But the Fourth Elder forcefully pulled Su Luo back, lifted his head, and smiled towards the Mad Lion King: “Master, this girl is still young and has a stubborn temper. She’s only spent a short time on the Upstream Mountain and hasn’t learned the proper behavior yet. May you extend your magnanimity…”
The Fourth Elder knew that the Mad Lion King most liked to use the Lion King’s Divine Palm to gauge a student’s cultivation. But the problem was that all the people who made it here in the past years were at least top three in the Dragon List. How could Su Luo possibly endure blows from his master? He was afraid that she would get smashed to pieces.
“Noisy.” The Mad Lion King unhappily glared at the Fourth Elder and then smiled at Su Luo, beckoning her over: “Girl, don’t mind him. You come over.”
He was very much like a suspicious uncle luring children with candy.
The Fourth Elder anxiously looked at Su Luo. He wanted to pull her back, but he didn’t dare to. Since he couldn’t do it, he just watched helplessly as Su Luo walked over…
The Fourth Elder looked at Su Luo with a kind of pity. The Lion King’s Divine Palm was the move that the Mad Lion king loved to use the most against the younger generation; this was just his way of greeting them.
Back then, Luo Yichen was already third on the Dragon List, and after the Lion King’s Divine Palm, he was immediately sent flying. He couldn’t even crawl back up and vomited blood for a whole month afterward. At that time, the Mad Lion King would always be smiling like this before unleashing the Divine Palm.
The Fourth Elder turned his back to them; he truly couldn't bear to look.
Right now, Su Luo was walking with light steps. She held her hands behind her back as she strolled along relaxedly. Then she casually took out her own woven mat and sat down beside the Mad Lion King.
“Eh.” The Fourth Elder didn’t hear the sound of Su Luo getting sent flying, so he felt that something was strange.
He waited and waited some more, but he did not hear Su Luo’s voice. Could it be that she was knocked unconscious without experiencing the Divine Palm?
The Fourth Elder suddenly turned around, but what he saw was a scene he would not forget for the rest of his life.
He saw two people, one old and one young, sitting quite closely together. That was all fine and well, but there was an unexpected problem. This pair had melons in hand, and they were eating and chatting!
What was going on here? The Fourth Elder was stunned.
According to past events, it shouldn’t have gone down like this…
“You see, he’s just like a dumb goose. No fun at all.” The Mad Lion King pointed at the Fourth Elder, roasting him in front of Su Luo.
“Besides being somewhat stiff, the Fourth Elder has actually been quite good. He also speaks on my behalf a lot,” Su Luo stealthily gave the Fourth Elder a bit of praise.
What about the Lion King’s Divine Palm? What about the trial? What about the explosive temper? The more the Fourth Elder looked at this pair, the more uneasy he felt, and he stepped forward: “You two… What’s going on?”
The Fourth Elder felt that this master of his did not feel like a master at all now.
The Mad Lion King’s eyes narrowed, and his expression froze. With an icy piercing glare, he said, “For not respecting elders, punish yourself in the Demon Blade Abyss for two hours. Get out!”
The Demon Blade Abyss was an extremely terrifying place. It was a sealed space filled with living demon blades as far as the eye could see. There were tens of thousands of them, chasing down and trying to kill everyone inside in a frenzy. Even if it were the Fourth Elder, staying inside for two hours would be terrible.
The Fourth Elder was now wiping the sweat off his forehead. This master who would punish people at the drop of a hat was his real master. That smiling appearance just now… Just how did it come about?
But who would have imagined that right after the Mad Lion King finished punishing the Fourth Elder, he smiled again as he turned to talk with Su Luo. That attitude was just like coaxing a child, totally devoted and holding nothing back. It was the kind of attitude of a person who would fulfill any demands the other person made, unable to bear letting them leave.
The Fourth Elder seriously… did, not, understand, this!!!
He had clearly been along for the whole journey. Yet he totally didn’t understand what had just happened!
