Li Luoming was now afraid that Su Luo would not dare to compete with him.
Without competing, how could Li Luoming show his superior strength? They had to compete. They absolutely had to compete!
Under Li Luoming’s urging, Su Luo silently glanced at Fifth Elder.
Fifth Elder’s eyes flashed with a strange and inexplicably cold light. He was not as brainless as Li Luoming, so he was much more cautious against Su Luo.
In order to prevent more issues from arising, Fifth Elder glanced at Li Luoming disinterestedly: "A competition? There's no need for that."
Now that all of the witnesses and evidence had been gathered, the matter was nearing its end, and they could have Su Luo rightfully imprisoned. So why would they still be afraid of being unable to obtain the Nine Yin and Nine Yang Falling Cloud Flower?
Therefore, Fifth Elder was opposed to the idea.
When Fifth Elder said so, Li Luoming suddenly felt a little upset! Would his opportunity to shine in public be lost just like this?
At this time, the Eighth Elder laughed: "Fifth Elder, there seems to be an error in your words. The fastest way to clear Su Luo of suspicion would be for them to compete in front of everyone. So why are you against it? Could it be…"
The ellipses at the end of that line really stirred up one’s imagination.
Fifth Elder’s expression turned dark in an instant.
He just knew that the Eighth Elder had no good intentions in suddenly coming over here to oversee the situation! This Eighth Elder was truly despicable. His own disciples had been killed by that wretched girl, and he was still protecting her?
At this moment, the Eighth Elder had already turned his gaze toward Su Luo. He asked in a light voice: "What do you say?"
Su Lu stepped out with her head held high and her voice clear and cold: "If I refine a Master Marrow-cleansing Pill in public, you’ll be able to see without a doubt that I am innocent!
"But if I can't refine a Master Marrow-cleansing Pill, I am willing to hand over the Nine Yin and Nine Yang Falling Cloud Flower… even though this isn’t enough to prove that I stole the prescription for the Master Marrow-cleansing Pill."
Su Luo beamed as she looked at Fifth Elder. Didn’t he want the Nine Yin and Nine Yang Falling Cloud Flower? She didn't believe that he would still oppose the competition if she threw out this bait.
Sure enough, Fifth Elder took the bait.
"Since you’re rushing to prove your innocence… Sure, compete in public," Fifth Elder finally agreed.
Su Luo nodded.
If she had to compete in public, then so be it. After all, she wasn’t like some pointlessly gorgeous embroidered pillow; she had real strength.
At this moment, everyone gathered around, forming a circle.
"Do you think that Su Luo can refine a Master Marrow-cleansing Pill?"
"Of course, it's impossible! She’s so young. Even if she started learning just after she was born, she definitely wouldn’t be able to reach the Master Apothecary."
"Wasn’t it said that she refined a Master Pill before?"
"Sheesh, you even believed such a rumor? Su Luo was cheating! She had a Master Pill in her possession, and she just took it out when she emerged from the room!"
"To think that this girl actually cheated!"
Listening to these rumors, Su Luo sneered inwardly.
As long as she refined the Master Pill in public, she would be able to prove her innocence.
After all, a Master Apothecary would only steal their opponent’s Elite Pill prescription if they were crazy, especially when this was occurring in the Pill Refining Tower where every kind of pill-refining tool and medicinal herb could be found.
Soon, two pill-refining furnaces were placed in front of Li Luoming and Su Luo.
Naturally, Li Luoming was going to refine his Elite Marrow-cleansing Pill.
Li Luoming was extremely proud of himself for that. This was because it had not been long since he had gotten promoted to an Elite Apothecary, and he had just learned how to refine the Elite Marrow-cleansing Pill. So, he very complacently wanted to show off to everyone.
When Li Luoming was making the pills, his movements were frivolous, and his whole body was about to float with complacency.
On the contrary, Su Luo…
The difference between what she and Li Luoming were refining lay in the three bundles of herbs she chose for refining the Marrow-cleansing Pill.
