This statement was even more shocking than the young lord Long Qiushui bringing five people to enter the Heavenly Dao Garden just now.
From all directions, everyone was stunned, staring blankly at Chu Mo.
In many people's eyes, there was even a strong sense of skepticism!
A female cultivator couldn't help but mutter, "Has this man gone mad? He's taking people in? Haha, do we look blind to you? As if we didn't see him standing there like a fool for ages? What ability does he have to take people inside? By force?"
What this female cultivator said out loud was what many people were thinking.
But at the same time, there were also some who looked at Chu Mo with a grave expression, because they felt that the young man did not look insane. He seemed very serious.
The party from Long Qiushui's side was all taken aback at first, and then several of them soon wore expressions of mockery on their faces.
The girl in the yellow dress, Tong Ying, looked at Chu Mo with some worry, hoping he hadn't been provoked into spouting such nonsense. That would make for a difficult situation to resolve.
Zhao Dongming was quite irked by Chu Mo, the brash individual who had popped out to "snipe" their opportunity, and would have taught this youngster a lesson if it weren't for his own sense of status. He scoffed from the side, "You can't even get in yourself, yet you want to bring others inside? What do you think this place is?"
The lady in the red dress, Zhang Shuangshuang, was much more direct. She walked up to Chu Mo with a sneer, "You mangy cur, have you lost your mind? With your trashy presence, reeking of a bumpkin, what makes you think you qualify to enter the Heavenly Dao Garden?"
"You want to strike me?" Chu Mo asked calmly.
"So what if I do? Shouldn't someone like you, who doesn't know when to advance or retreat and is oblivious to danger, be taught a lesson?" Zhang Shuangshuang was still annoyed at having been forced to take several steps back by this man's gaze just now and felt an intense dislike towards Chu Mo.
The young lord Long Qiushui still hadn't spoken, but there was a hint of amusement in his eyes.
At that moment, Chu Mo looked towards the two guards who were obviously troubled and said indifferently, "Is this how the Heavenly Dao Garden treats its guests? You allow fighting at the entrance?"
Zhang Shuangshuang looked at Chu Mo with a face full of mockery, "What's wrong, are you scared?"
Chu Mo ignored her and just looked towards the guards at the entrance.
One of the guards was also unsure now; although Chu Mo had been standing there for quite some time, heaven only knew if he had a card from the Heavenly Dao Garden. If he did... and they happened to offend him by accident, that would be troublesome.
However, the other guard said coldly, "Of course fighting is not allowed at the entrance of the Heavenly Dao Garden, but if you are not a guest of the Heavenly Dao Garden, please keep your distance from here and do not harass the esteemed guests of the Heavenly Dao Garden."
The woman in the red dress, Zhang Shuangshuang, immediately looked triumphant, tilting her chin up and gazing at Chu Mo with disdain, taunting, "Did you hear that? Trash, you better get lost while I'm still in a good enough mood not to make it worse."
At this time, the woman in the white dress looked at Chu Mo with concern and couldn't help but whisper softly, "Let it go, we're strangers, there's no need to make things worse. Let's leave."
"Leave?" Zhao Dongming scoffed, "Kneel down and admit your mistake! Then get lost!"
"Right, kneel down and admit your mistake, and then get lost!" Zhang Shuangshuang also said coldly, "You think you can just make a mistake and walk away? Where in this world do you find such luck?"
"Leave? Who said I was leaving?" Chu Mo looked at the guard who had told him to stay away and not to harass the esteemed guests of the Heavenly Dao Garden and calmly pulled out a card from his clothes, "If they count as esteemed guests, what am I?"
"Hahaha, has this guy lost his mind? Do you think you can fool anyone with just some random card you pull out?" Zhang Shuangshuang, the lady in the red dress, burst into uncontrollable laughter upon seeing Chu Mo actually produce a card. She completely disbelieved that such a bumpkin could possess a VIP card from Heavenly Dao Garden, and what's more, the color of that card—what kind of color is this? Green? Since when did Heavenly Dao Garden have cards of this color? But then, a thought exploded in her mind like lightning, and her laughter ceased in an instant. She looked at the card in Chu Mo's hand in utter disbelief, "Green... jade? Eh? This is... this is a jade card, how... how is this possible? It must be fake!"
In the end, Zhang Shuangshuang became somewhat tongue-tied. Shock painted her face as she gazed at the ordinary-looking jade card in Chu Mo's hand.
Long Qiushui was also stunned, finding it hard to believe as he looked at the card in Chu Mo's hand, his eyes shimmering as if galaxies were swirling within, profoundly shocked.
Zhao Dongming stared blankly at the card in Chu Mo's hand, as if the seemingly ordinary jade card held a tremendous magic that drew in his gaze wildly, making it almost impossible for him to look away.
Tong Ying, the lady in the yellow dress, watched Chu Mo intently, her mouth slightly open in shock and disbelief. Although she felt sympathy for him, she could not fathom that he could produce such a card—a card that no one should be able to present!
The woman in the white dress was completely dumbfounded too. She stared at Chu Mo, her beautiful eyes not only filled with shock but also an intense sense of awe.
As for the bystanders watching the scene, the moment Chu Mo took out the jade card, they all turned into statues, standing stupefied, seemingly having lost even their capacity to think.
Jade card!
This young cultivator, looking handsome and possessing good demeanor but an aura less imposing than other young nobles, had actually produced a jade card!
For everyone, it was a huge shock, as if it fundamentally overturned their understanding of the world in a short time!
How could this be?
Zhang Shuangshuang, dressed in her beautiful red dress, stood there gaping, muttering, "This can't be real!"
Zhao Dongming, who wanted Chu Mo to kneel and admit his mistake, now found himself speechless, unable to utter a single sound, let alone the mocking and humiliating words he had planned.
The light in Long Qiushui's eyes grew deeper as he slowly said, "A jade card, tsk... Since the founding of Heavenly Dao Garden, it's said that only two of these cards were ever issued. One of them, whose owner is unknown, has never been seen; the other is in the hands of the Drifting Empress! But the Drifting Empress has never entered Heavenly Dao Garden. Later, she gave her card to her disciple, the Imperial Master of Purple Smoke. The Imperial Master of Purple Smoke indeed visited Heavenly Dao Garden a few times. Is the card in your hand the one from the Imperial Master of Purple Smoke, or is it the one that has never appeared before?"
Unlike Zhang Shuangshuang, Long Qiushui did not question the authenticity of Chu Mo's jade card. After all, anyone who wasn't insane wouldn't dare to show off a counterfeit card in front of Heavenly Dao Garden, especially a jade card that only had two in existence.
Chu Mo looked at Long Qiushui, his expression calm as he said, "What's it to you?"
Long Qiushui's face turned dark in an instant.
Chu Mo didn't look at him anymore. Instead, he turned to the Heavenly Dao Garden guard, who was equally dumbstruck, "How many people can I take inside?"
The guard stared at Chu Mo, his mouth twitching violently, his lips moving, but almost losing the ability to speak. Another guard, however, approached cautiously, his eyes shooting two beams of light onto the jade card in Chu Mo's hand. In just a moment, he withdrew his gaze and then, with utmost respect, said, "You are the most esteemed guest of Heavenly Dao Garden, you may take as many people in as you like!"
As soon as these words were said, the eyes of the increasingly gathering crowd of cultivators, both men and women, lit up instantly, all looking at Chu Mo with intense eagerness.
As for those cultivators who had just ridiculed Chu Mo, they wished they could come over and kowtow to apologize on the spot!
Chu Mo completely ignored them all. Pointing to the white-dressed woman beside him, he said indifferently, "I'm only taking her with me."
