âNo!â the Seventh Elder shouted.
Wouldnât letting Su Luo go to the Pill Refining Tower with the Sixth Elder as her backer allow her to live even more comfortably? The Seventh Elder wanted Su Luo driven out, not driven to a better life!
âThen what do you want?â The Sixth Elder side-eyed him.
The Sixth Elder, as the head of all the pill refiners in Purgatory City, held a high status. Even among the Elders Group, he was given utmost respect. After all, who would take their own lives as jokes and offend the number one pill refiner for no reason.
The Seventh Elder smiled faintly, âWuyou is ranked 50th. If this girl tries for the 50th, it would be quite difficult indeed. However, doesnât she hold a life and death contract with Wuyou? There is no harm in having the competition in advance.â
The Sixth Elder replied quite discourteously, âHow old is your precious Wuyou? Around thirty, right? My little 1 here is only a teenager, do you have the nerve to compare her with your Wu girl? You really have the nerve? Are you serious right now?â
âDo you know how much our Su girlâs strength has grown in this past half year? Yet you're still competing in advance? Whoâs going to do that with you? In the next half-year, our Su girlâs strength will make another huge leap. Do you think everyone is like your old disciples, with no progress after so many years?â
The Sixth Elderâs body leaned forward, confronting him step by step.
The Seventh Elder could only back down as he was nearly forced to the ground.
He had indeed been rendered speechless by the Sixth Elder. Although he had a red face and clenched fists, he couldnât find any words to retaliate!
The Fourth Elder pulled the Sixth Elder back, âIf you have something to say, then say it properly. Why the urgency?â
âHow can you not feel the urgency? You people are ganging up to bully our Su girl. Of course, you donât feel any urgency!â The Sixth Elder grumbled.
The Fourth Elder let out a long sigh. He was aware that the Sixth Elder was unruly, but he hadnât expected for him to persist in such behavior for long.
âThen what do you suggest?â The Fourth Elder asked for the Sixth Elderâs opinion.
â70th rank,â the Sixth Elder moved a stool and sat down calmly. âDonât glare, Su girl has only been in the Genius Training Camp for so long. To be promoted to that rank this quickly already requires a genius among geniuses. You should hold yourself to the same expectations you ask, and see if you would measure up.â
As he said this, the Sixth Elder directed his gaze at the Fifth and Seventh Elders, offending those two Elders so much they nearly smacked him with the soles of their shoes.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âNo, it canât be 70th rank!â That was too easy. How could it force Su Luo to be driven away? The Fifth Elder firmly disagreed.
â51st rank!â The Seventh Elder slammed his case.
â51st? If you came to Upstream Mountain for a few months, could you immediately soar to 51st? What right do you have to make others do what you yourself cannot? 69th! 69th at the worst!â
âNo! 52!â
â68!ââ
â53!â
â67!â
The two high-status Elders who countless people looked up to, at this time were like people bargaining for food at the vegetable market, yelling loudly and slamming the table, each roaring louder than the other.
At last, they finally agreed.
Su Luo had to be assessed to the 60th rank! If Su Luo could not pass for 60th rank, she had to pack up and leave.
The Sixth Elder glanced at Su Luo helplessly; he could only assist her so far.
Su Luo gave the Sixth Elder a comforting smile, âItâs just the 60th rank.â
âDonât push yourself too hard. If thereâs no other way, then thereâs still the Pill Refining Tower. With Old Sixth here, no one will dare to stop you from entering!â The Sixth Elder slapped his chest and sent a deliberate look toward the Fifth Elder.
The Fifth Elder was angered by this; he felt his chest tighten and his eyes nearly rolled back.
