Upon hearing Phoebe's words, everyone was stunned for a moment before their eyes turned to Lachlan with different expressions. Lachlan's face was still, but anger surged in his eyes.
"What did you say?" He glared at Phoebe and asked coldly.
"I want you to jump down and help me distract the Otherworldly Beast! As long as I can get that divine medicine, the young master will give you enough rewards," Phoebe said with arrogance and dominance. "At least I guarantee that you will get fifth place in this personal trial!"
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone looked at Lachlan with a gloating and teasing expression. Benjamin, Finn, and Nathaniel also brightened up upon hearing Phoebe's idea. Yes! Let others lure away the Otherworldly Beast while they seize the divine medicine - it was a good plan!
Lachlan snorted coldly, watching Phoebe's face, and couldn't help but clench his fists. At this moment, he finally understood the true meaning behind Phoebe calling him her "tool." So, this was his purpose?
Savannah also frowned at this moment, a hint of dissatisfaction appearing on her face. "Miss Bishop, do you want Landon to go down and distract that powerful Otherworldly Beast? Isn't that sending him to his death? Besides, with so many people here, why should he be the one?"
Perhaps, among everyone present, only she felt indignant on behalf of Lachlan.
"Otherwise, why do you think I bothered to save you two from Arlo earlier? As for why I chose him, it's because he's the most suitable candidate," Phoebe said, looking at Lachlan. A mocking and playful curve appeared at the corner of her mouth. "Isn't he strong in defense? In the Mid-Uppecia stage, he can withstand attacks from the Core Formation Realm, so he should last a bit longer in front of the Otherworldly Beast."
In fact, there was one more thing she didn't say!
That was, Phoebe didn't like Lachlan, especially because he had offended her. Although this beautiful young mistress seemed cold and aloof, she had the typical flaws of a woman-pettiness and holding grudges.
Upon hearing this, Arlo suddenly laughed a few times. "Exactly! Did you really think Miss Bishop wanted to save you? Hurry up and jump down to help Phoebe distract the Otherworldly Beast. As long as you survive, Phoebe won't treat you unfairly!"
Benjamin and the others exchanged glances, then spoke one after another, pressuring Lachlan.
"So, your name is Landon, right? Hurry up and jump down!"
"Now is the time to use your expertise."
"Aren't you good at defense?"
Lachlan surveyed the entire scene, his sharp-faced profile revealing a mixture of mockery and indignation. Naturally, he couldn't jump down! Even if he could fight opponents above his level, he had no confidence in facing an Otherworldly Beast at the peak of the later stage of Core Formation.
"What if I don't jump?" Lachlan asked in a cold voice.
"Don't jump? Then I'll kill you and throw you down! Besides, your fellow disciple won't survive either! Weren't you willing to risk your life to confront Arlo and Theodore for her?" Phoebe threatened, drawing her sword from her waist with a "clang," pointing it towards Savannah.
In her view, Lachlan, a Mid-Uppecia cultivator, was willing to confront Arlo and Theodore for Savannah, showing that he cared deeply for this beautiful fellow disciple. Therefore, Phoebe used Savannah as leverage to threaten Lachlan.
"Jump!"
"Jump! Otherwise, Miss Bishop won't kill you, but we'll finish you off!"
