Although there was still a year remaining, Fairy Wu You had already determined that Luo Yichen was hers. Therefore, at this moment, she was already exercising her sovereignty.
However, with a flick of his sleeve, Luo Yichen sent Fairy Wu You back 3 meters.
Fairy Wu You stomped her feet but was still able to catch up and stopped in front of Luo Yichen. Pointing at Su Luo, she said with a cold voice: "She is not someone from Upstream Mountain, so she can't enter this door!"
"Although the two of them were selected from the Midstream Mountain, because they were late for the assessment, they can only return this time. Therefore, they must wait to be selected in next month’s assessment at Midstream Mountain!" Fairy Wu You sneered as she glared at Su Luo.
She just wouldn’t let Su Luo, this vile wench, enter!
Su Luo looked up at Luo Yichen. Could Fairy Wu You be saying the truth?
Who would have thought for Luo Yichen's indifferent voice to ring out: "The rules are indeed like this."
"But--" Luo Yichen's voice paused. He looked at Fairy Wu You with indifference, "Two people died on the battlefield, so two slots have now been freed up."
And these two slots would naturally be filled in by people from the Midstream Mountain.
Fairy Wu You rolled her eyes: “……”
How could there be such a coincidence!
It just so happened that two places had been freed up. Did that mean that Su Luo, this wench, could enter?
"But there is no place for her to stay!" Fairy Wu You replied with uncertainty.
"Stay with me." Luo Yichen pulled Su Luo and glanced at Fairy Wu You with a smile, "Do you have any opinions about that?"
"I…" Fairy Wu You certainly had an opinion! A great deal of opinions!
Nevertheless, Senior Brother Luo completely ignored her, not even shooting a glance at her as he turned around and left.
Su Luo proceeded to carry Big Sister Wei on her back and followed Luo Yichen. Living in the same yard with Luo Yichen. Su Luo thought about what Nangong Liuyun had warned her about. Although she had planned on not agreeing, Big Sister Wei was now seriously injured. Besides, Fairy Wu You was glaring at her with covetous eyes; this was not the time to be willful.
In any case, Luo Yichen was on her side, though she didn't know who his master was.
On the way, Su Luo tried to talk to Luo Yichen, trying to figure out who had entrusted him to take care of her. Nonetheless, Luo Yichen was tight-lipped about it. Moreover, he even kept a straight face and seemed to even be angry all along the way.
Thinking about what just happened, Su Luo agreed with Luo Yichen. If, in one year, she lost, then such a handsome person would be sent to the hands of Fairy Wu You, just like that.
While Su Luo was thinking about this, Luo Yichen turned his face and shot her a fierce glare, emphasizing every word: "You. Are. Not. Allowed. To. Lose!"
Su Luo's lips tightened into a white line, and she nodded, "Hmph hmph! Senior Brother Luo, I will definitely win for you!!!"
A smile had in fact appeared within Su Luo’s heart. She hadn’t expected that Senior Brother Luo had kept a straight face all the way because he was paying attention to such a matter. So that was why he had been so angry just now. It was really quite cute.
Luo Yichen glared at Su Luo and didn’t say another word throughout the rest of the journey. Nevertheless, he never stopped caring for her.
He took Su Luo to his exclusive Wuchen Mountain and left her there before disappearing off to somewhere else.
As she looked at this Wuchen Mountain, waves of admiration overwhelmed Su Luo’s heart!
What a world of difference in treatment!
Brother Luo lived all by himself in such a big place! It was bigger than Distal End Mountain, where thousands of people lived. The villa on the Distal End Mountain where she stayed was like a beggar's den compared to this place.
This was an ancient castle with an incomparably large surrounding garden. It had a low-key profile, yet it was exceedingly luxurious. A whole line of guards stood by the entrance, all of whom possessed extraordinary cultivation.
Mountains could be seen far into the distance with vast endless plains of greenery in between.
An old man who seemed to be a housekeeper, followed by two rows of maids, was standing in wait respectfully for Su Luo's instructions.
This was because Luo Yichen had left a message for his housekeeper when he had brought Su Luo back to his residence: "I have given her the authority as the second master of this place."
The housekeeper naturally had to give Su Luo his highest regard.
There was still time to tour this whole manor. However, as Su Luo was still carrying the unconscious Big Sister Wei on her back, she asked the housekeeper for a room.
After entering the room, Su Luo placed Big Sister Wei on the bed and proceeded to check her body.
Su Luo was very lucky this time; it was fortunate that Big Sister Wei’s body was indestructible. If not, she would have lost her life under the repeated attacks from those people.
However, due to the seriousness of her injuries, it would be impossible for her to recover completely within one and a half years if left untreated.
Touching her chin, Su Luo started looking for medicine in her space.
Aside from the other attacks, there was also the poison on Fairy Wu You’s cold sword. Su Luo had no suitable Detoxification Pill to treat this at the moment, so she would have to refine it herself.
Su Luo proceeded to look through the medical herbs stored in the Space. After sorting through them one by one, she found that she only had eight of the nine herbs she needed for the Detoxification Pill. The missing one was a Poisonous Serpent Scorpion Grass.
This was Su Luo’s first time here, so she was very unfamiliar with Upstream Mountain. She had intended to go ask Senior Brother Luo, but found that he had closed the door to his cultivation room tightly. Furthermore, there was a group of bodyguards guarding him, making it utterly impossible for her to gain entry.
Therefore, Su Luo could only use her brain to solve her problems.
After some inquiries, Su Luo found that she could not obtain the Poisonous Serpent Scorpion Grass by exchanging points, leaving her with the only choice of collecting it herself.
Su Luo went to search again. At last, she found some information that someone from the eastern region of the Magical Beast Zone might have encountered the Poisonous Serpent Scorpion Grass.
Although it was doubtful, it was also a clue. With Big Sister Wei lying on the bed in a coma because of her, how could Su Luo do nothing to help her? Even if the odds were slim, she was determined to give it a shot.
The housekeeper looked at Su Luo. He tried to say something, but hesitated before saying: "Miss Su, the Inner Magical Beast Zone cannot be compared to the Outer Magical Beast Zone. The Inner Magical Beast Zone here is very difficult to deal with."
Su Luo smiled: "I know."
The housekeeper evaluated Su Luo's strength, before sighing in silence.
Seven-star Commander Rank… How did she manage to enter the Upstream Mountain with that level of cultivation? Was there really no tricks involved in that? One should know, those masters on the Dragon List were at the very least Saint ranks.
Nevertheless, the housekeeper also knew that it was out of his scope of duties. Therefore, he didn't say much and just went to see Luo Yichen.
When he came out of the cultivation room, the doubt in his eyes was even more apparent. Nonetheless, he still continued to follow his master's instructions.
Soon, Su Luo met a group of strangers.
There were five strangers in this group. All of them were dragons and phoenixes among 1, possessing cultivations of Saint rank and above.
The housekeeper explained to Su Luo: "The master said that if Miss Su insists on entering the Inner Magical Beast Zone, you must be protected by Xiao Luo’s team before you can enter there."
Seeing Su Luo's doubts, the housekeeper explained to her with patience in detail: "Many people on the Dragon List will form teams to enter the Inner Magical Beast Zone. Each team will have a captain, and our master is the leader of this team, though he is only the leader in name."
Su Luo understood what he was saying. Every team needed a backer, and Luo Yichen was serving as the backer of this team.
