I was reborn after playing a good hand badly

Su Mo caught up with the pace after the initial chaos, and even though he could only defend and not fight back, he was not at a disadvantage.

During the fight between the two, Su Mo also saw the other party's appearance clearly.

The person who came was a man with handsome features and a tall stature. He had black hair tied into a high ponytail and wore a gray-blue gown. There was a storage bag hanging around his waist. The ring on his finger should be the reason why he could move freely in the environment of the moon. It should be a defensive magic weapon.

Su Mo knew that this person was the swordsman she wanted to recruit.

As she expected, the sword cultivator's realm was not high, otherwise with his ability he would not be in his current situation. Su Mo estimated that he might have just established his foundation not long ago, and there was still a gap between him and Su Mo who was in the late stage of foundation establishment.

The current situation is stalemate. If the other party does not have stronger means, it will be futile to continue.

"Stop! Stop it. I don't want to fight you anymore! Where did you come from, cultivator? Why are you using a good sword to chop me like a knife?" The male sword cultivator retracted his move and stepped back to distance himself from Su Mo. There was a hint of a crack on his cold expression.

Su Mo did not argue. He stopped and took a look at the sword in his hand. It seemed to be better than the sword in the other person's hand.

"Where are you from again?"

"This place is not the territory of Suzhou, did you know that?"

The male swordsman looked confused for a moment, but soon accepted it.

"This is definitely not Suzhou! I told you I've never heard of such a place." He murmured in a low voice.

"No, this is not Suzhou, so how do you know Suzhou? Do you also understand the common language of Suzhou?" Xiao Yu took a few steps back and looked at Su Mo vigilantly.

Su Mo "..."

This was the person she wanted to recruit, so Su Mo certainly didn't mind informing him of the situation in Suzhou first.

Sure enough, after Su Mo finished speaking, he saw that the other party was confused and shocked.

Was Suzhou shattered? And became a treasure hunting ground in another world?

"We have read a lot of books obtained from Suzhou, and you are not the first person to appear here." Finally, Su Mo vaguely explained why she knew the common language.

"I'm Su Mo, and I came here specifically to see you."

The male swordsman was stunned with a confused expression.

"Find me?"

"You haven't forgotten that you injured two people before, have you?"

The male swordsman pursed his lips, recalling what happened when he first arrived here. After he made his move, he also realized that the two seemed very weak, so he did not kill them and chose to leave.

Now someone came looking for him, and it was someone he couldn't deal with. Xiao Yu saluted and said, "I am Xiao Yu, a disciple of Wanjian Sect. Fellow Daoist Su, do you mean that those two are from the same clan as Fellow Daoist Su? I thought they were some kind of monsters I had never seen before because of their strange appearance, so they attacked..."

Monster..., black lines appeared on Su Mo’s forehead.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, you misunderstood. They are not monsters. The white shell is just, um, a kind of equipment. You should have also felt that the environment here is harsh and ordinary people cannot survive there."

“That’s right…” Xiao Yu suddenly realized.

Although his realm was not as high as Su Mo's, he could still feel the flow of spiritual energy. Su Mo had a protective layer around him just like him.

Having said that, Xiao Yu bowed again.

"I'm so sorry for offending you just now! I came here suddenly and was overly cautious. The reason I attacked you by surprise was because you almost found my hiding place..."

That's why I took the initiative. Well, he swallowed the last sentence and didn't say it.

Su Mo didn't ask him why he was hiding here. Knowing that Xiao Yu was not clear about what happened in Suzhou, she was more confident in recruiting people.

"I understand your vigilance, but you need to explain what happened to those two people to me. Don't worry, I can see that you held back. Just explain the matter clearly."

Xiao Yu nodded and told Su Mo some of his experiences before coming here.

"I left the sect for a while to train in preparation for building my foundation. Later, I accidentally entered a secret realm and stayed there in seclusion until I broke through the foundation. After I recovered and left, I discovered that something was wrong."

"That mountain range is surrounded by a gray fog, but I have tried to detect it and I can't tell what it is. I don't dare to easily go into such an unknown place..."

"Later, I wandered in the mountains for a while. Once when I was hunting a monster, I suddenly seemed to pass through some kind of barrier, and then I came here."

Su Mo's eyes lit up when he heard him talk about the secret realm. As soon as Xiao Yu finished speaking, she asked, "Do you remember where you came from?"

"Of course! Fellow Daoist Su, you want to go to that mountain range? To be honest, only part of that mountain range is left in the gray fog."

"Don't worry about the gray fog. Is the place you came from far from here?"

Xiao Yu paused, then said, "It's not far... but it's quite barren over there, and the monsters there are very low-level. What do you want to do there, Fellow Daoist Su?"

"It doesn't matter if it's barren. Isn't there a secret place?"

"Well, that secret realm has been closed, and I can't go in again..."

"It doesn't matter, just take me there!" Whether it is closed or not is not a problem for Su Mo.

"If Brother Xiao can help lead the way, you can follow me if you have nowhere to go later." Su Mo said with a smile.

"Join your sect?" Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows.

It has to be said that Su Mo's conditions hit his sore spot. The environment of this place was too harsh. Although his magic weapon for self-defense could withstand the attack, it was also consuming energy all the time. However, he was short of money and had no spirit stones to charge the magic weapon.

If the energy of the magic weapon is completely exhausted, he can only return to the mountain range shrouded in gray fog. At that time, apart from being trapped and dying of old age, he can only choose to enter the gray fog to seek a glimmer of life.

But Xiao Yu was unwilling to step into the gray fog before because he felt it was inappropriate. If there was a better choice, he would never choose the gray fog!

And now, a better option seems to be coming.

Xiao Yu lowered his head slightly to hide the flickering light in his eyes and waited for Su Mo to give an answer.

"That's fine if you want to understand it this way. You work for me, I'll provide you with food and lodging, and you'll also get a salary. Well, it means timely compensation. With the salary, you can exchange it for cultivation resources, spirit stones, etc. It's a ten-year contract, and you don't have to renew it if you find a better place afterwards." Su Mo offered generous conditions.

Xiao Yu pursed his lips. He was very moved! But he didn't show it. He asked, "Are there any other benefits?"

"Of course! But you need to fight for other benefits yourself. You know, if pie falls from the sky, it is likely to be a trap. I am a very good person and I never give people pie in the sky."

Xiao Yu "..."

"The magic weapon you just used, do I have a chance to get it?" Xiao Yu's cold face flushed slightly, and he finally asked.

"Of course!" Su Mo was very calm.

Su Mo has more than ten Xuan-level magic weapons in her hand. Although she only has the long sword, Su Mo is not good at using it. She just uses it for convenience. If she really wants to give the Xuan-level long sword to Xiao Yu as a reward, she will not be reluctant at all.

If Xiao Yu is good enough or has made a great enough contribution to earn enough points for exchange, Su Mo will help him.

Xiao Yu was delighted by Su Mo's indifferent attitude towards those magical weapons, which meant that the other party must have a lot of good things.

"Okay! Then I'm willing to make the contract!"
