"My master seems to be fond of him. I wouldn't have paid any attention to him if it weren't for my master," the tall young man said derisively as he shook his head, "So what if he's a genius if he can't grow stronger?"
The young man was Long Xiao, Elder Lei's eldest disciple. Shi Tong Ming, who had conveyed Elder Lei's intention to accept Duan Ling Tian as a disciple previously, was his junior brother.
Long Xiao could tell that his master was slightly displeased by Duan Ling Tian's refusal even if his master did not say much. For this reason, he began to hate Duan Ling Tian. When he heard that Duan Ling Tian had gone to the trading hall to exchange for two Auspicious Pills, he had asked his close friend, Shangguan Xiong Feng, who was Elder Feng's eldest disciple, to snatch the two Auspicious Pills from Duan Ling Tian to vent his anger.
Due to their close relationship, Shangguang Xiong Feng readily agreed to help Long Xiao.
