Douluo: The Dragon King - I Planted the Divine Tree in Douluo.

Chapter 92 Su Mo's Idea

"Sorry, Xiaoyan."

Xu Xiu took a deep breath, her voice low but filled with unwavering determination, "For the sake of the sacrifices made by our two families for generations, we... have no choice but to do this."

Images of the past flashed through Xu Xiu's eyes, and her tone was tinged with heaviness.

"Back then, the Dai family did this to prevent the Star Luo Empire's influence on the Douluo Continent from completely disappearing."

"They deliberately fabricated the story of the dancers, a branch family that the world mistakenly believed to have been born from a one-night stand between the Dai family ancestor and a dancer."

Su Mo nodded in agreement.

If the Star Luo Empire wants to return to the Douluo Continent, it must maintain its influence there.

Otherwise, even if that day really comes...

Having lost its influence, the Star Luo Empire was nothing more than a naked invader to the people of the Sun Moon Federation.

"And our Xu family also bears a heavy mission."

Xu Xiu's voice grew increasingly hoarse.

"Back when our Xu family ancestor's martial soul mutated from the Star Crown to the Ice Staff, the family immediately sent it from the Star Luo Continent to the Douluo Continent, establishing the Xu family of the East Sea as we know it today."

"And all of this was to preserve the flame, waiting for today's opportunity."

Xu Xiu slowly raised her eyes, her gaze like an ancient and desolate night sky, suppressing a thousand-year-old obsession.

"Our two families... have waited too long for this day, and the price we paid has been too high."

"No matter how much I dote on you, my granddaughter, Xiaoyan, this time... I have no choice but to force you down a path you don't want to take."

"..."

Xu Xiaoyan stared blankly at her grandfather, her whole body slumped like a deflated balloon, her shoulders slowly drooping, and her once vibrant eyes gradually lost their luster.

Seeing the expression on her grandfather's face, Xu Xiaoyan knew that she had no way out and that she had to do this.

Xu Xiu's gaze returned to Su Mo, her voice heavy and solemn, "Young friend Su Mo, I have now entrusted you with the secret that the Xu and Dai families have kept hidden for many years."

"I am here... kneeling before you! If the Star Luo Empire is rebuilt in the future, please lend a helping hand to the Xu and Dai families!"

Before she could finish speaking, Xu Xiu stretched out her hands, her body leaning slightly forward, as if she was about to kneel down before Su Mo on the spot.

Su Mo quickly helped Xu Xiu up and said sincerely, "You're joking, old man. Given my friendship with Xiao Yan, I will naturally help her if I really become one of the Shrek Seven Devils in the future."

"Then, on behalf of the Xu and Dai families, I thank young friend Su Mo for his help."

As she spoke, Xu Xiu bowed deeply to Su Mo again.

……

"I'm sorry, Su Mo!"

After Xu Xiu left, only Su Mo and the other two remained in the secret base.

Xu Xiaoyan lowered her head with a complicated expression, her voice full of apology, "It's all my fault for accidentally dragging you into our families' private affairs when I was talking to Sister Siduo."

In Xu Xiaoyan's opinion, if her grandfather hadn't overheard her conversation with Wu Siduo, Su Mo would never have been dragged into this mess.

However, Su Mo simply waved his hand, looking relaxed, and said, "It's alright, I was just going along with what your old man was saying anyway."

"???"

Xu Xiaoyan and Wu Siduo were both taken aback and looked at Su Mo with their eyes full of doubt and curiosity.

Seeing the two's blank expressions, Su Mo couldn't help but chuckle, then shook his head helplessly and teased them in a half-serious tone.

"Didn't your grandfather just say that only this generation of Shrek Seven Devils has the right to change the landscape of Douluo Continent...? Then why not just not become Shrek Seven Devils?"

"Eh~"

Xu Xiaoyan subconsciously let out a gasp of surprise, never expecting Su Mo to think that way.

However, upon closer reflection, Xu Xiaoyan also felt that what Su Mo said might not be wrong.

As long as she and Wu Siduo fail to become Shrek Seven Devils, the Xu and Wu families' idea of ​​using the power of the Shrek Seven Devils to restore their country will naturally fall through, and they won't have to become the people they hate the most.

The thought of not having to become the person she hated most made Xu Xiaoyan's lips curl into a smile, while Wu Siduo stood by, hesitant to speak.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Wu Siduo hesitate to speak, Su Mo asked her with curiosity.

Seeing Su Mo looking at her, Wu Siduo panicked. She bit her lip gently, her voice tinged with embarrassment, "But... how can I avoid becoming one of the Shrek Seven Devils?"

"Sister Siduo, not wanting to become one of the Shrek Seven Devils is easy, just..."

Xu Xiaoyan was excitedly preparing to share her lazy tips with Wu Siduo, but she suddenly stopped halfway through her sentence and her expression froze.

Wu Siduo's talent is truly astonishing.

For others, becoming one of the Shrek Seven Devils might require tremendous effort and sweat.

For Wu Siduo, becoming one of the Shrek Seven Devils was almost a certainty.

With the White Tiger, a veteran top-tier offensive martial soul, and the Netherworld Cat, which can cooperate with the White Tiger to unleash a martial soul fusion skill, it would be difficult for Wu Siduo to be excluded from the Shrek Seven Devils.

Having no other choice, Xu Xiaoyan could only look at Su Mo again, hoping that Su Mo could offer some advice.

Even Su Mo was somewhat helpless in the face of Wu Siduo's situation.

Aside from Gu Yue and Tang Wulin, Su Mo couldn't think of anyone else of the same level who could defeat Wu Siduo and Su Mo, who could unleash a martial soul fusion technique on their own.

Judging solely from her strength, Wu Siduo has undoubtedly joined the ranks of the Shrek Seven Devils.

Wait a minute, let's look at it from the perspective of strength!

Su Mo had a sudden inspiration and leaned down to Wu Siduo's ear, whispering a few words.

Wu Siduo was stunned for a moment, then her eyes suddenly lit up, and she relaxed as if she had found a way out.

Seeing Sister Siduo's obvious relief, Xu Xiaoyan felt an itch in her heart, as if countless little ants were crawling on her, and impatiently asked.

"Su Mo, Su Mo! What did you say to Sister Si Duo?"

"It's nothing."

Su Mo reached out and ruffled Xu Xiaoyan's hair, her tone carrying a faint smile, "I just wanted to tell you, Sister Siduo, not to be too sociable, and to try to be a little more unconventional."

"Huh? Why? Does that mean Sister Siduo can't become one of the Shrek Seven Devils if she doesn't fit in?"

Xu Xiaoyan looked completely bewildered.

Seeing this, Su Mo couldn't help but chuckle, "Individual strength is certainly an important criterion for Shrek Academy to select the Shrek Seven Devils."

"But don't forget that the Shrek Seven Devils are first and foremost a group."

"I understand!"

Xu Xiaoyan clapped her hands suddenly and said excitedly, "So Su Mo, you plan to make Sister Siduo get kicked out by the other six monsters when she participates in the Shrek Seven Devils selection because of her personality."

"good!"

Seeing that Xu Xiaoyan finally understood what he meant, Su Mo nodded with satisfaction.

In the Douluo Continent, no team is more united than the Shrek Seven Devils.

A truly qualified team will never tolerate someone who is incompatible with the others.

So no matter how strong Wu Siduo is, if she can't integrate with the other six monsters, she will be kicked out.
