However, it was rare for the Great Elder to be so forthright in speaking to Su Luo.
The Great Elder seemed to understand what Su Luo was thinking, and said with a wry smile, "The City Lord once sent a message over a thousand miles, instructing us to take good care of you, little girl."
However, that long speech also made it clear that the girl should be given enough training and not interfere too much. Otherwise, the Great Elder would not allow the Third Elder to act in that way.
Even if Su Luo had no enemies, the Great Elder would create them, laying stepping stones for Su Luo's progress. Therefore, the appearance of the Third Elder's group was timely and useful. Of course, it was not appropriate to say these words to Su Luo at this time. The Great Elder only silently criticized the City Lord's thoughtful and considerate care for Su Luo.
Su Luo smiled and said, "It doesn't matter to me, but my friends seem to be a bit troublesome."
"Oh?" The Great Elder pretended not to know.
Su Luo cursed the old fox in her heart.
Seeing that the old fox didn't follow the topic, Su Luo could only speak first, "The Great Elder knows that my friends' cultivation is quite good on the mainland, but when they arrived in Purgatory City, they couldn't keep up with the main force. But the Third Elder sees me as a thorn in his side and wants to get rid of me as soon as possible."
Seeing that the Great Elder wanted to defend himself, Su Luo said calmly, "Great Elder, don't deny it. There are no outsiders here. Why did the third round of testing start early? Great Elder, do you want to explain to me?"
The Great Elder gave a wry smile. How could the person the City Lord favored be just an ordinary person? This girl was smarter than he had imagined.
Su Luo sneered and looked deeply at the Great Elder, the meaning in her eyes was self-evident.
The Great Elder laughed: "Do you want me to send someone to protect them?"
Su Luo nodded. "After I enter the genius training camp, the Third Elder can't do anything to me because her reach isn't that far. She can't control what happens in the genius training camp. Then, my friends will become her targets for retaliation. What do you think of my concerns, Great Elder?"
Su Luo knew that since the City Lord had instructed the Great Elder, the Great Elder would certainly protect her. However, given the City Lord's arrogant temper, how could he possibly ask the Great Elder to protect her friends? So, why would the Great Elder oppose the Third Elder for this?
Only a major temptation that the Great Elder cannot refuse will work.
The Great Elder sighed deeply. After being a fellow apprentice for so many years, how could he not know the Third Elder's temper? Su Luo's every word hit the nail on the head. So, the Great Elder sighed and admitted, "Everything you said is true."
"If the Great Elder can protect them, then I will definitely help you get the Imperial Grade Spiritual Replenishing Pill when I see Master." Su Luo offered the greatest temptation.
Moreover, Su Luo knew that the Great Elder could not resist this temptation at all. Because on the entire continent, the only one who could refine the Emperor-level Soul-Replenishing Pill was Master Rong Yun.
Others can't ask for it, but for Su Luo, it's just a matter of acting coquettishly, very simple.
The Great Elder smiled bitterly and nodded: "How could I refuse this deal?"
The Imperial Soul-Replenishing Pill was the elixir he had longed for. He had been stuck at the bottleneck of Saint Rank Nine Star for many, many years. If his soul could be repaired, then he would have a great chance of being promoted to the Monarch Rank.
