“Hehehe, just kidding, just kidding.” The Seventh Elder also knew that they would have to rely on Su Luo for a lot of the things that came next and thus couldn\'t offend her too much. So he cupped his hands to Su Luo: “It’s for the safety of the whole team, so it was hard to avoid speaking harshly. Lass, you won’t take offense, right?

Su Luo sighed: “Seventh Elder, if you call me that again, I’m afraid my leg will shake and take us down a bad route.”

The Seventh Elder’s expression immediately stiffened.

He didn’t expect Su Luo to give him so little face; she had essentially slapped him then and there. He was still the leader of the team, you know!

The Seventh Elder’s face darkened, and he sneered: “This is a remote place where the law doesn’t reach. The Fourth Elder can’t protect you here either. You’d better do your job properly as the key. If not… Hmph!”

The Seventh Elder took the lead and started up the mountain.

Li Luoming sent Su Luo a gloating smile before following eagerly.

Fairy Bingqing stuck up her chin provocatively and didn’t even spare Su Luo a glance before she left, with her receding figure proud and aloof.

Ouyang Xi stood beside Su Luo, wrinkling his brows slightly. He advised her: “For better or for worse, the Seventh Elder is the leader. You shouldn’t antagonize him.”

Su Luo gave him a look, without saying anything.

Ouyang Xi once again advised: “I know you have high aspirations, but this is outside the Upstream Mountain after all. The Seventh Elder has the final say. You… After all, we still have to help Senior Brother Luo find the Spring of Eternal Youth.”

Su Luo nodded: “I know.”

Then, she went ahead.

There was no way that Ouyang Xi couldn’t tell that the Seventh Elder and the rest were targeting her. Yet even in this situation, he still wanted Su Luo to restrain herself and endure their actions. However, some things were about honor. She had the means to strike back, so why should she simply endure?

“Senior Brother Zhang?” Su Luo saw Senior Brother Zhang at the side waiting for her, smiling thinly.

“In a bad mood?” Zhang Wang looked and smiled at Su Luo like an older brother.

Su Luo thought that Senior Brother Zhang must have heard her conversation with Ouyang Xi.

Su Luo had thought that she would be walking a bit more closely with Ouyang Xi. After all, the two of them had the same objective of helping Senior Brother Luo find medicine. But now, she didn’t think so anymore.

“Does Senior Brother Zhang also think I should endure the humiliation and suffer in silence?” Su Luo smilingly asked.

To be honest, she didn’t have much hope.

In Upstream Mountain, having a deep reverence for one’s teachers was a deeply entrenched way of thinking. Talking back and even opposing an Elder was unheard of; it was like being a outsider.

Zhang Wang smiled: “Can you?”

“No.” Su Luo straightforwardly answered.

“Since you can’t, then isn’t that it?” Zhang Wang’s sharp eyebrows raised slightly.

From his master’s serious words, Zhang Wang could more or less guess that Su Luo’s identity was out of the ordinary, but he had a good first impression of Su Luo. He wasn’t protecting her simply because of her mysterious identity.

“Does Senior Brother Zhang also agree that I should oppose the Seventh Elder?” Su Luo was suddenly in a better mood.

“Even if you don’t oppose him, does that mean he’ll stop provoking you?” When Zhang Wang thought about it, he felt that this girl Su Luo had been well behaved. She had never stirred up any trouble, but that Seventh Elder on the other hand kept bothering Su Luo like he had nothing better to do.

“Senior Brother Zhang is an understanding person.” Su Luo was now in a good mood as she patted Senior Brother Luo’s shoulders. “Indeed, you prove yourself to be someone who was taught by the Fourth Elder. You’re rather pleasing to the eye.”

“Truly, many thanks.” Senior Brother Zhang smiled lightly.

When Ouyang Xi saw the two people laughing and chatting, he was involuntarily stunned for a moment. A faint sense of loss in his heart set in, as if he had been suddenly isolated.
