The words of the elder surnamed Su were resolute and imposing. If someone inexperienced were listening, they might even believe him.
But Fang Lin, having lived two lifetimes, has learned better. The elder's words might sound sincere, but he likely had an ulterior motive.
The greatest possibility was that the old man coveted Fang Lin's Shaking Three Mountains, hence the facade.
If Fang Lin was an ordinary person, the elder, Su, would probably watch him getting disrespected by the Li family with complete indifference.
"Fang, you should quickly pay respect to Elder Su, the highest-ranking elder of the Pill Alliance in this place," Ouyang Jing noted, seeing the look on Fang Lin's face, he whispered.
Fang Lin smiled and respectfully saluted the elder, Su.
Elder Su slightly nodded his head, his gaze lingering on Fang Lin for a moment, before he paced away.
