Chapter 5- Success

For Su Mu, the week passed in the blink of an eye since he had already lived countless years, the flow of time just felt different to him. If he wasn't careful, he just might end up sleeping for a few weeks without even realising it and that'll be bad since his body right now needs food to sustain itself.

"It should be about time." Su Mu muttered before going back to sleep again. All he did in the past week was sleep and eat along with some basic exercises. Well, the exercises he did were anything but basic if measured according to a normal Initial Element 3rd Stage.

"Young Master Su." Hearing someone call him from outside, Su Mu opened his eyes. Walking outside, he opened the door and looked at the young High Heaven Disciple standing in front of him.

"What is it?" Su Mu asked.

"Young Master Su, the Second Elder has called for you." The Disciple replied.

"I see. You can go and tell him that I am cultivating right now." Su Mu nodded, going back inside the room, leaving the Disciple who was standing outside while cupping his fists confused.

"The Second Elder called for him and he is not going?" The Disciple muttered, wondering if the rumours that were spreading around were true.

Not going even after being summoned by an Elder without any proper reason was nothing short of slapping the Elder's face, not to mention that the Elder in this case was Su Mu's grandfather. If the word spread, it'll make both Su Mu and his grandfather laughing stocks in the High Heaven Pavilion.

"I should tell the Second Elder about it." With those words, the Disciple ran towards the place where the Second Elder stayed.

"He said that?" Su Xuan Wu, the Second Elder of the High Heaven Pavilion and Su Mu's grandfather asked, looking at the Disciple in front of him, who shivered at his gaze.

"Y-Yes, Second Elder. Young Master Su said that."

"What do you mean 'Young Master Su', as far as the Pavilion is concerned, he is nothing but an Ordinary Disciple." Su Xuan Wu said, shaking his head in disapproval. "You may leave."

"Just what is wrong with that brat?" He muttered, wondering if something could've happened to Su Mu.

Although Su Mu had a habit to throw his status around, in the end, he wasn't a bad person. Not to mention that he always respected his elders and was very polite. So Su Mu rejecting his grandfather's summon so blatantly should be something concerning.

"Why should I? Grandfather, are you implying that she still needs to take care of me?" Su Mu asked, frowning.

"Of course not. Su Yan has been focused on cultivation ever since she joined the sect, so it might be good for her to spend some time with her brother." Su Xuan Wu explained.

"But what about my cultivation?" Su Mu asked.

"With your talent, you'll be able to catch up with or even surpass your sister in no time." Su Xuan Wu didn't hold back on the flattery, making sure that Su Mu would see the situation as if he was the one helping Su Yan.

"Very well." Su Mu said, nodding. "I'll move in with Su Yan tomorrow."

"Very well, I will inform Su Yan about this."Su Xuan Wu said before taking his leave. For some reason, it felt like he was talking to his Ancestor, which made him feel a little nervous.

"That was easier than I thought." Su Mu muttered, looking at the closed door. Everything went according to how he planned. Now, all he needed to do was move in with Su Yan and things will progress on their own.

The plan was a huge success.

With things progressing smoothly, Su Mu started packing all his stuff in a rather good mood.

[Blood Battle Group's Territory]

Inside a wooden house, Hu Jiao'er was glaring at Hu Mei'er with a frown on her beautiful face.

"Mei'er, how many times do I need to tell you this? The only thing Su Mu likes about you is your body and the fact that you're the Blood Battle Group Leader's daughter." Hu Jiao'er said in a commanding tone. She was worried about her sister, who has already fallen in love with Su Mu, even going as far as lying to their father. But Hu Mei'er wasn't able to hide anything from her sister, which made things difficult for her.

"Sister, he is not like that." Hu Mei'er retorted; she won't accept any kind of slander against the person she loves, even if it's her sister.

Hearing her words, Hu Jiao'er sighed, wondering how she should deal with this situation. "Very well, I'll help you realise what Su Mu is really after. If he passes my test, I shall allow this little love story of yours. Do you have any problem with that?"

"Of course, he won't lose." Hu Mei'er stated in a confident tone, which disappointed Hu Jiao'er a lot, but she didn't say anything.
