Gu Lao looked at the person who arrived and burst into laughter: "Yu Ji, good, good! It's great you could come. I haven't seen you in days, and I never expected you to become even more beautiful, truly beautiful!"
In his spare time, Gu Lao enjoyed looking at beautiful women.
Yu Ji was his favorite, and naturally, Gu Lao's gaze was purely appreciative. The old man loved two things: martial arts prowess and these exquisite beauties!
"Then now... one more is missing!"
Sighing, the坛主 (Tan Zhu - Altar Master) didn't want to interrupt, but his mission wasn't complete. If Gu Lao left, his task would become truly difficult.
Seeing Yu Ji appear, Gu Lao immediately shouted towards the mountain!
"Yu Ji is back!"
As soon as he said this, several terrifying energy fluctuations lit up the Sacred Mountain direction, making it as lively as a festival. Instantly, seven or eight old fellows appeared, some looking like they were about to be buried, others seemingly having not bathed for who knows how long, their clothes in tatters.
These people descended directly onto the training grounds!
Their gazes swept over, and they immediately spotted Yu Ji. Like fervent fans, they all rushed forward to curry favor.
"Hey, Miss Yu Ji is truly beautiful. I haven't seen you in days, and I never expected your beauty to have increased even more!"
"Indeed, indeed. I was wondering why I had no appetite these past few days. It turns out it was because I hadn't seen Yu Ji..."
Seeing this scene, Gu Lao felt a bit annoyed!
After all, Yu Ji was someone he favored. Seeing these old fellows, Gu Lao kept them at a distance, preventing them from getting close to Yu Ji.
Then, Gu Lao said, "Listen, Yu Ji and I have both recommended a young man for the Elder selection. There's only one spot left. Who among you is willing to recommend him with me and Yu Ji?"
As soon as he said this, the old fellows present seemed as if they had been injected with chicken blood!
These fellows were all Yu Ji's fans! To be able to jointly recommend a junior with Yu Ji was an immense honor for them. As for who that junior was, it didn't matter at all.
Soon!
The坛主 was shocked. The seven or eight Elders present had all recommended Su Han. Combined with Gu Lao and Yu Ji from before, this was almost unprecedented. Ten Elders had gathered to jointly recommend him!
And the lineup was so luxurious it was astonishing!
"There, that's settled?" Gu Lao said, preparing to leave.
The坛主 nodded repeatedly and then said, "Alright, I will make the arrangements. In three days, during the assessment, I will go easy on him..."
Su Han was stunned. The assessment would go easy on him?
This was simply... unbelievable!
Gu Lao nodded with satisfaction and then said, "Yes, yes, ensure this kid gets selected, or I'll take your life!"
"And me! If the person Yu Ji recommends isn't selected, I'll be the first to object!"
"Indeed, indeed! I watched Yu Ji grow up. I know this girl, and her recommendation is definitely not wrong. Forget about any so-called selection process. If you ask me, since Yu Ji recommended him, why not just let him be selected directly!"
"Hey, hey, we still need to follow the rules. Let's just go through the motions!"
"That's right. Then we'll wait for news!坛主, you handle it. Just don't cause any trouble."
The few old men's pronouncements made the坛主 sweat.
After all, these Elders were not ordinary. Their strength was top-notch. Especially Gu Lao, who was the strongest among them. With just one word from Gu Lao, he would be dismissed.
Sighing, the坛主 couldn't understand why Yu Ji would recommend Su Han.
Similarly, the Great Protector, Raven Venerable, who was equally puzzled, didn't even dare to mention his disciple's matter this time, fearing that he might be killed by an Elder's palm.
After they left!
The newcomers present were completely dumbfounded!
What was the concept of an Elder? They were beings with even higher status than the坛主, capable of allocating countless resources, even deciding life and death, and acting with impunity!
And now, Su Han had as many as ten Elders vouching for him to become the next selected Elder!
And Gu Lao had even said he would go easy on Su Han!
This was truly a case of comparing oneself to others leading to one's own demise... Many young masters who had been with Su Han before were now regretting it immensely!
"Damn, I never expected that if I had known this kid Su Zengzu (great-grandson Su) was so awesome, I would have knelt down and begged him to be my master. Alas, I missed the opportunity!"
"That's right. You were indifferent to him back then, and now he's beyond your reach!"
"Isn't that the truth... If I could become sworn brothers with this kid, wouldn't it be easy to become an outer sect elder in the future?"
At this moment, everyone present was sighing.
However, the two sisters from the Flying Knife Sect who were with Su Han were filled with excitement. After all, they had lived with Su Han. They didn't think much of it before, but now they felt it was an infinite honor!
As for Zhang Lingling, she was even more apprehensive. She had never expected that Su Han, whom she had thought was just an ordinary rich kid, was now a big shot among big shots!
"Mr. Su..."
The three women immediately came to Su Han's side, all wanting to apologize, as they hadn't been very respectful to Su Han before.
Seeing this, Su Han laughed heartily: "What? You don't recognize me? Didn't I say I'd be staying in the training camp for a few more days? Now, who among you will go back and cook for me?"
As soon as he said this, the three women were incredibly excited. To be able to cook for Su Han was an infinite honor!
Wu Wenwen and Sun Qianqian immediately rushed out!
As for Zhang Lingling, she was not to be outdone and followed them.
Seeing the figures of the three women, Baili Qin Yin, who was standing nearby, rolled her eyes and said, "You're quite something, Su Han. I really didn't expect you to be so... fickle? Living with three girls? Tell me, what have you been doing these past few days?"
Su Han saw the peerless beauty beside him showing a hint of jealousy and couldn't help but laugh heartily.
Then, Su Han said, "Qin Yin, don't you know me? I stay wherever I'm arranged to stay. It's all their arrangement, it has nothing to do with me. Oh, right, Qin Yin, I remember you said you had gained some inspiration before. Now that we have some free time, can we have a good chat?"
