"Go, Lu!"
"Teach that arrogant Fang Lin a lesson!"
"Lu, don't you dare hold back!"
···
As soon as Lu Jiuhe appeared, he was greeted by the enthusiastic shouts of many regular disciples, showing that many people supported him.
Lu Jiuhe smiled and made his way to the center of the Pill Array in a calm and relaxed manner amid the crowd, bowing to the Zhou Elder on the stage.
The Zhou Elder merely nodded, saying, "Fang Lin is not here yet, let's wait a little longer."
Hearing this, a wave of commotion swept through the crowd. Many people felt that Fang Lin was going too far. Both the Elder and Lu Jiuhe had arrived, yet him, a lower ranking disciple, was nowhere in sight - they felt this was completely unacceptable.
The smile on Lu Jiuhe's face faded as he asked the elderly Zhou, "Elder, what if Fang Lin continues to not show up?"
