just now? As an emperor, what was he thinking?
"Your Majesty, in my opinion, let's call it a day. The shops are all in the capital of Haoyue Kingdom. Your Majesty will have plenty of time to visit them in the future."
"Alright! I'm a bit tired too." Emperor Haoyue's complexion turned pale. Such intense fighting made him feel insecure, but his eyes glanced at Su Li. This Su Li was truly formidable. He appeared so weak, yet possessed such explosive power.
"Emperor Haoyue!" At this moment, Nalan Wenhao stepped forward and greeted Emperor Haoyue.
"You are the new King of Lixia Kingdom from half a year ago?" Emperor Haoyue observed Nalan Wenhao. Nalan Wenhao had an air of mystery about him, having suddenly ascended to the throne half a year ago. Now, he personally came to Haoyue Kingdom. He wondered what brought him here.
"That is correct, Your Majesty. I, as the king, will come to pay my respects to Emperor Haoyue during the celebration ceremony."
"In that case, I'll head back to the palace first." After Emperor Haoyue finished speaking, he left with his entourage. He wasn't afraid of any turmoil from other countries. There were alliances between the nations, and no one dared to easily break them.
"Your Majesty," Nalan Li Xin looked at Nalan Wenhao with concern about his injured arm.
"Xin'er, I'm fine."
Nalan Wenhao glanced at Su Zimo, his lips twitching slightly. He looked at the others but remained silent.
Meanwhile, Su Qi brought Su Zinin down from the Silver Fire.
Everyone's attention had just been focused on the members of Tianmen, and now they remembered Su Qi's Silver Fire Snake.
However, Su Qi didn't give them a chance to inquire. He swiftly withdrew the Silver Fire into his dantian.
"Momo!" Su Zinin immediately ran to Su Zimo's side after landing on the ground. She was extremely worried when she saw everything from above.
Then she turned to Nalan Wenhao and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. If it weren't for you, our Momo would have been injured."
"It's nothing, just a minor injury." Nalan Wenhao lovingly looked at the two sisters. As a father, he had never fulfilled his duty as their father, which made him feel guilty towards them.
"Momo, are you alright?" He Yunting and Su Qingjue hurriedly approached.
Hesitant, He Yunting asked, "What happened? I left for a moment, and there was trouble here?" Su Zimo narrowed her eyes. Whether trouble arose or not was not within her control.
"Why did you come over? Is everything fine with the other trading houses?"
"If there were any issues, they were just minor ones and have been resolved?"
He Yunting closed his eyes. It was their turn to face trouble now.
"Momo, don't worry. Shiyu, Wujiang, and Tianhen are patrolling each shop. Nothing will happen. But what about you? How did you suddenly encounter an assassination attempt?" Su Qingjue looked at Su Zimo with concern. He knew that once her identity became known to the world, she would encounter many troubles.
Su Zimo sarcastically lifted the corners of her mouth. She could ignore anything else, but when it came to matters of life and death, she couldn't afford not to understand why the people from Tianmen wanted to kill her.
"Brother, forget it. Let's discuss this matter later. Since the other shops are fine, Momo won't go over for now."
"Every shop is doing very well! With Brother here, you should take Zi'er and Li'er back to rest."
"Mhmm!" Su Zimo nodded.
"Just now, the Manor Lord used the Xuan Ice Snow Practice, one of the Eight Great Profound Artifacts!"
Suddenly, a faint voice broke into Su Zimo's ears.
Su Zimo swiftly turned her head, and it was Yuwang Muyun Zeyu who was speaking.
Muyun Shaofeng glanced at Muyun Zeyu. As soon as he saw Momo using the Xuan Ice Snow Practice, he knew that Momo was involved with the Eight Great Profound Artifacts. Yuwang would definitely be able to see it, and a hint of worry filled his heart. Yuwang was someone who would do whatever it took to achieve his goals. He was afraid that Momo would face difficulties in the future...
Su Zimo turned around and walked towards Yuwang, her aura carrying a hint of coldness. Her stunning face, with those piercing eyes, exuded a mesmerizing confusion. "Wang Yuwang has excellent vision. It is indeed the Xuan Ice Snow Practice. What? Is Yuwang also coveting the eight treasures of the world?"
Su Zimo's tone was extremely sarcastic, and she looked at Muyun Zeyu with eyes as if she were looking at a thief.
This feeling made Muyun Zeyu very uncomfortable. He felt ashamed from head to toe. Muyun Zeyu clenched his fists slowly, trying to relieve the anger in his heart.
He was angry, and Su Zimo was even angrier. The breathtaking beauty on her face emanated an icy chill that spread instantly, filling every inch of Muyun Zeyu's skin with coldness.
Suddenly, Muyun Zeyu caught a glimpse of the chilling killing intent that rose in those beautiful eyes.
Su Zimo's footsteps abruptly stopped, and she transmitted her voice to Muyun Zeyu.
"Wang Yuwang, if you want the Eight Great Profound Artifacts, you have to be willing to exchange it with your life. Among the Eight Great Profound Artifacts, Huàn Jì is in the Unreturnable Mountain. If you have the ability, go and take it!" After speaking, Su Zimo restrained the mocking smile on her face. That mocking smile made people feel a towering wave of anger for no reason.
"You..." After a long while, Muyun Zeyu only managed to utter one word through his tightly pursed lips.
"Wang Yuwang, although you saw the Xuan Ice Snow Practice in my hands, I have already told you the whereabouts of the Eight Great Profound Artifacts. Isn't this Manor Lord generous enough?"
Su Zimo's face was filled with an irresistible smile, and her eyes became innocent and moving in an instant.
As soon as the Eight Great Profound Artifacts were mentioned, everyone's eyes brightened.
Muyun Xuan's eyes flickered. Did Momo really have such a kind heart to tell Muyun Zeyu the whereabouts of the Eight Great Profound Artifacts? But as his gaze swept across those cunning eyes, he already understood.
Muyun Shaofeng could see that Momo was playing with Muyun Zeyu. By speaking so loudly, she wanted to divert the attention of those who desired the Eight Great Profound Artifacts towards Yuwang. The effect might not be significant, but it would still have some impact.
"Return to the Mingyue Villa," Su Zimo coldly ordered.
"Wait, Momo," Nalan Wenhao quickly called out.
Su Zimo furrowed her eyebrows when she realized she had forgotten about her savior. "Your Majesty, you saved this humble woman's life. This humble woman owes you a life. When Your Majesty needs this humble woman's help in the future, please inform her."
"No, Momo, you misunderstood His Majesty's intentions. His Majesty meant to say that my son, Yier, is at your esteemed villa and has received your care. His Majesty is deeply grateful."
In fact, Nalan Wenhao wanted to take this opportunity to explain the truth to Mingyue Villa, but he couldn't bring himself to say it.
"Oh, is that so?" Su Zimo had forgotten about this.
"Then please, Your Majesty, come with us. Prince Xiaowang is at the Mingyue Villa."
It would be better to take him away! The current Mingyue Villa was not safe, and if something happened, she wouldn't be able to explain it to the Li Xia Kingdom.
"Okay!" Nalan Wenhao nodded with joy and raised his gaze, seeing Sìtú Ruòyān walking out.
He sighed inwardly. The inevitable had to be faced.
Su Qingjue and Su Zinin were stunned when they saw Sìtú Ruòyān. The siblings exchanged a quick glance, and a hint of uncertainty flashed through Su Zinin's eyes.
But for Su Qingjue, who had remembered his mother's appearance long ago, even though more than a decade had passed, he still remembered her clearly.
A surge of excitement washed over his heart, but he suppressed his emotions. Perhaps they just looked alike, and it couldn't be the same person. If their mother was still alive, she wouldn't have stayed away for so many years without coming to see them.
