Her gaze swept over the faces of those four people.
With a single glance, Su Luo could see in their eyes that these people didn’t share the same way of thinking. However, even if they had different mindsets, so what? After all, they just needed to work together once.
Su Luo let them introduce themselves.
Luo Qing, three-star Saint Rank. Male. One of his eyes was bigger than the other. At a glance, there was an interesting look to him. When Luo Yichen wasn’t around, he would serve as the deputy leader. In fact, it was already good enough if Luo Yichen showed up once out of a hundred times.
Tian Mang, two-star Saint Rank. Male. Just like his name, he had a burly and tall physique, was muscular coupled with a reckless personality.
Xu Yin, two-star Saint Rank. Male. At a glance, he looked normal, with nothing that seemed out of the ordinary in his appearance. However, Su Luo took a little longer look at him than at the others, as she had noticed a hidden breath of darkness coming from him. Therefore, she came to the conclusion that this person was extremely suited to be a spy or an assassin.
Li Man Man, one-star Saint Rank. Female. If she wasn’t compared to Fairy Wu You or Su Luo, she would be considered to be a real beauty. However, her personality seemed somewhat haughty and arrogant.
These four people finished their brief self-introductions with calm and indifferent looks in their eyes, especially from the beautiful lady. As arrogant as a peacock, she took advantage of the others’ obliviousness to glare at Suo Luo fiercely.
Su Luo was speechless. It looked like if she wanted to pick some Poisonous Serpent Scorpion Grass on her trip to the Inner Magical Beast Zone, it would be no laughing matter. At the very least, she wouldn’t receive very good treatment.
Nevertheless, the only thing Su Luo wanted to do right now was to pick all the Poisonous Serpent Scorpion Grass to treat Big Sister Wei. She held no interest towards any other matters right now.
Since going on with it was better than falling into conflict, Su Luo decided to start the journey.
Luo Yichen’s residence wasn’t very far from the Magical Beast Zone. In reality, there was a certain way of doing things for those on the Dragon List: The higher one’s ranking was, the higher one’s chance of staying close to the Magical Beast Zone.
Not only was it convenient for them, it also served as an intimidation factor towards those magical beasts.
Not long after leaving the city, Su Luo had already been on the receiving end of the others’ disdain.
The girl by the name of Li Man Man glared at Su Luo with disdain, then hit Su Luo forcefully on purpose with her shoulder when she passed her by!
She followed this up by wearing a scowl on her face, as if Su Luo owed her hundreds of thousands of points.
Su Luo’s eyes flashed in response to the nonsensical provocations Li Man Man was throwing her way, but she did not follow suit with any reaction of her own. She was no longer the age of a young girl who would bicker with others.
However, the expression on Li Man Man’s face became very long when she saw Su Luo ignoring all of her provocations. Stomping back over to Su Luo, she proceeded to give her a fierce glare.
Su Luo coldly passed by her shoulder, but she was obstructed by Li Man Man from moving forward.
Left with no other option, Su Luo sighed: “What do you want?”
“Who are you exactly?” Li Man Man crossed her arms in a haughty manner while asking with a cold snort.
“That’s none of your concern.” Su Luo gave a short and precise answer.
“How is it not my concern? You are now living in Senior brother Luo’s home, Senior brother Luo… is now staying so close to you. What if you were to try to assassinate him? Therefore, for his safety, we need to know who you are!” Li Man Man choked on her words for an instant before managing to come up with a reason.
Luo Qing, Tian Mang, and Su Yin all looked to the sky… assassinating Senior brother Luo… what a nonsensical reason this was.
Su Luo smiled lightly: “You’re stepping out of your bounds. Senior brother Luo ordered you all to accompany me into the Magical Beast Zone, not for you all to interrogate me.”
Li Man Man grew so mad as she stomped her feet, “Honestly, even if you don’t tell me, I already know who you are! You are just a person from Midstream Mountain who is here to take the assessment! You are even worse than the worst person in the Upstream Mountain! What is there to be proud of? If not for that face of yours, why would Senior brother Luo treat you this well?”
Staring at Su Luo’s incomparably beautiful face, Li Man Man seemed so consumed with jealousy that it seemed her entire body was in flames. That face truly made her feel so self-conscious that she felt like committing suicide!
Su Luo tilted her head and after some thought, she said without any hesitation or embarrassment: “Yes, I have this face, while you don’t have any face at all. No wonder why Senior brother Luo doesn’t even recognize you.”
Li Man Man was practically hopping with rage!
“You! You! You! You need to be clear here! Right now, we are the ones helping you! And yet this is the attitude you show while asking for help?!”
Shrugging her shoulders, Su Luo spread her arms and replied in a sly tone: “Senior Brother Luo was the one who asked you guys to help me. Therefore, in accordance with this, I’m the one who owes him a favor. If you want me to treat you with a “good attitude,” you should go ask for Senior Brother Luo for it.”
“You are just relying on Senior brother Luo’s preferential treatment to you!” Li Man Man yelled back in anger.
“That’s right, Senior Brother Luo treats me really well.” Su Luo replied as though she was agreeing to a fact.
Li Man Man was so angry that she couldn’t breathe.
Being the deputy leader of the team, Luo Qing stepped forward and began to mediate the conflict when he saw the two girls starting to fight: “Hey, everyone here’s on the same side. We are going to stay together no matter what, so why are you guys fighting for? Stop fighting, alright, stop fighting.”
Li Man Man looked at her team deputy leader with tear-stricken eyes: “Senior Brother Luo Qing! She bullied me!”
Luo Qing felt his head start to ache… You claimed to be bullied after losing to Su Luo in a verbal argument? If that were the case, many people would be bullying you.
However, with her normally playing the role of the special Junior Sister within the group, her Senior Brothers would always pamper and indulge her. Therefore, Luo Qing rubbed her head: “Alright, alright, you are older than Miss Su, so what’s wrong with taking on more responsibility?”
In truth, she was more than twice Su Luo’s age, but Senior Brother Luo Qing would definitely not say such a cruel thing out loud.
But when he reminded her of her age, Li Man Man had already exploded!
Not only had Senior Brother Luo been taken away from her, her title of being the youngest and most pampered… This position had also been taken away by Su Luo! Seething with fury, she gave Luo Qing a vicious shove: “All of you men are the same! As soon as you see her beauty, all of you just want to protect her as if she were some kind of treasure, while treating me like some grass by the roadside!”
Su Luo: “…”
Exactly who had raised such a silly and naive girl up? Those people should really stand up and take responsibility for her. Su Luo stared at Senior Brother Luo Qing.
Speechless, Luo Qing continued to pat his Junior Sister’s shoulder: “She is under the care of Senior Brother Luo…”
These words immediately brought about another conflict!
“That’s because Senior Brother Luo’s eyes have been blinded! He will soon see clearly who is the one that is truly good to him!” Li Man Man was so mad that her face turned crimson red as she clenched tight her fists!
After ridiculing Senior Brother Luo, she turned and started to ridicule Su Luo yet again: “Look at her! She is only a seven-star Commander Rank, and all of you are helping her to get into the deepest parts of the Magical Beast Zone? Isn’t she just sending herself to death by going there? If we go in there, isn’t it us who will have to protect her? She is such a big trouble and she will only get in our way, and all she knows is how to annoy others. How annoying!”
Luo Qing looked at Su Luo apologetically, then again tried to convince his Junior Sister with a warm voice: “She is still young. Having all these achievements as only a teenager, she definitely has a lot of potential. After a while, she will be stronger than us; your expectations are just too high right now.”
Li Man Man had insulted Su Luo in order to establish a sense of superiority, but after Luo Qing explained, not only she didn’t get a sense of superiority, she felt inferior to Su Luo.
She. Couldn’t. Accept. This!
