At this moment, the crowd unconsciously wanted to cover their eyes. They were afraid of seeing a scene where Su Luo’s blood would instantly be splattered!
Fifth Elder never expected that Su Luo would be so blunt. Before he could swallow his sip of tea, it suddenly got stuck in his throat, and he coughed violently: "Y-You… this…"
Fifth Elder had yet to even finish speaking when Su Luo sneered and interrupted him: "You all thought I stole the prescription for the Elite Marrow-cleansing Pill, right?"
Everyone nodded fervently.
"Haha. How ridiculous, truly ridiculous," Su Luo said with a mocking laugh. She stared straight at Li Luoming and continued, "Since you keep claiming that I stole the prescription for Elite Marrow-cleansing Pill, do you dare compete with me?"
"In what?" Li Luoming frowned. Seeing that he would soon be able to declare Su Luo as guilty of the theft, he did not want to cause more problems for himself.
"In pill refining," Su Luo sneered while looking directly at him.
"Compete in pill refining?" Li Luoming laughed loudly. "A competition in pill refining? You dare to compete with me in pill refining? Hahahahaha—"
Li Luoming really thought this was a particularly funny thing.
He was the most gifted amongst the younger generation of disciples in the Pill Refining Tower. In fact, he was already an Elite Apothecary now, yet Su Luo was so brazen as to want to compete with him in pill refining?
"Yes, in pill refining." Su Luo smiled nonchalantly. "The prescription for the Elite Marrow-cleansing Pill—you even dared to frame me for stealing such a crappy thing. I really don't know what to say about you people.”
The Elite Marrow-cleansing Pill… was a crappy thing?
Everyone was too stunned to react!
Su Luo's tone was extremely bold!
"That’s such big talk… Aren’t you afraid it’ll come back to bite you?! I think you are only an Advanced Apothecary at best. You’re so weak, yet you dare to look down on the Elite Marrow-cleansing Pill?" Li Luoming was furious.
"Since that's the case, a competition is the way to go." Su Luo smiled lazily. "If I can refine a Master Marrow-cleansing Pill, will that clear my name?”
When Su Luo said this, Li Luoming suddenly realized something.
Oh~~~~
So she wanted to use this strategy again!
It turned out that Su Luo had a Master Marrow-cleansing Pill hidden in her possession, so she wanted to take it out and pretend that she had refined it herself, right?
Li Luoming greatly despised people like Su Luo. Thus, he laughed heartily while mocking her: "Oh, Apothecary Su, you are so amazing. You can actually refine a Master Pill? How truly terrifying~"
Su Luo rolled her eyes: "…" This nutjob.
Li Luo Ming coughed twice and returned to normal: "Since you want to prove your innocence so much… Fine, let’s compete. However, I have one condition."
"What condition?" Su Luo tugged her lips into a humorless smile.
"We must… compete in public!" Li Luoming felt that he was extremely clever.
In a public competition, everyone would be watching. ‘Su Luo, you won’t be able to use the pill you already have for the competition now, right?’
Additionally, Li Luoming had a deeper purpose for this.
Hadn't Su Luo used a Master Pill to fool his Master in order to escape once? This time, he would have Su Luo show her true form and let everyone know she was a sham!
Li Luoming gave his own quick-wittedness a thumbs up.
"In public…" Su Luo seemed a little troubled.
Seeing Su Luo’s troubled expression, Li Luoming was unwilling to spare her and switched from a passive stance to an active one 1: “Yes, we must compete in public! Su Luo, do you dare to do so?!”
When he saw that Su Luo was hesitating, he added: "Didn't you say that you can refine a Master Marrow-cleansing Pill? If you can refine it in front of everyone, who would dare to say that you stole Elite Marrow-cleansing Pill? Wouldn’t that person be a fool? So, Su Luo, if you want to prove your innocence, you only have this one option of competing with me!"
