Treasure Hunting

"You must have misunderstood them. There is nothing between Elva and Zachary," Lewis replied.

"Is that so? Maybe I did get it wrong." Sara smiled, nodding her head.

Almost at the same time, Elva walked to the stage and bowed to them. "Good morning, Master Lewis, Master Sara, Master..."

"Elva! It's nice that you've come. Master Sara was just talking about you. She has high expectations of you and says that you're gifted with talent," Lewis said. He smiled proudly at Elva.

"Thank you very much, Master Sara!" Elva was not a person who would flatter others. However, Sara was a warrior at the Imperial Level and was the invigilator from the Celestial College. Hence she was cautious not to displease Sara. She bowed to her to show her gratitude and respect, but her face was still cold.

The way Sara stared at Elva made her uncomfortable, but Elva decided to ignore it. She turned to Lewis and said, "Master Lewis, I was wondering if Zachary would be in the selection test."

"I happened to see the list of participants just now. He didn't quit. But I don't know whether he will be here to join or not. Never mind. It's his choice!" replied Lewis. Lewis was surprised to hear Zachary's name from Elva. After recalling what Sara had mentioned just now, he threw a glance at Sara helplessly.

"He is a piece of trash now. He can't even use his martial energy. If he insists on joining, he will only end up humiliating himself. I suppose he understands his situation," Sara remarked suddenly.

Lewis and the other stewards all felt a bit embarrassed. Even though there was nothing wrong with her words, they felt like she ridiculed Zachary quite harshly.

"Who says he's a piece of trash?" Elva asked. She felt offended by Sara's disdainful comment.

"I said so. Isn't it true?" Sara scoffed.

"Even though you're at the Imperial Level, you should still respect others. Zachary is only injured right now. I believe he will be able to bounce back!" Elva looked utterly annoyed, which was a complete contrast to how she was normally. She herself was surprised at her own behavior. The moment she heard Sara humiliating Zachary, she felt something sharp sting her heart. Perhaps it was because she felt guilty, or because of some other reasons. She suddenly felt that she wanted to challenge Sara's statement regarding Zachary.
