Chapter 92
"What's wrong, Master? Have you already forgotten about me?" Su Yang took the initiative to speak to Li Xiao Mo when she was seemingly speechless .
"W-What are you doing here, Su Yang? And your clothes… You are an Inner Court disciple now?" The tone Li Xiao Mo used when speaking to Su Yang was not anything like a Master speaking to her servant and instead sounded more reserved, almost as if she was talking to someone above her but didn't want to make it sound so obvious .
"It's all because of you, Master . If it wasn't for your help, I would've never made it here…" Su Yang continued treating her as though she was his master, even throwing in a few lies to make things difficult for her .
"Senior apprentice-sister Li, why don't you introduce this manservant of yours to us already?" someone suddenly said out loud, and the surrounding disciples nodded .
Li Xiao Mo looked at the surrounding disciples with a perplexed expression on her face, silently cursing each and every single one of them inwardly .
After another moment of silence, Li Xiao Mo showed a graceful smile and said: "Junior apprentice-brother Su, why must you tease me like this? You made everyone here believe you to be my servant, which is far from the truth…"
"Huh?"
The smiles on the surrounding disciples froze, and they glared at Su Yang with sharp eyes after realizing that he had played all of them .
"How boring… You really are no fun, Li Xiao Mo . " Su Yang shook his head, feeling disappointed that she didn't play along with him .
"Li Xiao Mo?" A few disciples there frowned at the way Su Yang casually addressed her, even calling her by her full name . It gave the two a feeling of intimacy, and that secretly displeased a few people there that felt a certain way towards Li Xiao Mo, who was relatively popular within the Inner Court disciples .
"Who the hell are you, new kid? Do you not know Senior apprentice-sister Li's background here within the Inner Court?" A handsome young man with long hair and sharp eyebrows spoke out loud as he looked at Su Yang with an unfriendly gaze .
"Junior apprentice-brother Gu!" Li Xiao Mo narrowed her eyes at the individual who just spoke, which only made him feel even more irritated .
"Senior apprentice-sister Li protected the newcomer?"
When the disciples saw this, their interest in Su Yang skyrocketed .
Li Xiao Mo was known for her arrogant and overbearing demeanor, so for her to go out of her way to defend someone, that individual must have some sort of special background that even she has to respect .
"A-Anyway…" Li Xiao Mo cleared her throat and turned her attention back to Su Yang . "What are you doing here?"
Su Yang looked around at the surrounding disciples and said: "This is the gathering place for that, right? Why else would I be here?"
"What!? You are also participating in this event?!"
Not only was Li Xiao Mo shocked at the reveal, but even the other disciples were also dumbfounded .
"That's impossible! You are clearly a new Inner Court disciple! There is no way that you could've been chosen for this!" exclaimed the disciple surnamed Gu .
"Are you kidding me? How could someone who'd just become an Inner Court disciple participate this event that upholds the Sect's reputation? Based on what qualifications?"
"Junior apprentice-brother Su… Only those with a substantial amount of experience as an Inner Court disciple may participate in this event, yet you being here does not make sense…" Li Xiao Mo partially explained to him why everybody there was surprised .
