Lifting her pretty eyebrows, Fairy Wu You glanced sideways at the scarred man.
In an instant, the arrogant Brother Scar instantly turned into an obedient dog: "These two people came here for the Midstream Mountain assessment, but they were too late."
A person guarding next to Fairy Wu You sneered: "I haven't been here for many years. Has the Midstream Mountain really become worthless to this degree now? Even this kind of fool can place in the top three? So shameful."
In order to please their goddess, the others followed, scolding: "How far can the Midstream Mountain be from here? One can get here in half a day, they can actually walk for two days, and still be late? Are they even capable of participating in the assessment? Hurry up and get lost to your Midstream Mountain, don’t bring embarrassment to yourselves here.
Su Luo's fist clenched in a tight ball.
She had fantasized several times about how Fairy Wu You would set herself apart and be the object of everyone’s love and support. But if the person in front of her was really Fairy Wu You, Su Luo could not help but be disappointed.
At that moment, someone within the group of people let out a soft "Huh".
It was Lin Banli.
Su Luo sighed helplessly, what was meant to come would eventually come.
Sure enough, Lin Banli saw Su Luo and recognized her, so he greeted her in a subtle way.
In fact, he was not to blame. It was true that Su Luo's speed through the mountains was too astonishing! Lin Banli had witnessed Su Luo's assessment at the Genius Training Camp only a month ago, and it had only been in the span of a month. Only one month! Su Luo had already passed through the Distal End mountain, the Downstream mountain, and the Midstream mountain, and now she had arrived for the assessment at the Upper Mountain!
What! What kind of speed in advancement was this?
Moreover, back then it was only after the assessment that Su Luo broke through to the Commander Rank, but what about now?! She turned out to be a seven-star Commander rank. Wasn’t Saint rank now just around the corner?!
Lin Banli was shocked, his eyes widened, and he continued staring at Su Luo.
When Fairy Wu You saw one of her admirers staring at someone else like this, anger began to grow in her heart, and full of anger, she swept her eyes over Su Luo.
The instant she saw Su Luo, the Fairy Wu You who claimed to be an overwhelming being for all sentient beings, felt as if a thunderbolt had struck the clear sky, making her dumbfounded.
What kind of beautiful woman was this?
Her eyes were as clear as the autumn waters, bright eyes and white teeth, fairy-like jade bones, and no cosmetics on her face, as cosmetics would only stain her natural beauty.
She wore a goose yellow tunic that had been scraped by branches, the corners of her skirt were stained with mud, and the fabric was empty of embroidered patterns, embellishments, and accessories, with only two sashes fluttering in the wind. She stood so quiet that the countless sceneries behind her were like the backdrop embellishing her. At that moment, Fairy Wu You finally understood what it meant to truly wash away the vulgarities in life.
With a slight smile, Su Luo looked towards Fairy Wu You.
At that moment, Fairy Wu You subconsciously took a step back.
With just a glance, the beautiful woman in front of her had managed to put her on edge.
"Su Luo? Is that really you?" Lin Banli at last recovered from his shock and looked at her in surprise.
Su Luo rolled her eyes in displeasure. Could he be doing this on purpose?
"You arrived here from the Distal End Mountain this quickly, and you seem to be much stronger than last time. What kind of miracle medicine did you take?" Lin Banli said happily as he ran towards Su Luo.
Before Su Luo could reply, Fairy Wu You's cold eyes swept towards Lin Banli.
"You know her?" Fairy Wu You raised her chin and glanced at Su Luo with arrogance. At that moment, she had already recovered her lofty air of a domineering queen, who was above everyone else.
"Yes, I met her a month ago when she was undergoing the assessment of the Genius Training Camp…" Lin Banli said, with a slight change on his face, because he had just recalled that Su Luo and the Third Elder were enemies…
A month ago, the Genius Training Camp assessment?
This sentence shocked many people, including Fairy Wu You.
It was not terrible to be more beautiful than her, but if she was more talented than her, then this was too much to bear! She would never allow such a woman to continue maturing.
Fairy Wu You glanced at Su Luo with cold eyes, and asked Lin Banli with a casual tone: "Su Luo? Why does this name sound so familiar?"
Lin Banli: "…"
Lin Banli was embarrassed because he knew that Luo Yichen was protecting Su Luo.
"Hmm?" Fairy Wu You hummed with a faint sound, but her manner wasn’t angry, making Lin Banli uncertain on how to answer.
Seeing that Lin Banli didn't reply, Fairy Wu You's thin eyebrows lifted a millimeter.
Seeing the upset gaze of Fairy Wu You, the rest of her admirers became unhappy, and one by one began to run towards Lin Banli.
"Lin Banli, do you still want to hang out with us? Get lost if you don't want to!"
"If you make Fairy Wu You unhappy for a moment, we will make you unhappy for a lifetime!"
"You have the opportunity to share the worries for Wu You, and yet you’re finding all kinds of excuses? What is wrong with you?"
Su Luo: “…”
Big Sister Wei: “…”
Seeing Su Luo's expression of disbelief, Lin Banli's expression twisted, and he walked in silence, step by step, back to the side of Fairy Wu You, and then whispered something into her ear.
After he finished saying these words, Fairy Wu You's indifferent expression turned into a thick layer of frost, and her gaze towards Su Luo became as sharp as the tip of an iceberg, as if she was digging her eyes into her like a dagger!
"So, the vile wench who opposed my master turns out to be you?" The frost on Fairy Wu You's face faded, replaced by a sneer.
Su Luo stood up straight, and she met Fairy Wu You's gaze with a neither humble nor arrogant expression, just a calm smile at the corner of her mouth: "I don't understand what you mean."
"My master is the Third Elder of Mingyue Hall." Fairy Wu You looked at Su Luo with mocking eyes, as if she were looking at a dead person.
Indeed, a woman who Fairy Wu You was unhappy with, was the equivalent of a dead person.
Everyone knew that in this Genius Training Camp, you could offend anyone but Fairy Wu You. Otherwise, you would meet a miserable end.
Fairy Wu You decided that she didn't have to wait for Su Luo to comprehend this rule, and that she was already a dead person.
"Third Elder of Mingyue Palace? Yes, I’ve heard of her." Su Luo said with indifference.
"Hmm? “That’s all?” Fairy Wu You frowned and stared at Su Luo.
Su Luo smiled and looked at her.
For a while, the two stood face to face, and something seemed to collide and burn with violence between them.
Suddenly, Fairy Wu You laughed out loud: "Very well, you dare to fight against my master, now that is really courageous, but this Senior sister will tell you--"
Fairy Wu You leaned over and whispered in Su Luo's ear: "Dare to offend me? Your death is certain."
