At this moment, changing the gift was no longer an option, so the Seventh Elder could only grit and grind his teeth as he raised his hands to greet Su Luo, awarding the prize to her.
Amidst the wild spurts of anger shooting out from the depths of Fairy Wu You''s eyes, Su Luo smilingly epted the prize.
Although she didn''t know what the prize was, since it was specially prepared for Fairy Wu You by the Seventh Elder, and looking at the Seventh Elder''s chagrined expression, Su Luo could guess that the prize must be extraordinary.
The Seventh Elder looked at Su Luo and pulled up the corners of his mouth, and then patted Su Luo''s shoulder amiably like an Elder encouraging a junior. "Not bad, little girl. Keep up the good work."
Just as the Seventh Elder patted his hand on Su Luo''s shoulder, Su Luo immediately felt a strong force surging towards her shoulder.
That me strike was powerful and forceful, with a little bit of probing intent.
At that moment, Su Luo understood that the Seventh Elder was beginning to suspect her as well.
A cold smile shed in Su Luo''s heart, and then-
"Poof--" Su Luo''s wildly spurted out a mouthful of blood, and then she turned around and looked at the Seventh Elder incredulously, with shock, surprise, disbelief, aggression, resentment… and so on shing across her eyes.
Su Luo''s weak body staggered back a step, and her dark, tearful eyes looked at the Seventh Elder, then at Fairy Wu You, and then…
Her body copsed softly.
All of this happened far too suddenly!
The Seventh Elder was a bit overwhelmed by this reaction!
The Seventh Elder froze, looking at Su Luo, and then looking at his own palm. He had only been trying to test the depth of this girl’s strength, why did it now look like he was trying to plot against her?
Was this girl made of paper? This fragile?
But when everyone present stared at the Seventh Elder with condemning and angry eyes, the Seventh Elder instantly knew… He had been wrongly used by Su Luo.
"I…" The Seventh Elder wanted to exin, but faced with those pairs of bright and snow-like gazes, he was immediately at a loss on how to defend himself.
Furthermore, he was a high and mighty Elder. Did he still need to exin himself to the trainees? At once, he coldly hummed and made to leave with a flick of his sleeve.
"Stop!" An angry voice forced its way towards the Seventh Elder.
Li Manman rushed up with big steps, hugging Su Luo while loudly denouncing the Seventh Elder. "What did you do to Su Luo? Tell me! What exactly did you do to her!?"
The Seventh Elder snorted coldly and put his hands behind his back!
Li Manman, with tears from her anger, cried out, "You''re an Elder! How could you hold such personal grudges!"
"That''s right!" The crowd on the stage echoed in unison with one voice.
The Seventh Elder was so angry that he was fuming with rage!
Li Manman continued to cry and shout, "Luo Luo doesn''t have a powerful master to back her up, nor does she have a group of men surrounding her! She was able to win against Fairy Wu You because she herself has the strength, so she deserves it!"
"That''s right!" The students all stared at the Seventh Elder angrily.
The Seventh Elder''s face was blue!
"As an Elder, you should know better than anyone else that it is forbidden to hurt people in private, but now, in front of everyone''s eyes, you are taking personal revenge to vent your anger for the sake of Fairy Wu You, and you are openly hurting the most outstanding student in this examination! Seventh Elder, how could you do this?!!!"
The students below the stage crusaded with one voice, "Seventh Elder, how could you do this?!!!"
This---this---this…
Since they were at the top of the mountain, their chorus shout rang out almost straight through the clouds, and even more so, echoed continuously in the secluded valley and spread far out into the distance.
