The boy gave Su Luo a spiteful glare on behalf of his master, then slowly took out a small box from the bag and handed it to Su Luo.
Su Luo happily took the box and opened it. Very good, Senior Brother Luo truly kept his word and did not try to deceive her again.
With this Communication Amulet, she could contact Zi Yan and the others more often and know their situation at any time. She wouldn’t have to worry about them like she did now.
After taking the Communication Amulet, Su Luo turned to leave but was stopped by Old Ning.
“Wait, little girl.” With a wave, three Soul Essences appeared in Su Luo’s hands.
“This…” Su Luo raised her head in surprise and puzzledly stared into Old Ning’s eyes.
She did in fact need three Soul Essences to repair her soul, but how did Old Ning know? Why did he choose to give them in person? And why were there exactly three of them?
“Wow –”
Seeing how Old Ning gave away three Soul Essences without any hesitation, many people gasped in shock.
What kind of relationship did Old Ning have with this girl? How could he give out such an expensive gift so easily? It must be known that Soul Essences were treasures that they weren’t eligible to buy at the time.
For a while, everyone looked at Su Luo in perplexion.
Old Ning laughed softly: “These three Essences were bet on you, so just accept them.”
“Bet?” Su Luo’s eyes widened.
“Yes,” Old Ning pointed to the pale-faced Guardian, and to Leng Xiao who was flushed in embarrassment, and said with a smile, “Two of them were contributed by these two. One said you couldn’t pass the fifth level, and the other bet that you couldn’t pass the sixth. As for the last one…”
Old Ning pointed his finger at the 201st-ranked examinee again, and smiled at Su Luo: “The last one was contributed by him who considered money as trash. He bet that you would be swept out of the seventh floor. Tsk tsk, how unexpected this result is.”
The 201st-ranked examinee clenched his fists. He couldn’t wait to attack Old Ning.
He was unmoved when he beat others up, but Old Ning’s words struck right at the core of his pride. What was left of his reputation on Downstream Mountain in the future? Thinking of this, the 201st-ranked examinee turned his spiteful and venomous look onto Su Luo!
The master Guardian and Leng Xiao didn’t look any better. Losing the Soul Essence was just a minor loss, and it shall be forgotten after some time. But to be humiliated like this in front of everyone?
Old Ning also understood what they were thinking as soon as he saw their faces, and chuckled contentedly at Su Luo: “So? As you have clearly won, don’t these belong to you now? This old man isn’t going to rob anything off from you.”
Su Luo instantly cracked a grin, the old man was quite an interesting figure.
Su Luo curled her lips. “If that is the case, I will gladly accept them. I just do not understand why you would want to help me?”
“A little friend asked me to keep an eye on you, but after seeing your performance…” Old Ning stroked his beard and nodded with a smile, “Even without my friend’s request, this old man will not be stingy.”
Su Luo liked this subtle praise; as a result, her mood improved. The corners of her mouth curled: “I wonder who that little friend of yours is…”
“You know full well who it is in your heart.” Old Ning suddenly seemed to remember something. His eyes brightened, and he stared at the Guardian.
The Guardian was greatly uncomfortable at being examined, so he gave the old man a bitter look: “What is it?”
