The Fifth Elder felt as though he had been given a vicious slap, leaving him tittering in his anger… His eyes turned bloodshot as he glared at Su Luo. If not for the shred of intelligence left in his fuming mind, he would have already rushed over in utter fury.
The Fourth Elder tugged at the Fifth Elder’s sleeve to signal to him to keep quiet.
“Are you sure that your Master is Grandmaster Rong Yun?” The Fourth Elder calmly looked at Su Luo.
Grandmaster Rong Yun was the unanimous first place among all apothecaries in the continent, and any Emperor Pills refined by him would cause everyone to rush in a mad frenzy to obtain them.
Furthermore, not only was Grandmaster Rong Yun exceedingly distinguished in his achievements as an apothecary, he was also an expert that could match up to the City Lord in terms of martial arts. Who would dare to offend him?
Now, this lass Su Luo was actually saying that she’s Grandmaster Rong Yun’s disciple? How would people dare believe her?
“Yes.” Su Luo moved about in a carefree manner, her hands crossed behind her back as she proudly stood up.
If not for the presence of a strong backing, the calm and proud manner she was able to maintain before the group of Elders would indicate that she did not fear anyone at all.
The Seventh Elder swirled his steaming cup of fragrant tea and took a gulp, before speaking on in a slow manner, “Since Grandmaster Rong Yun is your master, why do you still want to come to Purgatory City? Could it be that you're unaware that City Lord and Grandmaster Rong Yun are irreconcilable enemies?”
The corners of the Seventh Elder’s eyes rose to form an ambiguous smile as he swept a thoughtful glance at Su Luo. His eyes were filled with ridicule, as though he had already determined that she was lying.
“My Master had indeed not wanted for me to come over.” Su Luo recalled the situation then.
“Oh?” the Seventh Elder dragged out his response.
“However, my adoptive father was adamant on me coming to Purgatory City. Furthermore, my master lost a bet to my adoptive father, so I headed over here.” In an honest recount, Su Luo’s words were the truth, with not one bit of a lie present within.
However, the few Elders present here clearly did not believe her.
Purgatory City was cut off from the outside world, with its citizens being severely restricted from traveling across the continent without any special extenuating reasons. Therefore, the citizens of Purgatory City did not know about the penultimate fight that occurred.
Moreover, these few Elders were not one bit interested in the matters of the continent, as they felt that the people over there were akin to weak ants, leaving them utterly clueless to the happenings in the outside world.
Therefore, the Elders exchanged smiles with each other after hearing that Grandmaster Rong Yun had lost. In fact, the Seventh Elder had a beaming smile on his face as he looked towards Su Luo: “So Grandmaster Rong Yun actually lost?
Having finished his question, the Seventh Elder sipped on his fragrant tea to soothe his throat.
“My adoptive father is the City Lord.” Su Luo subconsciously revealed this explosive news. Her reply was quick, with a tone one would use when saying a fact…
However—
“Puff—” The Seventh Elder violently spurted out the tea in his mouth!
Fortunately, Su Luo managed to duck in time, to prevent her face from being covered in tea.
Su Luo was instantly displeased as she shouted out loudly, “Seventh Elder! You’re attempting murder!”
The Seventh Elder always held himself with grace and poise, so how could he tolerate his ungraceful action! Furthermore, him being chastised by Su Luo in front of everyone caused him to fill up with so much anger, his eyes turned round!
“You wretched lass! Of anyone you could involve in your proclamation, you actually dare to pass yourself off as Sir City Lord’s adopted daughter! You’re really tossing your life away!” The Seventh Elder roared as he rushed forward to mete out justice against Su Luo.
Nevertheless, the Fourth Elder held on to the Seventh Elder’s shoulders: “Old Seventh, calm down. Don't be impulsive!”
While doing so, the Fourth Elder’s mind was still submerged in dizzying confusion.
The disciple of Grandmaster Rong Yun, the adopted daughter of the City Lord… If those two identities were real, it was more than sufficient to cause chaos across the entire continent!
